When Alvaro de Mendana de Neyra, the first European who landed on the shore of Maequesas in the eastern islands of Polynesia in 1595, he already saw the Alien tattooing patterns of Alien tattoos designs which looks similar to a checker board that covers the whole body of a native Marquesan. These are one of the unique tattoo designs for girls ever in the range.He was surprised to see that the natives were covered with Alien tattoos pictures for girls in almost entire part of their bodies. Girls Tattooing was called tatauing then, and alien tattoo flash was termed tatau in marquesan language. That's a good concept of Alien tattoos for girls and Alien tattoos for men.
The Alien tattoo for girls gallery played a major role in the culture of Marquesas, and their girls alien tattoos art were typically associated with aesthetic, political, social and economic aspects of their life.

George Duke of the Mothers of Invention Dies
Keyboard pioneer George Duke, whose long list of credits included a lengthy stint with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, has reportedly passed away at the age of 67.
Although details are scarce, news of Duke's passing comes from the Electronic Urban Report via former Supremes member Scherrie Payne, who wrote, "I just received the devastating and sad news that the great musician, George Duke, passed away this evening at St. John's hospital in L.A."
EUR notes that Duke's most recent solo release, 'Dreamweaver,' arrived in stores just last month and that it was written and recorded as a tribute to his late wife, who succumbed to cancer last year.
Duke started making a name for himself in the late '60s, a fertile creative period in which he played alongside a number of talented artists (including Jean-Luc Ponty and Cannonball Adderly) before joining up with Zappa for a series of albums that included 'Chunga's Revenge,' '200 Motels' and 'Apostrophe.' Far from just a sideman, Duke was also an extraordinarily prolific recording artist in his own right, releasing more than 30 solo albums and serving as a producer and musical director for a long list of acts and events.
Duke is survived by his sons, Rasheed and John.

The frontman for the costume-clad "extraterrestrial" metal band Gwar died of an accidental heroin overdose, the Virginia coroner's office told local media Tuesday.
According to a statement from the band, David Brockie, 50, was found dead in his Richmond home March 23. Brockie died from "acute heroin toxicity and the manner of death is accident," Arkuie Williams, administrator of the medical examiner's office, said in an email.
Formed in 1984, the Grammy-nominated band rose to fame in part because of its elaborate, over-the-top and grotesque costumes and showmanship. The band had regular appearences on the popular TV show "Beavis and Butt-head" and had a cameo in the 1995 film "Empire Records."
Gwar released its most recent album, "Battle Maximus," in September.
The band also established the Dave Brockie fund, which promotes the advancement of music and performance in the arts, encouraging promising talents who have trouble with funding through mainstream channels, according to the website.
Gwar manager Jack Flanagan could not be reached for comment.
Brockie performed as the character Oderus Urungus.
Shortly after his death, former and current bandmates shared their admiration for Brockie in interviews.
"Dave was one of the funniest, smartest, most creative and energetic persons I've known," former GWAR bassist Mike Bishop told Richmond's Style Weekly publication. "He was brash sometimes, always crass, irreverent. He was hilarious in every way. But he was also deeply intelligent and interested in life, history, politics and art."
In a video posted to YouTube, the band - out of costume - thanked fans for their love and support in the wake of Brockie's death.
In 2011, the group lost band member, lead guitarist Cory Smoot, aka Flattus Maximus, who died at 34 of a heart attack caused by coronary heart disease.

91 x 190 x 63 cm
The new Marvin Innovative System Sofa is the logical follow-up to our Keating line, but with smaller and lighter dimensions for less spacious area needs. This development is based on the premise that a smaller size and more variable elements with the same level of comfort will make a better fit for smaller living spaces. Where the components of the Keating sectional couch had a width of 90 cm, Marvin offers more flexibility with two system widths of 65 cm and 75 cm. The sturdy metal runners raise the sofa off the floor and are not only an aesthetically pleasing foot design but also serve as connections between the individual furniture elements.

Can ghost hurt You??
Posted 19 April 2006 - 03:03 PM
Posted 19 April 2006 - 03:30 PM
Im j8ust wondering if they could. Please tell me.
Sure I have a very large scar down my back where I was scratched, and it goes wiggy when spirits are around.
Posted 19 April 2006 - 03:59 PM
Theres only one offical case where a gohst killed someone, whats more likely to happen is a malicious spirit might try to choke you, scratch you, etc.
although most ghosts arent trying to hurt anyone...

Whatever it is just don't fear it. Fearing it is where you can go wrong. i know that sounds terribly simple yet complex. I was in a huanted and posessed house for a year. The spirits in my house were really unhappy, and one was malevolent to the point we believe we encountered a demon.
I do go seeking out spirits. So I suppose I should expect to enocounter the malevolent one from time to time. I am not to wooried in general.

They were talking to a ghost named Zachary and he got really upset and slashed a "Z" on the side of my leg.
It was not deep enough to go the the hospital or anything, but it did bleed alot and left a scar for years.
Other than that I have never been hurt. My own nervousness and fears have almost caused me to get hurt, but that was my own fault. I too, have never known a ghost to kill someone. I have heard stories of others getting hurt by ghosts, but nothing very serious.

A blond man came up through my floor once. He looked exactly like a vampire. I had floating indian heads with the eyes portruding and tongues sticking out. Sometimes I would open the broom closet, and there would be a man hanging in there.....It got so common place nothing scared me anymore until the night I was not allowed to sleep more than two hours. My pots and pans would fly and make noise all night. I am very glad to be moved. I blessed the house 6 times, and then did a major blessing when I left. I told everyone they had to stay there.

Yes they can inflick injury. I would say they would be capable of pushing someone down the stairs if they had enough energy and were emotional enough. I and others have also heard team leader say that her leg was being poked and she told the spirit to stop it. When we looked we could see her thigh indenting like invisible fingertips were prodding. She was wearing jeans at the time and I saw this and asked her if it could be a nerve but she is a nurse and said no it wasnt a nerve. It was interesting seeing this.
I have had my toe grabbed when it poked out of these sandal type shoes. The spirit did it twice. The first time I questioned what I felt and slowly pulled my foot back towards me on the chair but then immediately it was grabbed again quite cheekily and unmistakably. Now this felt so real like it was being grabbed that I guess a push could most certainly be a push.
When my toe was grabbed I couldnt feel skin touching skin. I could only feel the sensation of a hand grabbing my toe and the pressure feeling. I could not feel any change in temperature on my toe just the feeling of it being grabbed. I have had my toes grabbed before by a fleshy so immediately knew what was happening that is why I am surprised at myself for doubting it the first time. I think it was because it felt like exactly what was happening that I thought no that cant be....if you know what I mean.

