|Dodge Challenger SE/SXT Specific This area is for discussion specific to the Dodge Challenger SE/SXT model.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Ok so I'm hoping that this first works out:
Looking to walk into the Dodge Dealership on New Years Eve when they are desperate to get rid of the 2012s, and trade in my newly purchased (June 2012) Challenger SXT Plus for a 2012 R/T or R/T plus. I owe around 24500 on the SXT and I'm hoping to have some change from the trade to put towards the R/T and also hoping the last minute incentives will knock some mula off the tag. Looking in the end to spend about 27000 said and done. Doubt that is how it is going to work out but I'm hoping it does.
Now if that doesnt work lol
How in the holy hell can I get some more pep in this V6 step. I changed out the exhausts and filter as most do but what else?!?
I traded in my '12 fully loaded SXT and the best quote I got from three dealerships was $21,000, partly due to a dent on the roof. I'd be surprised if you got more than $22-23k.
I took a hit for sure. However, that's easily forgettable when I feel my new R/T accelerate with great force while barely going past 2000 RPM.
Last year I took my 11 Rallye with 900 miles on it to go look at R/Ts. They offered 22k. There was no way I was going to actually trade it in but I was curious on the trade in value since kbb didn't have 11s listed at the time yet. But if you find the right dealer you might be able to get a decent offer. In my opinion, they're not as desperate to get rid of the 12s AND take in your car as you might think. Granted the OP owes less on the 12 than I do on my 11 (thanks to refinancing for a lower rate and not having a payment for a few months) so the hit might not be too bad
I imagine that there will be aftermarket power adders for the 3.6 in the next few years.

EuropaBio welcomes three major announcements that were made this week ...
Thanks to innovation in medicine and increased access to treatment, ...
Biotechnology is central to tackling grand challenges through its many applications for industry, agriculture and healthcare.
This month EuropaBio launches its new Healthcare Manifesto 2011-2012.
The European Commission's Eurobarometer on public perceptions of life sciences and biotechnology, released on November 11th, indicated that confidence and optimism are on the rise.
EuropaBio welcomes the official appointment of the Barroso II Commission.
Yesterday 22 CEOs from Member State Biotech companies, together with representatives of 11 National
Biotech Associations, converged on Europe's capital for EuropaBio Brussels Day and a series of
meetings with EU decision makers.
Today, Europabio joins in congratulating the three Nobel Prize winning scientists who have discovered
that the key to successful DNA replication is in the caps at the ends of chromosomes - the telomeres -
and in the enzyme that forms them - telomerase.
On June 9, Health Ministers from the 27 EU Member States unanimously signed up to a series of political commitments on behalf of Europe's rare disease patients, by adopting a Council Recommendation on a European Action in the Field of Rare Diseases.
Better science, better regulation and better access policies are needed in Europe to support an innovative healthcare industry and the bio-pharmaceutical industry to deliver state-of-the-art standards of prevention, treatment and cures for EU citizens.

You're the next host of the Price is Right.
'The Price is Right' for Drew Carey - USATODAY.com
Not sure how to feel on this one... Nobody will EVER be as good as Bob Barker.
Always been a big Drew Carey fan. He's humble, almost to the point of self-deprecation. Loved him on his own show and Who's Line...it's true that nobody will be as good as Barker. But Carey's a very good replacement, and certainly beats the crap outta Rosie loudmouth freakin' O'Donnell
Drew Carey is awesome, but him doing The Price is Right? I guess I'd have to see it before I knock the idea, but the two go together like water and oil...
Go Sssssssssyclones!
I really like the acting of Drew. I'm still almost convinced that will Barker leaving, the Price is Right be over - I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
He is perfect for the price is right. Grannies will like him, kids will like him, and best of all, he is not Rosie.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Hey Bob Barker is obviously the pioneer of it all, but Drew Carrey will do GREAT!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: Ocean10000 & incrediBILL & phranque
redirect 301 http://www.example.com/index.shtml http://www.example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com/index.shtm
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
I have tried several variations of the above examples and I get one of two results, either a 500 internal server error, or no redirect or rewrite.
I already have the following things working:
AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html .shtml
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?otherdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([A-Za-z0-9])(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)?(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L]
the problem is that google has my main index page indexed several times, like this:
the things I have working now are getting rid of the ppc tracking urls and also the www/non-www problem but I can't seem to find a solution for the index.shtml problem
[edited by: jdMorgan at 4:05 pm (utc) on May 16, 2005]
[edit reason] Examplified. [/edit]
AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html .shtml
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Redirect client requests for /index.shtml to "/" in main doamin
# (This will not affect internal rewrites)
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.shtml
RewriteRule ^index\.shtml$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
# Redirect all requests for alternate domain names to 'favored' domain to prevent duplicate content in SEs
# (Removed the filename from your RewriteCond - it will not be present in %{HTTP+HOST})
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?otherdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Remove query string (guessing -- not sure if this is what you intended).
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^[a-z0-9] [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L]
If the /index.shtml fix above still results in a redirection loop, then rename the /index.shtml file to something else and add an internal rewrite from "/" to the new file. This should prevent the loop. The loop, if any, would be a result of the interaction of mod_dir, and mod_rewrite.
%{THE_REQUEST} is the original request header line received from the client. It might look like this, for example:
GET /widgets.shtml?color=blue&texture=fuzzy HTTP/1.1
Thanks for the help, this works great! Is there anything I can add or modify to do one more thing?
all of the rewrites work properly and return the proper header responses, the only thing that does not work is if you go to:
it only rewrites to:
and I would like it to go to, or rewrite:
it works as long as the query string url has the www in it though.
when I input: [example.com?query=string...]
it rewrites and 301's to: [example.com...]
when I input: [example.com?query=string...]
(notice, no www)
it goes to: [example.com?query=string...]
So now, the third rule should kick in, and once again redirect the client to the www domain, but now without the query string.
If you're asking can you do it all at once, sure, but then you'll end up with rules for all possible combinations of domain names and query strings -- more rules for you to write and maintain, and more rules for the server to process on every request...
So, is the problem that your browser does not end up at the proper URL eventually, or is it that you want to do all redirects at once?
If it's not redirecting eventually to the right place, then make sure you didn't inadvertently change anything about the code above except for the domain name. Most notably, the pattern anchors are present when needed, and missing when not desired. I've reviewed it several times, and it should work as you desire, albeit using two separate redirects.

