Luisa Beccaria took to the 1930s for a lovely, ladylike collection.
Dsquared² does denim well, but their attempts to broaden their horizons have been hit or miss just like this collection. It has some big bad misses, but it also has some lovely bright spots. I appreciate the risk taking and attempts to grow. I also liked the almost cartoon-ish nature of the sleek suits.

Project by Roz | posted 03-12-2013 02:24 AM | 4922 views | 0 times favorited | 13 comments |
I was asking to make something to turn a closet into gun storage and cleaning space. The house is very old; the walls are not straight or square and made of plaster. I could not anchor anything to the walls and the customer might want to do reloading from the bench. He did not want it fancy or expensive and did not need shelves or drawers. He did want to hold 21 guns.
So this is what I came up with. It is a reinforced box of ¾ inch AC with a vertical frame to support a board shaped to receive and hold gun barrels. The box has shelves but wasn't fancy.
The worktop is doubled to compensate for the stresses a reloading machine produces. I scribed and cut the worktop edges to conform closely to the wall surface. It is also covered by a layer of 1/8th inch hard board as a replaceable blotter, and that is topped with a wedge to stop the gun butts from sliding. The upper section holds 12 guns not 21. If needed, more gun storage can be added. If it has to be anchored it can be screwed to the floor. Most important of all, his wife liked it so he got to keep it.

I am replenishing my supply of ALU, and I found this review which in relative terms absolutely SLAMS the Lux. It is, however, dated 04/2003 and many of the strings the playtesters normally use are discontinued. More importantly, most of them are synthetics. I know it's likely your best selling poly along with RPM, but I would be interested to see how times have changed with the changes in the game. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Reviews/LALUSMR/LALUSMRReview.html
Can someone clarify what they mean by luxilon ice is deader and softer than grey. I was under the impression those are almost always opposites. Softer = livelier and stiffer = deader.
No they can't, because that description really does make zero sense. I've seen the video review which is exactly why I wanted a text review. The guy in the video isn't hitting with the RHS to get much out of ALU in the first place.
There's a funny exchange between some guy and Andy Gerst on that YouTube page :mrgreen: SummerOfGeorge97: Andy, that was one hell of a shot at 2:25. How much of that ability would you estimate was due to your mustache? Andy, TW: @SummerOfGeorge97, Honestly, I blacked out and didn't even remember doing it. As the mustache grew, it sometimes took over my brain, and forced me to do things I wouldn't normally do. Kind of like that Jim Carrey movie The Mask. That shot was one of those times.
Have you ever hit Polyfibre TCS? It is soft but dead. Soft doesn't always equate to elasticity. It can, however, lead to a higher launch angle which may give the player more depth (loopier shot) until he/she makes the adjustment. Chris, TW
Pleeeease? Updated written review of ALU? It doesn't really matter for me since I need to stock it anyway, hence me buying a mini-reel from you a day ago haha
pvaudio, The written review is being edited. I can't give you a time frame, unfortunately, but it is coming. Tiffani, TW
I'm sure you realize this, but for anyone that may not, the old review is the USRSA 2003 review, not done by TW. I do look forward to TW's written review. I'm currently testing ALU in my usual gut/poly setup and tension (all things the same except for ALU, same tension, stick, etc). It is definitely a confidence boosting string; all control. Tension loss isn't too terrible as a cross.
Yep that's exactly why I requested it. It wasn't their review which isn't consistent with the reviews of their current top end strings.

Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
The Cooper Cottage was built in 1906, has been in the Cooper family since 1941 and features a stone fireplace built by Richard Cooper and his father, Herbert. It also has an enclosed porch that looks out over the water, with Chaumont Bay on one side and Guffins Bay on the other, the view is just spectacular! Newly remodeled, this wheelchair accessible, two bedroom cottage sits just feet from Lake Ontario. With all the amenities of home, all you need to do is sit back and relax and enjoy the view.
The property was exactly as described and fully furnished. The location is close to everything in the region we wanted to do. It would be an ideal place to spend the week at while fishing on the bay.
Cooper's Cottage is a very nice, affordable summer cottage rental. The cottage is located at the tip of Pt Salubrious and has an outstanding view of Cherry Island and the surrounding bays. The area is very quiet at night and has an enjoyable view of the sunrise and sunset.
The camp sits right on the water with a stunning view of Chaumont Bay. The cottage itself was clean and fully equipped, with a grill, full kitchen, and TV/VCR (with a nice collection of movies available). The bedrooms were comfortable. While the dock was not in the water yet, the state boat launch was a few minutes down the road, so access to the water is definitely not a problem. And for those interested in fishing, the cottage sits right in a great fishing area. I would definitely return.
Had a great vacation with the family. Cottage was super clean and comfortable. Great waterfront location. Close to town of Chaumont. Kids and our dog had a blast swimming out back. Carolyn is super nice to deal with, No headaches or worries just be ready for relaxing lake front living!
Our week-long stay in this cozy cottage in August was indeed one of the most relaxing vacations that we've had in years! Carolyn met us upon our arrival and gave us a warm welcome into her family's cottage where we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was so peaceful and and the view of the bays is splendid! We loved hearing the gentle waves from the bedroom window and sipping our morning coffee on the bright screened in porch. Spotting some Great Blue Herons was a thrill! The location is ideal ~ very scenic short ride into town to enjoy either the Blue Heron, Wise Guys, or an ice cream at the Duck Stop. If you want to head out for some additional adventure and scenic spots: Cape Vincent, Clayton, and Watertown are all 20-30 minutes away. We especially enjoyed visiting Long Point State Park. An added bonus was being able to have our family pet, Angel, with us. We highly recommend a stay at this delightful retreat!
We had a great time, it was hard to leave. We really enjoyed the water, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, snorkeling and paddle boarding. We also enjoyed the vintage touches throughout the cottage. The owner was very welcoming as were the neighbors.

