A species of nightshade thought to be restricted to one area of Peru has been found in 17 other locations with the aid of habitat modelling.
Museum botanists Dr Tiina Särkinen (now at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) and Dr Sandra Knapp discovered the new species of nightshade, named this week as Solanum pseudoamericanum, in 2012 in the Andes. When they first found it, they thought this species only occurred in two river valleys in southern Peru. By using a method known as species distribution modelling, they predicted other regions of Peru where the plant might also be found, based on the environmental conditions at the original collection sites.
An example of the newly discovered Solanum pseudoamericanum, collected on 7 March 2012.
The flowers are on the left and the berries on the right.
A collecting field trip to northern Peru the following year uncovered the nightshade in 17 new locations predicted by the model. The success of the project proves the method of species distribution modelling can work in complex climatic regions such as the Andes, where there is an abundance of undiscovered species and data coverage is generally poor.
Mapping species
Species distribution modelling uses climatic data to help map the range of a new species, speeding up the process of cataloguing it worldwide and providing a way to accurately predict where that species might be found again.
The approach may be particularly useful when dealing with critically endangered species, where there is an urgent need to find and conserve remaining populations.
The work is part of a larger project to map the distribution patterns of all the endemic Solanaceae species in Peru, and to look for components of rarity; what sorts of things make plant species rare. With this information, researchers hope to be able to better describe, and then conserve, plant diversity in Peru.
Hidden diversity
Species distribution modelling has been used successfully for vertebrates before, but has not been widely tested in plants. Dr Knapp belives this may be because collecting plants is seen as reasonably straightforward, but this case study suggests that it is not always true.
Solanum pseudoamericanum was not originally collected because it looks a lot like a common weed. 'Collecting is extremely biased, and this raises the question of how we deal with absences,' Knapp said. The new species represents a category of 'hidden diversity', where new discoveries can be obscured by their physical similarity to known, common species.
Open data
The research, and all its associated geographical and specimen data, is published this week in the open-access journal PhytoKeys. By publishing the results and original specimens as open data, said Knapp, large specimen datasets can be combined by other researchers globally to produce more general analyses of diversity.

Open Source in GSM Could Breed Mobile Mayhem
Jan 18, 2011 5:00 AM PT
Mobile malware may grow as a security threat this year, but security researcher Ralf-Philipp Weinmann says there's a worse threat lurking around -- the GSM baseband system.
The threat from hacking GSM baseband systems has been largely ignored, Weinmann reportedly told the audience at a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Washington, D.C., Monday.
The advent of open source code for base station programming now lets hackers create their own base stations that will let them take over all smartphones within range in a scenario Weinmann calls the "baseband apocalypse."
What's With this Baseband Stuff?
In a cellphone network, the base station system handles traffic and signals between a mobile phone and the network subsystem. Base transceiver stations are found at cell antenna sites.
By creating a rogue base transceiver station using easily available open source baseband code, Weinmann has previously demonstrated that hackers can easily take over smartphones within the range of the rogue station.
Weinmann's found that Layer 3 of the GSM Um interface, which manages connectivity, mobility and radio resources, has many vulnerabilities that can be easily exploited. At Black Hat, he demonstrated what he claimed are the first over-the-air exploitations of memory corruption in GSM/3GPP stacks that allow malicious code to be executed on baseband processors.
Weinmann has made several presentations on the danger from GSM base station systems over the past year. He says neither the GSM Association nor the European Telecommunications Standards Institute have considered the possibility of hackers setting up or using malicious base stations to compromise mobile phones.
The GSM Association and AT&T, which uses GSM technology, did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
What Clear and Present Danger?
With the advent of inexpensive new hardware such as femtocells, the threat of someone setting up a rogue base transceiver station is increasing, Weinmann contended.
Wireless carriers in the United States are making femtocells readily available to consumers in hopes of broadening their coverage areas. AT&T, for example, offers the 3G MicroCell, which acts as a mini-cellular tower, to subscribers.
Weinmann's scenario has hackers setting up cheap rogue transceivers at busy sites such as airports or in the financial districts of cities, or near embassies.
Other security researchers, however, have questioned whether this constitutes a serious threat.
"GSM isn't being used for transmitting mission-critical data," Godfrey Chua, director of mobility at ACG Research, told LinuxInsider.
"Perhaps that's why it hasn't been a priority to be addresses," Chua added. "GSM systems are basically designed for voice."
Further, specifications for the GSM standard were published in 1990, well before wireless data transmission was envisioned, Chua said.
Weinmann did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

- Sugar-2 large tbsp
- Double cream-1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract-1/2 tsp
- Cooking chocolate-30 gms
- Icing sugar-1/2 tsp
- Sift flour and baking powder.Stir in dates.
- Preheat oven to 180 C.Grease and line cake tin.
- Mix the melted butter, sugar, dates and milk and stir into dry ingredients.
- Spoon into prepared tin and bake till golden brown and firm approx 45 minutes.
- for filling and icing-
- Take a heavy bottom pan and add sugar along with 4 tbsp of water to it, put on flame and let caramelize, stirring frequently.
- When sugar is golden take off heat and add a splash of water to cool down, next tip in the cream reserving 1 tbsp for the decorative piping, add vanilla and put back on heat, stirring well till thick.
- Let the cake cool, then split into half with a sharp knife, spread out half of the caramel filling and sandwich cake.
- Put the rest of caramel filling back on low heat and add the chopped chocolate, stir well till chocolate melts, let cool till warm and then pour on top of cooled cake.
- Let the cake chill in the fridge, then combine the reserved cream with 1/2 tsp icing sugar and whip, pipe a trellis pattern on the cake with a plain small nozzle.Let the icing set

Oz news team pays homage to Carry On
'Long stabby thing' – ooooh, matron
An Oz morning TV team has out-innuendoed itself with an exchange worthy of the best (or worst) of Carry On.
With a couple of minutes to fill before the 6.30am news bulletin on Channel Nine's Today show, hosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson got the ball rolling with a bit of banter about how best to defend yourself and your family from intruders.
Newsreader Georgie Gardner then chipped in her contribution, before reporter Ben Fordham concluded with advice on how to beat off unwanted visitors with a golf club:
Stefanovic is a bit of a local hero in the Lucky Country, and his performance following an apparently heavy night at the Australian TV industry's Logie Awards back in 2009 prompted much glee from a rival channel:
Stefanovic subsequently apologised for not being at his best.
On the other hand, Adelaide's Ten News at 5 newsreader, Belinda Heggen, was certainly at her best last Monday when she fired this barbed remark at sports chap Mark Aiston:
Ouch. ®
Thanks to Liam Teeboon for the tip-off.

