In Japan, an AOL-like service called Open Data Network promotes itself using a Disney Pooh theme. In the US, that would mean it was targeting kids, but (as best as I can tell) they're not particularly doing that in cute-friendly Japan. In fact, I have a sign-up disc with a video that seems to show two successful businesswomen using a service called PoohMail2Plus. (I picked up the disc when I was in Tokyo last year, and just found it in my messy office–which is why I'm suddenly bringing all this up.)
ODN's Pooh site is available for your entertainment here. It's 99% in Japanese, and that's one reason why I just spent about five minutes wandering around it, being pleasantly confused. If you like oddball uses of American cartoon characters in foreign lands, I suggest you do the same.
One other note: Both the disc and the site have prominent credits for A.A. Milne and Ernest Shepard. I'm not sure why–or if they'd be pleased or disgruntled to be associated with the Disneyfied versions of their characters. But it's nice to see an example of Disney licensing that actually credits the guys who came up with the characters in the first place.

New tactics can thwart her, but Saina is too good!
Saina Nehwal has proved her detractors wrong by winning back-to-back titles
The Indonesian Open, which she won yesterday, had all the four top ranked Chinese shuttlers and the Indian World No 5 showed that she is ready to challenge the Chinese again at the London Olympics.
In Jakarta yesterday, Saina was up against a player, who had defeated her most times in the past — Li Xuerui. The reigning All England and Asian champion from China must have felt supremely confident against Saina. After all, Li had lost only once to the Indian in the last five encounters. But Saina won a tantalisingly close match, overcoming a first game debacle, 13-21, 22-20, 21-19, showing great courage and
The big question now is, what's in store for Saina at London? The Chinese camp may be in turmoil, but they never take to defeats lying down. They will go hammer and tongs at trying to devise new tactics to stop the marauding Indian, who is now threatening to snatch gold at the Olympics.
For Saina, the best thing is that she will be fearless. She has bested the very best of what the world could throw at her. She has taken the measure of the fabled Chinese, the hard-working Koreans and the not to-be–dismissed-easily Japanese. Her training is on track and so is her confidence. Her fitness has been helped by a five-kilo weight loss. That she could defeat Wang Shixian in a 97-minute encounter and still retain that extra edge to win her semis and the final with stamina and focus to spare, speaks volumes of her determination. One only hopes that Saina has not peaked too early. But given her performance in last two weeks, one can safely say that she knows what it takes to go for gold at the Olympics. The Olympic qualification rule of only three players can represent a country, will help. This means that although all top four world-ranked are Chinese girls, one will have to be dropped by their national federation. But then, Saina is ready for anything.

Matching family tree profiles for Auguste van Pels
Immediate Family
About Auguste van Pels
On 29 September 1900, Auguste Röttgen is born in Buer, which today is part of Gelsenkirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Her parents are Leo Röttgen and Rosa Rosenau, and Auguste has four sisters. Nothing is known about Auguste's educational history. On her 25th birthday she marries Hermann van Pels in Elberfeld, her place of residence, and thereby acquires Dutch nationality. She goes to live with him in Osnabrück. On 8 November 1926 their son Peter is born. From September 1930 to June 1937, she and her family live on Martinistrasse and are enrolled at the orthodox synagogue. Auguste, also known as Gusti, is a good housewife and takes care of Peter. She loves to talk − and at length. She's an elegant and coquettish lady who is conscious of her appearance and fond of pretty clothes. In July 1937, Auguste, Hermann and Peter van Pels leave Germany for Amsterdam. Because of their Dutch nationality they have no trouble emigrating. They take their furniture and other valuables with them. After living in an upstairs flat on Stadionweg, they move into a house on Biesboschstraat, where her parents live with them from late March to early September 1939. Like many people at that time, she sometimes rents a room to acquaintances or refugees. In May 1940 the Van Pels family move to a spacious four-room flat on Zuider Amstellaan. Peter attends school and plays soccer with boys in the neighbourhood. Occasionally they all go to visit the Frank family. Relatives of Auguste emigrate to America, but she herself never succeeds in getting beyond the Netherlands. On 13 July 1942 she and her family leave their home to go into hiding. Auguste's household task in the Secret Annexe is that of cook, a role that suits her to a T. Making something out of the increasingly monotonous and meagre rations requires quite a bit of conjuring. Auguste sometimes interferes with the way Anne and Margot are being raised, which she regards as too liberal. This