Here's the latest of our news bulletins from the ongoing crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
State of the Fukushima Reactors
A new leak of contaminated water has been found at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Officials for TEPCO, the plant's operator, say the water is leaking from a 30-centimeter opening on the first floor of the reactor #3 building and into the basement. "The leaked water is highly likely to have come from the water that was already used to cool fuel rods, and not from leaked rainwater or cooling water (on its way to the reactor)," a TEPCO official said. The company used a robot to take a water sample as radiation levels are too high inside the building for humans. The sample measured 2.4 million Becquerels per liter of radioactive cesium and 24 million Becquerels per liter for beta-ray emitting substances including strontium. Strontium accumulates in human bones and has been linked to cancer. When the leak began and how much water has leaked is currently unknown.
Meanwhile, the work continues to remove nuclear fuel from the storage pool in the unstable reactor #4 building and place it in a more secure location. As of January 20, 198 of the 1,533 fuel assembles have been transferred.
TEPCO president Naomi Hirose announced this week that his company plans to spend 2.67 trillion yen in an attempt to rebuild its fortunes. "For the sake of Fukushima's reconstruction, we have to seek growth. To fulfill our responsibilities in Fukushima, we will need a lot of money and are being granted a goodly amount of the government's money. We have to repay it by improving corporate value," he said. To boost the company's growth, it is looking to invest in shale gas projects, "upstream energy projects and overseas electricity businesses", as well as restarting the reactors at its currently idle Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant.
Mr Hirose also said that although he opposed the idea, setting up a separate entity to deal with the Fukushima clean up could and would be contingent on a successful decommissioning process - if worker shortages and working conditions improved. "Paying compensation (to evacuees), decontamination, and the work at the Fukushima plant; there is a lot of work to be done ... We have to continue doing this, while maintaining the workers' safety, their sense of responsibility, duty and keeping up their morale," he said.
Other Nuclear News in Japan
Former Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa is to pledge to set out plans for a phase out of nuclear power in Japan by 2020 in his bid to become governor of Tokyo in the forthcoming election according to reports. "By making 2020 his target year, he will change Tokyo and Japan, with the focus on a complete end to nuclear energy. Japan will never be able to restart nuclear reactors. No restart of reactors means 'zero' nuclear power generation." said Shusei Tanaka, Mr Hosowaka's former special adviser. Mr Hosowaka, who has the support of another former prime minister, the still-popular Junichiro Koizumi, said: "Japan has faced many problems, and the issue of nuclear power generation leads to the fate of this country." Yet another former prime minister, Naoto Kan, who was in office at the time of the catastrophic March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, calls Mr Hosowaka "a nightmare for the [ruling] Liberal Democratic Party."
Elsewhere, anti-nuclear sentiment was a factor in the re-election of Katsunobu Sakurai, the mayor of Minamisoma in Fukushima prefecture. ''I am aspiring to realize a nuclear-free society and build a Minamisoma that we can boast about to the world,'' said Mr Sakurai on the news of his victory. His actions in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster saw him named one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in 2011.
Meanwhile, nearly one third of Japan's local assemblies have called for an end to nuclear power in the country. Statements from 455 assemblies have been submitted to the country's parliament. As well as calling for the abolition of nuclear, the statements also call for the wider adoption of renewable energy technologies. The Kochi municipal assembly called for a "review of dependence on nuclear power plants whose safety is not established," the Kunitachi municipal assembly for a "switch to a society not relying on nuclear power," and the Fukaya municipal assembly for an "immediate halt to nuclear power generation." Such statements are expressions of opinion submitted to the Diet but are not legally binding.
Reactor Restarts
Japan's Industry minister Toshimitsu Motegi has denied that consumers will see electricity rates rise if TEPCO is unsuccessful in restarting idle reactors at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. "TEPCO has said it will make every effort (before seeking electricity rate hikes), such as cost-cutting, if the resumption of the plant falls behind schedule," he said. TEPCO is hoping to receive permission from the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) to restart the reactors in July this year.
Meanwhile, NRA investigators are reinvestigating the Tsuruga nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture after the watchdog found last May that one of the plant's reactors is sitting on an active fault and therefore unlikely to ever be restarted. In July last year, Japan Atomic Power, the plant's operator, issued a report last July saying the reactor is not built on a fault.
Radiation Contamination, Including Human Exposure
The Fukushima Prefecture Dental Association along with other dental associations across Japan is to begin a large-scale study into whether the radioactive isotope strontium-90 has accumulated in children's teeth in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. As stated above, strontium accumulates in human bones and has been linked to cancer. To begin with, children's teeth with be tested for radioactive cesium and other isotopes with tests for strontium conducted if these readings are found to be high. The study hopes to examine the teeth of 1,000-2,000 children in the next financial year. "We'd like to provide a source of relief by disclosing the research data," said Hitoshi Unno, executive director of the dental association. "Based on past radiation data, any detected amount would be extremely small. If that is proved by the research, people will feel relief. I want the researchers to take the time to explain the results to the children whose teeth will be examined," said Professor Noboru Takamura, a radiation specialist at Nagasaki University.
Radioactive Waste Disposal
Senior Vice Minister Shinji Inoue from Japan's Environment Ministry has visited three municipalities being considered as storage sites for radioactive debris from the Fukushima cleanup operation to ask their permission to begin geological surveys. The mayors of two of the municipalities, Kami and Kurihara, have expressed concerns about the selection process. Kami's mayor, Hirobumi Inomata says 1 million tourists visit a mountain nearby despite the ministry saying tourist attractions visited by more than 500,000 a year should be exempt for storing radioactive waste. Mayor of Kurihara City, Isamu Sato, said water flowing from a site there may run into a reservoir. (Source: NHK)

Justin, Do you read your comments???
Tepco lied,it's 2000 times more than 1st reported. You will see they indeed had and how much is still being put in our ocean.
They lied to our Navy as well and why the sailors are suing them. that too you can google. Their charts or measurements are a lie too.

I don't know what has happened at all to greenpeace. What happened? Where is the activism? seems you are being run by corporate bods. Fukushima shouldn't be piffly little updates of the tone' oh here is the weather', this is a potential extinction event. We truly are doomed. I hope all involved in keeping this under the radar and away from the general public are disproportionately affected by the pollution and negative effects of such fukushima spews out.