Sandy's Effects Linger for Many Residents [SERIES/POLL]
In the fifth and final part of our week-long series Sandy: Then and Now, the storm's lingering effects are still felt by some residents, while others admit they've already put it behind them.
In the fifth and final part of our week-long series Sandy: Then and Now, the storm's lingering effects are still felt by some residents, while others admit they've already put it behind them.
A fourth grade teacher from Ortley Beach, who has spent the last 29 years at the Hugh J. Boyd Elementary School in Seaside Heights, is getting national attention as one of People Magazine's Teacher's of the Year.
You have probably heard that old saying "the check is in the mail," right? Well, for Ocean County waiting for that Superstorm Sandy relief money, their patience is growing rather thin.
The Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund has partnered with Jersey Cares to mobilize 5,000 volunteers in meaningful service projects to continue clean-up and rebuilding efforts throughout Atlantic, Monmouth, Ocean and Bergen Counties on the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Here's how to partner with thousands of your neighbors on Sandy Service Day!
With all of the federal and state funding for Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey residents will still be left paying between $8 billion and $13 billion out-of-pocket for rebuilding, according to a report from U.S. Strong, which calls for the establishment of an Extreme Weather Relief Fund.
This Saturday's Shark Run 5K in Bay Head is a very special one. Proceeds rom the event will go toward rebuilding the parts of the school devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
It's been nearly a year since Hurricane Sandy devastated the New Jersey coastline and left countless families with deep emotional scars, including many children who are just now starting to scratch the surface of their feelings in the aftermath of the disaster.
Amidst a decision by the Governor to declare an Executive Order allowing the construction of dunes on property even where easements weren't signed, and the state's decision to award a one dollar settlement to the Harvey Cedars couple who sued over obstructed views, the attorney for the couple says both rulings will not deter his clients.
Phone companies in New Jersey eager to replace traditional copper lines with wireless systems will have to wait until the kinks are worked out if a bill proposed by Central Jersey Assemblyman Daniel Benson is passed.
Over 50 businesses remain charred to bits after this month's fire on the Seaside Boardwalk, however, more questions remain about the circumstances which caused the fire.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and business owners at the Jersey Shore did and are doing all they can to convince people that the state is "Stronger than the Storm," but it's not working as well as they would have liked.
This weekend summer 2013 will officially slip into our memories and it certainly will be a summer we'll never forget.

Rio Ceballos
Rio Ceballos, day of horse riding. Having only rode 1 horse in my life, I was a little nervous as the gauchos over here have a reputation of not having much tolerance for beginners. I was pleasantly surprised as the whole group was beginners with little or no experience of riding. I was given a grey horse called Sal, she has a great temperament very laid back and only wanted to canter when she really wanted to. I can see myself being reincarnated as Sal. We rode for a couple of ...

Rio Ceballos is a 6500 acre farm owned by a Argentinian family who's family emigrated to Argentina from Scotland over 110 years ago. Had a afternoon tea with the owner, before a wine tasting evening and a BBQ. Tomorrow going riding with the gauchos, hopefully I will get a nice and timid horse for the ...

Orange County Rescue Mission seeks 'urgent' donations for summer camp
The Orange County Rescue Mission is seeking community donations to ensure that an annual summer camp for homeless children takes place this year.
The Summer to Remember program, which hosts 30 homeless kids, has received one $12,000 donation so far, said Jim Palmer, president of the Rescue Mission. The camp, which runs Monday to Aug. 29, costs $25,000 to stage.
Started in 2010, the Summer to Remember program includes 10 weeks of "learning camps" in math, arts and theater, reading and music. It's for kids ages 5 to 13 who live at the Village of Hope, the Rescue Mission's transitional housing for homeless people.
"Statistically, children in that age group, coming out of homelessness, have twice the likelihood of learning disabilities, repeating a grade level and issues with following through on homework," Palmer said.
Without enough donations, the summer camp will not happen, Palmer said. In previous years it's been funded with the help of local families and foundations. The hope is that others will match the recent $12,000 donation made by one foundation, Palmer said.
"For some reason, we've seen in the month of May overall (that) giving had gone down," Palmer said. "We're not sure why."
Volunteers from Concordia University lead the curriculum for the camp, which is held on-site at the Village of Hope. One week is held off-campus at Concordia, where kids will learn from faculty and students. Campers will also get swimming lessons and go on field trips to the Discovery Science Center, the Santa Ana Zoo, the beach and other spots.
Currently 89 children live at the Village of Hope in Tustin with their parents, making up 43 percent of the total population, according to Palmer. Usually, the summer program is already funded in the three months before it begins, Palmer said.
For information about the Summer to Remember program, call 714-247-4300 or visit rescuemission.org.

