Allo Allo Classic TV Show
René runs a small café in France during World War II. He always seems to have his hands full: he's having affairs with most of his waitresses, he's keeping his wife happy, he's trying the please the German soldiers who frequent his cafe, and he's running a major underground operation for the resistance.
NEWS: Q&A: Questions Wanted for Lt Gruber
Allo Allo Fan Tributes7 Nathalie from Belgium: Mm, it's hard to pick just one favorite moment. But I think that the scene where Lt. Gruber has to interrogate the undertaker - under supervision of the General - is the one that stands out the most. It's a hilarious scene, but like I said, there are lots of scenes to pick from. ;-)
I just LOVE 'Allo 'Allo, as it's bringing me a lot of joy. So much, that I keep re-watching it over and over again!
Cheers. xxx
6 bill alford from devon england: since this gem of a show came out in 1982 i have loved it and for years kept watchimng when it is on tv . when i lived with my nan on sundays we have a roast dinner with allo allo on in the back ground. the laughter at the table was always a great part of our sundays. good days
5 Andy from Germany: Thanks to Satelite-TV i know Allo Allo since 1986. I love this genius Comedy. I took 20 years but in Autum 2008 Germany-TV shows the first episode. I think there will be soon a huge Fancommunity here.
You can visit the German-Fanbase at www.caferene.de
4 Kathy from Ohio/USA: 'Allo from across the pond! I'm a huge fan of this show. There are so many wonderful scenes it's hard to pick out just one for a favorite. I'd have to say the Spanish Flamingo Fandango skit they did when they faked the airmens' murder...."I was pissing by the door when I heard two shats....." Priceless. The Gateau from the Chateau scene is brilliant as well. Personally I think that was Sam Kelly's best episode.
Cheers, and a good moaning to you!
3 Rowena Razak from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: I'm a huge fan of Allo Allo. I've been watching it since I was 12! I love all the bits with Herr Flick and Helga. I love the simple-minded cheekiness of it all.
2 R from Londonderry N.I: My favourite moment from allo allo is when the staff from the cafe are arrested and taken to a british prisoner of war camp.
Best wishes
Rhonda McClements
1 Garry Herring from Hartlepool: Well, what can I say, excellent one-liners, truly popular with everyone (bar the Germans of course). The most memorable scene I recall is in series 6 where the old undertaker and Msr. Leclerc have a sword duel over rene's wife ("a pair of geriatric Errol Flynns" as Rene calls them) and herr flick arrives disguised as a german off icer named as "field Marshall Von Krackenfart!) tremendously funny. My favourite comedy series.

Heidenreich undergoing makeover in AFL
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Two starts into his stint in the Arizona Fall League, Astros right-hander Matt Heidenreich was told he was getting a makeover.
Astros pitching coach Brent Strom and Minor League pitching coach Dave Borkowski, who's serving as Peoria's pitching coach in the AFL, took the 22-year-old Heidenreich aside and began to remake him with a new delivery and a fresh approach.
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Two starts into his stint in the Arizona Fall League, Astros right-hander Matt Heidenreich was told he was getting a makeover.
Astros pitching coach Brent Strom and Minor League pitching coach Dave Borkowski, who's serving as Peoria's pitching coach in the AFL, took the 22-year-old Heidenreich aside and began to remake him with a new delivery and a fresh approach.
Strom and Borkowski spent about a week reworking Heidenreich's mechanics by holding him out of AFL action and putting him through drills, as well as doing some thorough video analysis. The big righty remains a work in progress, but he's feeling more confident in his stuff.
"Mechanically, I was just a little off," said Heidenreich, acquired last year from the White Sox in the Brett Myers trade. "I feel like during the season, it just continued to get progressively worse, so they had me miss a few starts and broke it down for me, and [they] showed me a lot of video and gave me a lot of drills to get more direction toward the plate, more power out of my back side."
Borkowski said the goal was to get Heidenreich to use his 6-foot-5 frame to be more of a "drop-and-drive" pitcher, instead of a "tall-and-fall" approach. As a result, his velocity is up and he's seeing some true results. Heidenreich is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in four AFL starts.
"He's worked hard at it, and it's starting to pay off," Borkowski said. "The velocity is coming up. He's able to pound the zone a little bit better, and his stuff is a little bit more crisp. Even now, with the conviction behind his pitches, he can get away with some things, whereas he had to be perfect before that."
Heidenreich, drafted by the White Sox in the fourth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Lake Elsinore, Calif., spent most of last season at Double-A Corpus Christi in his first full year in Houston's Minor League system. His name doesn't get mentioned alongside some of the organization's top prospects like Mike Foltynewicz, Vincent Velasquez and Lance McCullers, but there is some upside.
"The ceiling will be high pending on how well this makeover takes," Borkowski said. "If he can continue to improve and become consistent, there's potential for him to pitch in the big leagues. That's going to be the issue going forward, is being consistent and trusting it and letting the ball go."
Heidenreich went 4-5 with a 7.81 ERA in 31 games, making eight starts while often getting innings in the Astros' tandem-starter configuration they employed for much of last year. His 2013 shaky results were a reflection of his inconsistency, some injury problems and adjusting to a new organization. Heidenreich admits he tried to do too much to impress a new set of eyes, and he says that he put pressure on himself.
"I might have gotten myself into a little bit of trouble thinking that way, thinking, 'There's a lot of other young arms, and you have to go out there and show them what you've got,'" he said. "I might have tried to put a little bit of pressure on myself, instead of saying, 'You know what, I'm going to go out here and pitch like I got drafted by this organization and I'm going to compete.'"
Heidenreich still has an aggressive over-the-top delivery, which includes a dramatic head jerk. That's one of the things he's continuing to work on, smoothing things out while not losing all of his aggression.
"I'm a different person on the mound," Heidenreich said. "I get a little bit too riled up. The head jerk and all the torque and turning, there's a lot of stuff we're trying to break down and minimize. Again, that gets me in trouble. It's hard to hit your spot when you're doing so much extra that you don't need to do. That's going to be the hardest thing for me to break."
But Heidenreich has seen some improvements facing some of the games top prospects in Arizona.
"It's a good feeling when you see it working," he said. "It's like, 'OK, now you kind of give yourself to them and let them have their way with you.' It helps to see the difference. When you're holding these weird grips and doing these weird things, you're like, 'What am I doing? Man, I got here doing this other stuff. Why am I doing this?' All of a sudden, you start to see what they're talking about. You're like, 'These guys know what they're doing.'"
Strom, hired shortly after the end of the season to take the reins of Houston's young up-and-coming pitcher corps, lives in Tucson, Ariz., and frequently drives up to the Phoenix area to check on Heidenreich's progress. The pair worked extensively in the bullpen Wednesday.
"He's been awesome," Heidenreich said. "The first day I met him, we talked about pitching. The second day, he came back and watched me pitch. And the third day, he started telling me, 'We're working every day until your next start.'"
The makeover continues.