Macedonia: A New Sun of Linux Freedom Rises
In Macedonia, Edubuntu Machines For Every Student
The Republic of Macedonia is one of the poorer nations in southeastern Europe to come from the break-up of the former Yugoslav republic. But thanks to Linux, they do have the wherewithal to get a computer to every student in the country, thanks to a program launched in 2005 known as the "Computer for Every Child" (CEC) project.
According to the Macedonia Ministry of Education and Science, more than 180,000 workstations running Edubuntu 7.04 have already begun to be deployed to Macedonian students. The students will share time on the computers, half in the morning and half in the afternoon.
Getting computers into classrooms is a high priority for many nations, and there are several opportunities to do so--the One Laptop Per Child and the Mandriva/Classmate PC projects being two of the more well-known efforts. The Macedonian program can take its place in this group, given the scope of the project.
The CEC project is one of the largest known thin-client and desktop Linux deployments ever undertaken, according to the Canonical, the commercial company behind the Edubuntu distribution. The Edubuntu distribution (based on Feisty Fawn) will run on 160,000 virtual PC terminals and 20,000 PCs (which each also support a student on the attached monitor) supplied by NComputing. The systems were procured and will be installed by Chinese PC maker The Haier Company.
The first 7,000 computers pre-installed with Ubuntu were shipped on September 4, a press statement from Canonical confirmed.
Not only is this one of the largest known Linux desktop deployments, but according to Canonical's marketing manager Gerry Carr, this is the largest "pure" Edubuntu deployment to date. There have been larger Ubuntu deployments, he added, notably in Spain school districts.
Carr explained that this news was a long time in coming. Back in 2005, a pilot version of the program was launched that put 5,000 Ubuntu machines in 468 schools and 182 computer labs. That two-year pilot was very successful, Carr said, which led to the implementation of the full deployment this year.
This is not simply a victory for Linux on the desktop, but a direct loss for Microsoft as well. In 2003, Macedonia entered into an agreement with Microsoft to legalize copies of Windows that were at that time unlicensed by the Macedonian government. Microsoft was also to devote resources for translating more of Windows into the Macedonian language. Details of the arrangement were never fully disclosed, though presumably the translation did take place, because Carr confirmed that, like Edubuntu, Windows XP was available in Macedonian.
Despite XP's native-language capabilities, Carr did not seem the slightest bit concerned about a possible operating system switchover along the lines of what occured recently in Nigeria, when a planned deployment of 17,000 Mandriva-loaded Classmate PC was almost derailed by an unplanned switch to Windows XP on the Classmate machines.
In Macedonia, it's extremely unlikely that such an event would occur, Carr said, because the Macedonian government had put so much time and effort into researching the Edubuntu-based solution.
"This program is also unique," Carr said, "because the PCs were purchased from scratch." Essentially, he explained, they were off-the-shelf systems for which Edubuntu was then certified. That certification process was made all the more easier by the fact that all of the systems were Intel-based, and Intel has done a lot of work with Canonical to get the *buntu distributions pre-certified.
Now that the systems are starting to arrive, Carr expects that the bulk of the deployment will be finished sometime around the end of the calendar year.
This article was updated to correct erroneous information about the state of education in Macedonia. The author apologizes for the error and thanks readers for pointing out the incorrect information.

Sunday we drove out east of Los Angeles to the Cal Poly campus in the Pomona Valley. Along the university's central drive horses graze in paddocks, their chestnut coats gleaming in the inland sun. Sheep gather in woolly clusters, enjoying the breeze down by the road. Trellises heavy with vines, break over the crest of a hill. And up near the dormitories, roses bloom and wither in an ornamental garden. You may know that I like to view things through the lens of a romanticized history. When it comes to the valleys that surround the city of Los Angeles, now overtaken by suburban sprawl, I linger on surviving pockets of the rural past, imagining the way the land once was - the ranches, the citrus groves. A western paradise out "California way" as Bing Crosby sings in a cowboy's tune about the San Fernando Valley.

First of all a declaration if innocence and newbie-ness:
Most of the time I have absolutely no idea about what I'm doing, and this thing with Linux is something I've been trying to learn for just under two years now. What I'm doing at the moment probably has a lot of problems "under the hood" (or not?), but if I get it working the way I want it to I might actually make it my default OS on my netbook.
Anyway - after reading the guide by squeezy (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=103554) on how to make your own Maya XFCE I decided to do some cooking on my own, following the same guide, but installing LXDE instead.
So - I downloaded and installed the mini.iso from Ubuntu, copied over the preferences & sources.list from the Maya XFCE install, installed lxde and some other things recommended in the post by squeezy and this is what I've got so far:
Apart from missing some minor tweaks and some of my preferred applications this setup seem to run quite well. Memory usage is quite low (could be even lower if it weren't for Jupiter). What I can't figure out though are two things.
- If I pull the network cable and reboot the computer it gets stuck for some time with the following text:
- "Waiting for network configuration..."
"Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..."
and finally it says something about "booting without..." (don't have time to see it).
- The second one is about my wifi. As you can see in my inxi -F window my has the status listed as "down".
I imagine this is about loading a driver, some kind of autostart thing or something, but I can't figure out how to solve it. What I've tried so far is:
- Installed Wicd - this works perfectly. Eats more ram than I eat popcorn on a good movie night. Also - I am not very fond of the icon in my system tray. UGLY!
I also looked at Mint 12LXDE which seem to be using network-manager-gnome (and the nm-applet). Installing that one and choosing to add the network manager to the panel gives me two icons - one for wired and one for wifi. Clicking the wifi icon does something with my desktop that I haven't figured out yet - but the panel disappears. Apart from that it doesn't seem like the wifi-card gets activated either.
Thanks in advance,
EDIT: I realize I wasn't clear on what this post is about (apart from my - now solved - problem). Anyone can install the Maya XFCE Edition and then install LXDE on top, something that really doesen't merit a new thread.

