CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Illinois sophomore placekicker Mike Cklamovski turned down a dozen offers to play college soccer, he said, instead heeding the advice of former Big Ten Conference kickers who just happened to be his uncles.
Illinois sophomore placekicker Mike Cklamovski turned down a dozen offers to play college soccer, he said, instead heeding the advice of former Big Ten Conference kickers who just happened to be his uncles. Vlade Janakievski arrived as a soccer walk-on at Ohio State in 1977, but he's now a member of the school's all-time dream team. Pete Stoyanovich had a 12-year NFL career after his days at Indiana. Imagine the reaction after Cklamovski informed the folks he would walk on for football rather than taking scholarship money in soccer. "Are you kidding?'' his parents asked him. When Illinois meets Missouri in the season opener Saturday (2:30 p.m., ESPN2) at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Cklamovski will handle the kickoff duty. The kickoff is more critical this season, since the ball is placed at the 30-yard line instead of the 35, presumably to create more excitement on the return. The Paul Bunyan of placekickers, the 6-foot-4, 242-pound Cklamovski showed he could consistently get the ball into the end zone during preseason camp. "He's a big guy,'' Illinois coach Ron Zook said. "When he gets his body behind it, he can kick it. I told him today that it would be windy Saturday. He looked at me and told me he wasn't worried about it. I don't know if he knew we're in a dome or not.'' That's placekicker humor, but it's no laughing matter when a kicker puts it into the end zone for a touchback rather than watching some speedster returning a short kickoff. Cklamovski played goalkeeper in prep and club soccer, receiving a scholarship offer from perennial college powerhouse New Mexico, he said. Cklamovski committed to play at Vanderbilt before the school dropped men's soccer, then he came to Illinois. "It's a lot different from being one of main guys on the team to coming out here, kicking off a couple times a game,'' said Cklamovski, who has worked as a summer Congressional intern. At Lyons Township High School in LaGrange -- where he handle the punts and kicks -- Cklamovski cut a deal with the football coach. "I was the biggest guy on the team, but I wasn't going to play any other position,'' said Cklamovski, who hit a 51-yard field goal as a senior. Cklamovski wants to take over as the Illini's field-goal kicker next season after senior Jason Reda ends his career. Cklamovski averaged 60.2 yards per kickoff last season in six attempts over four games. He had one touchback. "Last year, you could miss it and still kick it deep,'' he said. "This year, if you miss it and put it down to the goal line, it's coming back at you. I can kick touchbacks.'' JUICE ON NO. 7: Sophomore quarterback Juice Williams first wore No. 7 as a tribute to John Elway, then began to appreciate the athletic ability of Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Even though Vick pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges Monday before asking for forgiveness during a morning press conference, Williams is willing to give Vick another chance. "I'm still a Vick fan and love the excitement that he presents to the game,'' Williams said. "Hopefully he'll be back in a Falcons uniform. I don't model the negativity that professional athletes do now. I look up to him from an athletic standpoint. He just made a mistake. Hopefully, he'll bounce back from it.'' BACKCOURT SPOTS: With a shortage of shooting guards following the redshirt of junior Jamar Smith and academic questions over freshman Quinton Watkins, coach Bruce Weber must decide upon a starting lineup when the Illini play in a five-game exhibition tour in Canada that begins Friday. Weber has until Nov. 11 for the season opener, but he might play point guards Chester Frazier and Demetri McCamey together. Weber said it's about playing the best five, just like when Dee Brown, Deron Williams and Luther Head asked if they could fill a three-guard lineup. With Frazier and McCamey, "somebody has to make some shots,'' Weber said. "When Dee, Deron and Luther came to talk, I told them somebody has to guard the 3-pointer, somebody has to rebound. If (Frazier and McCamey) are our best, you have to play them. "Defensively, you're going to be pretty good. You have two guys who can pass the ball. If they go zone, do we have enough people to make shots?'' Weber said Frazier "had a good summer and feels good about himself'' after recovering from a string of injuries, including a knee sprain, during his freshman year last winter. McCamey dropped from 217 pounds to 205 and would like to get to 200. McCamey played last season between 205 and 210 pounds at Westchester St. Joseph. IN OTHER NEWS: Illinois sophomore wide receiver Chris James will undergo season-ending surgery to repair his injured right knee, Zook said. James suffered ligament damage in the team's first scrimmage during preseason camp. James has a redshirt year available. … South African Kevin Anderson, an NCAA semifinalist in singles tennis who led the Illini to an NCAA tournament runner-up finish in May, will forgo his senior year to play professionally. The reigning Big Ten player of the year also finished as the NCAA runner-up in doubles with teammate Ryan Rowe. … According to the National Collegiate Scouting Association, Illinois ranked 22nd among NCAA Division I universities based on student-athlete graduation rates, academic strength and athletic prowess. Illinois is in an group of less than 6 percent of colleges and universities to stand in the NCSA's Top 100. John Supinie can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fuel costs reduced by 29% and efficiency increased by 78%
Troy's Auto Care was founded in 1958 and provides vehicle repair and towing services in Troy, Michigan. The towing operation includes 21 vehicles – including 17 tow trucks, in addition to light service trucks and battery service vehicles.
With at least 15 drivers on the road at any one time, Troy Auto Care VP in charge of the towing operation, Donnie Hudson, knew he was busy. His greatest frustration was not knowing where his drivers were at any given time. 'Our old system had a lag of five to six minutes, so it was very difficult for us to know where our drivers actually were.' That lag time meant that it was often difficult for his team to accurately dispatch drivers, or provide ETAs for customers who were waiting.
With TomTom WEBFLEET, Troy Auto Care has reduced the average time it takes to dispatch a call to under two minutes – a savings of about 78 percent.
TomTom has also had a measurable effect on fuel consumption. 'When I didn't know where my drivers really were, we often sent one truck when another driver was much closer. In many cases, drivers were even crisscrossing, or driving right past each other, as they went to different jobs,' said Hudson. 'Now we can send the closest driver and we've reduced miles driven as a result.'
TomTom's real-time traffic and construction updates have also reduced drive time – and made ETAs far more accurate. 'Construction is a real issue in the Detroit area,' explained Hudson. 'TomTom's ability to direct our drivers to take surface streets or alternate routes when traffic is bad has been incredibly helpful.' As a result of these improvements on the road, Troy Auto Care has seen fuel consumption drop by 29 percent.

