Wabash Scores Three All-Americansby Howard W. Hewitt • March 13, 2010 Share:
GREENCASTLE – A senior got his long awaited due while a freshman and sophomore made it clear they're not satisfied. Nonetheless, Coach Clyde Morgan returned from the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships with three All-Americans.
Senior hurdler Emmanuel Aouad placed third in the 55-meter hurdles while sophomore Kevin McCarthy and freshman Jake Waterman were sixth and seventh in the 800-meter run. All three advanced from Friday's semi-finals to run Saturday afternoon in the NCAA Championship held at DePauw University. All three are now All-Americans.
See a photo album from Saturday's meet here.
Aouad set the pace in the qualifying with a blistering start. He didn't get the quick jump Saturday but closed in the final 10 meters.
"I'm better at running hard between the hurdles," he explained. "Friday, I had a real good start but I wasn't going to count on that. I knew right when we went out, don't freak - I was like 'stick to the plans, stick to the plans. We had a blueprint and it worked out."
Coach Clyde Morgan actually had Aouad in sixth place coming off the last hurdle but a fundamental the Wabash coach stresses made a big difference. "He didn't panic and he finished strong. When he got to hurdle five, he was really in about sixth place and he ran to the line opposed to what a lot of guys do - leaning too early. We work on that a lot in practice - stand tall and run it through. That last 10 meters changed sixth to third."
Aouad was clearly ecstatic earning All-American honors after coming close before but never making the final race. "I couldn't imagine anything better," the always effusive Aouad said. "There has always been that elusive All-American status. It seems like I'd just miss making it to a meet. I'd get bumped off the list or something.
"It was just awesome to top it off like this and get Coach an All-American."
Standing off to the side while Aouad was talking to the press, Morgan was taken with his hurdler's last statement. "That hit me in my chest," Morgan said. "We have a great relationship. I plan on being at Wabash a long time and I thought 'wow he's my first." That made me feel great that he wanted to do that for me. But it's about him and he deserved it.
"When he came across that line and kind of smiled we connected, I had to go for a walk and get myself together. I was so excited for him."
Morgan's job was a little tougher after Wabash's second showing. McCarthy and Waterman qualified second and fourth on Friday but couldn't match the field's fast start and finished sixth and seventh, respectively.
Both clearly showed the disappointment of not matching the previous day's performance, but Morgan was having none of that. "You reflect on this weekend and those guys made history," Morgan said, and then repeated what he told the two runners. " 'How can you leave this meet down?' I asked them, 'Are you kidding me?" Then they both started smiling."
McCarthy was close to All-American honors in the fall cross country season. "I had a taste of that in cross country, just a couple seconds off being an All-American," he said. "It's real cool to actually come back and be in the top six in Division III in the nation. It's quite an honor but we got a long way to go, I was only sixth."
Waterman and McCarthy explained the plan was to jump to a quick start and try to control the race, but both were near the back of the pack as the quick group set the pace. "You can't play catch up with a field of guys this good," Waterman said. "Not much I could do … mentally it puts you out of the race when you're behind a lot of guys like that."
Finally teammates and coaches and Aouad had the younger guys smiling. Aouad was overheard telling the guys it took him four years to become an All-American.
"They're both down, but I don't think they took in this weekend yet," Coach Morgan said. "A freshman and a sophomore – all Americans… two Wabash guys on podium; wow, I'm so excited for them."
There is little time to rest. The Wabash outdoor track season starts Saturday with the J. Owen Huntsman Relays.