Sypher Found Guilty Across The Board, Pitino Image Repair BeginsPosted by jstevrtc on August 5th, 2010
Earlier today, the jury in the Karen Sypher extortion case found her guilty on all six counts with which she was charged by the government. From KSR:
- Three counts of extortion,
- Two counts of lying to the FBI, and
- One count of retaliating against a witness.
By our tally, that can result in up to 26 years in the hoosegow and $1.5 million in fines. The sentence will be handed down within the next two months.
A couple of quick thoughts, here. You may recall that Sypher's defense team did not bother to call any witnesses as part of their case. This can only mean that her attorneys felt confident enough in the failure of the prosecution to get over that "reasonable doubt" threshold they're required to achieve. After an across-the-board guilty verdict, though, you certainly have to wonder about the radar and the handicapping abilities of that defense team. Not only will she not be taking them on any trips out to Churchill Downs any time soon, but it's conceivable that she could accuse them of ineffective assistance of counsel, a form of legal malpractice, and appeal this verdict. This tactic rarely works, however, because even if your defense calls no witnesses at a trial where you're found guilty, proving your counsel was incompetent is a very hard thing to do. You'd pretty much have to have an attorney like the lawyer who went nuts and stripped naked during the deposition in the movie Michael Clayton to make that stick.

Daily Deal 2/1/13: M Missoni
Every morning I wake up to an inbox overloaded with special offers, deals, flash sales and hot items. So why not let me do the work for you? I have looked through them all to pick the deal you just can't miss! Whether it's an on trend item, a fantastic sale or a classic staple piece, rest assured I will give you the daily deal worth buying.
There is still much speculation and confusion over famed knitwear brand Missoni launching a less expensive line. But last fall, Margherita Missoni set the record straight on twitter saying:
Missoni is NOT launching a second line. We already have a second line and it's called M Missoni.
Okay fine, we'll take that for now, especially while Margherita's focus is finding her father's missing plane. But let's be real, while M Missoni is less expensive than the Missoni label, it is still not that attainable. I am pretty sure that's why the Missoni line for Target FLEW out of the stores and even shut down the website briefly.In the meantime, we'll have to settle for M Missoni sales. Thank you ideeli.com for brightening our Friday with one! The discount website is featuring not a huge selection but a juicy one with colorful dresses, tops and skirts - all featuring Missoni's iconic knit patterns.

If you are going around humming "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas", don't fight it, why not treat your friends and family to a Christmas Party? Just keep in mind before you begin that the holidays, even though hectic, are the best time for gathering together with friends and loved ones. Don't allow yourself to plan something that is going to prove stressful to yourself, or those around you. Keep your planning and goals realistic, nobody will have fun if the hostess is too tired to enjoy! While you are planning your decorations, food and invitation list, just remember the end goal is to….have a wonderful time!

This plate, the upper-right corner of John Mitchell's "A Map of the British and French Dominions in North America...," depicts the northeastern-most regions of the continent, which England and France had divided between them by the 18th century. The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) established British title to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; Isle Royale (Cape Breton) remained French, as did Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island). The areas bordering the Bay of Fundy and the Northumberland Strait continued to be occupied by French settlers commonly referred to as Acadians. In order to better protect their concessions in the Treaty of Utrecht, the French built a fortress at Louisbourg. The English responded by establishing a strong naval base at Halifax in 1749.

It's a maroonish red polish with pink and silver glitter (including circle glitter!) and a purple shimmer/flash and I wanted to love it but it didn't quite happen. It ended up being a very thick manicure (coats of polish plus tons of topcoat). Maybe 5 coats of topcoat -- I added one more before taking these pictures, and in the 1st you can see the trouble area.
Gorgeous polish, in need of a good amount of thinner, though.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- The Brandeis Universiy women's cross country team placed seventh out of eight teams at the 2011 University Athletic Association championships held at the University of Chicago on Saturday.
The Judges were paced by senior Kate Warwick (Boxborough, Mass./Acton-Boxborough), who came in 17th place overall. Warwick covered the 6K course in a time of 23:22.82, missing All-UAA honors by 15 seconds. She improved by 20 places over her junior campaign by shaving 20 seconds off her time.
In second place for the Judges was rookie Miriam Stulin (Needham, Mass./Dana Hall School), who had her top collegiate performance by finishing 31st overall with a time of 23:55.86. It was the first time she has been Brandeis's second runner this season and the first time she has run 6K in college. Stulin finished eighth among UAA rookies this year.
Next up for the Judges was sophomore Ali Kirsch (Sharon, Mass./Sharon), who finished in 37th place with a time 27:08.73, good for an improvement of 22 place and 56 seconds over her 2010 performance. Classmate Victoria Sanford (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) came in 61st with a time of 25:14.65, while senior Monique Girard (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial) rounded out the scoring runners for the Judges in 67th place in 25:55.17. Rookie Kristi Pisarik (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford) was Brandeis's last finisher in 69th place with a time of 26:13.20.
The Judges' seventh-place finish was down a spot from 2010. They scored 185 points, edging eighth-place Rochester by a single point. The UAA features five nationally-ranked teams: Champions and second-ranked Washington University (25 points); No. 26 NYU (2nd place, 68 points; No. 19 Emory (3rd place, 85 points); No. 33 Chicago (4th place, 114 points); and No. 35 Case (5th place, 118 points). Carnegie Mellon finished just ahead of Brandeis in sixth with 178 points.
Brandeis returns to action next weekend at the NCAA New England regional championships at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.