hi, TStrube
I am not an expert at all, so please remember that my opinions are worth up to a certain point and not beyond!
I am assuming that the area depicted in your map is part of a bigger world, and the central mass is some big island/small continent
I appreciate the overall appearance of the land masses and by the way, for somewhat reason, i like so much the look of the smaller islands in the "south"
I have used myself the brushes from Star raven, and i think that your mountains are looking fine: however, i would like to see less... mh.. how can i say. Less clear cut separation between the various areas.
Maybe putting some more isolated tree between the mountains, or placing a couple of hills in a more southern position... perhaps what is disturbing me is the lack of vegetation around the rocky area: a tree or some bushes in the river valley? Probably it's only me, wait for more professional advices!
The river in the central part of the map is giving me some problems: usually, a river starts from a mountain (there is plenty of discussion on rivers on this forum), and flows to the sea following what i assume could be defined a line of lesser resistance. So, i would like to see a little bit of elevation in the central part of the island: i do not think there is the need for a huge big badass cliff, you can go for lower hills!
In while providing a point of origin to the waterway, the reliefs also influence the direction: so adding a few more elements will give a more natural look to your fluvial system.
I hope my humble ideas would be of some help to you.

Need help finding an apartment?
We can help!
Remember the Alamo? Looking to move to 'The River City'? Get ready to become a part of the seventh most populous city in the country, a city steeped in rich regional history and culture. San Antonio happens to be the most populous city in the state of Texas, checking in with roughly 1.3 million. Each year 20 million tourists pay a visit to the city, making enormous contributions to San Antonio's economy. The Alamo is the main attraction that tourists flock to— the infamous historical site is the source for the 'Alamo City' nickname. At the Alamo , situated in the heart of downtown, tourists (and San Antonio history buffs!) can learn about the Mexican American War and the influence of the Spanish Empire on North America. The city's economy revolves around financial companies like USSA and Cullen Frost Bankers. The supermarket H-E-B is based in San Antonio, and employs over 14,000 workers. Fortune Global 500 companies like Valero Energy Corporation and Tesoro Petroleum Corporation are based here as well. There is a strong military presence in San Antonio, and the defense industry employs over 89,000 workers. Over 100,000 students choose to pursue higher education at one of San Antonio's 31 institutions, which speaks to the desirability of the city. Looking to work in the hospitals? University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is the place for you. Trying to get a graduate alternative teacher certification? Check out Texas A&M at San Antonio. In this big western city, there is a school or a profession for everybody!How does San Antonio Stack Up? San Antonio is one of the cheaper major cities of Texas to reside in—Austin, Dallas, and Houston have all consistently been pricier since 2010 when comparing the median list prices. San Antonio beats out the competition when it comes to rent as well- with the median monthly rent at just a little over $1,000 a month, renters are getting a deal compared to the $1,500 median rent just a little ways north in Austin. Neighborhoods in SA-TownBe sure to carefully select a neighborhood according to where you are working in the city. Traffic and commutes can be pretty horrendous deep in the heart of Texas. After all, the city is populated by 1.3 million and thousands of tourists on a regular basis. The average commute time for city dwellers is around thirty minutes. So before you sign that lease, make sure that the commute is manageable for you. Downtown: As with any downtown residence, San Antonio's downtown offers a plethora of pricy homes. Yes, they are conveniently situated by the Riverwalk and Aztec River Theater (one of the last surviving exotic-themed movie palaces in Texas!), the Alamo, and yes, you could probably walk to work— but before you sign a pent house lease, make sure that you have some money left to eat each week. If you are looking for peace and quiet, you should probably seek housing elsewhere, as downtown San Antonio is encompassed by not one or two, but three Interstate Freeways, which creates the 'Downtown Loop'. Alamo Heights: This is an extremely affluent incorporated town that lies to the north of San Antonio. While the median list price for homes has fluctuated here for the past few years, it is usually around half a million. Attractive features of this neighborhood include the new Alamo Quarry Market shopping center, where shoppers can enjoy California Pizza Kitchen, P.F. Chang's, Coldwater Creek and Ann Taylor Loft. South Side: Immediately south of downtown San Antonio is Southtown, a region comprised by three overlapping neighborhoods. You're in luck if you're looking to be close to hipster dive bars, vintage clothing store, art galleries, coffeehouses, mom and pop taco joints, and much more! The housing in this neighborhood is mostly late nineteenth, early twentieth century styles homes, with a variety of different styles, including both Victorian and red-tiled-roof Spanish revival. Travel further south in this area and you will find Palo Alto College and Texas A&M University at San Antonio. Prospect Hill: Come live here if you're interested in a historical community with reasonable pricing on San Antonio's west side! This is a great neighborhood to start a family in, and many San Antonians do— half the residents have children. Here renters and home owners report average commute times, as most take thirty minutes or so to get to work. Some notable residents of Prospect Hill include Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez and actress Carol Burnett. East Side: Looking to cheer on the Spurs? You'll have a short drive if you live on the eastside, where the AT&T Center is situated. Check out the digs on San Antonio's eastside in neighborhoods like the historic Knob Hill and China Grove. Revitalization has been felt on the eastside in recent years— the Eastside Promise Neighborhood has recently received grants for neighborhood wide improvements. Transportation: The mass transit agency of San Antonio is called Via metropolitan Transit, or Via for short, taking its name from the Latin word for 'road' or 'way'. Via services the whole city, as well as the surrounding areas like China Grove and Alamo Heights. The fares are reasonable when compared to other cities in the U.S. Via has a rapid bus transit service known as Via Primo, which connects the South Texas Medical Center and the main campus of University of Texas at San Antonio to downtown. There are approximately 136 miles of bike lanes, routes, and off road paths in the city. San Antonio has also started utilizing a bike sharing service similar to the service being used in Denver, Colorado. San Antonio was ranked by Walk Score as the 40th most walkable of the largest fifty U.S. cities in 2011. Now that you've got the scoop on San Antonio, get out there start searching Alamo City for your new abode!