The Complete Solution for Color Lifecycle Management
Presented by Tom Stutts, Datacolor
Brands and retailers are faced with numerous challenges in trying to effectively manage their supply chain. One of these challenges is the management of color. Without accurate color lifecycle management, companies may experience extended development calendars, delayed shipments and a reduction in the bottom line.
Datacolor has provided expertise and proven color management technology around the world for more than 30 years. Datacolor Spectrum is an integrated suite of color management technologies that provides color lifecycle management throughout your supply chain.
During this discussion, we will focus on innovative technologies in color lifecycle management that will help companies ensure consistent color quality, reduce the cost of production and accelerate their products' speed to market. These solutions solve your color challenges throughout the supply chain resulting in an increase in your bottom line.
Color Lifecycle Management + Product Lifecycle Management
Presented by Matt Fowler, Datacolor
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) holds the promise of seamless connectivity from product concept, development, through to sourcing and distribution. Likewise, Color Lifecycle Management (CLM) provides digital color specification and communication along the supply chain to bring the right color at the right time from the mind of the designer to the market. Both technologies offer tangible solutions to retail and brand companies seeking to streamline their product cycles. This presentation will examine the common interfaces between color and product development processes and show how even relatively simple integrations between CLM and PLM can bring much needed benefit and value to the implementer.
FastFit: The SaaS solution for Fast Fashion

Today's technology allows users to develop patterns that are balanced before the first real sample is produced and students today are poised to use it and revolutionize the industry.
Developing A Strategic 'Fit' Plan
Presented by Edward A. Gribbin, Alvanon Inc.
Tracking industry best practices and proven, real-world strategies, we will explore how a brand or retailer can build 'fit' into a long-term competitive advantage by developing and executing a Strategic 'Fit' Plan.
We will examine who owns, or should "own" fit; the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for fit from designers to merchants to production to vendors; the differences between technical fit, aesthetic fit, and the customer's fit; how to achieve consistent execution and compliance with fit standards throughout the supply chain; how to educate, communicate and market fit; and how industry leaders in all segments are tapping into fit to build sales, market share, customer loyalty, and competitive advantage.
Source Tagging & Implementing Item Level RFID at the Point of Manufacture
Presented by Mark Thomas, Avery Dennison
The largest benefits of radio frequency identification are achieved when apparel and footwear items can be tagged at the point of manufacture. But there are many issues to consider when tagging at the source.
When Great Product + Great Price = No Sale
Presented by Scott Oldham, Blue Fox Porini
Your company makes wonderful products that you sell for excellent prices. That's great, but it's not good enough to guarantee that you'll get the big orders. Today, retailers look at their suppliers as their partners and expect you to keep in step with them throughout the hectic, last-minute-changing process we call the product lifecycle. Big retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and others offer portals to their partners to communicate design and production information through, but it's up to you to offer the same level of communication back to your customers. Since retailers keep score of how well you communicate with them and then choose which suppliers to work with based on their score, your business truly depends on you stepping up your efforts.
In this open-forum styled session, we'll examine various ways to help strengthen your company's value to your customers. We'll discuss the methods and practices of collaborative and proactive communication, ways to shed light into the black hole of import management and help you develop strategies to stay on course, on time and on margin.
Beyond Collaboration: Synchronizing the Product Development, Sourcing and Production Processes
Presented by Adikus Sulpizi, Business Management Systems Inc.
As apparel companies work diligently to remove time and cost from every aspect of the product lifecycle, many are recognizing the benefits of fostering greater collaboration and visibility between their product development, sourcing, and vendor activities. In today's fast-paced, global business environment, it's virtually impossible to achieve these strategic measures without the support of the right technology.
Conventional product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions enable basic collaboration by sharing up-to-date product specifications. Supply chain management (SCM) tools help buyers and producers work together to ensure more accurate, on-time deliveries. Still a tremendous opportunity remains to achieve much more through a single, comprehensive business management solution that naturally synchronizes the planning, development, sourcing, and production processes.
This presentation will discuss how PLM and SCM technologies are being united in a leading edge technology to help supply chains cut development and lead times, increase overall visibility, and strengthen their competitive advantages. This new breed of extended capability software is already changing the way fashion retailers, brands, and garment suppliers compete and win through a tightly synchronized concept-to-delivery business process.