Her Turn
"My 21-year-old stepdaughter, Dana, moved in last year after dropping out of her junior year of college," said Ellen, 37, a marketing representative, who has a seven-year-old son, Jack, from a previous marriage and is now seven months pregnant. "I love her, but her laziness and disregard for the rest of us is driving Warren and me crazy.
"Worse, we're totally at odds over Dana. She manipulates us so that Warren and I are bickering a lot now — something we'd rarely done in our two-year marriage.
"I really feel for this kid. Her mother, Warren's first wife, died when Dana was five, and she was shuttled from one relative to another. Warren was in no condition to care for her then — he has a history of drug problems, and it's only in the last few years that he's straightened out. But he adores his daughter, and he's worried about her.
"Dana is a smart girl, but she got derailed, so she asked to move in with us until she figured out what she wanted to do. I wouldn't have any problem with that if she didn't flout every rule we have. She's a total slob. She leaves pizza crusts in the living room, watches soap operas for hours and spills cigarette ashes on the carpet. She didn't do wash for two months, and when she finally ran out of clothes, we had a big blowup because she expected me to do laundry for her.
"Both Warren and I are also very worried about Dana's weight. She's well over two hundred pounds. She refuses to talk about it, and she canceled the appointment I made for her with a weight specialist. We hate to nag, but she's facing serious medical problems.
"Warren thinks I'm a pushover because I try to draw Dana out. But his alternative is unacceptable: He confronts her angrily, Dana rolls her eyes and gets this sneering look, and his temper just explodes. The next thing I know, my husband is pounding the walls, Dana is screaming, and I'm at wit's end
"Dana is also very manipulative. She tells me constantly that Warren is taking advantage of me because he procrastinates with everything — helping around the house, doing the yardwork, taking the car in for repairs. I can't believe her impudence, insinuating herself into our relationship like that. I'm starting to have all these doubts and jealous feelings now whenever Warren is late coming home, so I pepper him with questions.
"While my own childhood was very different from Dana's, I can relate to her. Dad, who worked as a manager for a life-insurance company, never had time to be with me. Mom worked full-time as a secretary, and when she was home, she was preoccupied with what everyone else thought. She hated the way I looked: I was never thin enough or pretty enough, so she put me on diets from the fourth grade on.
"She sent mixed messages. One minute she'd treat me like a confidante, then suddenly she'd become cold and even pretend that a conversation had never taken place.
"I met my first husband at a party after college graduation, but the marriage lasted only a few years. I knew he was an alcoholic when I married him, but I thought I could make a difference. The one good thing that came out of that marriage was Jack.
"I met Warren at the tail end of my marriage. I was working at a record company, and Warren was a freelance photographer shooting album covers. The chemistry between us was tremendous. We used to talk for hours. We were best friends, and after my marriage ended, we became lovers. Jack bonded with him immediately. I knew Warren had had a drug problem, but he goes to support-group meetings faithfully, and he's been clean for three years. He's got his own business now — he's developing a Web site.
"In the past, we always balanced each other. But as the tension with Dana escalated, we've lost that. Warren is often evasive. If I ask what he did during the day, or who just phoned, I can't get a straight answer. The whole mess with Dana has left me totally confused."
His Turn
"Let me say right off the bat that I love my daughter very much, even though, over the years, I've been one lousy dad," said Warren, 42. "But Dana is screwing up her life, just like I screwed up mine, and I can't stand to see her on the same destructive path.
"I was raised by a single mom who cleaned houses to support me. She left my dad when I was an infant, and we haven't seen him since. I'm still close to my mother, but she's extremely overprotective. My older brother, Jonny, was hit by a car and killed when he was three and I was one. Jonny was Mom's miracle child — talking in full sentences at two, playing the piano at three. While she never compared me to him, I sensed I had this incredible image to live up to. Many times she'd called me Jonny by mistake.
"I was a good student until I discovered drugs when I was 10. I started selling, too. Mom was often called to school because I had stopped going to class. Though it's hard to believe now, even an overprotective mother like mine was clueless back then about what was happening to me. The authorities told my mother I was sociopathic. Actually, I was stoned.
"In spite of all this, I managed to win a college scholarship, but I lasted less than a semester. I dropped out and started selling drugs while I bounced from one job to another. I met my first wife, Dana's mother, when I was 20, but the marriage was doomed from the start. We split up and she died of a brain tumor when Dana was five.
"As Ellen said, Dana was raised by my wife's relatives. I saw her whenever they let me, which wasn't often. When she started college, we became much closer. And when she dropped out, I was devastated. You see, I'm finally turning my life around. Three years ago, I checked myself into a hospital detox program, and I've been drug-free ever since. I've started a mail-order Web site from home, and I plan to take care of Jack and the baby while Ellen continues working. But Dana has thrown a monkey wrench into the whole system.
You see, I'm finally turning my life around. Two years ago, I checked myself into a hospital detox program and I've been drug-free ever since. I'm trying to start a mail order Web site — I've set up an office in our home and I'll be the primary caretaker of the baby while Ellen continues at the record company. But Dana has thrown a monkey wrench into the whole system.
"I know I've always had a temper, but Dana's incredible rudeness brings out my worst. I'm a procrastinator, so when I ask Dana to wash the dishes and she says she'll do it later, I feel like I'm breaking out in hives. It doesn't help that my wife mops up after Dana at every turn. Maybe I have no patience, but Ellen has too much, and I think that's just as harmful. Whenever I try to set limits, they close ranks. I don't like fighting, and I'd rather not talk at all than argue.
"My relationship with Dana really soured when she started to come between me and Ellen. When Ellen acts like the Grand Inquisitor, expecting me to account for every minute and every person I speak to on the phone, I feel smothered. I'm not hiding anything .I just don't tell her everything.
"I don't want to be here, but if counseling can help alleviate some of this constant tension, I'll be here as long as necessary."
The Counselor's Turn
"Though they anticipated some difficulties when Dana moved in," said the counselor, "neither Ellen nor Warren thought she would have such a serious effect on their relationships. So a key goal of therapy was teaching them new tactics to deal with Dana while keeping their relationships in focus.
"Ellen's identification with her stepdaughter left her unable to see that Dana needed and wanted guidance. Ellen also had to learn that she could assert her own needs and that she didn't have to be the savior of the whole family. Warren had to check his anger before it destroyed every positive relationship he had built over the last few years.
"Warren and Ellen were both so convinced that fighting was a dirty word, they avoided it at all costs. Unfortunately, not fighting can be just as damaging to a marriage. When these two simply appeased each other, they stopped short of solving their dilemmas. They needed to learn how to work toward real resolutions.
"Compounding their problems was the fact that Ellen was a classic enabler, someone who appears to be nurturing and caring for others, but is actually allowing them to behave in self-defeating ways. Like many enablers, Ellen thought she was being firm, but she often waffled and eventually rescinded her rules. It's not hard to see why, of course. Ellen's parents were emotionally distant, withdrawing their love and affection when it suited them. Subconsciously, Ellen embarked on a mission to win love by always being there for others, even at the expense of herself. For his part, Warren used anger to intimidate others and protect his bruised inner core.
"To help Ellen and Warren deal with Dana, I explained that she had never learned to handle setbacks. Warren and Ellen had allowed her to stay with them indefinitely, and Ellen rushed to do everything for her, so Dana was off the hook. I told them, 'Why should she be independent, when you both make it so comfortable for her to stay a child?'
"I suggested they draw up a contract for all three of them to sign. Although this sounds impersonal, it forces everyone to state his or her needs and expectations. Ellen and Warren agreed to pay for Dana to return to school if she wanted to. If not, she had to work to pay her own rent. As long as she was under their roof, she must share housework and other responsibilities. The contract established emotional limits, too: While Dana had a right to her opinions, she had no right to voice them in snide, manipulative ways to Ellen. If Dana broke the contract, she had to leave immediately. However, on the issue of Dana's weight, Ellen and Warren had to step back — Dana wouldn't and couldn't lose weight for them.
"Once Dana realized Ellen and Warren were serious, she came around, complaining much less than Ellen or Warren expected. After two months, she found a job at a senior-citizen center and moved into an apartment with a girlfriend. She's beginning to talk about going back to school in the fall.
"As the tension over Dana subsided, Warren and Ellen could work on intimacy in their marriage. Both partners had built a protective wall around themselves — Ellen through emotional distrust, and Warren with his anger. Though he couldn't admit it at first, trust was further complicated by the fact that Ellen worried he might someday relapse into drug use.
"However, an important breakthrough came once Ellen was able to make the connection between her childhood experience and the assumptions she was projecting onto Warren. We spent several weeks talking about why Ellen didn't trust Warren, and why it was scary to be dependent on another person. In time, Ellen understood that she'd been assuming Warren, like her parents, would abandon her emotionally if she let down her guard.
"I suggested to Warren that whenever he felt furious, he needed to say to Ellen, 'I'm beginning to feel angry, and I need a time-out.' This allowed him to think through the outcome of his rage, and signaled to Ellen that he respects their relationship and doesn't want to damage it by going ballistic.
"Soon after Dana moved out, little Kenny was born — and Warren stepped right into the role of doting father, just as he had promised. Ellen took a six-week maternity leave, while Warren juggled caring for the children and his fledgling business. 'Seeing him with Jack and our son has made me feel so close to him,' Ellen now says. Ellen and Warren know they must continue to work hard to stay close. But they also know just how rewarding that can be."
"Can This Marriage Be Saved?" is the most popular, most enduring women's magazine feature in the world. This month's case is based on interviews with clients and information from the files of Nanette Berman Cohen, M.S.W., a therapist in Plainview, New York, and professor of social work at Adelphi University, in Garden City, New York. The story told here is true, although the names and other details have been changed to conceal identities.

Intense Day Two At 2012 Australian Melges 24 Nationals
27 January 2012
Day two and crews were notified that the race area had changed to Course D outside Corio Bay, an hour out through the shipping channel.The first race of the day was abandoned after the wind died completely an hour and a half into racing on the second lap, Bandit leading.
The race that followed was a fight to the finish in light breeze between Sydney harbour training partners, Kevin Nixon"Accru" finishing one second in front of Warwick Rooklyn's Bandit, Heath Walters Arriba Arriba third.
Race four gave Kaito a good result after the disappointment of yesterday, they finished close behind Bandit and Accru took another win.
Race five in the series was a great demonstration of how close Melges 24 One Design racing can be, two minutes separating first and last place. The Bandit crew took the gun they had been hunting all day, just ahead of Accru and Dave Bull in Jester 4 third place, finding form in his new boat.
At the completion of day two and after five races Warwick Rooklyn Bandit is leading the regatta two points ahead of Kevin Nixon Accru. The 'Boat of the Day' flag was deservedly won by the Nixon"today, two wins and a second place.
"We had good speed today, we have been training with Bandit which has been great, but we were struggling with rig set up, it felt right today, we also had a good day with the shifts. If we got in front of Bandit we just had to cover them, we were faster downwind but had to hang in there upwind"said Kevin Nixon
Kevin"crew is his family, wife Glenda, son Daniel and daughter Bonnie. Kevin commented exhausted on the dock after an eight hour day on the water in hot sun "we had good starts, but the racing was really tight"
Two point separate first and second place heading into day three.