SAN JOSE — Even after his vindication in a lurid and sensational hearing this past summer, Silicon Valley millionaire Clyde Berg's bizarre legal battle with his estranged wife is heading back to court next month.
Ellena Berg had accused her husband of horrific abuse, including an assertion that he outfitted her with a spiked dog collar, chained her to a bed and sexually assaulted her with a golf club while she was nine months' pregnant. But a judge dismissed the felony sexual assault and domestic abuse case against Clyde Berg, concluding that his wife was lying and opining that she suffered from mental illness. If the real estate magnate had been convicted, he would have been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
Despite her public humiliation, Ellena Berg, 38, is continuing to pursue two legal actions she filed before the ruling by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Ron Del Pozzo. In a paternity suit set for trial next month, she makes the same assertions as she did in criminal court — that Clyde Berg, 75, signed a generous postnuptial agreement granting her at least $2 million if they divorced and also promised to support her daughter, whom she contends she conceived with his knowledge using a known sperm donor.
And in a civil lawsuit, she is still demanding millions in punitive damages for what she says was a decade of domestic abuse at his hands, including the disgusting golf-club incident.
"I have a right to participate in the process," Ellena Berg said in an interview, adding she is acting for the benefit of her nearly 2-year-old daughter. Asked if she told the truth during the preliminary hearing in criminal court, she said "yes," but did not elaborate.
As for Clyde Berg, he's outraged that the courts haven't already dismissed both cases. After Ellena Berg was discredited in criminal court, he thought he'd proved that he was the real victim — of a greedy scam aimed at getting around a restrictive prenuptial agreement.
"To have to prove the same thing in paternity court as in the criminal case is a joke," he said.
Clyde Berg's situation is rare but not unprecedented. Family law experts pointed to O.J. Simpson as an example of someone who was acquitted in criminal court (of killing his wife) but still faced a civil lawsuit (in which he was held liable for her death). However, few predict that Ellena Berg will easily prevail.
"A finding in a criminal case will come in at some point into the civil case," said San Francisco family law attorney Ariel R. Sosna. "Eventually, there could be comeuppance."
In a prenuptial agreement, the two had agreed in writing not to have children, and that Ellena Berg could expect only $1 million of her husband's fortune, and then only if he died.
Ellena Berg has admitted in a deposition after Del Pozzo's ruling that she signed Clyde Berg's name on medical documents having to do with the fertility treatments, though she argues it was with his permission. And a handwriting expert hired by Clyde Berg found that she forged his name on the postnuptial agreement, according to court documents. Among other things, Del Pozzo found Ellena Berg's claim that an experienced businessman like Clyde Berg signed a postnup without a lawyer unbelievable, and her description of how she called 911 while handcuffed to the bed during the golf club incident "preposterous."
Even her family law attorney quit shortly after the judge's ruling. But now, she's found other lawyers to represent her, including a Berkeley attorney who specializes in abused women.
Meanwhile, Clyde Berg has to foot her legal bills as well as his own, for a total of nearly $2.5 million so far. He's also had to support her and her daughter, paying $550,000 to cover her expenses (in monthly payments ranging from $17,000 to $25,000). Clyde Berg is the brother and business partner of billionaire Carl Berg, one of the richest people in the United States. The two developed campuses for many of Silicon Valley's signature companies and recently sold their firm for $1.3 billion.
If Clyde Berg wins, Ellena Berg would have to pay him back, but he believes his chances of ever seeing the money are slim.
"She's playing the system," he said. "I've had 20 people say, 'It's not worth your time, pay her off.' But I'm not going to pay her a penny."
He said he used to feel sorry for his estranged wife, but he is now fed up. He's filed a complaint against her with Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies, who confirmed that they are investigating whether she filed a false police report over the golf club incident and at least one break-in.
Ellena Berg denied that she's prolonging the legal battle in order to keep collecting monthly support from her husband. But she acknowledged that the money covers the cost of a full-time nanny while she pursues an MBA degree at Santa Clara University that she hopes will help her relaunch a career as a manager for a high-tech company.
And if Ellena Berg loses her court cases and finds she can't get a job in Silicon Valley because her reputation is ruined, she said she might have to return to Sweden to live with her parents. The couple met after the Swedish native, then in her early 20s, placed a singles ad in the Mercury News.
"I'm very grateful to have funds available" for the "transition," she said. "I'm aware many women in my situation live in their car."
Tia Katrina Taruc Canlas, Ellena Berg's attorney in Berkeley, acknowledged that there were "inconsistencies" in her client's testimony in Del Pozzo's court. But she noted that the standard of proof in the upcoming civil case — preponderance of the evidence — is lower than in a criminal trial, where it's beyond a reasonable doubt. And she asserted that Ellena Berg was still traumatized when she testified about the alleged attack, which she'd reported 11 months earlier.
"Now she has more strength," Canlas said. "She's healed a little. Her testimony can be more consistent."
But Clyde Berg argues that he's the one still suffering from her lies. After his arrest in September 2012, he spent nine days in jail. He had a GPS unit attached to his ankle for months after posting $3 million bail. He recovered much more slowly from knee surgery because of the stress, he said.
Even the one small victory he has achieved in court since the criminal charges were dropped was limited. Ellena Berg had taken his beloved dog, Rudy Valentino, asserting that he abused the plump Weimaraner, though there never was any evidence to substantiate the claim. Shortly after the criminal case against him was dropped, he got Rudy back.
But he still has to bring the pet to the vet every month for court-ordered checkups, even though Rudy has gotten a clean bill of health for the past 11 months.
"The system is screwed up," he said. "I've aged 10 years over this whole thing."

Nutritionists from the University of Maryland Medical System regularly contribute a guest post. The latest post is from Whitney Wallace.
We all know that eating right, getting regular physical activity and getting adequate sleep are important for overall health and healthy aging. However, did you know that there are foods that may improve your brain health?
Certain foods may help improve memory and alertness. Over time, these foods may also help keep the brain sharp and prevent cognitive decline during aging. Are you feeling forgetful, sluggish or mentally foggy? Give your brain a boost with these foods.
Omega-3 fatty acids
According to a 2012 study published in Nutritional Neuroscience, omega-3 fatty acids are a healthy type of fat that may improve memory and reduce the risk of cognitive decline or dementia. Decosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, is an omega-3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain. To help keep your brain running smoothly, eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, on a regular basis.
The 2005 Dietary Reference Intakes recommend adult males consume 1.6 grams, and adult females consume 1.1 grams of omega-3 fatty acids daily. People can reach this goal by eating 3-4 ounces of fatty fish at least twice each week. A 3-4 ounce serving of fish is about the size of a deck of cards. Fish rich in omega-3 fats are salmon, herring, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout. Don't eat fish? You can also get omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil supplements or seaweed. Remember to ask your health care provider before taking fish oil or any other supplements.
Nuts are also a powerful brain food. Nuts are packed with protein and heart-healthy fats, called monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Regular nut consumption has been associated with higher cognitive function during aging, according to a 2013 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Walnuts in particular may improve working memory.
On average, nuts provide about 180 calories per ounce, so enjoy them sparingly. A 1-ounce serving of nuts is about a quarter of a cup. Add a small amount of nuts to meals such as a stir-fry, cereal, oatmeal and salads to provide flavor, extra vitamins and minerals, and protein. Or snack on a handful of nuts to recharge your brain and satisfy hunger during the day.
Fruits and vegetables
In addition to many other benefits, fruits and vegetables may help improve memory function. Fruits and vegetables contain natural compounds called phytochemicals or phytonutrients. Phytochemicals help protect cells throughout the body, including the brain. Give your brain a boost with fruits and vegetables every day.
According to choosemyplate.gov, most adults need at least 1.5-2 servings of fruit daily and at least 2-3 servings of vegetables daily. Include fruits and vegetables with dark, rich colors to get the most brain-boosting benefits. For example, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and cherries may improve memory. Enjoy berries and other fruit as a snack, with meals or as a light dessert.
While all vegetables are great choices, dark vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beets, red peppers and dark leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, spinach and turnip greens pack an extra punch. Enjoy vegetables in a variety of ways — in salads, soups, sauces, salsas or raw snacks.

