Pauline Ado (Hendaye, FRA), 18, and Charles Martin (GLP), 18, have won the ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior today in France, respectively in the men's and women's division, finishing atop an international field over 150 competitors to raise the coveted trophy in front of a massive crowd.
Ado and Martin, who had to get through several heats today to reach the final encounters in their respective divisions, showed their strong abilities in the tricky two foot (0.5 meter) waves on offer to oust event favorites en route to victory.
Martin, who is considered one of the best European surfers of the new generation coming out of France, claimed his second ASP Pro Junior title at Lacanau, where he was a runner-up in 2008. Facing other favorites Joan Duru (Ondres, FRA), 19, and Wiggoly Dantas (BRA), 19, as well as Oakley rider and underdog Tom Cloarec (Capbreton, FRA), 15, Martin kept his unstoppable form throughout the 30-minute decider.
"Winning this event is exactly what I wanted coming here," Martin said. "I haven't won an event in a year and the Oakley Pro Junior was a main goal for me this year as it puts me back in the ratings' race and gives me that ticket for the Oakley Global challenge."
Martin, whose win today rockets him to No. 4 on the ASP European Junior ratings, will be a favorite when he heads back to Hossegor for the next event and tries and confirm his favorite status.
"It was a close heat and a tough finish with an amazing level," Martin said. "Joan (Duru) is a good friend of mine and he's ripping on the WQS at the moment so It's just perfect for me to get that wildcard into the main event starting tomorrow. This win here is just perfect on all sides and I will enjoy a good party tonight."
Martin was awarded a wildcard into the ASP WQS 6-Star Sooruz Lacanau Pro thanks to his win in the Oakley Pro Junior and will face current ASP World Tour surfer Tim Boal (Anglet, FRA), 25, in the first heat when Round 2 of competition resumes.
Ado, who claimed her second consecutive Oakley Pro Junior at Lacanau today, offered the crowds an intense battle coming back from fourth to first in the last two minutes of the final after scoring two excellent scores back-to-back to win the event.
Besting local favorite and ratings' No. 5 Justine Dupont (Lacanau, FRA), 17, freshly crowned 2009 ASP European Women's junior champion Johanne Defay (REU), 15, and South Africa's wunderkind Bianca Buitendag, Ado showed she was back to competition in a promising form.
"I am just over the moon right now," Ado said. "It is my first event this year on the regional pro junior tour and I never thought I would get that win for the second time in a row. The heat was so hard and I thought I wouldn't be able to get back ahead. Seeing the others get the good waves was very frustrating and it gave me the motivation to surf at my best and win."
Ado, who has had a busy year graduating from high school and starting her ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) career, impressed with her mental strength and surfing skills to grab her first win this year with the event's highest heat score of 15.96 points (out of a possible 20) since becoming the ASP Women's World Junior Champion last January.
"It's a great confidence boost for me and I am going to ask for a wildcard for the next ASP WJC," Ado said. "It's been a very busy year but things have gone my way and it makes that win even sweater."
Johanne Defay (REU), 15, became the youngest surfer to claim the ASP European Women's Junior title after placing 3rd in the ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior today. Defay, who finished her 2009 campaign with a third final in four events, showed she was the most consistent competitor this year and will represent ASP Europe in the ASP Women's World Junior Championships (WJC) at Narabeen next January along with regional No. 2 Alizee Arnaud (Hossegor, FRA).
"It's pretty unbelievable to win the title," Defay said. "I never thought of that before coming to Europe and starting touring but it appeared more and more makeable and I am so happy to grab that crown. I made three finals in four events, the waves were tough today and I am not really at ease in small conditions so I couldn't do any better. It's been a very close race and I am glad to finish on top of the ratings."
Defay, who raised her regional title trophy in front of a massive and cheering crown, will be much expected for her first appearance in the ASP Women's WJC, the Reunion island born surfer having the skills to cause some upset if the swell offers consistency.
"I am stoked to get that spot into the WJC in January," Defay said. "I've been there already but never as a competitor and it's going to be hard, but it's great to become part of that lucky pack and get a chance to surf with the world's best Under-21 female surfers."