My sewing machine has been a hummin' this week also, making baby gifts and Halloween costumes. I also dug out a cute Buttermilk Basin Halloween stitchery pattern and whipped up a cute little hanging for my entry. I love the silly little ghost.
And it is finally chilly enough to wear my trusty red slippers that have been waiting patiently beside my bed all summer. You better believe I'll be enjoying some hot chocolate, wearing my slippers, and watching TV after my run tonight, tucked under a blanket. I LOVE Fall!

So cute! I made the cookie cuter/playdough things for B's class last year. We printed and used a chocolate scented edible playdough recipe. The kids loved them and the parents loved that it wasn't another sugary treat! I want to trick or treat at your house~ cute baggies! Where did you find the clear bags to put the loot in? Miss Crafty~ have a super afternoon and put your feet up in those perfect fall time red slippers for a bit, o.k.? L&H, Les

Oh I would much rather have my child receive stuff like this than all that candy. I live out in the country and never get treaters so I don't have to do anything which I miss.
Love your stitchery. I have been wanting to try this out. What is muslin? I looked at Michaels but all I saw was crosstitch material.

Written for the Carnival of Genealogy
. . . In keeping with the month of March being National Women's History Month, and March 8th being International Women's Day, the topic for the next edition of the Carnival of Genealogy will once again be: A Tribute to Women. Write a tribute to a woman on your family tree, a friend, a neighbor, or a historical female figure who has done something to impact your life. Or instead of writing, consider sharing a photo biography of one woman's life. Or create a scrapbook page dedicated to a woman you'd like to honor. For extra credit, sum up her life in a six-word biography.
|Esther Berge Johnson, burping her youngest daughter, Doris.
Leonard, Minnesota, 1920.
Esther was a quiet, kind, dutiful woman with dark hair and spectacles. Her father, Ole Benhardt Berge, immigrated from Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, when he was a small child. Her mother, Anna Marie (Mary) Slaan (or Slaaen), was born in a covered wagon as her family migrated from Coon Valley, Wisconsin to Chippewa County, Minnesota.
When my mother, Doris, was a girl, she attended community dances in rural Leonard, where it was always common for young women to dance with each other. Once when my mother danced with a paternal aunt, Cora Johnson, Cora happened to mention that my mother held herself stiffly just like Esther (my grandmother) had always done.
My aunt Phyllis recalled that after my mother was born, Esther would sit in a big rocker and nurse the baby, while Phyllis sat alongside in her own little rocker and attempted to nurse her doll. There were no memories of any talking... just peaceful togetherness in the silence of the two room farmhouse.
In another memory, Esther was standing in the pasture next to the family's farmhouse, holding little Doris in her arms. They watched as some of the neighbor's cows came sauntering over the rise toward her garden. My mother was only about a year old at the time, but she heard her mother say to someone: "Here, take her," as Esther handed her over to a visiting neighbor lady and began to shoo the cows away. Doris then watched with startled interest as her father, Ernest, came stomping over the rise and proceeded to scold his wife vividly: "Don't you ever do that again!" It was her father's uncharacteristic shouting that cemented the memory for little Doris. Ernest had been afraid that by shooing the cows, his wife would draw the attention of the bull that was nearby.
My mother was less than two years of age when Esther lost her battle with tuberculosis. When close to death, all of her sisters and brothers except Bennie Berge, who lived too far away, were summoned to attend her. Her parents owned an organ, which Esther had always been fond of playing. Her last request was that someone should play the organ so they could all sing hymns together.
On January 2, 1922, Esther died, leaving Ernest a young widower. The previous spring, Esther had planted a flowerbed inside a wagon wheel laid on its side by the house. The flowers continued to grow and bloom for some time after her death, reminding them all of the hundreds of things she used to do from day to day.
My grandmother's obituary was published in a Chippewa County, Minnesota newspaper [1]
Mrs. Esther Johnson died Monday, Jan. 2nd of an illness of long duration. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Berge of Maynard and has been home for the past several months when it was found that there was no hope for her recovery. The last days of her illness has [sic] been a trial both to the patient and to her loved ones and death came as a happy release from her suffering. She was ready for the summon, meeting it as bravely as she has endured her long months of sufferings. A brief obituary follows.
Mrs. Esther Johnson was born in the township of Leenthrop, on March 31, 1889, where she resided until at the age of two years, when her parents moved to the village of Maynard where they and children resided until in the spring of 1910. They then moved on to a farm in Clearwater County. On March 22, 1917 [she] was united in marriage to Mr. Ernest Johnson, to union of which two children were born, Phyllis, age four and Doris, age two. Deceased died at the home of her parents in Maynard Monday the 2nd at 12:45 p.m. at the age of 27 years, 9 months and 4 days. Besides parents of disceased [sic] four brothers amd five sisters live to mourn the loss of a dear sister; namely, George, Mabel, Cora, Mildred, Clarice and Stella of this village. Harry of Taylors Falls, Chester and Bennie of Ihlen.
The funeral was held Wednesday from the residence at one p.m. and at the Lutheran church at 2 o'clock. Rev. M. B. Erickson officiating. The News join[s] the friends of the Berge family in messages of condolences.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to those who so kindly offered us their consolation in our late bereavement, especially Rev. Erickson and the Lutheran Ladies Aid Society for the beautiful floral emblems.
Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Berge and family
O. M. Johnson and wife
Ernest Johnson
Thank you, Grandma, for caring for my mother, and for everything you did to start her and my aunt on the right path.

