For the Tour de France, entire countries seem to stand still. For the three weeks that the riders are pushing themselves to the very edge of human exertion, and then pushing beyond, millions of people think of nothing else, talk of nothing else, watch and read of nothing else. C'est tout!
That said, of course, not everything Tour de France-related is quite sweetness and light, no matter how overwhelming the attention it receives or how celebrated its history. After all, it's impossible to even touch upon the tour without addressing the sport's colossal and enduring doping problem, an issue so well-documented that big-time bicycling can sometimes make horse racing feel, by comparison, like an utterly pure, unblemished pursuit. Indeed, there are times when it seems as if every bicycling champion in recent memory has either tested positive for a banned substance, or has been and will forever be hounded by undying accusations.
Bicycling's drug problems didn't begin recently. There have been charges and admissions of cocaine and amphetamine use, for example, since the 1940s, while rumors of riders taking everything from nitroglycerin to exotic concoctions that today might be classified as "bathtub" or "designer" drugs (depending on who's doing the cooking) have dogged the sport for close to a century.
And yet . . . every year, as midsummer approaches, all of France and millions of other aficionados in bicycling-mad nations the world over blithely put their indignation and their suspicions on hold and avidly follow the circuitous stages of La Grande Boucle, a three-week traveling carnival of superhuman exertions, spectacular crashes and the type of drama that routinely unfolds when profoundly bitter, supremely competitive rivals vie for supremacy day after day after day.
Here, LIFE.com offers vintage (and in some case, previously unpublished) photos from the 1953 version of the great contest — pictures made at a time when most of LIFE's readers were probably only marginally aware that each summer people rode bikes for a few thousand miles on the mountain roads and through the sunflower fields of France and, occasionally, across the border into other European nations. The magazine's brief discussion of the atmosphere surrounding the race manages to sound at once slightly bemused and openly admiring — a reaction that will not be unfamiliar to countless Americans, 60 years later, as the peloton again begins its grueling, inevitable fast-paced slouch toward the Champs-Élysées:
High atop the foggy Col du Tourmalet, one of the most difficult passes in the Pyrenees, thousands of Frenchmen gathered . . . to experience a single moment. It came when a group of cyclists zoomed into sight and zoomed right out again over the mountains.
It was the time again of the annual Tour de France ... [and] all along the 2,775-mile route, during the 21 days of the event, millions of people came out to see the cyclists pass. Towns bid eagerly for the privilege of having the tour pass trough or better still spend the night there. In the past spectators have got so worked up tat to help their favorites they would throw cold water on them to cool them as they went by and even occasionally give a helpful push. This year a stern ruling was invoked: cheering only was permitted.

Linux on System z employs some unique technologies that can potentially make delivering overall network security easier by providing centralized management capabilities and reducing the number of control checks -- device coupling controls, auditing and troubleshooting functions, and predefined network configurations (such as the HiperSockets adapters, technology that enables high-speed communications between partitions on a server with a hypervisor).
The IBM Redbooks tech note "Security for Linux on System z: Securing Your Network" offers a rather detailed abstract that explains these tools and how they work in order to set up a secure network, focusing on the task of configuring virtual switches to automatically manage which users can couple with them. An excellent read of a few minutes that can bring you a wealth of knowledge on secure networking.
To expand your Linux on System z security experience even further, you can tackle the complete Redbook publication this note was abstracted from: Security for Linux on System z. If you need more basic hands-on experience using Linux on System z (and cloud), take a look at the video IBM Linux on System z Cloud Test Drive to better understand virtualization, deployment, and image management from both a user and an administrator point of view.

It was the first NCAA Regional appearance for both Lipscomb and UAB. Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman had stressed the need to take control of the game early in an effort to chase away the nerves.
The Lady Bisons had split a doubleheader with UAB April 20, winning 1-0 and losing 7-5. They scored one run in the first, two in the second and added another in the fifth on the way to a 4-1 win over UAB from Conference-USA..
"I couldn't be more proud of the way we came out and jumped on them early," Ryman said. "Any time we score first it takes the pressure off. It definitely takes the pressure off our pitcher, Whitney Kiihnl.
"There are always some nerves that are present when you're playing in your first Regional. We were familiar with UAB already which was a good thing going in. I'm just glad we walked away with a win in our first game."