Rosy outlook
Carefree Spirit, Teeny Bopper among winning choices for 2009
At this time each year, nurseries in the rose business start rolling out new rose introductions for the coming year. In my opinion, the best of the new roses is Carefree Spirit, one of three All-America Rose Selections (AARS) winners for 2009.
It joins Carefree Wonder (AARS winner for 1991) and Carefree Delight (AARS winner for 1996) as a trio of fine roses from Jacques Ferare. Ferare is the breeder for Meilland Roses in the south of France and creator of many fine roses grown here.
All three Carefree varieties are excellent shrubs that do best in a bed restricted to shrubs. They do not look their best when mixed with other types of roses. For those who are looking for color in a difficult spot, all Carefree varieties do well in full shade.
Carefree Spirit has five petals with a particular distinct white center just outside the stamens. Its blooms are about 2 inches in diameter. The plant shows some of its red bloom color most of the time. A significant attribute of this variety is that the bloom does not fade or change in color as it ages.
A dynamite companion for Carefree Spirit is the new Teeny Bopper. Its blooms are scarlet with a white eye. It is called a shrublet, which connotes a small shrub. It was bred by Christian Bedard, Tom Carruth's understudy at Weeks Roses. Teeny Bopper's bloom is the same size as Carefree Spirit and it has a nearly identical white eye, but with 20 petals rather than five. It's a slightly darker red color – just right to go in front of or slightly under Carefree Spirit.
It is interesting that two new roses of different plant form but quite similar blooms have originated in the south of France and Southern California and have come onto the market at the same time. I think that it is also interesting that the mother tongue of both rose breeders is French. I can't think of a more beautiful combination of rose shrubs.
Cinco de Mayo is another AARS award winner described by its breeder, Tom Carruth, as "smoky lavender and rusty-red orange blend." This rose is unique in color and closest to Tom Carruth's Hot Cocoa. I don't find this bloom beautiful, but it is unique. There is a place for it in some gardens or planting plans but it must be placed with care.
The third of the trio of the AARS award winners is Pink Promise. It was created by Jim Coiner, a longtime nurseryman in La Verne, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains near Pomona. If you like light pink hybrid tea roses, give this one a try. The light pink buds are pretty but I have yet to see a pretty bloom either in Balboa Park or in my home garden.
Legends is a ruby red hybrid tea bred by Carruth. Weeks Roses is anursery that has the ability to round up all sorts of celebrities and attach their names to Carruth's very fine roses. Oprah Winfrey is a lover of roses and grows them well in her digs in Southern California. The original idea was to name the rose for Winfrey, but she asked that it be called Legends as a tribute to the 25 women honored at the 2005 Legends Weekend at her Montecito estate.
Whiteout is a new variety about which I have uncertain feelings. It was bred by my friend Bill Radler, the man behind the hugely successful Knockout series of roses. Blooms have five petals that open out flat, remain pure white for a very long time on a compact and tidy shrub. I have grown only one for one year and that one is planted in dark shade in order to give it a tough test. I grow it in the same place I grow Icebergs and this first year it is an equal to that most acclaimed white rose worldwide. Like all of Radler's roses, it needs no spraying because it is resistant to all fungus diseases and it has nothing that would attract insects. It's too early for me to say it's better than Iceberg but if you like white shrub or floribunda roses, give it a try.

One blessing in understanding the Gospel of grace is that we discover we have an unchanging, unshakeable identity in Christ. We are the beloved children of God. "What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it-we're called children of God!" 1 John 3:1a. As God's sons and daughters, we are holy, chosen, blameless, forgiven, accepted and so much more.Let me put it another way, our new nature is our identity in Christ. Our new nature is the new norm for defining us. Let that sink in. It's not our past, our successes or failures, our sins, our Biblical knowledge, the opinions of others or our performance in any area of life.
I've been teaching a more complete understanding of the Gospel for 25 years. The more I share it, the more I realize that understanding our identity in Christ frees us to be our true selves. We are each unique in our personality, spiritual gifts, God-given talents, personal passions and even body type. Ephesians 2:10 says it this way. "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in."
When we rest in our identity in Christ, we begin to discover and rest in our divine design. We can accept our personality type as the way God "hard-wired" us rather than wishing we were someone else. For example, if you are a high C on the DISC Profile, then God designed you to be very conscientious. Yet, many with this temperament wish they were high I's who are extroverts and tend to be the life of the party.
It's like a lighting store our Director of Counseling, Tom Short, told us about recently. It displays every shape and color of light bulb you could ever imagine: each one showing the light within uniquely. In the same way, God designed you to be a special shape and color to express Himself through. Isn't that freeing?
Why don't you tell your Father that you are standing firm in your identity in Christ today and that you accept yourself as the unique person God designed you to be. Christ in you is a gift to the world. Being confident in your identity in Christ will unleash the unique you to influence this world for God's glory, other's transformation and your joy.
Live Free in Christ,