Since the start of modern mechanical engineering, numerous patents, new developments and innovative details can be attributed to the inventive spirit of INDEX. Perhaps that is the reason why we are always looking to push our limits and be better. Our ultimate goal is to build the best turning machines through top performance. Check out the current INDEX product portfolio including production turning machines, turn-mill centers, turn-grind centers, vertical turning machines and CNC multi-spindle turning machines.
INDEX automatic turning machines are especially designed for fast, cost-effective production of standard automated turned parts and complex CNC turned parts. The flexibility of CNC technology, combined with the high speed of classic automation, allows the production of small to medium lot sizes at competitive prices.
go to product
The INDEX universal turning machine has an excellent reputation around the world when it comes to the machining of large chuck, shaft, and bar workpieces. Through precision, efficiency, short cycle times, and ease of use, these universal turning machines have set a standard in their class. The machines can be tailored to suit any specific requirements – prototype production, small and medium series production, or for use in a production line.
INDEX multi spindle automatic lathes combine the advantages of CNC technology with those of cam-controlled machines. They can be used not only for series production of a wide range of precision parts but also for small series due to their extremely short setup times. Whatever the application, these multi spindle turning machines impress with their high performance.
INDEX turn-mill centers set the standard for economic, high-precision solutions tailored to the customer's needs. Standards ranging from the classic production turning machine to tailor-made machining cells equipped with handling units. For the machining of simple to highly complex parts, in small to large lot sizes, INDEX consistently offers economically and technologically superior solutions.
INDEX vertical turning centers meet all requirements of a low-cost flexible series production of chuck parts. The vertical mobile motor spindle carries out the "handling" and "machining" functions. Short travel distances, combined with high rapid traverse speeds, substantially reduce time. Even high-precise grinding operations are possible on these vertical turning machines.
The turn-grind centers combine the advantages of the turning and grinding process, such as shorter cycle times, high quality and maximum process safety. In addition, the machines benefit from the rigidity of the machine concept, which is traditionally designed for the high process forces during turning and milling and ensures tolerances down to the nearest µ.
The operating system for direct communication with your business organization.
Focus on control and production – Industry 4.0 included.
Virtual Machine is a software solution that supports almost all of the functionality of your INDEX machine tool and adds even further components. You simulate the exact machining, regardless of whether you carry out programming on the machine or with a CAM system. It is based on the original data of the Siemens software, the INDEX control and the machine geometry.
VirtualPro is an innovative programming aid for INDEX turning machines. A large number of powerful input masks, parameterizable sequences and geometric functions simplify programming considerably. You create the desired workpiece program more quickly and conveniently and, thus, in a more reliable manner.
At TRAUB we consider it to be our foremost duty to serve our customers. TRAUB has achieved its reputation as one of the leading manufacturers of CNC turning and machining centers not only by having gained a headstart in matters of advanced technology and excellence, but also through the development of a user-oriented product range and an extensive service network. Here is a brief introduction to our competitive range of machine tools with its universal turning centers and short and long turning machines.
The TRAUB TNA line has an excellent reputation around the world when it comes to the machining of large chuck, shaft, and bar workpieces. Through precision, efficiency, short cycle times, and ease of use, these universal turning machines have set a standard in their class. The machines can be tailored to suit any specific requirements – prototype production, small and medium series production, or for use in a production line.
CNC sliding headstock automatics from TRAUB are designed for exact and productive manufacturing of long and slim parts with a maximum diameter of 32 mm. The multitude of variants, miniturization and precision of the work pieces are but a few of the demands on a CNC swiss turning center. The TNL-series is characterized through high performance in combination with easy setup and programming.
TRAUB turn-mill centers are intended for economic complete machining of complex parts on a single machine. Turning and milling operations, as well as the implementation of other machining processes such as polygon turning, profile and flat milling, the production of special threads or the integration of laser machining. The decisive factor is not the multitude of variants, but the profit you make.
The performance of a modern machine tool depends not only on a well-designed machine but also to a large degree on the CNC control. TRAUB has realized this early on, which is why we have been developing our own control concept TX8i-series, thus setting new standards. For comfortable generation, optimizing and simulation of CNC programs, TRAUB offers WinFlexIPS, that can be run on both the machine and the PC.
Read exciting success stories of our customers that were possible through the use of INDEX and TRAUB products.

1260 Infinity Diode Array Detector
10 x higher sensitivity for HPLC and RRLC
The Agilent 1260 Infinity Diode Array Detector (DAD) features a completely new optical design based on the Agilent Max-Light cartridge cell with optofluidic waveguides. With typical detector noise levels of <± 0.6 µAU/cm the revolutionary 6 cm flow cell gives up to 10 times higher sensitivity than the Agilent 1200 Series DAD and VWD detectors. Any compromising refractive index and thermal effects are almost completely eliminated, resulting in significantly less baseline drift for more reliable and precise peak integration. Multiple wavelength and full spectral detection with up to 80 Hz data rates allows precise identification, quantification and purity analysis at trace levels for ultra-fast LC separations.