Dear Haran99, Greenpeace is still on top of this all. Not only our very dedicated Japanese staff, which is in daily contact with victims and experts and on the daily data streams, but also our world-wide team of nuclear campaigners and experts. That is one of the reasons that we concentrate on what is important and don't want to see hoaxes and exaggerations diverting attention too much.
Fukushima and nuclear power play an important role in our energy campaigning and we try to give it the right position in the framework of events. This is not an extinction event - not even when Tokio might have to be evacuated after another earthquake would collapse the unit 4 fuel pool. But Fukushima is a very severe ongoing catastrophe - for the victims and indeed for the ocean environment directly around the plant.
We also draw the relation to what are truly extinction events like climate change and we campaign therefore also on the failing Japanese government answer on Fukushima, which focuses on more fossil fuels and more nuclear instead of an energy [r]evolution.

What if I told you that there is an alternative energy that can provide the large scale energy demands of modern industry without any of the dangers of nuclear. How about one with roughly 1/12 the footprint of even traditional solar and/or wind. A power source that is completely immune to earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes or any other Earthly catastrophe. And finally what if I told you that this power was fully vetted and found feasible over thirty years ago and then never pursued.
What is this miracle power you ask? Space Based Solar Power. We place unmanned solar generating satellites in geosynchronous orbit and beam the power down to Earth via diffuse microwaves which are picked up by passive rectennas on Earth.
An even greater benefit is that most of the parts are in space where there are no environments to impact, no animals to endanger and no habitats to displace.
Is it expensive? Yes, but once in place it is like a bridge or hydroelectric dam essentially there forever with even lower maintenance costs. And let's ask the people of Japan just how much nuclear has already cost them?
No, you can't make a "death Ray" with it!
Why hasn't it been done? Because once the people understand that there's free electricity in gigantic amounts available from space the scarcity this socioeconomic system is based on will disappear and rich people can't have this.
I believe we only confront limitations and scarcity here on Earth and once we get into space in a more meaningful way the bounties of the solar system will be ours.

Bunnies everywhere
I hope that everyone gets to have some crafty fun this weekend. The way that the weather has been here, one minute it's nice and sunny and the next it is pouring rain, then back again. That makes it kinda hard to plan whether I'll get to do some outdoor as well as indoor activities. Though both will have to wait until I get back home from work this evening in any case.
So I have another Easter card to share and this one is all for the boys. It was time to ink up sweet little Masa from Sister Stamps because I thought the Doodlebug baby boy papers would actually work nicely for a more masculine colored spring card and I couldn't wait to pair up the two. The scale of the super small print in the 6x6 pad also worked fantastic for paper piecing his kimono. Add a bit of shading with my Copics and Masa was a quick one to color. I also couldn't resist adding a couple of extra bunny friends to the scene. The little leaning one on the left is part of the Akemi stamp that I just selectively inked up. The one on the far right was created by mirror stamping Masa's bunny onto an acrylic block then transferring that image to cardstock so that he was facing the opposite direction from the original stamp. Because most of my time and effort went into coloring up the scene, the card layout was kept very clean and simple.
And with that I will bid you adieu for the day. XOXO
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It
paper- Doodlebug (Snips&Snails)
stamps- Sister Stamps (Masa and Akemi), Studio G (sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black, Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress and Colorbox creamy brown
Pebbles i candy dots
Copic markers:
skin- E000, E00, E11, R00, R20
hair- C5, C7, C9
clothes- E57, E59, Y13, Y21, Y26, B21, B24, B28
basket/eggs- E31, E33, E35, YG21, YG03, Y11, Y15, B24, B28, BG01, BG04
bunnies- E40, W00, R02
grass- YG03, YG17, YG67

The Exmoor Perambulation, a traditional walk dating back over 725 years, will take place on Saturday, 25 June 2011.
A circular endurance walk around the 31 mile boundary of the old Exmoor Royal Forest is one of the most challenging walks in the Exmoor calendar.
It passes through breathtaking scenery and accesses parts of the National Park not normally open to the public.
Anyone finding the 31 miles too challenging there is a half-distance option, which includes minibus transport back to the start to get your certificate, have a cup of tea and collect your car.
There is also a BBQ at the half-way checkpoint to enjoy while waiting for your transfer in the minibus.
The walk starts from the Exmoor National Park's Pinkery Outdoor Education Centre, near Simonsbath.
Bunkhouse accommodation is available for participants at the special rate of £20 per person.
To ease congestion at the start of the event, walkers can start immediately after they have registered, when their start time will be logged on their tally.
Registration will be from 7am until 8am.
Dogs are permitted to walk, for free! but owners must ensure that they are a) fit enough to comfortably make the distance, b) are under control at all times and c) always on a lead at in enclosed farming areas.
Exmoor Perambulation information
This year the Exmoor Perambulation is being organised by the Exmoor Tourist Association, having taken it over from Active Exmoor.
The walk and bunkhouse accommodation are now open for booking online at www.exmoorperambulation.co.uk with walking places limited to the first 200 people.
Tickets for the full distance are £17.50, half-distance £12.50 and under 18s go free but must be accompanied by an adult.
Other accommodation suggestions are featured in the 2011 Exmoor Visitor Guide; for a free copy call Minehead Tourist Information Centre on 0845 166 1001
Additional information can also be found on www.exmoor.com and www.visit-exmoor.co.uk.