The Lady Bisons will face Alabama, the regional host and No. 1 seed, Saturday at 1:30. The Crimson Tide is 49-9 and advanced by beating Alcorn State Friday night 9-0 in a game called in the fifth inning due to the eight-run lead rule. Alcorn State, from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, finished its season with a 24-25 record.
Fans can listen to the game at http://www.lipscombsports.com/sportsnetwork/ or watch the video stream at rolltide.com.
Kiihnl, a sophomore, struck out 11 batters, the 16th time she has reached double figures in strikeouts this season. Kiihnl, 32-3, pitched a no-hitter against UAB, a 1-0 decision at Draper Diamond, the last time she faced them.
She only gave up three hits and walked one, but she admitted she never felt truly in command on the mound. "I was nervous and was like `please don't hit it' today," Kiihnl said. "I've never been at Regionals so I guess the nerves got to me a little bit."
Ryman plans to send Kiihnl, the A-Sun Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year, to the mound as often as possible in the Regional. While she admits the UAB outing was not Whitney's best she knows that Kiihnl is always going to pitch well enough to keep the Lady Bisons in a game.
"She has been that difference maker," Ryman said. "Whitney is that `next-level' pitcher for us.
"At this stage and at this level it was good for her to get this first game under her belt to calm her nerves."
UAB coach Marla Townsend called Kiihnl one of the top pitchers her team has seen this season.
"If you see her presence out there, she is very impressive," Townsend said. "She can get down and find a way to work back.
"Conference-USA has some very good pitchers, and we have faced Kelsi Dunne on a couple of occasions. Ball State has an outstanding pitcher as well. I would say that she is one of the top five pitchers we have faced."
The Lady Bisons, led by three hits from junior left fielder Mackenzie Tucker, finished with 11 hits against UAB's Alisha Smith who evened her record at 13-13.
Also in double figures in hits for the Lady Bisons were senior third baseman Christen Campbell and senior second baseman Abby Keese.
Tucker pounded the first hit of the game, a double that went over UAB's left fielder and rolled to the wall for a double. Tucker scored the first run of the game when sophomore shortstop Courtney Billington doubled to shallow right field.
"We have a very good offense as we showed," Tucker said. "We all play our best when we are pumped up, but individually relaxed. We get in this mindset where it doesn't matter who we're playing or what pitcher is throwing."
It marked only the second time since 2002 that an Atlantic Sun Conference school has won the opening game in an NCAA Regional. The last time it happened was in 2006 when former conference member Florida Atlantic beat Florida 2-0.
The Lady Bisons almost pulled off the shutout. But UAB's Kayla Orr drove a home run over the center field wall to lead off the seventh inning.
The Lady Bisons raised their record to 49-11, tying the all-time victory mark set in the NAIA era under coach Andy Lane in 1997. The win total also ties Florida Atlantic for fourth on the A-Sun all-time victories list. Florida Atlantic had 49 wins in 1994.
"I don't know if it has really sunk in that we have won our first NCAA Regional game," Ryman said. "We are not here to try to do a bunch of first. We are here to play our game and keep winning.
"If we accomplish some records and have a few first along the way then so be it. This is a team that has really made a name for itself. It has really set the mark for what this program is all about. I can't say enough about how special this team has been all year."

On long trips with the parents, it becomes essential that I bring along some polishes for the distraction and peace that polishing my nails affords me. Otherwise 12 days of trying to take care of and ensure the safety and well-being of 2 (pretty) stubborn senior citizens with diet limitations can be quite draining.
Actually, it's also become a habit that I would sometimes haul polishes across the globe with me. It's not always the case that I can tolerate naked nails...
Good thing for me this time round, I've only had to re-do my nails once during the entire 12 days in Japan. And it's not even because I needed some respite from my folks. Instead, it was because my Disney nails could not longer survive the trip.
The only thing: I didn't know I had smudged them quite badly in the night until it was too late. Then, I got too lazy to change them. Especially since I kind of liked them in the first place.

Acamprosate is used along with counseling and social support to help people who have stopped drinking large amounts of alcohol (alcoholism) to avoid drinking alcohol again. Drinking alcohol for a long time changes the way the brain works. Acamprosate works by helping the brains of people who have drunk large amounts of alcohol to work normally again. Acamprosate does not prevent the withdrawal symptoms that people may experience when they stop drinking alcohol. Acamprosate has not been shown to work in people who have not stopped drinking alcohol or in people who drink large amounts of alcohol and also overuse or abuse other substances such as street drugs or prescription medications.