Director of Track and Field Bill Taylor announced the team awards and season honors for the 2013 Lipscomb Track & Field season.
"We have a tradition of awards that represent our core values within the cross country and track & field programs" Taylor said. "These are big honors for our athletes as it means they represent the best of what we are and lead the way in making our program one of the best in the nation in every way, which creates a very unique and special environment."
Most Improved:
Andrew Wolf (Sophomore – Puyallup, Wash.) and Andrew Bosket (Freshman – Arlington, Wash.)
"It is hard to win this award for our team," Taylor said. "We have so many dramatic improvements for so many athletes in so many events. To win it two years in a row is crazy.
"Andrew Wolf is co-recipient of this award this year, his second year in a row to win the award. And why not? After a ton of improvement last season, culminating in All-A-Sun honors in the 400m hurdles, Andrew topped that by winning the A-Sun 400m hurdles this year. He lead a sweep of the event by Lipscomb hurdlers, and added All-A-Sun honors in the 110m hurdles. He set school records in the 110m hurdles and the 60m hurdles and is closing in on the 400m hurdles record. It was a very exciting season for Andrew and worthy of the award."
"Andrew Bosket came in as a pretty average middle distance guy from high school. Even starting the track season Andrew wasn't putting up fast 800m times, posting a 2:04.61 and a 2:03 in his first two meets.
"Then Andrew started to click. His workouts got better and better. His tenacity in racing and race intelligence improved. Andrew finished the season running 1:53.07 at the A-Sun Championships!
"His improvement was remarkable and is a taste of what is to come. Andrew has shown the willingness to work and to learn, and most of all to be an amazing runner. He is becoming a student of the sport and has huge goals. He has a ton of room to improve still, which is very exciting and has a very bright future ahead."
The Matt Deery Fightin' Bison (the person who demonstrated the most guts, mental toughness and physical toughness):
Geoff Musick (Senior – Nashville, Tenn.)
"Geoff has ultimate desire for this programs success," Taylor said. "He wants to see himself, and even more so his teammates, achieve greatness. You always know Geoff is going all-out in both practice and competition.
"This season Geoff broke 15-minutes for 5000m for the second season in his career, leading a group of four freshmen under 15. His example of toughness has made the entire team tougher and better."
For the Team (the best teammate, the most positive and caring):
Kenny Smith (Sophomore – Etowah, Tenn.)
"Kenny has immense care for the success of this program and expresses it constantly," Taylor said. "He gives his personal best in all that he does, and has high expectations for everyone.
"He served as a team captain for the first time this year and worked behind the scenes and visibly to make each person and the program as a whole the best it can possibly be."
Heart of Gold (the person who demonstrates the highest character, who doesn't compromise, who does the right thing every time, even when nobody is looking):
Gemikal Prude (Freshman/Sophomore – Melbourne, Fla.)
"Gemikal has been an inspiration to the entire team this year," Taylor said. "Going from being academically ineligible as a freshman last year, to not only being eligible, but posting a 4.0 GPA this spring.
"From not being able to compete, to breaking one of our oldest records in the indoor and outdoor high jump. Gemikal also won the A-Sun outdoor title in the high jump and qualified for the NCAA I National Championship Preliminary Round.
"Although Gemikal is a pretty quiet guy, as the season went on, the team got a chance to see his heart for them, and his desire for success both for himself and for this program. He has gained a mountain of respect for being a guy that took responsibility for his actions, for his mistakes, and took control to change."
Total Commitment (who did it right, did it all, did it all the time, and did all the little things):
Kenny Smith (Sophomore– Etowah, Tenn.) and Geoff Musick (Senior – Nashville, Tenn.)
"Kenny earns this honor for the second year in a row," Taylor said. "He is simply one of the hardest workers on the team. He does everything it takes to be as good as he can possibly be, and expects the same from his teammates.
"Kenny would be the first to say he is not the naturally fastest, most gifted guy on the team, but he earns everything he gets. As a result, for the second year in a row he helped the men's 4x100m relay earn All-A-Sun honors. For the second year in a row he helped the men's 4x400m relay shock the conference with a surprise A-Sun Championship."
"Geoff has earned this award many times in cross country and track. He is the heart of the men's team in terms of desire and work ethic. He makes us better and he leads by example."
Freshman of the Year:
Jared Wingerter (Thompson's Station, Tenn.)
"Jared really set the tone for the freshmen men," Taylor said. "He stepped up repeatedly to have one of the best seasons a freshman distance runner has ever had.
"He qualified for the U.S. Junior Nationals in the 5000m early in the season, breaking 15 minutes. Jared ran the fastest 5000m on the team for the outdoor track season at 14:47, as well as the open 3000m at 8:33. He then stepped up at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships and finished second in the 5000m, earning All-A-Sun honors. That is the highest finish at the A-Sun Championships in Lipscomb history for the 5000m."
Tucker Peabody (Sophomore – Memphis, Tenn.)
"Tucker earns this honor for the second year in a row, and rightly so," Taylor said. "He has been the standout star of our men's track & field program for the past two years.
"In 2013 Tucker broke his own records in the 100m and 200m. He defended his A-Sun 200m Championships in both the Indoor and Outdoor seasons. He set the A-Sun Conference Outdoor record in the 200m. He qualified for the NCAA I Preliminary Round for the second year in a row, after posting a 200m time that held as the 20th best in the nation.
"He also qualified for the NCAA I National Championships Preliminary Round in the 100m. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the 200m.
"At the A-Sun Championships, Tucker helped defend Lipscomb's title in the outdoor 4x400m relay, this time as the anchor, running a 46-second split to come from behind for the victory.
"He also earned All-A-Sun honors with a second place finish in the 100m, and in the 4x100m relay for the second year in a row.
"Tucker's time in the 200m qualified him with the A standard for the United States National Championships, the first ever Lipscomb athlete to qualify for the U.S. Championships. Tucker still has many goals left for his senior year. This season took him many steps closer to those goals and set him up for an even better senior campaign."

I have noticed a few minor defects in AOS 4.1 FE that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, so I have decided to report them. Eventually I went for separate threads to avoid confusion.
If the problem described below is already discussed elsewhere, please feel free to just point me to the right place. Thanks.
My system:
* Radeon 9000 with 64 MB RAM
* SoundBlaster Live!
* IDE HD on a1ide.device (normally turned off at the beginning of the startup-sequence)
* SATA SDD on Sil5312ide.device
* all partitions formatted with SFS/00
The problem here is that the ASL requesters do not update the Drawer gadget when a drawer/partition/assign is selected without entering it:
This is not coherent with the behaviour of when the choice is for drawers only (in that case it works - f.ex., try RequestFile DRAWERSONLY) and with files selection (the File gadget gets updated as soon as a file is single-clicked).
I noticed this because at some point I only needed to select a directory and found out that I had to double-click (I hate double-clicking!). Before, it wasn't so.
BTW, I'm not sure how it was before, but I have just noticed that, additionally, the partition names do not have the : at the end: there's a little incoherency with the assigns there, and it looks quite odd (there's no possibility of exchanging them for drawers thanks to the context, but still...).

Hmm. Wish I had some lead for you. I would say "terra cotta lamp" or "vintage pottery" lamp?? I'm sure you've tried those already though. If I run across anything similar I will let you know!

Some of those look like they might have been old vessels turned into lamps. I saw a collection of old sardine jars (random) at an antique store in Fairhope this summer that looked similar. Hope you can find something!