Maginot Technologies needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 542 designs submitted by 143 freelance designers.
We're seeking a logo for The Dog Day Care Center at ManhattanWest , a day care service for dogs located in an upscale mixed-use condominium community.
The Dog Day Care at ManhattanWest
The Business
The Dog Day Care Center at ManhattanWest is a day care service for dogs located, at ManhattanWest, a mixed-use condominium/office/retail/hotel project located 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip.
Residents of the development and the local community can drop their dog off for the day, knowing that their pet will be well cared for and safe when they return. While the project is located 10 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, you'll want to draw on a more urban, New York flavor, and avoid anything that says Las Vegas
Our Customers
The Dog Day Care Center at ManhattanWest will be located in ManhattanWest, a mixed-use community featuring 700 residences, shops, restaurants, offices, and a hotel. Customers will be pet owners, typically 25-55+.
While we are open to ideas, we are pretty sure we're looking for a logo that will fit into our current ManhattanWest logo family with a similar, "New York Subway", rectangular black background, white "subway stripe" on top, motif. You are welcome to add an icon similar in style to what you'd find on NY subway sign- maybe a terrier in profile?
There are two variations of our current ManhattanWest logo. The first is enclosed in a black box, with a white stripe at the top. You can see an example in the lower right corner of this page.
The other version of this logo, typically used on black or dark backgrounds uses just the logotype, without the box and stripe and can be viewed in the upper left of this page.
The new logo should be designed to work both with and without the black background/stripe.
If you feel you can design something that works well without the stripe, please feel free to go in that direction as long as it's really clear that the logo is the same family as our core ManhattanWest logo.
- Please use the full name: The Dog Day Care Center at ManhattanWest.
- • A look and feel that ties in with the overall look and feel of the project's existing ManhattanWest logo- this includes colors, typeface, background elements, etc.
• A look and feel that matches the design of the ultimate winner of our current contest for our Executive Suites at the same project. If you're entering one contest it's definitely worthwhile for you to enter a matching design for the other at the same time to increase your odds that if you win, you'll win both contests.
• Something that will work as well in one or two color as it works in four color process. We'll need to be able to use the logo in everything from electronic media to one color promotional items.
- A icon using the letters MW together. We don't want to change the ManhattanWest brand image.
- Logos that break completely new ground and don't tie in with the type and style of our current ManhattanWest logo.
- Unaltered clip art. If we can tell it's clip art, you'll want to stay away from it.

When haying season around the corner, AGCO and its experts from the Hesston line of hay equipment have the following tips to maximize tonnage and quality with mowing equipment.
First, the environment and the individual operation will drive the type of mowing equipment used. Modern sickle-type or disc-type mowers, windrowers and swathers are capable of cutting forage crops fast and cleanly, leaving a smooth, even windrow that maximizes crop dry-down. Disc mowers offer the advantage of allowing hay to be cut earlier in the morning or later in the evening, when better leaf moisture means less loss of nutrient-rich leaves.
Here are tips from Hesston experts with any mower or mower conditioner model:

How are we sure that's supposed to be CLU at the end of the TR2N trailer? He didn't really look like Bridges at all Doug Exeter 09:49, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- In a phone interview with MTV , the film's director, Joseph Kosinski, confirmed Clu's identity in the new trailer. 184.108.40.206 09:27, March 11, 2010 (UTC)bdubs216
- It's been confirmed by several sources. AICN reported that a reliable source told them it was Clu.
- TR2N Story Details Reveal A Little More About What Kosinski & Co. Are Up To!!
- Jeff Bridges also said that he did some motion capture for the Comic Con '08 Trailer, so I assuming he played the guy with the yellow circuitry.
- Jeff Bridges Interview Also the yellow-circuitry guy sounds a lot like Clu's voice. -Mr. Sinistar 19:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Capitalization Edit
I'm just sort of thinking out loud, but shouldn't this page and the one for CLU 2 have all the letters in the title in caps since CLU stands for something? That Kid Again 21:10, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, the official website makes mentions of him mostly as "Clu" (although CLU can also be found in rare instances). I'm content to leave this one alone for the moment. Maybe the novel could clear it up... -- WarBlade 04:55, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
Where The Hero Clu Turn to Evil Clu?Edit
Clu Was a Minor Hacker That Derezzed By MCP. Then It Was Revived as Clu 2. So How does Clu Was Happen to An Evil One? Magnus User 16:58, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Clu 2 is program. He was simply following his programming, which drove him to create the perfect system. He perceived the the chaos represented by the ISOs to be an obstacle to perfection, so he decided to purge them from the TRON system. -- WarBlade 20:22, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
Flynn and CLU's chat Edit
I can't seem to figure this one out. In the beginning of the CLU scene, Flynn starts talking to CLU. That's fine and all, and everything checks out, but then CLU starts replying. How does this work? I thought maybe it was a representation of what Flynn was typing, but I don't think Flynn would type that, and there is no way CLU could have heard Flynn's voice, and vice versa. TheMattMan095 20:51, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- It's very interesting to talk about that!, ...could there have been computer-speakers or a little microphone? Or when somebody of them replied this text was shown on the screen of the other, (so that the producers of the movie decided "to make it audible for us".) ...But the craziest version would be that they could "communicate telepathically" ...A program and its (his) user...

For some reason, my camera has started taking incredibly crappy photos. Which is bad, because... umm... hello, nail polish swatching! Need good photos! But it's also good, because I've been looking for a reason to get a new camera besides, "I wanna new one." ("It's gone screwy and I can't have a screwy camera with a nail blog" seems to be a better excuse, don't you think?)
Anyway, I recently ordered a couple of Avon nail polishes on whim (3 for $8, free shipping -- how much could I lose?). I never thought I'd order from Avon; I kind of just have a weird mental block against it. But because of their great sales, I now own four huuuuge bubble bath bottles and a handful of polishes. All of which has probably cost me less than $20 total, even with shipping.
I wasn't expecting much from Avon so I wasn't sure what weird whim struck me when I needed to slather on a nail polish quick before running to school to do a presentation for my statistics course. It's probably the fact that they landed on my doorstep an hour before I had to be on campus. I took one look at Golden Twilight and wanted it on my tips. Lookit in the bottle!!
Deep chocolate brown, decked out with gold and bronze shimmer that reflects red and green. Yikes! That's just prettiness bottled. (Also, nice bottle: square and substantial. They just feel great to hold.)
Avon Golden Twilight
This nail polish just gliiiiided on. It took a moment to figure out how to hold the handle (the cap is square and brush is flat and wide but not as wide as the OPI Pro-Wides) but once I got the hang of it, it was the easiest thing to apply. Opaque in two coats. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that the shimmer kinda disappeared when applied on the nail! Pretty shimmer, where did you go? Anyway, when I applied the cheapo Supply Source topcoat, it almost completely dried in less than ten minutes! ...though not dry enough because I could still dent it ten hours later. (Common problem I've been getting with this topcoat but that's a story for another post.)
You can be sure I'll be swatching more Avon polishes in the future. There's a yellow that's just calling my name...

