For the Man Behind FinisherPix, the 100th Time's a Charm
An IRONMAN photographer gets prime spectator position, yes. But a cushy job? Far from it.
by Emma Bishop and Marieka Barnard
IRONMAN competitors, who descend upon towns in a parade of bright gear, aren't exactly a subtle presence. But Robbie Little, director of the FinisherPix photography team, is an expert at the art of blending in. The man behind the lens has conducted a symphony of digital eyes with meticulous precision at 100 IRONMAN races. We caught up with the three-time IRONMAN finisher to celebrate his centennial achievement in South Africa.
100 IRONMAN! Well done. What keeps you coming back for more?
There is a special energy at an IRONMAN. I have known and worked with some amazing people around the world and when we are all doing our respective jobs on race day, it feels like a well-oiled machine. It's incredibly rewarding work because you get to capture people in what could be the most significant day of their lives.
How did you start off in sports photography?
I was hired as a camera loader. My job was to take the camera from the photographer, rewind the film and get a new roll in ready to go again. It was fast-paced and we had to wrap tape around our fingertips because the skin would wear down and blister from winding so many rolls of film. Digital is so much easier on the hands!
What's the biggest challenge in shooting an IRONMAN event?
Management of the whole event. Shooting is the fun part and why everyone wants to go shoot Kona. But it's the nuts and bolts of the operation: what we do outside of the race by preparing for every eventuality that determines success on race day.
How long is your work-day?
Typically 22 hours, sometimes more. My team is often required to sit in one position in whatever weather the gods throw at them for up to eight hours. And while we're on course shooting, another team is processing all the images at the nerve centre so the 50-60,000 images can be online for athletes as soon as possible.
What do you remember about the first IRONMAN event you worked?
It was IRONMAN Florida 1999. Still a relatively unknown sport at the time, to me it was "that crazy event that happens in Hawaii every October." I think I was awake for 41 hours straight and, the truth is, I had no clue what I was getting myself into - but I was hooked on the excitement of the event and I knew I could help bring the photography to new heights.
What's the toughest event you ever shot?
IRONMAN Wisconsin 2006. It was a tough day all around, especially for the athletes. I was soaking wet by 10 am. By 8 pm, someone sent a plate of food to the finish line, but I was shaking so much from the cold that I couldn't get the food to stay on the fork. On the positive side, I learned from then on to carry equipment and clothing for every eventuality, regardless of weather forecast.
How can an athlete help make your life easier?
It's not always easy but for the pros especially, look good when you finish (even if it hurts). Hold the banner high, pause for five to 10 seconds and smile! Of course, if it's a sprint finish, disregard this and do what you have to do. We love those photos, too.
For age group athletes, try to keep your number visible at all times. I know this can be hard, but it really does help. Also, don't worry about stopping your watch, the timer has you covered. Keep your arms raised as you cross the line and keep an eye out for finishers ahead of or behind you as you make your way down the finish chute and we will do our best to capture your moment.
Any tips for spectators?
By the time the last swimmers are coming in, a lot of spectators have moved on. I say stick around if you can. I've seen as many gut-wrenching emotional moments of athletes trying to get in under 2:20 as I have those trying to make it under 17 hours. It's powerful and addictive stuff.

Reduction of shunt obstructions using "contactless" ventricle puncture? Results of a randomized prospective multicenter study
Search Medline for
|September 16, 2010
Objective: Shunt obstructions are caused partially by brain tissue particles, which intrude into the ventricular catheter during ventricle puncture. Avoiding the contact between the catheter and the brain tissue using a peel-away-sheath should reduce shunt failures due to obstruction. To prove this hypothesis a randomized prospective multicenter study was performed – approved by the ethical committee of the medical association Hamburg (Reg.No: OB/IV/03).
Methods: From 2004 to 2008 201 patients receiving a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt were included in six different centers. One hundred seventy-seven patients completed the one year follow-up. Surgery with or without the peel-away-sheath was randomized, from the 177 surgeries 91 were performed with, 86 without a peel-away-sheath. The rate of shunt obstructions within 12 months was recorded. The statistical analysis was done with nonparametric Mann-Whitney-Test.
Results: Within 1 year after surgery we observed 17 shunt obstructions (9.6%) leading to shunt revision. There was no difference using a peel-away-sheath (n=9 of 91, 9.89%) or not (n=8 of 86, 9.30%). The overall shunt infection rate was 2.82% and the revision-rate for overdrainage was 3.95%.
Conclusions: Despite the theoretical benefit of using a peel-away-sheath for introducing the ventricle catheter, its advantage over standard procedure could not be proved in this study. The described mechanism of shunt obstruction might be overestimated.