Because no two brands are alike, PLM focus must be driven by unique business objectives, strategies and goals. Hear how leading brands in the Apparel industry are achieving success by applying a business value implementation methodology.
Advantages of the SaaS Model
Presented by Paul A. Friedman, Ph.D., Fashionware Solutions Inc.
It is always great to learn about new technologies. The key is if these new technologies will truly help improve your business and make it more efficient and will they save your company both time and money. The Software as a Service (SaaS) model can do all of these. With no software to purchase and no lengthy implementation to endure, your company will be up and running in a short time with little up-front expense.
Once primarily used by large corporations and enterprise solutions, SaaS is now assisting small- and medium-sized companies with their application needs. The SaaS delivery model provides many distinct benefits over traditional on-site deployments. With SaaS applications there is no software to install or hardware to set-up. SaaS provides a strategic option for growing companies who want to improve their businesses without making a capital investment in software, hardware and implementation. Companies gain all the benefits of full-featured business application software without building and supporting a complex IT infrastructure.
Managing the Concept to Delivery Processes
Presented by Suzanne Auyeung, Gerber Technology
Fashion Lifecycle Management (FLM) now extends beyond traditional PLM functionality with the addition of Supply Chain Management (SCM) modules. SCM tasks pick up at the point when goods are purchased and start in production at the factory, then managing and tracking the production and executing the necessary shipping requirements through to receipt into the warehouse. Learn how FLM allows Brand Owners to manage the entire product lifecycle from initial concept to in-store delivery.
Tech Talk - IT Trends in the Apparel & Footwear Industry
Presented by HCL Technologies & Featuring a Panel of Leading Industry Practitioners from the Apparel & Footwear Industry
[Description to come.]
How Evil is your Inventory?
Presented by Bob McKee, Lawson
Inventory is an asset and as we've all been taught assets are good. Yet, the lower the inventory, the better the Return on Assets (ROA). Is this a dichotomous relationship? Inventory has both financial and operational impact.
At Lawson Software we've talked at several industry gatherings on The Intimate Supply Chain which is all about putting customers at the center of the universe or becoming truly "Customer-centric." How can you do that and ignore the correlation between prompt and efficient fulfillment of orders to levels of finished goods inventory?
We need to employ elasticity in our inventory policies - the right amounts of the right inventory in the right places at the right times. In Fashion that requires systems support. Too often we create a set of expected results from systems, and when we achieve those results, we stop analyzing our systems support. We have to return to the process of continuous improvement and realize that just because we've decided that what we've accomplished is enough our competition hasn't. Good enough is never good enough.
Presented by Fred Isenberg, New Generation Computing
NGC ® (New Generation Computing ®) software enables Fashion, Apparel and Footwear Brands and Retailers to accelerate speed to market and gain real-time visibility throughout the supply chain, from Product Concept to Delivery. In this fast-paced session, NGC will focus on the business benefits of integrated PLM, Global Sourcing and ERP solutions. Learn how leading companies have implemented web-based solutions that enable them to get products to the market faster and more efficiently, while reducing costs, increasing profit margins, optimizing full-price sell through and improving product quality. NGC will stress the importance of implementing integrated End-to-End solutions that encompass the entire Product Lifecycle, from Design and Development to Shipping and Receiving. If your company is looking to implement PLM or Sourcing solutions to maximize supply chain efficiency and deliver higher-quality goods, this presentation will be your guide.

How the Shifting Dynamics of Retail Are Accelerating the Evolution of Next Generation PLM
Presented by Kathleen Mitford, PTC
Fast fashion and the globalization of retail are changing the rules of achieving profitable growth. How can retailers successfully deliver on the promise of higher margin private label when selling to multiple channels in multiple regions? How do wholesalers innovate with frequent new product introductions to carve out their space in retail? The answer lies with the heartbeat of effective product development: PLM. Not the generic, broad brush flavor of PLM that has been the industry buzz. Amidst the new rules for retail lies the imperative for the next generation of PLM: Process-focused, flexible, dynamic.
Drawing on examples across diverse product categories, geographies and distribution channels, we examine how industry leaders of all sizes are re-shaping product design and development in partnership with their suppliers.

Industry expert Stefano Lena, Global VP of Sales for TXT e-solutions, will lead you through a case study of the challenges facing apparel companies today and the solutions for gaining a competitive edge in today's volatile marketplace.
Yes, You Can Customize a PLM Solution
Presented by Charles Benoualid, Visual 2000 USA Inc.
Let's face it: PDM/PLM software has been around for years, especially in other industries. So what is all the hype about? The hype is that PLM/PDM has become fasionable - pun intended.
But PLM should not be a canned, one-size-fits all solution. Fashion companies have diverse needs and well-documented daily challenges. And operations can be tough to automate, because ultimately fashion is an art. Plus there's the pressure of time to market, and information must be accurate and up-to-date across multiple time zones, languages, cultures, seasons, buyers, etc.
In this presentation Visual 2000 will demonstrate how they addressed fashion industry challenges in Visual PDM.net product, and discuss the benefits of a solution that is completely customizable to fit your specific needs to a "T".
Product Lifecycle Management ON Time, ON Budget, ON Track
Presented by Darioush Nikpour, Yunique Solutions & Nancy Johnson, Optimyze
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software is considered the hottest technology for fashion companies. In today's mobile environment and dispersed global network, it has become vital in managing and accelerating their entire product development cycle, from concept through supplier tracking. Fashion companies, however, are especially slow to adopt this technology for fear of perceived costs, time and disruption.
This presentation will show that by combining the right software for your business, and having the help of an experienced PLM consultant, fashion companies can get an ON Time, ON Budget, ON Track PLM solution that will keep them competitive and profitable.
It takes planning, process analysis, business and IT involvement, project management, teamwork and execution, but it does not have to take years, or gigantic budgets.
Yunique Solutions presents several case studies where collaboration provides successful PLM implementations, and the roadmap to PLM success will be discussed.