2005 Moab Easter Jeep Safari - A Rookie's PerspectivePosted in Events on March 24, 2005
Since starting my job as online editor for the truck group in the Summer of 2004, I had heard all the guys around the office talking about Moab. "Moab this, Moab that. Dude, Moab is so awesome." Growing up in a San Francisco suburb, my experiences with nature's wide-open spaces were somewhat limited, other than the bi-annual interstate trek between home and college in central Texas.
Online video guru John Adolph and myself rolled into Moab 8 p.m. on the Sunday before the week's festivities. The drive in certainly afforded us some opportunities to behold some of Utah's natural beauty, but by the time we actually rolled into town, we were guided only by headlights and the signs of Moab's Main Street.
4PhotosView Slideshow
The next day, the vast expanses of otherworldly red rock against the backdrop of the snow-capped Rockies truly inspired awe in the most reverent sense of the word. I couldn't think of a more perfect setting to go 'wheeling. But being a Moab rookie, I didn't have a trail-worthy ride. I consulted with John, and we decided that either we would hitch a ride on a rig, or get left in the parking lot. We approached a massive yellow Suburban, and asked the drivers if they had room for two more. They immediately said yes and invited us to join them.
As unwieldy as that rig seemed at first, it took to the trails like a mountain goat, wheeling around narrow and steep passes with ease, even if it meant a few three-point trail turns. Rather, I should say its driver, Steve Frisbie of Missouri Off-Road Outfitters, adeptly managed the massive machinery of the nearly four-ton beast like the off-roading pro he is. In addition to having a five-speed manual transmission, itself highly unusual in a Suburban, it had three tractor-like levers protruding from the transmission hump. One was the high-low selector for the front axle, the other the high-low for the rear, and the third a gear splitter to give the yellow monster a total crawl ratio of more than 100:1. "You mean you can run in low-range in two-wheel drive?"
"Sure can," Steve said in his matter-of-fact Marine manner.
Throughout the day, the skies alternated between blue with wisps of clouds, to foreboding gray clouds and chilly winds. Thankfully, the day we were wheeling on Flat Iron Mesa, we were spared any significant rain or disruptive wind.
Unfortunately, we were not quite as fortunate on our outing to the Moab Rim trail. Toward the end of the ride, the skies quickly went from serene blue, to gray, gusty and frigid. Right in the middle of our first attempt to do a video feature on Jesse Johnson's custom CJ, we were hit with a sudden frigid, dusty gust and a faceful of rain. It almost seemed as if it was Mother Nature's way of reminding us who was really boss.
Before coming to Moab, a co-worker of mine talked about his "Jeep moments." His dream of getting in a Jeep and escaping from the urban madness of Southern California. Until coming to the Easter Jeep Safari myself, I dismissed his daydream as a pleasant but distant bucolic fantasy. After coming to Moab and experiencing a week-long "Jeep Moment" for myself, I'm already envisioning my dream rig, right down to the armored corners and recessed LED taillights, to the spray-lined floor and fenders and double-low transfer case. Whether I can convince my fiancee of the practicality of said rig is another matter altogether. Maybe that turbodiesel 2.8 CRD could help convince her it's an "economy" car. Hey Jeep, just in case you're reading this, make mine a turquoise Rubicon Unlimited with the CRD and a six-speed.

Women in Sierra Leone have experienced atrocities during the war but are traditionally disempowered to influence change. Khadija Alia Bah of Conciliation Resources describes the plight of rural females in this article.
Read more
This article by Khadija Alia Bah of Conciliation Resources gives an overview of the harsh realities of war faced by women and girls in Sierra Leone.
It describes in particular the disproportionate effects of conflict on rural communities and females of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Many have to cope with economic hardship, rape and unwanted pregnancies. Girls are often captured and forced to be labourers or 'wives'. Further, sexually transmitted diseases are widespread but access to medical facilities is very poor and life in refugee camps is often precarious.
Sadly, such issues are not on the radar of policymakers because females traditionally lack voice and power. The article suggests further in-depth analysis to enable reconstruction and transformation.

