One of the things I tend to skirt around covering here at Branded is the crop of modern films and cartoons that very heavily influenced by the 80s, either in setting or just straight up homage. There are a bunch of cool flicks and TV shows that fall into this category, stuff like Netflix's recent Stranger Things, JJ Abrams' Super 8, or the handful of 80s era cartoon re-launches (including Danger Mouse and Voltron.) I've been enjoying a lot of this stuff, but I usually take a pass on covering it here since there are a ton of other websites doing a much better job of taking a look at that stuff. That being said, there is a modern movie that I wanted to touch on, one that I've found myself watching and re-watching on an almost monthly basis, Michael Tully's 2014 throwback comedy Ping Pong Summer…
The flick centers on the Miracle family as they embark on their yearly summer vacation in Ocean City, Maryland. Specifically the film follows the young Rad Miracle, a kid who enjoys rocking out to the funky beat of the Fat Boys, Mantronix, and RUN DMC, breaking in his cherished pair of red parachute pants, and playing ping pong. While at the beach Rad runs into his new best friend Teddy Fryy (spelt with two Ys), an awkward kid who loves to rap, falls for the town hottie Stacey Summers, and gets into a beef with a local bullies Lyle and Dale, all culminating in an epic battle that can only be decided with a devastating match of ping pong.
I came to this movie through my fiancée a couple of years ago when we were still living in separate parts of the country. Jaime grew up in the Baltimore area and spent years going to the boardwalk in Ocean City, so when she found out that there was a movie set in that era she had to see it opening weekend. This movie just clicked for both of us. For Jaime, Tully managed to capture a story on film that felt amazingly authentic to her experience growing up, and aside from experiencing that through her vicariously, I fell hard for the visual style, an amazing soundtrack, the humor and some pretty obscure references to some of my favorite cult films including Troll 2, Rad, and No Retreat, No Surrender. I also loved the casting of the flick, not only for the group of unknown kids that killed it in the flick, but also for really fun turns from some 80s mainstays like Lea Thompson and Susan Sarandon. I could go on and on about how much I love this flick, and if you really want to get deeper into my thoughts on the flick you can check out episode 26 of the Cult Film Club podcast where Jaime, my bud Paxton Holley of the Cavalcade of Awesome and I spend and hour and change gushing about how much we dig this flick.
I've had the opportunity to chat with the writer/director of the film, Michael Tully, who is a very awesome dude with great taste in film and a great sense of humor. It's kind of a bummer that ultimately, Ping Pong Summer didn't crush at the box office because the film is great, and it's quickly becoming one of those cult films that gets better and better with each viewing. Recently I was joking on twitter with a few friends and Tully about movie novelizations and how I feel like it's a bummer that we live in an age when films aren't routinely adapted into books anymore. I mentioned that I'd love to read a novelization of Ping Pong Summer and Tully took that and ran with it even giving me what he would have wanted as the first line of the book.
Well, I always love an opportunity to practice my skills in Photoshop, so I sat down last night and designed a vintage-style Point/Scholastic book cover for the novelization of the flick, and I even wrote the first two pages of the book to boot. These are the pinnacle of what I think this These Should Exist column was created for…
I hope Michael Tully digs this little exercise as I had a lot of fun working on it. Hell, part of me wants to sit down and finish writing the book! Maybe someday. Until then, this is as good a way as I know to start closing out the summer. If you haven't seen the flick I whole heartedly suggest seeking it out. It's in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite, with a dash of the Karate Kid, and a whole lot of beach-y awesome fun.

Sourcing For Services, Inc. http://www.sourcingforservices.com Will consider using "SFS"
Sourcing For Services, Inc is a services procurement outsource provider. It is kind of like a call center handling customer service calls or sales calls, but instead we handle sourcing requests for professional services (ie IT and Management Consultants, HR outsourcing, Legal, CPAs, etc). Sourcing projects take several weeks to develop and roll out. Building trust with our clients is very important. We also offer our clients cost savings for the sourcing effort as well as savings for the service being requested.
The tag line I like/want to use if possible is "Strategic sourcing for professional services" - please incorporate if/where appropriate.
We have two general audiences: first, any business owner or exec of mid-size company that has a need to hire a service provider (ie consultant) and thinks it will cost $25k-50k or more; second, larger corporations who spend a lot on services/consulting and have a high transactional volume of sourcing needs. The first is probably not very well versed in procurement, but the second is very well versed in procurement terms and practices.
SFS is the only firm (we know of) providing only 'services' procurement - our competitors provide full line of procurement services. So we are a niche player and seek marketing position as such.
We are looking for a logo that will be used in the following uses:
-business cards, website, invoices, letter head
Hoping that designer of winning logo will help with more look and feel on web site (beyond this logo design).
Logo Brief:

- will consider one or two versions for logo:
1. using full name of "Sourcing For Services" or
2. using acronym "SFS"
-Please consider including our tag line if possible "Strategic sourcing for professional services"
-simple is fine
-The lettering can be layered
-Letters don't necessarily have to be capitalized
-Ok to use 2-3 colors, but want it to go well against white background
-Please avoid yellow and black colors
-Like idea of using people (figures), business setting, or corporate imaging in logo, but that is just an initial thought

For at least one automaker, the gloves will come off early during Sunday's telecast of the Super Bowl.
GM's Chevrolet division plans to get more than a little dig in at long-time rival Ford with a 60-second apocalyptic-themed Super Bowl spot scheduled to air in the first quarter.
Its the latest in a string of colorful barbs tossed between the two cross-town automakers and their executives.
The ad opens in a decimated city and pans to a newspaper headline blowing in the wind. The headline screams: 2012 Mayan Apocalypse: Will the World End Today?
An engine suddenly roars to life and a dusty Silverado pickup pokes through the rubble and starts traversing the city. Is that a decimated Chrysler building amid the scorched landscape?
The driver and his dog finally meet up with four friends and their Silverados. But the driver wonders where their friend Dave is.
Didn't make it. It turns out he drove a Ford.
The Ford F series pickup may be the top-selling vehicle in America, but in GM's version of doomsday, only Barry Manilow, Twinkies, frogs, Silverados and their drivers survive.