Is a 1982 Cadillac Cimarron a desired car?
16 Answers
Racer_X answered 3 years ago
No way....I remember that horrendous car...It was a MAJOR FAIL for GM..Don't buy it! Here's an excerpt about it from Wikipedia: Yet even years after the model was discontinued, the Cimarron's legacy remains negative. The car has become a staple of books and articles about bad cars. Forbes placed the Cimarron on its list of "Legendary Car Flops," citing low sales, poor performance and the fact the car "didn't work, coming from a luxury brand." Author Hannah Elliott explained that the Cimarron "appealed neither to Cadillac's loyal followers, who appreciated powerful V8s and Cadillac's domestic luxury edge, nor to buyers who favored Europe's luxury brands, whose cars out-handled and out-classed the Cimarron in every way." In 2009, CNN Money noted in "GM's junk heap" of unsuccessful nameplates that the Cimarron was, "In all important respects, a Chevrolet Cavalier. It also added thousands to the price tag. In all, it was neither a good Cadillac nor a good value.
DavidH25 answered 3 years ago
One of the 50 worst cars ever made. Not my opinion, taken from Motor Trend: The horror. The horror. Everything that was wrong, venal, lazy and mendacious about GM in the 1980s was crystallized in this flagrant insult to the good name and fine customers of Cadillac. Spooked by the success of premium small cars from Mercedes-Benz, GM elected to rebadge its awful mass-market J-platform sedans, load them up with chintzy fabrics and accessories and call them "Cimarron, by Cadillac." Wha...? Who? Seeking an even hotter circle of hell, GM priced these pseudo-caddies (with four-speed manual transmissions, no less) thousands more than their Chevy Cavalier siblings. This bit of temporizing nearly killed Cadillac and remains its biggest shame.
DavidH25 answered 3 years ago
Well Racer. wiki and Motor Trend, a reputable magazine seem to agree, eh?
Racer_X answered 3 years ago
David..I remember a friend from college who owned one and bragged that he owned a Caddy..LMAO!!...It looked like a modified Cavalier...Not sure what was worse, the Cimmaron, the Pontiac Aztek, or the Fiero. Ugh!
DavidH25 answered 3 years ago
Popular Mechanics, another good source: Auto News 1982-1988 Cadillac Cimarron Cadillac Cimarron There's nothing wrong with the idea of a smaller, more athletic Cadillac. But it was a terrible idea to rebadge the Chevrolet Cavalier and attempt to pawn it off as a true Cadillac. The compact J-Car program was already well under development at GM by the time Cadillac decided it wanted a version of its own. With little time on its hands and no desire to spend much money, what they came up with was a Cavalier with a different grille, a slightly modified interior and some hydraulic dampers between the body and front subframe. Otherwise, the 1982 Cimarron was powered by the same 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine as the Cavalier, backed by either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac tried to sell the Cimarron as a domestic alternative to cars like the BMW 3 Series—that was just pathetic. Not surprisingly, practically no one fell for it and the Cimarron never sold well. But to many people, this proved that GM at the time had little regard for the storied and significant Cadillac brand.

No surprise there at all, David. I haven't seen one on the roads since the mid-late 80's. Wonder if any can be found in a single auto scrapyard in ANY state in the USA? Hmm? Could make up a new reality show "Find the Crap Car!" and have people racing against the clock to find rusted out Cimmarons, Yugos and other automotive nightmares and get them running again :)

desired ? today .not much, body parts are scarce. when new by some with money to burn, cavaliers were sold by the 1000s and a good easy .to service fuel efficient car.when that caddy bombed, and only from the sales aspect, as they cost like hell for what you got, and every one said a glorified cavalier that's terrible. so the prices dropped like the copter that ran out of fuel today from pilot texting the chick! well you did get something for all that cash ,plush leather,8 way power seats ,independent suspension,all disc, abs ,quiet insulated cabin, Bose system eight speaker,and everything else they could cram in .Then they were very desirable on the used market, at that time I couldn't buy them fast enough[, used to sell cars ] to fill orders !cavalier was durable and so was the Cimarron .reminds me of the Peugeots .A well kept secret for the used market.

I actually owned a Cimarron that i bought from a guy who had won it in a sales contest (got it for about 65% of the price) in my early 30s. I loved the car. had the stick shift,touring suspension, all the goodies. Was underpowered , but got GREAT mileage on the highway. it was classic GM, a great idea (small, fuel efficient luxury car) extremely poorly executed. Had the car for 80,000 miles and never spent a dime beyond maintenance..Much later , it was a Buick that eventually drove me to "foreign " cars, and i have not been back since .....