Hi I have just sent my personal statement which begins with the expression "Making the difference" (Making the difference, everyday: this is what I am looking for, and is truly what a career in medicine is all about for me.")
However, apparently you can also say "making a difference" (which from what I have seen on some websites is the most frequent way).
I am already desperate... I bet I have written the wrong one on my personal statement and the admission tutors will bin it straight away!!!
Don't be depressed. :D Cheer up! Your personal statement sounds wonderful. It's OK.Originally Posted by chriss
Making the difference IS ENGLISH. 8)
All the best, :D

Hi everyone. My name is Stephanie Blizzard, I am 27 years old, have two beautiful girls, not with their dad anymore (I think that my being an atheist had something to do with the marriage ending), married again to a great guy. I am an atheist, have come to that realization around the age of 17 or 18 years old. But, I was not raised in a very religious household, I do know that my mom as well as my dad have their own beliefs. We were not church goers when I was younger, so I think that my upbringing had some influence over the fact that I don't believe in God. Of course I didn't start questioning everything until I was older and I basically asked myself "Why do I believe in God?", and my life changed from there on. I have had a few run ins with some ignorant people on the topic of their religious beliefs and because I am also into body piercings and tattoos, that didn't really help the situation, so I have had a couple of people assume that I was into devil worship and that I was into heavy drugs.
Aside from the fact that I am atheist, my interests are of course my daughters, my husband, body piercings and tattoos, genealogy, computers, books, movies, music, drawing and painting. I am originally from Michigan, but I have lived in 7 different states, most of the states I have lived in more than once. I even lived in South Korea for a short time, but I don't remember much of it, as I was two years old at the time. I work as a Research Assistant for a company called Robinson Research, basically just conducting surveys over the phone, I'm sure that most of you have probably gotten a call about one survey or another....maybe even from me...lol. We don't do political surveys, which I am very happy about, because the top two discussions that I try to avoid like the plague are about political and/or religious views.
I am so glad that I have found this place, because, as I am sure you all know, that you don't come across very many people outside the web that share your religious beliefs, or should I say lack there of. It becomes extremely hard to speak to anyone on that particular topic. So, that being said, I look forward to hopefully making some new and interesting friends that I have something in common with on here!

Current Law Students / Re: Adderall-Law school finals/studying« on: August 13, 2009, 04:07:43 AM »
Actually I do not see any bad in taking pills that help you coping you with various situations just like exams that last about three to four hours. Things like that are really stressful and it is quite unhealthy to be stressed in such a high level amount. Of course I am definitely not talking about drug abuse or using hallucinogenic drugs, but I think to cope with stress it is absolutely okay to use pills for stress. I had a very heavy exam and I was so nervous and stressed out that I couldn't even concentrate for a single second. It really freaked me out. I called my mother and she came over two hours before the exam started and brought me some pills she uses for stress, called flexeril, and they really helped me out. I was quite skeptical in the beginning, but as I found an enlightening feeling inside my brain and my body I was able to concentrate on the most important matter of the day. My exam. So I guess situations like that are absolutely adequate for using pills for stress.

Matvey Gredinger
Born: June 2, 1921
Vertujeni, Romania
Matvey was the youngest of three children born to a Jewish family. The Gredingers lived in the town of Vertujeni, which was located in Bessarabia, a region of Romania. His father was a kosher butcher, preparing meat, especially chicken, for sale in his kosher shop. Matvey attended a Jewish school where he studied Jewish history and Hebrew.
1933-39: We heard stories from other towns about antisemitic groups, especially the League of National Christian Defense, harassing and sometimes attacking Romanian Jews. But only small groups tormented us in our town. After I completed the seventh grade, I went to the Romanian capital of Bucharest in 1934 and secured a job working in a textile factory. While I was away, my family moved to the town of Vysoka.
1940-44: While I was visiting my family in 1940, the Soviets occupied Bessarabia. Within a year the Germans occupied the area. At once, Romanian soldiers began shooting Jews. We barricaded our house but the soldiers broke in. I was dragged out and a soldier fired at me; the bullet passed through my neck. I collapsed, unconscious but alive, lying in a pool of blood. Later, the soldiers used a match to check my breathing. I feigned death. They heaped rocks on me and left. After dark, I rose and ran through the woods.
Matvey fled to a nearby town, but the Germans came the next day. He was then deported to a forced-labor camp in Ukraine. In 1944 he was liberated by the Red Army.

I know there are a few cachers out there using human powered vehicles in their activities and wondering if anyone could recommend a bike shop in Winnipeg to do some quick repairs on my cache mobile. Need a broken spoke repaired and tire trued. I am in town Monday thru Thursday but would prefer to get the repairs done sooner than later to allow for some bicycle caching.
Any advice greatly appreciated,
Cheers, Dragonfreys
Thank you all for your advice. I ended up finding a place near to where I was staying called Gord's Cycle and Ski and they did very nice work for a reasonable price. They were also convienently open until 9 pm. It was just a couple blocks NE of the Bus Stops Here cache.

ONE of the biggest sources of conflict between South Asian couples is the perceived over-involvement of in-laws. This belief that in-laws are "meddling" in the relationship is a perception that both men and women alike seem to feel.
In the book "Multicultural Couple Therapy," Mudita Rastogi notes that in her counselling work with South Asian couples in the United States, it was rare for the couples to not mention in-law problems, and that it was common for them to cite the in-laws as the main source of the relationship problem. Women typically mentioned feeling judged or persecuted by in-laws, while men felt in-laws meddled in their relationship with their spouse.

Cutting the speed limit could significantly reduce the number of people who die on Australian roads, a leading road trauma researcher says.
A total of 48 people died on Australian roads this Christmas/New Year period, slightly less than the 50 who died over the 2011/12 period, according to the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA).
Professor Max Cameron from the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) says there are things that can be done - especially on rural roads - to further cut the road toll.
"The modern thinking about road safety is we've gone about as far as we can go in preventing crashes ... but we want to make those crashes less injurious and the key to making crashes less injurious in terms of fatal outcome is to crash at lower speeds," Prof Cameron told AAP.
"No matter how the crash occurs, whether it's drink-driving or drug-driving or fatigue, if you crash at a lower speed you're much less likely to result in a fatal crash."
This holiday season, NSW - which started its holiday road period two days before the rest of the country - had the highest number of fatalities with 15 deaths, followed by Victoria where nine people lost their lives.
For 2012, Victoria had a record low road toll of 279, making it the fifth consecutive year of improvements.
South Australia was the only other state to reduce its road toll for 2012, according to Victoria Police.
Prof Cameron attributed this to speed limit enforcement.
"The one thing that both those states do, and Victoria in particular, is really get serious about speed enforcement," he said.
"Most other states seem to be even apologetic in terms of enforcing even existing speed limits let alone the lower ones that I'm talking about."
But SA's acting assistant police commissioner Michael Cornish said the state's seven deaths over the period were all avoidable.
"In some cases those who died made very deliberate decisions to place themselves and other road users at risk by speeding or drinking alcohol and driving, but in some cases it was just a moment of distraction or inattention," Mr Cornish said.
Mr Cornish said despite an intensive policing campaign, positive drugs and alcohol tests during the holiday period were up on the previous year.
The number of positive drug tests rose from 33 to 97, alcohol offences increased to 220 from 209 while speeding fines more than doubled to 1440.

