Some Romanian MPs want to change the law to allow them to cut down forests across Romania for, well it’s obvious, money.

The full story (in Romanian) is here.

So, if you wish to tell the MPs what your opinion about this is, you can find their e-mail addresses here.

Recently I had to update my $PATH variable in order to put “/usr/local/bin” before “/usr/bin”, as indicated by Homebrew doctor.

In order to do this on Mac OS X (Lion+):

1. vim ~/.bash_profile
2. Add the following at the end of the file:
   # Setting PATH for Homebrew
PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}:/usr/local/sbin"
export PATH

Here are a few points I’ve used to familiarise myself, fairly quick, with how to choose a badminton racket, for beginners:

• Weight
  Do not exceed 100g. Weight is indicated by 1-4U (with 1U being the heaviest). Choose a weight of 85-90g for a control racket.
• Balance point
  The recommended balance point is 275-280mm with a lower balance point, i.e. the racket’s head feels lighter.
• Flexibility
  Choose a flexible racket (for beginners) as opposed to a stiff racket (for advanced players).
• Brand
  Choose one of the following brands: Head, Carlton, Ashaway, Wilson, Karakal.
• Price
  It’s up to you how much you want to spend.

N.B. The rackets should be no more than 680mm in length and 230mm in width.
