TaylorMade unveils RocketBladez irons to much fanfare
TaylorMade Golf made a huge splash earlier this year with the release of its RocketBallz line of clubs. The company did it again on Tuesday, unveiling its new RocketBladez irons with a marketing push so successful that the number of people trying to watch its live webcast briefly knocked TaylorMade's servers out.
TaylorMade officials are hoping the new RocketBladez and RocketBladez Tour irons are a knockout, too. The irons' signature feature is the Speed Pocket, which TaylorMade is billing as ''that little thing'' but which they believe will make these clubs the next big thing.
The Speed Pocket is a 2-millimeter-wide slot cut in the sole of the 3-iron through 7-iron that permits the face to flex farther and more easily upon impact, particularly when a golfer hits the ball low on the face. The improved flex, says TaylorMade, promotes increased Coefficient of Restitution – or springiness – up to the USGA limit for high ball speed. In fact, TaylorMade says, these irons are as hot as many drivers, and could help most golfers add two to five yards per shot.
The Speed Pocket is sealed with a specially formulated polyurethane developed by 3M that keeps grass and other debris out. More important, it dampens vibration for better, more solid feel upon impact. The Speed Pocket, combined with a shorter hosel, also helps TaylorMade to redistribute 17.5 grams of weight to lower the Center of Gravity, promoting a higher launch angle, higher peak trajectory and a steep, quick-stopping descent.
Higher-lofted clubs like the sand wedge and lob wedge don't include the Speed Pocket, but have redesigned cavities to improve their feel, and feature TaylorMade's ATV (All-Terain Versatility) sole for improved workability around the greens. In addition, these clubs come equipped with heavier steel shafts to promote better rhythm and control in shorter swings.
Careful management of the RocketBladez's face thickness, Center of Gravity location and the Speed Pocket help enlarge the effective sweet spot, which makes for more consistent shotmaking – and therefore more consistent distance gaps throughout the set.
The RocketBladez irons will be available at retail in December, and come standard with 85-gram ''Rocketfuel'' steel shafts for $799.99 per set or $899.99 per set with 65-gram ''RocketFuel'' graphite shafts.
The RocketBladez Tour irons will debut next February. They boast the same attributes as the standard RocketBladez models, but are tuned a little hotter. The heads are more compact, with a squarer toe, a thinner topline, minimal offset and a shallow cavity. There is also a slight camber on the sole, which also features what TaylorMade calls a ''tour-designed'' leading edge.

Is any one else into Micro electric helicopters??
Is any one else into Micro electric helicopters??
You bet! Had a piccolo and now I'm just waiting for my Hornet micro heli to come in the mail soon, can't wait! How about yourself?
Well I have .30 size helicopters and a electric Kalt whisper, and I am in a group thats developing a 12" diameter rotor heli at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yheli/
I am thinking about a Hornet Or a Robin. I am looking at the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
What is the going price of just the hornrt heli alone?
The hornet is about $189 and I think it is a lot better then the robin. Go to this address and into the forum for lots of good info on it. www.hornet-heli.com
Cool Thanks for the link,,, Why do you like the hornet over the Robin?
They are the same price. But the robin is in the prosses of a pitch ajustable rotor head and tail rotor.
To tell you the truth I don't know to much about the robin, the hornet to me seems to be a little better quality from what I can tell and there seems to be a lot of aftermarket parts coming out for it. I am also pretty sure there is a var. pitch head in the works for this heli to. A good thing about the hornet is it flyies good in fast forward flight from what I see on videos and I'm not to sure the robin does, I know the piccolo sure doesn't. Not putting down these helis but for me I think the hornet is the best all-round choice.
Im waiting for my Dark Knight to come in
Well I have ordered micron V2 and CX in the last 2 hours.
Let you know how they are once I get my hand on them.
How about the AH Havok or the PicooZ.....................sooper dooper micro, great first aircraft, super durable, super cheap, super fun.
Yes, I sure am into micros, mostly Blade MCX's and I have a problem I will post here. Maybe you could tell where else I might post it.
I have been flying this particular Blade MCX since July 7, 2009. I have changed out a bushel of motors, shafts, blades and gears to keep it flying. As time went on I faced and fixed some monumental TBE attacks and even added an after market enhancer that really made the ole' CMx get up and go!
For the past several weeks it has been flying beautifully! Hands off, it has been hanging in the air drifting with the room drafts. Because of the enhancer, it was almost as peppy as my MSR. It was just flying great!
A few hours ago the Blade MCX started acting up. It just wasn't responding correctly to position commands. While holding the heli in my hand I ran up the throttle control to full to see if I could see any problems. I noticed that both linear servos were moving down as a function of throttle position.
To isolate the servo motion from blade motion and thrust, I unplugged both motors. But I found that the linear servos were still being commanded by throttle position. I have a second CMX, almost as old, that does not exhibit the problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas of what it might be?
Dan Page
I believe there are more people into Micro flight than ever. It has to do with several factors; 1st, the technology is just growing in leaps and bounds(lipo batteries and head holding gyros have made it so just about anyone can learn). Secondly,the cost of the entry level units is a fraction of what it used to be. And the last reason, in my humble opinion, is a direct result of these units being so small that your average person can enjoy them inside their own homes. Better products + lower prices = more sales and more enthusiasts.
I like to point out to my customers that an R/C helicopter doesn't have to have the possibility of death or permanent disfigurement to be enjoyable. Just for the record, I enjoy flying my SR120 in my store as much as I enjoy flying my T-REX 450 outside!! I can't wait to try a collective pitch sub-micro inside I may never fly outside again............Just kidding......but not much.lol

Micro helis are a blast, I enjoy having the dog go crazy when I am flying mine in the house.
I have 2 s107 micro helicopters that I use indoor since my big one is only for outdoor. I find that the s107 is one of the best if not the best heli to fly considering the cheap price they are. The can withstand a lots of crashes without damages if I compare it to my big one. On the big one a single crash can be fatal
I have nano cpx. its amazing.