Covitz:Tragedy clouds job fates for Crennel, Pioli
Tragedy clouds job fates for Crennel, Pioli
The way the Chiefs coach and general manager dealt with last week could affect the decision on whether to bring them back.
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
A week ago, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel displayed extraordinary leadership skills when he calmly led his team and staff through a horrific crisis.
Crennels composure and ability to hold together a heartbroken Chiefs organization in the hours after linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and himself captured the admiration of not just those in Kansas City, but across the country.
But now that the tears have dried and the business of football resumes, a dilemma hovers over the franchise. How does one separate sympathy for Crennel and general manager Pioli who were courageous in trying to dissuade Belcher from taking his life and witnessed the suicide from the frustration of a miserable season on the field?
Even if the Chiefs, 2-10, manage to win a few of their four remaining games, starting with todays visit to Cleveland, 4-8, this season will rank as one of the most disappointing in franchise history.
Chiefs Nation, through protests on game day and failing to fill Arrowhead Stadium as in years past, is demanding a housecleaning. Fans want changes in the front office, coaching staff and at quarterback, though the tragic events of last weekend muffled the outcry as a show of respect for Crennel and Pioli.
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt hadnt shown any indication that changes were coming soon, or at all, during the teams eight-game losing streak, a dismal slide that was snapped with last weekends improbable 27-21 victory over Carolina. And the timing for making a change now would be grossly insensitive, considering what Crennel, Pioli and the team have gone through.
Its even possible that the manner in which Pioli and Crennel comported themselves in the eye of danger and the way they comforted a fragile team in the aftermath will convince Hunt to stay the course despite a 2-14 or 4-12 season.
I dont think anybody gets fired after one season, said veteran defensive lineman Shaun Smith. Anythings possible. Hes still coaching us, he said he aint going to throw in the towel, and I believe him. Thats why I like playing for him, because hes a fighter no matter what the situation is.
It was just about a year ago Dec. 12 that Crennel took over as interim head coach in place of Todd Haley. He was promoted to head coach permanently after the Chiefs went 2-1 in their final three games, including an upset of then-13-0 Green Bay in Crennels debut.
But the Chiefs have been a punch line for most of this season, including their epic eight-game streak of failing to lead a game in regulation and a league-high 32 turnovers.
Crennel, 65, still has two more years left on his contract, which may give him some security, though he could be forced to make changes on his coaching staff to retain the job.
Pioli, it is believed, has one more year remaining on his original five-year contract. The Chiefs are 23-37 under his watch, and if Hunt decides to change coaches, its hard to see him entrusting Pioli to make a third hire in five years.
If the clamoring for change in Kansas City is affecting Crennel, he isnt showing it just as he didnt show the strain of the nightmare he experienced last weekend.
We cant worry about whos flying (anti-Pioli) banners or what other people think, Crennel said a day before the Belcher tragedy. You cant please all the people all the time. You have to try to do your job the best you can do it, and hopefully on Sunday you can come out with a victory.
But theres little doubt hes coaching for his future.
When you get into coaching, youre coaching for your career, Crennel said. Every game, youre out front and you get evaluated, and that hasnt changed since Ive been in this game. You worry about the next game, thats what you do.
When you sign up to be a coach, you know your job is on the line. And its on the line every Sunday.
The Chiefs are not the only franchise with club executives and head coaches sitting on the annual December hot seat. Big changes are certain to happen in San Diego, where general manager A.J. Smith and coach Norv Turner are expected to be dismissed; Philadelphia, where Andy Reid, the dean of NFL head coaches with one team, is on his way out; and Carolina, which dismissed general manager Marty Hurney in October. Coaches in Buffalo, Carolina, Dallas, Arizona and Cleveland are also on shaky ground.
Its been 10 years since an NFL season has gone this long without an in-season coaching change. Club owners have probably learned theres little to be gained by firing a coach during the season and elevating an assistant on an interim basis.
Such a move usually provides a short-lived spark to a team as it did for the Chiefs last year before it reverts to the form that led to the coaching change in the first place.
The prevailing feeling around the league is that, come Dec. 31, the day after the regular-season ends, pink slips will fly across the NFL.
The Browns are under new ownership this season, after Jimmy Haslam bought the club from Randy Lerner for $1 billion. Haslam immediately replaced president Mike Holmgren with CEO Joe Banner, who may want to bring in his own general manager and head coach. Browns coach Pat Shurmur, 8-20 in two-plus seasons, is under fire, even though his team, with 17 rookies and 10 others with less than two full years experience, is riding a modest two-game winning streak.
My concerns are always for our team and our coaches moving forward, Shurmur, 47, told reporters last week. I really believe in this group we have and I really believe this is the foundation of something that could be really good. Even though I say that and believe in it, until we start winning football games, thats what shows it. Thats really my concern.
Some of the other stuff about me personally what more can they say about me (on sports talk radio)? Right? I mean, really, think about it. I dont listen to it, but Im told frequently about it. I think thats where the thick-skin part comes in.
Herm Edwards has been in this situation. With two games remaining in the 2008 season, Carl Peterson, the clubs chief executive for 20 years and a mentor to Edwards, parted company with the Chiefs, who were 2-12 at the time and would finish 2-14.
Though Hunt had signed off on a youth movement that contributed to six losses by seven or fewer points in 2008, including two one-point losses and one in overtime, the feeling was that Petersons successor would bring in a new coach, no matter what the Chiefs did in the final two games.
The key is dont get caught up in that, Edwards said of the uncertainty of the final games preceding his dismissal. The hard thing for you as a coach is to make sure everyone else is focused is on the plan the team youre going to play that week. You have to make sure the focus is on the job at hand, and thats to win a football game.
Saying that is easier than doing it. You have coaches concerned, you have players sitting there thinking, Coach is going to be out of here, and were going to be playing for a new coach, and theyre thinking, Whos going to be the guy ? The assistant coaches are having to go home and deal with their wives and saying, You know what, were probably not going to be here.
Sure enough, Pioli, hired in mid-January 2009, dismissed Edwards. And after the Super Bowl, he hired Haley, a former offensive coordinator at Arizona.
This is the part of coaching cycles, Edwards said. At some point in your career, youre going to deal with it. When youre not sitting in that seat, and you see other coaches of other teams that you know are sitting in that seat, you better realize, if you stay in this game long enough, youre going to be in that seat, too. Its just a matter of time.
Edwards, who has been an analyst with ESPN since leaving the Chiefs, tried putting on a brave front for his staff, players and everyone else in the building.
For me, it was simple, Edwards said. Im going to be upbeat, energetic, and Im looking forward to trying to win a football game. Because you know when you win a game the feeling of winning, it puts everything else secondary.
The thing I learned about it is you dont take it personally. Its part of the game.
Much to Crennels credit, its hard to tell whether this Chiefs team is 2-10 or 10-2. The players practice enthusiastically and chat and banter in the locker room while going from practice to meetings.
Certainly, there is an undercurrent of doubt about the future, but theres not a feeling of having to Win One for Romeo.
Everyone in this locker room, especially the guys who have been around, know its a bottom-line business, said offensive tackle Eric Winston. If Im a guy evaluating you dont want to get caught up in a moment, whether its good or bad.
Theyll sit back, look at the totality of things that have happened, and theyll make their decision. Romeo has a lot of great attributes for a head coach. Its not my place to say whether he stays or goes. Im going to do everything I can to win, and usually wins means hes going to stay.
Smith, the Chiefs defensive lineman, also played for Crennel in Cleveland in 2007-08. He said the coach cant be blamed for players dropping passes or committing penalties, two of the biggest culprits in the Chiefs poor record this season.
Ive been with him when we won 10 games in Cleveland and the next year we didnt have a good year, Smith said. Hopefully, we can win these last four games of the season, and well be 6-10. Thats better than two-and-whatever.
But only Hunt knows if that will be enough for Pioli and Crennel to return in 2013. That answer probably will come the week of Dec. 31.

**** you covitz. It hasnt clouded a damn thing. You trot out cassel or pioli next year and arrowhead is going to be a ghost town.
I think a large portion of the fan base has endured enough fail over the last decade to finally be done with you if we dont fix things once and for all. I myself am done with the chiefs if we dont go full bore with a #1 qb.
Its hell or high water time

What?! Who the **** is pleased about being 2-10?

yep, its not about pleasing someone all the time, its about putting a competitive ****ing team out there.
Romeo, hasnt and shouldnt be pleased with ANYTHING this year. There has been nothing positive out of this season. Its a wasted season plain and simple.
Thats why for the first time in my 30 years of watching football i dont care if my team wins. I think the bigger win is the number 1 draft pick and im rooting for that. If that makes me a bad fan, then so be it. Winning 6 games this year does absolutely nothing but puts us higher in the draft.

If Clark retains him after this season of crap, I will start questioning my fandom. AT least at that point there will be no doubt about where the cancer of this team is. The Hunts.
My dear girl, there are some things that just arent done. Such as, drinking Dom Perignon 53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Thats just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.

We suck because our franchise inside Arrowhead is delusional more times than not. Unless they are putting their positive faces on like Herm did, they have to know they have really f**ked up this season and a lot of seasons (outside of 2010).
I'm glad though that Covitz did bring this article up and reminding everyone and the Chiefs that the cloud that hangs over the Belcher ordeal is passing and the Chiefs fanbase hasn't forgotten the sh*tty State we are in as a franchise! You got your week free pass, now we are back to reality.