Awww, the violance that we have come to know and love, and hug while we sleep.
In the end there's always the internet, any other stores in the area that sells them?
My parents won't let me order stuff online. (got scammed once)
Don't worry, I'll find it eventually...just need a little time to finish up high school.
I'm sure you won't end up pulling a bayonet on your teacher for any reason-hint hint- good luck
an image from the original series during production.
Ooo...concept art. That's the sort of thing I would like to do someday...just sit and draw whatever comes into my head.
Hard to tell exactly what part of the anime that's supposed to be...I'm guessing the second-to-last episode, where the Tower of London is captured by Incognito's vampire-soldiers...
I think, I'm not too sure myself.
Sorry, I've been spamming quite a bit on this, but the post doesn't jump to the top with an edit.
Anyway, there's a new member with a Rip Van Winkle avatar, Riya Ciepher, I hope she'll join us in the conversation. There's what, three Hellsing fans.
Draco, Balancesheet, and myself on a regular basis.
Well, a lot of the new members are mostly lurkers...but it would be nice to have our own mini-Hellsing fanclub inside the BFFC.
In the end we could all join a different board for that. Anyway, I'll see if I can find a good board over the next few weeks for that. I just don't think there are going to be a lot of members on this BFFC who have even heard of Hellsing or watched it much less read it any time soon.
Well, I looked a bit a while back...couldn't seem to find anything.
Hey, I was wondering if you're a fan of Full Metal Alchemist at all...I'm currently going through the anime as quick as I can, and I think it's pretty good...still not even halfway through yet, though.
Slightly, it was the anime that got me back into the genre. There was this huge gap on Television after Outlaw Star went off the air, all they had was Pokemon and Digimon. I sort of stopped watching anime totally. Tenchi Muyo sort of helped but it didn't make much since to me at the time.
My favorite character is probably Envy, or Hues.
Haven't gotten to Hues yet...I'm on episode 24, though I did go and read the spoilers on wikipedia (which I somewhat regret). It's fun trying to tell my brother who Pride and Sloth are when he's still on episode 11 and really, really doesn't want me to spoil it.
Digimon...I used to watch that. Back when it was "good".
Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty awesome, even though I have only seen maby ten episodes.
They're going to releash a movie for it soon, I don't know if it's out in Japan yet however.
I thought there was a movie already...
I'm having date lag, there's two out. Something like that, I'm still running on the American release or somethin.
now that youtube.com has been brought to my attention, episode 1 of Hellsing is available in full format albiet in Japanese. Though the opening song has always been in english.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAi_FBHU … %20episode
For those people who have no idea what we've been talking about.
So you've seen it now? How did you like it?
Yea, now i've seen it instead of read it. Anime quality 9/10 the opening sequnce has one part I'm not fond of. Story accuracy 7/10. Voice dubbing 9/10. I've been using youtube to watch Naruto episodes for a few months though, I didn't even think to look up Hellsing.
Which part bugged you on the opening sequence?
My favorite bit was the fight with Anderson (of course), and Alucard getting shot to pieces and putting himself together.
Cursed school proxys...can't get on youtube for anything...:(
the bit where it shows Alucard changing for some reason, where he's a shading. This one doesn't have the Anderson fight, it's the original series episode.
My mom does not want me watching it, what would it be rated?
it's unrated, I'd have to say either T.V.14 or PG. Inuyasha is PG after all.

text: Dion Family Student Center and Quad Commons Residential Hall dedicated News Home 10.09.13 By: Buff Lindau The Dion Family, with Donald Dion '76, center (pink tie), his wife to his right and his mother to his left. "A Game Changer" The two hundred-plus people assembled in the foyer of the brand new student center heard "this is a game changer." This building provides students space "to breath, to meet, recreate, meditate, congregate, study and collaborate" (VP for Student Affairs Dawn Ellinwood). It provides "the wow factor I was looking for" (Student Association President Alexander Ieronimo '14), and creates for us "a new sense of community"(President John Neuhauser). Students, staff, alumni, trustees and benefactors spoke at the October 4, 2013, dedication of the Dion Family Student Center and the Quad Commons Residential Hall. This major project, conceived of by President Neuhauser and first discussed at the October 2010 meeting of the board of trustees, came to fruition after three years of work involving hundreds of designers and builders, with input from students, staff, trustees, faculty and administration. A powerful force for advancing student formation in the Edmundite tradition Patrick Gallivan '89, Vice President for Institutional Advancement, emceed the dedication program, and introduced The Very Rev. Michael Cronogue, SSE, Superior General of the Society of St. Edmund, who gave the invocation. Board Chairman William Gallagher said, "This creative, aggressive and complex project" meets four needs: space for student activities, an upgrade to the existing quad dorms, creation of new residence space, and improved "curb appeal" for student recruitment. This building "allows the college to move forward in our mission of student formation in the Edmundite tradition." Trustee Ernest Pomerleau '69, himself a builder, called the project "a game changer." It has been a 'mystical' collaborative effort, "and I've seen a lot of projects," he said. For example, he said, students would bring coffee to construction workers at 7 and 8 in the morning. Vice President for Student Affairs, Dawn Ellinwood said the center gives students great opportunities; it is an intentional student-centered project that provides a wonderful realm for student growth - we welcome it whole heartedly. Jesse Beck, president of the architectural firm, Freeman French Freeman, said "We were guided by Jack Neuhauser to create a new sense of community with this building." Rare concept of linking 4 existing dorms with the new buildings The linking of the new Dion Family Student Center with Joyce and Ryan Halls, and the linking of the new Quad Commons Residence Hall with Lyons and Alumni Halls, provides interior access to the Dion Center through all seasons for over 900 students. In Vermont winters this innovation will be appreciated. The centralization of student life in this way is already showing success as students are populating the center from 8 a.m. to midnight. Patterns of use will continue to evolve, but the student areas are already in constant use, with students watching for their turn in the digital lounge, in study spaces and elsewhere in the new building. Beck said the project involved some 7,000 hours of design and implementation. He said the dramatic light column that changes color and configuration is unlike anything seen on campus before. That outside light structure serves as an invitation to welcome people to come inside. The architect also referenced the great interior and exterior archways inspired by Edmundite architecture from history. James Fayette of PC Construction Company, praised the "great partnership and teamwork" between all members of the Vermont-based building team that "resulted in this incredible building." Fayette gave special praise to Saint Michael's own Jim Farrington, college engineer, whose project management and design skills were instrumental and essential from start to finish on this project. This college will be grateful for one hundred years to the people who made this space possible, said President John J. Neuhauser. Students now have much needed places to meet, talk, pray, study, and to learn from each other. "We have every hope that this space will inspire and ignite great learning." Principal Benefactor Donald R. Dion Jr. '76 makes possible Saint Michaels 1st real student center "This quiet son of Maine made possible the Dion Family Student Center," President Neuhauser said, introducing lead donor, Don Dion. "All of us, and all who will learn and grow in this space thank you," he said. Don Dion spoke of why he was able to make this gift to help build Saint Michael's first real student center. No one in my family had gone to college, he said. Both his father who worked six days a week, and his mother, a nurse, who worked nights, were always saving money for their son to go to college. They "didn't have much," but their son arrived at St. Mike's at age 17, and, he said, "I had four of the best years of my life." "Professor Joe Amhrein got me interested in the stock market" and became one of those guys who was available to talk to," Dion said. When I got in trouble, Don Sutton took a chance and let me stay. And Father Doherty "gave me good advice that kept me going." Years later, after launching a successful career, and becoming a Saint Michael's trustee, Dion said he discovered that the Saint Michael's world was not like in business - instead people are really nice here, he said. He added that, one-hundred percent of the trustees contributed to the project, and many former trustees too. "It is very rewarding that everyone contributed." "Jack (Neuhauser) had the vision to look to the future, when I was cautious and skeptical," Dion said. "But I was wrong, and was really glad I could do this." He said his work day goes from 5:30 a.m. till late at night, and thanked his wife for taking care of so much at home for him. "We did this for the students," he said. To conclude, the Rev. Brian Cummings, SSE '86, blessed the building. And the two hundred-plus guests toasted the great occasion.