Acamprosate comes as a delayed-release tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food three times a day. To help you remember to take acamprosate, take it around the same times every day. Taking acamprosate with breakfast, lunch, and dinner may help you to remember all three doses. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take acamprosate exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.
Acamprosate helps to prevent you from drinking alcohol only as long as you are taking it. Continue to take acamprosate even if you do not think you are likely to start drinking alcohol again. Do not stop taking acamprosate without talking to your doctor.
If you drink alcohol while you are taking acamprosate, continue to take the medication and call your doctor. Acamprosate will not cause you to have an unpleasant reaction if you drink alcohol during treatment.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking acamprosate,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Acamprosate may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience either of them or those mentioned in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
Acamprosate may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
If you take too much acamprosate regularly for a long time, you may experience certain symptoms. Call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and counselor or support group.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Theater Review: Oleg Liptsin's Production of Beckett's 'Endgame
"What else is there to keep me here?"... "The dialogue!"
Oleg Liptsin, the Bay Area's resident veteran of Russia's outstanding theater of the late 20th century, has produced a marvel—an intimate, remarkably original show of Samuel Beckett's masterpiece, 'Endgame,' billed as being in Laurel and Hardy style, even opening with the great comic pair's theme music, but more of wonderfully bittersweet comedy of the endlessly repeated encounter of a longwinded old master in his wheelchair, appropriately named Hamm(Greg Young), his skittering, ever-upright servant Clov (Liptsin)—and interruptions, asides by Hamm's captive parents (in adjoining dumpsters) Nagg (Phil Estrin) and Nell (Gale Bradley), as well as a few eruptions from the light booth and some well-chosen video footage, counterpoint to Hamm's drawn-out tale of acquiring a boy servant from a starving man—probably the young Clov, though Hamm's too coy to say.
The setting's a bare room with two covered windows, Nagg and Nell's dumpsters, and Hamm swathed like a mummy in his wheelchair, all of which Clov unwraps with little sighs and chuckles, a weird Christmas present for the audience. Later, he scans the horizon through a spyglass, intent on reporting the "Zero "he sees in the wake of some entropic apocalypse.
Lipsin's stylizations of Clov, the servant unable to sit down, recall the grimaces and wild poses of the silent film comedians—and a voice never heard in Talkies. Young plays Hamm more naturalistically, the two captive old folks magnificently delineated as vaudevillians, Nagg an acerbic raconteur, Nell a sour ingénue, backward-looking: "Ah, yesterday."
Brimming with paradox, it's a series of overly serious yet funny games, about wanting to leave home but sticking around, played out in a well-rehearsed hysteria, power trips succeeded by tender moments of intimacy, foaming resentment followed by shared mirth ..
If you see one "different" theater show this year, make it 'Endgame,' one of the few Beckett productions I've ever seen that grasps his humor and melancholy humanity whole, framing his quartet of"fantastics" with the clockwork of theater that makes them tick, striking the hour of heartbeat and laughter: "Are you crying again?" ... "I'm trying! "

When news broke Monday regarding Facebook's eye-popping $1 billion acquisition of mobile photo sharing network Instagram, I experienced a variety of immediate reactions:
- Wow, that's a lot of money!
- I mean, a lot of money!
- Is there some way I am entitled to any of that money?
- I mean, I take a lot of photos of my kids on Instagram.
- But wait a second: Why is Instagram worth so much money to Facebook?
What does Facebook get for its billion smackers, anyway?
By the (other) numbers
Instagram reported it had more than 30 million members before its launch on Android earlier in April. (Instagram said that in its first few days of release for Android, the app was installed more than a million times per day.) Instagram's users snap and share several million of photos every single day.
Facebook, on the other hand, projects that it will approach 900 million active members by the end of the year. Two years ago, the social network reported that its users upload more than 100 million photos per day; that's insane, and that's an old statistic. The number today is undoubtedly substantially higher.
Instagram's team consists of just 13 employees, and the technology behind the photo-sharing network isn't especially complex.
Oh, and if you had a billion dollars for every buck Instagram earned up until it was acquired by Facebook, you'd have exactly zero dollars: Instagram, as yet, has no business model and no revenue.