Bell (127no) was today following up the unbeaten century in Nagpur which helped England close out their historic series victory over India before Christmas.
Batting was far from straightforward for the tourists, on day one of four against a New Zealand XI after they were put in on a surface offering plenty of help to the new-ball bowlers at the Queenstown Events Centre ground.
After Alastair Cook (60) and Nick Compton negotiated the first hour, England overcame the loss of three wickets for 36 runs as Bell, Joe Root and Matt Prior all made significant contributions.
Bell's chanceless 196-ball innings was the key, to give his team the advantage despite Jimmy Neesham's four for 65.
He shared stands of 97 with Root and then 60 in barely 12 overs with Prior on the way to a stumps total of 357 for seven.
He made it clear afterwards too that batting was tough at times on a day which provided England with a valuable opportunity to attune to the challenges ahead once the first Test of three starts in Dunedin next week.
"I think it was difficult," he said, praising Cook and Compton in particular for their efforts.
"I thought we played very well. The two guys up front had the tough time in that first hour - and we got through that.
"Then you want to cash in when it comes to the last session, which we managed to do.
"Some of the one-day wickets we've played on here have been absolutely flat.
"So to play on a wicket a little bit more in the bowlers' favour was a good test - and it was nice to come through that."
Seam and swing movement, especially with the new ball, suggested England had a useful score on the board already.
"There's enough grass on there, a lot left on that pitch, so I think the new ball will be key," added Bell.
"There was just enough seam movement all day, and I hope it will be the same throughout the game."
England's number five had every right to be pleased with his own performance, but also made a point of congratulating Root on another promising innings.
"It went really nicely for me today, and I think we're in quite a good position on this wicket," he said.
"Joe played nicely, in a situation where we probably needed to get a partnership together - and we did exactly that.
"It's good for us, me batting at five and him at six, the more we bat together and get familiar with each other's games - strengths and weaknesses - the better.
"It's a nice little spot for him there, certainly with Matty Prior just in behind him.
"He played very coolly and calmly."
Neesham, an age-group contemporary of Root's, was also impressed by the young Yorkshireman - who missed out on his 50 by just one run, clean-bowled by part-time medium-pacer Carl Cachopa.
"I played against him at the Under-19s World Cup," he said.
"He was a good player then, and looks like he's made a few more steps forward as well.
"He looked very solid out there, and obviously played very well in the one-day series as well.
"He does look a good player."
The uncapped Neesham, who may yet find himself up against England next week as the as yet unnamed seamer the hosts intend to promote to their full squad after this match, has great respect for the tourists - and appears a little fearful for his own country.
"I think they're a very good team," he said.
"I think the Kiwis have probably got a bit to prove after the South Africa series.
"I think we're going through a bit of a rebuilding phase at the moment, having lost a few senior players."
For Bell, as well as the moving ball, the comings and goings at the airport next door were an added distraction but one he mastered happily in such picturesque surroundings.
"When I was in with Broady there, we were talking about the helicopters just floating over and keeping an eye on them rather than watching the ball," he said.
"But it's a great place to play cricket."

Today, people would like to grow and eat food like their grandparents used to. That was healthy, tasty, and organic food which was produced without pesticides. To do that, they would have to leave the comfort of big cities and start living in the countryside. But, there is one thing which can help them to do that in their condos, houses, and many other places. They can buy some of many Octopot grow systems for indoor growing for numerous kinds of plants.
Since these systems were invented, more and more people are willing to try growing food. They are made to provide plants with necessary nutrients and other things which every plant should have to grow in the best possible way and in the best conditions. The company which produces them is Octopot. They are constantly developing them, and they try to make growing food even more easy for their customers. You can check the website of this company and see which systems they have in the offer. There is much useful information on their website. You can see videos which can help you plant a seed in a proper way, which organic pesticides you can use for it, and numerous other things.
Octopot Grow Systems are perfect for people who would like to grow food without leaving the city. You can produce food in a way you want. That food will surely be healthier and tastier than the one from the supermarkets. You do not have to use artificial fertilizers and pesticides which can be dangerous for your health. There are many organic nutrients which you can use for it. There is no need for treating plants with a lot of pesticides because conditions in your house, condo, or some other closed space are better than those from the outside. There is no rain, snow, frost, insects, hot sun, and other things inside. The temperature is almost always the same. This company produces many types of these systems. DWC system is one of them. Most of the customers agree that this is the best system for indoor growing many different kinds of plants.
Deep Water Culture is the full name of this system, and there is a reason for that. This is growing without using soil. When you grow plants in it, you will only have to use soil and mineral nutrient solutions. Roots are deep down in the water and nutrients help plant to grow faster and to have bigger and better yields. Each plant will grow in the perfect conditions. If you use some techniques for growing which you can find in videos which Octopot posts on the website, then you will grow plants easier and with more joy.
Search the internet and see what people think about these systems before you decide to buy them. When you read comments, then you will surely buy them. There are no negative comments. People enjoy growing food by using these systems, and they are willing to share their experiences with other people.