Racial discrimination in science
In American science, race affects the chance of getting a grant
Aug 20th 2011 | from the print edition
YOU might expect that science, particularly American science, would be colour-blind. Though fewer people from some of the country's ethnic minorities are scientists than the proportions of those minorities in the population suggest should be the case, once someone has got bench space in a laboratory, he might reasonably expect to be treated on merit and nothing else.
Unfortunately, a study just published in Science by Donna Ginther of the University of Kansas suggests that is not true. Dr Ginther, who was working on behalf of America's National Institutes of Health (NIH), looked at the pattern of research grants awarded by the NIH and found that race matters a lot. Moreover, it is not just a question of white supremacy. Asian and Hispanic scientists do just as well as white ones. Black scientists, however, do badly.
- Plugging the leaks
- »A black and white answer
- How dead is dead?
Related topics
Dr Ginther and her colleagues analysed grants awarded by the NIH between 2000 and 2006, and correlated this information with the self-reported race of more than 40,000 applicants. Their results show that the chance of a black scientist receiving a grant was 17%. For Asians, Hispanics and whites the number was between 26% and 29%. Even when these figures were adjusted to take into account applicants' prior education, awards, employment history and publications, a gap of ten percentage points remained.
This bias appears to arise in the NIH's peer-review mechanism. Each application is reviewed by a panel of experts. These panels assign scores to about half the applications they receive (the others are rejected outright). Scored applications are then considered for grants by the various institutes that make up the NIH. The race of the applicant is not divulged to the panel. However, Dr Ginther found that applications from black scientists were less likely to be awarded a score than those from similarly qualified scientists of other races, and when they were awarded a score, that score was lower than the scores given to applicants of other races.
One possible explanation is that review panels are inferring applicants' ethnic origins from their names, or the institutions they attended as students. Consciously or not, the reviewers may then be awarding less merit to those from people with "black-sounding" names, or who were educated at universities whose students are predominantly black. Indeed, a similar bias has been found in those recruiting for jobs in the commercial world. One well-known study, published in 2003 by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, found that fictitious CVs with stereotypically white names elicited 50% more offers of interviews than did CVs with black names, even when the applicants' stated qualifications were identical.
Another possible explanation is social networking. It is in the nature of groups of experts (which is precisely what peer-review panels are) to know both each other and each other's most promising acolytes. Applicants outside this charmed circle might have less chance of favourable consideration. If the charmed circle itself were racially unrepresentative (if professors unconsciously preferred graduate students of their own race, for example), those excluded from the network because their racial group was under-represented in the first place would find it harder to break in.
Though Dr Ginther's results are troubling, it is to the NIH's credit that it has published her findings. The agency is also starting a programme intended to alter the composition of the review panels, and—appropriately for a scientific body—will conduct experiments to see whether excising potential racial cues from applications changes outcomes. Other agencies, and not just in America, should pay strict attention to all this, and ask themselves if they, too, are failing people of particular races. Such discrimination is not only disgraceful, but also a stupid waste of talent.

Tech writers who got their hands on the Microsoft Surface tablet early are returning their results today, with lots of reports balancing gushy praise with harsh criticisms.
The pros:
- Price: The Surface starts at $499 for 32GB or $599 for 64GB, versus the now 4th generation iPad which starts at $599 32GB or $699 for 64GB.
- USB 2.0: Compatible with current accesories and peripherals.
- Expandable memory: Offers a memory-card slot to up capacity by as much as 64 GB.
The cons:
- Software: Windows RT, the variation of Windows 8 the device runs on, won't support current Windows programs, and thus will have a limited selection of apps (3,500 in the Windows App Store compared to 275,000 in Apple's App Store). Though previously expected to only run a preview version of Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, Microsoft was able to deliver the final version of Office 2013 RT earlier than expected and users may download it starting October 26.
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi only.
- Screen sharpness: Even at 1,366 by 768 pixels it can't approach the iPad's Retina screen at 2,048 by 1,536 pixels.
- Battery life: Up to eight hours, versus 10 on the iPad.
- The keyboard: Reviews indicate poor experiences with the Touch Cover, but the Type Cover with real keys seems to perform as promised, letting you decide when you want the expanded keyboard of a laptop, and when you'll opt for a tablet experience.
- Size: Larger and heavier than the newest iPad at 10.81 inches tall and 1.5 pounds vs. the 9.5-inch and 1.44-pound iPad, but a smaller width at 6.77 inches vs. the 7.31-inch-wide iPad. The longer rectangle shape of the Surface and 16:9 ratio make it better suited for movie watching, some reviewers said, in which case the 10.6-inch screen size (vs. iPad's 9.7 inches) may be a plus as well.
Considerations for photographers:
- Desktop editors on tablet: The Microsoft Surface won't run full-scale Windows programs, but the upcoming Surface Pro will. Think Photoshop and Lightroom on a tablet. However, this device is going to be heavier and more expensive, so you may be back to pondering if a small laptop or something like the Surface is the better way to go for on-the-go workflow solutions.
- Foldable keyboard: Though it sounds like the Type Cover is the better choice, the option of a keyboard may make it easer to switch between tablet and almost-laptop on the fly, allowing you to choose when to use the device for portfolio display or when to switch to serious editing work with the benefit of laptop functionality. Don't forget this in the price though -- neither keyboard is included and the Touch version will add on another $120 or $130 for the Type version.
- Smart stylus capabilities: The Surface's proximity sensor makes for seamless swiching between stylus and your fingers.
The tablet officially launches on Friday, Oct. 26, though preorders started last week. If you just can't wait to hear more, Microsoft will also offer a webcast about the Surface tomorrow, starting at 1:30 p.m. EDT on its consumer site.
Next up for Microsoft: The release of its Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system (first available on phones from both Nokia and HTC) on Monday, Oct. 29, the same day Google is expected to showcase a new Nexus smarthphone from LG, an updated Nexus 7 tablet and a larger tablet from Samsung.