NASCAR - Trickle Down Technology - The Trickle Down Factor
The Nextel Cup boys aren't just fun to watch on Sundayafternoon--they're also footing the R&D bill for racing technology onits way to you
As the money and competition in the Nextel Cup Series have skyrocketedin recent years, the image of a Nextel Cup engine builder has changed.The old mechanic who learned about engines working in his daddy's garageis still there, but working right alongside him is a mechanical engineerwho spent his youth studying the laws of thermodynamics. It's adifferent world from the old days (Maurice Petty told us once that heused to scrounge junkyards looking for parts for Richard Petty's cars),but that's OK because that's what is needed to continue the pace ofinnovation.
Much of that innovation, however, doesn't come from insidethe engine shop but from outside sources. Many of the advancements inrace engine technology actually come from the parts manufacturersworking closely with the race teams to give them what they need. That'sthe good news for a Saturday night racer. After all, the last thing aNextel Cup team wants to do is pass along its discoveries to anyoneelse, but an innovative parts manufacturer can take what it learnsracing on the Nextel Cup level and use that knowledge to help everyonego a little faster.
To find out more about how high-end racing affectsthe little guy, we called up the folks at Comp Cams and asked afew personal questions. Comp Cams is a perfect example of thisphenomenon because the company produces a wide range of engine parts andis a big player in everything from Nextel Cup, to drag racing, toSaturday night stock cars, all the way to go-karts. Interestingly,there's a lot more going on than we originally thought.
Camshaft Technology
"When it comes to the camshafts, the demands of theNextel Cup and Indy Car teams that we work with required us to go togreat lengths to meet their specs," says Chris Brown, Comp's vicepresident of operations. "But once we figured out how to meet theirrequirements, it was relatively easy to continue those improvements toour other cams.
"The number one thing that we've done is have ourcamshaft design team work with every type of engine out there. We've gotthree cam designers, and instead of having them specialize in certaintypes of engines, they all work on everything from Nextel Cup, to TopFuel drag racing, to street cars, to oval track stock car racing. Theyeven do the cams for go-kart racing. That's really paid off for usbecause of the depth of knowledge that those guys have acquired. Theyunderstand what's happening inside an engine a lot more than somebodywho only has access to one style of engine. So now when they encounter aproblem for a Saturday night race engine, they can draw on theirexperiences with how drag racers or Nextel Cup racers solved a similarproblem.
"The upper-level guys are always raising the specs that theyneed for their products. That's why we acquired an Adcole machine thatchecks cam tolerances. But what happened was our guys on the manual camgrinders started using it to tune up their machines and methods for alltheir stuff. In the past couple of years, they have gone from having awindow on their duration specs from 0.5 to 0.75 of a degree down to 0.2to 0.25. Without having to tell them, their own pride in theirworkmanship has brought them down that path.
"We've also learned a lotabout surface finishes, what works best on a roller (cam) and what worksbest on a flat tappet. We've taken what we've learned frommicropolishing and used it to test different types of grinding stones sothat the stone itself leaves a different finish on the cam lobes. That'shelped us improve the lobe surface finish for guys that don't want to orcannot pay for micropolishing. All that stuff is directly related tosome of the high-end cams we have done for NASCAR teams because theyoften put a spec on the surface finish.
"Something that's prettyinteresting is one of the biggest advancements for the racer running aflat tappet cam didn't come from the NASCAR guys, but from working withan Indy Car team. When we first started working with Toyota's Indy Carprogram a few years ago, they said the cams had to be nitrided. And wesaid, 'What's nitriding?' "Nitriding improves the cam's surface finish,and as it turns out, it's not just good for Indy Car racing--it's alsohelpful in just about any flat tappet application. We're doing it on allour overhead cams, and it's made a big difference in the cams for the2300cc Ford motors. Those cams for the four-cylinder motors we used tocall boomerang cams because you could count on three out of four comingback. So much on those heads has to be just right or the cam will fail.It isn't the cam's fault, but that's what usually got the blame. Anyway,to make a long story short, we started nitriding the 2300 cams and wentfrom a 70 percent failure rate to a 2 percent failure rate in two years.The difference is just incredible, and it can be just as helpful in theV-8 stuff, too."
"Over the years we had two types of solid roller lifters--let'scall them better and best," Brown continues. "The NASCAR Busch and Truckteams used the 'best' lifters and the Saturday night racers used the'better' lifters. But the advantages of the best lifters have bled downuntil there's really not much difference between the two. There's no onebig thing that you can point to. It's really just different things welearned and applied to other lifters. These are things like changing thesize of the needle bearings in the roller to reduce the load on them,drilling oil holes in the body that inject pressurized oil directly intothe bearing assembly, and making the axles of tool steel rather thanmild steel. It's just a lot of little things that add up to make thelifter a more durable part with a longer life.
"The same thing hashappened with the hydraulic roller lifters. A lot of the road racers anddrag racers have to use them, and what we've learned there can be reallyhelpful to the Street Stock-type racer that is required to use astock-type hydraulic lifter. We've learned that by controlling thepushrod seat location in those things, we can get a lot better valvecontrol. We've gone from a tappet that maxed out at 6,000 rpm justbecause things got so out of control, to stuff we now are running at7,200 rpm. We restrict the amount of movement the pushrod seat hasinside the lifter. What that does is prevent it from depressing too farand getting enough hydraulic pressure behind it that it would expand thelocation of the pushrod seat, which would hold the valve open a littlelonger."
"Pushrods are no longer simply pencil-sized metal rods,"asserts Brown. "Now they are available in a variety of diameters andshapes with different wall thicknesses. That's because we've learnedthat pushrods are important for controlling harmonics as well as simplyproviding a connection between the lifter and the rocker arm. All thatstuff is directly related from extensive spintron testing. For example,the LS1 engine from the factory has a terrible problem with bending thepushrods if you over-rev it. Well, just by going from the factorypushrods to a one-piece pushrod with an 0.080 wall thickness, we'veeliminated those issues and gained about 500-700 (rpm) on the redline.The same thing is going on in race engines where you can add a littleweight to the pushrods and still gain a lot because you are getting ridof the bending and limiting the harmonics. As little as five years ago,racers were running 5/16-inch-diameter, 0.080 wall pushrods, and nowthey are using 7/16-inch-diameter pushrods. It looks like a Lincoln login there, but it works."
"The valvesprings are a pretty interesting area fordevelopment because the beehive-style springs are really catching on,"Brown says. "The first beehive spring we made was for a NASCARrestrictor-plate application, and now they are everywhere. We are alsousing an ovate wire spring where the wire itself is an oval shapeinstead of the conventional round cross section. The extra surface areaof the wire gives it extra strength without adding excess weight.
"Thebeehive shape also has a couple of advantages. First, because each coilis a different diameter than the one above and below it, they all havedifferent natural frequencies. They are more forgiving when it comes toharmonics than a conventionally shaped spring. Also, the smallerdiameter at the top means a smaller retainer is used, and that can savearound five grams per spring.
"The only problem with a beehive spring isyou cannot run an inner spring, which limits the maximum springpressure. That shouldn't be a problem for too long. In fact, it won't belong before we have a single ovate beehive spring that you can run on aSaturday night, 0.700-lift roller cam."
Distributor Gears
"Traditionally, the gears on the cam to turn thedistributor are cut with a machine called a hob," Brown states. "But todo a really good job, the hob needs a wide range of motion. That's notpossible with the distributor gears on a cam because they are sittingright next to a journal, which restricts the hob's access. We startedusing a second machine called a shaper after the hob, and that improvedthe quality of the ignition gears, but it still wasn't enough for theNASCAR guys. Ignition timing is critical to them because of the amountof time their engines spend at high rpm. They wanted to reduce the sparkscatter to practically nothing.
"Spark scatter is simply a variance inthe timing of the spark. Let's say you are running an engine at 9,000rpm and you put a timing light on it. When you look at the timing with atypical camshaft and distributor setup, it's going to be jumping allover with about five degrees of variance. Normally, it's the slack, orthe backlash, between the gears on the cam and the distributor shaftthat allows this variance in timing. One solution has been to press thedistributor gear into the cam gear so that there is no slack, but if thegear is the slightest bit out of concentricity, it will cause the wholething to bind up and kill the distributor gear.
"So we finally came upwith the idea for a Chevrolet cam to take the rear journal anddistributor gear off the cam and just leave a spud there. Then we canCNC-machine the cam gear to very tight tolerances and press it and thejournal back on. Now everything is located and the spark scatter isreduced to two degrees at most. Plus, you regain the ability to indexthe distributor gear in and out from the cam so that you can nail thebacklash perfectly."
So, What is Nitriding, Exactly?
Of all the innovations Brown pointed out, he said nitrided camshaftswill likely be one of the most helpful advancements for Saturday nightracers. For more information on nitriding and what it means to you, wespent a little time with Billy Godbold, one of Comp Cams' camshaftdesigners.
"Nitriding is best for racers using flat tappet camshaftsbecause it is only beneficial for reducing sliding friction," heexplains. "The biggest problem for a flat tappet cam is lobe failure.There is only so much lobe lift you can run before the lobe gets toopointy and it wears the nose out. There is only so much spring you canrun before it wears the nose out. And there is the velocity limit whenyou are running flat tappet lifters. All of those limits have to do withwear.
"Wear is even a problem in the limited lift classes. In thatsituation, you are trying to open the valve as quickly as possible, holdit near max lift for as long as possible, and then close the valve atthe last minute. What you wind up with is a cam lobe with corners onboth sides of the cam lobe, and it's those corners that can be damagedunder harsh conditions.
"So, what we really are trying to do is keepthose from wearing. There are two solutions that can decreasewear--increase the cam's hardness and increase its lubricity--andnitriding the cam does both things.
"The type of nitriding we use iscalled a plasma nitride. The other method is salt bath nitriding, butthat produces only a very thin case, sometimes less than 0.001 inch.Plasma nitriding can produce thick case depths, around 0.01 inch, whichis ten times the capability of a salt bath.
"What you are doing isputting the camshaft in a big vacuum vessel. You take most of the airout and pump in nitrogen. Then you put the camshaft and the walls of thecontainer to different potential, like across a battery. The nitrogencooks up to itself and forms needles. Those nitrogen needles are rapidlyaccelerated and then crashed into the surface of the camshaft. It's alot like shot-peening, except instead of shot you are bombarding thesurface of the cam with nitrogen, which imbeds itself into thematerial's atomic structure.
"Nitrogen behaves a lot like carbon. Itgives the cam a very hard, slick surface. It is almost like puttinglittle ball bearings along the surface of the cam lobes. This means thecamshaft is going to last much longer. Engine builders can go with moreaggressive lobes they couldn't use before, and you are going to decreasewear tremendously. It's not twice as long or three times as long for thetypical cam versus a nitrided cam; it's 10 or 12 times more life span.Getting a cam nitrided will cost around $150, but given the benefits, Ithink it's a very cost-efficient upgrade."