April 25, 2012
BERKELEY - With Senior Day just a couple weeks away, CalBears.com caught up with senior outfielder Jamia Reid to reflect on her time in Berkeley. From the get go, Reid left her mark on the Golden Bear program by breaking the single-season steal record as a freshman. In 2010 as a sophomore, she catapulted her way to the All-Pac-10 first team and the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I All-Region First Team. After owning a team-high .497 slugging and 31 steals and second-best .394 batting average, Reid became an All-American. Heading into this weekend against UCLA, Reid ranks second in batting .397 with an incredible 38 steals.
CalBears.com: What will you miss most about Cal?
Jamia Reid: I am definitely going to miss my teammates. I've spent four years with these girls, and even the ones I got to know this year, I was able to build friendships with them. I love these girls.
CalBears.com: Has Cal lived up to or has it been different or better than the expectations you had of it as a freshman?
JR: Cal has certainly lived up to my expectations. With every year that went by, I found something new to eat or a new place to shop.
CalBears.com: What has been the most embarrassing or funny story in your years at Cal?
JR: I would have to say this year, when we were playing Oregon. I was stealing second base and the ball was hit to the left fielder, so I ended up rounding the bag. The left fielder ended up catching the ball, and I just ran back to first. I definitely made it back to first; however I never touched second base. Live and learn.
CalBears.com: What advice would you give to freshmen?
JR: I would have to say focus on your school work because the year goes by very fast, and it's okay to have a social life. Also be ready to become extremely responsible because after freshman year - you have to pay bills.
CalBears.com: What was the best class you took?
JR: I would have to say Sociology 167. It was a class about the internet and it is a good class to take.
CalBears.com: What is your favorite place to eat or go in Berkeley?
JR: Tako Sushi, Gordo's and I.B.'s Hoagies
CalBears.com: What memories or games stick out in your mind from your time in the Blue & Gold?
JR: I would definitely say going to the World Series last year because it was an amazing feeling. I didn't realize I was actually at the World Series till I put on my uniform.
CalBears.com: What does it mean to be a part of Cal softball?
JR: I feel proud to be able to represent the Cal softball team. Cal softball is a team to watch out for. Every year that I have been with this program, it just gets better and better. The coaching staff is there when you need them. I'm just proud to be a Bear. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yesterday evening, Millennium Elephant kindly organised* the fourth in a series of Sticky-Buns-and-Awfully-Important-Liberal-Democrats meetings for the bloggers. Answering the questions and eating the doughnuts this time, the unstoppable Dr Vincent Cable.
It has been well rehearsed elsewhere what a thoroughly shiny time of it our Acting Leader is having (so much so that the People's Republic was moved to express formal congratulations). The mood was naturally upbeat; he is rather enjoying himself. I liked his frankness – if he thought we were talking rubbish, he said so – and the lightly-worn gravity, if such a thing is possible. It struck me that much of his success over the past weeks may be down to this; that once you have a reputation for being thoughtful, steadfast and measuring your words, you can be both as flippant and as blunt as you damn well please and not fall prey to the same accusations of lightweightness that might attend a Cameron, for example.
He ate sticky buns with us for a good forty-five minutes (saving a couple of mad dashes down to the House for divisions) and for once I am going to eschew literary conceit, and go down the boring narrative route of setting out What Happened and When. So feel free to skim-read whole paragraphs that do not interest you without really taking them in, as opposed to normal when YOU MUST READ AND REGISTER EVERY WORD OR RISK THE REPUBLIC'S DISPLEASURE. And we will know, oh yes.
The Joy of Tax
The Quaequam Imperial envoy opened with one of his pet subjects and Vince's. Given that a cross-party consensus has developed on inheritance tax, shouldn't we mounting more of a challenge and propose a radical restructure of the tax in line with our essential principle of fairness? Our core liberal beliefs set us against inherited wealth. Why are we colluding in the system by simply raising the threshold? Tax fans will recall that the motion passed at conference was to raise the threshold to £500,000. Aggravated theft fans will recall that this sparked off a bidding war of thresholds in the other two parties in which the Tories carried off the prize (where prize is defined as "double-spread in the Daily Mail". Which apparently it is.)
Vince's answer seemed to me to sum up many of the best and worst things about Lib Dem policy-making. He pointed out correctly that the practical upshot, in the current housing market, will be to free a large category of ornery suburban semi-detached family houses from a tax originally meant for "estates" in the old Victorian sense of the word. A moderate threshold raise would have an enormous impact on many perfectly ordinary working (generally southern) urban people who live on earned income rather than asset income, whose most valuable asset by far is their house, and who never dream (if that is the right word) that they might need an accountant until somebody pops their clogs and the IHT assessment falls onto the doormat. Quite true – my parents are a case in point (they do know, of course, but only because of little me).
Moreover, the threshold raise has to be considered alongside the extension of the Potentially Exempt Transfer (IHT-free gifts made in your lifetime) period from seven to 15 years. I thought this a weaker point as people who have a lot of money and a tax accountant generally have no more difficulty in thinking 15 years ahead than they do seven years ahead. Bastards. Although it would lengthen the odds in HMRC's favour in a rather dark way.
Anyway, Vince's analysis of who the changed threshold would affect and how is unchallengeable; the threshold has been thoughtfully set to skim clean over the chimney pots of the suburbs but still hit all the more valuable concentrations of assets there and elsewhere; anyone who asks us to prove that our IHT policy does not favour "the rich" will not find us wanting.
But for as long as we hesitate to make that unthinkable assault on inherited wealth, IHT will continue to be one of the few areas of our tax policy from which balls-out liberalism is conspicuously absent. Unfortunately for us, it's also one of the few areas of tax policy to get widely discussed in the media. It's just not a good showcase for us. For that reason alone, James' question requires a broader answer, less nuanced and less grounded in practicalities.
Alas, poor Gordon, I knew him well (actually, not that well)
Paul Walter asked for Vince's assessment of Gordon Brown's "fatal flaw", as an old friend. Interestingly, Vince knocked this one on the head. Friends is putting it strongly, and he hasn't used that line himself. He described how they had their first contact in Scotland in the 1970s, when he, a Glasgow councillor, was invited to contribute to the precocious Edinburgh activist Brown's Red Papers pamphlet. All of which was appealingly and poignantly Our Friends in the Northish and reminded me that there is no substitute for actually listening to politicians tell you unaffectedly how things evolved to be as they are – a lost art.
If Gordon has a single failing that can explain his current misfortunes, it is in Vince's opinion intellectual and not psychological – he is simply far too enamoured of statism, convinced against mounting evidence of the power of Great Big Government to transform lives. Vince also spoke of the difficulties of taking up the leadership of a government that had already run out much of its credit with the public. I think there is a lot of truth in this – the mood music, however quietly, was against Gordon from the beginning.
That Mr Bean touch
Jonathan Calder asked Vince to analyse his roaring success at PMQs – are we just lucky with the topics that have come up, or does the Acting Leader have a secret? Vince diplomatically acknowledged the part played by both. Yes, Northern Rock fell very obviously within his competence, but his performances are also the result of many years' practice in asking the telling questions, and the need to ramp up the party profile while the leadership contest has been going on.
The way he spoke so lightly of this need makes it sound easy. Every clear programme for action looks easy once it has been achieved. Deserved panegyrics aside, the substance of what he has done bears repeating; he decided what his role as Acting Leader should be, and then went and bloody well performed it. It was quite obvious that he has relished going on the attack, and it made me think again of Olly Grender's comment, Perhaps all leaders should be encouraged to think they are temporary…