Those facts combined show me that this wasn't a profit-based acquisition, a talent acquisition, or even an audience acquisition: Facebook employs more than 3000 people, and Instagram's own network is roughly three percent the size of Facebook's.
Is it all about growth potential?
Facebook's current and future dominance seems fairly assured. It is both enormous and enormously popular. But once it reaches a billion members and beyond, how much more can it grow? The planet has about seven billion people; some percentage of those folks will never register for Facebook for all sorts of reasons.
Instagram's 30-plus million members are, comparatively, a drop in the bucket. In terms of membership growth potential, though, Instagram may well have the upper hand: If we posit that 2 billion world citizens are potential Instagram and Facebook members, Instagram can still register nearly all of them; Facebook can sign up just more than half.
Of course, that's a bit of a silly statistic. Facebook has its hundreds of millions of members, and most show no signs of abandoning the network any time soon. Growth potential is nice, but actual membership matters a lot more. Facebook wouldn't presume that a burgeoning network with just, say, ten members would be an even better buy because of its still larger potential growth.
And even if Instagram too can swell to hundreds of millions of members, it's likely that the overwhelming majority of those members would already have Facebook accounts, too.
But nonetheless, it's clear that Instagram's potential remains off the charts, and its growth rate is impressive--all the more so when you realize that, until a week ago, its entire membership solely consisted of iPhone owners. There's no official website of any merit, and no official desktop client, either.
A photo finish
From my perspective, Facebook's primary reasons for acquiring Instagram didn't focus on the members or the technology. Rather, the apparent goals are to ensure the larger network's continued dominance in photo sharing, gain still wider adoption on mobile devices, and of course gain access to some of the data that such photos provide - who's taking them, where, and when.
What are the other big photo-sharing networks Facebook could have aimed to acquire instead? Flickr, while still sizable, seems to be running on fumes. Picasa is small, and Google's not going to sell it to Facebook. Beyond those, there aren't any photo sharing networks with enough traction or activity to catch Facebook's eye.
And Facebook knew something about Instagram that many of the photo-sharing service's own members didn't want to acknowledge: Instagram essentially needed to sell; an utter lack of any revenue - and no plans to add one - isn't a recipe for long-term viability. Without an acquisition, Instagram faced a too-common painful choice between burdening its service with fees, ads, or both, or eventually run out of investors willing to fund things for everyone.
Put another way: If it weren't for Facebook, Instagram would soon enough surely have belonged to someone else. Facebook, like Apple, is big enough that it can buy impressive upstarts - even overpaying in the process - in part so that no one else can buy them instead.

Early Morning Musings
For the past two years or so, I've made a habit of setting my alarm to get up before the rest of the family. That way I can have my coffee, a bit of computer time and focus myself before the chaos starts.
I'm sitting here at my kitchen table, the only sound is the clicking of the keyboard as I type this, and one bird singing his little heart out in my back yard. The sun is streaming through my kitchen window, the flowers on my back deck are bursting with life and colour.
I don't often take the time to actually enjoy this part of the morning. I'm generally too busy with my Etsy shops, getting everything organized, making my plans and getting my day off on the right foot. All of this goes unnoticed and unappreciated.
We need to take the time, every day to actually look around us and see the wonders of our world. Whether you live in the city, the country, a small town, by the ocean, under the mountains, in the plains, wherever, it doesn't matter. Take some time today, really look around and thank God that He has given us such a beautiful place to live. And remember how truly blessed you really are.

Conditions in South Florida are quite a bit warmer Tuesday morning, to the tune of 15 to 20 degrees warmer in some instances.
We can thank an on-shore breeze overnight for turning our temperatures back up to more seasonable levels. From this point there won't be much change in the pattern through the weekend.
Expect highs in the upper 70s to near 80 Tuesday with partly sunny skies. Readings will drop into the upper 60s tonight as a few clouds linger.
Wednesday warms up to 81 under mostly sunny skies and light southeast winds.
The balance of the extended forecast holds highs in the lower 80s and dry weather into the weekend.

Connectome Update (BSP 103)/
The Human Connectome is a description of the structural connectivity of the human brain, but according to Olaf Sporns, author of Discovering the Human Connectome, this description must include a description of the brain's dynamic behavior. I first talked with Sporns back in BSP 74, but BSP 103 gave us a chance to talk about recent progress in connectomics.