Dachshund Helps Gay Man Come Out In Adorable Video
If you didn't think coming out videos could get any sweeter, along comes YouTuber Ivan Cruz who is lent a helping paw from his dachshund Thor to come out to the world.
Ivan writes at YouTube:
I never imagined the day I'd come out. For a long time, I lived in the same fear that many others currently live in. With the help of my best-four-legged-friend, Thor, I decided to make this video and share my coming out story. A big thanks to all the brave people on here who have taken the time to share their own coming out stories and that have inspired me to do the same.
This is my story. Enjoy.
Beautiful story but very disappointing that you used a "pit bull" as the protagonist. If the goal of this video is to fight discrimination, you have helped those that are bullied, ridiculed and outcast because of their sexual orientation but you have fed the unfair negative stereotype of another group of beings that are routinely discriminated against, pit bulls. You are clearly a dog lover so I encourage you to learn more about pit bulls and the social and legal discrimination they face. Just like you, they deserve to be judged as individuals. Visit http://www.pbrc.net/ to learn more.
Some people say that black magic are dangerous but Dr.Zabaza has proved them wrong by bringing my lover back to me through the means of black magic within 48 hours. Today been 1st/feb/2014 has made it two months that my lover came back to me through the help of Dr.Zabaza and now we are planning to get married. So people save your marriage or restore your broken relationship by contacting Dr.Zabaza through these details email@example.com or call on him on +2348182620374
First of all Dylan you dickless wonder, your words repulse me, you need your head examined for the mindless comments your laid out here, like old as the damn hills what you just said. These guys are more of a man then you ever wished you were. Listen I love their style and creativity and love both of them in general. I have a 6 foot 8 father of a gay man who would love more to have this conversation with you, think you would be standing after this.I cant help to talk to devil boy, Dylan go to hell and take the flint with you and your hill jack kind. Sorry to the rest of the world that I have been lowered to talk to this one, but you take up the air that I breathe, so if it weren't for spaces like this one, you'd have not have a space.
The bible also says "let he who iswithout sin, cast the first stone" Dylan, the hatred you harbor is unrealistic, unneeded and does more harm to yourself then to any gay man, woman or child. Why would you harbor this poison? Your a snake and a feeble mind and soul. Your god would be sickened to see you stand befor the gates of heaven while asking for entry to the wonders within. However if you could find it inside yourself, to let go of this sad hatred, you may live a happy life. But unroll then, don't breed. We don't need ignorant sociopaths to be created by the tainted heart inside your chest.
You are clearly biblically illiterate. Try reading the *entire* bible rather than selectively quoting what others have told you is in it. It's not that hard, it's a single book.
But then again, you might find out that you and probably your entire set of loved ones are all bound for hell.
If you do actually put in the effort to read Gods book, you're not only going to be shocked, but you may also find a path to redemption.
Good luck.
WOW.......Ivan this was one of the best stories i have seen and you brought me to tears. I had a hard coming out at first my family did not want ant thing to do with me, but they saw that i was still living life and having fun. I just prayed to god that some day they would understand and just love me. And one day my mother cam to me and said no matter what i was her son and she would all ways love me. And that was all i needed.
Very sweet, I just wish you hadn't portrayed a pitbull as the mean/gossiping dog. They always take the bad wrap for everything when they are very sweet, tolerant dogs who love unconditionally and fiercely and are super loyal. I have many gay friends with loving pitbulls, Dobermans, Rottweillers, and more.
In letting go of something so personal like this, one gains so much more in doing so! Ivan your a remarkable young man with a very bright future ahead....Keep your chin high, and as your best friend does wag your tail with pride! My wishes are for a joyous heart, health and prosperity to you always! Many thanks for sharing your story in such a clever and joyful way!

The most talked about Erotic Thriller 'Hate Story 2' rolls finally. The film is a sequel to 2012's money-spinner thriller Hate Story which was produced by Vikram Bhatt and Directed by Vivek Agnihotri. Hate Story 2 is directed by Vishal Pandya who is an associate director to Vikram Bhatt.
Vishal Pandya had earlier directed 'Three-Love, Lies and Betrayal' in 2008. Hate Story is his second directorial venture which stars Surveen Chawla and Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead. According to the director, Hate Story 2 is based on Mumbai's dirty politics and how a woman uses her mind to play her games. "We were actually planning some other film and Vikramji (Vikram Bhatt) told me why not to write the sequel of our own Hit Film. That's how Hate Story 2 happened. The casting for the film was very difficult. It took me almost 4 months to cast every single actor for Hate Story 2." revealed Vishal Pandya.

Like the plumage of a peacock, or the buttocks of a mandrill
Or some other bits, impressive in their sight, or smell, or touch
If some arbitrary feature signals reproductive fitness
Evolution may be focused on that feature for a while
The result? Exaggeration of a reproductive signal
Just a part of evolution, but it really has a style!
Imitation and intelligence are (sometimes) found in humans
In proportions far outstripping our survival needs, it seems
In our search for reproduction, we've developed all of culture—
For the species known as humankind, our peacock's tail is memes
In the New York Times "Opinionator", Sue Blackmore replicates her TED talk on memes and temes:
All around us information seems to be multiplying at an ever increasing pace. New books are published, new designs for toasters and i-gadgets appear, new music is composed or synthesized and, perhaps above all, new content is uploaded into cyberspace. This is rather strange. We know that matter and energy cannot increase but apparently information can.The really attentive reader might remember that I posted Blackmore's TED talk on this topic last year, after seeing Daniel Dennett give a very similar talk on Darwin Day. There is much replication in the world of memes. Some repackagings are, as is to be expected, more successful than others at replicating.
It is perhaps rather obvious to attribute this to the evolutionary algorithm or Darwinian process, as I will do, but I wish to emphasize one part of this process — copying. The reason information can increase like this is that, if the necessary raw materials are available, copying creates more information. Of course it is not new information, but if the copies vary (which they will if only by virtue of copying errors), and if not all variants survive to be copied again (which is inevitable given limited resources), then we have the complete three-step process of natural selection (Dennett, 1995). From here novel designs and truly new information emerge. None of this can happen without copying.
I myself wonder how much of it can be stuffed back into its original box; that is, might it be the case that memetic evolution is not a new type whatsoever, but just one particular result of natural selection? The peacock's tail is much more than it needs to be--so is the human brain, and human behavior, and imitation and culture. But... Darwin wrote about sexual selection; features that are related to reproduction are, evolutionarily speaking, on the fast track for selection. Even the worst (in my subjective but correct opinion) bands somehow seem to attract groupies; the ability to write an earworm of a song clearly has reproductive consequences. Kissinger (eww...) said that "power is the ultimate aphrodisiac". You don't have to be Freud to see that the stuff that advances culture gets you laid.
Which does not, come to think of it, explain the existence of pseudonymous poets. Where is the payoff?
Back to the drawing board.