dm-crypt (简体中文)
This article focuses on how to set up encryption on Arch Linux using dm-crypt, which is the standard device-mapper encryption functionality provided by the Linux kernel.
Common scenarios
This section introduces common scenarios to employ dm-crypt to encrypt a system or individual filesystem mount points. The scenarios cross-link to the other subpages where needed. It is meant as starting point to familiarize with different practical encryption procedures.
See Dm-crypt/Encrypting a non-root file system if you need to encrypt a device that is not used for booting a system, like a partition or a loop device.
See Dm-crypt/Encrypting an entire system if you want to encrypt an entire system, in particular a root partition. Several scenarios are covered, including the use of dm-crypt with the LUKS extension, plain mode encryption and encryption and LVM.
Drive preparation
This step will deal with operations like securely erasing the drive and partitioning it.
See Dm-crypt/Drive preparation.
Device encryption
This section covers how to manually utilize dm-crypt to encrypt a system through the cryptsetup command, also dealing with the usage of LUKS and keyfiles[broken link: invalid section].
See Dm-crypt/Device encryption.
System configuration
This page illustrates how to configure mkinitcpio, the boot loader and the crypttab file when encrypting a system.
See Dm-crypt/System configuration.
Swap device encryption
A swap partition may be added to an encrypted system, if required. The swap partition must be encrypted as well to protect any data swapped out by the system. This part details methods without and with suspend-to-disk support.
This part deals with special operations like securing the unencrypted boot partition, using GPG or OpenSSL encrypted keyfiles, a method to boot and unlock via the network, or setting up discard/TRIM for a SSD.

Chances are in coming days when you're reading about percussionist Alan Myers, who died Monday after a battle with brain cancer, the words "human metronome" will be used. Myers' drumming for punk band Devo came to define the band's off-kilter sound.
Musician Ralph Carney, who was friends with Myers, announced the death of the Devo drummer on his Facebook page: "Alan Myers passed yesterday from cancer. he was Devo's best drummer and one of the first people to teach me about jazz. i cry..."
To call Myers a human metronome, though, is to suggest a drummer focused on keeping a steady, consistent beat. Myers could do that and more, but his internal metronome contained secret compartments, switches that could drive odd time signatures, weird breakbeats, perfectly timed chaotic bursts.
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2013
Like one of his admitted inspirations, John "Drumbo" French of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, Myers understood rhythm so well that he worked as much silence and absence into his sound as he did crazy fills.
Myers was Devo's third drummer, joining in 1976 before the band released its Brian Eno-produced debut, "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" and remained in the band until the mid-'80s. He played on all the Akron, Ohio-born, Los Angeles-based Devo's most mind-bending material, including the deconstructed version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" that first propelled them onto the national stage, "Whip It" and "Girl U Want."
Isolate Myers' playing on "Satisfaction" and wonder on his focus: the circular time signature and the way it upends the entire notion of the original. On the tripped-out "Swelling Itching Brain," Myers goes virtually invisible, driving a minimalist, one-drum-at-a-time rhythm, sparse but effective.
Which isn't to say that Myers couldn't keep a groove. On the contrary, his rhythms were incredibly steady and true, as evidenced by the shocking drum performance below of "Gut Feeling" in 1977. Watch him hit with a neatness and restraint through the song, then watch him explode in the final minute. That's a drummer at work there, friends.
Drummer Josh Freese, who has performed with Devo on their recent tours and recordings, tweeted about Myers' influence: "RIP Alan Myers. 1 of my all time favs. An underrated/brilliant drummer. Such an honor playing his parts w/Devo. Godspeed Human Metronome."
And Gerald Casale, Devo co-founder, also remarked on Myers' passing (and couldn't help implying that others in Devo were responsible for his departure): "RE: Alan Myers. I begged him not to quit Devo. He could not tolerate being replaced by the Fairlight and autocratic machine music. I agreed."
Casale followed that tweet with a few others: "In praise of Alan Myers, the most incredible drummer I had the privilege to play with for 10 years. Losing him was like losing an arm. RIP!!"
He concluded: "Alan, you were the best - a human metronome and then some. A once in a lifetime find thanks to Bob Mothersbaugh. U were born to drum Devo!"