rubs Edith Frank the wrong way. After a few months their relationship cools, all the more so when the Franks discover that Auguste has been withholding food. She gets into fierce rows with Hermann, whom she endearingly calls 'Putti', and she loves flirting with the other men. Auguste keeps things lively. She's a great talker and enjoys a good laugh, but as the months In hiding drag on, she, like Edith Frank, becomes increasingly despondent and sombre. The Van Pels family are gradually forced to sell all their possessions to buy food, and Auguste parts with her beautiful fur coat − with difficulty. Yet she does make a very generous gesture during that difficult period: in February 1944, Auguste gives Miep Gies an antique ring for her birthday with the words, 'This is just a small token of our appreciation and friendship After the arrest and transport to Camp Westerbork, Auguste and the other female prisoners are made to dismantle batteries, a filthy and dangerous business. At five o'clock in the morning the workday begins. Seated at long tables, the women break open batteries in order to remove the carbon rods. Then they pick out the sticky brown mass, which contains poisonous ammonium chloride. Finally all the components are collected separately for use in the war industry. In early September, among the 1,019 names that are read aloud by the camp leaders for what proves to be the last transport from Westerbork to Auschwitz-Birkenau is that of Auguste. In the chaos that ensues on the train platform at Auschwitz she is heartlessly separated from her son and husband. Auguste makes it through the first selection for the gas chambers. During the day she does hard labour and at night she sleeps with more than a thousand other women in a barracks originally meant for 52 horses. In October or November 1944, Auguste is put on a transport to Bergen-Belsen, probably along with Margot and Anne. She stays there for a few months. Hanneli Goslar, a friend of Anne's, later reports that she encountered Auguste van Pels at the fence. Auguste recognized her name and said right away, 'Oh, you'll want to speak with Anne'.[39] Auguste helped the two friends get back in touch with each other. In February 1945 Auguste is deported to Raguhn, an Aussenlager (outer camp) of the Buchenwald concentration camp, and several weeks later to Theresienstadt. As eyewitness Rachel van Amerongen-Frankfoorder later reports, Auguste is brutally murdered on that last transport: the Nazis throw her under the train and she dies on the spot. She is 44 years old.

Food Porn: Ellicottville Brewing Company
Almost every time I have gone to Ellicottville, I make my way to EBC (Ellicottville Brewing Company). They brew the best Blueberry Beer I have ever tasted and on top of that I really like Ellicottville, NY. It's a really pretty town, cute and tiny, a really nice ski-town. They don't have too many options for restaurants, so one of the downsides can be how crowded the restaurants get during the busiest times of the day. Once those slopes close down, BAM these places are packed.
Anyways, this picture was actually taken a year ago, but I remember them well. These guys were delicious, not in a covered in fat, hurts so good type of way. But these were like eating a meal, but in a bowl and was called an appetizer. Not the best cheese/meal fry combo I have ever had, but they weren't bad.

Hello all,
Just ordered a rally. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of where I can get a shell that will fit the rally or what the dimensions are that I should look for. I was hoping to find a Audi Quattro or Toyota celica gt4 type of shell, maybe even a early model Mini Cooper.
Many Thanks!

Whooping cough confirmed at Wellesley High School
Wellesley High School has two confirmed cases of pertussis, or whooping cough, according to a letter sent out to parents on Wednesday by the school's nursing department.
"While there is no cause for alarm, it is important for you to have this information," the letter reads. "At this time, there are no recommendations for any other interventions among classmates or other students in the school, but parents and guardians should be aware of the symptoms of pertussis."
Pertussis is spread person to person by sneezing, coughing, and talking. It is caused by bacteria, which live in the nose, mouth and throat.
Symptoms usually take about seven to ten days to show up after exposure, according to the letter, though some people don't get sick for up to 21 days.
Pertussis can be mild to severe. It starts with cold-like symptoms, and after about two weeks, the cough gets worse. The second stage of pertussis is marked by uncontrollable coughing spells that may be followed by vomiting; this last from four to six weeks. Between spells, people appear to be well. There is usually no fever. Vaccinated children, teens and adults may have milder symptoms that seem like bronchitis, according to the letter.
Anyone concerned that their child is exhibiting these symptoms should have them tested by their primary care physician. The Wellesley Board of Health and the nurses are tracking the pertussis, so inform the school if your child has an illness.