esterday I made updates two of my favorite apps, the Washington Post and The Weather Channel. neither one works now. page loads and then shuts down. notified via their forum. Coincidence that there is something uniquely wrong with both of these updates or is there a larger problem here? I use these apps everday. Thanks for any insight.
Hello tina4201. I sometimes have similar problems when I update content rich apps like these two that you mentioned. Here is what I do: 1. After the update, I double press home and get the shelf where recently used apps reside. I press an app until it wiggles and press each app until you clear the shelf. 2. Then I press home until the power off slider appears, I slide to off, wait a couple seconds. 3. I press the home button again until the Apple login appears and power back. This action should clear your iPad memory. Whenever you have this kind of problem, this will help reset your iPad.
I use the weather channel, and ive had no update notice, was it from app store?? My last update to this app was early last week, nothing since, and its working perfectly
The latest update of the Weather channel app was on the 9th of July. I updated on the same day and didn't experience any problems. Did you experience any difficulty with the download of the update?
it was the 9 July update, i just installed it the other day. no noticeable problems when it updated. removed app entirely and reinstalled with same result.
The only thing I can think of here is that there is not sufficient ram available to run these apps. Have you ever cleared your history and cookies in Safari? Go to Settings - Safari and Clear History and cookies and then see if this makes a difference and let us know. iPad 2 3G 64gb

I have vacationed in Palm Springs for the past 10 years and it is my favorite place. I have rented many homes in Palm Springs from several different agencies and this home BY FAR is the best I have ever stayed at. The location was excellent, the property was clean and well cared for. The owners met us at the home, gave us a tour, had the music on, fresh flowers in the vases, wine, cookies, waters etc. ready and available for us. Perfect!
I have allready recommended this home to a friend and I will never look for another home to rent as long as this one is available.
Regarding places to eat, they are all good but I really like Shermans (great deli) and Shame on the Moon ( fabulous dinners in Rancho Mirage) don't miss Blame it on Midnight (fun supper club-not to be missed)
The house is fantastic, great location, charming and very comfortable.
The owners, Robert and Jamie, went beyond their obligation to make sure all was fine. From the 1st day to our last they were checking with us if we needed anything.
One of the highlights was picking grapefruit and lemons from the trees by the swimming pool and at night looking at the moon and stars, I guess the wine helped a bit!!!
Thank you R and J for taking us for breakfast, dinner, making us laugh and showing us around Palm Springs.
We can go on and on how much we loved our vacation...
For sure we'll see you again.
Keep well and thanks for the memories!
Miguel and Christine Forezli
If you want to "live" Palm Springs we recommend this home highly.
My husband and I, and our 8 yr old Australian Shepard, have been warmly welcomed into this charming home for 3 seasons now. The first year for 3 months, the second for 5 months and again this year for 3 months. Friends and family stay with us here. Comfortable for 6.
The owners, who manage the home themselves, go well beyond the norm to make us comfortable. They are accessible, attentive and helpful - we have made two new friends!
There are a lot of choices of rental homes in P.S. This one is as described, mid-century vintage, clean, comfortable and cozy, nice pool - extra charge for heating typ. - well priced.
In an excellent, convenient location.Close enough to downtown P.S. to walk or bike, yet in one of P.S. most beautiful and quiet neighborhoods. Down the street to grocery shopping and other real life necessities.
We enjoy all P.S. has to offer. Red Jeep tours are terrific for the whole family. Hiking is nearby in Indian Canyon, Tahquitz Canyon, and on the "Bump and Grind".
Public golf course near at Mesquite, Indian Canyon and Escena. Mini golf for kids too.
Great down-the-street dining and nightlife at the Purple Room and Tinto, lunch at Palm Greens and Native Foods organic cafes and, of course, pancakes and BLT's at Elmer's. Don't miss the new Patisserie with better bread and croissants than you can get in Paris! All, and more, within 5 - 15 minutes walk.
We've tried almost every restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. Our favorite is dinner and music at Tropicale both inside and on the patio. We love the varied menu and relaxed atmosphere at Kaiser Grille, the patio at Jake's for lunch and dinner and Cheeky's for breakfast. ,
"Happy Hour" - many of the restaurants have excellent ones (Matchbox, Trio, Kaiser Grille, Tropicale). And don't forget cocktails and dancing at the long time Palm Springs hideaway, Melvyn's. We hear new Copa is fun too.
Great movie theatres (3) nearby, live programs at the Annenberg and McCallum, Wonderful Palm Springs Art museum (free Thursday eve), interesting architecture and history.
We enjoy January Palm Springs Film Festival, and tour local homes and gardens during Modernism Week in Feb. Go online to buy tickets in advance of visit!
Thurs eve. stroll Palm Springs market on Palm Canyon Drive.
Lots to do, yet very relaxing..
My son and I stayed here last year during his Spring Break from school. We had the most fantastic trip and Robert thought of absolutely everything. We didn't even need to go to the store right away - cold drinks and munchies already in the kitchen waiting for us when we arrived.
The pool is magical and coming from Vancouver where there is NO bougainvillia - the wall of it hanging just by the pool was unbelievable - like paradise. LOVED the fact that we saw about 15 humming birds a minute out by the pool - so incredible...and the grapefruit trees...lots of grapefruit!
I am about to book another trip to stay here right NOW! I loved the showers too by the way...so 50's and fun! The house is so comfortable and exactly as described.
Thanks for everything you guys!
the listing description was 100% accurate, the layout and amenities were much more than we expected. Robert (the owner) had thought of virtually every comfort for the home, with cold drinks in the refrigerator, and pastries. Very warm welcome.
The property was spotless, clean, and very well maintained.
We would definitely stay here again (and intend to) and would recommend it to a friend or relative.
We enjoyed Spencer's (restaurant recommended by Robert), The Falls (restaurant), Lou Lous (restaurant), the street fair and the pool! We felt right at home in the house and never wanted to leave!
My husband and I and another couple stayed in this beautiful, clean retro home in a lovely area of palm springs.
We had a fabulous time and Robert, the owner could not have been nicer. He met us the night we arrived and had lovely touches waiting for us including food and drinks to get us started in the morning and Frank Sinatra music plaing and the lights were on in the pool. It was everything we could have imagined. Robert gave us a tour and his number was there incase we needed anything. it is a very safe neighbourhood close to downtown. The pool was great. We picked lemons and grapefruit off the trees in the back yard Everythig was there all we needed to do was buy food,It was closed to stores and about a 5 minute driver to downtown. You do need a car. We enjoyed eating the Kaiser Grille, and for mexican food we went to the Blue Coyote. Great live entertainment at Tony's
We would definitely stay there again and thankyou for making our holiday so wonderful