On December 10, 2005, a Sosoliso Airlines DC-9 aircraft crashed in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, killing 127 passengers. Sixty of those killed were students of Loyola Jesuit College in Abuja, Nigeria. This reflection was written shortly after the event.
We have suffered an enormous tragedy at Loyola Jesuit College: the death of 60 of our children in the plane crash on Dec. 10. Many of the parents and brothers and sisters of the children were at the airport hoping to welcome the children home for the Christmas holidays. Their pain must be doubled. Only one student survived, and she is receiving treatment in South Africa.
How does one react to this tragedy? Can one make any sense of it? Why might God (who did not cause this) allow this to happen? We search for answers even as we grieve. Along with many of the grieving families in Port Harcourt, I sense a powerful movement beginning. It is a movement from grief through determination to hope.
Hope Reborn in the Field of Dreams
On April 1, 1995, the ceremonial beginning of work on the foundation took place at the future site of Loyola Jesuit College in Abuja, Nigeria. There were no buildings, only the beginnings of roads, and construction equipment. As the Honorable Walter Carrington, U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, surveyed the terrain, he uttered powerful and prophetic words. Ambassador Carrington spoke of a "field of dreams," imagining what a wonderful educational institution would soon be in place. He was familiar with Jesuit education and knew that Loyola Jesuit College could become a center of excellence in secondary education.
The college is now in its 10th year. For the past three years it has posted the best results in national examinations taken in all schools in Nigeria. Its graduates are enrolled in universities in Nigeria and Ghana, the United Kingdom and in the United States. Several of these students have received scholarships.
In 1996, the opening year, fewer than 500 students took the entrance exam; 100 were accepted. In April 2005, over 2,300 took the entrance exam and 120 were accepted, on merit alone, students at the top of their classes in many of the best primary schools throughout Nigeria.
The World Beyond
And yet Ambassador Carrington expressed one major concern. He pondered what would happen when the students of Loyola Jesuit College left behind the beautiful campus. How would Nigeria receive them? What kind of world would they enter? "What happens,"he asked, "when they go beyond these confines? Will the society be nurturing and accepting of the values they learn here?" As he looked beyond the horizon of the future campus, he admitted that beyond the "field of dreams," the vision was much hazier.
Now we see what can happen when students leave our beautiful campus. The tragic crash is a terrifying answer to the questions of the U.S. ambassador. It is a terrible indictment of many aspects of life and systems in Nigeria. On that Saturday morning, the children were rejoicing. The term had ended. Christmas carols were sung the night before during a candlelight procession. The children would travel to be with their families for the Christmas holidays. But instead of a safe flight to Port Harcourt, their plane missed the runway, hit a culvert and scattered its precious human cargo over a distance of 1,000 meters. Over 100 passengers died, including 60 of our students.
This happened in one terrible part of the world of Nigeria to which these children returned. It is a world where an accurate weather report and better communications might well have warned the pilot not to land. It is a world where there may have been a mechanical failure on the plane. There may even have been pilot error. Airport lights and electricity might have better guided the pilot in his efforts to land. We are not sure, but something went terribly wrong.
The immediate reaction to the crash was another indicator of the trouble with the world which our children wished to enter. "No water, no water!" I heard several of the classmates of these deceased children say this publicly, at a gathering of families and students. "My classmates burned to death because there was no water!" No water—in Rivers State, where water is abundant—to extinguish the fire.
Emergency services were also slow to arrive. Many of the bodies of the children were not badly burnt. They were still in their red, yellow, green or blue uniforms, with little or no physical damage. Doctors say they died of suffocation. No ambulances arrived. It is reported that a truck was used to carry the bodies of the injured and the dead together. This might well have led to the avoidable death of some of those seriously injured. This is the world into which these children returned.
How prophetic were the words of Ambassador Carrington 10 years ago! Among the 60 students who died were some of the best and brightest. One planned to be an aeronautical engineer. One planned to be a doctor. Another first-year student wrote a beautiful poem to her mother three weeks earlier, explaining how difficult it was to get into the school, but now that she was there, it was a rose to her, it was paradise on earth.
Other students and teachers remarked that the students on the plane were among the best of their classes. And each of the 24 classes at the college suffered at least one death: one-tenth of the student body gone. One set of parents lost all three children, their only children. Another mother and father lost two children, whose bodies were never positively identified. Each of the children had a story to be told, but no longer a life in which to tell it.
Determination Leading to Hope
And yet! There is determination leading to hope. This was the major theme of the remarks of Ambassador Carrington at the foundation-laying ceremony. That day, he said, was "a wonderful day to see hope reborn." Determination leading to hope came through time and again as I tried to console the grieving parents I later visited in Port Harcourt.
They, in turn, reached out and tried to console me. They explained that while they had lost one, two or three children, I, as president of the school, and all the staff had lost 60. I saw unimaginably deep faith in those who suffered the loss of their children. I tried to tell the parents that they had done the best for their children, and that we at the school were also trying to do the best for them. But we all saw clearly that the systems, the aviation industry and the nation had let us down. The world into which the children returned was not safe—it could have been a road accident or armed robbers, but this time it was a plane crash.
What emerged was the conviction that this must not happen again. We owe it to the nation, and to these 60 innocent children, that this not happen again. These children cannot have died in vain. In those who suffered the loss of their children, and in all the Loyola Jesuit College parents, determination and hope were growing. We began to see that it is our responsibility. We, the living, must ensure this.
We believed that these children, in another 10 or 20 years, would have been the future leaders of the Nigeria we want and hope for. But this was not to be. We, the living, now have the responsibility to bring about what these children studied and died for: to be what all students in Jesuit schools throughout the world are called to be, "men and women for others."
I quickly began to see this determination and hope in the grieving parents, who reached out to other parents, trying to keep hope alive. One mother who lost two of her three children visited other families and attended several funerals. She led the prayers and singing while seven of the children were interred at a mass burial in the cemetery. One father, who lost his two children in the crash, was scheduled to be the main organizer of our annual sports day in a few months. He said he would still do it. Several parents explained that their younger children would study harder than ever to do well on the entrance exam to Loyola. A grieving mother who lost her daughter reached out at the end of the service and asked that a special collection be taken up to assist another student who is facing surgery.
We had already started planning for our school's 10th anniversary. In our visits to the bereaved, we continually received confirmation that our decision to situate the school at the center of Nigeria, at the new capital Abuja, was the right one. We wanted to draw students from all over Nigeria, students from all ethnic and all religious traditions to come together, to bond together, to show that all Nigerians can live, study and work together. This dream remains stronger than ever. Now we must assure that transportation systems allow our school to fulfill its dream and its mission.
We had planned to construct two additional buildings, one of which will most likely now be named Memorial Hall, to honor the memory of the 60 students. While these buildings are still needed, the real celebration of our 10th anniversary now must shift its focus to the building of a better, safer Nigeria. If the avoidable death of 60 of the best, of the future of Nigeria, does not touch the hearts of those in authority, then nothing will. Concerned mothers, including many parents of students, have begun protests in Lagos and Abuja, demanding changes in aviation, education and health care systems. Mothers dressed in black, mourning the loss of children, even had to endure tear gas on the streets of Lagos. In biblical terms, we see the death of these children as the sacrifice of the innocents, in order that new life, a new Nigeria might emerge.
It is not only the aviation sector that needs cleansing. It is all transportation systems in our country. Our students should be able to leave our peaceful campus and travel in safety, in security, on good roads, or by air or rail to any corner of Nigeria. The education sector should be providing quality education at all levels in all towns and villages of Nigeria. The health sector must be able to provide emergency services in a time of crisis, as well as affordable health care for all citizens.
Keep the Dream Alive
A few weeks later, 557 students, rather than 617, returned to Loyola. With the help of professional counselors, we have been planning how best to begin anew, with determination and hope. Having heard some of the classmates of those who died speak and give witness to how they feel, I am confident that we will manage. We follow not only the dream of Loyola Jesuit College, with its motto, "Service of God and Others," situated on the field of dreams as Ambassador Carrington described it, but the dream of a better, safer Nigeria. We owe this to the children who have died. This will be our way to forge ahead and begin to make sense of this tragedy.
Have we not been told for many centuries to "listen" and to "be not afraid"?