Anyone with questions or concerns may contact:

The Guns of Indiana Jones
The guns Indiana Jones uses in the course of the film series vary from film to film, and in the case of Raiders, sometimes scene to scene, but every pistol Indiana Jones uses is indicative of the post-World War I era. All of his sidearms are early-1900s military designs and although there are a few choice moments in Raiders of the Lost Ark where he uses a semi-automatic, Indiana Jones is most often identified with the revolver.
The use of the revolver hearkens back to the Western heroes and their Colt peacemakers, a genre that helped inspire the Indiana Jones series. Until World War II, revolvers were the mainstay sidearm in most military units throughout the world and remained the sidearms of choice for police forces throughout the world well into the 1980s.
Smith and Wesson became famous for making revolvers in the 1800s, and the "hand ejector" may be considered the first "modern" style revolver. They were popular with the military in the late 1800s, early 1900s, because they could be quickly emptied and reloaded.
There were two primary revolvers used in Raiders of the Lost Ark. One was a Smith & Wesson 1917, chambered for .45 ACP from Stembridge rentals in Hollywood. The second was a Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector Model 2 (HE2) from Bapty & Co. in London. It is widely accepted that the Bapty was used in all the revolver shooting scenes.
Both guns had their barrels cut down to four inches. A distinguishing feature in recognizing one of these type guns is the slim profile checkered grips. A variant in the two Raiders hand ejectors was the S&W gold medallions inlaid in the grips. The .455 had them and the .45 ACP did not. This can most likely be attributed to an oversight in production.
Both of these pistols were sold at separate auctions a few years ago and are now in private hands, with both owners kind enough to provide details on these now-historically important revolvers.
Smith and Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd Model "Bapty"
The "Bapty" was a Hand Ejector 2nd Model with lanyard ring and a 4-inch barrel with a "Baughman-style" front ramp sight and worn blued finish. The revolver is also clearly in the .455 Eley caliber as because exposed brass cannot be seen at the back of the revolver's cylinder during the film.
Thanks to careful research by "Indy45," who will be quoted in the following descriptions, much is now known about the "Bapty," including even the smallest details.
The barrel on the "Bapty" is likely a later barrel added to the gun as there were no HE2s made with 4-inch barrels.
"A S&W 1917 muzzle wall thickness measures about .090, while the movie gun looks like .060-.070. I was able to verify on Smith-WessonForum.com that the later S&W 1950 Army and Model 22 (through 1966) had thinner walls, so Bapty cutting and installing a later barrel would explain the difference."
When the gun was photographed after auction, it was learned that the pistol was indeed a British contract revolver.
Through photographic analysis, it was learned that the "Bapty" is one of the English WWI contract guns in the s/n range 5001 to 74755 and re-blued "to cover the barrel work." The gun used .455 blanks, available since the 1930's.
The front sight, custom made from steel stock, measures 9mm (.355 inches) high, 6mm (.236 inches) wide and 2.8 cm (1.10 inches) long. The blade ramp is about .162 inches high, .086 inches wide and .537 inches long, with serrations on it's angled surface. The sight base top is .724 inches long before it slopes off to the barrel.
"The overall finish is worn with rust specs with "dings", or dents, on either side of the barrel near the frame, probably from placing the barrel in a vise, and at the flare where the cylinder pin hits the frame when closing the cylinder."
Also of note is a crossed flag British proof on the frame left side at the barrel centerline and on the right side of the frame, the S&W "Trade Mark" circular logo. Patent text on the top side of the barrel is partially covered by the front sight. The barrel left side printing says "SMITH & WESSON .455."
"All numbers on steel match the S/N 39871 except the cylinder, which means the cylinder was probably replaced long ago by Bapty. The grips are well worn checkered walnut with the gold (brass) S&W indented logo. Unknown if the right grip has the S/N penciled on the underside."
When sold at auction, the Bapty Raiders revolver was officially deactivated to be sold in compliance with current British laws. The ejector was removed and the cylinder counter-bored so a cartridge block could be welded in place. The ejector no longer functions and likely a barrel block was installed "as there looks to be a drilled and filled hole on the underside of the very front of the barrel."
Smith and Wesson 1917 "Stembridge"
Yes, there are two different revolvers in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The previously mentioned "Bapty" fired the blanks. The other, most notably seen when Indiana Jones cavalierly tosses it into his suitcase in his home, is a revolver that the production team rented from Stembridge Gun Rentals of Glendale, CA. The "Stembridge" was also used in the beginning of the movie during the Chachapoyan temple scene in Peru, filmed in Hawaii, when Indiana Jones relinquishes his gun to Belloq. This revolver is noteworthy for it's reattached banded barrel sight and a corner missing from the left grip bottom front, exposing part of the butt frame.