We Chat With Chef Edi Frauneder of Seasonal, Edi & the Wolf, and The Third Man
"In New York it doesn't matter where you're from, if you're young, or if you're inexperienced. People are interested in what you do and how you do it, and if they like it you will succeed."
Chef Eduard Frauneder and partner Wolfgang Ban made their mark in the New York food scene with their Michelin-starred fine-dining menu at Seasonal, where they focus on interpretations of classic Austrian dishes and a solid wine list. Farther downtown and tucked away on Avenue C, Edi and the Wolf offers a comforting, accessible menu. And now, just down the block, the recently opened Third Man pumps out "high-octane" cocktails and potently paired bites.
What is consistent among the three establishments is the dedication to top-notch hospitality. Community means something to Frauneder, and when we met at The Third Man, that familial aspect was evident; in Wolfgang joining and offering his thoughts, in Kasia Krupinska's attention to detail as she built cocktails, and in the constant coming and going of current and former employees. After the interview and shots were done, we lingered at over the cocktails and plates, the hospitable energy of captains, crew and the intimate space inviting all to "just be."
Before I start with my questions, is there anything you've wanted to express recently that you haven't gotten to? It's so recent, the flood that happened on Avenue C during Sandy, and nobody really went into detail on what restaurants had to go through. Even though twelve weeks have passed, we should never underestimate that impact. We're going to see more impact, more things to come. People struggling is just the beginning. Edi is a small restaurant so we had small problems. But bigger places that have been affected more heavily will continue to have a rough, rough time.
How long were you closed? Everybody really pulled together, so we reopened within four days at Edi. Was it perfect? No. But were we open? Yes. People were very forgiving, because they saw the effort that went into that week to turn this puppy around.
What surprised you the most of the impact on your community here? Many New Yorkers don't quite understand still the severity... They have no clue—no clue. The lasting lesson for everyone should be that we are all vulnerable, and we should believe in global warming.
The other lesson I brought with me is that during times of crisis you really see people's character. Some people surprised me in a very positive way, and there were some really weak minds that broke first. I saw both. You see the true nature of people in times like that; who keeps it cool, who keeps it real, and who doesn't.
You live around the corner here, too. Why choose this neighborhood to plant yourself? It's really European and homey here. It still has an edge to it, and even though it's been gentrifying over the years, the gentrification is not as forceful as it has been in other parts of the Village. Plus we're small operators; it makes sense with our boutique-y product to find a space that fits our needs.
Most importantly, I know the neighborhood—I know the people on the street. You hear, "this was fantastic yesterday, or "oh, man, you were so slammed yesterday I didn't even come in," and so on and so forth. And if there's a problem, like for instance with the flood, you see the neighborhood holding together. There's way more understanding here than other parts of New York.
So why New York in general? Wolfgang and I started working together 11 years ago, and we always want to do more things, and other things, and different things. And that's why we're in New York: in New York it doesn't matter where you're from, if you're young, or if you're inexperienced. People are interested in what you do and how you do it, and if they like it you will succeed. We always believed in consistent quality in all we do—the food, cocktails, design, and hospitality in all our places. And we also want people to be transported to how we do things in Austria.
How did that eventually translate into your first menu at Seasonal? I think we found at Seasonal the way we feel Viennese cooking should be interpreted abroad.
Do your dishes play to the setting of New York specifically in their interpretations? Produce and protein-wise, absolutely. Importing stupid stuff from other countries doesn't make sense from various perspectives. We believe in cooking within a certain radius and with the seasons.
And do you feel like you succeeded? I think ultimately at all our places we're "cooking for others," not ourselves. We believe in feedback from our diners about what they want us to be. You have to have integrity and your own idea of what your place is supposed to be, but you should always listen to what others are saying.
Seasonal is a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant. What does the menu at Edi and the Wolf do for you? It's very comforting with some cornerstones of Viennese cuisine present—spatzle, schnitzel, pork belly, pickled vegetables. We wanted to keep it simple—life is complicated enough; we cook simply so people can understand it.
Personally, does the kind of food at Seasonal or Edi call to you more? Everything has a time and a place. We don't have a favorite child. Right now all the attention is going into The Third Man because it's the youngest born, but apart from that I have no preferences.
At The Third Man the cocktails take center stage. How did that affect planning the menu? The food menu here is bold—bold flavors to go with high-octane beverages. You can't go too fragile on the food notes, so it's the best of Edi reinterpreted here.
It's a block from Edi; how does that contribute? A regular bar will never have the toys the kitchen has, or the storage facility, or the regular vegetable and fruit supply. There are so many advantages where you can cross-utilize and find many synergies. I was throwing a pickling juice at Edi away; now we use it here in the bourbon cocktail and people love it.
Does that tamper the high-octane aspect of the cocktails to help slow down the affects? When you go to a cocktail bar like this you have three cocktails and you're done for the night. So we tune them a little bit down—not all of them, some want high-octane drinks—but there should be a way to balance cocktails.
Do you feel like you have a bit more control since both the cocktail and food menus here are rather small? We have a philosophy—"less is more." If you want to do it right you start small and grow. We have six or seven cocktails on the menu for now. This is already morphing, because in the beginning the staff was more protective of their cocktails, their "children." They were like, "ah, we don't want wine and beer on the list." After the first night they said, "please put wine and beer on the list because then we can manage with the volume we have." So in the next few weeks there will be more detailing and changes. And that's what makes it intimate—you tweak it to the needs of the customer.
You've tossed a lot out today about community and family, calling your restaurants and even the cocktails your "children." What brings you the most joy in what you do? I get the most joy with working with the people I spend every day with. I learn every day from them. And this is what I tell them: anybody can buy a chair, a piece of wood, and some mirrors and open a bar. Anybody can do that. But to add depth and a real idea behind it and to bring it alive is, in my opinion, an art. Do we have to make sacrifices? Absolutely. Do our personal lives suffer? Absolutely. But you grow and try to make it better and better and better every day. The biggest capital any hospitality business has is the people that work there. This is where I get my motivation.