I love Goodreads ... It keeps my list for me.
I have a couple from your list on my TBR list
You inspired me. I've just made a list of my fave 10... So I'll have to blog them soon.

Hi Toni - yep, even though I'm on Goodreads, I still keep a list too. Although I'm scared I missed one or two books off.
Hi Michelle - glad to have inspired you and I can't wait to read YOUR list!

A book a week! Cool. And a few favourite authors I see there. I can't wait to read Marrying Daisy Bellamy, too.
Here's a few of my favourites: Flirting with Forty (Jane Porter), Chances and Secrets (Freya North), Animal Magnetism (Jill Shalvis), Dream a Little Dream and Match me if you Can (Susan Elizabeth Phillips), Explosive Eighteen (Janet Evanovich). And category: Shipwrecked with Mr Wrong and A Kiss to Seal the Deal (Nikki Logan), Heart of a Hero (Barbara Wallace), Nikki and the Lone Wolf (Marion Lennox). Heaps more read but a bit of a blur now. Chances probably my favourite.

Happy New Year!

- December 29, 2011 at 10:41 PM
Um that was bec above...
- December 29, 2011 at 10:41 PM
- Rachael Johns said...
WOW Joanne - 84 is AMAZING!!! I didn't read too many category, so maybe that's why I'm slowing down :)
Bec - lol, yes, I definitely read all the brilliant LIFER as well, and maybe AP as well too :) But I loved them all!
- December 29, 2011 at 11:20 PM
- Leah Ashton said...
I'm another that is so impressed you keep a list! And I'm so honoured that I got a little asterisk :)
This year has been basically a book drought, although I've been on holiday the past two weeks and have been reading up a storm - heaven! For some reason I've been devouring historical romances - Lorraine Heath, Pamela Morsi and Jennifer Ashley. I received What Alice Forgot for Christmas, so I'm looking forward to reading that, too. AND, of course, re-reading One Perfect Night ;)

Leah - your book DESERVED the asterix!!

What do you love most about using all solids?
100 Days – Week of Solids – Featured Quilt 2
What do you love most about using all solids?
i agree, solids are fab! I like the idea of a race! No time for 'overthinking' something. Sounds liberating.
Love your solid jelly roll quilt and your idea of adding squares.
Very nice! I just did my first jelly roll race quilt and loved how it turned out.
I believe Kay of Quilts and Color (http://quiltspluscolor.blogspot.com) started this pattern called Potato Chips. Modern Quilts do have us looking at solids in a whole new way. Go Quilt.
I love the colors used in this quilt! Very prettily done. Have a super day!
Looks great Mary Claire! This Jelly Roll Race is still on my To-Do List
I LOVE your quilt. I too made a JR quilt and although some don't like it, mine came out really nice. I did add a border and gave it to my GD for her dorm room. She loved it. I have ordered a jelly roll of solids and will make this one — I will keep though for me :c). Thanks for sharing!
Oh I love that! The grey squares really add a lot to the design. Well done!
I've seen a lot of those jelly roll race quilts, but I love the different spin you put on yours by using solids with the gray squares! I'd definitely use your inspiration to make one for myself! You've also added a lot of interest in your quilting design! Nice!
Great interpretation of the 1600″ quilt using the solids and squares to join pieces. I have a box of solids to use!

Description:HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-Port 554M AdapterPart Number(s)
Manufacturer Part# 647590-B21
Overview:The HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554M adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10 that allows each 10Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. When connected to a Data Center Bridging (DCB) capable switch, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Ethernet I/O are separated and routed to the corresponding network. For iSCSI storage, the HP 554M supports full protocol offload to provide better CPU efficiency when compared to software initiators, thus enabling the server to handle increased virtualization workloads and compute-intensive applications. This combination of high-performance network and storage connectivity reduces cost and complexity and provides the flexibility and scalability to fully optimize Gen8 BladeSystem servers. The HP 554M delivers the performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity for HP BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HP 554M optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.