Sadly I can't disagree with all of the article.
Would it shock anyone if Clark brought Pioli back after the Belcher situation? I wouldn't be...it'd be the final straw tho...

If Pioli comes back, banners should start to target Clark.

Herm's awesome feeling of winning a game got him Glenn Dorsey instead of Matt Ryan. I hope it was worth it. If we had Ryan, he may still have a job here

MPAA Pretends To Capitulate On SOPA, Will Offer Changes For 'Legitimate Concerns'
from the yeah,-ok deptThis is barely even worth mentioning, but it's making some news, so we'll point it out. The MPAA's point man on SOPA/PIPA, Michael O'Leary, told the press today that they're willing to "tone down" the legislation in response to the "legitimate concerns" raised:
"We will come forward with language that will address some of the legitimate concerns" of technology companies that have opposed the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House, and a similar Protect I.P. Act in the Senate, Mr. O'Leary said.First of all, this is nothing new. Rep. Lamar Smith, the official sponsor of the bill had already been on record using that exact same phrase: "legitimate concerns." The thing is, what they consider to be "legitimate concerns" are basically none of the concerns that many people have raised.
The more telling point in all of this is the outright admission that the MPAA is the one writing the bill. We've seen some reports making the rounds where defenders of the bill keep insisting "this bill isn't being written by Hollywood," but in the quote above, you can see that O'Leary is confirming that the MPAA is providing the language. The NYTimes report makes this point even clearer:
He said those who were pushing the far-reaching antipiracy legislation have been huddling with Congressional staff members from both parties and both the House and Senate in the last few days, in an effort to answer some objections raised by Google, Yahoo and others who say the bills reach too far.Notice who's not included in those discussions? That's right. Everyone who raised objections. How the hell do you address concerns if you don't actually include the people who are concerned? The answer is you don't, and the whole thing is a sham. O'Leary also points out that most of the tech folks still won't be satisfied, which basically is an admission that he doesn't actually care about the concerns. From there he starts making stuff up:
"It's all rhetoric and there are no proposals," he said of the position staked out by the opponents to the bills. "From where I sit, it's hard to see that as anything but a pretext for running out the clock and preserving the status quo."The thing is, O'Leary knows that's untrue. He knows damn well that plenty of folks have presented or are working on alternative proposals. It's just that when they're not allowed in the discussion at all, it's kinda difficult to have those proposals heard. Meanwhile, as we noted earlier, Senator Wyden has already said he's working on an alternative bill. Pretending otherwise is simply false.

In the past, fashion in men's underwear was an afterthought. Typically, fashionable underwear for men meant the waistband was still attached to the garment.
Recently, men, like women, are more conscientious about the wearing experience and its fashion influence. This is noted by Sean R., senior director for men's design at Jockey, "You wear different shirts for different occasions and underwear is no different. Now more than ever, men are opinionated and demanding about what they want. It's our job to facilitate their desires."
Offering 109 styles of men's underwear, you might wonder where we get inspiration for each. No matter the design or color, each pair of Jockey underwear starts with three core components: comfort, fit and quality. Once we have that, we design.
According to Sean, "Our biggest inspiration for men's underwear comes from trend in the fashion market, and of course, identifying the need for a new product he can wear in his wardrobe. Whether it's a streamlined, casual, stylish or compression fit, Jockey offers underwear to support his need for any occasion."
Like the rest of your wardrobe, underwear too is dictated by seasons of the year. Sean points out, "Based on the season, fabrics and colors are the biggest differentiators. With colors, we feature two pallets: spring/summer and fall/winter." The colors are influenced by trends of the season and something topical. For example, Jungle Green (spring/summer) or Dark Crimson (fall/winter). Each name takes on a masculine identity, assuring that you can splash in some color and still be manly. As for the fit, Sean proudly shares, "It's seasonless."
Wondering what the next breakthrough in men's underwear will be? Unfortunately, Sean couldn't spill everything. But, he did say; you'll see more chemical finishes, light quick dry fabrics, diamond white, easy care, moisture-wicking and antimicrobial features.
It's often stated underwear is a reflection of one's personality. Tell us, what type of personality do you think Sean from our men's design team has?

LONDON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- A British court Friday rejected a bid by radical cleric Abu Hamza to stop his extradition from Britain to the United States to stand trial on terrorism charges.
The High Court ruling cleared the way for Hamza and four other terrorism suspects to be extradited immediately, the BBC reported.
"There is a need for finality. There is no appeal from our decision," court said. "There is an overwhelming public interest in the functioning of the extradition system."
In the United States, Hamza is accused of planning to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon and of assisting in taking hostages in Yemen.
Britain's Home Office welcomed the decision, the BBC said.
"We are now working to extradite these men as quickly as possible," a spokesman said.
Hamza, Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Khaled al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary collectively fought against extradition for more than eight years, involving appeals in both British courts and the European Court of Human Rights.
Hamza, 54, held for seven years for soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred, has been fighting extradition since 2004. His lawyers oppose extradition on grounds he suffers from memory loss and depression, and is unfit to plead.
The court said it was unconvinced Hamza was unfit to stand trial.
Ahmad, 37, and Ahsan, 33, are accused of raising funds for terrorism through a website. Fawwaz allegedly was an aide to Osama bin Laden during the 1990s and Bary also reportedly worked closely with the founder of al-Qaida.
In a statement prepared before the verdict, Ahmad thank his family and supporters.
"By exposing the fallacy of [Britain's] extradition arrangements with the U.S., I leave with my head held high having won the moral victory," he said.

There is an inclusion $S_n \to Aut(F_n)$ from the symmetric group into the automorphism group of a free group. After applying the Quillen +-constriction, both $BS_{\infty}$ and $BF_{\infty}$ become infinite loop spaces and the map above can be promoted to an infinite loop space map $BS_{\infty}^+ \to BF_{\infty}^+$.
Are there any other infinite loop space maps into or our of $Aut(F_{\infty})?$
Some notes:
1) Galatius has shown relatively recently that $BAut(F_{\infty})^+$ is homotopic to the sphere spectrum; the latter has been known for about 4 decades to be homotopic to $BS_{\infty}^+$ (Barratt-Priddy-Segal). So loop maps in or out of the symmetric group can all be defined up to homotopy on $Aut(F_{\infty})$ instead. Also, in all of the above, can "Aut" be replaced by "Out"?
2) Answers involving $\Omega^{\infty}S^{\infty}$ that don't relate to spaces of graphs or free groups don't count - I'm trying to get information on this from a geometric group theory point of view.