Fluorophores are catalogued and described according to their absorption and fluorescence properties, including the spectral profiles, wavelengths of maximum absorbance and emission, and the fluorescence intensity of the emitted light. One of the most useful quantitative parameters for characterizing absorption spectra is the molar extinction coefficient (denoted with the Greek symbol e), which is a direct measure of the ability of a molecule to absorb light. The extinction coefficient is useful for converting units of absorbance into units of molar concentration, and is determined by measuring the absorbance at a reference wavelength (usually the maximum, characteristic of the absorbing species) for a molar concentration in a defined optical path length. The quantum yield of a fluorochrome or fluorophore represents a quantitative measure of fluorescence emission efficiency, and is expressed as the ratio of the number of photons emitted to the number of photons absorbed. In other words, the quantum yield represents the probability that a given excited fluorochrome will produce an emitted (fluorescence) photon. Quantum yields typically range between a value of 0 and 1, and fluorescent molecules commonly employed as probes in microscopy have quantum yields ranging from very low (0.05 or less) to almost unity. In general, a high quantum yield is desirable in most imaging applications. The quantum yield of a given fluorophore varies, sometimes to large extremes, with environmental factors, such as metallic ion concentration, pH, and solvent polarity.
The PtK2 cells presented in the digital image above were resident in a culture fluorescently labeled with Texas Red conjugated to the enzyme DNase I, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, and DAPI, targeting globular (unpolymerized) actin, the filamentous F-actin network, and nuclei, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. is enough of a businessman to know his latest fight would be a tough sell, especially after setting records with Canelo Alvarez his last time out.
But sell he must, even though oddsmakers and nearly everyone else give Marcos Maidana little chance in their welterweight title fight Saturday night. A full house is already guaranteed at the MGM Grand hotel arena, but Mayweather needs people at home to pay $64.95 for the fight if he is going to recoup his guaranteed $32 million purse.
So Mayweather hinted this week that this might be his last fight, though few in boxing believe that. He also said he planned to stand in front of Maidana and trade punches with the hard-hitting Argentine, though his history in the ring suggests he won't.
Oh, and he wants to score a knockout, something he's done only once in the last seven years.
"I want to look impressive," Mayweather said. "I want to put on a good show. We don't expect this fight to go the distance."
Mayweather returns to the ring for the first time since dominating Alvarez in boxing's richest bout, taking on Maidana in a fight that even Mayweather seems to have trouble expressing much enthusiasm about. He's a bigger, much more skilled fighter than the Argentine, just part of the reason oddsmakers make him a 11-1 pick to remain undefeated in the 46th fight of a pro career that has made him the richest fighter ever.
Still, Mayweather (45-0, 26 knockouts) says he has to be wary of the power Maidana brings into the ring.
"He's got an 80 percent knockout ratio so I can't go to sleep on this guy," he said. "But guys can't go to the mental level I'm at. I can beat them many ways."
The fight is part of a pay-per-view card that features former champion Amir Khan moving up to welterweight to fight another former champion in Luis Collazo. Khan had campaigned to be Mayweather's opponent and won an online poll set up by Mayweather, who ended up picking Maidana instead.
If Khan is impressive, though, and Mayweather wins as expected, the two could meet later this year.
"I would have loved to fight Floyd Mayweather, but I believe it's really for the best," Khan said. "It gives me a chance to get to 147 and feel my way."
Maidana (35-3, 31 knockouts) earned the fight with a strong showing in his last bout, twice knocking down Adrien Broner on his way to a decision win in December. Though Maidana hits hard, he will be up against a fighter who is such a defensive wizard that he rarely gets hit with more than one punch in any exchange.
"It's very difficult to land a punch against Mayweather," Maidana said. "But when I land a punch I'm going to hit him and not let him go. I will go after him."
Mayweather, who weighed in Friday at 146 pounds to 146 ½ for Maidana, said he welcomes the challenge after easily beating Alvarez last September in a fight that was supposed to be his toughest test.
"If he brings his best maybe he will be the first guy that actually makes me dig in my bag of tricks and pull out my 'A' game," Mayweather said. "Hopefully he will make me bring out my 'A' game because my whole career all I had to use was a 'D' and 'C' game to beat every guy."
If the Alvarez fight showed anything other than Mayweather's talent for making money — and tons of it — it was that a conventional fighter stands little chance against him. He's been dodging punches since before he could walk, and he's a wizard at exploiting whatever weakness he finds in the fighter in front of him.
"I can feel when a guy's gonna punch. I can feel it," Mayweather said. "I don't even have to see it; I can feel it. You know, this is just with experience and being around the sport so long."
Maidana says he can become the first to beat Mayweather because he will be the first to treat him just like any other fighter in the ring.
"Other fighters they show respect, they show fear," he said. "That's one thing I won't show against Mayweather."

Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs.
This Internet music service allows you to select any song in its database and stream for free. The service was recently introduced to the United States after previously being exclusive to Europe. The Linux client is only officially packaged for Debian and Fedora distributions, but is also available in the AUR: spotifyAUR. Officially, they recommend that Linux users run the windows client under Wine. The only catch to using this application as a free user is the inability to go mobile without a premium subscription. There are also the occasional voice ads in between songs for users who do not wish to subscribe.
Spotify also offers free users the ability to create playlist which can be shuffled, and set to repeat tracks. Content provided by Spotify comes in explicit versions as well as censored.
Installing The Client
Choose which client you would prefer. The Linux client is receiving good reviews. However, if you are comfortable with wine and it's configuration, you might want to choose the windows client. Please note that you do NOT need to install both.
Installation of Linux Client
Follow the instructions for installing packages from the AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Installing_packages and install the AUR package here: spotifyAUR. The pkgbuild will automatically download the software. It would be a good use of time to go to the spotify website and create your user account while it's building. If you wish to play local files you will need to install ffmpeg-spotifyAUR as well. You can also install spotify-gnome-gitAUR to control spotify with gnome's media keys.
Installation of Windows Client using Wine
Install Wine
First, you must ensure that you have Wine installed on your system. In addition to installing Wine you will need to take a moment to configure it for the user who will be running the application.
Depending on your choice of architecture it may be necessary for you to enable the multilib repositories. This is necessary to install Wine on x86_64 systems, if not enabled pacman will inform you that the package was not found.
# pacman -Syy # pacman -S wine wine_gecko
Configure Wine
When wine is installed you will need to change some configuration settings using the winecfg application on your every day user account (not root).
$ winecfg
After launching the winecfg application you will be presented with multiple tabs that can assist you in tweaking the performance of the emulator. However for this purpose your main focus will be the Audio tab.
While under the audio tab, you will enable either the ALSA or OSS driver by clicking the check box next to them, depending on what software you prefer to use. Also note that the hardware acceleration will need to be changed from Full to Emulation. When done you may exit the winecfg application.
Failure to perform the above task will result in the inability to hear playback.
Run Installer
Obtaining Spotify can be done by registering for an account on their Website, the application does not offer in-app registration.
However you can obtain the application prior to registering by using the following URL. [1]
After you have registered and downloaded your copy of the installer you will need to run the application through Wine, depending on your setup you may be able to run the application by right clicking the file. If not terminal will work just fine, as long as you run the below command in the directory of your download.
$ wine Spotify\ Installer.exe
Once the application is successfully installed you may run Spotify by using one of the following commands in terminal, or in the ALT+F2 launcher:
If you use a x86_64 copy of ArchLinux, you'll have to run it like this:
$ wine "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Spotify/spotify.exe"
If you use a x86 copy of ArchLinux, you can use this command just fine:
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Spotify/spotify.exe
If you have any additional problems, I recommend setting the winecfg to Windows XP or Windows 7 emulation.
Global Media Hotkeys
Spotify has support for media keys like
XF86AudioPlay, but out of the box they only work inside Spotify. However, with the help of
xdotool it is possible to send your hotkeys to the application. The following script is an example of how to control Spotify from the outside:
#!/bin/sh case $1 in "play") key="XF86AudioPlay" ;; "next") key="XF86AudioNext" ;; "prev") key="XF86AudioPrev" ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 play|next|prev" exit 1 ;; esac xdotool key --window $(xdotool search --name "Spotify (Premium )?- Linux Preview"|head -n1) $key exit 0
Let's call it
musickeys.sh. Make the script executable:
chmod +x musickeys.sh
By executing
./musickeys.sh play you can now toggle playing a song. Now you can bind this script to any tool that catches keypresses. A global solution might be xbindkeys, for Openbox you can use the following example (see Openbox#Configuration for help):
<keybind key="XF86AudioPlay"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>~/bin/musickeys.sh play</execute> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioNext"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>~/bin/musickeys.sh next</execute> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioPrev"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>~/bin/musickeys.sh prev</execute> </action> </keybind>