I'm going to play havoc with time here (you can do that when you have your own Republic) and bring forward Jonny Wright's question because it is germane to the above. In being the star of PMQs and meriting a mention on all outlets from CBBC Newsround to Popbitch, is Vince not just buying in to the same media circus that did for Ming? Vince drew out a distinction between characterising someone's behaviour in office in a mocking way, and mocking their actual characteristics. Comparing Gordon Brown to Mr Bean is a different matter from a cartoon Ming on a zimmer frame (why is Mr Bean a much worse insult than Stalin, by the way? Seems to me to be something wrong there). As to the broader charge of playing to the media, Vince emphasised that, contrary to how it might appear, they are not the enemy. Like it or not, there is a symbiotic relationship that is not going to go away.
It takes two
To tweak time back into its rightful order, Alex Wilcock's question concerned the role of the Deputy Leader. Given its increased prominence over the shenanigans of the last two years, isn't it time the Deputy Leadership became an elected post? And, as a rider to that, was it time for the role to assume a less nebulous outline and become a more visible presence alongside the leader? And furthermore (gosh, what a big question!) would Vince prefer to keep the Shadow Chancellorship or the Deputy Leadership?
Much of this, and the answer, is grounded in detailed insider knowledge of the party's workings of which I have no wot, and I will leave analysis to others, but briefly Vince said that there were already a number of these oversight roles in the party, dealing with a broad range of policy issues and making themselves available to media comment – it wasn't clear that there was a need for another. The main purpose of a Deputy Leader (I said I wouldn't analyse, but here I rather thought he was stating how things were, rather than envisioning how they could be) is to be an insurance policy in the event of, er, something dreadful happening very much like the dreadful things that have in fact happened.
In any case, our main problem is, ever and always, the media profile of the leader – never mind setting up a more publicly defined number two alongside him to worry about. Vince's view was that it would be a pedantic move, in a party whose internal processes are already far more democratic than the others, to make the Deputy subject to internal election. The specific quality required for the job is the ability to keep the machine ticking over and deal with PMQs at (probably) a time of internal crisis – not to formulate policy and long-term vision. The MPs contingent is far better placed to make a judgement about specifically this quality.
Fight and flight
I asked about the Heathrow expansion, partly because Vince's constituency is under the flight path and he has been heavily involved in campaigning against it, but also because how this particular fight pans out will be an indicator of things to come. The three-month consultation has just opened and looks like being a stitch-up; Gordon Brown has left us in no doubt as to what he would like the answer to be. In the tired old deadlock between big business and environmentalism, the current government will always favour big business, and in future we may see the same battles being lost over nuclear power. How can we break that deadlock?
Vince reconfigured my identification of deadlock. In past conflicts, the argument was always between NIMBYism and the ill-defined national interest. His view is that the current face-off, between national interest and a powerful environmental lobby, is a new and potentially more meaningful clash. I'm not altogether in agreement that said powerful environmental lobby is new, and there are already any number of cases in which it hasn't prevailed. But I do take his point that this has the potential to be a rather bigger issue than this- or-that industrial waste permit or road-widening scheme. It will be a national talking point and the course of events within parliament will reflect that. A well-organised group of MPs or failing that a bodyblow from the Lords could scupper the planning legislation changes required. He is also more optimistic privately than he has been officially that the outcome of the consultation paper may tell against the government.
This overview reminded me of how atypical my views and the views of pretty much everyone I know really are. Just because I have seen every local by-pass scrap for the last decade in terms of a titanic struggle between the environment and the economy, doesn't mean the vast majority of the population and its newspapers of choice have also arrived at that view. Vince's view was essentially that the Heathrow expansion could see that leap being made. I do hope so.
Northern Royale
We didn't have a specific Northern Rock question, but Linda Jack's question about what the government could be doing better to tackle personal debt reflected on it – are there systemic issues that could be tackled which would have a knock-on effect on easing the country's personal indebtedness, hem hem? This is another of Vince's pet issues and he mentioned a couple of reports which I have mentally put into the "More reading required" attic in my head (it's getting pretty crowded in there; we've had to adopt the Dewey decimal system). The government is now starting to perform as regards debt education, albeit nearly a decade too late. I know from my own experience in the Citizens Advice Bureaux that debt charities have had to carry the can during the intervening period; typically rather than deciding to fund these charities properly and broadening the availability of the specialisms they have developed, Labour are now taking it upon themselves to be the saviour of the terminally spendthrift. Imagine my surprise.
Still, it is better than no action at all. But yes, of course there are systemic problems – one systemic problem in fact. 85% of personal debt relates to mortgages, and the problem of how banks treat mortgages is therefore key to solving the personal debt crisis. The purpose of banks is to act as utilities in the same way that water companies are. It should be a basic requirement that they provide a certain level of return to customers just as water companies undertake to provide water if nothing else (a sane level of customer service, for example). Instead they act, in Vince's view, like casinos, with the results we've seen pan out over the last month.
Jungle Vince
Richard then asked about the aftermath of the leadership election; in the event that
Nick Clegg the leader gives the Treasury to Chris Huhne someone else, what job would Vince most like to do and why? Of course, we were not expecting him to set out an impassioned bid for any portfolio; nonetheless the manner in which his answer led on flexibility and versatility seemed very natural. He has a lot of experience in a number of different fields and is quite happy to knuckle down to whatever he's given. Of course, there is a certain logic in his staying at the Treasury because of the credibility he has built up there, but he would be as happy on many other portfolios, or even in a "jungle role" (I presume this is Westminster-speak for roving brief with attack specialism, rather in the manner of a guerrilla fighter; a splendid image – I did wonder about the khaki face paint stripes at the time, but no-one else mentioned it so I didn't). Good answer. I bet he's good to work with.
The elephant in the room
No, not that one. The OTHER and CONSIDERABLY LESS FLUFFY elephant in the room was of course the leadership contest. Linda Jack has already performed a neat twostep on this. But the People's Republic is willing to speculate wildly on the real answer.
When reflecting on his own role in raising the profile of the party, Vince said of the new leader that it was vital he maintain this public momentum by being "fast out of the traps", by seizing the initiative, being seen to do or say something every day. Paul Walter has unsurprisingly picked up that this is basically a description of Chris [ed: or so I thought – please see his comment below]. Does this mean that Vince is backing Chris, or that he is a Clegghead worrying out loud about Nick's ability to perform in the same way, much as James Graham has been this morning? My money is that his money is on Chris. As for my own money, that is altogether another matter.
That took us once around the room, and as some of you now appear to be in advanced states of putrefaction (which is not a good attribute in a reader, I find) I will leave off here for now, and return to some of the other points we drew out later. You've really been ever so brave.
Thanks again to Richard for organising the session. The idea, I think, can only go from strength to strength. It's a chance for us bloggers to try out the pet theories we evolve in the lonely halls of cyberspace on the Awfully Important People at the heart of it all, and a chance for the Awfully Important People to connect with the grass roots through a friendly audience which has some reach (in fact quite considerable reach on those days when I make any reference to rude and amusing bodily functions).
* In spirit, that is. After the infamous debacle of the non-submission of Millennium's leadership nomination papers following intractable difficulties with a fluffy foot and a pen, his daddies are organising everything for him.