Universal Veganism?
On the micro-level, you focus on one person deciding between an all-plant diet and a part-animal diet. The all-plant diet will nourish them, but they find the part-animal diet tastier. Can they justify the harm they impose on animals in terms of the taste-delta, so to speak? No, it seems clear they cannot. Next issue: will all humans ever recognize this fact and switch over to an all-plant diet? The issue seems entirely about self-involvement vs. altruism. Are we good enough to all become vegans? The more optimistic among us say Yes. The less optimistic say No.
But now start on the macro-level, and think about oceans. 71% of earth is covered with ocean, and seafood provides 20% of animal protein, world wide -- 50% in some countries. In a vegan world, the ocean simply stops being used as source of nutrition. Land gets wasted too. Only 10% of the earth's land surface is arable--used to grow for crops. 26% of the land surface is used as grazing land. Most of that grazing land is not convertible to cropland, so if animals weren't being raised on it, it would simply be lost to food production. The total lost to food production: about 79% of the planet's surface.
Now, a vegan earth is also a planet where the cropland is used more efficiently. As it is, a third of cropland is used to feed confined animals (the ones not on grazing land). So the cropland will feed far more people, in a vegan world. Maybe -- I'm not sure -- everyone will still get fed. But by not consuming animals raised on grazing land or living in oceans, a vegan world leaves a great deal of the earth's surface unused for food--the oceans plus all the grazing land that couldn't be used to grow crops. To make up for this, there has to be lots of importing-exporting, and lots of local people stop being self-sufficient food producers.
It seems to me there's got to be some law of biology or economics (er ... what is it?) that says no to this. It just can't be that a species decides that a vast amount of its habitat is off limits, as far as obtaining food is concerned. Now, we don't want to make the mistake of thinking "natural, therefore good," or anything so crude, but there are some aspects to nature that just aren't going to be transcended, no matter what. For example, people will keep having sex and reproducing. And more to the point, they will keep spreading out all over the globe, using every acre of it for food production.
I know what someone's going to say. If we're inevitably going to use every acre for food production, would it be OK to use every acre of Manhattan for food production? May we round up New Yorkers, and turn them into hamburgers? Well, no. And we're not going to eat chunks of the Grand Canyon either. But -- perhaps you still see the point. Manhattan is tiny. We can pass up Manhattan Burgers, but can we really let 79% of the earth be non-food territory?
Things look very different when you switch from the micro-level to the macro-level. On the micro-level, the person who eats meat seems to prioritize their taste-delta over the well-being of animals. Selfish jerk! But now think about humanity collectively, on the macro-level. We use the whole earth for food production, which must mean we eat other animals. It's not a matter of selfish pursuit of pleasure, but of the basic laws of biology and economics. The pleasure people get from eating meat isn't an ultimate end, looking at in the grand scheme of things, but actually nature's way of getting them to obey those basic laws.
A vegan world violates the very most basic laws of biology and economics, whereas an omnivorous world does not. So--to hell with worrying about the treatment of "food" animals? No, no, no. It's just a starting point to recognize that we're not heading for a vegan world. There's a lot that's wrong with our omnivorous world. We use every bit of the earth for food (fine) but over-use it (not fine). We use resources inefficiently. That's particularly so with respect to the confined animal sector. Confined animals are fed through the inefficient use of valuable cropland. That makes no economic sense. These operations also pollute air, water, and land. There are also issues about the over-use of grazing land--too many animals means too much methane--a greenhouse gas. Finally, and very importantly, there are issues about the horrifying cruelty of these operations.
If you think we're heading for a vegan world, you'll think it's trivial, and even retrograde, to bring about small reforms, like two on the horizon right now:
Federal legislation introduced - bigger cages for laying hens
McDonalds ending use of gestational crates
But we're not. So we should be for these reforms and support the organizations working for them. I keep hearing Wayne Pacelle of HSUS on the radio, and think he's the cat's pajamas. If you're abolitionist Gary Francione, you hate the guy, because he's making life incrementally better for animals, while leading everyone a little further away from a vegan world. But I think we're not heading to a vegan world, period. It's not a question of human selfishness, but a simple matter of biology and economics. We just can't let that much of the earth's surface be labelled "not for food."

Well obviously, people have moral obligations to the extent that they can realistically accomplish them, and being vegan, quite frankly, is not a realistic end for many people in the world. People are starving, and don't have access to even animals, much less vegetable proteins. So even on a micro level, I think we can make the case that it doesn't make sense for the world to be vegan. The circumstances of people in developed countries, and it doesn't even have to be fully industrialized, e.g. India has a large population of vegans, is different from people in say rural China, or Saharan Africa, or even small isolated places like Hawaii.
Lately I've been wrestling with my own vegetarianism. I'm beginning to realize that my vegetarianism might be detrimental to my health. So I've been thinking about opening up and becoming a pescatarian. But at the same time, I really have serious problems with how fish are farmed, and how fish are wild caught. So I'm not quite sure what to do. In the end, I'm probably going to stay a vegetarian, and live with the risks that I'm examining.

Yes, you can come up with arguments on the micro-level, but nothing that looks head on at the oddity of telling humanity, collectively, "You must have a diet that involves putting an off-limits sign on 79% of the planet." That's just ... odd, on some deep level!
Do you eat bivalves? Maybe that would help with the health problem, and do no more harm to anything than eating plants, since they don't feel anything. Farmed bivalves have environmental problems, but so does a lot of plant farming.

The question if ever the world population will be vegan fascinates me too. In my opinion the probability for a vegan world is real. Yes, it is possible to feed the world population using any animal products and relying on the existing technology.
In fact chances are diminished by our inability to fight against the problems in the develloping countries. As long there is the threat of starvation, why should these people be concerned about animal rights?

I find the claim that we must use all available land on the planet for food production quite bizarre. Why must we do this? Your argument, which involves the idea that leaving land in its wild state would be "wasting" it, seems to rely on the (Malthusian?) idea that there is an intrinsic, unstoppable human drive to expand everywhere and exploit every cranny of the planet to produce more and more food and other stuff. Perhaps this is the case, but I hope not. If it is, the biosphere is doomed.
Long-distance importing-exporting is not always economically and environmentally inefficient. And technological innovation should make it possible to produce food locally in ways that would not have been possible in the past.
Two crucial things you don't mention: population and capitalism. If we could get global population down to, say, one billion (the population of the word in the year 1800), surely we could provide abundant food for everyone and still leave vast tracts of the planet in a wild or almost wild state. Then, too, many of our woes arise from the inherently expansive nature of capitalism, which is intent on metaphorically and even literally eating the planet alive.
Having said this, I'm sceptical that humanity will ever go completely or even mostly vegan. Certainly it won't happen as far into the future as we can reasonably see. But I think "the very most basic laws of biology and economics" are not nearly as inhospitable to mass veganism as you imagine.

Interesting argument.
A good number of us are well Indian Vegetarians - i.e. we eat eggs and dairy - just not meat(don't ask me for a consistent ethical reason why).
I think that reduces the 79% somewhat.