Thanks to meticulous research by Lee Keppler, Indy45, Indiana Bond and others, the history of the "Stembridge" is well documented. Keppler was able to rent the Raiders "Stembridge" in 1985, long before it was sold at public auction in 2007. He took detailed photos of it at the time, and the new owner was kind enough to provide additional photos and information after the sale.
The "Stembridge" is a Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd Model with a blued finish, lanyard ring and the normal 1917 5.5-inch barrel cut down to 4 inches. The first half-inch of the barrel is a band sweated over a turned down barrel. The band is not the reamed out section of the front of the cut off barrel as there is no taper to the band. The front sight is re-shaped and silver soldered to a flattened area on the band.
The "Stembridge" is a Commercial Model, as evidenced by the small circle S&W "Trade Mark" logo on the left side of the frame under the cylinder release and was chambered for .45 ACP. The grips were checkered walnut with no medallions and rounded at the top. Although the grips sometimes appear black on film, the grips were actually very dark brown as they were "well oiled." Incidentally, the ejector rod locking lug pin was actually missing on the "Stembridge."
The serial number was 172449. The barrel's left side states "S.&W. D.A.45." The barrel's right side states "SMITH & WESSON." The top of the barrel has two lines of fine print, but since the barrel was cut and the front blade re-attached with a band, the remaining visible lettering is "WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A. DEC. 17 1901 FEB 6 1906 SEP.14 1909".
The Smith & Wesson 1917 has an interesting history. S&W designed their big N Frame revolver in .44 caliber in 1908. The British Government placed a large order for about 75,000 chambered in .455 Mk II (Webley) in 1914. One of these, a Hand Ejector Model 2, turned out to be the "Bapty" shooter. At the start of World War I, Colt could not produce sufficient numbers of their 1911 .45 ACP automatic to meet U.S. Government requirements, so the U.S. asked S&W to supply large frame revolvers in .45 ACP. Since .45 ACP is rimless, the revolver's chambers were designed with an inner lip so that the cartridge would rest or "headspace" at the proper depth. But once fired, the brass was difficult to extract, as the hand-ejector had nothing to grab. S&W is credited with designing a half-moon clip that in effect provided a 'rim' for the cartridges and made loading and unloading easier.
The U.S. Government contracted with S&W for the .45 ACP U.S. Service Model of 1917, with production totaling about 163,000. The 1917s have 5.5-inch barrels, and nearly all are blued finish, although some World War II armory re-furbishes have a parkerized finish. About 25,000 1917s were also produced for the Brazilian Government in 1938. S&W continued production of the 1917 in a U.S. Commercial version after February 1, 1919 until 1946. The "Stembridge" was one of the Commercial 1917s, rare in terms of production numbers, with only about 20,000 made.
Browning Hi-Power—The Raiders Backup Weapon
Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only film in which Indy carries two pistols, though exactly where he keeps the second one throughout the film is unknown. Indy's alternate handgun in Raiders was the Browning Hi-Power (HP). The Hi-Power variant we see Indy use on screen is a Canadian made Inglis. It differs from the regular HP in that the rear sight is slightly larger and has a "hump" shape. This pistol can first be seen in the Ravenwood bar scene and later just before Katanga's ship is boarded. Like its cousin the Colt M1911, the Browning HP may be regarded as one of the most successful semi-automatic pistol designs ever produced. Not only is it still in service in large numbers, but it also has been produced at many locations in many countries. It was one of the last weapon designs produced by John Browning before his death in 1925, but it was not until 1935 that the HP was placed in production by FN at Liege, Belgium.
Within a few years of the start of production, the Browning HP had been adopted as the service pistol of several nations including Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania, and Romania. After 1940, when World War II broke out, the Belgium FN factory continued production at full capacity and produced approximately two hundred thousand pistols under Nazi occupation for the Germans, who adopted the type as the standard pistol of the Waffen-SS. These pistols were known to be subject to sabotage during manufacturing. Since introduction, FN has produced well over 1.5 million Hi-Powers, but any Hi-Power bearing Nazi proof marks must be closely examined by a competent gunsmith to determine its serviceability prior to firing. Numerous versions may be encountered, but they all fire the standard 9mm Parabellum cartridge, except for some recent models in .40 S&W.
It is said that this gun is preferred by the movie industry and may have been used in the filming of Raiders as a stand-in for a .45 because 9mm blanks are more reliable than those of .45 caliber, resulting in fewer re-takes.