Sporns sees the study of the brain's connections as fundamental to understanding how the brain works.
"It will allow us to ask new questions that perhaps we couldn't ask before. It will be a foundational data set for us, just like the genome is. We will not be able to imagine neuroscience going back to a time when we did not have the connectome, but it will not give us all the answers."
In his first book, Networks of the Brain, Sporns described how Network Theory provides important tools for dealing with the large data sets that are created by studying complex systems like the human brain. In BSP 103 we discuss both the challenges and the promise of Discovering the Human Connectome.

Worst... lollipops... ever.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! It's almost time for Halloween! And you know what that means? Stressing out about costumes, making the Sophie's Choice over which parties to attend (basically an exercise in letting your friends know who you like most) and experiencing undue suspicion of apples. (Is an apple stuck with hidden pins healthier if it's organic? And do child-killers have a preference between Braeburns or a Cox's Orange Pippin?)
Halloween: the scary holiday. You know what's scary? How my body can turn two, tiny Reese's Peanut Butter Cups into a week's worth of adult acne.
If it sounds like I'm anti-Halloween, know that I'm not. It's just that, unlike Walrus Day, this holiday bears with it certain responsibilities, just like all the other more pious celebrations. Granted, one usually isn't pressured to hang out with family members on Halloween (I actually like my family, but a lot of people have to settle for loving theirs), and no-one's expected to cook lavish feasts (unless you count opening a fun-size Snickers "cooking"), but you are expected to have a lot of fun. This presents someone like me with real challenges.

I am trying to understand divisors reading through Griffith and Harris but it is difficult to come up with any particular interesting example. I have browsed through Hartshone's book but everything is expressed in terms of schemes, and I believe it is still possible to find some toy example to carry with me without having to learn what a scheme is first. Does anyone know any reference or book which has some exercise or example on this? In particular I would like to see examples of linear systems of divisors and how given a linear system of dimension $n$ I can choose a pencil inside it.
Apologies if this is not the place to write this, it is my first post. I have searched through the questions and have not find anything similar.

Morning tide brings flooding, weather watchers
Surf pounding Old Lyme beaches
Where there is weather, there are weather watchers.
Several people gathered at the end of Hartford Avenue in Old Lyme this morning to sip coffee and watch the storm come in to Sound View Beach. The surf was already churning, but had not yet breached the high tide mark.
"This isn't it yet," said Paul Gasperini, who lives at the top of Gorton Avenue. "Hawks Nest (beach) is already getting pounded. Gasperini was looking west, where the waves appeared to have already breached the sea wall.
Gasperini said he lived in Florida for 20 years before coming to Connecticut.
"My wife came up here because she wanted to get away from hurricanes," he said.
Mystic inundated with water
Monday morning's high tide inundated parts of downtown Mystic, flooding the public parking area and portions of the riverside docks and streets along the Mystic River.
Downtown shops, sand bags stacked at their entrances, were closed and the Mystic River was creeping precariously close to the drawbridge.
Outside the Tradewinds Gallery on West Main Street, John Sarpu made some last minute preparations, covering the glass entrance with plywood. Sarpu works for Jerome Properties, which owns several downtown buildings.
He said awnings have been cranked in, signs removed and along with plywood and sandbags he is using silicone to fill in some of the cracks where water can seep into the shops.
"We're basically doing as much as we can," Sarpu said. "Hopefully if the water comes up it will drain off. We'll pray and hope for the best."
On the Stonington side of the Mystic River, onlookers gathered near the flooded park to watch the water rise. Mystic resident Kathy Gauthier snapped some photos of what she said was "history in the making."
"I grew up here and I've never seen it like this," she said.
Gauthier said even her mother, who lived through the hurricane of 1938, said she was impressed by the height of the water.
Groton has issued a mandatory evacuation Sunday for those living in certain shoreline communities, such as Groton Long Point and Noank. About 60 people stayed Sunday night at the emergency shelter at Fitch Senior High School, said Joseph Sastre, the town's emergency management director. The shelter remains open and has a special section for pets.
"My major concern is people living in the low-lying areas that are not heeding the warnings," Sastre said.
Up to date information is available by visiting Groton's Emergency Management on Facebook.