Yeah I thought about adding clams to my diet. Still thinking about it. It really boils down to the omega 3s that you get from seafood. I'm Asian, so I have a genetic predisposition to make a lot of cholesterol, even if I'm not eating it. flaxseed omega 3s are good, but seafood omega 3s are better, and it makes sense that my genetic ancestry ate a lot of fish, that they would better handle the excess cholesterol that we make. So I've been downing flaxseed like mad, but it hasn't really helped much. The doctors says, more exercise and more omega 3s, but veg rules out the better omega 3s.
Clams and other bivalves aren't on the top of my favorites list... I like clam chowder, but that wouldn't do anything for my cholesterol levels. But I might try slurping a few down in some other way.
But back to the argument at hand, We already put off limit signs on national parks and such. So its not entirely unusual to say that this land is off limits to food production. We also have hunting seasons and such, so in a sense, some lands are off-limits during certain times of the year.
I don't think the oddness of the argument should take away from the reasoning behind it. I admit, its odd... but is it really unreasonable? Like Plato said... Women fighting in the military is odd, but it makes sense that they can do it, if we just educate them.

Aeolus, I didn't say we must use all available land. I said we mustn't make 79% of the planet's surface off limits for food production. That's too much.
My point is--normally the message to meat-eaters is: you must give up certain tastes for the sake of animal well-being. That sounds like a fair demand. Taste is trivial, compared to what an animal suffers for you to enjoy it. So: good.
But when you think about it, what are you telling humanity if you say "everyone should be a vegan"? You're not just saying everyone has to sacrifice certain tastes. You're saying that collectively, we must give up on 79% of the planet's surface as a source of food. Wow--that's giving up a lot! That sounds too demanding.
This is just an instance of the "too demanding" complaint you can make against lots of different ethical assertions. Say someone tells me I should go to the hospital right now and donate my organs, so 10 can live. Well, that's asking too much. There can't be ethical imperatives that call on people to commit suicide--or at least if there are such imperatives, they're rare, and not in effect for all of us, all of the time.
I'm saying the same kind of thing here. How can it be an imperative for humanity to stop using the 79% of the planet that's now used to catch/produce animal food?
You talk about lowering the population to one billion. That would be another imperative that's wildly demanding. What it would mean, realistically, is that a couple of generations all must decide to have just one child (on average). Surely that's too much to ask.
By the way, I've been reading all sorts of puzzling things about population, and about how (allegedly) more people are for the good--Toby Ord, Julian Simon, Bryan Caplan. This is all puzzling stuff.

Interesting post, though a bit disheartening (I'm a passionate vegan). I see the conflicting logics of the two levels. But I've never belived in a 100% perfect world anyway, either it's a world without animal use, cruelty, wars, hunger or else. There's too much evil. But as I see it, it doesn't change anything regarding the moral motivations or obligations to work for what one view as good (some might think that avoiding slaughter of innocents as a more important moral imperative than to help the needy or feeding everyone in the world). This also applies for abolitionists. So I don't agree that this dilemma is a reason to support welfare reforms as opposed to promote veganism and abolition. I don't see how that's a relevant claim.
How do you think these conflicting logics can be resolved (avoiding the naturalistic fallacy), or what do it say about the limits of normative ethics?

- About Allstone Group
About The Company – The Allstone Group
The Allstone Group is as real as it gets when it comes to providing you with the best in natural granite, marble, travertine, onyx, limestone, sandstone, and petrified wood sinks for your kitchen.
All their sinks whether kitchen or farm are crafted out of single blocks of fine stone. The company is one of the most prized brands we retail at Blue Bath, owing to the unique line of stone sinks and kitchen faucets the brand offers.
Because Allstone sinks are created from natural stone, they demand certain care and maintenance given as below:
Cleaning & Maintenance:
To keep your stone sinks sparkling clean, avoid using acids, abrasives, harsh chemicals and cleaners. Do Not use those scouring pads too. There are specific cleaners formulated especially for stone crafts that you can use. You can find such cleaners at marble and granite stores. In case, you are unable to purchase one or the store or retailer doesn't stock it, you can wash away the dirt using neutral and mild detergents as well.
Sealing Allstone Sinks
We do not always suggest sealing sinks unless you want to do it in order to prevent dirt settling on it or staining. There are stone sealers available with granite and marble retailers, in case you'd like to get one of them.
Allstone recommends using stone sinks with a little bit of care so that cleaning and maintaining it doesn't become cumbersome and its beauty and timeless elegance is retained through all the years that you'll keep them.

Over the last couple of months, I realise I've become addicted to Cottages! They seem to be appearing everywhere in my designs! We have a beautiful home which I absolutely love, but a modern large home just doesn't cut it when it comes to applique and stitching!!!
My Rosebud Cottage was the project I taught at the Creative Craft Retreat last year, and now it has been published and the pattern is available in Australian Country Threads magazine, Vol 14 No 1.
Of course a sweet country cottage needs a wheelbarrow full of flowers:
and a fountain through an arch:
As you can see, it is a practical project - a 6 inch box for all your treasures:
I was looking back through some of my designs to see when I started becoming addicted to Cottages. I think it began with my Country Cottage Calendar a couple of years ago:
Then my free 2011 Block of the Month Quilt, Consider the Lilies, had this cute little cottage:
and last year Maisie lived in this while she tended her Market Garden:
Now we're up to this year! Remember my 100th published design, Calista Cottage? The pattern is now available for purchase along with my other cottages on my Wall-quilt page.
If you prefer instant download, you can purchase the pattern at my Craftsy Pattern store.
Our house is rather quiet now. Our daughter who lives overseas was living with us for the last 6½ weeks and she went back home on Friday. She has a very hearty laugh and kept us entertained with lots of anecdotes. Now it's time to start meeting some of the deadlines that are looming - a cushion, a tablecloth, a stitchery, answer to Profile questions and some embroidery for an editor who phoned to ask did I have anything in mind for her! I love my retirement career!
As if there aren't enough photos in this post, I will finish with a sneak peak of another cottage
which will be published later this year:
Happy stitching!

Snowkhana Details:
- Starring the 2013 Ford Fiesta ST, toy variant
- Stop motion technique used
- Holiday and Gymkhana Six inspired
What's better than stop motion films? Stop motion films with the sound effects of Ken Block's Ford Fiesta ST bouncing off the rev-limiter and burning rubber. Ford's Snowkhana Two stop motion video just hit the web and is a must see this holiday season.
To top it all off, the film includes an all-star cast. We're talking one of the Ninja Turtles, Garfield, Darth Vader, good old Miley Cyrus, Superman, and even a Ford Mustang Fastback. The two Ford cars even go for a tandem drift, something we would love to see in the flesh.
Watch and see the Ford Fiesta ST rally its way around objects like you would normally see in Ken Block's viral Youtube videos. Thank you Ford for giving us ideas on what to do during the times we're stuck at home during the holidays. Will we be making our own stop motion films with import cars, Tein dampachi, and Domo-kun dolls? Negative ghost rider. Too much work, but enjoy the film otherwise.