What's in the name?
41 comments:
Beautiful quilt....beautiful story....thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Oh my...beautifully written! You brought tears to my eyes expressing how I too have felt. What a wonderful picture of you and your mom and a lovely poignant quilt you have created!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
The emotional side of quilt making is something that I always find so inspiring. A lovely quilt.ReplyDelete
Sujata, This is such a beautiful post! And such a beautiful quilt. Your sewing retreat sounds wonderful, I'm so glad you have such special friends.ReplyDelete
Hermoso pensamiento, me alegra saber que encontraste un lugar donde te sientes a gusto y en paz.ReplyDelete
Your quilt and its story are fabulous, Sujata! Everything about it is just beautiful. I am glad it is finished at a time in your life when the waters are calm. :-)ReplyDelete
Sujata, what a wonderful story. I am so glad you had a good time with us girls! We are happy to have gotten to know you better.ReplyDelete
Having seen your quilt up close and personal, I know how beautiful it is!
Oh! what a beautiful post. I loved seeing the photo of you and your mother again, it's a gift.ReplyDelete
Your quilt is lovely. It has such great movement. I of course, love the pink and red in the center :)
I love quilts with deeper meanings, and this one has a great soul.
absolutely beautiful, Sujata. The quilt (love love love love it) and your words. I'm terrible at naming quilts - for some reason it's just not that important to me. It's the image of the quilt and the time making it that stays with me, not the name.ReplyDelete
Sujata, I recognize those feelings. Your quilt is beautiful, as it is its meaning, but that picture with your mother is a jewel.ReplyDelete
I love your quilt! You put your feelings into words so wll with it's story. I'm so glad you feel more settled now.ReplyDelete
That's a wonderful photo of you and your Mom too. :)
Once again, your quilt has motivated me to step away from straight edge ruler and pick up that pearle cotton I keep buying... I'll do it soon. I promise.ReplyDelete
Yes, I name my quilts - for exactly the same reasons that you've written about so beautifully in you Driftwood post. Each of my quilts comes from within me and carries a part of me wherever it goes.ReplyDelete
Lovely ... thoughtful... heartfelt.
That's what it IS all about.
so wonderful. I love the depth of meaning you experience with your art! Thank you for sharing it with us. And I love the quilt- rooted in the traditional, beautifully modern, and deeply personal all at once.ReplyDelete
(I really wish we'd gotten to know each other when you were here!):D
I am so glad you've landed, with good friends on both coasts! Your driftwood analogy is quite fitting for the journey of feeling "in between," and then finally landing, more mature and beautiful in a new way. I remember when you showed this quilt to us in Seattle. It inspired me to make one similar, and I completely enjoyed the process. Thank you for sharing your talent and your story!!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post! The picture of you and your mom is precious and the quilt is amazing.ReplyDelete
The story and the quilt both are very heart warming. I'm so glad you met your new friends and had such a good time at the retreat! The way you interpret your feelings and transform them into breathtaking quilts is quite amazing! And that picture of you and your mom is so sweet!ReplyDelete
Oh Sujata you always share so much of yourself in your posts - and in your quilts. New friends, old friends, they are both beautiful and make us who we are. Love the picture of you and your mom, it says so much - and it will be you and your daughter someday! Peace~ReplyDelete
Your words have a way of connecting...I love this beautiful story and the quilt. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
Beautiful thoughts & words, a stunning quilt, and a lovely photo of your Mum with you. from Jenny McHReplyDelete
what a wonderful story and a beautiful quilt!!! thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Sujata, how poetic - love the story and the quilt! It has a good slow cloth vibe, deep roots, original beauty ... a lot of the qualities in a signature quilt from you.ReplyDelete
; )
I love your quilt and your story. Driftwood is the perfect name. Driftwood is washed up on shore, found, admired and taken home to be treasured. I am glad you have finally found your happy place.ReplyDelete
I love the quilts you are showing , they have such vibrancyReplyDelete
I am so touched and happy to read your words. It is wonderful to see you writing again. Your words reach out and touch so many of us. There are tears of joy in my eyes for you. You are so gifted, oh so talented, thank you for being you.ReplyDelete
Sujata - You have enriched our group in so many ways. It's just amazing how a group of women with such differing quilting styles can come together as friends and at the same time, admire each other's work. BTW, I love the binding.ReplyDelete
I do name my quilts. Sometimes the name comes to me in a flash and sometimes it takes lots of brainstorming and sometimes, not at all.
It's a beautiful quilt, Sujata. And a wonderful story too. I need to get away on a retreat like that someday soon. It is always nice to take a break from reality to get some clarity.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2011 at 9:15 AM
The story of this quilt touched me Sujata and it proves that time to quilt may be, sometimes, emotionally healing. I'm glad that you feel happy again.ReplyDelete
The quilt is perfect , i love it.
You're right, there is always a story...thanks for sharing yours, and your beautiful quilt. I recently bought some thrift shop shirts for a quilt. Two of them were really lovely fabric (why are mens shirts always nicer than that they use for ladies?)so I rolled the sleeves up a little and tried them on...they look great (relaxed summer jacket!) with jeans & tee. Now only the boring ones are left for my quilt!ReplyDelete
I saw your quilt on Flickr and came here to read more about it. I'm so glad I did. What a lovely story and meaning behind your quilt, thanks for sharing it!ReplyDelete
What a story and how beautifully it is reflected in your quilt - those flashes of warmth and a feeling of belonging! thank you!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing. I think you have found the perfect name for this beautiful quilt.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt and beautiful story. I love how the quilting gives texture and makes the quilt even more vibrant.ReplyDelete
I don't know which is more lovely...the quilt, the people, or the story. I guess its kind of like the mind/body/spirit connection. Can't truly have one without the other. Beautiful in all ways, Sujata!ReplyDelete
Sujata, Awe.....Ahhhhh. I sit in reverie after reading this post and thinking what a blessing you are in my life when we CONNECT! Thank you for sharing....definitely some vulnerability in these thoughts! Your quilt is as breathtaking as you! Love, LOVE, L O V E ! EmReplyDelete
Ahhhhh....I have goosebumps reading that! both the writing and the quilt are beautiful. I'm thinking the color is symbolic (possibly) as well. The red/pink as the warmth/love of family and FRIENDS as the center but the cold, grey parts of the world that can beat, bleach, drain us as we go thru storms of life, that can surround us each day. something profound like that, huh?ReplyDelete
I love this quilt! And the photo of you and your mother is so beautiful. Can you tell me what size of perle cotton you used to quilt it?ReplyDelete
Your words are as lovely as your quilt.ReplyDelete
Beautiful, Sujata, simply beautiful.
I often wonder about the names people give their quilts. I love hearing the story behind them. Driftwood is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Mmmm ... well-crafted prose to match the quilt.ReplyDelete
It seems that thereʻs a curious meandering on how a quilt gives birth to its name. For me, once the top is done, and Iʻm hand-quilting -- itʻs a very intimate time, whereby an assortment of connections arise for consideration. The activity is very contemplative, therefore the result, e.g. itʻs name, is also more contemplative than contrived.
Itʻs a privilege to wander into your blogsite.
I love the story that is behind your quilt as much as I love the quilt itself. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.ReplyDelete

SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD (Model A011) awarded "Best Expert DSLR Lens"
Even without a macro lens, it is entirely possible to take great pictures of flowers. We realised this one day when we discovered several wood anemones by the golden light of the afternoon sun. The Anemone nemorosa doesn't normally bloom until April, but the mild winter has given us an early floral start this year.
Nature- and architecture photographers know how important light is for magnificent shots. If the sun is high in the sky, the contrasts are too hard and the light is too flat. Ideal times however are dusk and dawn. Depending on the point of time, the light then is soft or warm, emphasizing the structures and shaping the motive details.
Tamron lanserar två nya objektiv, båda vädertätade och med bildstabilisering samt PZD AF-motor. Båda är megazoomar, 16-300mm och 28-300mm, varav den förstnämnda är designad exklusivt för APS-C formatet, medan 28-300mm objektivet passar både fullformat och APS-C.
Photographer Mike Fuchs has a foible for snow and ice. On April the man from Berlin started his next polar expedition. He carries the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2,8, with him, which has proven itself as a reliable partner in extreme conditions.