PICHER, Oklahoma (CNN) -- In a year marked by massive flooding, deadly tornadoes and blazing wildfires, Tad Skylar Agoglia has never been needed more. This week, he's on the scene in Iowa.
Tad Agoglia started the nonprofit First Response Team of America to help clean up areas hit by disaster.
Agoglia is the founder of The First Response Team of America, his self-funded, nonprofit, nomadic, four-man cleanup crew that provides immediate, emergency aid to areas hit by disasters.
Since May 2007, the team has helped thousands of victims at 15 disaster sites across the United States and has rapidly become a recognized name in first responder aid.
"The most critical phase of a disaster is the first few days," Agoglia says. "That's when you have to find the people that are in desperate need of medical attention, food, water."
Agoglia bases that conclusion on more than four years of on-the-scene experience. When his company, Disaster Recovery Solutions, was hired to clean up after storms like Hurricane Katrina, he noted that days -- even weeks -- routinely passed before authorities began establishing recovery operations.
Local response officials were often debilitated by a loss of resources, and aid organizations arriving early on the scene with water, medical care and food were unable to reach those in need because of road-blocking debris or flooding.
"I got this crazy idea to use one of my cranes to respond immediately to a disaster and just open up roads," Agoglia recalls. "So I deployed equipment immediately. And sure enough, there was a need."
During a year in which the country has suffered unprecedented storm numbers and damage, needs are only escalating.
"Initially, I thought I'd respond to one or two storms a year for free," says Agoglia. "But the demand has been so great, I couldn't say no."
Agoglia has continued to develop his arsenal of equipment to meet that demand. The First Response Team consists of more than $1 million in specialized machinery able to adapt to the various challenges of disaster sites.
Each of two 75-foot max trucks can hold up to eight average dump trucks' worth of debris and has a high-speed crane with interchangeable heads that can lift, crush and cut its way through collapsed buildings in 20 minutes to an hour.
"Especially when little towns get hit, there's not much assistance for them," Agoglia says. "With my equipment, I can come in and clean up the whole town in two days."
Agoglia hauls a multi-terrain hovercraft, dirt bikes, satellite phones with GPS tracking, a huge generator and a large water pump. Soon, he'll add a fire truck and a complex satellite database to connect those suddenly homeless with separated loved ones.
Crisscrossing the country, responding to every type of disaster, Agoglia and his team understand the realities of separation all too well.
"I actually had an apartment, but it was a waste. I was never even there," says the Long Island, New York, native. "So, I took those resources and put them into this team." Watch Agoglia and his team in action »
His inability to turn away from this mission has also meant a halt to Disaster Recovery Solutions' contractual work, with Agoglia's personal savings solely funding The First Response Team so far. With the escalating cost of fuel, Agoglia's monthly operational costs have rocketed to $45,000. Yet with only a year's reserve left, the seminary grad remains undaunted in his leap of faith. Watch Agoglia describe the sacrifices that helped make his First Response Team a reality »
"I used to worry about money. I'd sit down with a yellow notepad and calculator and run the numbers, but I don't do that anymore," Agoglia says. "With the experiences that I've had in these communities, and working with these wonderful people all over America, how can I not help?" Watch Agoglia describe reactions his team receives when they show up to help »
Ultimately, Agoglia envisions multiple teams covering the country, funded by corporate and federal sponsors, and eliminating the perpetual dilemma faced by his own team when choosing between communities in need.
"We need more teams. There's no question about it," he says. "America deserves this type of response."

Drawing from the classic tales of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Ridinghood and Rapunzel, Sondheim's great music weaves their stories together in this intricate grown-up version. While charming and funny, these familiar characters may answer your own questions about why your life doesn't seem to be as easy as a fairy tale.

Twenty years ago the couple followed their spring wedding with a summer at HSRT performing this beloved musical, which follows a young couple from the bliss and uncertainty of the wedding night, through parenthood, mid-life crisis and growing old together in the early 20th Century. Now we join them in celebrating their anniversary with a second honeymoon, as they revisit this jaunt through a married life from a new perspective. Additional performances are at 8 p.m. on June 26, 30, July 2, 6, 8, 28, August 4, 7, and 10 in the Knickerbocker Theatre.

A bridegroom anticipating his wedding day, a future father-in-law looking for a way to stop the progress of that day, a wandering horse that takes a big bite out of a lady's tempting straw hat, the frantic quest to replace that rare hat, the growing crowd that joins in the search: it's a classic and hilarious French farce! As the quest for the hat and the hour of the wedding become intertwined, the laughs embrace the whole city of Paris as well as the audience. Performances are on July 9, 10, 15, 17, 21, 30, August 5, 12, and 14 at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Theatre.
° Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play, and written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy, opening July 23rd, The Last Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred Uhry is a charming and bittersweet comedy set in Atlanta on the day of the Gone with the Wind premiere in the pre-WWII era. Meanwhile, a segment of Atlanta's elite is more concerned with who will be attending Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The arrival of a handsome stranger from New York forces the Freitag family to deal with who they really are as they are pulled apart and mended again with plenty of gentle comedy, sweet romance, and unexpected turns. Performances continue on July 24, 29, August 3, 6, 9, 11, and 13 in the DeWitt Theatre.