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 06, 2013
Paleo recipes for beginners are often very tough to find. There aren't a lot of people nowadays that are knowledgeable of the old, yet effective Paleo way of life. Giving the body natural and wholesome foods, the Paleo diet system ensures that no artificial substance can enter and harm the body. Preparing recipes that are exactly the same way for beginners is extremely difficult especially if you don't know which ingredients to put in. Joseph Sorbara has brought forth his famous Paleo Recipe Book which features more than 370 Paleo Recipes of Beginners.
The Paleo Recipe book is an amazing piece of content by the author. Introducing the Paleo Diet system so beautifully to the general public, the recipe book gets the message across with ease and efficacy. The recipes that are mentioned are made solely from "caveman" food items, but certainly do not lack in flavor or taste. As a matter of fact, with exquisite cuisine dishes made in the Paleo way, the book allows the readers to experience what it feels like to have regular food in a much better, Paleo way. In terms of Paleo Recipes for Beginners, each recipe is explained in great detail focusing on every minor aspect of the procedure. The readers are informed how to go about the cooking at every single phase. Even after that, if the reader faces a problem in making the recipe, there are a lot of pictures and illustrations that can aid. Also, when the readers get the recipe book for themselves, they also get access to a customer service helpline that can explain things which aren't mentioned in the book. Judging the way the recipe book is designed, nobody has to go for the helpline, and the book proves to be sufficient.
"I've tried making things as simple as possible, I'm sure people are going to love it," said Joseph Sorbara, author of the Paleo Recipe Book.
There are numerous reviews on the website of the Recipe Book that talk about the effectiveness that the delicious Paleo food brings about. A customer on http://bit.ly/UoUVLb, termed it to be "easy, effective, even loveable!" Reviews like this go on to show the amount of praise that the book has already received, in such short time after its release. Perhaps being one of a kind; there weren't many sources that beginners could turn to for some great Paleo recipes. An excellent book at a great price is surely what makes Paleo Recipe Book different.
Joseph Sorbara is the Author of The Paleo Recipe Book, which has been created to promote Paleo Diet for the betterment of the general public. Providing a safe and effective platform for health and fitness enthusiasts, the company provides the Paleo Recipe Book at affordable costs. More details can be found at : http://bit.ly/UoUVLb