Maynard James Keenan
Straight up, I was frightened. I mean, this guy just does not like talking to the press.
Maynard James Keenan, front man for Tool and A Perfect Circle, has always proved to be elusive to me as an artist. I've appreciated, more than anything, his reticence to bask in the warm white glow of the floodlights that seem fixated on our rock gods. On one extreme you have the Bonos of the world, cavorting in front of snapping cameras and stumping for issues that they appear to be wholly in favor of and asking for your help in supporting them. And then on the furthest point on that spectrum, you have people like Maynard. Someone who eschews publicity, talking, communicating with a press that just needs another interview, another headline to get through the day. Guys like him, artists like him, it is all about the music, the creation of it. And he doesn't need a ounce of your soy ink, thank you very much, to promote it because he has legions at his back who are there willing to find it and embrace it.
One of the things that Maynard was doing with the time afforded to someone who doesn't have to check into a 9 to 5 job everyday and has enough disposable income to make smart decisions about what he needs to do to support his way of living is...
...He decided to grow some grapes.
Specifically, he bought some land in northern Arizona and started to try his hand at wine making. Normally, the swill that those of us who live in Arizona get from the grapes that grow here is high grade enough that it won't completely blind you, but Maynard was on a mission to do for wine what he did to music: make it wholly his own. Thus, in the new documentary, Blood Into Wine, Maynard's struggles and triumphs to bring a great bottle of wine to the masses is put to film and it couldn't be a more enjoyable piece of moviemaking. Stars like Patton Oswalt, Milla Jovovich, Bob Odenkirk, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric fame, all pop up on screen at some time to make it one of the more entertaining looks about what it takes to turn soil into one of the best varieties of wine that Arizona has ever produced. (Never mind that it's coming from a man who would just as soon like to be back on his land, working it!)
There's a lot to be said of a man who can make something with his hands, and so I had some time to talk to the ever private Keenan about what triggered the impulse to turn enjoyment into a full-blown operation.
CHRISTOPHER STIPP: Maynard, it's nice to be able to speak with you this afternoon. Thanks for doing it.
MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN: Not a problem.
CS: Blood Into Wine was an amazing documentary and it's one of the more entertaining films that I've seen in the past year.
KEENAN: Thank you.
CS: I'd like to lead off by asking you when this passion for wine enjoyment went from drinking it to producing it? When did you say, "This is something I want to make with my own hands?"
Keenan: I'm not totally sure what triggered that. It's just the way I am I guess, for lack of better words. I think I'm just the kind of guy that if I can do it myself, I'm going to try to. I think there's a lot of things that you can get into that you don't need to be a Michael Jordan to do. I'm not going to make it into the NBA, to be honest, but as far as wine making or making fantastic raviolis or tortellini or making a film, it's something you can do. Just takes focus and mind power.
CS: And certainly living in Arizona doesn't help the cause. I've read that some people told you it's a fool's errands to try and make wine in such a location. What made you believe Arizona could produce something of relatively high quality?
KEENAN: The trick to betting on horses and going to Vegas is to not take risks. The trick is to eliminate the risk and I guess the point is that there were grapes grown in Arizona. There was wine made in Arizona but prohibition, World War I and II basically interrupted that process. So, the trick we have up our sleeve is that we know there were grapes grown there before. We don't necessarily share too much of that information because we want to make it look like we just dove off a cliff into darkness and just found our way. But, truth be told, there were people that came before us. Although we have no notes to go on as to what their experiences were, we knew that at least part of it was possible.
CS: And you've obviously expressed your process of trying to see if a technique works and, if not, trying something else. It seems that it literally has been a process for you. I assume it's always a moving target of trying to reach perfection, if there is such a thing in wine making, so how did you move beyond frustrations in your initial stages to keep slugging it out, that you knew you could do this? What kept you going?
KEENAN: The investment. You put so much time and money into it. What are you going to do? Walk away before you actually see what happens? There is just no way I'm going to walk away from this. My entire life is poured into this. Everything I have earned is poured into the ground here.
CS: How has that been with [vineyard partner] Eric Glomski as sort of a teacher? Especially in the initial stages and even now as you do this?
KEENAN: He's very patient. He's very informative and very patient. As much fumbling as I do and as much stammering as I do, he definitely gets me back on track and lets me make mistakes and he's a good teacher and a good mentor and lets me take a bunch of risks as well. I get to watch him take risks as well.
CS: What has been the satisfaction? Obviously it hasn't been all pain – the enjoyment of creating the bottles that are now out there – so what were some of your initial joys in this process?
KEENAN: Watching the vines come up in the spring and actually having them come up wondering if they would survive the winter. You just don't know. So, when they do, every little step is exciting. Every time the vines push their buds in the spring and every time they actually set fruit and make it through the hail and make it through the monsoons - it's just exciting every time you reach that little hurdle, that little struggle.
CS: And one of the struggles, one that people don't realize, is the immense cold that we get here. That cold obviously is in the higher elevations but was that something that would have to be factored in later in the process?
Keenan: Not at all. We got burned pretty hard on a couple sites because of that early on and we have since corrected our mistake – or so we think. Time will tell. And on some of those sites we will have grapes next year so we'll be able to tell. That's the other thing, we don't know what the quality of the grapes those sites will produce. To get to the point that we actually get grapes and say, "These are awful." But I would guess they are not going to be awful. I won't let them get to be.
CS: Explain to me, as someone who doesn't quite understand the amount of time that is required to fully manage this on a daily basis; does it require day-to-day attention or are there patches of time when nature is just doing its thing and there is nothing anybody can do?
KEENAN: It depends on the size and layout of your vineyard. I'm sure there are areas, like some of the places in California, the vineyards are really easy to farm and relatively flat or sloped lands that they can use tractors to keep the leaves down and make sure things are taken care of that machines can handle. It's super easy.
Both of our sites have to be hand-farmed. So what it does is we have less people on payroll but they work more. Every time they go from one site to another – you are keeping up with each site and it takes a week to get all the way around. You are starting over with the next of whatever is going on. Whether we are pruning, whether we are dropping fruit. There is always something going on and we are small enough crew to be working full time.
CS: Has it been spiritually satisfying to you, this whole process?
KEENAN: Yes. Planting anything and watching it grow or watching it not grow... it definitely affects you on some level always.
CS: To that point, the personal satisfaction you get out of doing this project and moving to the documentary, what convinced you that this story of your vineyard would be good enough to tell in a feature length film?
KEENAN: I don't know. I have no idea. I just thought we needed to tell the story. We are in one of the highest foreclosure states in the U.S., to say nothing about unemployment, we are in dire straits. A story needs to be told and I'm willing to tell mine if it will help us.
CS: One of the things I didn't see too much of in the documentary, but certainly things you have touched upon when doing interviews for this film, concerns the issue of water rights in Arizona. As a wine maker, does that affect you and the way you grow your grapes?
KEENAN: Basically, I had to secure several pieces of land that had water rights attached to them that were grandfathered in. To just take a piece of land that has no water and has no rights to water, you just can't put a vineyard in. You have to find the missing piece – the most important piece – which is the water. And that land is not cheap.
CS: Do those rights have a price tag attached to them?
KEENAN: Oh yeah. If you have a two acre piece of land that has water rights and a two acre piece that doesn't have water rights – I guarantee you that the one that has water rights will be three times more expensive than the one that doesn't.
CS: Is it frustrating on your part to get what you need to make it sustainable? Or is it a constant year-in-year-out struggle?
KEENAN: It's a constant battle. And the largest battle is from people who don't understand how much this is going to benefit the community. People that are resistant to change and don't realize that the house is on fire and we can't be quibbling over whether or not you wiped your feet or not.
CS: Does it just stem from ignorance?
KEENAN: Fear of the unknown. It's the same argument. If you have ever been to a council meeting or a planning meeting there's this term called NIMBY. It's people who are really into what you are doing, but just not in my back yard. They just don't understand what this is. There's some resistance and an education process. But I'm confident that once this settles in and once things are happening, people will be embarrassed that they were resistant.
CS: The process, everything that you have gone through, and I'm amazed that the problems you've faced with the Alcohol, Tobacco Tax and Trade bureau just regarding the physical label on your wine – is it just one thing after another? Is it everyone looking for their own piece of the pie?
Keenan: The TTB isn't the piece of the pie, it's that age old bureaucratic red tape guy in an office and hasn't had to go out and do it himself. They are just forcing a rule and their interpretation of the rule. That's the worst part when it comes down to stuff like that. It's not necessarily a cut and dry thing. It's someone's interpretation of an idea. And so, when anyone is as powerless as they are sitting behind a desk in their own personal life, whatever….you've come across it, like a meter maid giving you a hard time, because of the power they have to write you a ticket. The same thing. They are going to flex.
CS: As an artist who is primarily known for making music, how do you bring your own sense of creativity – and obviously this is a learning process for you about what you can and can't do to these grapes to make them your own – but how do your own sensibilities inform the way you make your wine? Where is your own creativity allowed to shine in this process?
KEENAN: Well, how I tell the story. Whatever grape is going into a bottle whatever that final blends ends up being, now it's time to name it because I'm the storyteller and artist.
I will then listen to what's coming from the bottle, what's coming from the glass, and I'll construct a story that will best describe this larger idea.
CS: Thank you for talking with me today.