About New Athena Unicode Font
November 11, 2015: sales of GreekKeys 2008 ceased on October 28. The updated product GreekKeys 2015 is now available at the web site of the Society for Classical Studies (free to SCS members, $20 for non-members, free or discounted for those who purchased GreekKeys 2008 on or after August 1, 2014). Click here for the new sales and support site.
New Athena Unicode is a freeware multilingual font distributed by the American Philological Association. It follows the Unicode standard (version 6/7) and includes characters for English and Western European languages, polytonic Greek, Coptic, Old Italic, and Demotic Egyptian transliteration (and Arabic transliteration), as well as metrical symbols and other characters used by classical scholars and some required by medievalists and Byzantinists. New Athena Unicode is a "smart font" that includes OpenType ligatures allowing the display of precomposed combined characters not recognized by Unicode but needed by scholars (for more information see the page on technical details).
LICENSE: The TrueType version of Athenian font and the TrueType version of New Athena Unicode font have long been made available to all as freeware to facilitate communication on the internet. They may be used in digital or print publication without further permission from the Society for Classical Studies (formerly the American Philological Association). The font is now offered under an Open Font License, applying both to its .ttf format and to the .woff format provided for web developers. The current license may be read in a PDF in the download package, or by clicking here. For more details about the Open Font License see http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL. The name "New Athena Unicode" is reserved, and any modified version of the font produced in accordance with the Open Font License must use a different name.
PLEASE NOTE: downloading and installing this font is NOT the only thing you need to do to type Unicode Greek. In addition to a font including polytonic Greek characters (and you already have at least a few system fonts on your PC or Mac that include them, although they may lack some of the specialized characters that scholars need), you need to activate a keyboard that inputs polytonic Greek. For keyboards, the GreekKeys 2008 package is one possibility (and contains features needed by some scholars), but for basic usage you may be able to do what you need to do simply by using what is already included in your OS (Windows XP and later, Mac OS X). For Mac Greek Polytonic input, see the related FAQ. For Windows, see the related FAQ. If you are a classicist making the transition from an old custom encoding of polytonic Greek to Unicode, you may find it useful to read the paper "Before and After Unicode: Working with Polytonic Greek".
Latest Version
June 7, 2018: Version 5.005 of New Athena Unicode font has been released. This fixes an error in line spacing of the Regular version that started to be visible in MS Word in 2018. This error was not present in versions 5.002 or earlier and affects only those who downloaded 5.004 from this site within the past 18 months. If you have 5.004 installed, please download this version to replace it. The version installed from the GreekKeys 2015 package from the SCS does not suffer from this error. For a description of the changes see the Revision History in the download, in AboutNAUfont_v5_005.rtf.
DOWNLOAD New Athena Unicode version 5.005 in ttf format (for Windows or MacOS or Linux). The download contains four font files for the four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic. For maximum compatibility with modern programs, it is recommended that you install all four, but for some simple applications installing just the Regular style may suffice.
FOR WEB DEVELOPERS: DOWNLOAD New Athena Unicode version 5.005 in woff format (generated from FontLab v. 6).
Previous Version
December 1, 2016: Version 5.004 of New Athena Unicode font has been released. The changes (and a few additions in PUA) involved are very minor and concern a few special characters for palaeographic descriptions in a manuscript catalogue, and thus those who have version 5.002 installed from the GreekKeys 2015 package from the SCS do not really need to upgrade to this version. For a description of the changes see the Revision History in the download, in AboutNAUfont_v5_004.rtf.
July 12, 2015: Version 5.002 of New Athena Unicode font has been released. All four styles have been revised with corrected forms of the two glyphs U+03da (capital stigma) and U+03de (capital modern koppa).
June 11, 2015: Version 5.0a of New Athena Unicode font has been released. This differs from the May 1 version in one detail of the regular font only, which now has version number 5.001 and date June 11, 2015, while the styled fonts are unchanged from the May 1 version. The one detail changed is the height of capital beta (now matching that of other capital Greek letters): this had been adjusted in FontLab Studio some time ago, but because of a bug FLS continued to generate the old height until by a workaround it was persuaded that the glyph has new data.
May 1, 2015: Version 5.00 of New Athena Unicode font (dated Feb. 22, 2015) has been released. The major change in version 5 is that the instructions for composed characters (those that have to be entered as more than one Unicode code point, like beta with dot below or epsilon with macron above) have been moved from a liga table to a ccmp table, which makes the effect of these instructions automatic, rather than subject to the user's switching on advanced typographic features. Precomposed glyphs for lowercase Greek letters with overstroke (U+0305) have been added. Various other revisions and additions are listed in the About file that is contained in the download package.
DOWNLOAD New Athena Unicode version 5.002 in ttf format (for Windows or Mac OS X or Linux). The download contains four font files for the four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic. For maximum compatibility with modern programs, it is recommended that you install all four, but for some simple applications installing just the Regular style may suffice.

How to locate the characters in New Athena Unicode v. 5
Two files are offered here for download. One is a PDf giving some general advice and listing the glyphs that are special precomposed combinations (such as dotted Greek letters) and do not have code points, and so do not appear in the cmap listing. The other is a text file for the cmap of the font, which lists in sequence all the glyphs that have a Unicode code point.