Chinese GP 2012
Sunday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (4th): "Trying to get the balance right for the whole race was very tricky. In the end, fourth was not too bad; it wasn't the maximum, but it's very tight between the teams at the front. At some points of the race, I saw P13/ P14 on the board, so I have to be satisfied with fourth place. I made a few mistakes running wide trying to push onto the back straight, it's hard there as you can get onto the marbles. I think the strategy was good, but it's always a gamble with the three stop, as to what traffic there might be. Congratulations to Nico, he deserves the victory, and also to Mercedes. For me it's three fourths on the bounce now, it's good points and we leave here reasonably satisfied, but we need to keep boxing and keep improving."
Sebastian Vettel (5th): "I had no tyres left at the end of the race. Sitting in the car, I was reacting with brake balance, diff, everything to try and keep the tyres, but by the last few laps, I knew the only chance was trying to keep ahead of Kimi; I think he ran into the same sort of problem. We got some good points and it was a good recovery from 15th. Mercedes won pretty comfortably today, so well done to them. We were generally too slow on the straights, and we're losing time there; it made it difficult to pass other people. But overall, I'm pretty happy with fifth given the poor first lap. I missed out on the start, I wasn't entirely happy finding the revs and I lost the initial bit when the lights went off. Usually I'm pretty quick with that, but today I was one of the last ones. The first lap wasn't great, but with the strategy we managed to come back. I think the weekend was good for us, we learned a lot and hopefully we will take these lessons on board and go in the right direction for next week."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "That was very busy and action packed race. Ultimately from where we started, and where we were on the first lap, we faced some difficult strategic decisions. We were the first to stop with Mark, which was very aggressive. We stopped early with Sebastian and split the strategies at that point - Mark on a three-stop and Seb onto a two-stop and the race started to unfold. Our race pace was pretty strong and we got amongst the McLarens. Unfortunately, the front left tyre on Sebastian's car took a real hammering, possibly behind Kimi, and he didn't have anything left tyre-wise by the end of the race, but nonetheless having been fifteenth on the first lap, fifth is still a strong result. Mark also went onto a long last stint. He had a great scrap with Lewis, we got Mark track position to Lewis and he just lost out at the end there. Nonetheless, it was a good haul of points. Congratulations to Nico Rosberg and to Mercedes on their Grand Prix victory."
Cyril Dumont, Renault: "To finish fourth and fifth, I think unfortunately is a result we can be happy with, having started in sixth and eleventh. Sebastian was 14th after the first lap, so it was a pretty good recovery. The strategy was good, we did two stops with Sebastian but unfortunately the last stint was a bit too long and he didn't have any tyres remaining at the end. Mark made a solid race. We have to work on our qualifying pace now in order to start a bit higher on the grid."
Jenson Button (2nd): "Congratulations to Nico [Rosberg] today - he drove a faultless race. But who knows what we could have achieved if we'd had a clear run at him in the final stint? Our pace was very good and the aim was to come out ahead of that following pack of cars - which we would have done if we hadn't lost time in the pitstop - and chase him down and put him under pressure. The delay in the final stop was just one of those things though - all the other stops had been very strong this weekend, but that one in particular wasn't. The delay pushed me back into the traffic, which was a little bit of a shock, but the pace and consistency are there in the car and I was able to get back into second position, after a good battle and a satisfying pass on Sebastian [Vettel]. It's disappointing not to have been able to challenge for the win, but it was a fun race with tons of overtaking and lots of battling. More important, it's been a great day for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes because we're now leading both world championships. It's very important to be consistent, and it's nice to be back on the podium, but there are just a couple of little things we need to improve upon to make life even better for ourselves."
Lewis Hamilton (3rd): "I had a great race! And, although neither Jenson nor I was sadly able to win, I'm really happy that Nico took his first win today, but I'm also really pleased for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team: both Jenson and I were able to get back on the podium and score some more good points. It was a tough race, though: I'd love to have been able to challenge Nico, and I think maybe I'd have been able to if I'd started on the front row, but we still managed to move forwards from the start I had a lot of fun overtaking people too. I reckon I got everything out of the car that I possibly could. It's also a major positive to know that we've got a very consistent car. We just have to make sure we keep moving forwards, that's all. Mercedes AMG, Red Bull, Ferrari, Lotus and Sauber are all up there - that's a serious championship and it's going to make for great racing for the fans to watch. It's been a while since I was at the top of the drivers' world championship - but we've got to remain focused. I think if I just continue to work as I am then the wins will surely come, and I'll keep pushing for some better results in the future."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Nico drove a truly excellent race today, so first of all I want to say 'bravo' to him for taking his maiden grand prix victory. Well done, too, to Mercedes AMG, who were able to manage their car's tyre wear this afternoon better than we'd perhaps anticipated. As for Jenson and Lewis, well, they both drove brilliantly this afternoon too, coping with a three-stop strategy that demanded that they attack, and overtake, again and again and again throughout the race. That's never easy, and inevitably they both lost a bit of time on track in their efforts to make their passing manoeuvres stick, but they both kept at it and I'm sure the television spectacle was fantastic as a result. It was a tough race, but our strategy resulted in both our drivers getting onto the podium. Accordingly, we extended our lead in the constructors' world championship, whilst Lewis and Jenson now lie first and second in the drivers' championship. Would Jenson have been able to beat Nico if his final pitstop had gone more smoothly? Well, obviously, he'd have lost less time in the pitlane, and undoubtedly he'd have re-emerged onto the track with a clearer road in front of him; but, in all fairness, today was Nico's day, and we may not have been able to beat him even if Jenson's final pitstop had been an impeccably slick one. So, yes, at his 111th attempt, Nico fully deserved to win today. We've had three Grands Prix so far this year, and they've been won by three different drivers from three different teams. The performance differential between the fastest cars is minimal. It looks like we've got a great season ahead of us, doesn't it? Bring it on!"
Fernando Alonso (9th): "We knew this would be a difficult race and that's how it turned out. We were always in traffic, without an opportunity to exploit the car's potential and when you are behind other cars, the tyres get worn much more easily. Choosing to do three stops clearly meant we would be forced to do some overtaking, but with the top speed we had, it turned out to be almost impossible on the main straight, so I had to invent some overtaking moves at other points on the track, where I could make better use of the car. Obviously, this does not leave me very optimistic for Bahrain, on a track where traction and speed are vital, exactly the areas where we are weakest. Once again next week it will be mainly a case of damage limitation. I don't want to think of the classification because the priority is to improve the performance of the F2012. This does not mean however, that I have lost hope, quite the contrary. Last year, we believed all the way to Spa and there's no reason not to at the moment, when we are third in the classification, just eight points off the leader. Sure, we definitely need to make a good step forward to make the car quicker. In Spain we will have major updates but so will the others and so it's not that I'm expecting a miracle of going one second quicker than the others."
Felipe Massa (13th): "I tried to do my best in a very close fought race. Sure, thirteenth place is not something I can be happy about, but I think that as far as my race was concerned, this was a step forward compared to the first two races of the season. At least I managed to run a normal race and I know I did everything that I could. The decision to make two stops was the right one, given my position, but maybe, in the light of how the race went, it would have been better to stop at different times: however, that's easy to say now, after the chequered flag. Each and every time I found myself in traffic and paid for the lack of top speed, one of the major problems with our car at the moment. The Sakhir circuit, for the next round of the championship, does not look like being very favourable for us, given how things have gone so far. For me, it is a race where I have always done well, but I'm not under any illusions. As always, we will try and give it our best shot."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "There's no point denying we are disappointed. We had the potential to get a better result than this, but we did not manage it. The lack of top speed, one of the weak points of this F2012, prevented Fernando especially of making the most of a strategy, which at one point, had put him in a situation where he could fight for a place in the top five. Felipe went for a two stopper, counting on others having higher tyre degradation, but this only turned out to be the case for a few cars. It was quite an unusual race, as indeed was qualifying, which still delivered some surprises compared to what was being predicted and I think it is worth analysing the way it went in depth to try and understand how best to tackle the next round. In Bahrain we will again have to be racing on the defensive but that doesn't mean we will go there in a resigned state of mind. We have seen three different winners in three races, with performance levels of some cars changing very significantly from race to race. At this stage, we must do the maximum on track and exploit every opportunity, but the most important work is that done in Maranello, especially on the aerodynamic development. We need to accelerate the introduction of updates and change gear. This is very long and unpredictable championship, where things can change very quickly. Finally, I'd like to congratulate Nico Rosberg on his first win in Formula 1 and Mercedes for a return to victory after a gap of 57 years."
Pat Fry: "Definitely an interesting race for the spectators, but very frustrating for us. Traffic was the decisive factor in this race, which was easily predictable, given where our cars were on the grid. We split the strategies, also in light of the fact that with Felipe, we could choose which type of tyre he could start on. Seeing where we came out of the third pit stop with Fernando - alongside Hamilton, I think the choice was the right one, but we will analyse the way the race played out carefully to understand if we could have done anything differently. Clearly today, we paid a very heavy price for the lack of a good top speed on a track like this. The result does not represent the car's true potential in race configuration but we have to accept it. We lack performance, we know it, but there is no point in beating ourselves up over it: rather we need to concentrate all our efforts on improving car performance. Next week in Bahrain we won't have any particularly significant updates, so we cannot expect a miracle: we must try and squeeze the maximum out of what we have to work with. I want to finish on a positive note, complimenting the pit stop guys, who once again today did a great job, as the times can testify."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (1st): "This is a very special moment for me. The whole weekend went perfectly. My first pole position, now my first win in Formula One - it really is fantastic. But it's not only this; it's the first win for the new Silver Arrow and for this great team. That is really special for me. Thanks to everybody in the team, here in China and in our factories in Brackley and Brixworth. It makes me very proud that we have improved the car so quickly. I will never forget this race, and the last 20 laps felt as long as if I was racing in the Le Mans 24 Hours! But then crossing the line was so intense. We will enjoy this success, but our feet are still on the ground. We are still not where we want to be, we are still working hard to understand the car and the tyres in all conditions, and we will keep pushing to improve our race pace even further. We will see how that works out in Bahrain."
Michael Schumacher (DNF, Wheel nut): "First of all, congratulations to the whole team, to Mercedes-Benz and of course to Nico who achieved a perfect victory from start to finish. He did a great job today and yesterday, and I am happy for him. As for my race, my right front tyre got loose following my first pit stop. As I did not want to cause any bigger damage to the car, I stopped on the grass. I felt there was something wrong immediately and especially in turn three, when I put pressure on the right side of the car. Up until then I had a controlled race I'd say, keeping the others behind me and the tyres together. Of course, this was an unfortunate ending to what could have been a nice race, and I feel sorry for the guys, who always work so hard and give their best. But we all know that's part of the game."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "This is a truly special and historic day. I am so delighted for Nico, he has deserved to take his first victory several times, and has now done so by driving a perfectly judged race from pole position. I am excited to see how he develops now he has that win under his belt. Commiserations to Michael, who was driving a controlled race in second position, but was forced to retire after his pit stop. However, he is the first man to say that we win and lose as a team, and his performances this year prove that he is equally capable of climbing to the top step of the podium. Heartfelt congratulations to all our team here at the track, in Brackley and in Brixworth; they have put tremendous effort into this project, and we are now starting to see the rewards for their dedication and expertise. Finally, I must thank all our colleagues at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart and around the world - their support has been unstinting, and we are proud to deliver the first victory for a works Silver Arrow car in 57 years. I was just one year old when Juan Manuel Fangio won in Monza in 1955 - but this victory is something I will remember, and savour, for a very long time indeed!"
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "What a sensational victory from Nico and our team! It was unbelievable how Nico drove and controlled the race from lap one to 56. A big thank you to everybody in Brackley, Brixworth, Stuttgart, Fellbach, Unterturkheim and Mohringen for all their relentless work and their belief in our capabilities and that we can make it. Nico's performance was superb today, the team executed a great two-stop strategy, and Nico and his car managed the tyres very well. It was a shame for Michael, who dropped out after his first pit stop because of a problem with the right front wheel; he missed out on a possible very good podium result. It was particularly sweet to see Jenson and Lewis on the podium - Mercedes Power to the power of three!"
Romain Grosjean (6th): "It was a very good race, I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I made a little mistake fighting with Mark (Webber) but overall it was a good performance. The car felt great and the team did an amazing job to give us such a big improvement from Friday, so I'm especially happy for the guys to be able to finish the race and get some good points on the board. To be up there fighting with McLaren and Red Bull is a great feeling and I'm happy to have got my season started properly. We've had high hopes since P3 on the grid in Melbourne, and now after a few setbacks it's time to aim higher. There's always room to improve and hopefully from here we can aim for the top five and eventually podiums. We'll take things step by step but I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season ahead."
Kimi Raikkonen (14th): "We tried to run two stops as it looked to be the fastest strategy and up until the last ten laps it was looking good, but we ran out of tyre performance at the end. I was stuck behind Felipe (Massa) for quite a while and couldn't get past as I wasn't fast enough in the right parts of the track to make a move. Even if I'd got past I don't think it would have made the greatest amount of difference to the final result. We had good pace in the race, we tried a different strategy and it didn't pay off today; it's as simple as that."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "It is getting more frustrating for us as we are clearly very close to achieving a very good result. Twelve laps before the end of today's race we had one car in P2 and one car in P5 with no more pit stops to go. Unfortunately, we were a little bit too aggressive with our strategy. As soon as we understood some cars were doing three stops it was clear there was potential for us to finish on the podium, but we were not expecting the tyre wear to be as high as it was. For Romain the strategy worked; for Kimi it did not. The positives from this weekend are that we continue to show good qualifying and race pace with the E20, and we were capable of fighting for a podium finish with Kimi. Also, it was a very good first full race for Romain. One slow stop and one mistake when fighting with Mark (Webber) for position meaning he ran on the marbles cost him two positions. He recovered very well from this and his pace was very consistent."