NYC Council Angers Mayor Bloomberg By Passing Two Bills Aimed At Curtailing The NYPD's 'Stop And Frisk' Program
from the a-despot-and-his-enforcers deptIt appears the New York City council would like to see some changes in the NYPD. Two bills were passed recently (known together as the "Community Safety Act") that have put Mayor Bloomberg and Chief of Police Ray Kelly on the defensive.
The first seeks to install independent oversight of the NYPD, something the Dept. of Justice itself recommends. (The DOJ's recommendation is contingent on a judicial decision finding the department's "Stop and Frisk" program unconstitutional.) This, of course, has enraged Mayor Bloomberg, who's definitely not interested in anyone policing his "personal army." (Just in case anyone feels the previous sentence is hyperbolic, here's the mayor's quote, which he delivered during a speech at MIT in 2011.)
"I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom's annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have," Mayor Bloomberg said.Bloomberg's reaction to the DOJ's recommendation echoed his previous audacious statement.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed papers Wednesday saying that if a federal judge ruled the NYPD's practices unconstitutional, then the DOJ would strongly endorse the use of a monitor to oversee changes at the department.Part of the NYPD's problem is Mayor Bloomberg himself. The fact that he regards the police department as both "his" and a "military organization" is indicative of his mindset. Bloomberg wants a military force policing his city and has done everything in his power to bring his own brand of martial law to NYC. For its own good, of course.
The mayor, however, said that the police department needs a clear line of authority. "No military organization or paramilitary runs where you have confusion in the command structure. You just cannot have that. Lives are on the line," he said in a question-and-answer session with reporters.
With this bill passing with enough votes to override his veto, Bloomberg has gone on the attack (along with Chief Kelly), throwing around statements that give the impression New York City is only a single militarized policeman away from a crippling crimewave. The balance is apparently so delicate that any change will destroy the balance and put millions of New Yorker's in jeopardy.
In separate appearances, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and his police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, sought to portray the bills — one aimed at increasing oversight of the Police Department and the other at expanding the ability to sue over racial profiling by officers — as a divisive tool that would undermine the police's efforts to get guns off the streets and continue to lower the murder rate.The problem is neither of these statements are true. Stop and frisk doesn't get guns off the street or lower the murder rate. The NYCLU's report on stop and frisk showed the total number of weapons recovered in 2012 increased by a total of 96 guns compared with 2003 (pre-stop and frisk), an increase of 0.02%. And as the NYCLU's Donna Lieberman pointed out, homicide numbers were dropping before the stop and frisk program was introduced and homicide rates have decreased more dramatically in other large cities.
The first threat to Bloomberg's "personal army" doesn't take effect until Jan. 1st, 2014, meaning this decision would be passed on to the next mayor of New York City. Bloomberg can veto this bill (and will) but it has the support needed to override his veto (it passed 40-11; the override threshold is 34 votes).
The second bill takes aim at the "racial profiling" aspects of the stop and frisk program. As has been noted, 87% of those stopped and frisked over the last decade have been black or Latino. This percentage would be enough to indicate profiling, but even more damning evidence came to light during the still-ongoing lawsuit. A secret recording caught a commanding officer stating explicitly the targets of stop and frisk: "I told you at roll call, and I have no problem telling you this, male blacks 14 to 20, 21."
By expanding the definition of "profiling" to include "age, gender, housing status and sexual orientation" and allowing individuals to sue police in state court for "policies that disproportionately affect people in any protected categories without serving a significant law enforcement goal," the city council hopes to make the first moves towards killing off the stop and frisk program.
As was stated earlier, Bloomberg feels this sort of "interference" would be "harmful" to his "military." His efforts to kill this legislation will include attempts to "turn" a councilperson in order to eliminate the 34th vote needed to override his veto. Even in this, the Mayor took the time to evoke the "victims" of independent oversight and additional NYPD culpability.
He declined to say how he might persuade one council member to switch positions, saying only: "This is a fight to defend your life and your kids' lives. You can rest assured that I will not give up for one minute."If the NYPD resists these reforms as much as their "personal leader" does, it could actually mean a jump in crime numbers. The NYPD may decide to simply do less enforcement or deterrence in order to prove that the meddling bills did indeed "undermine police efforts." And it wouldn't take much to persuade many of these cops to "do less." Like many personal armies, the NYPD is home to plenty of low-level corruption and laziness.
Ten percent of them were malcontents who worked as little as possible. Unless they are being paid overtime, officers seem to avoid writing summonses. Indeed, some police officers need to be weaned of the idea that they are paid to drive around in their patrol cars, eating doughnuts.If the perfect storm comes together, the NYPD could be facing independent oversight and a major disruption in the "stop and frisk" process, if not an actual judicial decision declaring the whole thing unconstitutional. Judging from what we've seen so far, we can expect future reactions from Bloomberg and the NYPD to range from "ugly" to "uglier."
And those sentiments came not from critics of the department, but from police commanders and city lawyers.