NORFOLK — After a sloppy first half, Kecoughtan had to feel somewhat fortunate to be down only six points at the break. Especially with the Warriors' one-two punch of Rodney Bullock and Greg Alexander a combined 1-of-11 from the field.
Kecoughtan came to in the second half, and Bullock and Alexander were there to lead a 58-48 win over King's Fork in the Eastern Region semifinals Sunday night at Scope. The Warriors (25-4) advanced to Monday night's championship game and clinched a spot in the Group AAA tournament for the second year in a row.
After being held to four points in the first half, all on free throws, Bullock finished with 18 along with 15 rebounds. Alexander, only 1-of-7 from the field in the first half, hit two big 3-pointers to start the third quarter and finished with 16.
"A six-point lead against this team is not enough," Alexander said. "I wasn't worried at all. My shot will be there and Rajay will get in there. Nobody can guard him. I wasn't worried at all."
Kecoughtan will face Great Bridge, a 67-60 winner over Hampton in the first semifinal, Monday night at 8 for the region title.
After trailing 27-21 at halftime, the Warriors outscored King's Fork 37-21 the rest of the way. Kecoughtan went 17-of-19 from the free throw line in the second half.
The game was nearly 19 minutes old before Kecoughtan took its first lead, which came on a pair of free throws by Bullock to make it 30-29. Alexander began heating up, and his 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 35-30 lead with 2:19 left in the quarter.
"They played hard and they gave us their best shot in the first half," Bullock said. "Then we gave them our best shot."
Kecoughtan coach Ivan Thomas knew his team was never in trouble.
"I wasn't worried at halftime because what did they have, 27 points?" he said. "That's not enough, not when you have Rodney Bullock and Greg Alexander."
Kecoughtan began the game as if the ball were a bar of soap the shower — six turnovers in its first eight possessions. Roderick Parrett's free throw gave King's Fork a 9-2 lead 2 ½ minutes in.
A basket in the post by Kaelin Poe off a nice feed from Will Askew cut the Bulldogs' lead to 17-16 with 3:20 left in the half. But King's Fork went on a 6-0 run and pushed the lead back to seven on Akanni White's 3 from the top of the key.
As he did in Thursday night's quarterfinals, Lawrence Williams came off the bench to inject some life into the Warriors with seven points in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Bullock went the first 16 minutes with only four points, all on free throws. Alexander's only basket was a 3-pointer with 1:06 left in the half.
KING'S FORK (23-5): Parrett 11, White 11, Taylor 12, Smith 8, McDowney 2, Ralph 4. Totals: 17 12-19 48.
KECOUGHTAN (25-4): Bullock 18, Haskett 4, Alexander 16, Poe 3, Lipscomb 2, Askew 2, Williams 13. Totals: 16 22-25 58.
King's Fork;13;14;7;14--48
3-pointers: King's Fork 2 (White 1, Taylor 1), Kecoughtan 4 (Alexander 3, Williams 1).