Alan Permane, Director of Trackside Operations: "Ten laps before the end of the race, Kimi's tyres were nearing the end of their life and unfortunately he got on the marbles when Sebastian (Vettel) passed. That was the end of his race effectively as he lost ten places over the course of a lap. We'll dissect the data and see if a three stop would have been better for us, but everything before the race suggested a two-stop was the way to go, and this approach benefitted Romain. Without the gamble we took with Kimi we wouldn't have been running in second position so that was the risk we took. I'm happy for Romain to finish his first race of the season. To go from tenth to sixth - racing with the cars of the calibre he was - showed a measured performance so it looks good for the future. We've learn a lot this weekend and hopefully we head to Bahrain with an improved car and better understanding of this year's tyres."
Riccardo Penteado, Engine Support Leader: "Congratulations to Romain on his first points of the season. It was a shame that Kimi could not get a double points finish, but the speed of the package is fundamentally there. Engine-wise we've had a trouble free weekend, which is always positive at this type of track where the unit gets a workout over the entire rev range. Driveability through the slow corners was good and the top speed was reasonable, which allowed Romain to defend his position in the closing laps from the Williams and get some decent points for the team today."
Force India-Mercedes
Paul di Resta (12th): "It was an extremely close race today and although we were able to keep ourselves in the hunt, we were just missing the pace to catch people and make up any more ground. So it was a bit like the race in Australia where there were lots of cars running very close to each other and a lot of guys nursing their tyres. I think we made some good calls with the tyres and there were lots of different strategies playing out around us. It was also incredibly slippery offline with the marbles making things very tricky. So we go away from here knowing that we are not too far away from the other teams and determined to get the car dialled in nicely for Bahrain next week."
Nico Hulkenberg (15th): "I didn't get a great start because there was a lot of wheelspin and I lost a few places straight away. Then I picked up some damage to my front wing on the first lap. I don't think I hit anybody, but there was a lot of debris flying around going into turn one so maybe that's when it happened. That made the first stint very difficult because there was massive understeer and I had to change the nose at my first stop. We targeted a two-stop strategy, which I think was the right choice because our pace was strong towards the end of the race and I closed up on the main pack, but I think we lost too much at the start to make a real impact in the race."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "We always felt that scoring points in today's race would need an element of luck or attrition, but as it was we saw almost 100% reliability. Paul was in the mix for most of the race, fighting to get in the top ten and ending up just under eight seconds from seventh place, and just 22 seconds off second place, which shows how competitive the field was today. Nico's race was compromised by a poor getaway and the front wing damage, but we take encouragement from the pace he showed, especially towards the end of the race. We know that our race pace relative to our midfield rivals is not too far away and hopefully we can continue to close the performance gap quickly. "
Kamui Kobayashi (10th): "Of course after what we did in qualifying the race result is disappointing. I'm not really sure what happened at the start, my car just didn't move, it was a bit strange and I lost positions immediately. Then I was stuck in traffic for most of the time, also we made the second pit stop a bit late and the tyres had gone. Quite often we have recovered in the race from a bad qualifying, but today it was the other way round. So we have proven we can be strong in both qualifying and race, and next time we will put this all together."
Sergio Perez (11th): "I must say I am very disappointed. I had a very good start, and for the entire first stint it really looked to be going very well for me. But then when I picked up the medium compound tyres I lost a lot of performance from lap 17 onwards. Actually I feel I would have been better off with a three stop strategy, but you never know. The pit stops as such were good, but at both I lost time at the launch because we had a problem with the clutch. However, this is racing and we will do better next time."
Monisha Kaltenborn, CEO, Team Principal: "We are obviously disappointed with this result. After our strong qualifying we expected more. However, we were not fast enough, and our strategy didn't work out - both our drivers got stuck in traffic. For the fans it was a very exciting race with a lot of overtaking right up to the end, which shows how fierce the competition is. Congratulations to Nico Rosberg and Mercedes for a well deserved victory."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "This was definitely not the race we were expecting, hence we are disappointed. A number of factors didn't go the way we wanted. First of all Kamui had a poor start, then his tyres wore out earlier than expected, and he had to pit earlier than planned. He then got stuck in traffic. Initially we had a three stop strategy for both cars, but then we didn't want Sergio to have the same problem and we reverted him to two stops, which was still a good strategy. But then we lost time at the first pit stop with a clutch problem, this cost him two positions and, as the final point, we expected overtaking to be easier for our cars, which eventually didn't happen. All these factors led to a disappointing result."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jean-Eric Vergne (16th): "We decided to change some elements on the car that had not worked well up to qualifying, which is why I started from pit lane, so my set-up for the race was more similar to what we had in Melbourne and Sepang. I did not have high hopes of doing much, starting from the back, but the important thing was to see how the car performed. It was pretty good, so I expect we will start with it like that in Bahrain and hopefully be able to have a better race result. Today's race had some enjoyable moments as I passed a few cars, but it was a bit short for me, as a few more laps and I think I could have got ahead of the two guys in front of me.
Daniel Ricciardo (17th): "My start off the line was okay, but I got a bit squeezed around the outside at Turn 1 and lost what I had gained earlier. Then, on the same lap, I went round some debris on the track at Turn 6 and lost another place. In fact, my whole first stint was not very good and we were struggling to overtake. In the second stint, it went slightly better and the last one better still, but the pace today was not good enough to deliver anything better."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "As Jean-Eric did not have a particularly good qualifying, we decided to make changes to his car set-up and configuration under Parc Ferme rules, which of course involved having to start from the pit lane. Today, tyres were the key factor for everyone and we saw that aspect produce some dramatic racing. In our case, we opted to put our two drivers on different strategies, Daniel using three sets and Jean-Eric four. However, we have been lacking pace since the start of the weekend and therefore did not make much progress up the order, with the two cars finishing 16th and 17th. Having run the two cars in different configurations to one another today, we will now analyse carefully the cable data to work on producing the best possible set-up for next weekend's race in Bahrain, where I believe we will be capable of getting a better result."
Bruno Senna (7th): "It was a great result for the team to finish with two cars in the points today. It was a tough race and tyre wear was high. Our strategy worked for us today but we're still learning and improving together. We aim to continue to get better throughout the next few races."
Pastor Maldonado (8th): "It was very tough today. I lost places at the start and it was difficult to overtake but we had good pace. We were able to fight all the way to the end so I'm happy to get some points. It was a great result for the team."
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: "I am so happy for the whole team. It is a an excellent result to get both cars into the points, the culmination of everyone's hard work and dedication, coupled with great drives by both drivers to manage their tyres and make a two-stop strategy work."
Laurent Debout, Renault: "We're all delighted to get a double points finish today, something we've promised since the start of the season. Pastor's performance to keep his eighth place was great to watch, he's a real fighter, while Bruno kept his head down and got on with the job in hand and did all that was asked of him. Getting the points on merit and by racing shows the engine-chassis package is really working well so far this season."
Vitaly Petrov (18th): "I am really pleased with my performance today. I think we got as much out of the car as we could and the fact we were on the same lap as the leaders right up until the final lap is a very positive sign. We brought some updates here and they've worked out pretty well - the key for us is to keep pushing, keep bringing new parts to the car and make sure we maintain the momentum we are building up."
Heikki Kovalainen (23rd): "I had a good start, getting up to 16th off the line and then was running pretty well for the first stint on the options. We pitted on lap 13 and went to the primes which held up well until lap 30 but then as soon as we made the second stop I could feel an issue with the right rear so we had to stop again immediately which was basically the end of my race. This hasn't been our strongest weekend but with the next race back-to-back with China we can look to bounce back straight away, so we'll regroup in Bahrain and look to put in a stronger weekend there."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "The whole team did very well today and for me that was one of our most competitive races since we joined Formula 1. There were no safety cars and yet we were incredibly close to finishing on the same lap as the leader. Our race pace was good on both cars - unfortunately we let Heikki down during his second pitstop but apart from that it was another good day in the growth of this team. We have also taken another step forward in the direction of the overall business, with Mark Smith assuming his position on the pitwall today and Mike's role as our Group Chief Technical Officer giving us a clear vision on where we are taking both the F1 team and our roadcar and technical operations. We also have John Iley starting with us in the next couple of weeks to boost our capabilities back at the factory, and the wind tunnel operations will be going 24/7 in the next couple of months. With all of this I feel very optimistic about the future and leave China knowing we are going in the right direction."
Mark Smith, Technical Director: "Today's race was pretty tough, but I am pleased with the way both drivers kept pushing and I think we have learnt some very useful lessons here in China. We opted to start both cars on the soft tyres and our pace in the early laps was good. Both drivers switched to the medium compounds for their second stops and we were easily pulling away from the cars behind but then when Heikki stopped on lap 30 he felt a problem with the rear of the car as soon as he pulled out of the pitlane so had to do a very slow lap and come back in. Vitaly had a problem free afternoon and was putting in good lap times, staying on the lead lap until almost the final lap and with every race he is growing more and more confident in the car and with the team. Now we have another week of hard work ahead of us so we will do our best to make the most of the different conditions we will face in Bahrain and aim to get back to where we know we should be."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "We saw again today that our pace in the races is pretty good. Obviously the issue Heikki had was a shame, but until that point both he and Vitaly were making good use of the engine strategies we gave them, easily passing the slower cars and recording good lap times with no issues on our side."
Pedro de la Rosa (21st): "I'm happy with the race we did. It's true that the start wasn't great but I was able to maintain a good rhythm afterwards, especially with the medium tyres. We had an interesting fight with Kovalainen, which is always stimulating, and at the start we had the Marussias in our sights during various laps. Although I wasn't able to catch them in the race, we've got them right there and with a little bit of progress I'm confident we can get ahead of them. We leave here with a feeling that we've taken an important stride and that we're right in the fight. The overall assessment is that we've progressed in every aspect, the pit stops are better every time, our rhythm is improving and the team is more of a unit. It will be difficult to see much of a difference in Bahrain because there is no time to introduce upgrades but we can progress in terms of teamwork and set-up."
Narain Karthikeyan (22nd): "My start was also quite poor, so we still have to do some work on the start system because it's still new. It was quite difficult to drive on the option tyres because we had a problem and the car was moving a lot on the straight, we are yet to identify what the reason was for that so we'll have to look into it and make sure we overcome it. But on the primes the car balance was much better and it was easy to drive. We set out to finish the race this weekend in China and we've achieved it, so we have to be pleased about that. Now we hope to progress a little bit more in Bahrain next week."
Luis Perez-Sala: "We're satisfied because we've met the targets we set for this Grand Prix. This was mainly to finish the race with both cars but there are many other things that have improved in this race with regards to the last one. The rhythm of both drivers was good and the tyre changes worked well. It was good for us that it wasn't too hot and there's no doubt that we still have to polish many things but I'm very happy with the work done by the drivers and the rest of the team. I congratulate them but we mustn't relax because in only a few days we've got the next Grand Prix in Bahrain and it won't be easy."
Timo Glock (19th): "It wasn't a straightforward race for me. The start was good and I could get in front of a couple of other cars, but they got by again with the DRS and KERS. Then I was racing with my team-mate and I was able to pull out a bit of a gap from him. For some reason though, my front left tyre just dropped away too early each time. Charles seemed to have the better car over the race and he was able to close the gap. I had to come in early, but I had some good in and out laps and could use the tyre well. In the second stint I just managed the gap to him and helped the tyre over the distance, but it dropped again and I had a lot of understeer. From the second stop I had good pace and could open the gap again until the blue flags started to come out. Suddenly the engine dropped as I was low on fuel, so I had to cruise in 6th and 7th gears and my focus then was getting the car home. Some things to look at and learn from the race because they held us back quite a bit. On the positive side, this means there is a lot more to come from the car. Well done to the team. A good job again, especially in the pits today."
Charles Pic (20th): "It was a good race for me I think. We have reduced the gap to the Caterham cars yet again, so this is very good. I was also lapping round the same pace as Timo today, so again this is another step forward for me. We have to keep this up now and continue pushing because the potential is there in the car for sure. I think we can do some good work with the strategy because, now we have reduced the gap, maybe we can try some other things to get ahead on the track. It has been another good weekend for me so thanks to the team and my crew, who have all done a great job. I hope to see another improvement in Bahrain next weekend where I will be racing on a circuit that I know for the first time this season."
John Booth, Team Principal: "We are naturally very pleased with how the weekend has gone for us again here in Shanghai. To bring both cars home in their third consecutive race is very encouraging, as is the pace of the cars, which is improving with every race. We are also delighted to still hold 10th place in the Constructors' Championship after the third Grand Prix, which provides a further boost to the team, the drivers and our Partners. There's so much to be pleased about at the moment but we have to remain focused because there is a lot of work to do, some real potential in the package and a few areas where we can continue to improve as a team. All credit to everyone trackside and back at the factory though. It has been very rewarding watching the race performances in particular unfold and we can feel proud of how far we've come in such a short space of time. The races ahead look very exciting too as Timo now has a car he can work with and we wait with eager anticipation to see how Charles will perform at circuits he is better acquainted with."