Technology, quality and design form the cornerstones of over 20 years of history for the renowned car enhancement company TECHART Automobildesign from Leonberg-Höfingen. In 2009, the Magnum proved the outstanding performance by taking first place at the Tuner Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring race track. Equipped with the 550 bhp of the production vehicle, an aerokit and sports air suspension module, TECHART achieved the winning time of 1:16.939 for the first time in the heavyweight class. At the IAA 2009, TECHART is presenting the current generation of the Magnum, based on the Cayenne Turbo S, complete with increased performance and uncompromising comfort.
Performance increase
The performance package T2.2 increases the overall engine output to 680 hp (500 kW). The maximum torque increases to 900 Nm at 4.200 rpm. This produces some impressive results: from 0 to 100 in 4.2 seconds. From 0 to 200 in 14.5 seconds. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 308 km/h.
The Magnum exterior
Made entirely from high quality PUR-RIM material of original equipment manufacturer quality. The TECHART Magnum front apron confidently and powerfully emphasises the lines of this sports vehicle. Magnum fenders and sill panels create a fluid transition between the broad wheel arches. The air inlets supply the radiator and front brakes with optimal fresh air. The TECHART Magnum rear apron comes with an integrated diffuser. The two double-flow exhaust pipes of the TECHART stainless steel sports exhaust add a sporty touch to the striking rear of the vehicle. For sporty street use, the TECHART Sport air suspension module lowers the car body by 30 mm. The dynamic appearance is rounded off by the tyres: TECHART Formula and Formula II alloy wheel rims in a classic design from 21 to 23 inches.
The day driving light system
The multi-functional TECHART day driving light system gives the Magnum an unmistakeable external appearance. The LED system consists of a combination of day driving lighting, side lighting, parking lighting and indicator lights. The automatic adaptation of the light strength to the selected driving light setting and the dimming of the day driving light when the vehicle is turning to ensure that the indicator lights stand out are typical features of the system. The LED technology is also characterised by its increased life span and energy saving features.
The interior
TECHART meets the highest standards in comfort and individuality with the exclusive de Sede of Switzerland range of interiors.
The new de Sede Classic S line creates a sophisticated Magnum interior and stands for top quality TECHART made-to-order production. The de Sede name has been synonymous with elite seating, the finest quality leather and unique design for over 50 years. The air-conditioned seats are a new feature. The innovative TECHART system ensures that the seats and back rests have always a pleasant temperature. The revised seat design emphasises the sense of luxury sportiness.

Bruschetta and crostini? What's the difference?
They're both wildly popular, easy-to-make Italian appetizers of toasted bread with toppings.
However, when the sweet Shn of Mishmash! asked me about this a while back, I really had to think about it.
In my family, bruschetta was toasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil, tomatoes, and basil, while smaller slices of toasted bread with various toppings were called crostini.
I wanted to provide you with a more thorough explanation of the difference between the two, so I explained to Jeff that we needed to take a trip to Italy to conduct research for my blog. We were all packed to go until Bernanke cut the fed two more bits yesterday thereby dropping the dollar further against the Euro, quashing our plans. So instead I just Googled it.
Brushcetta, from the Italian "bruscare," which means "to roast over coals," refers to the bread, not the toppings. Rather large slices of bread are grilled, rubbed with garlic, then drizzled with olive oil. They are usually topped with tomatoes and basil, though other toppings from meats to vegetables can be used.
Crostini, "little toasts," are thinner, smaller slices of bread (usually from a baguette) that are always toasted then piled with various toppings, such as vegetables, savory spreads, and cheeses.
Honestly, technicalities beyond that just aren't important. If it's crispy bread toasted with olive oil and piled with savory toppings and cheese, just call it "irresistible." Then make some for the next party you're going to where everyone will love you for it.That's why I'm bringing my Roasted Pepper, Olive, and Brie Bruschetta (not crostini -- did you see the size of those bread slices?) to lovely Mansi's Game Night party. This is a fast, easy, and vegetarian recipe, which is just what Mansi wants. With garlicky roasted peppers, salty olives, and creamy Brie cheese, this is flavorful, classy bruschetta that takes 15 minutes to make.
What's your favorite way to make
bruschetta or crostini?
Roasted Pepper, Olive, and Brie Bruschetta
Print recipe only here.
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup minced cured olives, such as Kalamata and Cerignola
1 cup bottled roasted red and yellow peppers (thinly sliced or diced)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
8-10 ounces of soft Brie cheese, sliced, or 1 ounce per slice of bread
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
extra chopped fresh parsley, optional garnish
1 loaf of crusty Italian bread, such as Ciabatta sliced into 8-10 thick slices
1 whole garlic clove, paper removed
4-5 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per slice)
To toast the pinenuts, place in a dry skillet over medium heat. Gently shake the pan handle to ensure even toasting, for about 1 minute, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, olives, roasted peppers, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined. (This topping can be made up to a day or two in advance and placed in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before applying to bruschetta.)
Grill bread slices on an outdoor grill (or on a grill pan indoors, like I did) until lightly charred and crispy. You could also place them under the broiler. Rub each toasted slice with the raw garlic clove and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil.
While the bread is still warm, top with brie then olive mixture. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and extra chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
When I made this bruschetta, I served it with shrimp for added protein (and because Jeff loves shrimp). It makes a fast and easy mid-week dinner.
Serves 2
2 teaspoons olive oil
12-14 jumbo shrimp, deveined and cleaned
the juice of 1/2 a lemon (about 2 teaspoons)
season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once warm, add shrimp, and saute for 5-7 minutes, turning shrimp once or twice until opaque and crispy. When almost finished, season with lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place shrimp on a plate, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Chennai: The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) has crossed one more milestone -- sealing of the first 1,000-MW reactor pressure vessel, said a senior official on Tuesday.
"Two German technicians completed the sealing of the reactor pressure vessel on Friday. Now we are in the process of refixing and rewiring of the other systems located outside the vessel," the official, who did not want to be named, said.
According to him, the sealing of the Russian-built reactor pressure vessel is a major milestone in the project's progress.
India's atomic power plant operator Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) is setting up the project in Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district, around 650 kilometres from Chennai, with two Russian-made VVER 1,000-MW reactors.
The official said the next step in the project would be submitting reports to sectoral regulator Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). The AERB would in turn give the sanction for heating up of the systems, he said.
The regulator had given the nod to close the pressure vessel on October 20 post the loading of 163 enriched uranium fuel bundles.
According to the official, the machine to close the reactor pressure vessel is of German make and a technical team from that company has to operate the equipment.
Queried about the approximate time of the reactor going critical (starting of fission process), a NPCIL official said that it might not happen during the second week of this month as said earlier.
"AERB has to go through our reports and give its nod for starting the heating up process. Then tests have to be done and upon satisfaction, AERB would give its permission for reactor achieving criticality," he said.
AERB gave its nod to NPCIL to load 163 bundles of enriched uranium fuel in the first reactor in KNPP on September 18 after the operator complied with all the conditions laid down by the regulator in its August 10 sanction order.
NPCIL completed the fuel loading process October 2.
After the reactor is fuelled, activities to approach first criticality-starting fission chain reaction, for the first time in a reactor, will be taken up.
Closure of the reactor pressure vessel is the first step. Then the power generation will be gradually scaled up on AERB's permission, based on the results of various studies.
The nuclear power project is an outcome of an Inter-Governmental Agreement between India and the erstwhile Soviet Union in 1988. However, the construction began only in 2001.