NEW DELHI: The losses sustained by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance in the assembly polls could imperil the country's fiscal deficit target if the government is prompted to relax its restraint on spending in order to curry popular favour ahead of next year's general election, Fitch Ratings cautioned.
Finance minister P Chidambaram has repeatedly said that this year's fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of gross domestic product is a "red line" that will not be breached, but the government will need to compress spending significantly to deliver on the promise. "This commitment may be tested further as the deficit-reduction goals are stretched, and a steeper political struggle to pull in more votes may hinder the full scope of expenditure restraint," Fitch Ratings said in a release on Tuesday.

It's A Small World After All
I spent the bulk of my finishing career in the mailing and commercial bindery environment. I never had the chance to spend a lot of time in the traditional hard-cover bookbinder's world. My first exposure was in listening to Professor (now Emeritus) Werner Rebsamen at the Annual Research and Engineering Council Of The Graphic Arts. He was (and still is) our "go-to" guy for all things hard cover. Werner spent most of his life in the bookbinding trade, and has literally traveled the world assisting printers (and governments) solve their bindery problems.
Hard-cover bookbinding is a craft that has a history measured in centuries, and one of my discoveries was how small the specialty machinery world in hard cover actually was. Coming from commercial bindery, I'm familiar with many different (world-wide) manufacturers of buckle folders, saddle-stitchers, perfect binders, and more. By contrast, how many companies make edge-gliding machines? (One, as far as I can tell). How about head-and-tail banding? Ribbon inserting? Antiquing of cases? Gold embossing and foil stamping machines?
Don't get me wrong. Both Muller Martini and Kolbus sell highly automated (and costly) hard-cover production lines that can be configured with a lot of these features as add-ons. But there are also a small number of vendors who specialize in more esoteric hard-cover finishing operations. I've met many of them at the semi-annual Hard Cover and Library Binding Institute meetings. They service a market which many commercial bindery folks are not well aware of, the library re-binders, specialty binders, religious publishers, memory books, and others. This segment has been hit by the growth of e-books and cuts in funding for many libraries. But these vendors know their market and customers well, and they rapidly adapt to any changes or machine feature requests that they come across. They will survive for quite some time.

Storm star Sue Bird had surgery Tuesday on her right hip. She is expected to be playing again by December and plans to return to Seattle for an 11th season with the Storm next summer.
Storm All-Star Sue Bird underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a labrum tear in her right hip. The procedure was handled by Dr. Marc Philippon, the same surgeon who handled teammate Lauren Jackson's left hip surgery in June.
But unlike Jackson, who missed 20 games to rehabilitate from surgery, Bird's injury is from wear and tear. She was diagnosed with a slight tear in her left hip in November 2010 and told surgery wasn't a necessity.
Philippon examined both and suggested surgery for the right.
Bird scheduled the surgery in Vail, Colo., after the Storm's first-round exit from the WNBA playoffs. Philippon said Bird is expected to be fully rehabilitated by mid-December.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit

"It's kind of always bugged me," Bird told The Times on Friday. "But I've never had the chance to go get it looked at. It's all about timing and risk vs. reward. Now that I have the time, I want to make the most out of it."
Health is especially important for Bird, 30, this offseason. She signed with a new club in Russia, will compete in the London Olympics and is expected to return to the Storm for an 11th season in 2012.
Bird, who averaged 33.7 minutes in 34 WNBA regular-season games, begins play overseas in January.
"The risk part is not doing anything about it and it getting worse to a point of where I can't play," said Bird, a 5-foot-9 guard. "I'm sure people probably see the game against Phoenix (Sept. 19) and then two days later read this and they go, 'Wait, what? She was just playing.' It is something you can play on. You just have to learn to deal with the pain and manage it. It's more a mobility thing in my case."
Bird led the Storm in scoring (14.7) and assists (4.9). She was fourth in MVP voting and named a co-winner of the league's Sportsmanship award.
Bird is an unrestricted free agent, but she and the organization expect her to return next summer.
"I know in the long run it's better for me," said Bird, who told The Times both hips couldn't be repaired simultaneously. "I'm fortunate to have my fall off, and I have to use that time to make it work for me."
Seattle Times assistant sports editor Jon Fisch contributed to this article.

Hampel Kids
After our first trip to Colombia, we had a large collection of photos (and some videos) we wanted to share with family and friends.
However, I was conscious of the fact that I didn't really want all of these photos made public, especially some of the photos from the Pension Stein which showed kids of other families. I didn't think it was appropriate to publish them on a public site without their permission.
So, I decided to create a new website just for photos and videos of Andres – kind of a photo blog. For want of a better name, I chose andreshampel.com for the website domain.
I made the entire site password protected and then just shared the username and password with family and close friends so that they can follow the activities and exploits of Andres while he grows up.
Always at the back of my mind though, was the question of what to do if and when we adopt a second child. Obviously andreshampel.com was not going to work.
The question was – do I run a second blog for the next child? What about photos of both children – do I include them in one or the other, in both, or in a third blog for both kids?
I delayed this decision off for as long as I could – but with our second trip to Colombia looming, I couldn't put it off any longer.
I finally decided that the most sensible thing to do would be to set up a new site as a combined photo blog for both kids. I would migrate Andres's blog across and redirect the domain so that old links, photos and videos all still worked.
The name was the only thing left to decide on, and after much deliberation and a few false-starts, I finally settled on the rather uninspiring hampelkids.com
So I've completed the migration and the new site (including all of the old material from Andres's blog) is back online.
I won't publish the username and password here. If you would like to know it, contact me via email or on Facebook or Twitter.
Now, I just have to catch up with the backlog of photos and videos since I last updated Andres's blog – about 11 months ago!
Blog catch-up
I've been pretty slack over the past few months with keeping my blog updated. I do tend to micro-blog in twitter quite a bit (see link and info in sidebar on the right), but that's just quick updates on what I'm doing rather than lengthy discussions about topics.
I have taken quite a lot of photos in the past 6 months, with several trips to the zoo and visits to national parks and other local parks.
I've gone back and posted quick updates on things that I was intending to write about and also added photos for outings where I took the camera.
Here's a quick index on what I've posted recently:
- Melbourne 2008:
- Melbourne – Day 3: Healesville Sanctuary (Sep 26)
- Melbourne – Day 4: Melbourne Zoo (Sep 27)
- Melbourne – Day 5: Melbourne Aquarium and CBD (Sep 28)