Things That Probably Shouldn't Bug the Crap Out of Me… But Do
It turns out I'm very easily irritated.
By no means all-inclusive, please peruse the following list and attempt to limit my exposure to the said items unless you would like to a) see my squinty-eyed look of mild outrage (best case) or b) hear all about it in virulent, hyperbolic terms (worst).
1. The expression "Sunday Funday."
2. Tom Cruise
3. Jujubes or any kind of candy whose only virtue seems to be getting stuck in your molars for three to six hours.
4. Women who pee (or worse) on the seat… and leave it there. WHAT IS THIS, LADIES!? Sure, it happens to all of us from time to time, but for crying out loud: take a little peek while you're pulling yourself together and wipe it up already.
5. People who get on Facebook and detail every boring, excruciating detail of their morning/workday/dinner/date/dream.
6. #Hashtags.
7. The combination of #4 and #5. When properly melded, they make me want to bite down hard on something… or someone.
8. Any commonly known and loved side dish – mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, rice pilaf – that has been inexplicably and prepared spicy hot without warning. Last time I checked, cayenne is not one of the four food groups.This is presumably done by cooking novices who mistake "heat" for "flavor," but it's still inexcusable, People Who Made the Innocent-Looking Taste Bud Destroyingly Hot Thanksgiving Green Bean Casserole.
9. The expression "me time."
10. Anna Kendrick (an actress who's not quite famous but in far too many flicks for my taste and whom for no real reason I can put my finger on, I find incredibly hard to tolerate. If she and Cruise ever make a movie, I may just be forced to bomb the opening.)
11. Anyone who thinks they're getting any portion of my heavily buttered movie theater popcorn. Get yer grubby paw outta there.
12. Dirty diapers on the ground in public places. How does this even happen? Do you throw it out of your moving car or save it up to toss in the Safeway parking lot later or what?
13. People who narrate their inner monologue out loud. Unless you're expressly talking to me, I don't need to know.
14. Boxes of chocolate that don't come with a decoder ring, thus gravely upping the chances that I inadvertently bite into the much-dreaded maple one.
15. Spam email lists I cannot unjoin no matter how many times I opt out.
16. Men who leave the seat up at my place. Do what you want in your own hovel, but put it all down – lid included – at mine. I will give you a candy-coated tale about how this is because the dog likes to drink out of the toilet (he does), but deep down I experience this as some kind of flagrant show of disrespect and that actually has nothing to do with my dog. Lose points at your own peril.
17. Guzzlers. You offer them a drink from your water bottle and they drain it down to the last drop like a frat boy with a beer bong. You know who you are.
18. The expression LOL.
19. People who've already read the book or seen the movie and detail all the spoiler moments in the first three minutes even though you didn't ask them to clarify anything.
20.Laundromats. They're so depressing, I try to avert my eyes when I walk by them. Matt Groening once summarized the spirit of laundromats perfectly with a sign on the wall of Jeff and Akbar's: "Suicides No Longer Permitted On Premises."
21. People who gripe about petty things.
Nah. Just kidding.