This portrait of Odin illustrates the importance of always controlling your image rights. Not looking like such a tough cookie, now, eh, Odin? Maybe choosing Clooney to play you wasn't the best idea…
Over half a shandy the other day we got talking: which of the Nordic gods was the toughest? Was it Odin, the King of it all, with his one eye and his many talents? Was it Thor, with his big roars across the sky, throwing his hammer in all directions and making thunder and lightning (very, very frightning. Mamma Mia). Or was it Loki, because he was so sneaky and clever and outsmarted them all?
Here are some examples of cool toughness from Valhalla:
The top dude. God of gods. He rules Valhalla, where all good Vikings woudl end up after the life on Earth. He had one eye, which made him a bit like a pirate, except the eye was in the middle of his head. He had ravens on his shoulder who';d fly out an return and report back on stuff happening in the world (they where the internet of the Valhalla days, really).
The God of mischief and trickery. All the Vikings would blame Loki if things didn't go his way. He was handsome, like Sebastian, and used it to his advantadge. He killed Balder, the god of the Light and Joy. Seriously, who kills off Joy and Light, except maybe the Grinch? Tough cookie.
She was the goddess of the dead. Cool name. Odin, the god of gods, threw Hel into Niflheim itself also known as Hel, where she received full authority, respect and power. Guess where our word for Hell comes from? Oh yes. Tough as nails.
The god of thunder. He had a hammer that woudl always come back to him, nomatter what. He made Thunder and lightning and he gave name to the day Thursday. He was also a God of War and he was ginger. Well, yes, he was. He was a gingernut. A bit like Prince Harry but with a hammer and some goats and a chariot. Harry has no chariot, although he might have goats, we don't know.
The Valkyries
Warrior maidens who attended to Odin. The biatches of Valhalla, really, these lady Gods also conducted slain warriors to the halls of Odin, for their judgement on how they fought.
the hall of slain heroes ruled by Odin. The hall had a total of 540 doors, each allowing up to 800 soldiers to walk. The roof was made of decorated Norse shields. Okay, so Valhalla is probably not going to win for toughness, but it was a pretty cool place.
Who do you think is toughest of the old Norse Gods?

In web cartoon turned comic book Xombie, a sentient zombie protects a lone human girl from the mindless undead. Now DreamWorks is in talks to bring Xombie to the big screen, along with Star Trek's Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
In Xombie, a zombie named Dirge has somehow managed to retain his human consciousness, though not his memories, and tries to live a quietly life with his undead dog Cerberus until he eventually decays into oblivion. But when a human girl, Zoe, falls from a helicopter into zombie-infested territory, Dirge takes it upon himself to perform one last good deed before he falls apart and guide her to the city of human survivors. The task puts them both in the path of a millennia-old Egyptian mummy woman and a reanimated Velociraptor. Xombie creator James Farr began the story as an online Flash cartoon, then penned a comic book sequel, Xombie: Reanimated.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Farr, a homicide detective, is currently in negotiations with DreamWorks for the rights to Xombie, with Kurtzman and Orci in talks in produce. No word yet on whether the pair could write the screenplay as well, nor whether the planned adaptation would be animated or live-action.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Following the new iPad announcement and record earnings, the news flow from Apple ( AAPL - Get Report) has been light. A litigation settlement and rumors of a lower-priced MacBook could change that. Proview, a Chinese electronics company, has been in litigation with Apple over the "iPad" moniker in China, and reports are that the two companies are now talking about a settlement, although the two sides remain far apart on what Apple is willing to offer. Proview first made the accusations in February.
Apple has not brought the iPad to China, although sales of its iPhone in China are performing exceedingly well, the company said in its second-quarter earnings release. While the rumor mill focuses on the iPhone heading into an October launch, there is talk of a price cut for Apple's MacBook Air, which is expected to be refreshed sometime this summer. Tech blog Digitimes noted Apple will cut the price of its MacBook Air to $799 from $999, citing "sources from the upstream supply chain." Shares of Apple were lower in Monday trading, off 0.23% to $563.96. Interested in more on Apple? See TheStreet Ratings' report card for this stock. Check out our new tech blog, Tech Trends.

I believe timing belts are of the devil. I like my cars with good old fashioned timing chains, like God intended. I've always believed this, and my faith was reinforced by personal trials I faced in the early 1990s.
I owned a 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC RT. For those unfamiliar with the line of cars in the pic above, it would be similar to the one on the left. I bought mine used in 1993 and it was fairly low mileage when I got it. The car had a dual overhead cam with a timing belt that was about a mile long. Up to that point I thought I had lived a fairly good life - and had done nothing to deserve the persecution I was about to face.
Shortly after I bought the car, I was in stop-and-go traffic. When I went to go, the engine died. The car was still under warranty so I had it towed to a nearby dealer who quickly diagnosed the problem as a broken timing belt and replaced it. No charge.
A fluke? No.
4,000 miles later, it happened again. I assumed that the dealer had somehow done something wrong while replacing the previous timing belt. The dealer said the problem was a broken timing belt. They repaired it under warranty and said I could come get it. No charge. They did not have any idea why the belt had broken a second time but they did not seem concerned about it. Clearly, they were adherents to the Cult of Timing Belts.
4,000 miles later I was driving north on I-75 in my Daytona and all of a sudden the engine died. I quickly depressed the clutch and looked at the gauges. The tach was at zero and I was coasting at 50 MPH. What the heck: I made sure I was still in 5th gear and let the clutch out to see if I could kick the engine and make it restart. As if it might not be the timing belt.
The engine did not start and the tach did not jump. Rolling along at 40 MPH in 5th gear, the tach reading was zero RPM. I'm sure someone in the readership can tell me where this tach got its reading from but clearly the engine needed to have its timing belt intact to do that. I took it out of gear and coasted to the side of the road. I called the dealer and told them to come get me again. From where I was sitting, I could see the then recently-opened Chrysler World HQ, where an accountant was probably being promoted for having figured out how to save a few bucks by using a timing belt rather than a timing chain on my car.
I rode to the dealership with the tow truck driver and found the service writer who had written me up on both previous visits. I showed him the previous work orders and reminded him that I had been in twice recently with the same complaint. He seemed to understand. We went over to his work station and he printed out a Repair Order: "Towed in. No Crank. No Start."
Again, I am not a mechanic but the car did crank. It wouldn't start but that was because it had a broken timing belt. So, I asked him to write that on the Repair Order. "I did," he lied to me. I suspected his dark master forbade him from writing the words Timing Belt on the repair order.
"I can read. It says, 'No Crank. No Start.'" I wanted him to know I was on to him. "The car will crank."
"Same thing. The mechanic will know what this means." I noticed his pupils were not round, but slits, like a serpent's. Or maybe my memory embellished some facts over the years? It's hard to say. Those were trying times.
"Humor me. Write 'Broken Timing Belt' on the repair order."
The service adviser glared at me; his eye slits narrowed. He picked up the Repair Order and handed it toward me without writing anything more on it.
I refused to take it. "You and I both know it's the timing belt. I am not taking that until you write 'Broken Timing Belt' on it."
He pulled out his pen and scribbled, "Customer thinks it's a broken timing belt," and then handed it to me. Apparently, by blaming the words on me, he was off the hook.
The next day someone from the dealer called to tell me they had replaced the broken timing belt again. No charge. I was now convinced the car had broken timing belts on its previous owner every 4,000 miles and had been traded in because that owner was sick of taking it back to the dealer. Now, I would be dealing with it every 4,000 miles unless I took similar action.
I called the attorney I dealt with at Chrysler and told him what I just told you. Since I bought the car used it did not qualify as a lemon under Michigan law. But, as I pointed out to the attorney, Chrysler was going to spend a fortune replacing that belt every 4,000 miles with how much I drove. We reached an agreement and Chrysler gave me a "coupon" good towards the purchase of any Chrysler product. At the time, I really wanted to buy a Jeep. I found one I liked, negotiated a good deal for my timing-belt-equipped trade and then I whipped out the coupon to help defray the cost and drove off in my new Jeep.
And Yes, the dealer knew the Daytona had the timing belt problem. I told them and it was written on the coupon. Were the next owners told of the problem? I'm sure they were. Ha! Of course they weren't. But that's someone else's problem, right? As for me, every vehicle I have owned since then has had a timing chain, not a belt. And the last one was running strong when I sold it with 241,000 miles. I'll stick with my timing chains. You can go peddle your devil-belts to someone else.