A Winter Walk in the Woods
If you take a walk in the woods in the winter, you might not see many animals. Many of the forest's animals are sleeping. Some animals, like bears, hibernate in dens through the winter. Fish and frogs bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of ponds and sleep through the cold. But some animals remain busy as it gets cold outside. If you look closely, you might see some of the clues left by these animals.
Many animals build cozy homes for the winter. A hole in a tree trunk might be the entrance to a squirrel's home or a raccoon's nest. A hole in the ground could lead to a den of shrews. A big pile of sticks in a pond could be the top of a beaver's lodge. Fallen logs and old stone walls also provide shelter for animals.
If you walked through the woods after a fresh snowfall, you might find animal clues in the snow. Usually squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons sleep a lot during the winter. But on warmer days, they leave their cozy homes. Then you may see the tiny footprints, or tracks, that these animals leave in the snow. Maybe you would find larger tracks from deer. Deer walk around a lot in the winter. They look for lichen, moss, bark, and leaves to eat.
Have you ever seen tree squirrels running madly this way and that way in the autumn? The squirrels are gathering nuts and seeds to eat during the winter. When snow covers the ground, the squirrels return to the places where they have stored their food. Look for piles of acorn shells on the ground. The pile could be a sign that a squirrel has just finished lunch!
Do you see any freshly chewed tree trunks? Beavers might be busy gathering sticks to repair their lodges and dams. Do you see broken twigs on the ends of tree branches? A deer may have passed this way. Do you see a pile of freshly dug snow? A fox may have been digging in the ground for a meal.
It may be cold and quiet in the winter woods, but if you look closely, you will find all sorts of animal clues.
- hibernate:
- To spend the winter sleeping.
- lichen:
- A plant made up of a fungus and a kind of algae growing together. Lichens form a scaly or branching growth on rocks and trees.
- moss:
- Any of a group of small green plants that do not produce flowers and that often form a dense growth on damp ground, rocks, or tree trunks.
- What kinds of animal clues could you find in the forest in the winter?
[anno: Animal clues in the winter forest could include animal tracks in the snow, piles of nut shells, freshly chewed tree trunks, holes in the ground, broken twigs on branches, beaver lodges on ponds, and freshly dug piles of snow.]
- Which animal clues would you not be able to find in the spring?
[anno: Answers may vary but could include that there would be no snow to reveal animal tracks. There would be no snow to show where a fox had been digging. Piles of acorn shells might be harder to spot in the dirt than they are in the snow.]
- Think about a time when you found an animal clue. What did the clue look like? What kind of animal left the clue?
[anno: Answers will vary.]

Happy Birthday Renee, i hope you like this Angrybirds Cake. I am glad you chose this theme cos i really enjoyed making these birds as angry as can be. I love those adorable pigs and can't imagine that they were the bad guys. What i enjoyed most was the time you spend with me, explaining to me what this angrybirds game is about and all the levels and the special powers of each birds. With all these knowledge imparted, i still do not think i will be able to pass level 1, but i did have the inspiration to make these fondant birds as angry as possible and the pigs as cute as can be. After making so many angry birds and pigs, my fingers have cramped up from kneading the fondant to get the correct colors for each bird and my eyes have gone crossed from the tiny fixtures. I still have to make a catapult and the wooden structure of which the pigs can be placed. I should have made the catapult first as it was the biggest but i was so excited to make the birds which was so gratifying to make that i could not stop but continued to make all the birds that Renee wanted, and i made the catapult at the eleventh hour with regrets. Renee wanted the triangular yellow bird to be on the catapult and the bird was too big. So i had to remake another catapult and persuaded her to use the tiniest one which is the Ice Bird. For the wooden structure, tootsie rolls saved the day.

Christian Bale Roughed Up By Chinese Security Forces In Intense Footage [VIDEO]
Christian Bale could have used a little help from Batman during his recent trip to China.
The actor had gone there to promote his movie 'The Flowers of War,' and decided to step off of the red carpet and also pay a visit to human rights activist Chen Guangcheng, who the Chinese government have placed under house arrest. That's when things got physical for the hotheaded actor.
With a CNN camera crew in tow, Bale attempted to enter Guangcheng's village, but was rebuffed by security officials who shoved him and slapped a camera out of his hand. Whoa, guys. Only Christian Bale gets to go off on cameramen who step in his light.
You can see Bale get roughed up — and also hear him explain why he wants to bring attention to Guangcheng's plight — in the video below.

GWENT Police were among the most unfit forces in England in Wales, new figures from the College of Policing revealed.
The figures show results of bleep tests part of new fitness testing, which will be made compulsory by September.
Gwent Police had a 5.5 per cent failure rate, making it the fourth worst out of the 39 forces involved.
Out of 649 police officers from Gwent Police – 613 passed. The male pass rate was higher than the female, with 13 per cent of female Gwent police officers failing the test, as opposed to 2.8 percent of male officers.
The new test was brought in after recommendations made by chief inspector of constabulary Tom Winsor. The Winsor recommendations stated all officers should take an annual "bleep" test. Officers are required to complete a 15-metre shuttle run in increasingly shorter periods, reaching level 5.4 – four shuttles at level 5.
Higher failure rates were seen in Suffolk, West Midlands and West Mercia/Warwickshire. Two forces – Humberside and Northumbria police – boasted a 100 per cent pass rate for both male and female officers.
A Gwent Police spokeswoman said: "The vast majority of Gwent Police officers (94.5%) who have undertaken this test have passed.
"There may be a number of reasons for why an officer fails, and those officers will be given words of advice and support around improving their fitness level. An individual training programme can also be offered to support this process."
National Fitness working group lead, assistant chief constable Rob Price, was pleased with the overall pass rate of 97 per cent. He said: "The results to date are encouraging and show the vast majority of officers tested are fit.
"Police forces are sending their results to the College on a quarterly basis and an equality impact assessment is being carried out on those results.
"New guidance will be issued to forces later this year with a strong emphasis on providing supportive measures to help officers pass the test."
Results from forces will be collated until the end of May when the impact assessment will take place.