There's one kind of crank that I haven't really paid much attention to on this blog, and that's the real number cranks. I've touched on real number crankery in my little encounter with John Gabriel, and back in the old 0.999...=1 post, but I've never really given them the attention that they deserve.
There are a huge number of people who hate the logical implications of our definitions real numbers, and who insist that those unpleasant complications mean that our concept of real numbers is based on a faulty definition, or even that the whole concept of real numbers is ill-defined.
This is an underlying theme of a lot of Cantor crankery, but it goes well beyond that. And the basic problem underlies a lot of bad mathematical arguments. The root of this particular problem comes from a confusion between the representation of a number, and that number itself. "\(frac{1}{2}\)" isn't a number: it's a notation that we understand refers to the number that you get by dividing one by two.
There's a similar form of looniness that you get from people who dislike the set-theoretic construction of numbers. In classic set theory, you can construct the set of integers by starting with the empty set, which is used as the representation of 0. Then the set containing the empty set is the value 1 - so 1 is represented as { 0 }. Then 2 is represented as { 1, 0 }; 3 as { 2, 1, 0}; and so on. (There are several variations of this, but this is the basic idea.) You'll see arguments from people who dislike this saying things like "This isn't a construction of the natural numbers, because you can take the intersection of 8 and 3, and set intersection is meaningless on numbers." The problem with that is the same as the problem with the notational crankery: the set theoretic construction doesn't say "the empty set is the value 0", it says "in a set theoretic construction, the empty set can be used as a representation of the number 0.
The particular version of this crankery that I'm going to focus on today is somewhat related to the inverse-19 loonies. If you recall their monument, the plaque talks about how their work was praised by a math professor by the name of Edgar Escultura. Well, it turns out that Escultura himself is a bit of a crank.
The specify manifestation of his crankery is this representational issue. But the root of it is really related to the discomfort that many people feel at some of the conclusions of modern math.
A lot of what we learned about math has turned out to be non-intuitive. There's Cantor, and Gödel, of course: there are lots of different sizes of infinities; and there are mathematical statements that are neither true nor false. And there are all sorts of related things - for example, the whole ideaof undescribable numbers. Undescribable numbers drive people nuts. An undescribable number is a number which has the property that there's absolutely no way that you can write it down, ever. Not that you can't write it in, say, base-10 decimals, but that you can't ever write down anything, in any form that uniquely describes it. And, it turns out, that the vast majority of numbers are undescribable.
This leads to the representational issue. Many people insist that if you can't represent a number, that number doesn't really exist. It's nothing but an artifact of an flawed definition. Therefore, by this argument, those numbers don't exist; the only reason that we think that they do is because the real numbers are ill-defined.
This kind of crackpottery isn't limited to stupid people. Professor Escultura isn't a moron - but he is a crackpot. What he's done is take the representational argument, and run with it. According to him, the only real numbers are numbers that are representable. What he proposes is very nearly a theory of computable numbers - but he tangles it up in the representational issue. And in a fascinatingly ironic turn-around, he takes the artifacts of representational limitations, and insists that they represent real mathematical phenomena - resulting in an ill-defined number theory as a way of correcting what he alleges is an ill-defined number theory.
His system is called the New Real Numbers.
In the New Real Numbers, which he notates as \(R^*\), the decimal notation is fundamental. The set of new real numbers consists exactly of the set of numbers with finite representations in decimal form. This leads to some astonishingly bizarre things. From his paper:
3) Then the inverse operation to multiplication called division; the result of dividing a decimal by another if it exists is called quotient provided the divisor is not zero. Only when the integral part of the devisor is not prime other than 2 or 5 is the quotient well defined. For example, 2/7 is ill defined because the quotient is not a terminating decimal (we interpret a fraction as division).
So 2/7ths is not a new real number: it's ill-defined. 1/3 isn't a real number: it's ill-defined.
4) Since a decimal is determined or well-defined by its digits, nonterminating decimals are ambiguous or ill-defined. Consequently, the notion irrational is ill-defined since we cannot cheeckd all its digits and verify if the digits of a nonterminaing decimal are periodic or nonperiodic.
After that last one, this isn't too surprising. But it's still absolutely amazing. The square root of two? Ill-defined: it doesn't really exist. e? Ill-defined, it doesn't exist. \(pi\)? Ill-defined, it doesn't really exist. All of those triangles, circles, everything that depends on e? They're all bullshit according to Escultura. Because if he can't write them down in a piece of paper in decimal notation in a finite amount of time, they don't exist.
Of course, this is entirely too ridiculous, so he backtracks a bit, and defines a non-terminating decimal number. His definition is quite peculiar. I can't say that I really follow it. I think this may be a language issue - Escultura isn't a native english speaker. I'm not sure which parts of this are crackpottery, which are linguistic struggles, and which are notational difficulties in reading math rendered as plain text.
5) Consider the sequence of decimals,
(d)^na_1a_2...a_k, n = 1, 2, ..., (1)
where d is any of the decimals, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ..., 0.9, a_1, ..., a_k, basic integers (not all 0 simultaneously). We call the nonstandard sequence (1) d-sequence and its nth term nth d-term. For fixed combination of d and the a_j's, j = 1, ..., k, in (1) the nth term is a terminating decimal and as n increases indefinitely it traces the tail digits of some nonterminating decimal and becomes smaller and smaller until we cannot see it anymore and indistinguishable from the tail digits of the other decimals (note that the nth d-term recedes to the right with increasing n by one decimal digit at a time). The sequence (1) is called nonstandard d-sequence since the nth term is not standard g-term; while it has standard limit (in the standard norm) which is 0 it is not a g-limit since it is not a decimal but it exists because it is well-defined by its nonstandard d-sequence. We call its nonstandard g-limit dark number and denote by d. Then we call its norm d-norm (standard distance from 0) which is d > 0. Moreover, while the nth term becomes smaller and smaller with indefinitely increasing n it is greater than 0 no matter how large n is so that if x is a decimal, 0 < d < x.
I think that what he's trying to say there is that a non-terminating decimal is a sequence of finite representations that approach a limit. So there's still no real infinite representations - instead, you've got an infinite sequence of finite representations, where each finite representation in the sequence can be generated from the previous one. This bit is why I said that this is nearly a theory of the computable numbers. Obviously, undescribable numbers can't exist in this theory, because you can't generate this sequence.
Where this really goes totally off the rails is that throughout this, he's working on the assumption that there's a one-to-one relationship between representations and numbers. That's what that "dark number" stuff is about. You see, in Escultura's system, 0.999999... is not equal to one. It's not a representational artifact. In Escultura's system, there are no representational artifacts: the representations are the numbers. The "dark number", which he notates as \(d^*\), is (1-0.99999999...) and \(d^* > 0\). In fact, \(d^*\) is the smallest number greater than 0. And you can generate a complete ordered enumeration of all of the new real numbers, \({0,
d^*, 2d^*, 3d^*, ..., n-2d^*, n-d^*, n, n+d^*, ...}\).
Reading Escultura, every once in a while, you might think he's joking. For example, he claims to have disproven Fermat's last theorem. Fermat's theorem says that for n>2, there are no integer solutions for the equation \(x^n + y^n = z^n\). Escultura says he's disproven this:
The exact solutions of Fermat's equation, which are the counterexamples to FLT, are given by the triples (x,y,z) = ((0.99...)10^T,d*,10^T), T = 1, 2, ..., that clearly satisfies Fermat's equation,
x^n + y^n = z^n, (4)
for n = NT > 2. Moreover, for k = 1, 2, ..., the triple (kx,ky,kz) also satisfies Fermat's equation. They are the countably infinite counterexamples to FLT that prove the conjecture false. One counterexample is, of course, sufficient to disprove a conjecture.
Even if you accept the reality of the notational artifact \(d^*\), this makes no sense: the point of Fermat's last theorem is that there are no integer solutions; \(d^*\) is not an integer; \((1-d^*)10\) is not an integer. Surely he's not that stupid. Surely he can't possibly believe that he's disproven Fermat using non-integer solutions? I mean, how is this different from just claiming that you can use (2, 3, 351/3) as a counterexample for n=3?
But... he's serious. He's serious enough that he's published published a real paper making the claim (albeit in crackpot journals, which are the only places that would accept this rubbish).
Anyway, jumping back for a moment... You can create a theory of numbers around this \(d^*\) rubbish. The problem is, it's not a particularly useful theory. Why? Because it breaks some of the fundamental properties that we expect numbers to have. The real numbers define a structure called a field, and a huge amount of what we really do with numbers is built on the fundamental properties of the field structure. One of the necessary properties of a field is that it has unique identity elements for addition and multiplication. If you don't have unique identities, then everything collapses.
So... Take \(frac{1}{9}\). That's the multiplicative inverse of 9. So, by definition, \(frac{1}{9}*9 = 1\) - the multiplicative identity.
In Escultura's theory, \(frac{1}{9}\) is a shorthand for the number that has a representation of 0.1111.... So, \(frac{1}{9}*9 = 0.1111....*9 = 0.9999... = (1-d^*)\). So \((1-d^*)\) is also a multiplicative identity. By a similar process, you can show that \(d^*\) itself must be the additive identity. So either \(d^* == 0\), or else you've lost the field structure, and with it, pretty much all of real number theory.