Just wanted to stop in and say hello! I'm new to Atheist Nexus and looking forward to getting to know people.
I was raised Southern Baptist and converted to Orthodox Christianity in 2007. Owning up to my atheism has been a long, torturous, emotional process since mid-2008 or so, and began with admitting to myself that I did not believe homosexuality was a sin. I originally disguised these first wrinkles in my faith as "struggles" - I couldn't say, "I disagree with the Bible," for many years. Instead I would say, "I struggle with this teaching," or something similar. When I finally said, "out loud" in my brain, "I disagree with the Bible's teaching that homosexuality is a sin," it was a sweet release from the shackles of faith I had worn so willingly, and the rest of my beliefs quickly followed suit.
I'm still not "out" with my family or anyone from my childhood church or the Orthodox church. I'm trying to find that courage and I think I get a bit closer every day.
Having been raised Southern Baptist I was taught to mistrust & discount science (and evolution above all), so I am positively a child when it comes to understanding most scientific concepts and principles. I'm actively looking to expand my knowledge in this area.
Like many here, I'm sure, I count several secular writers and scientists among my teachers, particularly Christopher Hitchens. I find his brand of tough love - the sweet, stinging Hitchslap - to be particularly effective in dispelling the religious notions still entrenched in my brain, things like "if there's no god, how can you determine morality?" and others. He's also a tremendously gifted writer and I find that I am more learned after every paragraph I work through in his books or essays.
I'm sure I've gone on long enough already, so there is my deconversion, in a nutshell. Looking forward to good discussions & resources to increase my knowledge about our world.

Hi Anna, and welcome. I LOVE that intro. I'm not here nearly as much as I should be, but am very glad you are, lol.

The fiords of Norway are filled with spectacular scenery: Waterfalls crashing down out of skyscraper tall mountains capped with snow, quaint mountain villages and colourful flowers dotting green fields. I was cruising on Holland America's Eurodam ship with a friend watching the magnificence as we gently glided through many spectacular places.
Our adventure started in Amsterdam, where a large group of religious Jewish people boarded the ship. I was puzzled and pleasantly surprised as I always try to find a Jewish connection when I travel, and since Norway has an extremely small Jewish population, I had no idea where to even start.
Turns out the Jewish connection found me. A lovely British couple (along with their four children) told me they were travelling with Kosherica and Eddie's Travel. The tour operator and travel agency booked a portion of the rooms on the ship for guests in need of a kosher kitchen, prayer services and even a Torah. In addition to Holland America's endless options for activities they also had a variety of Jewish related options as well as glatt kosher meals.
As we cruised through calm waters, I met many lovely Jewish people, from the French family who invited me to spend Shabbat with them in Paris, to the owners of Kosherica who asked us to join them for an elegant evening meal.
I laughed at the coincidence, here I was at the top of the world, and somehow a Jewish connection appeared, not to mention a Torah was traveling with us on board the ship.
Holland America cruises are an ideal way to travel through Norway. Our ship, the Eurodam, was cozy and intimate. In addition to several restaurants, there is also an explorer lounge filled with books, a coffee bar, fitness centre and the all important spa. I highly recommend experiencing any treatment, as they are all exceptionally relaxing. Holland America also offers various shore excursions from city tours to kayaking through a fiord.
Our first stop was Alesund, home to 45,000 inhabitants. About two-thirds of its 1,040 wooden houses were destroyed in a fire in 1904. In the rush to shelter the 10,000 homeless victims, Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II, who often vacationed there, rebuilt the town and merged German art nouveau with Viking features, creating one of the few art-nouveau cities in the world.
After a wander around the city, one of the highlights, strangely enough, was to get back aboard a private boat and tour the 32-km long Hjorundfjord. The weather couldn't have been better, sunny and bright as we cruised into a storybook setting.
I was mesmerized one early morning while the ship cruised through the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 16-km-long, 960-foot-deep fiord is known for spectacular waterfalls such as the Seven Sisters and the Bridal Veil. The ship takes the same passage through the fiord as it is heading towards the town of Geiranger, and leaving it, but the views are completely different depending on the time of day, the ship's speed and the weather.
The day continued to dazzle. We joined a bus tour to Mt. Dalsnibba, however as we ventured higher through the mountains, the visibility on the winding roads grew dimmer. The vegetation grew sparse, and I mildly despaired whether or not I would be able to see anything. Suddenly, the mist started to evaporate, and I realized I was driving into one of the most heavenly places on the planet.
Wisps of white clouds turned into rays of light shining on snowy mountainsides melting into gushing waterfalls as the bus turned corners. I have never truly experienced brightness as a colour, but the clear daylight highlighted every rock, every droplet of water, every burst of green emanating from the ground. As the bus turned on the windy road an enormous lake appeared and just when I did not believe the landscape could be more appealing with the mix of snow, waterfalls and greenery, I saw the clouds beneath the mountains with the sunlight bouncing in all directions.
Our journey took us to a few more places in Norway filled with wonder. But none for me were as captivating as watching nature's painting unfold in so many ways that one can not only see the beauty, but feel the cool air and touch the rocks, snow and land. Norway is a landscape which appeals to all the senses, and brings natural beauty to the forefront of any traveler's mind.

The Frankenstein Theory
Frankenstein titles are proliferating. Among the completed titles are I, Frankenstein, now being adapted for 3-D release, as well as Frankenstein's Army and Army of Frankensteins, two different films. The first is Richard Raaphorst's much anticipated WWII horror that has Dr. Frankenstein churning out super-soldier monsters for the Nazi cause. The latter entry is a time travel tale with a host of parallel universe Frankenstein Monsters, and one Abraham Lincoln.
The Frankenstein Theory deals with a scientific expedition traveling to the edge of the Arctic Circle to investigate the intriguing premise that Mary Shelley's famous fiction was actually inspired by the true facts of "a horrific experiment gone awry".
The film is of the "found footage" genre, the trailer is familiarly replete with actors' asides to the camera, greenish night vision scenes and sudden shocks followed by a fumbled camera. The Monster of the tale, however, is clearly depicted on the poster.