ECU Physicians is proud to offer neurology care to patients. Neurologists are specialists who treat conditions of the brain, spinal column or nerves. These conditions can affect people of all ages, causing pain, weakness, imbalance, or mental difficulties, such as memory loss.
If you have a neurological disease, you may have trouble with movement or thought; with seeing, touching, hearing or other senses; with swallowing; or with moods or memory.
ECU Physicians Neurology is at the former East Carolina Neurology practice, a long-time community-oriented medical office that opened in 1977. Since then, the physicians of East Carolina Neurology have worked with the Brody School of Medicine and Vidant Medical Center to provide consultations and care for patients throughout the region. In July 2013, it became part of ECU Physicians.
The practice has a wide variety of services, including MRI, in a relaxed, comfortable setting with 24,000 square feet of office, consultation and treatment areas. Because neurological conditions affect every part of the body, it is important to have the special tests to diagnose them. More than 600 neurological diseases may affect patients. They include:

The Swedish king Gylfi offered her as much land as she could plow in one day and one night.

Maloch's Victims - Cythe
The Yeti and Ogre move to defend the artillery while the it tries to take out the woad elf catapult... ineffectively.
The final melee skeleton rushes Nimra.
She parries the sabre...
... and smashes him with her staff.
The skeleton magi crit fails his spell, causing it to backfire and force the ranged units to reload.
The White Reaper does manage to raise two fallen warriors. They ambush Nimra!
She gets lucky as one misses and the hit only equals her armour.
Woad Elves - Scratch
Ignoring them, Myrna raises her staff and concentrates on the ground below the siege engines...
Critical success! Both siege engines are thrown into the water as the ground below them shifts, sending them rolling down.
The Elite archers mass fire on Baron DeMorte.
Exploding dice can really ruin your day. The Baron takes 2 HP damage.
Warriors charge the undead ogre.
He misses, and they destroy him.
With an enormous feat of strength, Landor grabs the rocks and clears a path for the infantry by throwing them into the water.
Another critical success! Landor feels really strong and regains one HP!
The catapult takes out one of the fallen warriors.
Nimra then swiftly decapitates the last one. She's on a roll.
Maloch's Elite - darkpaladin
Two skeletons charge Sir Garth from behind.
Again exploding dice do a horrendous job and a dual hit knocks Garth off his horse and incapacitates him.
The swordsmen receive a similar treatment. Three die.
The shield wall meanwhile loses two more soldiers to the relentless cavalry attack, but their formation kills three fire wraiths and two horses in turn.
The final skeleton's charge can't dent the shield wall any further.
WDK's - lawmaster
On their own turn, however, they lose two guys to counters.
Longswords file in together with the warriors in the middle of the battlefield.
The final shortsword tries to fight back, but there's only so much he can do against these odds.
The crossbowmen try to take out the two unengaged demons... and remain useless.
Dark Elves - PlutoniumDeath
The Dark Elves surround the wounded Baron to defend him.
Skaie - Silva
Skaie runs, trying to blindside the enemy...
He hits, but messes up his damage roll.
Baron DeMorte - Zupponn
Unhappy with the presence of the Dark Elves, Baron DeMorte starts singing a song:
Look at my beard, my beard is amazing. Give it a lick!
'Ooh it tastes just like raisins!"
Have a stroke on it's side it turns into a bride
and then it turns back again when you stuff in a Gold Coin
'Eww that's expensive!'
Do you think so?
Well I better not show you where this armour was made
Tough armour, Tough armour
Tough armour, yeah tough armour
*beard solo*
Get on my beard, I'll take you round the Universe and all the other places too
'I think you'll find that the Universe pretty much covers everything.'
"Shut up woman, get on my beard." / total Weeblstuff ripoff
Critical success! The Dark Elves are frozen in place for a round.
The Baron then moves to attack the sword warriors.
He crit-fails, and is killed. Nevertheless, he grins, as it is his goal to die in every battle he's in. Zupponn has shit luck.

Nole, Rafa, Nole's Girlfriend and Vlade Divac!
January 30, 2012 in Best Of, Sport, Tennis by pacejmiller
Greatest. Tennis. Match. Ever.
As a new father I have about 10 minutes to spare, so I'm going to blog about what's been on my mind — last night's EPIC Aussie Open Final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The two fighters went toe-to-toe like to heavyweight sluggers, absorbing killer blow after killer blow in the longest grand slam final and longest Aussie Open game of all time.
The Djoker came out on top in the end, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, but Rafa's valiant efforts won him a lot of fans. It was a see-sawing battle that shifted momentum numerous times. Just when I thought Rafa was finally going to get over the hump against Nole, Nole fights back to dominate. And just when a Nole victory looked like a mere formality, back comes Rafa. Then there was the brief rain delay which I thought was going to kill Rafa's momentum, but it only made him stronger. And when it looked like Rafa was going to put it away, back comes Nole again to steal the match from the grasp of defeat. I had no favourite in the match, so I was just glad to be a witness.
Everyone's talking about this fantastic tennis match, so instead of my usual waffle I'll just toss in some random thoughts:
- Let's face it, Nole's girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, was one of the main reasons so many millions of people stayed up watching the match last night all the way until the end. It certainly was the reason why my blog (which wrote briefly about her once), got so many hits overnight. It was hard not to notice her — the freaking camera zoomed in on her on every single break in the action! Kudos to the television crew for knowing what sells. Nole's victory is even more amazing considering how difficult it would have been for him to focus on tennis with her around.
- That said, message to the TV crew for next year — go easy on the super slow-mo. Super slow-mo on Jelena Ristic jumping up and down is fine, but super slow-mo on Djoker's and Rafa's faces as they crack massive forehands? Not so much.
- Speaking of Jelena, she seems to have embraced the role as tennis's no. 1 WAG. She always seems to wear cobalt blue, except the dresses are getting more and more expensive. I wonder if she has clothing sponsors.
- Huge surprise last night as I was watching the match. On the odd occasion the camera panned away from Jelena, it landed on a bearded giant behind her that made me do a double-take. Was that the biggest flopper of all-time, Mr Vlade Divac? As it turned out, it was. I have no idea why the retired basketball superstar was in Djokovic's camp. These Serbian athletes must be real close. Maybe Nole learned some of his flopping mental tactics from Divac.
- What the heck was the deal with the rain delay? Seriously, the thing has a roof. It looks like it might rain. Why take the risk? And how laughably primitive was the ball-boy brigade that wiped down the court on their hands and knees? You would have thought someone (probably Japanese) would have come up with an ingenious contraption to suck all that moisture up in a jiffy.
- Excellent post-match speeches at the award-ceremony too. Rafa was awesome in defeat and super gracious, and the usually amped up Nole was also very kind with his words — both men were probably too tired to do much else. Seeing them handed bottles of water and stools to sit on while that hilarious Korean (?) fella from KIA Motors rambled on said it all. Then again, I felt like I needed to lie down after listening to that guy too.
- Lastly, I just want to reiterate what a pleasure it was to watch the match. These dudes are physical freaks. How can someone crack the ball with so much force while running all over the court for almost 6 hours? That's just mind-boggling. Especially for someone with bread stick arms like the Djoker. I get a sore wrist from three consecutive two-handed backhands.