Pipedream Cycles are bringing out a limited edition Reynolds 931 stainless steel frame to "celebrate all that's great with UK bike design in a celebratory year for the UK". Bike companies are understandably wary about mentioning the 'O' word due to draconian marketing restrictions, so we have to assume it's a tribute to the Queen's diamond jubilee.
The UK hardtail masters say 931's high tensile strength means it can be made into extremely thin walled, super-light yet durable tubes. Frame angles are described as "classic Pipedream trail geometry" – 69° head angle, 72-72.5° seat angle (depending on frame size – 16.5, 18 or 19.5in) and 317.5mm bottom bracket height – and it's designed to be used with a 100-120mm fork. Only 100 of the X R931 frames will be made, and they'll cost £1,195 each.
Pipedream told us about their new steel Skookum 29er at Cycle Show 2011 and it's now nearing production, with the frame priced at £395. We haven't seen any pictures yet but this big-wheeled version of the Sirius will offer some unusual features including an adjustable wheelbase via sliding dropouts and a driveside coupling for a belt drive system.
The front triangle will be made from Reynolds DZB tubing, with a tapered head tube and a dropper-post-compatible 30.9mm internal seat tube diameter. The frame's designed to be run with a 80-120mm fork. The vital statistics include a 71° head angle, 73° seat angle and 60mm bottom bracket drop.
Strength in Numbers UK premiere and tour
Strength in Numbers is one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year. It had its world premiere at the Sea Otter Classic last month and is due to be released on 24 May, on DVD, BluRay and iTunes. There are also plans to stream a basic version of the entire film online for free in the autumn.
If you can't wait that long, the UK premiere will be held next Tuesday (15 May) at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square, London. For details, check out the flyer below. This will be followed by a UK cinema tour that will visit the following locations:
- 31 May: Glasgow Film Theatre
- 31 May: Eastgate, Peebles (part of TweedLove film night)
- 11 June: Cameo Cinema, Edinburgh
- 15 June: Hyde Park Picturehouse, Leeds
- 19 June: Showroom Workstation, Sheffield
- TBC: Rheged Centre, Penrith
Strength in Numbers features some of the world's best riders, including Brandon Semenuk, Cam McCaul, Gee Atherton, Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter, Rene Wildhaber and Thomas Vanderham, riding in locations as varied as Canada, Nepal, Scotland, Austria, Switzerland and the USA. The people behind it, Anthill Films, say: "Ultimately, the film's mission is to inspire and show how we're all part of a global community who love to ride."
Ashton Court visitor centre
The new trails at Ashton Court in Bristol have been finished for a while now, attracting a steady influx of riders of all abilities. The visitor centre is now nearing completion too, and should open later this month. Quench Cycles, who have three sites in the South East, have won the tender to operate the bike shop, workshop and cafe.
Quench's Theo Church says they'll be stocking Mondraker bikes for hire, to demo and to buy, as well as offering bike skills and fitness courses. "We feel the mountain biking community will be as thrilled as we are about the new facilities available at an already popular trail centre," he says.
New colours from Bookman
Bookman's minimalist commuter lights are available in two new colours inspired, the Swedish company say, by "books, the act of reading and England's heritage". The Sixpence Orange and Oxbridge Red editions are available now, for £18.99/US$25. Visit www.bookman.se for details.
Yeti Tribe to gather in Shropshire
Yeti bike owners are invited to the ninth annual Yetifan UK Tribemeet at Long Mynd in Shropshire, on the weekend of 23-24 June. Organised by Yetifan.com, the event will see riders come together to "enjoy some of the country's best natural trails, sink a few cold beverages and talk Yeti".
Sponsored racer Scott Beaumont will be on hand to give riding tips, Plush Hill Cycles will provide mechanical back-up and Yeti distributors Silverfish will have 2012 bikes and frames on show. To find out more, visit www.yetifan.com.
OnYerBikeSeat – but is it art?
OnYerBikeSeat's customisable saddle covers are usually used as a marketing tool but a Spanish art collective have put them to another use – as part of an installation about safety, pollution and cycling advocacy.
Luzinterruptus spent four hours attaching saddle covers and LED lights to strings of bollards in the centre of Madrid. They hoped to encourage more people onto bikes; we don't know whether they were successful but the installation was certainly pretty. You can see the video here.
Magura MT8 wins award
Magura's super-light MT8 disc brake has impressed our testers, with its £300 pricetag the major stumbling block. Now it's received a Red Dot product design award, too. The international judging panel took into account factors ranging from innovation to functionality and ecological soundness.

Despite the fact that they won 13 games and had one of the NFL's best defenses, the San Francisco 49ers aren't generating much buzz as a Super Bowl sleeper.
That's largely because they're boring and don't have a good quarterback and kick field goals like it's no one's business.
But in a year when the league is relatively wide open, they might be the best bet to surprise people and win it all.
Here's why:
They're the only team that can slow down the Packers and Saints. To get through the NFC, you need some semblance of a pass defense. The 49ers have one. They rank only 16th in the league in passing yards allowed, but that's misleading since their run defense is so good that teams almost exclusively pass on them. San Fran has played three elite passing teams (Detroit, Philly, and the Giants), and held each of them under their season average for points (-10, -2, and -5, respectively).
Their offensive woes are a little misleading. The Niners offense isn't great (11th in the league). But it's not terrible either. Consider this: San Fran played seven games against top-10 scoring defenses. In addition, they run the ball so much that they aren't going to put up the gaudy scoring numbers of the Packers and Saints. But they've dominated nonetheless.
The road through the NFC isn't as tough as it seems. They get the Saints at home, on a sloppy grass field. No one wants to play the Saints right now, but those conditions are ideal. Then, they'd likely get the Packers in the NFC Championship — they're trending downward and are trying to skate by with all sorts of injuries along the offensive line.