And Caesar's spirit, raging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war,
— Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 1
If ever there was havoc in the boardroom of a health IT company, this is it. Over the last several days, chairman Phil Pead (bio still up for now), CFO William Davis and three board members unceremoniously and promptly departed the management team at Allscripts Healthcare (MDRX), a company which, it's hard to argue, otherwise seems to have been on a reasonable course for the past year or so.
By the way, this seems to have been as much an Eclipsys purge as a board purge, as all of the departing members were with the company, which Allscripts acquired in September 2010 with "a vision for a Connected Community of Health."
Within a few days, the Board announced that it had elected board member Dennis Chookaszian as Chairman. No word yet on which unlucky CFO will be hired to face the fires of investor displeasure over the stock's performance (see below).
It's bad enough when a chairman and three board members split — allegedly in support of now-ex chairman Phil Pead — but when your CFO leaves, a girl's gotta wonder whether financial improprieties will turn up later. Now, let's be clear, I'm not suggesting that there are ANY financial issues that I know of myself, directly, but it's never a nice thing to see Mr. CFO shove off so quickly.
What we do know is that Allscripts was slapped with a suit in 2009 alleging the company broke federal securities laws when it went live with the latest version of its EMR. Current CEO Glen Tullman and now departed CFO William Davis were named as defendents. The accusations in the 2009 suit seem to boil down to that Allscripts failed to let customers know that it couldn't afford to install its Touchworks 11 software properly on customer sites.
It gets even better
And now, even more fun. Perhaps to contribute to the gladiatorial atmosphere, one of Allscripts' largest shareholders demanded Monday April 30 that its chief executive Glen Tullman resign. (If I were Tullman I'd say "the heck with that," gather a group of investors and buy the darned thing out from under them. Mr. Tullman, go for it!)
Anyway, it seems that HealthCor Management LP, which owns about 5 percent of Allscripts outstanding shares, thinks execs have done a bad job building the value of the stock. The fund said the stock is "being valued well below any reasonable acquisition price," at its Friday close of $10.30. Other investors seem to agree with HealthCor, as the stock went up 7.73 percent to $11.10 at the close of trading on Monday April 30.
To make sure nobody panics, the company has hurriedly announced a $200 million stock repurchase plan, adding to a plan announced a year ago which still contains $148 million for repurchase. That should do something to keep the stock from careening down a greased slide.
Why, oh why?
Now, to the real question. Why the big shakeup in the boardroom at a time when EMR/EHR companies are extremely vulnerable to market shifts and missteps? I can't say I've found any concrete reason in my research, other than storied "differences of opinion over the direction of the company."
The financials, while they could probably be much stronger, aren't exactly pathetic. We've got a 5.1 percent profit margin, quarterly revenue growth year over year of 25.5 percent and a P/E (ttm, intraday) of 28.52. The only obvious disappointment is the big drop in share price, which fell nearly 50 percent over the last 52 weeks of trading.
And in a somewhat ironic twist, it seems that Allscripts is touting some variant of the software Eclipsys had (Touchworks) when it first ran into SEC trouble. Allscripts may not like the guys behind the technology, but it likes the technology for sure. (Actually, I'm eager to learn more what Allscripts is doing there — drop us a note on our contact us page if you have more information.)
P.S. In the view of your friend and mine Mr. HISTalk, "No matter what explanations are provided, the casual observer might conclude that Glen (Tullman) staged a coup that cost the company four board members and its CFO at the worst possible time." What do you think?

CARSON, CALIF. (MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2011) – LA Galaxy midfielder Chris
Birchall and forward Robbie Keane departed today for international duty
with Trinidad and Tobago and the Republic of Ireland, respectively. Both
players played in last night's Western Conference Championship win over
Real Salt Lake with Keane tallying a goal and an assist and Birchall
coming on in place of Chad Barrett midway through the second half.
While Birchall and Keane left today, Galaxy captain Landon Donovan has
elected to remain in Southern California to train with the Galaxy ahead
of MLS Cup against the Houston Dynamo on Sunday, November 20. Donovan
was originally included in the U.S. squad for the upcoming friendlies
with France (November 11) and Slovenia (November 15), though he was
scheduled to be released back to the Galaxy following the game against
France. Now that he has withdrawn from the U.S. squad, Donovan, who had
a goal and an assist in Sunday night's 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake, will
miss both matches, keeping him with the Galaxy throughout the club's
preparations for MLS Cup next week.
Keane traveled to Dublin today to join up with the Ireland National
Team ahead of their 2012 European Championship Play-Off games against
Estonia. Ireland and Estonia will play a two-game, aggregate goal series
with the winner earning a spot in the European Championships, which will
be played next summer in Poland and Ukraine. The first leg will be
played in Estonia on Friday with the return leg in Ireland on Tuesday.
Keane, who has 51 goals in 112 appearances for his country, played in
and started nine of Ireland's 10 qualifiers as they finished second in
Group B to qualify for the Play-Offs, scoring five times. He missed
their final game, at home against Armenia on October 11, after suffering
a left adductor strain in the previous game against Andorra. That injury
kept Keane out of action until the start of the MLS Cup Playoffs, with
Keane starting all three games for LA.
Trinidad and Tobago currently sit in second place in Group B of
CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying with a 3-1-0 record for nine points. That
leaves them one point behind Guyana, who are 3-0-1 for 10 points,
heading into the final group games. Birchall and the rest of the Soca
Warriors will play in Guyana on Friday, November 11 before hosting
Guyana in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Tuesday, November 15. If Trinidad
lose either of those games, they will be eliminated from contention for
a spot in the 2014 FIFA World Cup while two wins or a win and a draw
will see them finish atop the group and move on to the next stage of
CONCACAF qualifying.
Birchall has played in two of Trinidad's four games in qualifying so
far, helping them win at home against Bermuda on September 2 and then
away to Barbados four days later. For his career, he has four goals in
38 appearances for Trinidad and Tobago.
Both Birchall and Keane will return to Southern California following
their international matches and will rejoin the rest of the Galaxy squad
in training ahead of MLS Cup on Sunday, November 20 at The Home Depot