Jellybread is a small kid friendly cafe filled with retro laminate mix-matched tables and chairs. They have a small menu mostly consisting of breaky options or sandwiches but they are quite vegan friendly, offering soy milkshakes, nuttelex and clearly marked vegan options.
Excuse these photos!
Kids have their own indoor play area
I opted for a strawberry milkshake and when I enquired about whether their soymilk was gf she agreed to make it with gf soymilk since the regular one was not gf. I love that attention to detail and customer service.
I got some gf toast with baked beans and a side of avocado. I also asked for nuttelex, I think its the only cafe I've seen it listed as an alternative option. With an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, this was a great breakfast. The baked beans were not spicy as advertised but contained veggies and red kidney beans and were tasty enough. The other vegan option I could see was avocado, tomatoes and rocket on toast.
They also had a vegan cake option and separate gluten free brownies.
I have read that they have a nice outside area where kids can be found playing on warm days, this is the place to go if you have kids and I look forward to returning once bub comes along. I'm always looking for more breaky options in the inner west, let me know if you have other suggestions.
Jellybread has been blogged about by little eats, hey bambini, and fill up on bread.

Our BatchGeo world MAP shows the locations of green architecture, green building and renewable energy projects featured on Solaripedia.
Louis Palmer is an environmental adventurer and he was the first person to circumnavigate the planet in a solar powered vehicle, known as the Solartaxi, reaching the attention of an estimated 770 million people worldwide. It took him 534 days to complete his circumnavigation and spread his powerful message that renewable energies are reliable, affordable and ecologically responsible! Following the tire tracks of the Solartaxi, Palmer initiated the ZERO Race this year, which launched four teams in vehicles powered by renewable energy on 16 August 2010. The teams are from Australia, Germany, South Korea and Switzerland, racing around the world in 80 days, staring in Geneva, Switzerland, without producing any carbon emissions. Each competitor's lean, mean, green machine is designed to run strictly on renewable energy, such as solar, wind, wave or geothermal. The teams should finish Geneva again after 18,642 miles (30,000 kilometers) on the road in Jan. 2011. On the way they will stop in 150 cities including Berlin, Moscow, Shanghai, Los Angeles and Cancun for the U.N. climate change meeting at the end of November 2010. Palmer wants to show the world that electric vehicles are practical for daily use, and that the real winner of the race will be Planet Earth. He hopes to repeat the race every two years.
ZERO Race
The ZERO Race is planned and managed according to sustainable development principles. The ZERO Race's sustainable policies are wide-ranging and include: - Only 100% electric vehicles are permitted to participate in the event - All vehicles must be powered 100% by renewable energy produced and fed into the grid during the Race. - The ZERO Race is a 100% carbon neutral event. All unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions generated in its planning and implementation will be compensated by purchasing offsets from a credible organization. - All participants are required to adhere to a responsible code of conduct to ensure a socially and environmentally responsible event.

Zero Race sends solar-powered EVs around the world
Drivers in Geneva on 17 August, 2010 set off for a round-the-world rally in solar-powered vehicles to showcase the potential of electric vehicles. The challenge is see whether the four teams can complete the 80-day trip emissions-free, according to Zero Race organizer Louis Palmer, who drove his own "solar taxi" through 38 countries over 18 months. The typical look of a solar car is more like that of a spaceship than of a sedan, being only a few feet off the ground, oval-shaped, and covered with solar cells. The two-passenger vehicles in the Zero Race are more familiar, because they are electric vehicles powered by solar and wind power, according to the race organizers.
Two of the vehicles are battery-powered scooters and the other two are custom sedans designed for efficiency. "With this race we want to show that seven billion people on this planet need renewable energy and clean mobility," Palmer said in a statement. The four teams on Monday departed Geneva, heading across Switzerland with planned stops in Brussels, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, and Shanghai. From there, the cars will be shipped by boat to Vancouver, and from there they'll cross North America to eventually end up in Cancun, Mexico, in time for the United Nations Climate Conference. The cars will then be shipped to Portugal, where they will complete the final leg and end up in Geneva next January, having covered 18,000 miles. Race organizers will invest in renewable energy projects to offset the emissions associated with the shipping.