Stonington flooding; bracing for evening tide
In Stonington borough this morning, where high tide was just before 9 a.m., water topped many of the docks that fringe the village. Offshore in Stonington Harbor, waves had inundated many sections of the outer breakwater which had been damaged by Tropical Storm Irene and was scheduled for repairs beginning this week. Much of Sandy Point is also now under water.
The inner breakwater is still above water but the jetty behind Stonington Commons, which cars use to be able to drive on before it was damaged in the Hurricane of 1938, is now under water as well.
The public parking lot at Wayland's Wharf is flooded as is the flood prone road around Hyde Street which the borough just rebuilt.
On East Grand Street, flood waters are threatening to refloat the massive log that washed ashore during Irene. Residents have warned over the past year that if that happens it will threaten nearby docks.
Although police have set up barriers to stop people from for going to Stonington Point, a steady stream of people walked down to the Point to take photos and watch the waves, which have begun to flood the parking lot.
Warden Paul Burgess, estimated this morning that about 30 to 40 percent of borough residents, who are under a mandatory evacuation order.
"When we get to 9 p.m. tonight that will be the real question," he said referring to the time when tide will be high again and the storm will be its strongest.
First Selectmen Ed Haberek agreed.
"Tonight is going to be a nightmare," he said as he drove to Masons Island about 10:15 a.m. to check on the causeway which was topped by water, cutting remaining residents off from the mainland. Masons Island is also under a mandatory evacuation order.
Haberek said Holmes Street along the Mystic River have also flooded as well as sections of River Road along the Pawcatuck River. He said 129 customers of Rivercrest neighborhood in Pawcatuck are without power after a transformer fire.
Twenty-six people are now at the shelter at the high school where school cooks will begin to serve food at lunch for evacuees.
Lyme residents urged to seek shelter
Lyme officials have told residents needing overnight shelter to proceed to the regional shelter at East Lyme Middle School on Society Road.
After the storm, the Lyme's Senior Center on Town Woods Road will act as a respite center with food and water, the Town stated on its Web site Monday morning.
The Hadlyme and Hamburg Fire Stations are open and can provide access to showers, water and any charging of electronic devices.
The Town Hall and Landfill will close noon. The Town has also extended the deadline for in person voter registration to 8 p.m. on Nov. 1.
Waterford residents prepare beachside homes for storm
The cottage at the end of The Strand was the focus of attention for two friends who worked this morning to remove the staircase leading from the cottage down to the beach.
The Crampton's Cottage is the only house in the small beach neighborhood that is directly in front of the breaking waves.
Eight feet of water is all it takes for the yard of the home behind and to the side of the cottage, owned by the parents of Waterford resident Guy Joseph, to be under water.
"It's worse now than it was during Irene," he said. "This is going to be bad."
Storm surges are expected to be double or even triple the size of what they were during Irene, which was three to six feet.
The other neighborhood in Sea Meadows Lane was deserted. Most are summer homes, Joseph said, but there are some year-round residents who did not want to take the chance of flooding or wind damage.
East Lyme shelter busy; roads flooding
By 9:30 this morning, about 70 people had settled in at the American Red Cross regional shelter at the middle school, along with eight dogs and a hamster.
Another 15 people came through the door at about 10:30, and shelter manager Dawn Davis expected still more guests as the day progresses. The facility is open to residents of East Lyme, Lyme, Montville, Old Lyme, Waterford and New London.
"Things have started to pick up," she said. "We're hearing that by 2 or 3 p.m., we should batten down the hatches. Hopefully everybody should be here by then."
Rose Lohne, 81, of Niantic, who remembers the Hurricane of '38, predicted that this storm wouldn't be as bad. Still, she never wants to experience the terror she felt as a 7-year-old girl living on Main Street.
"All the windows in the kitchen were rattling," she said. "Many trees were lost, especially on Pennsylvania Avenue."
As Lohne reminisced from the safety of her cot in the school gymnasium, East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica was standing at "Ground Zero" in Cini Park, where water was already lapping over the road. The town had ordered the evacuation of all low lying areas Sunday with good reason, he said.
"We're already seeing signs that the flooding at this high tide is coming over the roads," Formica said. "The issue is going to be the fact of the sustained winds over the next 24 to 36 hours are going to keep the high tide in place and not allow it to release back."
Formica said town offices were closing at 11:45 so that all but essential employees would be off the roads. He stressed that people should stay at home.