Previous Versions: correction and revision history
July 12, 2012: Version 4.05 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu405.ttf, dated July 12, 2012) has been released. This is identical to version 4.03 except for version information and the removal of a corruption in the ligature tables that affected some OS X applications (TextEdit, Word).
New Athena Unicode version 4.05 in ttf format (for Windows or Mac OS X or Linux).
Experimental Styled Versions (Italic, Bold, Bold Italic)
Styled versions of New Athena Unicode now available for experimentation and comment. Separate italic, bold, and bold italic versions of New Athena Unicode 4.05 are now available for download here. Some programs (such as MS Word) automatically apply styles to a regular font, but other programs (such as Mellel and TextEdit) will display bold, for instance, only if a separate bold version of the font is present. Version 4.05 fixes a problem with failures of OpenType ligatures in some OS X applications, but is otherwise the same as 4.03. Version 4.03 made no changes over 4.02 in the Regular and Italic styles (except for change of font version number), but extensive corrections were made to fix errors and overlapping of glyph elements in the Bold and Bold Italic versions. WARNING: using these fonts will change the character spacing of styled elements of existing documents, which may also lead to repagination. Do not use these styled versions unless you understand what this warning means. If you do use these fonts, please send feedback to Donald Mastronarde.
woff Format for Web Developers
(Jan. 17, 2014) To assist web developers who want to embed a compressed version in a site, New Athena Unicode version 4.05 is now also available in woff format. The Open Font License has been revised to indicate that it applies equally to the TrueType and the woff versions.
February 4, 2012: Version 4.03 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu403.ttf, dated Feb. 4, 2012) has been released. This is identical to version 4.02 except for version information (4.03 has been generated to go with updates in the styled versions.
July 9, 2011: Version 4.02 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated July 9, 2011) has been released. This is identical to version 4.01 except for the removal of a typographical error in the OpenType tables.
March 28, 2011: Version 4.01 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated March 28, 2011) has been released, containing only one additional character (U+2212, minus), but otherwise the same as Version 4.00 of New Athena Unicode font (dated Feb. 13, 2011). This version contains revisions in the Supplemental Punctuation block starting at U+2E00, both additions and corrections (some characters that had been added at the proposed code points prior to final approval have had to have their code points fixed to conform to what was finally approved). In addition, with Version 4 styled fonts (italic, bold, and bold italic) have been created for testing.
May 2, 2010: Version 3.71 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated May 2, 2010) has been released. This version contains a number of additional roman characters with diacritics to serve the needs of some forms of transliteration of Hebrew and Greek. Also, glyphs for epsilon and omicron with breve and diacritics (except circumflex and circumflex with breathings) have been added in PUA (U+EC73 through U+EC82). Within a few days, these new items will be reflected in the listing on this GreekKeys website (Technical Details). For a text-document showing the list of the codepoints and glyph names in this version of the font, excluding the precomposed glyphs for dotted letters (this is an edited extract of a Unicode cmap table in the font), click here. It can be opened with your browser and searched, or downloaded and searched with a word processor or text editor.
February 22, 2010: Version 3.70 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated February 22, 2010) has been released. This version was produced in response to a request for various glyphs needed in formal descriptions of medieval manuscripts and with the contribution of glyphs from the font Codicology by Robert Allison. At the same time, design adjustments have been made to a few glyphs: the shapes of left and right single and double quotes have been made uniform (most noticeable in the improvement of U+2019, which serves as apostrophe in Greek); the dotted crosses U+203B and U+205C have been made similar in size and the dots made uniform with the dots in the nearby punctuation code points; U+10176 has been somewhat enlarged for better conformity to its new alternative form U+EC65; numerical lowercase koppa, U+03DF, has been lowered so that the open loop sits on the baseline and there is a descender; the double vertical bar, U+205B, and the double square brackets, U+301A, U+301B, have been given heavier verticals so that they appear more legible and uniform at small sizes. Also, a large number of unusual precomposed combinations (and corresponding OpenType ligature instructions) and a few PUA glyphs (U+EC55 through U+EC71) have been added. A table of these new items has been added to the listing on this GreekKeys website (Technical Details).
December 10, 2009: Version 3.61 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated November 11, 2009) has been released. This version was produced in response to a request for glyph variants for some papyrological symbols. The additions are: U+EC51 (4 chalkoi = half obolos), U+EC52 (drachme), U+EC53 and U+ED54 (two variants of etos). The font is otherwise unchanged. For a text-document showing the list of the codepoints and glyph names in this version of the font, excluding the precomposed glyphs for dotted letters (this is an edited extract of a Unicode cmap table in the font), click here. It can be opened with your browser and searched, or downloaded and searched with a word processor or text editor.
October 24, 2009: Version 3.60 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated October 24, 2009) has been released. The only change is in the Cyrillic characters (U+0401 through U+045F), which have been made uniform in height for proper appearance in printing.
September 23, 2009: Version 3.502 (superseding September 6, 2009: Version 3.50) of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated Sept. 23, 2009) has been released. 3.502 contains very minor additions for a special papyrological need: four glyphs have been added for eta with breve, eta with macron, omega with breve, omega with macron, and OpenType ligature definitions added. These can be displayed only when ligatures are turned on (MS Word 2008); to enter them, you must type the vowel normally and then input U+0304 (combining macron) or U+0306 (combining breve) immediately after the vowel (you can do this in Mac OS X by switching to Unicode Hex input and typing 0304 or 0306 while continuously holding down the option key; there is no direct method for this with Mac GreekKeys Unicode input). In 3.5 several glyphs have been added to the set of Roman characters in the font to complete the set of what is needed for the transliteration of Arabic in papyrological studies. In addition, some major and minor revisions have been made in certain sets of characters: the numbers 0-9 have been redesigned as modern in form, replacing the old-form numbers that had been in the font; certain lowercase Roman characters that had been noticeably shorter than others have been revised to match the others; irregularities in the heights of uppercase Greek characters have been greatly reduced. Some of these changes bring with them slight differences in the widths of characters, so some changes in line breaks and pagination may occur in older documents once they are displayed with this version of the font.
August 29, 2009: Version 3.45 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated August 21, 2009) has been released. The only difference in this version is that there are three additional symbols added to support New Testament textual studies: U+1D459 (italic l), U+1D513 (Fraktur P), U+1D516 (Fraktur S).
January 24, 2009: Version 3.4 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated January 24, 2009) has been released. Version 3.4 is identical to Version 3.3 except for the embedded copyright and license information, which has been updated to reflect use of the Open Font License referred to above. For a text-document showing the list of the codepoints and glyph names in the font, excluding the precomposed glyphs for dotted letters (this is an edited extract of a Unicode cmap table in the font), click here (same file as provided for 3.2). It can be opened with your browser and searched, or downloaded and searched with a word processor or text editor.
May 10, 2008: Version 3.3 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated April 20, 2008) has been released. Version 3.3 contains a few corrected glyphs, but the most important change is the addition of precomposed glyphs for dotted letters for Greek and Coptic papyrology, with the corresponding OpenType ligature definitions.
February 9, 2008: Version 3.2 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated January 12, 2008) is being released simultaneously with the release of GreekKeys 2008. Version 3.2 contains only one corrected glyph (for a mistake in consistency of size), but the most important change is the the omission of the AAT ligature definitions, so that now the ligatures work only in applications that can read OpenType ligature definitions. The OpenType definitions work, whereas there are bugs in the implementation of the AAT definitions.
December 27, 2007: Version 3.1 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated December 27, 2007) incorporates a few additional characters. In addition, the OpenType ligature tables have been revised slightly in preparation for the release of GreekKeys 2008 in a few months. For details, see the Revision History in the About document included in the download.
June 26, 2007: Version 3 of New Athena Unicode font (newathu.ttf, dated June 3, 2007) incorporates a few additional characters and the Old Italic block (Etruscan), and some characters have been redrawn for greater consistency. In addition, the OpenType ligature tables have been duplicated and revised to provide compatibility with applications that expect slightly different settings. For details, see the Revision History in the About document included in the download.
August 20/August 7, 2006: Version 2.86 of New Athena Unicode, dated August 20, 2006, replaces version 2.8 (July 24, 2006) or 2.85 (August 10, 2006), with a few additional glyphs added to reflect Unicode 5.0 and six epigraphic characters recently approved for a future version. Version 2.86 adds two Private Use Areas for Coptic papyrology, precomposed coptic iota and upsilon with diaeresis at U+EC4F and U+EC50. Otherwise, versions 2.8 and 2.85 contain a few corrections over 2.7 and for the first time OpenType ligature features that allow the inputting of decomposed Unicode Greek in OpenType-savvy applications (like Mellel and InDesign CS2). The font will work the same as before with GreekKeys Unicode input (which inputs precomposed codepoints and PUA codepoints). With this version, the separate provision of a dfont format font is discontinued, since the ttf format works exactly the same. If you install this version, please be sure you first uninstall New Athena Unicode.dfont, if that is the version you have been using. Anyone who wishes to experiment with decomposed Unicode input may contact me to obtain the testing version of GKUdecomposed input (for US keyboards only).
March 24, 2006: Version 2.7 of New Athena Unicode, dated March 22 (or 24 for dfont format), 2006, contains additional combining diacritics and one new PUA character for a precomposed glyph used rarely in Coptic texts. Other minor corrections have been made in processing the font for the first time with FontLab Studio 5. A Coptic Unicode input for Mac OS X will be made available shortly. The download includes a document with the correction history of the font.
October 1, 2005: Version 2.6 of New Athena Unicode, dated September 30, 2005, contains the addition of a few characters to complete the sets needed for Coptic and for Demotic Egyptian transliteration. The glyphs for the endash and emdash have also been modified (made thicker). This version coincides with a slight revision of the OS X input for Demotic Egyptian.
July 19, 2005: Version 2.5 of New Athena Unicode, dated July 19, 2005, contains a few corrections and the addition of a few new characters, principally to meet the needs of Roman transliteration of Demotic Egyptian in a Unicode-based font (more information and an input for Demotic Egyptian are available). Some of the corrections include resizing of Greek lowercase characters that had somehow become out of proportion to the rest of the set during the repeated process of regenerating the font over the past few years. Therefore, this download is recommended for all users. The download includes a document with further information.
June 7, 2005: Version 2.4 of New Athena Unicode, dated June 6, 2005, contains a few corrections and the addition of many new characters: (1) the new Coptic block of Unicode 4.1 has been added, and the Coptic characters in the old Greek and Coptic block are also present; (2) the inventory of the font's characters has been compared to the May 27, 2005, version of the TLG's quickbeta.pdf and almost all official codepoints that have TLG betacode equivalents are now included in the the font (the exception is astrological symbols).
April 17, 2005: Version 2.3 of New Athena Unicode, dated April 17, 2005, corrects the vertical placement of the upper half brackets (U+2308, U+2309) and provides a wider overscore character (U+0305) for papyrological use (adjacent letters sharing an overstroke should usually now appear with the overstrokes joined into one line). This upgrade is recommended for those with papyrological interests.
March 1, 2005: Version 2.2 of the font New Athena Unicode, dated March 1, 2005, (for the dfont format) or February 27, 2005 (for the ttf format) corrects (it is hoped) a problem with character spacing in Windows applications. Refinements have also been made to character spacing, and all Greek vowels of the same class should now be of the same vertical size and (unless diacritics prevent it) of the same width. The g with cedilla character (U+0123) has been corrected. This download is optional for Macintosh users, but recommended for Windows users.
Jan. 16, 2005: Version 2.1 of the font New Athena Unicode dated Jan. 15, 2005, is now available for download. The sole change from v. 2.0 is the correction of the four dot punctuation U+2058 (formerly a square of four dots, now a diamond pattern; the documentation available earlier did not yet reveal this detail.).
Sept. 27, 2004: Version 2 of the font New Athena Unicode, dated September 26, 2004, was released. This version features various minor improvements and has hundreds of additional characters: all the symbols previously available in the non-standard-encoded SymbolAthenian font are now present with Unicode codepoints, as are many other symbols recently accepted into the Unicode standard (based largely on proposals made by TLG). Further documentation of the font is available in the GreekKeys 2005 release.