Caribbean Airlines was incorporated in the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago on 27 September 2006, beginning flight operations on 01 January 2007 with 128 weekly departures to 10 markets operating five Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Caribbean Airlines initiated simplified one-way fares inclusive of taxes and fees that provided flexible fare combinations and extended stay options. The new fare program also featured a permanent discounted fare, senior citizen discounts and no change fees for students. We launched a Web check-in feature allowing passengers to check in for flights and print boarding passes from the comfort of their homes, offices or anywhere with an internet connection. Setting the pace for its future, Caribbean Airlines operated 93.9% of its flights on time during its begin operational phase through February 2007, surpassing the aviation industry on-time performance standard of 85% and the airline's January 2007 average of 92%. Caribbean Airlines also exceeded industry standards with an impressive lost baggage rate of 0.7 for January (less than one bag lost per thousand passengers) and 1 bag per thousand for February 2007. Caribbean Airlines' codeshare with British Airways took effect with a codeshare flight between Port of Spain, Trinidad and London Gatwick International Airport in March 2007. The codeshare allowed Caribbean Airlines to continue to sell London connections to our passengers. To meet increased travel demand for major regional events during March and April (including Cricket World Cup and Tobago Jazz Festival), Caribbean Airlines added a Boeing 737-800 aircraft and 100 extra flights to its schedule. The enhanced schedule included special charters to St. Kitts, Bermuda and Grenada, and exemplified Caribbean Airlines' commitment to its customers. To unite the staff around the new Caribbean Airlines brand and customer service standards, the airline launched Caribbean Airlines Brand Camp. Employees appointed as Brand Ambassadors carried messages of superior service elements that make Caribbean Airlines unique and admired. We initiated customer service monitoring programmes to measure and benchmark our airline's customer satisfaction in all areas from reservations to onboard service. Our average overall customer service rating in 2007 was an impressive 81%. The airline's Caribbean Miles loyalty programme featured a seamless transfer of miles from the BWIA programme. At its start, the airline recorded 128,734 Caribbean Miles members, by the end of June, the number had risen to 136,789 members proving the airline's growing loyalty base. In July 2007 Caribbean Airlines became the first airline in the region to launch an initiative to provide sustainable air travel with the CarbonNeutral® programme. In partnership with the CarbonNeutral Company, Caribbean Airlines offered passengers the opportunity to offset airline carbon emissions by investing in eco-friendly projects. Caribbean Airlines opened its new 2,000 square-foot sales and ticket office at Nicholas Tower, Independence Square, Port-of-Spain, featuring state-of-the-art technology such as internet kiosks for ticket booking and online check-in, in August of 2007, and two months later, purchased the remaining shares of Tobago Express. Along with acquiring the carrier's people and 5 Dash-8 aircraft, Caribbean Airlines also assumed the responsibility of air bridge service between Trinidad and Tobago. In the latter part of its maiden year, Caribbean Airlines added more than a dozen flight attendants from throughout the Caribbean region to its ranks. The recruitment from other CARICOM nations showed the airline's commitment to being the airline for the whole of the Caribbean. Showing its flexibility and commitment to meeting regional travel needs, Caribbean Airlines also leased an additional Boeing 737-800 to increase the number of flights to its markets to provide more options for our customers to gather with family and friends around the world. By the end of 2007, the airline solidified itself as the corner stone for region aviation and the success of the airline was evident in its continual growth. In early 2008, Caribbean Airlines inaugurated daily service to Caracas, Venezuela. The new daily return flight was the first network expansion since the airline started operating on January 1st 2007. This led to the introduction of a daily service to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and we became the only regionally based airline with the most direct services from Trinidad to South Florida. This growth was also complemented by significant costs savings and increase quality control with the in-sourcing of heavy maintenance for the airline's fleet. Presently Caribbean Airlines serves 16 markets in the Caribbean, South America and North America, operating a core schedule of 530 weekly departures with a fleet of 21 aircraft. Caribbean Airlines acquired routes operated by Air Jamaica on 26 May 2011, and currently employs 1, 124 employees with the Air Jamaica headcount at 650.

Germany Compiled Genealogies
|Germany Research Topics
|Beginning Research
|Record Types
|Germany Background
|Local Research Resources
The term genealogy is used in this outline to describe records that contain family information gathered by individuals, societies, or archives. These records may include pedigree charts, compiled family information, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files,record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These excellent sources of information can save you time. However, because they are compiled from other sources, they may contain inaccuracies. You should verify the information found in them when possible.
Major Collections and Databases
The Family History Library has several sources that contain previous research or that can lead you to other people who are interested in sharing family information. These sources include many ancestral lines that extend into Germany:
International Genealogical Index. This index at www.familysearch.org provides names and vital information for over 25 million deceased persons who lived in Germany. This valuable research tool lists birth, baptism, or marriage dates. The index for Germany includes names extracted from parish registers by volunteers and names submitted by other researchers. You can filter on one to nine German states:
- Alsace-Lorraine [France]
- Baden
- Bayern
- Germany, Misc.
- Hesse-Darmstadt
- Prussia
- Sachsen
- Thuringen
- Wuerttemberg
Filtering on Germany, Misc. includes only the small states and free cities of:
- Anhalt
- Braunschweig
- Bremen
- Hamburg
- Lippe
- Lübeck
- Mecklenburg
- Oldenburg
- Schaumburg-Lippe
- Waldeck
Ancestral File. This file, part of FamilySearch, contains family history information linked in family groups and pedigrees that have been contributed since 1979. The file contains the names of 36 million people, including thousands of German families. Ancestral File can print pedigree charts,family group records, and individual summary sheets for any person in the file.
Family Group Records Collection. More than eight million microfilmed family group record forms make up the Family Group Records Collection. The collection has two major sections: the Archive Section and the Patron Section. The film numbers for both sections are listed in the Author/Title Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under Family Group Records Collection.
German Pedigree Charts, about 1750-1937. This collection contains over 5,200 pedigrees on fifteen microfilms. The film numbers for the index and pedigrees are found on FHL films 417525-39.
German Genealogists Directory. Use directories to find others working on your lines. A directory with about 34,000 indexed surnames and a list of 1,900 genealogists (mostly German), their addresses, and their ancestors is listed below:
Glenzdorf, Johann. Glenzdorfs internationales Genealogen-Lexikon (Glenzdorf's international directory of genealogists). Three Volumes. Bad Münder/Deister: Wilhelm Rost Verlag,1977-1984. (FHL book 943 D27gi.) This source is not completely up-to-date, but it is still useful.
References to many genealogical collections are found at: www.genealogienetz.de/genealogy.html
Family Histories
Many German families have produced family histories or newsletters. These often contain genealogical information about several generations of the family, and they may include biographies, photographs, and pedigrees.
The Family History Library has many German family histories and newsletters listed in the Surname Search of the catalog. However, only the major surnames discussed in a family history are listed in the catalog.
The following indexes of published genealogy books and articles in genealogical periodicals are described in the "Periodicals" section:
- Der Schlüssel (The Key)
- Familiengeschichtliche Quellen (Family History Sources)
Many German family histories are listed in the following 400-page bibliography:
Heinzmann, Franz, and Christoph Lenhartz. Bibliographie gedruckter Familiengeschichten, 1946-1960 (Bibliography of printed family histories, 1946-1960). Düsseldorf, Germany: Heinzmann, 1990. (FHL book 943 D23he.) This bibliography cites 6,486 titles alphabetically by the main family discussed in each history. It also contains indexes of collateral lines, authors, and localities mentioned in the titles.
The Family History Library also has several statewide bibliographies of family history, such as the following:

Ancestor Certificates
During the Nazi era, starting about 1937, many families from all over Germany were asked to compile a four-generation genealogical chart [Ahnenpaß]. The information in the chart was usually verified in original civil and church records. The chart became an official certificate from the government. The Family History Library has very few of these records. They are hard to find. Many were discarded after World War II, but some families still kept them.
Village Lineage Books
For some German towns, locally compiled genealogy books are available. Such books may be called Ortssippenbücher, Dorfssippenbücher or Ortsfamilienbücher. These lineage books are extracted from parish registers. They give extensive genealogical information on almost all of the town's inhabitants, linked together as families. They usually begin with the earliest town records in the 1500s or 1600s and continue up to the twentieth century. They typically list families in roughly alphabetical order, with a surname index and place index at the end. They frequently have appendixes listing war casualties, mayors, pastors, refugees, or veterans.
A village lineage book is perhaps the best secondary genealogical source that can be found. If one's ancestors lived in a parish with a village lineage book, one may trace one's family back many generations. Since the books contain compiled information, the information should be verified whenever possible by referring to microfilmed parish records.
The village lineage books usually list only families whose members were born or married or died in the parish. Some regions of Germany have more than others; Baden, Württemberg, and Hannover have the most.
A list of on-line Ortssippenbücher (fully searchable online) available on www.genealogy.net is found at:www.online-ofb.de/ In addition, other websites also host compiled genealogies. Some regional genealogical societies have published town genealogies. For example, Die Maus, the Bremen area genealogical society, includes about thirty town genealogy databases on its website http://www.genealogy.net/vereine/maus/datenbanken/index.php?lang=de .
A list of published Ortssippenbücher is found at:wiki-de.genealogy.net/Kategorie:Ortsfamilienbuch
For more information on village lineage books see Bibiographies_of_Town_Genealogies.
Some of these books are indexed in the composite indexes described in the "Periodicals" section. Below is listed an important bibliography of 668 village lineage books in alphabetical order by town name:
Heinzmann, Franz. Bibliographie der Ortssippenbücher in Deutschland (Bibliography of village lineage books in Germany). Düsseldorf, Germany: Heinzmann, 1991. (FHL book 943 D23h 1991.) This work lists both monographs and village lineages in periodicals.
Some recently discovered village lineage books are now available through the German Center for Genealogy (see the "Archives and Libraries" section).
Village lineage books are listed in the Place Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under:

Re: Early Spring Tasks

I like crisp lines within the garden, however i do not like artificial or maybe stone border in my beds. By victimisation Associate in Nursing border tool to chop the grase edge every spring you retain the garden and field showing neatness in their place. this can be a task which will be done later within the season (summer or fall), however it ought to be done once a year to avoid the creap of turf grasses in to the garden zone.
The spring is that the right time to prune some shrubs and therefore the wrong time to prune others. First, look around your garden to check if there's any harm from the winter. Any broken, bent, twisted or otherwise undermined branching ought to be cropped currently in spite of the plant sort.
The a lot of work you'll place into the spring agriculture the higher your garden can perform within the summer and fall.

October 13, 2004
A white dust fills the air and pebbles fly in several directions. The sound of a hammer and then a saw or drill creates a piercing diversion.
The environment is not the typical Wabash College classroom, but then again perhaps it is. New experiences taught by prominent leaders in their field have always been part of the Wabash tradition.
Bloomington-based artist Dale Enochs spent Wednesday afternoon working with Doug Calisch's sculpture class giving them their first experience in limestone art. Enoch's work has been on display in the College's Eric Dean Gallery. The exhibit closed Wednesday with the author giving brief noontime remarks then working in the classroom setting.
"I really enjoy working with the kids," Enochs said. "There seems to be a great deal of enthusiasm and curiosity. I learned from a number of different people and now I have an opportunity to help share that."
The artist displayed and demonstrated the various tools he uses to create artwork that is now on display at White River Gardens in Indianapolis, Prophetstown in Tippecanoe County, and in Takihata, Japan. His work has also been featured on a segment of the HGTV show, Modern Masters.
After an hour of demonstrating how he works with the stone found throughout Southern Indiana, he gave students a chance to work with the limestone under his tutelage.
"I've worked with most everything, paint and sculpture, but I've never worked with stone before," Garen Robie '07 said. "It's definitely different than other things I've carved like wood."
Enochs feels a connection to Indiana limestone that he hopes the students picked up on during his visit.
"We're in Indiana; it's part of our location in the world," Enochs explained. "People have different experiences with the material, mostly buildings. They know about the Empire State Building, the Federal Triangle, and all that stuff. They know it's quarried in Southern Indiana.
"I think there is a connection to the material. That's something I feel strongly about. I feel connected because that's where I live and I think that connection is very important."
Robie, an art major planning to soon spend a semester as an art intern in the New York arts program, identified with the artists connection to the medium.
"I like the whole idea of using art to express certain intangible qualities about humanity," the sophomore said. "You take these qualities or ideas that can't be expressed vocally and create a sort of sensuous form or image that relates somehow to interpretation."
Calisch said that sort of connection with the artist and understanding the artist's work is what he hopes to accomplish when Wabash can have an artist of Enoch's stature work with students.
"I've always thought that at a small school where you only have one or two people in the art department that getting a new voice on campus, getting the students exposed to another artist doing something different than what we do here, is a real valuable experience.
"Dale is an international figure in the limestone carving world. He's done commission work in several countries and all across the United States. I think the students know that and they respond to fact he's been around and made a name for himself."