Hello VB6ers,
I am new to the forum and this is my first ever forum post. I have come to realise that because of the lack of support for VB6 from Microsoft it has become increasingly difficult tofind VB6 development careers. I am always looking to connect with good VB6 developers for all of the apparent imperfections it's a very widespread language with a talented cult following.
If you are looking for a career in VB6 in Ireland I would love to hear from you. My email address is ********* or follow me on Twitter @DavidLS7 or send me some contact details on the forum and I will do my best for you.
I have a question, what sort of talents define a good VB6 developer? Where is the best place to wuickly learn more about VB6 and what certification can I do look out for?

The US will redirect the bulk of its investment in civil surveillance technology next year into the production of devices it can deploy in its war on terror.
The US will have increased its investment in product development by three quarters, suggesting a four-year programme of investment in civil surveillance and counter-terror detection technologies, which has had an annual budget of $800m, is starting to pay off.
James DeCorpo, director of the Eurasia office of the US Department of Homeland Security, told UK civil surveillance industrialists yesterday that the department planned to "accelerate the development and deployment" of homeland security technologies.
The production and trial of prototype technologies was also being "accelerated", he said. These are described in the department as "high risk/high pay-off" technologies and "game changers" that have a five year development cycle, and on which the DHS will have spent five per cent of its budget this year, and it will spend more than double that - 11 per cent - in 2008.
Foremost among the proposed developments will be the Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST), which is nearing its first trial at US border posts. DeCorpo said FAST "will be looking at intent" of people crossing US border posts, by using cameras and algorithms to watch for behavioural attributes that might suggest someone should be examined more closely by the border police.
"From a psychological standpoint, people behave in certain ways when they are under stress. For example, one's nose gets cold when one is under stress. Facial muscles behave in different ways. While other scanners see through clothes and [examine] gait," said DeCorpo.
People would be given an easier ride through customs if their behaviour didn't raise the suspicion of the border patrol's intelligent cameras. The department has already deployed a system that tries to predict how likely people are to be a terrorist or member of an organised crime gang according to information stored about them in a variety of civil, commercial, and criminal databases. The Automated Targeting System categorises people according to levels of risk derived from this information.
Managed by Homeland Security Advanced Projects Agency (HSARPA), it will also nearly double its spending on turning prototypes into workable "products" for use by US border and anti-terrorist personnel. Spending here will have risen from 35 per cent to 60 per cent in 2008.
Most of the money will come from another area of its budget, which was being spent on developing interoperability standards for its civil security tech armoury. Fifty per cent of its budget is being spent here this year, but only 18 per cent in 2008.
The US, UK, and Europe have been trying to make sure their technologies can interoperate so they might one day form constituent parts of one vast civil security system.
The agency has apportioned its product development budget between the detection of explosives, chemical and biological weapons, and "human factors", the protection of borders and infrastructure, building command and control systems, and interoperability standards, and designing geophysical mapping systems. ®

Researchers have discovered at least two new pieces of malware in the wild that subject Mac users to advanced surveillance campaigns designed to surreptitiously siphon confidential data from their machines.
According to blog posts from Kaspersky and Sophos, malware identified as SabPub arrives in a booby-trapped Microsoft Word document that exploits a critical vulnerability that was patched three years ago. The APT, or advanced persistent threat, appears to have similarities to an espionage campaign that Ars reported last month, which targets employees of several pro-Tibetan non-governmental organizations. Kaspersky Lab Expert Costin Raiu said two new strains of SabPub are noteworthy because of their ability to stay hidden until now.
"SabPub is different from MaControl, another bot used in APT attacks in February 2012," Raiu wrote. "SabPub was more effective because it stayed undetected for more than 1.5 months."
The discovery comes a couple weeks after researchers from Kaspersky and other security firms confirmed a botnet of more than half a million Macs infected by the Flashback malware. Like SabPub, Flashback was effective because it hijacked machines without requiring the user to type an administrative password. Flashback achieved this coup by exploiting a vulnerability in the Java software framework that Oracle had patched earlier in 2012, but that Apple hadn't yet distributed to its end users. Meanwhile, the SabPub malware exploits a Word vulnerability that Microsoft patched in 2009, but that many people—particularly those using pirated versions of the application—haven't bothered to install.
Flashback is a piece of opportunistic malware that's designed to get installed on as many machines as possible so that its operators can profit from click fraud and similar scams. Now that Apple has released a Java patch and third-party software makers have issued detection and removal tools, the number of infected machines has reportedly plummeted.
The developers of SabPub, by contrast, are highly selective about those they target, since the malware is designed to download confidential documents relating to pro-Tibetan activities. Indeed, shortly after Kaspersky researchers infected a lab machine with SabPub, they witnessed someone manually checking it for material of interest. Researchers with antivirus provider ESET also witnessed manual intruders in their discovery last month of Mac-based APT software. Kaspersky said the command and control server their infected Macs reported to has been shut down.
The APT threat is using IP addresses that have been known to wage similar attacks on Windows users, Kaspersky said.

It was the same old story for the Sabres this week. Lack of scoring. Ask Lindy Ruff why the Sabres are on yet another winless streak and he will say "They aren't finishing." Ruff has been racking his brains all season in an attempt to get back the offensive explosiveness the Sabres displayed in their first two games. Nothing seems to be working.