The Beijing Diaries, Day 11: Farewell
December 4, 2012 in China, Travel by pacejmiller
November 16
Can't believe it. My 11-day visit to Beijing has come to an end.
My final day in the Chinese capital was a short one. I didn't even bother grabbing some crap buffet breakfast in the basement of the hotel before checking out and hopping into a car headed for the airport. Out of fear of missing my flight, I gave myself an-hour-and-a-half from my hotel to the airport, but smooth traffic got me there in barely over 30 minutes.
My driver (from the same car company that took me to the Great Wall a couple of days earlier) wasn't much of a talker, but he continually expressed shock over the fact that China allowed Japanese reporters to enter the country to cover the 18th National Congress.
"How dare they?!" he would say over and over, reminding me that every piece of land in the world claimed by China is, in fact, owned by China. "China's just too big. We don't have time to look after everything so people steal our land."
Gotta love the locals.
I checked in at Terminal 3, which, I mentioned before, is supposed to be the largest airport terminal in the world. Again, I didn't get that feeling at all, but I was impressed with the security. Not only did they get me to take out my laptop, they also asked me to take out my iPad, keys and coins from my bag and patted me down for good measure. My bag went through the machines three times and I twice. It can be annoying but at least you know you're safe.
I started reflecting on my rare trip to China while seated at a Costa Coffee, sipping on an awesome lemonade (but passed on the exorbitantly priced Evian mineral waters which cost something ridiculous like 19 yuan (AU$2.92) – not crazy compared to the $5 mineral waters in Sydney but a lot considering local mineral water bottles cost around 1-4 yuan, as water should).
It has been a rare experience indeed the last week and a half. It's rare to have the opportunity to see China's leaders all together in a room and up close (once every five years, in fact) and even rarer to witness a Chinese leadership transition in person (once every 10 years).
It was challenging to work long, unusual hours and travelling on the crowded metro, and even more challenging being away from my young family, but I also got to meet a lot of interesting reporters from all over the world, sampled some delicious Peking duck, stayed in possibly the cheapest hotel I have ever stayed in and visited a couple of iconic tourist sites. And not even a single bout of food poisoning.
At that moment, all I wanted to do was to go home, kiss my wife and son and rest, but I'm sure in a few weeks, months or years from now I'll look back and realize what a once-in-a-lifetime privilege this was.