Four years after Congress granted it the power to regulate tobacco products to protect the nation's health, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a first slate of decisions affecting the market for tobacco products, approving two new products and rejecting four.
The agency on Tuesday gave Lorillard Tobacco Co. the green light to market two new cigarette offerings - both unmentholated versions of its Newport brand - finding that Newport Non-Menthol Gold Box 100s and Newport Non-Menthol Gold Box "do not raise different questions of public health" than similar brands already on the market.
The FDA's blessing is a far cry from a safety endorsement by the agency. With more than 400,000 American deaths yearly from tobacco-related illnesses and about 20% of American adults still smoking, the FDA's regulatory powers over tobacco are limited to ensuring that new tobacco-related products do not increase existing levels of harm.
The FDA also turned away four proposed new tobacco products that had been submitted for review. Those products, which the FDA is legally forbidden to identify, raised questions of public health that have not been substantially answered by studies of existing products.
Among the justifications it cited in blocking the sale of the four proposed new products were incomplete test data and a lack of information about a product's design provided by the sponsoring company.
In a third reason, the FDA found that one or more of the companies seeking approval for a new product had added specific ingredients without demonstrating that the resulting product raised no new public health questions.
None of the four rejected products had reached the U.S. market, so Tuesday's decision does not require stores to stop selling products already on shelves.
"This is historic," said Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. The FDA is the first regulatory agency in the world to regulate tobacco products with an eye to protecting the public's health, said Zeller, and the decisions represent its first bid to determine what products can enter the market.
Others will follow, and more quickly than the first six decisions. Zeller said companies seeking to sell tobacco products on the U.S. market had submitted 4,000 requests to have a product designated as "substantially equivalent" to tobacco products already for sale in the United States. Though 3,500 of those are "provisional" - meaning the designation is sought for a product already on the market - the remaining 500 are for new tobacco products, which must pass FDA muster before they can appear in stores or kiosks.
If recent history is any guide, the FDA's decisions will not go unchallenged by companies seeking access to the U.S. market. The agency's claim to have regulatory power over electronic cigarettes, which deliver tobacco-derived nicotine to consumers in the form of vapor, has been challenged - and for now, blocked - in court.
Zeller said the agency continued its efforts to "create a regulatory framework" that would allow it to oversee the burgeoning e-cigarette market.
Similarly, in 2011, tobacco companies went to court and successfully blocked the FDA's opening regulatory gambit - a requirement that cigarette manufacturers use half of their products' packaging to display graphic warning labels. Those labels remain on hold.

NEW YORK - With limited time and the unusual nature of a dual appearance with President Obama and outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, CBS' Steve Kroft said Monday said he thought it important to focus on their professional relationship instead of specific questions about world events.
Kroft said CBS was surprised when the White House suggested the appearance a little more than a week ago. The interview was conducted Friday and aired Sunday on "60 Minutes."
He judged that Obama wanting to do the interview alongside the woman who was once his fierce political rival before joining his administration was news in itself.
"I would have liked very much to delve into some areas of foreign policy and what is going on in the world, but it was not anything we could take on in 30 minutes," Kroft said, noting the time offered by the White House.
Besides, he said, there are opportunities to ask those questions in presidential or state department briefings.
"What was not ever likely to present itself was the opportunity to sit down and talk to them about their professional relationship," he said. "We thought that was the most important thing to do. You can watch their body language. You can judge what their relationship is."
A dual interview with a president and outgoing secretary of state in most cases wouldn't be particularly appealing. Not in this case, Kroft said.
Obama praised Clinton's work in the interview. He said that he had made the surprising decision to tap his rival for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination because he wanted someone who was known on the world stage. After initially resisting, Clinton said she accepted the job because she realized she'd want Obama in her Cabinet if she had been elected president.
Kroft said he sensed a warmth and respect between the two that might not have been publicly evident prior to the interview.
CBS received some criticism on Fox News Channel for not seeking news more aggressively. On "Fox & Friends," for example, co-host Brian Kilmeade said Kroft should have asked more questions about Clinton's recent fall and concussion.
"Why, exactly, did they sit down?" Fox's Steve Doocy said. "The interview was awkward. They were giddy saying goodbye and right at the top Steve Kroft said they only gave us 30 minutes which, of course, means there's not going to be any real news. And there wasn't."
Kroft said of the criticism: "This is something that has not been on my radar screen." The interview was the subject of many television and text news reports.
The "60 Minutes" veteran has been a regular interviewer of Obama, going back to the early days of the president's first campaign. He said he had a standing request for another interview around the start of the second term, when the Obama-Clinton sit-down was suggested.
Kroft said he felt an obligation to ask about the 2016 presidential race, even though he didn't expect, or receive, much of an answer.
"He's not interested in endorsing somebody for president and she's not, right now, interested in running, so the whole thing is kind of silly," he said.

Rashida has great taste
Michelle, Duana and I were moaning about Zadie Smith last year – so young, so brilliant, has taught at Harvard and Columbia, and will become a full professor at NYU in 2010. She's only 33. Love her. Hate her!
We felt even worse about ourselves after reading this article on Jon Favreau, President Obama's chief speechwriter, then just 26 years old and featured in the New York Times. He met Obama when he was 23, gave him a tip backstage when Obama was rehearsing at the 2004 convention (!!!) and then went on to work for him.
Jon Favreau is now reportedly dating Rashida Jones. She was involved with John Krasinski – a cutie in his own right, when he's not being wanky with journalists – and has now bagged another super smart overachiever.
Rashida has great taste, non?
And she rolls with a great crowd.
Rashida is currently starring in Amy Poehler's Parks & Recreation and is also tight with the Judd Apatow circle. Here she is at the premiere of Funny People last night. Amy meanwhile paid a visit to Letterman. I didn't watch. Was she amazing?