I get this once in awhile and I don't get it. I can never get to the middle and find out what's there and I never seem to get it on a map with LEMISI. Any ideas?
APHEELSIK could poison the water and force it to come out.
IMAWAL could make a bridge.
If a second, visible monster were there, you could WEYTWUT with it.
BYSSEPS or PISORF could let you knock over a tree and make a bridge.
You could CYDSTEPP over a gap.
Or hey, maybe BURNDAYRAZ could boil the water out of the lake.

As the U.S. Congress becomes officially involved in the debate on gun violence and gun control, people are lining up on both sides of the intertwined issues, saying something must be done to protect the citizenry and the Second Amendment from attack.
Several governors and local government officials sounded off on their approach well before President Obama announced his anti-gun violence package last week.
Obama's package includes measures that would institute a ban on new assault weapons, impose limits on high-capacity magazines and expand criminal background checks to include all gun sales, close a longstanding loophole letting buyers avoid such checks by purchasing weapons at gun shows or from private sellers. Obama also proposed tougher gun-trafficking laws to crack down on the spread of weapons in the United States.
In addition, Obama signed 23 executive orders, which don't need congressional approval. Most of the orders sought to fill holes in law enforcement, mental health and school safety -- allowing federal research into gun violence, pressing agencies to submit more mental-health records to the existing background-check system and providing funding for schools to hire law enforcement officers.
Lawmakers in Wyoming told the Obama administration they wouldn't even consider federal gun control legislation, Stateline.org reported.
State Rep. Kendell Kroeker introduced a bill that would block any federal restrictions on guns. Under the legislation, "any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on firearms in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming."
There's a hefty penalty to: Any agent caught trying to enforce federal gun laws would be guilty of a felony, punishable by as long as five years in prison and a fine as much as $5,000.
"I think that it's necessary when the federal government violates our rights in the Constitution we have to act," Kroeker, a Republican, told the Washington Examiner. "I don't think this is controversial in Wyoming at all. I fully expect this bill to pass."
However, an analyst told The Huffington Post the Wyoming bill could have legal issues because it likely would butt against the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, which guarantees that an enforceable federal law trumps a conflicting state law.
In Texas, a state representative said he will introduce legislation that would make it illegal to enforce a federal gun ban, saying the Supremacy Clause needed to be challenged, WAOI-AM, San Antonio, reported.
"At some point there needs to be a showdown between the states and the federal government over the Supremacy Clause," Republican Rep. Steve Toth said. "It is our responsibility to push back when those laws are infringed by King Obama."
In Albany, N.Y., meanwhile, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law a package of gun-control measures that expand a ban on assault weapons and make New York the first state to change its laws in response to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where Adam Lanza killed 20 school children and six adults before killing himself last month. Before he went to the school, Lanza killed his mother at the home they shared.
"I am proud to be part of this government, not just because New York has the first bill, but because New York has the best bill," the governor, a Democrat, said during news conference last week. "I'm proud to be a New Yorker because New York is doing something -- because we are fighting back."
Cuomo signed the bill less than an hour after the State Assembly approved it 104-43 on the second full day of the 2013 legislative session, The New York Times reported. The Senate, which had been resistant to restrictive gun laws in the past, approved the measure 43-18 the previous day.
In Connecticut, lawmakers formed a task force on the Newtown massacre and said they hoped to pass legislation by the end of February, but say they don't feel pressured by New York's rapid response, The Hartford Courant reported.
"I think that taking quick action is important, but taking smart action is more important," said House Speaker J. Brendan Sharkey, a Democrat, said.
Connecticut's task force will look at an array of issues, including gun-control measures and legislation that would increase school security and improve the state's mental health system.
New York's actions -- widely criticized by the National Rifle Association and others -- didn't stop with lawmakers. State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said that he would freeze investments by the state's pension fund in firearm manufacturers.
Other public pension funds also are taking a second look at their investments in firearms manufacturers.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he directed Comptroller Amer Ahmad to get a portfolio analysis from the five city employee pension and retirement funds to determine if they hold underlying debt or equity positions in companies that manufacture or sell assault weapons.
"We cannot support or invest in companies that profit from the proliferation of assault weapons and the violence these guns bring to our communities," Emanuel said in a statement.
In California, the state Teachers Retirement System, one of the largest in the nation, voted to begin formally divesting its firearms holdings, The New York Times reported.
"This [the Newtown shootings] latest incident, which occurred at a school and involved fellow educators and the children we cherish, is a tipping point" for the retirement system, Harry Keiley, chairman of the fund's investment committee, said.
ABC News reported Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley announced he would seek legislation characterized as among the country's broadest responses to the Newtown massacre.
Among the proposals would be a requirement for most prospective gun buyers to provide fingerprints to state police, undergo a background check and complete a mandatory gun-safety course before getting an owner's permit. The package also would address high-capacity magazines by cutting the maximum number of bullets allowed in clips to 10.
"It makes absolutely no sense when you look at the level of carnage on our streets from guns to blame every factor but guns," O'Malley said recently during a gun violence summit in Baltimore. "If we are to have a comprehensive approach then let us be comprehensive."
The bill would seek to ban gun sales to residents with mental illness who have exhibited violent tendencies. It also would allocate a $25 million fund to improve school safety through measures such as automatic locking doors and mandatory guest check-in requirements, among others items.