Some original iPad and fourth-gen iPod touch users have reportedly been met with immediate crashing issues after launching Infinity Blade 2, which launched to wide success yesterday.
For some users Infinity Blade II seems to be running out of memory on their heavily laden iPad1 and iPod Touch devices.
The problem stems from how iOS handles icon caching on your iPhone home screen, where older iOS devices with a large number of apps installed create memory constraints resulting in a force-quit upon launching. The Epic team has let everyone know they're working hard on a fix and will push an update to the App Store as soon as they can, and in the meantime they've updated the App Store description to let users know the problem exists.
Any readers using older iOS hardware running into this?

Turkey Stock
Although many holiday recipes call for chicken stock, the best turkey recipes call for authentic turkey stock. It's easily made from the turkey neck and that little pouch of giblets that you'll find inside the turkey. Just simmer them in water along with aromatic vegetables and herbs. You'll have plenty of homemade stock in about an hour.
Add carrot, onion and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add bay leaves, thyme and peppercorns; cook 5 minutes more.
Increase heat to high; add water, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes. (Note: Continuously skim the foam (scum) that rises to the top of the pan as the stock simmers.)
Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer. When cool enough to handle, remove gristle from the gizzard, and pull the meat off the neck; chop the neck meat and giblets, and set aside until needed. If not using right away, refrigerate the giblets and stock.
Makes about 5 cups

text: The English Civil Wars (1642-1651) stemmed from conflict between Charles I and Parliament over an Irish insurrection. The first war was settled with Oliver Cromwell's victory for Parliamentary forces at the 1645 Battle of Naseby. The second phase ended with Charles' defeat at the Battle of Preston and his subsequent execution in 1649. Charles' son, Charles, then formed an army of English and Scottish Royalists, which prompted Cromwell to invade Scotland in 1650. The following year, Cromwell shattered the remaining Royalist forces and ended the "wars of the three kingdoms," though Charles II eventually ascended to the throne in 1660.

"Courage is being scared to death ... but saddling up anyway." -John Wayne.
You can hear the tires scream as we corner around the orange cones at a shade over 35 mph. Looking in the rear view mirrors perched on the cab's nose, I can see the tanker we're pulling keel over sharply. The only reason it doesn't kiss pavement - taking myself and the driver of our tractor with it - are a long pair of outriggers that keep us upright. The G-forces push me out of my seat nonetheless, my stomach giving a sickening lurch, my heart rate hits the stratosphere, and my body tightens involuntarily - expecting the worst to come.
"Whoa, pretty aggressive on that one," the driver said. (Talk about understatements.)
Yet the next time we take the corner, it's a whole different story. This time, the truck's engine de-throttles in a hurry, the air brakes pulsing in rapid succession, keeping us level with all 18 tires on the rough asphalt beneath us - showcasing the wonders of electronics stability control (ESC). My body still stiffens, again instinctively readying itself for trouble ... but the moment passes much easier this time, the violence of our turn removed by active safety systems.
"That's better," the driver noted, almost to himself. (Oh, you can say that again.)
It was all part of a comprehensive safety technology demonstration put on by ArvinMeritor here on a wide patch of sandpaper-like blacktop scant feet from the runways of Orlando, Florida's Executive Airport. Test drivers demonstrated the capabilities of trucks equipped with roll stability control (RSC), the aforementioned ESC, and the company's newest safety product, called OnGuard: a forward-looking, radar-based adaptive cruise control system with active braking, which improves vehicle safety by automatically using the vehicle foundation brakes to alert the driver and decelerate the vehicle when a pre-set vehicle following distance is compromised.
Pursuing a pair of chase vehicles - a bobtailing tractor and a Chrysler minivan - drivers demonstrated how OnGuard would automatically cut engine power and activate the brakes to prevent a rear-end collision. And this isn't prototype technology either: OnGuard is currently installed on nearly 200 vehicles and is targeted to become a factory-installed option on several truck brands by the third quarter this year.
(That's Jon Morrison on the left, talking with Jean-Christophe Figueroa, VP-vehicle dynamics and controls for Meritor WABCO, on the right.)
"It's designed to equip drivers with automated features that help ensure safe following distances and provide active braking as needed," said Jon Morrison, president and general manager, Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems. "The driver is still the most important element in maintaining vehicle safety; however, the system can provide the additional split-second deceleration needed to maintain control of the vehicle in an emergency situation."
Meritor Wabco GM on collision mitigation
Description: Jon Morrison, president and general manager of Meritor Wabco, talks about how the company's new collision mitigation system is built off proven technology.Listen here!
What a safety net for the commercial driver. You get distracted so much in heavy traffic - watching cars merging from the right, coming up on the left - that you can get caught by surprise by a sudden stoppage in front of you. Now here's a technology that can cover you: providing 500-feet worth of constant forward vision, able to literally "see" around corners due to a gyroscope incorporated into the radar device itself. However, OnGuard's algorithms are most effective at "locking in" on relevant objects at distances of 275 to 325 feet--a three-second following distance at highway speed. Not only does it warn you of an impending collision; it can actually step into the breech and start stopping the truck for you. (Can I please get this installed on my minivan?)

Description: Alan Korn, chief engineer-vehicle dynamics and control for Meritor Wabco, explains how the OnGuard collision mitigation system is built off existing technology, making it easier to incorporate onto today's heavy-duty trucks.Listen here!
This is a big deal for the trucking industry. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), such rear-end collisions account for over 20% of all heavy-truck crashes, with the truck the striking vehicle in 60% of those accidents. Inattention or poor decisions (e.g. driving too fast for the conditions or following too closely) are the primary factor in 66% of the collisions where fault is assigned to the truck driver, NHTSA noted.

Yet ... will fleets buy it? It's not cheap, for starters (list price is $4,500). Second, insurance companies still don't seem willing to give any discounts to fleets that step up and buy such technology, nor for RSC (list price $700) or ESC (list price $1,700). "We're trying to work all the angles, especially when it comes to insurance discounts," Morrison told me. "We're all trying to show them where the benefits are versus the costs."
Melletat explains safety benefits
Description: Mark Melletat, senior manager-marketing and communications, explains why driver acceptance of collision mitigation technology is a critical step for fleets, so carriers can gain the safety benefits this technology offers.Listen here!
One fleet even brought its insurance agent to the demonstration, to show them just how revolutionary this technology can be in terms of improving highway safety.
Yet, as Joe Plomin, vice president for ArvinMeritor's truck components group, told me at some point it's got to be about more than just the cost of this technology. "It can't just be all about cost savings, though that's important," he explained. "At some point, it has to be about doing the right thing, about improving safety for the fleet, the driver, and the public. The focus has to be on what we can do to make trucking safety."
Sure, making active safety systems more affordable is critical - trucking is a business after all - but with all the new safety systems now readily available from ArvinMeritor, Bendix, Eaton, and other suppliers, it's foolish to relegate them to a dusty shelf entirely based on a dollars and cents equation. This technology can save lives - a lot of them. It's time we find a way to get it to take a more active role in this industry.