A rousing performance by the 4 x 800 meter relay team highlighted Mount St. Joseph Academy's appearance at 2012 Track and Field Championships for the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies. The Magic ended up fifth in the team standings, with 54 points.
MSJ juniors Adrienne Cellucci, Patricia Hoffman, and Meredith Reiche ran the first three legs of the relay and sophomore Alyssa Kist closed out the race with a winning time of nine minutes, 41.71 seconds, just ahead of traditional league power St. Basil's (9:42.96).
Cellucci and Hoffman also saw action in the 4 x 400, combining with senior number three Brooke Sabia and sophomore anchor Sarah Lynch to produce a third-place performance in 4:04.88.
Individually, Lynch won the high jump (5'0") and was runner-up in the 300 intermediate hurdles (47.50 seconds). The Magic got a one-two finish in the high jump thanks to junior Katie Gross (4'10"), while Hoffman placed second in the 1600 meters with a time of 5:18.67.
On the lacrosse pitch, the Mount closed out the regular season with a 17-7 non-league victory over West Chester's Bayard Rustin High School before moving on to the District 1 tournament. In the 32-team field for Districts, number 21 Mount St. Joe found themselves matched up with none other than their old league nemesis, 12th-seeded Merion Mercy Academy. The Magic battled to a halftime tie but eventually fell to the Golden Bears for the third time this season, 13-11.
Against Rustin, the Mount built up a 10-3 lead in the first period and then cruised to victory as sophomore Natalie Bohner banged in four goals. The winners got two goals apiece from five juniors: Emilee Ehret (four assists), Olivia Gannon (three assists), Dominique Nyzio (four draw controls), Marley Breslin, and Meg McCabe.
Another 11th-grader, goalie Alex Lista, had nine saves in the game, and she had the same number of stops against Merion last Tuesday in the opening round of the District 1 tourney. Here, there were scoring hat tricks for Ehret (eight draws), Gannon, and Nyzio, and La Salle-bound senior Burke Brabson scored twice and led the team in ground balls, with five. The first half ended in a 6-6 standoff, but Merion took control with a 4-0 surge to start the second period.
In regular Catholic Academies play, Merion was the undefeated league champion while the Mount and Villa Maria split their home-away series and tied for runner-up. The Magic and the Hurricanes each ended up 9-3 in the AACA, playing every team twice except for St. Basil. Mount St. Joe, in its first season under head coach Jen Duckenfield, finished with a 13-6 overall record that included a seven-game win streak in April.

10 Years Later: Junior Recalls Emotional Win
Before Dale Earnhardt Jr. could race again at Daytona International Speedway after his father died there 10 years ago, he had to check the place out, see if he'd be overwhelmed, see if his cold memories there would consume him. The week before NASCAR returned to Daytona for the first time after the 2001 Daytona 500, he took some friends there, in part to show them the place but also to see how he felt. Like a man going ice fishing who isn't sure if the ice is thick enough to hold him, he stepped gingerly onto the grounds. The ice didn't crack. He didn't sink. He felt good. He found he still liked the place.
He didn't stay long. While he stopped by to see if he could handle being there, a security guard kicked him out. Ah, but he didn't care. He didn't need to hang out there, he needed to race there.
A few days later, he did -- and nobody could catch him. After that humble return, he climbed into a blistering fast car and won the 2001 Pepsi 400. Ten years later, it remains one of the most emotionally satisfying wins in NASCAR history.
No one could catch Junior
"After Earnhardt lost his life, everybody was just completely crushed," said Rusty Wallace, who finished seventh in that July race. "And then when his own son went back and won there, it was the shot heard around the world and was just an amazing story."
The story started in the days leading up to the race, as all eyes were on Junior and how he would react upon returning to NASCAR's most famous and important track. He tried to treat it like any other weekend, and that meant having a good time.
"Back then, the schedule was different," he said. "We always had the week off before, which was awesome. Me and my friends would rent a house. We'd take as many people as we could, fill a Suburban, and just have a blast."
Earnhardt and his buddies spent the week lounging on the beach during the day and hitting the clubs at night. When the time for the race came, he was ready. He had a fast car. He had his crew of friends and family. And he had a climb-in, drive-fast, let's-win-this-thing zest that endeared him to legions of fans.
"I thought it was funny that I had a skull-and-crossbones sticker on the dashboard," Earnhardt said. "Budweiser got mad because it symbolizes poison, and it was sitting next to their logo. It was just a decal someone gave to me on pit road. I put it on there and took off before someone told me to take it off. Tony [Eury] Jr. [the team's car chief] came in halfway through the race and told me Budweiser wasn't happy with it. They wanted me to pull it off. I said, 'I can't reach it. It's way too far.' "
Nobody in the race could reach him, either. He led 116 laps of 160; the only thing that threatened to keep him out of Victory Lane was a late caution. Several teams gambled and took two tires, which dropped Earnhardt from the lead to sixth with six laps left.
"I hadn't been behind people, so I didn't know how my car would pass," he said. "I knew how it would lead. But I didn't know how quickly I could get back to the lead, if six laps would be enough. So I was in panic mode when the green came out, trying to make up those spots. The car did a lot of amazing things in those few laps, making passes and runs, everything just fell in place, like it was meant to be."
Junior held the lead coming off of Turn 4 on the last lap. In today's NASCAR, because of the way the draft has changed, leading in Turn 4 would not guarantee a win. But teammate Michael Waltrip was in second place protecting him. And back then, the lead was the place to be coming off of Turn 4.
His win set off a raucous celebration in the stands, in the infield and in Victory Lane, though the latter was delayed.
"I wasn't in any big hurry to go to Victory Lane and do the hat dance," Earnhardt said. "So I pulled into the infield. I knew my team would run out there. Michael came down there, and his team came down there."
'It felt good to feel good'
One of the enduring images from the night is Earnhardt and Waltrip standing on Waltrip's car. When the celebration moved to Victory Lane, Earnhardt was joined by his buddies and NASCAR officials, including NASCAR president Mike Helton, who five months earlier had announced the death of the father of the young man he now found himself celebrating beside.
"It felt good," Helton said. "And it felt good to feel good."
Ten years later, much of the Victory Lane celebration is a blur for Junior. His favorite part of the whole weekend came later that night ... or perhaps it was very early the next morning.
"For whatever reason, we decided not to be in a hurry to get home," he said. "So after the race we were standing around in the bus lot, drinking beers. I wasn't really taking huge stock in everybody who was there. But I knew my friends were there, and there were a couple people from my team, and a couple random bus drivers and whatnot. I had been standing there 10 minutes and I look to my right, and right next to me was Dale Jarrett, drinking a beer. I looked over and said, 'What are you doing here?'
"He said, 'I wouldn't miss this for the world, having a beer with you guys after that race.'
"That was the best part of the whole deal. At that point, I was still real young. You don't know how people perceive you. You don't know what other drivers think about you. For him to join in on the tiny little celebration we had going there, meant a lot to me. It was a hell of a gesture. I really gained a ton of respect for him. I leaned on him a bunch after that the rest of my career. When I needed to know something, he's one of the guys I went to immediately."
Meanwhile, fans poured out of the speedway, amazed at what they had just witnessed.
"It was an incredible turn of events," said Brian France, who at the time was executive vice president of NASCAR and now is its chairman and CEO. "It actually felt like, even though it was impossible to get, a little bit of closure from the tragedy that had just happened. It gave everybody a great feeling, that's for sure. The emotions of the fans leaving that night was one for the ages."
And it wasn't just fans. It is one of the few races in which other competitors have openly admitted they are glad someone else won.
"I was invited on a trip with several owners, and we went on it right after that race, and that was all they talked about," Wallace said. "They were so excited that he had won that race on the track where his father lost his life."
Ten years later
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has changed tremendously since that race. He was a young man finding his way then, still reeling from the public death of his father. He's fully grown now, as a driver, personality and icon of the sport. That win helped him rise to become NASCAR's most popular driver, a title he has held despite titanic struggles in recent seasons. He nearly won the championship in 2004 but has not been a factor since.
He joined Hendrick Motorsports before the 2008 season, but he has won only one points race driving the best cars in the industry, and a fuel-mileage one at that. He has morphed from a driver overflowing with climb-in, drive-fast, let's-win-this-thing zest to one numbed by climb-in, no-chance, this-thing's-slow uncertainty.
But in recent weeks he has shown glimpses of that old Dale Jr. He has run up front, come close to winning a few races and is flashing confidence he hasn't shown in years. A win on Saturday night -- which would end a 109-race winless streak and is a real possibility -- would go a long way toward bringing the old Dale Jr. completely back, or at least as completely back as he's ever going to get.