GI charged in WikiLeaks case admits making noose
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) -- An Army private charged with leaking classified material to WikiLeaks said Friday that he tied a bedsheet into a noose while considering suicide during his pretrial confinement in Kuwait.
Pfc. Bradley Manning testified on the fourth day of a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade near Baltimore. Manning testified under cross-examination that he made the noose in Kuwait before he was moved to a Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va. He claims that his treatment later at Quantico was so harsh that the charges against him should be dismissed.
He arrived at Quantico classified as a suicide risk. Eight days later, he was upgraded to the less-restrictive "prevention of injury" status.
Manning maintains that neither designation was appropriate because he didn't feel like hurting himself after leaving Kuwait.
Under questioning by prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein, Manning said that upon arrival at Quantico in July 2010, he was told he would be processed into the brig as a suicide risk. He said he noted on his intake form that he had considered suicide.
He also wrote on the form that he was "always planning and never acting" upon suicidal thoughts.
In January 2011, after complaining about his custody classification, Manning met with a board of officers that made custody status recommendations. He said when he was asked about the statement on his intake form about planning and never acting, he told the board that he might have lied.
"I did say it might have been a sarcastic answer," Manning said. "I told them today, the end of January 2011, I'm not suicidal. I'm not trying to harm myself or anything like that."
The testimony marked the first time military prosecutors went face-to-face with Manning.
He spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since his May 2010 arrest, saying he got so used to leg irons and being locked up 23 hours a day that when he was finally transferred to medium-security confinement at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in April 2011, he felt uneasy moving freely around the cell block.
"There was the sense of, 'OK, I know they're going to put the hammer down on me soon,'" Manning said near the end of his five hours on the witness stand.
Besides being classified "maximum custody," Manning was subjected to additional restraints during his nine months at Quantico. Commanders maintained the extra restrictions despite repeated recommendations by brig psychiatrists that they be eased. They included scratchy, suicide-prevention bedding and sometimes having all his clothing, eyeglasses and reading material removed from his cell.
The military contends the treatment was proper.
At one point during his testimony Thursday, Manning donned a dark-green, suicide-prevention smock resembling an oversized tank top made of stiff, thick fabric. He said it was similar to one he was issued in March 2011, several days after Quantico jailers started requiring him to surrender all his clothing and eyeglasses each night as a suicide-prevention measure. This occurred after he told them -- out of frustration, he said -- that if he really wanted to hurt himself, he could have done so with his underwear waistband or flip-flops.
The 5-foot-3 soldier looked youthful in his dark-blue dress uniform, close-cropped hair and rimless eyeglasses. He was animated, often speaking in emphatic bursts, swiveling in the witness chair and gesturing with his hands.
Also Thursday, the military judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, accepted the terms under which Manning may plead guilty to eight of the 22 charges he faces. Coombs revealed the plea offer in early November, saying it would enable Manning to take responsibility for sending U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks.
Lind hasn't formally accepted the pleas but has indicated she will consider them at a hearing starting Dec. 10.
Under the offer, Manning would plead guilty to certain charges as violations of military regulations rather than as violations of federal espionage and computer security laws. The offenses would then carry maximum prison terms totaling 16 years rather than 72.
The pleas would include admissions that Manning sent WikiLeaks classified memos, Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, Guantanamo Bay prison records and a 2007 video clip of a U.S. helicopter crew gunning down 11 men later found to have included a Reuters news photographer and his driver. The video, titled "Collateral Murder" on WikiLeaks, garnered worldwide attention. The Pentagon concluded the troops acted appropriately during the attack, having mistaken the camera equipment for weapons.
The government could still prosecute Manning for all 22 counts he faces, including aiding the enemy. That offense carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Manning is accused of engineering the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history. Besides the video, he is charged with sending hundreds of thousands of classified Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010.

Wardrobes & chest of drawersBeautiful Baby Wardrobes And Chest Of Drawers | Italian Furniture
Wardrobes & chest of drawers
Some people think that, because of the temporary nature of baby furniture usage, then it is fine to look for inexpensive products. This may be an interesting way of thinking, because it is true that children grow up really quickly, but it is also true that it is very difficult to find products that are affordable but also safe, beautiful and made out of high-quality, eco-friendly materials. Our priority is, as always, to present and sell the best products, made for the safety and the well-being of your child. Especially when it comes to children, this is our main concern. Even so, we also think that our prices are reasonable and they are worth it for the health of your child.
In fact, parents must have extra care for the environment where their children live at such a delicate and young age. First of all, all our products are not toxic or hypoallergenic. They are strong and resistant, durable and reliable, but also easily transformable and delicate at the same time, because children love to engage with all the items they find in their room and you don't want them to hurt themselves with heavy objects. Also, kids are always on the move, and one feature that you may find very important is the ability of moving or changing the position of your pieces. All these characteristics stick to everyone of our products. The materials are all safe and perfect for your children's health, such as solid wood, water-based paints and so on. Another feature that children furniture should have is of course the appealing aspect, that would stimulate your child's fantasy and creativity.
It is really hard to say which products we like most among the many that we sell. We suggest you to check our our catalogue and see which is the best for your child's room and for the rest of your house, keeping in mind that there is not a best product in general, there is only the perfect one for you. So, if you are looking for a wardrobe or chest or drawers that would wow your baby, we do recommend the beautiful set by Gigi and Lele by Pali. It is decorated with some scenes where a giraffe talks to an elephant (ar at least, they seem quite friendly one to the other). This set may be the best if your priority is looking for a product that may trigger your kid's creativity, fantasy and imagination. If you are more into classical pieces of furniture, we do recommend the elegant but cute set called Glammy, still by Pali, which is available in a light, creamy white that will sooth your child and make them feel at ease.
Another one that may help your children feel like they're in a fairy tale is Smart Bosco still by Pali, where the simple design is decorated by the sweet depiction of a rabbit. There are also some solutions for more sober and sophisticated room, such as the beautiful and resistant Tulip by Pali, which is what you may want if you don't want to by a fancy, cartoon-figures-decorated piece that your child may want to get rid of as soon as they grow up a little. If you need any help with your choice please let us know. We will do our best to help you in this amazing moment of your life.

I think it would be better to have an images category in the anime that appear in the arc - meaning to combine the ones existent (IL, for example) into single categories (in this case, Indigo Leauge anime images). What do you think? Energy X ∞ 21:55, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

There's this thing--it's your 'name'
There's some double redirect issues. : / You for whatever reason like to change your name every like six months, and you've left a few double redirects behind while doing so. One of which is protected so users cannot tag it for deletion. Not like that matters considering you, or any other administrator who is "trusted" with a bot, could clean up some talk pages (and possibly other pages) that link to your pages: User talk:Jäzzi, User talk:BassJapas, and User:Jäzzi. I'd clean out the pages myself, but that would, per other things that I mentioned to you beforehand about why I am requesting bot assistance, make me give users unwanted messages. You for one as I know do not like unwanted messages, so quite frankly, I don't see what the big deal of popping open your bot for a spin really is. : D Happy editing.