The debate of Indy's automatic gun has lasted for years. It was believed to be the Colt .45, until recent discussions & evidence have concluded that it was rather, the Browning High Power.
Information provided by the Hollywood prop company shows that there were only 3 handguns rented for the filming of Temple of Doom. A Colt .38 "Official Police " with a four inch barrel, a S&W .38 with a five inch barrel and lanyard ring, and a third gun that was not used in the filming (but we will discuss later). Since these were the only guns rented to the film company it would have been impossible that the "Raiders" S&W Hand Ejector or a Colt M1917 could have been used. With this information in hand and to determine which revolver was actually used, an extensive photographic research campaign was conducted comparing screen grabs and photos of a four inch Colt "Official Police'" and a five inch S&W .38. Through this extensive research it was concluded that the handgun used by Indy and fumbled by Willy Scott was the four inch Colt OP and the handgun we see falling out of the car was the five inch S&W .38
The major identifying differences between the Colt and the S&W are:
The photographic comparison research shows that the handgun being fumbled by Willy does not have a lanyard ring or an ejector shroud, but does have grip medallions. This can be seen in the photos. Furthermore a photographic comparison of barrel lengths shows that it had a four inch barrel and not the longer five inch barrel. This evidence proves it to be the four inch Colt "Official Police".
Photographic comparisons of the handgun falling out of the car shows both a lanyard ring and a barrel shroud, no medallion, and a longer barrel. These attributes can also be seen in the photos thus point this to being the five inch S&W .38.
Both the Colt "Official Police" and the S&W .38 revolvers were very popular guns of the period. Both were used by thousands of military, police and civilians. Both these handguns were in production for decades and even now modern day versions are still being produced and used.
Now an interesting note about the third gun that was rented for filming but never used. According to the Hollywood prop house records the third gun rented was a Webley Green! That's right, the same gun we see Indy using in The Last Crusade and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The records show that the Webley Green was marked as the "Hero" gun thus was the gun that Indy was supposed to have used and then lost. This does make sense as throughout the rest of the film we see that Indy's holster is a large Webley Green holster. Why would Indy be wearing a large Webley style holster if he wasn't supposed to have a Webley Green?
So why was the smaller Colt "Official Police" used instead of the Webley. There is much speculation on this. Perhaps the film crew made a mistake and used the wrong handgun. Perhaps the Webley Green was too big for Willy Scott to handle and "fumble" easily so they decided to substitute the smaller Colt OP. We may never know!
Webley Green
For many years, it was almost considered fact that Indiana Jones' sidearm in Last Crusade was the venerable Webley Mark VI revolver, a legendary pistol used by British troops throughout World War I and ultimately seeing combat in World War II as well. The pistol also plays a prominent role in the film, Lawrence of Arabia.
However, relatively recent discoveries, thanks to the clarity of DVD images, have revealed that the pistol is actually the more rare Webley Green. The Webley Green is marginally larger than the Mark VI and has a distinctive "bird's head" grip that distinguishes it from the Mark VI, which has a squared off grip. It is a heavy hinged frame gun, originally issued in .455 caliber.
Thanks to Webley Green owner and IndyGear member Rook, Indiana Jones' Webley Green is known to be a later manufactured example.
"Indy's version is a later manufacture. The serial number is, I believe, around 11,000. There are design similarities with the Webley Mark III, and some small parts are interchangeable between them. My pistol says 'WG' ARMY Model and is chambered for .455/.476. The cylinder is slightly longer than the standard .455 cylinder found on the Webley Mark VI, so the cylinders are not [interchangeable] between these pistols. The most noticeable differences between the Mark VI and the WG are the pronounced bird's head grip and the longer grip frame with extra space in front of the trigger guard, although I have also seen WG's with a flat bottom, 'cowboy' style grip. Also, unlike the Mark VI and Mark IV, the WG trigger guard is integrated with the grip frame and is not bolted into place nor removable."
The Webley Green was supposedly manufactured from 1885 to 1912, with some models chambered for the .450/.455 "Mark I" cartridge while others, including Indy's, were chambered for the .455/.475 Mark II cartridge. Many firearms dealers refer to the Webley Green as a 'Webley 1896 W.G. Army Revolver.'
"Serial numbers, as far as I can tell, offer no clue as to when pistols manufactured and were chambered for what round. I've seen "1896" pistols chambered in .450/.455 with serial numbers as high as 21,000!"