Coyne: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is entitled to our sympathy — as soon as he's out of office
Apparently all did not go quite according to plan during Rob Ford's stint in rehab. The Toronto Star, quoting sources at the GreeneStone facility north of Toronto, reports His Worship spent most of his time there alone in his room watching TV.
Group therapy sessions were marked by physical and verbal attacks on other inmates. He may even have been on drugs the whole time.
For the mayor, however, the experience was life-changing. The "professional help" he received at GreeneStone, he says, taught him a valuable lesson. And the lesson is: It's not his fault. That is, it's all his fault ("I accept full responsibility … I have no one to blame but myself") but not in a way that he should be held to account for. Because he has a disease, a disease called alcoholism. Or rather, since alcohol is but one of the truly impressive array of drugs he has used, addiction.
In the course of "hundreds of hours" of therapy, he told reporters, "I learned that my addiction is really a disease." It's genetic, like his blond hair. "I was born with this disease, and I'm going to die with this disease." The racist slurs, the gangster chums, the conflicts of interest, the attacks on the chief of police, the casual invitation to his friends to have sex with his wife in front of him, the lies about all of it? That wasn't him. It was the disease. "When you have this disease, you say things, do things that aren't you." As for the future, well, who can say? "I'm going to take one day at a time. That's how you deal with this disease."
Hence Ford's declaration, after his usual "all I can do is apologize" mantra, that he is "not asking you for forgiveness." Of course he isn't. He is asking for absolution. Forgiveness would imply he, personally, did something wrong. He is merely apologizing on behalf of his disease.
It is not my purpose here to deny that addiction is a disease, or that some people are born with a predisposition to it. All the same, it is a tricky line Ford is attempting to walk: just sick enough that he cannot be held responsible for his actions, but not so sick as to be disqualified from office. To suggestions that the stress of political life is perhaps not the best thing for a man in his condition, Ford replies the job is part of his therapy. "Keeping busy is the best thing for me."
But if Ford's hypocrisy is as outsized as his appetites, it is matched by our own. The mayor's sudden discovery, after months of denial, that he was, in fact, in denial did not come from nowhere. It is in a long line of similar apologies in which it has become unclear whether anyone can really be held to account for anything.
First we medicalized every personal quirk or character flaw. Then we went to work scrubbing the "stigma" from the disease, until at last we arrived at the situation described by my colleague Christie Blatchford, in which Ford, as a self-confessed alcoholic, could claim protection for his disability on human rights grounds. Ford can no more be blamed for taking advantage of this than he can for anything else. We are hoist with our own therapeutic petard.
Or would be, if anyone paid a blind farthing to consistency. The selectiveness here is only partly related to Ford. While it is true the same people who would ordinarily be careful to mouth all the right pieties about addiction have been among the mayor's most enthusiastic critics, the larger inconsistency is in our singling out of some genetic or otherwise predestined conditions over others.
You see this sort of faux sensitivity on display whenever some film star is being interviewed about, say, the moment he learned he had dyslexia. "What a relief! I thought I was just stupid." Because, honestly, who wants to be one of them? As the possessor of a certified mental disability, you are entitled to every societal sympathy and legal protection. Not so if you are just incredibly thick.
This isn't erasing a stigma. It's simply shifting it onto someone else. Jean Chretien's lopsided face, long the staple of every standup comic or editorial cartoonist in the country, became off limits the minute it was attributed to Bell's palsy; his mangled syntax was likewise good for a laugh until it was diagnosed as aphasia. Yet he could no more help it if it wasn't.
Nor is this limited to genetics. A tendency to addiction is but one of several disorders from which Ford would seem to suffer. He appears to have the self-control of a nine-year-old, for one, coupled with a desperate need for approval. Doubtless a psychologist could list others. Some of these may be the product of chemical imbalances or brain structure; some, almost certainly, stem from his upbringing. But is he really to blame for either?
I've no objection, in sum, to the idea that Ford's behaviour is the result of circumstances beyond his control. I'm just not sure how that distinguishes him from anyone else. It's not clear to me why someone who is lazy or dishonest or incompetent should be judged more harshly than someone who is merely addicted to drugs. After all, something made them that way.
The relevant distinction, it seems to me, is not between the things we can control and the things we can't, but how we react in either event. If it is unfair to hold someone with the gene for addiction to the same standard as someone to whom fate has been kinder, it is entirely fair to judge one addict against another.
Whatever may explain people's behavioural problems, moreover, the practical question is how to prevent them doing harm to others. Ford's "demons" may be a problem for him, but right now they're even more of a problem for Toronto. He's entitled to our sympathy, just as soon as he's out of office.

Carrie Underwood Joins Twitter
She was seemingly country music's final holdout, but with the release of her new song 'Good Girl' Carrie Underwood has decided to join Twitter. The singer signed on just before 12PM ET on Friday, and within an hour was following 18 people and had over 10,000 followers.
"Hello Twitter world!" Underwood tweeted for the first time ever. For years the singer said that if you were following her on Twitter, you were following the work of an imposter, because she didn't spend time sharing the details of her day with fans on her phone or computer. Perhaps now that even God himself is tweeting, Underwood decided it was time.
Late Thursday night, Underwood debuted her new single to radio industry personnel at an event in Nashville. The song has since been released on iTunes. Early critical and fan reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, upping the excitement for her new album, which will be released on May 1.
For the record, the first person Underwood followed on Twitter her husband Mike Fisher, but she is now following fellow country icons Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert and Kellie Pickler, as well as the Nashville Predators and Ellen DeGeneres.

Good read on Bleacher Report:
but the main point that I thought we should focus on was, once again the awful second half play. Something that's becoming all too familiar for Steelers fans.
I just don't know what it is. In 2008-2009, we were the comeback kids. Always awful in the first half and unreal in the second half. Something has changed this season. The first few series of almost every game this season, we've looked good, and then we've let up after the first quarter. That is going to be trouble later in the season..After racking up 10 first downs on 226 yards, and punching in 17 unanswered points on the first three drives of the game, the Steelers gained just 144 yards of total offense on their last eight drives of the game.
After leaving the locker room at halftime up 17-3, the Steelers gained just 70 yards of total offense and punted the ball on all five of their second half drives.
If the disappearance of the Steelers offense wasn't enough, the defense played Copperfield all game long. Never truly leaving the room, but often times absent, the defense gave the Jags and their 22-year-old rookie quarterback room to hang around until a Hail Mary ended their late-game efforts.

Hi Barry
Sorry you're having problems.
Could you check a few things please?
What version of Windows do you use?
What is your current version of IFW_Backup? does it still run OK?
Could you check the F:\IFW_Backup\IFW_Backup_Install_From\ folder
again. After running set_up option 1, it should contain 13 files, all
with the same date and time modified. (Here in New Zealand these show
27 Jan 2017 10:43am, but may be a little different in your time zone.)
When IFW_Backup_Installer.cmd ran, did it show the correct version at
the top of the first page?
Have you tried downloading the zip and running the Set_Up again from
the beginning?
Did you unblock the zip file?
Sorry to bombard you with all these questions,but I'm puzzled as to
what has happened.
You could reply to the email address in the Read_Me_First file for
speedier turn-around.
And, thanks for the comprehensive diagnostic information you provided.