Masterson battles to earn elusive win

CLEVELAND -- The Indians traded big-time offense for big-time outs, making it back-to-back wins over the White Sox.
Justin Masterson kept the White Sox off the scoreboard, and his bullpen and defense backed him up as the Tribe shut out Chicago, 2-0, on Saturday.View Full Game Coverage
Masterson (1-1) went 7 1/3, giving up four hits and walking only one. He struck out six, but had to work hard for many of his outs. Masterson's ability to gut out tough at-bats as his pitch count mounted made the difference.
"I thought Masty did a good job in the middle innings when he wasn't really working ahead, the second time through the order," manager Terry Francona said. "He was kind of fighting it. He never gave in, but he executed pitches."
Masterson had good movement on his pitches, getting that elusive first victory of 2014.
"I was able to control it today, effectively wild at times," Masterson said. "I was able to make some quality pitches when we needed them."
Masterson dominated Chicago's right-handed hitters. The three left-handed White Sox hitters combined for three of the four hits Masterson allowed.
"I thought he kind of did what's he's supposed to against right-handers," Francona said.
Last time the White Sox faced Masterson, they had seven lefties in the lineup, but injuries kept manager Robin Ventura from repeating the strategy.
"You can't do it right now," Ventura said. "We are missing a few of them. He's tough on righties."
But the Tribe's ace -- a winner for the first time since Aug. 21, 2013 -- couldn't have gotten there without Nick Swisher's unassisted double play in the fifth and Cody Allen's three-pitch strikeout of Major League home run leader Jose Abreu.
The Tribe took an early lead in the second when Lonnie Chisenhall came home on Marcus Semien's fielding error, and in the fifth, Semien came to the plate with a chance to give Chicago its first lead of the series.
Before the fifth inning, Masterson faced just one batter over the minimum, erasing runners in the second and third.
Dayan Viciedo reached on Chisenhall's throwing error to open the fifth, and Masterson loaded the bases by walking Jordan Danks and hitting Tyler Flowers with a pitch.
Semien came into the box with Masterson reeling, hitting a hard liner toward first base that Swisher snared before doubling up Flowers at first.
"We gave them a couple extra outs, they got bases loaded," Francona said. "And Swish makes the play of the night. It really kind of energized us."
Rarely short on enthusiasm, Swisher carried the double play's momentum forward, hitting a sacrifice fly to score Jose Ramirez and put the Tribe up by two in the bottom of the frame.
"It's more excitement than anything, especially when you've got your horse going strong," Swisher said of turning two. "You want to keep him in that rhythm.
"Just in general, to be able to make that play, it's the first time I've really gotten off my feet this year. Tito's given [me] more space to work over there this year -- hyper guy like me, that's good."
Upstaging Swisher wasn't in Allen's mind in the eighth inning, but the way he shut down Abreu came close.
After Masterson allowed a leadoff single in the eighth, Gordon Beckham doubled off Allen to put runners in scoring position with Abreu and his 11 home runs coming up.
Allen threw three breaking balls to Abreu -- three swings, three misses, inning over.
"I wasn't giving him anything to hit," Allen said. "I can't throw more than one pitch at one time, so I just try to throw that pitch and get a result."
Masterson just shook his head.
"Ninety-mile-an-hour curveballs?" he said. "That's disgusting."
Allen has emerged as one of Francona's most reliable bullpen options.
"Cody came in, made some real good pitches against one of the best hitters in the game," Francona said. "He's quickly earned a lot of trust, and it's well-deserved. He just competes so well. … He can be a pretty good weapon."
Closer John Axford pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his ninth save.
Scott Carroll (1-1) took a hard-luck loss, saddled with two unearned runs. Cleveland scored on both White Sox errors, but Chicago didn't make the Tribe pay for either of their miscues.
Cleveland, which has beaten the White Sox eight straight times at Progressive Field, will go for the series sweep on Sunday.

Sometimes the things we appreciate most, remind us of our youth. This is true of Oury Mountain Grips. They have a long history of use for Motocross and BMX. If you grew up torn between mashing pedals or twisting a throttle grip, then having them on your mountain bike is akin to warping back in time to the days of old when you had fewer worries and nothing to do but have two-wheeled fun all day long.
Oury Mountain Grips have a blocked design that's as comfy as it gets in a round grip. Known for being durable, we think the basic design adds to their ability to last for years. The wide range of color choices is great for those who like to add some flair to their rides. Just try to remember to get home in time for dinner.