An Idaho man was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Monday after driving across the country to launch a one-man attack on the White House using a semi-automatic assault rifle.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 23, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, pleaded guilty last year to terrorism and weapons offenses after firing at least eight rounds at the White House in November 2011.
Ortega Hernandez had told friends "he was on a mission from God to take out Obama," authorities said.
"He was motivated by hatred for the President and the desire to start a revolution against the federal government," said U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. "We are very fortunate that his bullets narrowly missed the U.S. Secret Service officers guarding the White House that night. This 25-year prison sentence demonstrates that anyone who comes to the nation's capital planning to use violence should expect to spend decades behind bars."
In addition to the prison term, Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the District of Columbia ordered Ortega-Hernandez to pay $94,000 in restitution for damage caused to the White House.
A critic of the wars in Afghanistan and Iran, Ortega-Hernandez was outspoken about his contempt for the federal government, and his belief that the US bullied other countries, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Department said evidence shows that Ortega-Hernandez told friends and associates the government is trying to control Americans through Global Positioning System chips, fluoride, and aspartame, an artificial sweetner.
About a month before the shootings, the department said, Ortega-Hernandez made two short videos at a friend's house, praising Osama bin Laden "for having the courage to stand up to the United States," and describing himself as a "cold-hearted warrior of God."
He then drove more than 2,000 miles from Idaho Falls to Washington, DC, armed with a Romanian Cugir SA semi-automatic assault rifle he had purchased for $550, and more than 180 rounds of ammunition.
At about 8:50 p.m. on Nov. 11, 2011, Ortega-Hernandez fired the rifle out the passenger-side window of his car and fled.
One of the bullets struck a balcony directly about a Secret Service officer. Another one impacted less than 20 feet from two other officers.
The FBI determined that the two bullets matched Ortega-Hernandez's assault rifle.
He was arrested on Nov. 16, 2011 in Indiana, Pa.

This is all we have left after our give-away yesterday. Yes, we still can find people who don't have any. But, if they get to the possible behemoth size, you can do one of two things with them: (1) decorate them and enter them into the contest at the Franklin County Fair, and/or (2) chop them up and add them to the compost pile.
Found this recipe, and think it's pretty good:
Zucchini Patties ( found on the Internet, attributed to a Sherry McCarty of Albuquerque, NM)
1 cup baking mix (Bisquick)
1/2 shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded zucchini
2 tablespoons chopped onion (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
1. Combine Bisquick, cheese, salt, eggs, zucchini, and onion in a mixing bowl. Blend well.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet (I used olive oil)
3. Spoon heaping tablespoons of zucchini mixture onto melted butter Fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Place browned patties on a paper towel. Add more butter (olive oil) to the skillet when necessary for additional batches. Serves 5 to 6.
This recipe first appeared in American Profile Magazine, and came from a website called "Relish"
You might include diced red peppers, or crumbled cooked sausage or hamburger - or use a sharp cheddar.

Travel Preparation Tips
The summer is a season during which many Americans take vacations from work to travel, often to destinations abroad. Traveling can be both an action-packed adventure and a time to kick back and relax. Whatever kind of trip one takes, it is important to make plans to ensure a safe journey. Some safety precautions should be taken before the trip begins.
An important pre-travel step is to visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) destination guide. This web page gives you country by country health information, detailing health risks like yellow fever and cholera. Also check the CDC's travel notices for your destination. This page offers recently updated travel information, including disease outbreaks and weather-related risks like earthquakes and hurricanes.

Summer Survival Tips: Insect Sting Allergies
With the summer comes wonderful outdoor treats: picnics, barbecues, camping, bike rides, trips to the beach, and more. Unfortunately, the summer also brings with it some not so wonderful things: stinging insects like bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and fire ants to name the most common. For most people, an insect sting means only an annoying stinging sensation accompanied by mild swelling. For some, however, insect venom can cause potentially fatal anaphylaxis. Severe symptoms include nausea, facial swelling, breathing difficulty, abdominal pain, and a drop in blood pressure and circulation.
Mild symptoms can be taken care of relatively easily. The following steps are usually sufficient treatment for mild reactions: move to a insect-free area; remove the stinger; apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a towel; apply hydro-cortisone cream, calamine lotion, or a baking soda paste; and take an antihistamine containing diphenhydramine.

Get Involved This Summer!
This long period of economic hardship in the U.S. has been accompanied by at least one positive trend: an increasing mood of charity among Americans. Many people are volunteering their time and energy to positive causes.
If you wish to contribute personally, there are many ways to provide assistance to those in need. One way to offer support to the well-being of the community is to participate in fundraisers like awareness walks and events. Below are a few suggested activities.
To help raise awareness for mental health issues and reduce the stigma of mental illnesses during May--Mental Health Month--local chapters of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) across the country are holding fundraising walks. NAMI offers a guide to the walks online.

Food Allergy Awareness Week: May 8 to May 14
Food Allergy Awareness Week is observed from May 8 to May 14. This annual observance was initiated in 1997 by the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), an organization that advocates on behalf of patients and families. The goal for the week is to educate the public on this potentially life-threatening condition.
A food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to eating a particular food. The symptoms of a food allergy range from hives to digestive problems to potentially life-threatening swelling of airways and a drop in blood pressure. The medical term for this condition is anaphylaxis.
Milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish are the most common foods that cause allergic reactions in the American population. According to the Mayo Clinic, 6 to 8 percent of children under 5, and 3 to 4 percent of adults live with food allergies.

The Importance of Wearing Medical Alert Jewelry: Spread the Word
Our last blog highlighted the importance for people with certain conditions to wear medical alert jewelry. The potentially fatal consequence of not wearing a medical ID signals a need for personal and community-based awareness campaigns. You, as an individual, can play an important part in spreading this important message.
There are a number of ways to approach a campaign to spread awareness of the importance of wearing medical alert jewelry. The first step to any awareness campaign is research and planning. You will have to decide whether to focus on one particular condition--diabetes or epilepsy, for instance--or to focus on the topic of medical ID jewelry in general. Research the condition(s) to make certain you have the facts straight. Statistics on the issue will help communicate your message more effectively.