It seems I won't be having to rely on the flicking delights of Vietnamese state television for much longer as Australia's hopes of staying in the Asian Cup now rest on mathematics and miracles.
Iraq 3 - 1 Australia
Australia's coach Graham Arnold is surely going to be sacked after another listless display by the Socceroos. Before the match large changes were forecast, in the end just one change was made. Genclerbirligi's Nick Carle unfortunately was not played and will no doubt be flying back to Ankara soon and will be available for the first match of the season sometime in August.
This was yet another performance where the Aussies were just too bloody slow and showed no real threat. The Iraqis seemed to play above themselves and the team comprised of a bunch of journeymen who ply their trade in various Middle Eastern leagues clearly outclassed our European-based so-called stars.
Dear oh dear.
The Iraqis went ahead first in about the 22nd and had a few more chances in the first half. We hardly had any.
Second half started off well with Mark Viduka scoring a header off a freekick taken by Brett Emerton but then we went behind again on the one hour mark. Then came the sucker-punch with five minutes left in the match.
So now we have to beat Thailand by plenty of goals on Monday to get through the group but going by the last two matches I reckon our only chances of recording a victory would be if we re-apply to join the Oceania region, or perhaps Antartica.

Subject | [jira] [Updated] (SOLR-3895) For several reasons, disabling the resolving of external entities within the Solr UpdateRequestHandler for XML would be good. |

If a user requests this feature, we can enable in a later issue. But then also xinclude should be enabled. Any other opinions? Nope, like i said: we can worry about the detials of making it configurable if/when anyone asks for it. bq. I can extend the patch to also take care of DIH (SOLR-3614) i figured maybe we could - but we can also worry about it in that issue after this one gets commited, whatever you think is easier. bq. We should add the same one for XSLReqHandler (because it uses other parser). good call -- i updated the patch to test that named entities still work in XSL transformed docs & stylesheets, and they do. But this lead me to discover that SYSTEM entities in the xsl docs (aparently) aren't being ignored, so with the patch attached (trying to refer to a bogs file fro mthe XSL) you get a stylesheet compilation error -- so i think maybe there is still a code path missing the use of your new EmptyEntityResolver?

Beat LA: Rockets Take Out Injury-Riddled Lakers to Run Streak to Five
The Rockets gave the Rowdies a lot to cheer about Tuesday night at Toyota Center.
Photo by Groovehouse
The Rockets faced a depleted Lakers squad missing three key players including Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard Tuesday night at Toyota Center in a classic trap game. The first game of yet another five-games-in-four-nights stretch for the Rockets against a very short-handed team makes for situation Coach Kevin McHale openly worried about. For the first 30 minutes or so, he was right to be concerned before Houston turned on the jets and coasted to a 125-112 victory.
The Lake Show led by as many as 14 points in the first quarter with the young Rockets coming out sluggish and turning the ball over far too much. But a 38-26 surge in the third quarter turned things around for good and shut the door on the disappointing Lakers who have lost four in a row and started a rookie at center for only the fourth time in franchise history.
The Rockets on the other hand have won five in a row and 10 of their last 12 losing only back-to-back games against the Spurs and Thunder, two of the best teams in the Western Conference.
In this one, it was the backcourt that set the tone, though mostly in the second half. James Harden continued his ridiculous streak of 25-point games, scoring 31 and stretching that streak to 13, which ties a franchise record set by Moses Malone. He also helped to keep Kobe Bryant from extending his own streak of 25-point games. Bryant scored 20 snapping his streak at 17.

Jeremy Lin, like the rest of the team, started slow but adjusted and scored 11 of his 19 points in the pivotal third quarter, getting to the rim and showing a few moves reminiscent of the Linsanity stretch last year in New York. Chandler Parsons was the steadying force in the first half that kept the Rockets in it scoring 20 and Carlos Delfino came off the bench hitting five three pointers and scoring 19 in 23 minutes of action.
Now, they head on the road for three winnable games, two against the east, a conference they have absolutely manhandled this season. Then, it gets trickier with a visit from the dynamic LA Clippers followed by games against Dallas, Indiana and Minnesota. They finish the month with two games against Denver and one each against Utah and New Jersey, mixed in with Charlotte and a trip to New Orleans as they head towards February and the All Star break. Since the Rockets have been good against lesser opponents and the east, but not terribly good against contenders, this stretch should tell us a lot about their development as a young team.