Small ball pushes Red Sox into ALCS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- On a night when he was hit by a pitch twice, Shane Victorino delivered the biggest hit of all.
Victorino's infield single off Joel Peralta capped a two-run seventh inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 Tuesday at Tropicana Field to win the best-of-five American League Division Series in four games.
Boston will face the Detroit Tigers or the Oakland A's in the AL Championship Series beginning at Fenway Park on Saturday. Detroit plays at Oakland in the decisive fifth game of the other ALDS on Thursday.
In their fifth elimination game in 10 games, the Rays finally ran out of escapes, as they were doomed by a costly wild pitch.
The Red Sox were limited to three hits over the first six innings by a committee of Rays pitchers, but they produced three more to score twice in the seventh and take a 2-1 lead. A wild pitch from reliever Joel Peralta was their most potent weapon, however.
Rookie Xander Bogaerts drew a walk in his first postseason plate appearance with one out against Jake McGee, and he moved to third with two outs on a Jacoby Ellsbury single. Peralta entered to face Shane Victorino, but he unleashed a wild pitch that Game 3 hero Jose Lobaton couldn't corral, scoring Bogaerts and tying the game at 1.
Ellsbury, who was attempting to steal second on the play, raced all the way to third, and he scored to put Boston in front when Victorino nubbed a single to shortstop.
"I knew it was going to be a tough at-bat with Peralta in the game. I haven't had much success against him," Victorino said. "I was telling myself, 'Hey, put this ball in play whatever way you can. Just try to make something happen.' I came out on the good end, with a broken-bat infield hit. I was able to beat it out.
"That's the kind of things you look back on and talk about executing and doing the little things and doing whatever it takes to win."
McGee (0-1) was charged with two runs on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.
Reliever Craig Breslow (1-0) gave the Red Sox 1 2/3 crucial innings, striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh after Boston took the lead. He allowed one hit and struck out four.
Koji Uehara, who surrendered Lobaton's game-winning homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of Game 3 on Monday, entered with two outs in the eighth and a runner on first Tuesday. He recorded the last four outs to earn the save.
Boston added an insurance run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Dustin Pedroia after Fernando Rodney loaded the bases with two walks and a hit batter.
Red Sox starter Jake Peavy, a trade-deadline pickup acquired for these types of games, held the Rays to three hits through the first five innings but was removed after allowing the first run of the game in the sixth.
Yunel Escobar led off the sixth with a double to right and scored with one out on a David Dejesus single to right.
"I look at the way we showed grit in the (elimination) games we won," Rays second baseman Ben Zobrist said. "We got it done four straight times."
Peavy allowed a run on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five without walking a batter. None of the four Red Sox pitchers issued a walk.
The nine pitchers Tampa Bay used walked a total of eight.
Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson was lifted without recording an out in the second inning, though he did not give up a run.
Rays manager Joe Maddon began churning through his bullpen, matching arms to situations -- including using starter Matt Moore for two innings. Maddon's plan worked to perfection until Bogaerts was inserted as a pinch hitter for Stephen Drew in the eighth, and the Boston rookie had the composure to work back from a 1-2 count to draw a critical walk.
"It was there. It was all there," Maddon said. "The tipping point might have been the walk to Bogaerts. They throw him up, he had a 1 2 count, we walk him. And that's pretty much how that whole thing began to roll. And then the wild pitch ... That's what put it in their favor. I thought it was in our abilities."
NOTES: Boston will play in the ALCS for the fifth time in the 12 seasons. ... The Rays set a postseason record by using nine pitchers in a nine-inning games. ... Tampa Bay went 5-for-29 (.172) with runners in scoring position in the series. ... Ellsbury stole a base in all four games of the series. ... Rays RF Wil Myers returned to the lineup a night after being removed in the eighth inning and receiving intravenous fluids for leg cramps. ... Victorino was hit by a pitch four times in the series, an ALDS record. He led the AL with 18 HBPs this season. ... LF Daniel Nava was caught stealing in the eighth, snapping Boston's streak at 45 consecutive successful attempts. ... All six Boston hits were singles. It was the Red Sox first postseason win without an extra-base hit since Game 1 of the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets.

More than a few Bills players are fuming over the play on which Jackson was injured, specifically the extracarricular antics of Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes, who made a scene after delivering the fourth-quarter hit.
"Yeah, he'll get his," Bills backup running back Tashard Choice told The Associated Press on Monday. "I don't like to see nobody get hurt, and then on top of that, (Spikes) making fun of him while he's on the ground."
The Bills were offended to watch Spikes flex his arm and get mouthy with Jackson and several of his teammates. Spikes wasn't penalized on the play, but the showboating led Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to call the linebacker a "punk."
You know you've upset a Harvard man when he's throwing around that type of language.