Sour beers are a prime example of the "sounds weird, tastes awesome" phenomenon. It's no brewing mistake—these beers are intended to taste tart or acidic, a flavor they owe to the wild yeast or bacteria used in the brewing process. The science is complicated, but the results are some of the most interesting and refreshing beers on the market. And they're not just for beer geeks anymore; they're on tap and on shelves around the city, if you know where to look. With more Chicago-area breweries jumping on the sour bandwagon, now's the right time to try this sought-after style. Here are some expert tips for sour skeptics.
email@example.com @redeyeeatdrink
1. Try them with food.
At West Loop restaurant The Publican, beer director Michael McAvena has been blending his own lambic doux—a Belgian style of sour beer—for years, and he also presides over a beer list that spotlights other sour styles. Still, they're not always an easy sell. "The easiest way to present it is with food in a pairing that highlights the beer," McAvena said. "Flemish sours are amazing food beers because they are sweet and sour and they go with almost anything. I think the Flemish sours are a good way to start because they're not as jarring." McAvena recommends a Monk's Cafe Flemish sour ale with The Publican's charcuterie plate, or a lambic alongside oysters.
2. Seek out a deal.
At Binny's locations, assistant beer buyer Kyle Fornek has seen an increased interest in sour styles over the past few years, though he says it remains a niche market in part due to the beers' sometimes high prices. "There's not that many breweries that make [sour beers] and a lot of them are really expensive, too, around $20 to $30 a bottle," Fornek said. He cites Chicago-based brewery Pipeworks' three Berliner weisse beers as popular, as well as sour styles from Placentia, Calif.'s The Bruery. But if you're looking for a deal, he suggests Belgian bottles such as Brouwerij Bavik's Petrus Oud Bruin and Brouwerij Rodenbach's Grand Cru, which can retail for around $8-$10.
3. Flip your expectations.
Sours definitely don't taste like the pale ales, pilsners and lagers most people are used to. Matt Potts, CEO and brewmaster at Normal, Ill.'s Destihl Brewery, tries to prepare newcomers for his Saint Dekkera line of sour beers by explaining what they can expect before they sip. "I will often first ask if they like sour candy like Shock Tarts to prepare their palates before tasting our sours," Potts said. "I have known Miller drinkers that became hooked on sours in one night. It's hard to get a bigger and quicker conversion than that." He adds that wine drinkers often love his sours, too, because the Saint Dekkera beers have a refreshing, light body. And if the first taste is too surprising? "I'll generally ask people to try at least three sips of it in case the first sip is too shocking."
4. Know what style to look for.
Sour is a category of beer that includes many more specific styles (see sidebar). Each has its own flavors, from fruity sweetness to vinegar dryness. Sample a few until you find the one that suits your taste, then keep an eye out for it on menus and store shelves. "Saying a beer is a sour beer is similar to saying a beer is a hoppy beer. There is so much else that can go into it," said Tom Korder, a brewer at Penrose, a brewery that plans to open in west-suburban Geneva, Ill. in the late summer or early fall with a focus on sour beers. "That's why usually I clarify it even further: There's lambics, Berliner weisses, goses, all with their own characteristics."
The sour rainbow
Sour is an umbrella category that, according to beer judging criteria, includes the following styles:
Berliner weisse: A German style of pale wheat ale with tart flavors
Flanders red ale: An aged Belgian-style beer with red wine-like flavors
Flanders brown ale/Oud bruin: An aged Belgian-style brown ale with malty and fruity flavors
Straight (unblended) lambics: A less common style of lambics that is complex, sour and uncarbonated
Geuze: A balanced blend of one-, two- and three-year aged lambics with light carbonation
Fruit lambic: Often a blend of multi-year lambics, but with the addition of fruit such as cherries, peaches, raspberries or grapes
Coming attractions
Keep an eye out for sour beers from two Chicago breweries. Off Color Brewing's gose, Troublesome, will be on tap soon at bars such as Map Room, Hopleaf and Big Star, while Goose Island's peach sour, Halia, will be released in October.

It's a credit to commissioner David Stern that the NBA has, for years now, attempted to take the lead on the issue of homosexuality and big-time sports. It was just a little over two years ago that Stern issued a stunning $100,000 fine to Kobe Bryant when Bryant used an anti-gay slur during a game. It was less than a year ago that Stern fined Amare Stoudemire $50,000 for using a slur in a message on Twitter. And when former NBA executive Rick Welts went public with the revelation that he is gay in 2011, he went first to Stern for advice and his blessing.
It should be no surprise, then, that the most groundbreaking news in the history of sports and sexual orientation has come out today, and it centers on the NBA—veteran center Jason Collins, now with the Wizards, has come out and announced he is gay on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
— MORE: Jason Collins comes out as gay NBA player | Stanford community reacts
It is a proud day for Collins, of course, but also for Stern, who has done his best over the previous decade to create an environment in his league that would be welcoming to Collins. In the wake of Bryant's fine, Stern said that he didn't think the league's players were inherently hostile to gay people, but that he had to be vigilant in making it that way.
"I think that, left unresponded to, statements like that could lead to a hostile work environment, and we're not going to have it," Stern said. "I don't want to become a social crusader on this issue but I think sports, male sports, has traditionally not been an inviting environment for gay men to identify themselves. But eventually ... we will get to a place where it is not an issue in sports."
Collins has, for the first time, made it an issue, and Stern immediately reacted to the news of the announcement: "As (deputy commissioner) Adam Silver and I said to Jason, we have known the Collins family since Jason and (twin brother) Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family. Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue."
In the story, Collins, who played in Boston before being traded to the Wizards this February, said he was inspired to finally come out after the city's Gay Pride Parade. "I realized I needed to go public when Massachusetts congressman Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade," Collins said. "I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, 'Me, too.'"
He also said that he chose to wear the No. 98 in honor of Matthew Shepard, the University of Wyoming student who, "was kidnapped, tortured and lashed to a prairie fence. He died five days after he was finally found." The incident occurred in 1998.
— MORE: NBA players react to Collins coming out as gay
Collins now will certainly become a lightning rod on the subject of gay rights, and in assuming that mantle of leadership, could inspire more gay athletes to follow suit. That's not to say that Collins won't face challenges—from opposing fans, from fellow players—going forward, but the NBA has long appeared to be the most likely place for an active athlete to come out. Now that he has become the first, Collins will be far better known than the 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds he has averaged in his career would warrant. Collins began the day with fewer than 4,000 followers on Twitter, but by the early afternoon, he was at 20,000.
In the wake of his announcement, he drew reaction from all quarters.
Former President Bill Clinton said in a statement: "I have known Jason Collins since he was Chelsea's classmate and friend at Stanford. Jason's announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community. It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities. For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive. I hope that everyone, particularly Jason's colleagues in the NBA, the media and his many fans extend to him their support and the respect he has earned."
Tennis great Martina Navratilova also chimed in, saying on Twitter, "Well done Jason Collins—you are a brave man. And a big man at that. :) 1981 was the year for me- 2013 is the year for you."
Probably the most comforting notion for Collins, though, is that there has been widespread positive reaction from within the NBA itself. In a statement, Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld said, "We are extremely proud of Jason and support his decision to live his life proudly and openly. He has been a leader on and off the court and an outstanding teammate throughout his NBA career. Those qualities will continue to serve him both as a player and as a positive role model for others of all sexual orientation."
Bryant himself sent a message on Twitter Monday morning, reading, "Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don't suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others. #courage #support"
Point guard Baron Davis, too, Tweeted, "I am so proud of my bro @jasoncollins34 for being real."
From rookie Royce White, who has struggled with mental illness: "As a firm supporter of the LGBTT, of course I support & applaud @jasoncollins34, brave decision. Facing stigma head on, thank you."
Conversations with general managers on Monday showed, too, that league locker rooms would be accepting of Collins or any other gay player. "You might have individuals who would have a problem here or there," one general manager told SN. "But for every one who has a problem, you'd have five guys defending him. Every locker room has some tensions. A gay player would probably wind up pretty low on the list."
Again, Stern deserves some credit for the environment that exists in the NBA, in which a gay player can receive widespread support. This is, after all, something Stern saw coming. It was just a little more than two years ago when, at the league's Board of Governor's meeting, Stern said this: "It's going to be hard, but it'll happen, I have no doubt about it."
How right he was.