"Carlyle said a lie cannot live. Which shows that he did not know how to tell them." — Mark Twain
Well sir, Old Man Winter's sure enough left his footprints on Plumtree Crossin', and he weren't wearin' his lightweight city shoes, neither. In point of fact, it's been so dadblamed intemperate here of late that Ott Bartlett has plumb give up spittin' terbaccy juice in the out-of-doors; seems he jist can't tolerate the way it freezes up in midstream and shatters as soon as the air gets to it.
But folks here don't spend too much time strugglin' with the inclement weather, anyhow. Leastwise, most of us have the God-given sense to put our backsides near somethin' warm and wait till a feller can step outside without dressin' up like a three-year stack of feed sacks.
Which is why—nigh onto two weeks ago—a goodly number of the local notables was gathered in the back room of the Plumtree Crossin' General Store. Actually, "gathered" don't exactly describe it right. We was huddled so close around the potbellied stove that Lem Tucker swore he was lookin' at the world through Doc Thromberg's glasses. It were one of those days where, if called on to help find a lost friend, it jist might cross your mind to stay in and let a grown man fend for hisself.
Anyway, about the time we was gettin' all warmed and ready fer some upliftin' conversation, Lafe Higgins and Skeeter Ridges come bustin' through the front door like January 1929.
"We got to form a rescue party," Lafe said, after he'd thawed enough to sneak the words between the clatterin' of his teeth. "Fletcher Roebuck's boy, Clovis, has gone and got hisself lost down along Wishful Crick."
"And jist what is that no-count ward heeler doin' in them woods in the dead of winter, anyway?" Doc wanted to know.
"Freezin', most likely," chimed in Skeeter. "You see, it's like this: Ol' Clovis is home from the state capital visitin' his widdered momma. And yisterday, it seems, he got a bit advanced into some leftover eggnog and set to braggin' about his huntin' and trappin' prowess. Clovis went on fer some time, and finally Cleedy McCannon——who was callin' socially——spoke up ... sayin' that from what he'd heered, Clovis could take the wrong direction in a one-seat privy and stood in danger of freezin' to death ev'ry time he opened an icebox.
"Well, Clovis got riled at that so—tipsy as he was—he managed to wrestle some gear into that silly-lookin' four-wheel drive of his'n, grabbed Fletcher's old 30-30 off the wall, and announced that he'd be draggin' a big buck white tail outta the Wishful Crick wilderness before sunset. That was 24 hours ago and he ain't come back yet."
Now as you can imagine, most of the boys weren't exactly overjoyed at the idea of sloggin' through them cold woods——especially to fetch out the likes of Clovis Roebuck—but we all ended up puttin' on our heavy-weather clothes and pilin' into Skeeter's pickup and Doc's old Hudson anyway ... along with a few bottles of Purvis Jacob's corn-squeezed antifreeze fer enny medical emergencies that might occur.
Well, as you know, it ain't a long drive to the turnoff above Wishful. But them roads were slipperier than a Congressional Committee, so it was nigh onto mid-afternoon afore we slithered to a stop a few feet from Clovis's parked jeep. That vehicle had tires as big as a John Deere's and was all gussied up with gold—painted eagles and the like. Ott managed to untangle hisself from the crowded car first, and—while the rest of us rescuers took one last swaller of abominable snowman repellent from the jug—he ambled over to see if Clovis mighta showed enough sense to leave a note in his jeep as to whether he'd be goin' upstream or down.
After no more'n a peek into Clovis's car, though, Ott came tippytoein' back makin' shushin' motions with his finger and lookin' like a schoolboy who'd jist discovered spitwads.
"You fellers got to see this fer yerselves," he cackled. "But set yer feet down real soft. Opportunity don't knock this hard but once."
Well sir, we all filed over to that decked-out jeep, and there across the seat—lookin' fer all the world like the biggest danged cattypillar in creation—was the poor lost soul snuggled up safe as a baby in one of them $300 goose down sleepin' bags.
"I'll be a suck-egg mule," Doc whispered. "The orn'ry critter never even tried to git outta his car!"
And that seemed to be the case, too, 'cause they was an empty five dollar whiskey bottle on the vehicle's floor. And there wasn't enny footprints—'ceptin' ours—in the vicinity, neither, though it hadn't snowed fer a good three days.
Doc kinda pondered fer a while before speakin' up. "Gimme a hand with sleepin' beauty," he said after a bit. "This feller needs to be learnt a little lesson."
So, ev'rybody pitched in and we hauled ol' Clovis—who didn't react other than to let loose a few snorts that woulda done a bull moose proud—out inta the woods a piece, where we nestled him down in the middle of a snowbank.
Then Doc took one of them jugs of corn squeezin's and dabbed the likker over Clovis's sticky-out ears and freckled nose. As cold as the air was, that alcohol musta made it a dern sight colder, 'cause Clovis commenced to wrigglin' and mutterin' directly. And ol' Doc kneeled down next to him and got to talkin' in real sorrowful tones.
"It's frostbite fer sure," was his expressed opinion. "I don't know if the nose will have to go, but them big ol' ears look like goners to me." All of this was beginnin' to sink into Clovis's mornin'-after brain. He opened his eyes 'n' looked around—not knowin' where he was nor how he'd come to be there—and started to sit up.
"Don't move, or you'll crack like a china teacup!" Doc bellered in a voice that woulda give an undertaker the frights. At that, Clovis widened his eyes so big you could see air around the whites of 'em and went stiff as a seasoned board.
"The way I see it, he's only got but one chance." (This was Lafe speakin' now.) "His frostbit face has gotta be rubbed with snow." So, we all set about that pleasant task and bounced Clovis around as much as possible while we was at it. By the time we decided to let the patient up and help him to his car, he was a lick away from sobbin' and about as sorry lookin' a sight as I've ever seen.
Once Doc figured that the prank had gone on long enough, he announced that Clovis was the luckiest man since Lazarus and that a miraculous recov'ry had taken place.
At that Clovis fell to blubberin' in earnest. He thanked us all fer savin' his hide and swore he'd never fergit what we'd done fer him till his dyin' day."
'Twern't nothin'," Ott told him. "You jist rest yerself up a spell and then I'll take you huntin' with me. We'll git you a big ol' buck deer yet! " Well sir, Clovis seemed to develop a case of the tremblin' shivers about then and climbed—hurried like—into his jeep. He allowed as how the huntin' trip sounded fine, but it seemed that he had some pressin' govermint bizniss to attend to. In fact, Clovis was so danged dedicated to servin' the state that he was afraid it'd be quite a spell before he'd be able to git back to Plumtree Crossin.
Maybe not till, say ... July?