Though I love Frankenstein and was thrilled there's a new movie with the creature my hopes were dashed when I saw that it was in the "found footage" sub-genre which has really overstayed its welcome as far as I'm concerned. The trailer really doesn't entice me to see the film since it seems to be endless scenes of shaky camera POVs and actors talking nonsense into the camera. The premise is a good one (though it has been done before) but the execution is lame.

Hi, everyone!
My name is Julianna Hedberg, and I am studying for my BA in psychology at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, Hungary. I have to write four research papers to get my degree, and one of them is on interpersonal communication in adolescents.
I am trying to gather information about communication from homeschooled teenagers. This involves them filling out a short survey (It shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes).
The reason that I'm so interested in this topic is that I was homeschooled all my life (College was literally my 'first day of school'). I've gone through all the debates and discussions with 'schoolers' about how home schooled children are somehow missing out by not going to school, and I'd like to settle the debate once and for all.
If you have a teenager between the ages of 13 and 18, and are interested in taking part, please message me, or email me at email@example.com and I can send you the survey (in a Microsoft Word compatibility file). All data is kept anonymous, and no personal information is collected.
In return for your teen's participation, I can offer a copy of the completed study, which will contain a lot of interesting information on the topic.
My deadline for collecting all the data is May 3, so do not hesitate! You will be really helping a former homeschooler get her degree.
All the best,
Julianna Hedberg
Interpersonal Communication in Adolescents
Since surveys keep getting posted, here is a place to put them.

Representing the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, The Witcher shatters the line between good and evil in a world where moral ambiguity reigns. The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition takes all of the acclaimed gameplay that garnered the original game more than 90 awards, and perfects it with a number of gameplay and technical improvements.
Superior dialogue and cutscenes - The developers have re-recorded and rewritten more than 5000 lines of dialogue in English and redone the entire German edition to create more a more consistent experience, while adding more than 200 gesture animations to make characters behave more believably in dialogue and cutscenes.
Enhanced inventory - The new inventory system makes item use and organization less complicated by introducing a separate sack for any alchemical ingredients, as well as a simple sort-and-stack function. Spend less time managing your inventory and more time playing the game.
Technical improvements - The enhancements made to the technical side of the game are too numerous to list, but a few of the highlights include greatly reduced loading times, greater stability, improved combat responsiveness, faster inventory loading, the option to turn autosave on or off, and more.
Character differentiation system - To add more variety to NPC and monster appearances, we've added a new character differentiation system that randomizes the appearance and colors of dozens of in-game models.
The Package - The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is more than just a better version of last year's RPG of the Year. The premium packaging would usually infer some sort of Collector's Edition... but at the price of a regular game, it's simply a great value.

Kimchi fried rice, cooked with cabbage and cucumber kimchi I made the other day. I used dried shrimp instead of mince or prawn, also added sliced shiitake mushroom. No more egg at home, otherwise I would add an egg too. I love fried rice cooked with egg or topped with a fried egg.
I am sure T would love this, cooking extra steamed rice tonight and saving it for tomorrow. Going to cook kimchi fried rice again tomorrow, probably with mince. By the way, I like to stir-fry chopped kimchi first before adding in rice, find it tastes better after fried.
Ingredients (1 serving):
1 cup cooked rice
1 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked and drained
Handful chopped Kimchi
1 shiitake mushroom, sliced (optional)
1 tbsp water from kimchi
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
Soy sauce to taste
Few drops of sesame oil
- Heat oil in non-stick pan, add in dried shrimp and fry till browned lightly.
- Stir in garlic, kimchi and mushroom. Stir-fry for one minute or so then stir in rice.
- Stir-fry for one to two minutes, add in water from kimchi and cook till water is evaporated.
- Add soy sauce to taste and sesame oil. Transfer to plate and garnish if desired, serve warm.

A MAN found dead in his car at a popular picnic site had mixed chemicals to produce deadly fumes, an inquest heard.
Robert Williams, 51, suffered carbon monoxide poisoning after taking chemicals from his workplace, cleaning fluids manufacturer McBride's.
The inquest at Burnley Coroners' Court heard a statement from Julie Davies, lead occupational health adviser at McBride's, who said that Mr Williams, of Leet Close, Higham, had sent an email to the laboratory team on the morning on November 7 last year.
He requested the chemicals because he said he 'had an idea that he didn't think had been patented'.
On the night of November 7 he failed to return home and was reported missing by his wife around 10pm. His car was found in the early hours of November 8 on Barley New Road, in Roughlee, by PC Kenneth Bracewell.
In a statement to the coroner he said he found Mr Williams lying on the back seat of the car.
On opening the back door he said he was 'taken aback by the very strong smell of some form of chemical'.
An ambulance was called but Mr Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.
His wife told the coroner Mr Williams had been the subject of a police inquiry the previous month but no details were given at the inquest.
She said: "I knew he was upset and I was worried about him, but I never imagined he was so depressed that he would end his own life."
Pathologist Richard Shepherd told the inquest some internet forums dedicated to suicide recommended mixing the chemicals used by Mr Williams as a way to generate carbon monoxide.
Coroner Richard Taylor recorded a verdict of suicide.

And, in addition to this, its design yields an incredibly durable base that provides an affordable alternative to the full-carbon options.
Zipp modeled the Alumina after its VukaBull, using the proven 6066-series aluminum instead of carbon fiber. Compared to the VukaBull, the Alumina weighs in around 40g heavier (250g), and it doesn't feature the same airfoil shape or drop option. However, at roughly one-third of the price, and with only a minimal weight penalty, it provides you with a value-oriented base bar that's still exceptionally versatile.
Zipp's engineers made the Alumina as sleek as possible, incorporating internal cable routing and smooth, natural bends that form the five-degree upswept hand grips. Borrowed from the VukaBull, this design promotes a natural wrist position for climbing and sprinting. The bar's wide mounting area provides an array of extension positions, allowing you to find the most optimal fit for your riding style. Zipp also designed the Alumina to be compatible with all current drivetrain systems and plug-in style brake levers. It's optimized for use with the Vuka Alumina Clip, but it's also compatible with the VukaClip and most other clips on the market.
The Zipp Vuka Alumina Base Bar is available in a high-polish Black finish. It measures 42cm (outside-to-outside) and has a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