Kayaks were traditionally a boat which the paddler would build himself. Kayaks were developed by the Inuit and Aleut peoples of arctic Americas and Greenland (popularly known as Eskimos). These people needed to build a boat with limited materials that would let them paddle in some of the most dangerous waters of the world. They built kayaks. The traditional Greenland Inuit kayak or Aleut "baidarka" was built "skin-on-frame". A frame constructed of driftwood, lashed together with whale baleen or seal ligaments was covered with scraped seal skin.
These boats were used to hunt for seal, walrus and whales in the open ocean and among the ice floes of the high arctic. The original kayakers could travel through fierce storms and strong currents to catch haddock and cod. Early European explorers were duly impressed with the kayak and kayaker's ability to navigate in dangerous conditions. They were amazed at the speed and sea worthiness of the seemingly delicate boats.
People continue to build kayaks today, although skinning seals to make a boat is no longer considered politically correct. And now the selection of materials available to the would be homemade kayak builder has increased. However, wood is still a material of choice for the home kayak makers. Now, there are high tech, long lasting, super strong glues such as epoxy. There are also light weight, rugged and easy to use reinforcements such as fiberglass. As a result, a home handyman can build a light weight, strong, low maintenance, inexpensive kayak in their basement shop or garage which is as good or better than what can be purchased premanufactured at the local outfitter.
Strip Built
Also called "cedar strip", "wood strip", or "wood-strip epoxy". This method uses thin strips of lightweight wood, edge glued together and covered with fiberglass and epoxy to make the kayak. It gives the builder a lot of freedom in the shape of the boat the choose to make. Artistic patterns can be incorporated into the strips using different kinds of wood.
Sometimes called "tack and tape", in this building method, flat panels of plywood are cut out to specific shapes, then "stitched" together using wires, tape or cable ties. The panels are then permanently glued together using epoxy and fiberglass. This technique is particularly good for "hard-chined" or "multi-chined" designs
Skin on Frame
Occasionally called "wood and canvas". This is basically the traditional method used by Aleuts and Inuits. Now the frame is sometimes made of aluminum and the skin is usually canvas or nylon. Some builders cut frames out of plywood. Others, cover the frame with plywood
Alternately called "composite". This method is generally limited to commercially manufactured kayaks as it takes a lot of work to make the first kayak. To make a kayak this way fiberglass is laid into a mold and then wet out with resin. This is also the same technique used to build kevlar and carbon fiber kayaks.
Roto Molded
Today more kayaks are made this way than all the other methods combined, but it is strictly a commercial method. A two story tall machine lifts and spins a large aluminum mold as it is heated up to several hundred degrees. The hot mold is injected with 60 pounds of colored polyethylene plastic beads. As the mold is spun, the beads start to melt and stick to the inside. If you have several million dollars to purchase the machine you should be able to make several kayaks every hour.

FC Vestsjælland 1-2 Lyngby (30:05:10)
- Click on photos to enlarge image -
The EFW doors are wide open to most ideas. So when the family Pedersen of Copenhagen invited me for a day out to a Division 1 game in Slagelse (that's Slagelse!) on a rainy afternoon in May, I was all over it like a cheap suit. I'd met Ivar Pedersen at the New Firm Game back in March. This time around, I was to be joined by his sons; Hans & Kris plus Ivar's newphew Anders Petersen for the perfect Sunday.
Ivar chose to drive us the 100km or so to Slagelse. As it happens, I'd also been invited by the away team to travel on their supporters coaches. The Blue Vikings were subsidising travel for their fans and giving them free beer and cheap tickets in a bid to get a large and vocal travelling support in what was an important match - it worked. Ivar had also packed a ready supply of beers though so it was a win-win situation for EFW. Just how we like it.
Blokes being blokes, the five of us in the car were best mates within about two minutes. I am now the font of all knowledge on all things Danish football after spending a day with those guys. We fought only to get in our stories and funnies as made our way to Slagelse (fond of saying that place aren't you - Ed) which was a viking stronghold back in the day. Both teams with viking links then - tick.
Now I've been to lots of football grounds but one with a bar in the corner which took the form of a viking helmet? That was new on me and what's more it was bloody marvelous. There just aren't enough pubs in stadiums that are made to look like a viking helmet in my opinion. The ground also had two banks of terracing which probably wouldn't have passed any health and safety regulations but as it was, they were largely empty for this match as it was absolutely chucking it down and so the 1,253 punters all gathered in the main stand - with a roof.
What with surrounding trees, terracing, novelty bars and ready supply of Harboe beer being served - I couldn't have cared less about the rain. This was the perfect Sunday and no mistake. The only thing nagging me was the Danish curse of popcorn. Popcorn does not belong at a football match Denmark. If you want popcorn - go to the cinema. If you really want to talk food, then what about garlic. Apparently, Danes have garlic on everyday aside from Wednesday & Saturday because those are the days they have sex. Arf.
Lyngby are a club on the way back after a few years in the doldrums. Their old nemesis and neighbouring club B1903 seized to exist in 1992 and merged with KB to form FCK (FC Copenhagen). They came back and rid Lyngby of their best players and guy who was also putting money into the club left as well to become Chief Executive at FCK. Lyngby filed for bankruptcy and were demoted several divisions. Since then, despite seeing their best players regularly disappear they're back and in with a sniff of top-flight football again. They also need a new ground as theirs isn't good enough at the moment (great knowledge our kid- Danish Div 1 Ed).
Roared on by about 200 away fans, Lyngby won this game with the last kick of the ball. Their fans gave their anthems a throaty airing and Hans Pedersen (age 11) dug me in the ribs and reminded me that he'd predicted that very result. Hans is already a football guru. Good on you mate! He's our new Danish EFW correspondent.
For the first time in what seemed like weeks, we weren't subjected to the Black Eyed Peas at the full time whistle. Wembley Stadium are all about that song "cos tonight's gonna be a good good night....I've got a feeling ooohh oooohhh..." It's living proof that football fans will sing and dance along to any old rhubarb minutes after winning a promotion play-off final at the home of football.
After stopping off for some emergency beers on the way back into Copenhagen and several airings of the Amateur Transplants I was biding farewell to my Danish pals and back for a night out in town which inevitably ended up with 25 locals singing traditional drinking songs long into the night.
When I started EFW two-years ago, my vision was to unite some like-minded fans from around Europe. Those who prefer a beer and a laugh to a fight. I've met some great people on this journey. The Pedersen family and the lads I met in Malmo the day before were great company. Here's to European Football Weekends all round in 2010/11. Join us for the ride why don't you?