A recent ABC News-Washington Post poll indicated 54 percent of Americans said they favor stricter gun laws, representing a five-year high but not appreciably any different than in recent years. Poll results also indicated 59 percent of Americans said they support a ban on high-capacity ammunition clips.
Delaware, too, is considering gun violence measures, including requiring background checks for private firearms sales; banning the sale, manufacture, delivery and unlawful possession of military-style assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, and banning possession of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, National Public Radio reported.
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a Democrat, said his proposals aren't an attack on the Second Amendment.
"This is not ... any kind of attack on the Second Amendment. I support the Second Amendment. And that's not what this is about," Markell said. "We can have a debate about these proposals. This is not a debate about the Second Amendment."
In Colorado, where a man shot and killed 12 people and wounded 58 at an Aurora movie theater in July, state Democrats expressed optimism in the measures they're likely to propose that will seek to strengthen gun laws, The Denver Post said. Among the proposals are across-the-board background checks on the sale of all guns and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
Gov. John Hickenlooper said he supports background checks and called for better mental health treatment for young adults, something the president also is seeking.
In Arizona, Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican and Second Amendment supporter, said she was receptive to addressing school-safety issues.
Asked by The Arizona Republic about whether her position on gun control had changed since the Newtown shootings, Brewer said: "Well, I think that gun control has been an issue that's been on the top of a lot of people's minds after that horrible tragedy that took place in Connecticut."
"I've been listening and receiving a lot of different papers and information in regards to what people believe the solutions are," she said. "So, it will be something I'm sure will be addressed in the Legislature, and my ears are all open, and I'm certainly anxious, if there's a solution, that we get it done."
Brewer told KNAU public radio, Flagstaff, she was "not a proponent of gun control. I'm a proponent of safe areas and certainly safe schools."
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne proposed allowing each school to train and arm its principal or another staff member. The state's existing law allows only trained police officers to carry firearms on school campuses.
Brewer said all sides on the issue could agree the safety of schools and other public areas must be assured.
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's gun control," Brewer said. "It means that we have to come up with solutions."
Arizona's House Minority Leader Chad Campbell, a Democrat, said he will introduce a package to address mental health, funding for more school resource officers and gun rules.
He said his proposals would require schools "to undergo a planning and threat-assessment process, and then, they can identify what they need. After talking to schools, not every school needs an SRO [school resource officer]."
Lawmakers in California took a different tack, introducing legislation that would require people buying ammunition to show identification and would require sellers to report ammo sales to the state Justice Department, KNBC-TV, Los Angeles, said.
"It is easier in California to buy bullets than to buy alcohol, cigarettes or Sudafed cold medicine," said Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, the bill's sponsor.
Saying he didn't think such measures would work, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, introduced a proposal that would require at least one anonymous person at each school armed.
"We haven't had a single hijacking since 9/11, and I think it is in large part due to the presence of air marshals," Donnelly said. "So why don't we have a school marshals program?"
Several law enforcement officials say they won't enforce what they consider "unconstitutional" gun control laws, should any be passed.
Linn County, Ore., Sheriff Tim Mueller said he won't enforce any federal regulation "offending the constitutional rights of my citizens" nor would he allow federal officers to come to his county to enforce such laws, CNN said.
Sheriff Denny Peyman of Jackson County, Ky., also said he would ignore any similar directive from the administration, but later backtracked.
"If it goes through Congress, if it becomes law, if it goes that way, yeah, I'd enforce the law," he said.
Pine County, Minn., Sheriff Robin Cole said he would consider any new federal regulation on guns to be illegal and would "refuse to carry it out," the Grand Forks Herald reported.
"We will not enforce that," Cole said of any possible federal law that could result in the confiscation of firearms.
Cole's position, outlined originally in a letter, was in response to a constituent who had expressed concern about new gun laws.
Hennepin County, Minn., Sheriff Richard Stanek, who was in a group of law enforcement officers who met with Vice President Joe Biden's gun violence task force, said Obama's plans to improve and expand national crime-information databases and include court actions involving mental health proceedings were important, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
"We're very pleased that he incorporated and heard us on the mental-health issue," Stanek said.
Stanek said he hopes Obama would take advantage of his bully pulpit to get more states involved in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, launched by the FBI in late 1998. Currently only about 12 states contribute data to it, the sheriff said.
"But that's the one thing law enforcement relies on when we do background checks," Stanek said.
A recent Pew Research Center poll indicated 51 percent of Americans said they thought it was more important to have curbs on gun ownership than protest gun rights; 45 percent expressed the opposite view.

Rainy day weekends command naps
and she is more than willing to oblige
once the clock shows 2 or 3
or after lunch, when her insides are full and warm.
She bids farewell to the others, and calls up to her bed
"I'm on my way!"
gathering up her book as she climbs to her room,
her quiet heaven.
She slips off her daily clothes, folds them neatly and places them
on a nearby chair, for later,
then reaches under her pillow for the softest nightshirt,
stretching her arms as the comforting worn cotton falls around her shoulders.
Pulling the covers away, she wants to jump in,
but won't disturb the cat, already blissfully asleep.
Carefully, precisely, she climbs in, and lays down,
opening her book to the part where the boy and his horse
ride into the ocean and swim with the dolphins.
While she reads
her feet rub against each other rhythmically
remnants of a child's self-soothing habit
and after two or three pages
her eyes begin to grow heavy
and the rain calls her to sleep
the book falls away,
and the breeze lifts the curtains.
The rains sing and soothe
as she swims away.