At the shelter, kids sat cross-legged on cots, playing a game of battle ship. Pet owners tended to their animals, which are being kept in the hallway of the school's lower levels. Local residents were stopping by with donations, including one woman who had eight cheesecakes in her freezer, Davis said.
In the cafeteria, Hank and Sandy DeMazza of Old Lyme spoke with relatives by cell phone and said they were resigned to waiting out the storm at the shelter. Because Mr. DeMazza relies on oxygen tanks, they felt more comfortable here.
"It's our first time at a shelter," said Mrs. DeMazza, who said she has been teased quite a bit about her first name, Sandy, being the name of the moment.
She said the shelter workers and volunteers have thought of everything.
"Nobody should hesitate to come here," she said. "It's incredible."

There is a very annoying perception in society that women don't "do" technology. Look at a picture of an app designer, a welder, an aircraft engineer or a rocket scientist, and you are probably looking at a man. That is irritating, but I think it is only half the problem. The other half is that we do not ever think of women's activities as technology, even when that is exactly what they are.
"Technology," as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the practical application of knowledge, especially in a particular area, and a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods or knowledge. Men do not have a monopoly on working out how to use the available tools to do something practical, either in current society or historically.
Ada Lovelace, whose work in the 19th century inspired the first modern computer, and whose life is celebrated every year on Ada Lovelace Day, which takes place next week, is a worthy role model. Yet there are so many more closer to home.
My Polish grandmother had a Singer treadle-powered machine, built into a small wooden table with decorative legs. I loved it because it was mechanical and you could see how it worked. I have it now and I like it for the same reasons that I like massive steam engines. It is ingenious. I know how to sew and I like making things out of fabric. That is ingenious, too.
It was years before I realized that most of society put loving the mechanics and loving the sewing in different categories. Mechanics involves levers and wheels and gears, and everyone knows that is technical. However, sewing is associated with women, and so it mysteriously and quietly slides out from under the umbrella of technology and slinks off into obscurity.
Next time you are doing your laundry or tidying your coat rack, have a proper look at how your clothes are made. This is technology in action. The cloth must be cut in the right orientation relative to its threads, so that it hangs and stretches correctly. Flat pieces of cloth must be fitted together to make an object that fits a three-dimensional moving person. Fabric can be joined together with different stitches that do different jobs. And then all that construction work is hidden away, so that it is never the first thing you notice.
Labeling these practical activities as "male" or "female" is purely cultural. It has got nothing to do with the skills necessary to do the job. As I saw the technical skills involved and not the cultural implications, I never worried about whether something was for "boys" or "girls."
The women in history who made an impact in all-male fields were also typically in a position where they did not have to worry much about what other people thought. Lovelace, the daughter of a famous poet and clever mother who went on to marry an earl, came from a privileged background that exposed her to the new mathematical ideas of the day. She could do what she liked, so she did. My grandmother could sew and so can I, but I have also been free to pursue a career as a physicist, an opportunity she did not have as a woman in the 1940s.
If you look back through history, you will see that many of the tasks traditionally done by women are technological. Earlier this year, I had to learn how to arc weld while filming a BBC program about the sun. The old-school professional welder in Arizona who taught me was astonished that I learned so quickly and even more astonished when I explained that this was because it was almost exactly like icing a cake. The pose you adopt is the same (left hand closer to the nozzle, right elbow high up in the air), the method of controlling the speed of either icing or welding metal is the same (squeezing) and the overall aim is the same: depositing a thin stream of liquid in a controlled manner. One might involve slightly more molten metal at 3,000C° and slightly less sugar, but they are essentially indistinguishable.

The incredible blend of proprietary ingredients or rare natural extracts in a skin care product is meaningless if the formula that contains them isn't absorbed well by the skin. Without proper absorption, those healthy ingredients stay trapped on the surface of the skin, where they can affect only the cells that are already dead and are just waiting to be shed through your body's natural turnover process. The Celazome skin care collection differs from others on the market due to its incredible nanosphere technology, which delivers ingredients deep into the skin tissue, where they can create real results for the complexion.
Thanks to nanosphere technology, Celazome skin care products are 75 times more concentrated than other skin care formulas, making them better able to nourish and heal the complexion. The tiny capsules that contain the ingredients also slowly release them into the skin for benefits that continue for hours after application. Clinically tested and proven to be better at treating conditions like signs of aging than ordinary products, the Celazome formulas use the latest science to safely beautify the skin.