Kevin McGuire at a Loss for Words Over Taylor Swift's ACM Awards Invite
One of the most awe-inspiring stories we've seen in a long time continues to get better and better. After New Jersey senior Kevin McGuire, who is currently fighting cancer for the second time, asked Taylor Swift to be his prom date, the country superstar came back with a shocking invitation, asking to take McGuire to the ACMs with her in April. In the video below, CBS Philly captured the 18-year-old's reaction when he heard the news from his hospital bed at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"I don't know what else to say," McGuire said after reading Swift's invitation to be her date at the ACMs. "I was just trying not to throw up." McGuire is currently battling Leukemia, the same disease he fought and overcame when he was 13 years old. When he was thinking about his June 1 senior prom (which happens to fall on his birthday), the teen wanted a date that would make him feel confident, despite the treatment he has to undergo before then. He's had Leukemia once, and he knows what's coming.
"I'm gonna be bald. I'm gonna be a little chunky," he says. Empowered by her brother's strength and positive outlook on life, McGuire's sister Victoria is the one who set the ball rolling to actually secure her brother his dream date. Taking to Facebook, Victoria set up a page entreating Taylor Swift to take her brother to prom. The page blew up with fans and comments, and soon the country star herself responded via her own Facebook page.
"Kevin, I'm so sorry but I won't be able to make it to your prom," she wrote. "But I was wondering, the ACM Awards are coming up.. Would you be my date? Love, Taylor." Responding to the request in the video below, McGuire seems determined not to let his health keep him from this incredible opportunity in Las Vegas. "I have cancer. Cancer doesn't have me." he says. "Taylor, I would love to go with you."

New System Offers Bookstores an Array of Alternative Tools to Compete More Effectively in the Market
College & University Pressroom
OGDEN, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CampusBookRentals (www.campusbookrentals.com), the pioneer of college textbook rentals, today announced the rollout of an advanced point-of-sale system (POS) for college bookstores. This rollout comes after a string of technology advancements delivered to bookstores over the last three years and solidifies CampusBookRentals as the preeminent college bookstore partner.
In 2009 CampusBookRentals became the first to partner with college bookstores to power in-store rental programs, and now does so in over 100 bookstores nationwide. With this advanced POS technology, CampusBookRentals is offering their partners a distinct alternative to the existing legacy systems, and equipping bookstores nationwide with an arsenal of new tools to compete more effectively with online and in-store competition.
Bookstores have been operating in a rapidly changing environment in recent years and have seen formidable new competitors such as Amazon and eBay enter the textbook market. With this new technology, CampusBookRentals gives bookstores a crucial edge by introducing store-to-store inventory sharing and trading connectivity as well as rental centric modules, making as much as 100% of the textbook inventory profitably for rent. These tools provide significant textbook sourcing, selling and renting advantages and empower bookstores to be more competitive.
"Legacy systems put bookstores and students at a disadvantage, as they are unable and unwilling to adopt superior sourcing and rental strategies that deliver significant value to students," said Alan Martin, CEO and Founder of CampusBookRentals. "We are now putting tools in the hands of bookstores that have already proven to bring back market share and make the bookstore the preferred destination for the value-conscious student."
Furthermore, the cloud-based solution allows stores to sell excess textbook inventory directly into online marketplaces and facilitates bookstore participation in 'RentBack', the student-to-student and student-to-store rental initiative launched by CampusBookRentals in December 2012.
Perhaps the biggest point of differentiation is how the product is developed. CampusBookRentals considers this technology to be a POS developed by bookstores, for bookstores. Efforts are underway to create an advisory board of bookstore managers to help guide future product development, and ensure that the product evolves to meet the changing needs of college bookstores. In conjunction with the unique product development model, the technology also gives bookstores access to CampusBookRentals powerful logistics infrastructure. The store-to-store inventory connectivity, coupled with access to CampusBookRentals' logistics infrastructure provides bookstores with real advantages in the competitive textbook market, enabling them to grow market share.
About CampusBookRentals
CampusBookRentals is a leading independent provider of textbook rentals, providing a flexible, convenient and economical alternative to buying textbooks for price-conscious students. Named by Forbes as one of "America's Most Promising Companies," and as the fastest growing education company in the nation by Inc.