"Contemporary Art Wins a Beachhead: The La Jolla School of Arts 1960-1964"
Where: Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way
When: Through July 8
Admission: $8
Phone: (760) 435-3720
Artists complaining about being disrespected and disregarded; people complaining about artists making art nobody likes; institutions complaining about a lack of financial support.
That's not from last week. That's from the early '60s, a neglected moment in San Diego's cultural history when, just before the founding of UC San Diego's art department, a newly expanded Art Center in La Jolla — now the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego — had a serious, college-level visual arts school.
"I grew up here and it was all news to me," said David Hampton, curator for "Contemporary Art Wins a Beachhead: The La Jolla School of Arts 1960-1964" at the Oceanside Museum of Art through July 8. "It wasn't something people talked about when they talked about art in San Diego. And aside from the people who lived through it, it has been forgotten for all practical purposes."
While it would be too much to call it a golden age for the arts in La Jolla, it presaged by more than a decade the Art Center's turn toward contemporary art, and it brought a bracing mix of artists and art students into the unabashedly conservative community.
"During a one-year period (1963), walking home from school, I was stopped 37 times," said San Diego artist James Aitchison, then a student at the school. "La Jolla was a very small town, and if you looked like an art student, you were suspect."
But it was not just law enforcement that was skeptical of Aitchison and his ilk. Many of the practicing artists in La Jolla, as well as their patrons, tended toward landscape or portrait painting. They had little use for the edgier tendencies of the Art Center's faculty or their beatnik-like appearance.
"Most of them (the artists working in the community) were more conservative, by and large," said former Art Center faculty member Fred Holle, who is now based near San Francisco. "Many of them were very competent painters, but there wasn't much in the way of experimentation or risk. It was basically redoing what had already been pretty well resolved.
"That's why with the advent of the Art Center school, we generated to some degree considerable interest in more experimental approaches to painting and drawing and things of that nature."
Hampton's exhibit focuses on six members of the school's full-time faculty: Don Dudley, Sheldon Kirby, Guy Williams, Rhoda Lopez, Malcolm McClain and Holle.
Holle had attended two years of art school and served four years in the Navy when he arrived in La Jolla in 1958 and started teaching drawing classes at the Art Center. He came of age as an artist as he and his colleagues grappled with what Holle (using a phrase from critic Gerald Nordland) called the current "contemporary cliché" — Abstract Expressionism.
"When you use the word cliché, it sounds false, but it was a very profound and genuine thing," Holle said. "I personally grew up as a figurative artist. I went to schools that taught me traditional forms and grounded me in that way. So it was a revelation for me to be involved in (Abstract Expressionism). I learned so much from it.
"I'm back to the figure, but in a whole different way. I realize the value of intuition and the truth it generates."
Both Holle and Aitchison described the school's atmosphere as "charged," as if they were working on the edge, creating possibilities and making something new.
"As a student it was magical," Aitchison said. "Because you had a faculty that wasn't teachers; they were artists. And they spoke to us as artists. So we had this conversation going on all the time, not between student and teacher, but between young artist and older artist."
The school had the usual assortment of colorful personalities typical of art schools: the gruff McClain, who taught sculpture and could be brutally honest with his students and colleagues (or just brutal), and the more refined Kirby, who taught color theory and had a more engaging personality.
"He was the only guy I knew who could take one brown and make it look like a myriad of colors," Holle said of Kirby. "He just had a natural gift for that. He was really in a way my mentor, not in terms of style, but in terms of his attitude, his maturity, and at times, his profound silence."
Although the school attracted dozens of students, hosted lectures by noted artists and curators from Los Angeles and New York, and briefly sustained two commercial galleries (Louis Sander's Art Works and Marlene Williams' i Gallery), financial issues forced the Art Center to take a second look at its fledgling program.
The institution was still dealing with the economic fallout from building new studios and Sherwood Auditorium in the late '50s. With the establishment of an art department at UC San Diego, the Art Center entered an arrangement with the university to host extension classes instead of running its own school.
The Art Center faculty was given the opportunity to teach the extension classes, and Lopez accepted and was soon joined by John Baldessari, then living in National City, and Richard Allen Morris. But most of the school's faculty, including Holle, left town, soured by the way the Art Center had closed the school.
"I was the youngest and I was the most naive," Holle said. "I believed it when (they) said it was going to work out. Of course I was wrong; we were all wrong. I hated to leave San Diego, but the point is, it didn't feel the same."
If Holle and his colleagues felt unappreciated by the Art Center, it's a theme that has been repeatedly sounded with no simple resolution.
"When I go back and read the writing, even in the '30s, about San Diego, they are always complaining about the lack of awareness, lack of support San Diego has (for artists)," said Hampton, who also guest-curated the recent "Pacific Standard Time"-affiliated "San Diego's Craft Revolution — From Post-War Modern to California Design" exhibit at the Mingei Museum.
"It's been a theme, decade after decade after decade: There may be a lot of talent here, but the question is, what can San Diego do with and for its art people?"Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