Founded just before the turn of the new century, Celazome is dedicated to the goal of improving the quality of people's lives through advanced skin care management, backed by pharmaceutical standards of scientific research. As an acknowledged leader in nanotechnology, Celazome offers its patented Lymphazome® system to deliver pure, bioactive ingredients into skin tissues, for effective improvement in skin condition. This technology, created after years of research in their on-site laboratories, uses lecithin microbeads only 1/50th the size of human skin cells - small enough to be absorbed deep into the skin tissues - to create long-lasting benefits for skin care. The formulas are so effective that results can be astonishingly fast, often visible in two weeks or less for most people.
Celazome products are available in a wide selection, to address specific skincare needs as well as in balanced, multi-step care regimens. They provide high concentrations of carefully researched, selected and sourced ingredients. These concentrations - are often in strengths up to 75 times greater than those found in other lines of skin care products - to ensure fast and effective improvement in skin condition. The formulas are never tested on animals, but they are subjected to clinical tests to ensure that they meet the highest pharmaceutical standards of safety and efficacy. The high quality of the ingredients and manufacturing techniques ensure that the products remain stable and effective for two years after the date of production. The Celazome family of skincare products are used and recommended by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, hospitals, aestheticians and spas worldwide.
Skin care science is constantly evolving as new technologies are discovered to enhance the potency and effectiveness of products and treatments. One of the latest innovations is nanotechnology, creating products that contain tiny molecules that penetrate the skin more easily without sacrificing effectiveness.
For more than 13 years, Dermazone Solutions has been developing its nanotechnology and has created a revolutionary method of delivering ingredients called lyphazome natural nanospheres. Found in all of Dermazone's Celazome Products, these nanospheres are one-fiftieth of the size of a human skin cell. This allows the ingredients in Celazome Products to actually permeate the cells and deliver vital nutrients to the structures within. As a result, Celazome Products offer incredible results for a variety of skin care concerns that simply cannot be matched by other products on the market. Discover what a difference nanotechnology can make for your complexion by exploring the revolutionary Celazome collection today!
With their patented lyphazome natural nanosphere delivery system, Celazome Products offer incredible results for a variety of skin care concerns from combination complexions, to acne breakouts to faces marred by fine lines and wrinkles. This technology allows the high quality ingredients in the products to fully penetrate the skin and enter the cells to reverse damage and hasten healing time.
The Celazome Rosewater Clarifier helps to normalize your skin by balancing the acid-base levels of the tissue through a blend of rose centifolia water and birch leaf extract. With regular use, the clarifier can eliminate patches of dry skin and oil and is safe for all skin types. Gentle enough for use on even the eye area, the clarifier also doubles as a makeup remover.
Because of its unique lyphazome delivery system, the Celazome Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30 offers protection from ultraviolet rays that is 30 times more powerful than the natural defenses of the skin. The waterproof formulation remains potent and protective for a full eight hours and is enriched with aloe vera extract to soothe irritation and moisturize the tissue while preventing sunburn.
Apply the Celazome O-PLEX Target to acne blemishes anywhere on the skin and let the powerful effectiveness of lyphazome nanospheres go to work to heal and clear up your complexion. The spot treatment contains origanium complex to eliminate the bacteria that causes infections in the pores as well as sulfur and natural tea tree oil to reduce redness and soothe the skin.

Columbia Custom Tackle
I am a construction company owner who just recently started this fishing tackle company. It has been a dream of mine for a long time to own a tackle company and I am very excited about it. I want this company to represent the higher end of custom fishing tackle.
My target audience for my fishing tackle is the higher end of the bass fishing market....both professional tournament anglers as well as recreational anglers. We produce high end tackle boxes and lures that are priced for those who don't look at price tag first. A lot of the market will be based in Southern California. I would like the logo to have a slight SoCal feel but nothing too much.....keep in mind that I am kind of a geek from Washington State!
I want the logo to look very nice and be recognizable at first glance. I think a bold logo that's black and white will look best but I am very open to different ideas. My logo will be sublimated on pro fishing jersies that have a ton of sponsors and will be photographed from a distance. I think that simple is better in this case.
REVISION (8-11 @ 7:30 a.m.):
I have changed my mind regarding the black and white. I would like for Columbia to be a thicker shiny orange text with the rest being black.