Grey Butcherbird Family
I went out to the kitchen to fill up my waterbottle and saw a family of Great Butcherbirds on the clothes line out the back. The young bird was squawking away demanding food, while one of the adults sat on the corner of the clothes line, looking at our Lemon tree intently. Suddenly, the adult flew up, grabbed a bug off the tree and came back to the clothes line, where it proceeded to feed the bug to the young bird. Fortunately the camera was nearby and I was able to open up the kitchen window and take a few shots of them.
New Lens for my Camera
Christmas has come early (kind of) – I got a new Canon 100-400 EF f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens for Christmas and it was delivered today. I'm allowed to test it out to make sure it all works okay, then it will get wrapped up and will sit under the tree until Christmas day.
Below are some of my test photos showing my different lenses – I set up the tripod in the back yard and took a photo of an empty juice bottle over near the shed to show the differences in magnification. I've listed the photos in order of increased magnification, and included the 35mm equivalent lens lengths.
The Canon EOS 40D is a 10.1 megapixel camera which sees a 1.6x field of view crop for lenses, meaning a 50mm lens actually gives you an effective equivalent of putting an 80mm lens on a full frame (35mm) sensor camera (like the EOS 5D). Thus the 100mm – 400mm gives an equivalent range of 160mm – 640mm.
The A650 mentioned below is the Canon PowerShot A650 camera, a 12mp compact digital camera. I run it in 8mp mode since I don't see the point in having a relatively cheap compact digital camera creating image files that are larger (in pixel count) than my expensive DSLR!
For that last image – on the original photo at full resolution I can quite clearly read the fine print on the bottle label!
I also took the camera + lens for a short walk around Munro park for some real-life tests. This is a heavy lens, so it is going to take a bit of getting used to. My arms were aching from lifting it up to take photos – but I'm sure with a bit more practice, I'll develop the necessary arm muscles to make it much easier to use.
Here are a couple of photos I took with the new lens (none of them have been cropped):

YUMMY! I made the cake with the icing recipe given. It is light and delicious. I almost overcooked the cake since the cake only needed about 35 minutes in my oven. Thanks!
This is one of the easiest cakes I've ever made! Very quick to prepare and to cook (about 30 mins) and it had a light texture. The mixed fruit was beautifully moist, though next time I think I'll add extra fruit ( a personal taste) though I don't think that it will need any extra juice. I topped it with whipped cream, delicious! Thanks for giving me such a beautiful recipe!
This is an excellent recipe. My Mother made it all the time when I was growing up. Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing is the frosting that my Mom always used. Maybe next time I will try the one given with the cake recipe. My grandchildren like the cake very much and want it again soon.
My cake turned out overcooked and my frosting melted and separated. Didn't work for me. Sorry.
No taste! Easy to make, and looks wonderful, but really...no taste! I used an egg-white frosting, but the cake itself could use a little flavor.
I made this for a 4th of July barbeque last year and it was incredible. I am making it again for a barbeque this weekend, but I am going to add a little more mandarin oranges to the icing!
We had this at RedWonder's BBQ and it was wonderful! Not too sweet and the frosting was a flavorful addition.
This was great, and I would definitely recommend using the frosting recipe. I could've eaten that alone as dessert! I baked mine for 40 min and it was a bit overdone. Next time I will check it at 30 and keep a closer eye on it. A great dessert for a barbeque! Thanks for posting!
For fluffier cake, try mixing all the dry ingrdients first, then all the liquids EXCEPT drain the can of fruit cocktail first, then add fruit after ingredients mixed with blender for 5 minutes!!! Cake tastes so much beeter and consistency is excellent!!!

Tag Heuer Watches Monaco Calibre 11 Takes an Old Design and Makes it Better
In the 1970's when the original Monaco was released, it was a big hit, this year's revision is no exception. The new and improved Silver Monaco is the latest chronograph released by Tag Heuer featuring Calibre 11 movement and the iconic left-sided crown design. The history of this design goes back to 1969 when the original 1133B Monaco was released; it was driven by Heuer's Chronomatic Calibre 11 movement. It was a little ahead of its time, but thanks to Steve McQueen and renewed interest in the 1990's release, the Monaco was brought back in 1997 and today is the most iconic design in the Tag Heuer line.
In 2009 the first Calibre 11 Monaco was released on the Blue 40th Anniversary, a tribute to the original 1133B. The case shape was made a little different while the design of the dial and the hands remained minimally changed. The Calibre 11 movement, used in this release of the Monaco was first developed for the Autavia re-launch in 2003. Last year the gray edition of the Monaco was released but this year the 39mm case in light blue PVD coating was the initial release. The PVD coating was eliminated prior to production release and it now is replaced with a stainless steel finish. The 2011 version has luminescent coated dots done in orange at each hour.
The watch is striking; the silver dial and the dark charcoal sub-dials give the watch a lot of character. The hour and minute hands have black tips with an inset or luminescence done in the same orange color as the hour dots. The new case has thicker lugs giving it a more substantial presence. The sapphire crystal replaces the original plexi, giving the case a thicker profile and a lot of class. The movement is ETA 2892/2 base with a Dubois Depraz chronograph. It has a decorated rotor and a bold Tag Heuer logo. The timepiece is due to be released in the third quarter of 2011.
In 1969 Tag Heuer shook up the watch world with the first square case chronograph when they released the Monaco. To this day, the lines of this model are astonishingly beautiful. It has remained an icon in the Tag Heuer watches line to this day. The original had to have the crown repositioned on the left side due to packaging issues; today it is there because it is a part of the design aesthetic. This new edition is bound to become as popular as the 1133B Monaco was when it first appeared on the scene, except now we are ready for it.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5
The new Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 by TAG Heuer is a luxury watch inspired by deep sea diving. The watch comes in many different versions including a black, silver or blue dial with vertical streak effect.
Each of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500 M Calibre 5 luxury watches come with hand applied indexes, a orange second hand, luminescent markers and indexes, a date window at the 9 o'clock marker and hand applied TAG Heuer logo.
The case of this new TAG Heuer luxury watch has a fine brushed steel case with fine brushed edges, unidirectional turning bezel, screwed in crown with rubber coating, scratch resistant sapphire crystal, automatic helium valve at the 10 o'clock marker, and 500 meters of water resistance.
Additionally, the bracelet comes in many different stunning options including a steel bracelet or black rubber strap.