Cross Racing Week 1: Sour Grapes
Week 1, under the belt. Sort of. I figured I'd wait to post until today as I was a wreck yesterday evening. Week 1 went, well, not so good. That said, it's aaaall good. 'Tis bike racing. Lemme sum up the day...
Drive up from Boulder's 6K to Breckenridge's 10,000 feet elevation was nice and serene. Listening to Built to Spill gave me goose bumps (and would be a prophetic group to listen to vis-a-vis their title! Ha!). It set the tone of ominous clouds and rain squalls that came in and out during the drive up. It was fantastic seeing all the old friends again when I got to Breck. The scene at the Nordic Center in Breck is always alive. The junior races were going off when I got there and I saw team mates like Thomas Prehn and Doug Squires getting their game faces on for their Master's events. Hup hup you guys!
The course was a pretty good one, and very short. Swoopy through the trees with probably 100 feet or so of pavement. Lots of barriers in the right places. My warm up was great and the body felt fine. A little taxed at altitude as I expected but pretty good nonetheless. The equipment felt great and I decided to go go with the Dugast set up on both bikes. I pre-road them both and both felt spot on. The tires absolutely railed the tacky dirt so the thumbs up was given. I had seriously like 3 other sets of wheels prepared to switch out but the tread and the 32 size felt sweet.
The line up was great. Not a huge field of 35 Open guys but all the old friends were there....except Karl Kiester. He rocked one of the other Masters events. Me, Timmy, Jared and some others composed the front row. Ready set go and we're off. I took the whole shot and led the first lap. I was turning around to see what was up and there was a string out and I REALLY wanted to get a group together to start working. You can't win from teh front in a 35 plus race. Jared came through to work and life is good. I think it was Jared, me, Timmy and maybe another guy flowing for a bit, Timmy put in an attack on the 2nd lap on the double barrier run up to see who was there to play for the day. I felt the altitude there a bit but it re grouped and life is good again. The group of about 6 is formed and we're off for the race. The separation was there by lap 2.5. By this time there is already 30 seconds plus on the rest of the field so this was the split in a 45 minute race. Lap 3 or 4 (about 20 to 22 minutes into the race) Chris Phenecie and Jeff Wardell we're in front of me and we're flowing through the woods. As we come railing into this particular section, it happened: Rolled the tubular.
Und das war alles.
Honestly, I hit so hard (no embellishment) both my contacts popped out of my eyes. Ha! I rolled the front tubular at speed coming around this dirt apex at speed and the lights went out. The body is beat up but the ego worse off. Sort of like:
Apparently the last laps saw Timmy, Jared and others crash as well as Phenecie roll his tubular in similar fashion although without the major crash drama. D'oh! All good in the hood though and I'll be back for more punishment next week.
Life is good. Bike racing is awesome, if not unforgiving.

Writing for the Seattle Weekly, David Neiwert criticizes Seattle for not really being that bike friendly. It's a good article and I think Seattle simply needs more bike lanes. That's the difference with Portland, Eugene, and other cities, they've got lanes everywhere and even traffic lights for bikes! I've found that when I'm in a bike lane, motorist don't care. Out of a lane and that's when problems start. And it's just the fact that Seattle's inability to make tough decisions results in gridlock. Starting with allowing I5, to cut through the center of town and then ignoring a master plan in the 70s that warned of the traffic gridlock we have now.
For years, I've ridden Lake Washington Blvd mostly car free and and because of I5 traffic, the blvd is a freeway during the day with angry, rushed drivers. To recall what is used to be like, try the City's Bicycle Saturdays and Sundays where they close the blvd to car traffic and it's bikes only.
To it's credit, the City is trying, we've just got way more to do; especially, as Neiwert notices, there are so many cyclists on the street.

Is there any revenue or transaction count (theoretical) limit to a Shopify store? Not that I'm going anywhere anytime soon, but is it possible to have a store too big for Shopify?
January 20 2012, 03:06PM
Amazing!! Congratulations! We're super happy to be a part of it.
January 20 2012, 03:24PM
Chris: No, there is no revenue or transaction limit to Shopify. Some of our stores do millions in revenue.
January 20 2012, 03:29PM
Well done. With so much data and information to pull from, creating an infographic that tells the right story—and basically replaces those tired old annual reports, is no small feat.
Congratulations on a great 2011!!

Nice review. What criteria did you use for the "staff picks" ?
January 23 2012, 12:21PM
Ole: Staff Picks were cool shops that did really well, but not well enough to break the top 10.
They were chosen more for their unique products or awesome store design than anything else. Products like Wooden Watches, iPod Nano watch bands, beer opener iPhone cases. Designs by famous artists such as SwissMiss. A couple others were simply cool brands with a little bit of celebrity status, like Epic Meal Time and SMS by 50 Cent.
January 27 2012, 02:59PM
The data drew me in, the design kept me intrigued. What font is that used for the 2011 date in the banner? Love the fraudulent sign-ups report. Genius!
January 27 2012, 03:35PM
Cesar: Cheers, thanks for the kudos.
The "2011" typeface is "Ribbon", by Dan Gneiding. It's a pay-what-you-like typeface over at Lost Type (http://www.losttype.com/special/?name=ribbon). I had to do some tweaking to the kerning of the 1's, but it's pure awesome other than that.

Early exit from CL T20 a blessing in disguise: Dhoni
Although disappointed with Chennai Super Kings' ouster from the Champions League T20, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that it will be a "blessing in disguise" ahead of his team's important ODI series against England which starts from October 14.
"That's the only blessing in disguise, a few days off, not that we have earned it, but a bit of a rest will help us," said CSK skipper Dhoni.
Dhoni has been playing near non-stop cricket for a long time now, his only break coming during the five-match One-day series in the West Indies in June.
India play five ODIs and a Twenty20 international against England at home.
- Cook and Co arrive in India for ODI series
Apart from Dhoni, Suresh Raina and R Ashwin are two other Indian ODI players in the CSK squad.
Meanwhile, David Warner smashed a blistering unbeaten 69-ball 135 as 2009 champions New South Wales put up a determined show to beat the defending champions Chennai by 46 runs to join Mumbai Indians from Group-A in the semi-finals of the Champions League in Chennai on Tuesday.
Electing to bat, New South Wales posted an imposing 201 for two, riding on Warner's second Twenty20 ton. In reply, Super Kings could muster just 155 before folding up in 18.5 overs.

Warner credits four-day cricket to top form
"Getting 200 became a difficult task when our big-hitters departed. That is very important to get the big hitters out of the game; you don't want them to bat 15 overs but want to get them in the Powerplay," said Dhoni.
Man-of-the-match Warner said that he has learnt a lot in the last few years and his efforts paid off.
"Tonight was my night; I have been practicing the switch hit a long time now in the nets. It paid off today. I have learnt a lot in the last few years and that has come through playing more four-day cricket back home," he said.
NSW captain Simon Katich heaped praise on Warner and said, "the way he batted was simply outstanding, he constructed his innings superbly."

I would like a logo, card and stationary that are fresh and stylish. I am not a designer so I cannot provide much guidance. It is all up to you, guys...
I need a print-ready format, but also hopefully something that can be modified locally to add/delete names, positions, contacts.