love these things
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a set on my mountain bike, my fixie, and my motorcycle. Super comfy, real grippy, and very durable. I am pretty hard on stuff (especially when on trails) and these are taking a ton of abuse. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new set up grips!
Oury Grip Mountain Grip
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Classic styling and big comfort makes this grip hard to beat
Love them
I have used these grips on my bikes of all varieties and am always satisfied. They have are a bit bigger and have a good squish to them so your hands don't get tired. The color choices are great for bike customization.
Super Cush Beefy Grips
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I put these on my all mountain rig and love them. They are super grippy and comfy and retain grip and tackiness even in wet and muddy conditions. Added a nice dash of color in red to my black frame. Great Value for a slip on grip
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Super soft. Can't beat the price. Fits moto bars too.
My Go-To Grip
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Been rocking oury grips since I can remember. Sure they arent fancy lock-ons but they also dont cost thirty bucks.
I enjoy the chunkiness off these grips and they take a long time to wear through.
GRIP TIP: Spray a quick shot of hair spray in the grip. It will help the grip slide on and then when it dries it will keep your grips from spinning! Don't forget to cut a small hole in the end to allow it to dry though.
Soft Grip
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wonderfully comfortable grips. The size, grip, and tactile feel makes these my favorite grips. I ran Oury's on my motocross bikes for years and loved them then. I was surprised to find these for bicycles about a year ago. Why did I wait so long to try them again?
Oury Orange
Orange grips are the best.
Soooo Meaty
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great grips. I use them on two mountain bikes and one townie. They are fatter than most other grips and provide a great tacky hold, even for smaller hands. They're also a great way to add a splash of color to a bike.
Good so far.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are better than the stock grips on my Scott Scale Comp 29er. I think I'll really enjoy them once I have a few rides in.
These grips have really worked out. The ends are susceptible to wear through. I filed my handle bars down a bit to remove rough edges before installation but they are still cutting through the grips a bit. That is the only detractor, purely cosmetic.
Solid Grips
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used these for years, I find them to be the best grips out there. Cushie and tacky they keep your hands from getting tired like a smaller would.
Safest grips
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Comfortable safe grip for your mountain bike. Before I used these grips I used another brand with a separate end cap. After a simple crash I ended up with a gash on my nose and now a very nice scar. So now all my flat bar bikes use these Oury grips for comfort AND safety.
Super cush
These grips are cushy. For the price point, they are great. They do provide a large grip diameter though, so if you have smaller hands - I'd look elsewhere.
Nice on the palms.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used these to replace some lock on type grips. They go on super easy with some hairspray and stay put even when I am wrenching on them while climbing. They are definitely wider around and have more padding then most grips I have used which makes them nice and comfy.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So nice, wish I could give these 6 stars. Hands down the best grips I have used, super comfortable while still giving a good connected feel. Appreciate the rad color offerings. I used some 3M weatherstrip adhesive to keep them in place, I think depending on your handlebars they can move around a little if you just slide them on or use the soapy water method. One tip - install some cheap plastic bar plugs before placing these as the handle bar edge cuts through the rubber over time if you end up occasionally laying the bike down.
The Cushiest.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used The Oury Grips for many years, and always come back to them after trying other things. The product and packaging stays the same, right down to the hologram sticker included with every pair. With lock-on and dual-compound grips my hands always end up sitting on the harder material on either end of the grip. The thick adn soft material of these single-compound grops stick to the bar and grips great. Of course, the soft material means that they tear more easily, and that the grime will stick to them. They clean easily with citrus solvent.

The Oct. 16 roll out of the new Xbox 360 dashboard was a little confusing for Microsoft's customers. Some people were able to download the update immediately, while others were forced to wait. "To ensure a stable release, this will be a gradual deployment across subscribers and regions over the course of the next week," said Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb. The wait's over. Microsoft made Tuesday the final release roll out for the new Xbox 360 dashboard for all.
Just to recap what's new in this package, there's a new layout for the dashboard, which is now customizable thanks to "Pinning," a tool for marking which apps you most want on the front page. Zune Video has also officially been changed to Xbox Video, and the Bing-fueled Xbox 360 version of Internet Explorer is in as well. All of these new features are really secondary to the real role of the new interface, which is creating greater parity between Microsoft's home entertainment business and its PC business which is undergoing a major overhaul with the Friday release of Windows 8. Microsoft wants its products to be as broadly familiar, and idiosyncratic, as Apple's mobile and PC products.
There's a fly in the proverbial ointment, though. The update removes some features from the Xbox 360 that Microsoft was all too proud of just a few years ago, namely the Twitter and Facebook apps. A Microsoft rep told IGN last week that the company was "retiring the Facebook and Twitter apps" in order to "streamline" app functionality on Xbox 360.
On the one hand, those devoted apps aren't wholly necessary anymore thanks to the introduction of the Xbox version of Internet Explorer. This is still a television-based living room device, though, and tailored apps are guaranteed to be more usable than the basic web pages, no matter how streamlined the new console web browser is. So why remove the apps?
To better prepare Xbox users for a console that uses Windows 8. The Xbox 720 is said to use the greatly changed Windows platform, and since that's the case, Microsoft will naturally want Xbox users to leverage Windows 8's patented "People" app for social networking rather than individually branded apps. That will presumably help strengthen the Windows ecosystem for users. Whether that will work depends entirely on how users cotton to Windows 8 on PCs first. If Microsoft's new OS is met with the same sort of scorn as past refreshes like Windows Vista, it may have to reconsider these changes.

We are android app developer base in Malaysia and Singapore that provide android app development for individuals and companies. As one of the leading mobile operating systems around, Android has become the springboard for much advancement in mobile technology in recent history.
Android is developed by Google and is based on Linux kernel. The main marketing target of Android includes tablets and smartphones. The increasing popularity of this operating system has cast more light on the importance and position of Android app developers.
An android developer in this field should make a host of varying considerations in the development process. The application's compatibility across multiple platforms is one of these considerations. Seeing that Android is the master puppeteer of many different devices in the market, an app developer should make sure about this so-called compatibility. There are a number of practices and patterns in regards to Android, in which the app developer should be highly well-versed.
The Android App Developer Malaysia should have a solid mastery over Android SDK and different versions of Android (if you have used different versions, you probably agree how important a knowledge of different version is to the occupational life of a developer in the field). In order to connect Android apps to back-end services, the developer should be well-experienced in working with RESTful APIs.
In the development process, the developer should have display a rich understanding of performance tuning, offline storage and threading. One other important item on the agenda is familiarity with the open-source Android ecosystem. The developer should follow the latest in technology in order to provide the best service possible. The development of Android applications requires working with push notifications and cloud message APIs as well.
Also critical in a developer's career is his familiarity with code versioning tools including Git. Our company hosts a well-experienced and highly talented team of Android application developers. They come from a background of app development in various fields. This is why they can meet clients' demands and requirements from different natures.
In order to win a position in this team, we hold long and serious interviews in order to make sure Android Developer are able to carry our reputation in the best possible manner.
We can guarantee that our Android app team is able to translate designs into high-quality codes, leading to robust and highly-adaptive Android apps. What matters in the quality of an Android app is a combination of responsiveness, performance and usability. The app should welcome possible later modifications and updates. Our developers make sure that the app introduced features the mentioned items.
They also remain available for 'post-sales' support and services, making sure our clients are quite comfortable working with the application. The development process includes intense sessions of bottleneck correction and bug fixing. So once the app is introduced, the developers should be quite satisfied with the result, while being ready to take action if needed later on.
A good Android Developer Malaysia comes from long hours of collaboration in a team whose members are well-aware of Android practices, such as Android UI design principles. Our team is one of the groups of this kind.