As Corey Robin, Malcolm Harris and IOZ have all suggested or implied, Melissa Harris-Perry's latest is perhaps best read as a sort of Swiftian parody of liberalism, written by a closeted anarchist. What else does one make of a column that compares American liberal democracy to Santa Claus and then exhorts us to believe in it?
Santa exists only if we make him real through belief. The American project in democracy is similar. Even as we challenge it to be better, fairer and more honest, we still have to believe that democratic governance by the people, through their institutions, can and should exist. Like Santa Claus, democracy requires us to believe that collective faith can be greater than our individual doubts. In 1994's Miracle, Santa says, "I'm not just a whimsical figure who wears a charming suit and affects a jolly demeanor…. I'm a symbol, I'm a symbol of the human ability to suppress the selfish and hateful tendencies that rule the major part of our lives."
Granted, we do Dr. Harris-Perry an injustice if we refuse to engage with the substance of her argument and instead content ourselves with snarking at an unfortunate metaphor. She does, after all, have a point, or at least half of one. A republic of institutional nihilists will destroy itself in seconds flat; the glue that holds any democratic project together is a shared commitment to democratic values. Whether or not one can have a rational commitment to those values is a point of contention as old as moral philosophy. On this point I would only say that even if all ethical claims are non-rational, they are still qualitatively distinct from empirical claims regarding the alleged existence of supernatural avatars of jolliness.
Anyway, even if ethical claims can't be mathematically proven, they can still be persuasively argued. That is not what Harris-Perry has done; in fact, her entire column is a long exercise in question-begging. We are told that we should believe in the American democratic project because, if we don't, then the project will fail. But if we don't believe it in the first place, then why should we want it to succeed? A more persuasive version of this column (though also, no doubt, a much longer one) might have told us why, whether or not Santa is real, we should want him to be real.
Furthermore, it might have told us how that desire should translate into reality. I'm no anarchist — this little boy wants to believe. But what am I supposed to do with that? Faith in American democracy must mean something different from faith in the institutional machinery of the American state, machinery which Harris-Perry admits has failed us. That being the case, trying to exercise power through established channels may be necessary, but it is woefully insufficient. That's why Harris-Perry's final paragraph made this little boy's heart sink:
Our faith has been badly damaged by governors who crush unions, by a Congress that will not govern, by a military that tortures, by campus police with pepper spray, by coaches who prey on kids, by CEOs who slash jobs as profits rise, by a system that seems irreparably broken. But building a country requires investment in one another, hope that we can be better tomorrow than we are today and faith that our failures are not definitive. In these final days before we enter the 2012 election year, it is time to ask, "Do you believe?"
Juxtapose the reference to 2012 with the glaring omission from Harris-Perry's list of faith-damagers, and this starts to sound dangerously close to another call for everyone to just suck it up and vote for the Democrats. I submit to you that doing so, and letting the extent of our civic engagement stop there, would actually be a testament to our profound lack of faith in democracy. Surely Occupy Wall Street should have reminded us that democracy is more than something you do for a couple hours once every four years; it is, in fact, a way of life.
That's another problem with the Santa Claus analogy: Saint Nick comes but once a year, if he comes at all. If American democracy is to be rescued, or if we are to so much as demonstrate that American democracy is worth rescuing, then that means conceiving it as a permanent, year-round state of existence.

I thought I'd talk tv today, or share about my un-awesome start to my awesome weekend. Instead, I just want to say thanks. Thanks for coming by and seeing what's new. Your comments brighten my day, and your readership means a lot. It's comforting to know there is an audience out there who takes time from their day to read about mine. When I started this blog, I did it so I'd have a centralized place to keep my thoughts straight. Now, I try to give a look into the life of a Las Vegan. Among my other ramblings, I try to provide tips and tidbits about this great city, I'm fortunate to call home. Anyway, I'm grateful for each of you that are part of my journey.
Just so this isn't all mush. Did anyone catch the Cosmopolitan commercial last night during Mad Men? It seems they're taking the "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" to a whole new level. I can honestly say I never expected it, and I'm a little more intrigued about the property than I was before. By the looks of it, I would not want to be the one responsible for cleaning and maintaining the guest rooms. Also, I spotted dogs, pussy, chicks, tail or doe... ducks? And are they screwing like bunnies??

Wow, that is disturbingly...well, sexy. Gosh, does that sound bad...but hey, it's true, at least for me. But I'm still not interested in their property to be honest. Can't imagine paying so much for a place to lay my head for a night or two. That's just me though. So not high maintenance.

It's definitely different. I'll watch rates, and hopefully find a deal sometime. I like to knock hotels off the list.

i saw that during the show and was like " WTF is this for?!"
looks too highfalutin for me.

There's no shortage of supplements, treatments, tools, and creams that promise to give you a head full of amazing hair, but if you're on a quest for a covetable mane, look no farther than your pantry for all the ammo you need to truly transform your tresses. Turns out everything from apple cider vinegar to molasses can be used to make your hair look positively stunning, and at a fraction of the cost of some of those pricy treatments.
We caught up with Kyle White, the supremely talented lead colorist at the Oscar Blandi salon in NYC. He's apparently a DIY beauty whiz kid, too — he knows the foods you need to eat to make your hair look awesome, plus what to slather on your strands to add softness, shine, and even make your color more vibrant.
"My grandmother was an Italian immigrant who grew up during the Great Depression," he says. "She believed that homemade was always better than store-bought. While I may not completely agree with her on that, I definitely believe that there is great benefit in having this knowledge for holistic treatments. Incorporating these at-home treatments into your existing regimen of high-end beauty products allows for a more complete and balanced beauty regimen."
The best part about making your own hair masks (besides the price, of course): "These are very effective because you are using beneficial ingredients directly from the source, as opposed to from a laboratory," says White. "You know that the ingredients are fresh, and you can also customize them to fit your specific needs and preferences."
Read on for White's recipes for making your hair silky-soft, healthy, and all-around awesome with nothing more than a few ingredients from your local grocery store. Then get in the kitchen and start playing Betty Crocker — your hair will thank you.