A consortium of 15 leading telecommunications operators, vendors, research centres and academic institutions have launched "MiWaveS" (Millimeter-Wave Small Cell Access and Backhauling), a European collaborative project whose goal is to develop millimeter-wave (mmW) key radio technologies to provide multi-Gbps data rates to future 5th Generation cellular mobile networks users.
The global mobile data traffic is expected to increase by orders of magnitude in the next decade, driven by video streaming, web services, cloud computing and machine-to-machine applications. Data rates provided to mobile users are also expected to increase accordingly. The evolution of mobile networks towards these objectives is impeded by major bottlenecks, such as the scarcity of spectrum resources below 6 GHz leading to high interference levels, the public concern about microwave electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure in dense areas, the power consumption of the infrastructure, and the flexibility and robustness of the network.
Dr. Laurent Dussopt, MiWaveS project manager and Leti research engineer, explains that "the flexible spectrum usage of the mmW frequency bands at 60 GHz and 71-86 GHz will enable data transmissions up to 10 Gbps for backhaul and 5 Gbps for mobile users access". He also indicates that "MiWaveS' objectives lead to significant challenges on the system architecture, networking functions and algorithms, radio and antenna technologies".
MiWaveS is expected to have a major impact on the key enabling technologies for the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks. The deployment of mmW small cells in dense urban areas will not only improve the flexibility of the access infrastructure, but also the spectral and energy efficiency by low-power access points using mmW spectrum resources.
The MiWaveS project is partially funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Program.
(FP7), within the Work Programme for Information and Communication Technologies under the objective "Network of the Future". This objective supports the development of future network infrastructures that allow the convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous mobile, wired and wireless broadband network technologies as enablers of the future Internet.
The MiWaveS consortium relies on the diverse and complementary expertise of its members: CEA-Leti (FR), Telecom Italia (IT), Orange (FR), Nokia (FI), Intel Mobile Communications (DE), National Instruments Dresden (DE), STMicroelectronics (FR, IT), Sivers IMA (SE), Optiprint (CH), VTT (FI), Tech. Univ. Dresden (DE), Tecnologias Servicios Telematicos y Systemas (ES), Univ. of Rennes 1 (FR), Univ. of Surrey (UK).
The MiWaveS project was launched at the beginning of January 2014, and will last for three years.

As Goes Lian Harper, So Goes.......?
At the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday, Dan DiDio made a few pronouncements regarding the fates of Lian Harper and Wally West in the rebooted DCnU. Read 'em and weep.
On Wally West:
As for former Flash Wally West, there are apparently no plans right now to include him in Flash, although they didn't rule out his inclusion in other titles. When asked when we'd see him again, DiDio didn't hold out much hope, saying that they wanted to focus on Barry to make it easier for new readers. When the questioner pointed out that they were keeping around all four Robins, he said it was simply a creative decision they made.
It's even worse for Lian Harper fans:
On Arsenal and Lian Harper: Because they want to return characters to younger incarnations, Arsenal is now too young to have had children, so Lian Harper no longer exists.
Combine that with Donna Troy's post-Flushpoint MIA status and the Teen Titans reboot.
All this leads me to one conclusion:
Odds are that two fellow ex-Titan offspring will be keeping poor Lian company in The Land of "Never Was":
|Jai West
|Irey West aka Impulse II
And I've also got a bad feeling that their mother (and Wally's wife) Linda Park will be chaperoning them there.
I hope I'm wrong, but I've got a strong feeling I'm not.
Between this, Cass Cain getting benched post-Flushpoint, and the recent "matchboxing" of Ryan Choi, I'm thinking DC's "target audience" DOESN'T include Asian readers.

Each year, bees and their hives travel across the United States aboard tractor-trailers to pollinate vegetation on the West Coast. Because wild pollinators such as birds and bats are unable to keep up with the demand for pollination of the increasing dimensions of almond groves and over 90 varieties of crops from California to Washington State, migratory beehives and their apiculturists are essential to the region's agricultural health. However, in recent months, millions of bees have abandoned their hives, gone missing or died.
The predicament, deemed "Colony Collapse Disorder," has affected beekeepers in 24 US states and some areas of Canada, resulting in a loss of 25 percent to over 75 percent of their hives. Once-burgeoning colonies have become skeletons of their former selves, often with only the queen bee and a few of her workers left—with no trace of the thousands of previous hive inhabitants. Experts are worried about the implications of this phenomenon, and they fear it may be far from resolved.
A number of possible culprits are making the suspect line-up, including bad weather, pesticides or miticides, bad corn syrup and genetically modified corn. Many believe the problem may be compounded by the presence of the varroa mite, a tick-like arachnid that wreaked havoc on apiculture in 2005. Feeding on adult honeybees and their unborn, the parasite can destroy a hive by killing young or causing deformities that weaken colonies and make them more susceptible to invading pathogens.
For the time being, no remedy has been established. The Colony Collapse Disorder Working Group, based primarily at Penn State University, is leading research on the issue, but its preliminary report was inconclusive.

The greening of our countryside gives us reason to believe in spring, even with the cooler weather we've been having. Our cool season forage crops such as fescue, bluegrass, timothy, orchardgrass, alfalfa and clover are speeding right along with their growth. Research tells us that the single most important factor in the determination of hay quality is the stage of growth when it was cut. Research also tells us plenty of reasons why high quality leads to many of the factors involved in profitable livestock production, including higher growth rate, higher conception

The CPI release is out.
Consumer prices unexpectedly fell 0.2% in March from the previous month.
Economists were predicting a flat reading.
Excluding food and energy, prices were up 0.1% (economists were looking for a 0.2% advance).
Year over year, consumer prices were up 1.5% (versus 1.6% expected and 2.0% in February), and prices excluding food and energy were up 1.9% (versus 2.0% expected and 2.0% in February).