I am 3.5 player and have used this string for about 4 years. It is responsive and I am able to generate a lot of power.
According to my son this string is excellent. It creates a lot of spin, gives you power, pop, and a crisp feel. He loves it.
My daughter just began playing with this string and it only took one session for this to be her preferred string.
This is the best string I have ever played with.Long lasting even with heavy hitting and lots of spin.
Very good very durable and very affordable strings
This is a very good string, emphasizing spin, but exhibiting great power as well. Can lose a bit on the control side, perhaps arguing for a 17 gauge configuration.
This hybrid string combination is used by many top professional players who demand the best of all worlds of power, control, and durability! I prefer to use the gut on the mains, and this offers significant insurance for the health of all your joints associated with hitting a tennis ball. The durability is excellent as they last me 3-6 months despite playing four times per week on clay and hard courts. Midwest Sports maintains abundant inventory and the shipping is most reliable.
Great String, I used they in my Blade 98, I get a little more power and control on my ground strokes and servers. But when the strings starts to notch it tend to fly on me. So I need to restring my racket often.
Perfect all around string for string breakers. Thinner gauge for better play and tension maintenance.
Like the spin this string adds to the ball.
they are great cross strings for having good control on your racket. I wouldn't put it on mains and crosses
H.S. tennis coach and PTC suggested this string for me. I'm a heavy hitter with modest topspin. Noticeable improvement in power and spin with this string. I hope it will be durable.
Quickness of receiving the order.
Babolat RPM Blast 16G Tennis String has great spin, feel and durability. Can't beat it!
Great feel!!! My game improved since I started using this string. Won't change it!
Great feel!!! My game improved since I started using this string. Won't change it!
Really like the string - bought it after researching on internet -
Works well on my new babolat French open edition. Great value for the price!
Long lasting string that has the feel and spin that you need.
Long lasting string that has the feel and spin that you need.
A bought a stringing machine a year ago and over the winter experimented with all kinds of string set ups both full beds and hybrids. Ithis experiment included poly, synthetic gut, kevlar, and multifilaments. I always wanted to do this and just see which string would be the best. We'll a full bed of RPM BLAST is by far the best. I string my aeropro drive gt at 58 lbs and couldn't be happier.
with a good price.
well, while this is a very good string, one shouldn't be using it as the only string in his/her rackets. it's a great hybrid string match with hurricane pro or ... otherwise it's lacks a few aspects of the game (spin, power) and the string keeps running off and you need to constantly pull them in position after each shot
I used RPM blast on the mains and Gamma TNT on the crosses all at 52 lbs on my Wilson Steam 99s racket. They played fantastic with tons of feel, power and enough comfort on my arm to aid my tennis elbow pain (considering they are a polyester). The only drawbacks I had was 1) durability- they lasted only two or two and a half weeks, although I have a very open string pattern- and 2) price. Overall a fantastic string for someone who doesn't mind restringing their racket often.
I love the Babolat Xcel string. It has all the comfort and power of comparable Technifibre multifilament strings like NRG2 and TGV with as good or better durability/ tension maintenance. Certainly better durability than the Volkl multis I've tried.
Great string that goes on the mains, pairs well with Xcel 16G on the crosses, provides great spin and feel at net as well as power from the baseline. Great durability as well
Great string that goes on the cross strings, provides excellent feel and pairs well with the Pro Hurricane Tour 16G string
My son put this on his new AeroPro racquet and loved the spin he was able to put on the ball. We were not impressed with its durability after it broke 2 months of use. He is trying a different string now.
Had this string put on my new racquet and I am impressed with its durability.
I love this string. Durable! Already more than a year since the last time had my racket got strung with Pro Hurricane and still looks brand new and not even one knick that's showing.
Did a fair amount of research on arm friendly strings and really glad I picked this string. Arm friendly but still gives me power and spin when I want it.
Did a fair amount of research on arm friendly strings and really glad I picked this string. Arm friendly but still gives me power and spin when I want it.
Best playable & durable string on the market. Have used this for several years & it never disappoints.
Great string. Nice spin, control, and comfort.
Had been using a Luxilon BB for the last 7 or 8 years and this string seems to be as durable with better feel. Would recommend to anyone who needs durability with heavy groundies.
Holds tension well. Nice spin
I always find myself coming back to this string and wondering why I left it. Durable, spin, power, and not too stiff either.
wonderful string and have better feel than Luxilon 16 or luxilon 4G
Love the spin and control I get from this string. Tried others and always come back to this one. Just ordered 4.
Noticed improvement on serves and groundstrokes right away. A real winner set of string.
I'm not a huge hitter so I don't break poly strings too often. I replace these strings every few months usually because of tension loss. Excellent for helping to create extra topspin
My preferred string bed, Alu Power Rough (main) x RPM Blast (cross). This gives me the additional control and spin.
Great control and spin- comfortable for a poly and offers just the right amount of pop, I love it!
this string it++̭-˳ so confortable to use in low tension in my racquet, my arm feel so great.
I've been playing tennis for almost 40 years, and this Babolot RPM Blast is by far the best string I have ever played with. Its power, control, and durability are unmatched. Thank you for developing such a superior product.
More feel than RPM 16 or Big Banger and maintains good power. Get 10-16 hrs playing time before breaks (similar to Big Banger). 18 gauge breaks 6-8 hrs, but has even more control
Had my new racket strong with Blast string at 53lbs. So far I really like it
great feel and control, with good pop
I bought these strings because Nadal used them and I found out they were great. They lacked a little feel but the power and spin were great. They have decent control and durability is not an issue
Worked well as a replacement on my son's E-series. He it well and said it worked great.
My arm is so happy with this new string, the feeling is awesome.
This string provided plenty of pop but I felt that it lacked any feel and was harsh to my aging arm.
I was given a suggestion from an opponent to try this new the pro hurricane because I broke to strings while we were playing. It's given me a lot more spin and it's durability is exceptional. Being a lefty, spin is an added bonus!!! I've tried other strings but always go back. Hope they never stop making this string
Switched my strings to this RPM Blast. Could tell a huge difference in the spin of the ball, lost a little on control. But with practice it'll improve. Also found a bigger sweet spot.
My 13 year old who plays with a lot of top spin has tried a number of different strings over the past year and settled on this one. He likes the feel of the Dunlap silk but gets a little more pop on the ball with the Babolat Power. As a note. My 11 year old that hits the ball a lot harder but not as much spin does not like this string and uses the addiction.
My 11 year old who needs a string that can do about everything well. He's tried the stings for more spin or more power but always falls back to this one that seems to be right in the middle and does everything well. He plays with a Drive Z. I would highly recommend.
Seems working fine. First time using this string. Nothing I don't like so far.
Very satisfied with the 16g rpm blast my game improved after switching To this gut. Been using sonic pro 17g before and hit the ball always out . With the rpm blast i can hit the ball with spin more control in the base line thumbs up also at the Volley...
I've tried LOTS of different strings, and this one might be my favorite so far. A good balance of power and control, and good spin as well. Strung at 56 lbs. Power: 7/10 - It has some nice pop. Not as much power as Weiss Cannon Explosiv, but a moderate amount. Spin: 9/10 - The string feels slick, but the hexagonal shape gives it some bite on the ball. About as much spin as the Luxilon ALU rough. Control: 7/10 - Pretty good control, a good balance considering the power. Feel: 8/10 - I like the feel. It's not as stiff as the Luxilon ALU strings, so it has a softer feel.
No words to describe this string. It is the best poly string in the market, the feeling is amazing, the spin is incredible. I also try the dual string but I think this is superior.
With so many good choices out there, this product stands out. If the price does not bother you, go for it. RPM plays well with very good spin, as advertised.
The feeling you get off of the RPM Blast strings are amazing. Top of the line comfort and spin. No wonder why Rafa uses this string. Simply awesome. Definitely going to have to buy more in the future!
This is the second time I have strung my racquet with this string. Great for spin and control, but I play 4 times a week and the string started to fray after a week but still played well.
has all the power you need with total spin ability to hit all the angles.
I love this string! I had tennis elbow and after using this string for about two weeks--it was so much better! I play with the Babolat Pure Drive and at first was stringing it at about 58... Now I have no tennis elbow and I am back to stringing my racquet at 61-62.
This string would not be on my list of must haves. I has stringer found this string very soft and hard to string a racquet with, now the people I string for seem to like it and they seem to get good play, and it seems to last and hold tension fairly well.
I've been using babolat pro hurricane string for 3yrs now and this string is really durable and a lot of pop on my racquet and last long. I recommend this good string to all club players.