Hey everyone--I have added a couple of new families under my "Praying For...." section on my sidebar. I wanted to highlight one family tonight who is in need of prayer right now.
Please, if you have two minutes, head over to The Ronne's blog to read about Kaci, the sister-in-law of a very good friend of mine--who is my age, with a new baby girl (Lola's age)--and has just been diagnosed with a brain tumor. She and her family need to be uplifted in prayer, and I appreciate each and every one of you who will!

Multibody Dynamics
The dynamic analysis of interconnected bodies or links is called a multibody analysis. These bodies are connected by joints that constrain their relative motion. The simplest element of a multibody system is a single particle, which can be considered using Newton's laws of motion. Multibody Dynamics has a long and storied background.
CAD model of a three-cylinder reciprocating engine. Image shows three sets of pistons, cylinders, and connecting-rods, one crankshaft, and two bearings. The piston and cylinder are connected using a prismatic joint, while hinge joints connect pistons with connecting-rods, connecting-rods with the crankshaft, and the crankshaft with bearings.
History of Multibody Dynamics
One of the first to perform a multibody analysis was French mathematician and physicist Jean le Rond d'Alembert. A little later, Leonhard Euler introduced an important concept critical to the use of this approach for subsequent engineering applications — the concept of the "rigid body". A rigid body assumes there is no deformation in the solid object, a simplification that turned multibody analysis into a quick tool for testing and optimizing various mechanisms and processes.
Some of the first applications of multibody analysis were in the areas of gyrodynamics, biomechanics, and mechanisms theory. These analyses have been around since the early twentieth century. As engineering designs started becoming more complex, multibody analyses were performed on linkages in varied applications such as aerospace, automotive, and robotic design to name a few.
Rigid Multibody Analysis Has its Drawbacks
A primary drawback of rigid multibody analysis is that it does not consider stresses induced in the individual components while the system is in motion. This imposes a limitation during product design, as it prevents designers from analyzing design objectives such as system life, plastic behavior, optimizing product mass, and so forth. Further, performing other analyses such as heat and electrical, and their effects on the system motion is also very cumbersome.
State-of-the-art Finite Element Technology addresses these challenges by enabling a seamless "flexible multibody analysis" and the coupling of multibody analysis with other physical phenomena, which may be of importance during design. With product life-cycles shrinking, today's design engineer is faced with "smart-to-market" demands: fast delivery, improved performance, and cost-efficiency. Technological advances have posed their own challenges. For example, light materials that are thinner necessitate the deformation analysis of individual components along with the system dynamic analysis to accurately predict motion.
To cater to today's challenges, multibody dynamics tools must enable design engineers to seamlessly perform flexible multibody analyses.

Well to ease such "multibody" analysis, for complex flexible models, and without forcing the user to access only the greatest clusters, one must find ways to divide the work, by defining load interfaces and model "chopping" such to solve by parts, or to simulate other parts by reduced models, i.e based on modal analysis thechniques or other ways.
Today this is not yet implemented in COMSOL, albeit one feels everything is ready, under the hood.
Any news about when we could start using such "super-element" type modelling with COMSOL ?

Hull honored for his globally transformative and impactful work inventing and pioneering 3D printing and the STL file format that connects all CAD formats with 3D printers
ROCK HILL, South Carolina –March 4, 2014 – 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced that Chuck Hull, the inventor of 3D printing and founder of 3D Systems, will be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) for his globally impactful and transformative work inventing and pioneering 3D printing. With this induction, Hull joins the ranks of formerly honored inventors, including Eli Whitney, Thomas Edison, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Henry Ford, and George Eastman, as well as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
Hull is being recognized by the NIHF and the United States Patent and Trademark Office for his ground-breaking invention of the original 3D printing technology, Stereolithography (SLA). Hull also co-created the STL file format, which continues to be the gold standard in ultra high-definition 3D printing connectivity with all CAD formats. In 1983, Hull 3D printed a small cup, the first-ever object created with additive technology. The success of Hull's process served as a catalyst to his founding of 3D Systems in 1986.
Hull continues to lead the 3D printing revolution as 3D Systems' Chief Technology Officer, celebrating 30 years of continuous 3D printing innovation and presiding over seven different 3D print technologies, more than 100 materials and 1,700 patents.
Since 1973, the National Inventors Hall of Fame has been honoring the individuals who have conceived, patented and advanced great technological achievements dating back to the birth of our nation. To be inducted, candidates must hold a United States patent that has contributed significantly to the nation's welfare and the advancement of science and useful arts.
"Each year we have the distinct honor of recognizing individuals whose contributions to society will resound throughout the ages," said Michael Oister, Invent Now CEO. "3D printing is an astounding technology that is poised to change the way our world works and the way we interact with it. We are delighted to welcome Chuck Hull to our NIHF family."
"I am deeply honored to become a part of the NIHF and be considered among the group of high caliber innovators who have transformed the world and improved the human condition in tangible and powerful ways," said Chuck Hull, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, 3DS. "I always knew that 3D printing had the capacity to change the entire design-to-manufacture process, but could not have anticipated the full impact that my work would have on every facet of our lives. It is incredibly humbling and exhilarating to be a part of this transformation."
Hull will be honored on May 21, 2014, at the United States Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, Virginia.