Besides the ad campaigns Baselworld 2009 released the above TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS@ Caliper Chronograph Ti2 (definitely a mouth full).
This new TAG Heuer luxury watch is seen above on Leonardo DiCaprio and has a 43mmm 2 Titanium case, polished bezel, oversized crown, caliper rotating scale, black rubber bracelet with titanium folding clasp, and 100 meters of water resistance.

TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5
We love this watch! It add a very traditional spin to a masculine TAG Heuer watch. The TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5 Men's Watch has some features that cannot be denied.
The first is the amazing day window at the 12 o'clock marker that fully spells out and displays the day of the week. Underneath the day window is a TAG Heuer luxury watch Link logo right above the watch hands. Lastly, a date window sits right above the 6 o'clock marker.
A little history also says a lot about this watch. The TAG Heuer Link was created in 1987 and re-launched in 1999 and was a favorite of Ayrton Senna (above) in 1990. Ayrton Senna da Silva was a Brazilian race car driver and Formula One champion who was killed while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

TAG Heuer Releases New Ladies Pink Sports Watch
TAG Heuer recently announced that it would be releasing a massive number of new models this year, and the rumors are flowing. According to Economic Times, TAG Heuer recently unveiled a professional pink sports watch made of ultra light titanium and steel in India.

Tonight on Ch4 there is a documentray – proud to be prejudiced. It is looking at Muslim extremists and the EDL – and has politicians from Luton voicing their opinions.
I will be watching it in my EDL polo shirt.
I am proud to be prejudiced – I am prejudiced against muslim invaders who want to impose their customs, laws, food, religion and race upon ours.
I am prejudiced against muslim pedophile gangs who gang rape our under age girls.
I am prejudiced against muslim gangs who attack our young and old kin.
I am prejudiced against the ethnic cleansing of our people from England.
And to the politicans and liberals I ask – where were you when our soldiers (who you sent to war) were being abused, our children were being raped (we hear many cases where abuse was ignored by the Police), and where were you when we asked for justice (holding racism in football summits).
If it was not for the EDL the rape of these girls would be ignored, and the perpertrators would continue.

Got a week of free time and all the gear but I really don't want all the faff of packing, flying, prepping then pacing myself to get within airport range after only a couple of days riding. Just thinking about the logistics was making me jaded. I normally try to fit in at least 10 days of riding on a tour with flights, this would be 4-5 at the most.
Looking around at alternatives, I did a mini cycle tour of my county this summer but I've always fancied a canoe tour on our local national park (Norfolk Broads) . A company hires out canoes and has some campsites on local waterways (a large national park of lakes, marshes and rivers). There are few waterside campsites and stealth camping is very tricky (+ illegal + daily ranger patrols).
I'm really looking forward to spending a few days on the water in a canoe.
Does anyone else put their bike away on occasion and try something different?

This is it! The final tour diary from the lovely and amazing 3OH!3. And babies, let me tell you, it sure does deliver. This time around, Nat and Sean are checking in from Panama City Beach, Florida, where they were a major factor in the insanity that is MTV Spring Break 2009. Dive right in (they did!) to your last weekend of 3OH!3, in which they stay up all night, declare their love for men, toss their cookies, and crash their Jet Skis. Must be Spring Break!
PANAMA CITY BEACH your lovely shores are stocked full of hot bodies and no reservations. We were just in Cancun and it was pretty g*ddamn epic, so we were trying to top it here.
We met up with our boy Benny Blanco at the airport in Atlanta on the way — he came down from NYC to hang out and DJ for us. If you don't know, Benny is the illest beatmaker and producer in the world right now. His s**t is insane. He's done Britney, Spank Rock, B.o.B. and I co-produced "Don't Trust Me" with him. We are in love with him. He's in love with us. It's one of those things. Don't judge.
We got into the hotel and worked on the set until we couldn't keep our eyes open any more.
Wake-up call. We went to the beach to record a bunch of interviews for the different MTV networks. We said some dumb s**t probably, maybe some smart s**t intermingled in there. Probably mostly dumb s**t. Over to the beach to check out the stage and soundcheck. It was a rad setup — mad people already and they were going off for our sound check. I threw cookies out to the crowd for some reason. People seemed stoked.
We started the show and s**t went OFF!!! There were something like 6-7,000 people on a BEACH… in FLORIDA… under the SUN… with all sorts of cameras and loud speakers. It was so much fun out there. We went crowd-surfing with our little pink and blue inner-tubes. Benny killed the set.
We got done and went straight to renting Jet Skis. Good idea. We crashed going like 45.
MTV SPRING BREAK — I love spring break now. So much. Man, that was a fun day…
+ See it all for yourself, tonight at 8pm ET, on FN Spring Break Rules!

Just a quick heads up that tomorrow we're doing a server switch, and any emails that are sent while that's happening probably won't get to me. But Sunday I should be all set to get emails again. Other than that, my weekend will include breakfast with Leila, catching up with my favorite blogs, meeting with our stationer to talk about invites (!), and enjoying some outdoor time with my honey. I think one of my favorite things about the summer is that there's no need to make big plans – a simple, relaxing weekend is just fine.

VE is slow at selecting templates and transclusions in big pages.
For example: [[World War II]]:
- attempt to select infobox by clicking on it: takes ~3 seconds in Firefox 21 and Chrome 27, with no visual indication that anything is happening during the wait
- attempt to select the reflist by clicking on it: just hangs in Firefox and Chrome, never actually seems to happen
This either needs to be sped up, or fail more gracefully.
In IE10, this is not such a problem \o/ - lag is actually less, and the reflist can be selected (takes about 22 seconds).
