We've complained about the quality of the "Windows Secrets" newsletter in the past, and the fact that it's aimed toward much less sophisticated users than the other publications that it's swallowed. I think they've really showed us this in the latest update:
As you can see, they are referring to VNC-derived remote desktop apps as "virtual machine software". I think that anyone claiming to inform the rest of us ought to understand that this label applies to programs like VMware and VirtualPC; VNC is a completely unrelated beast.
As I sit here with my mouse over the "Post" button it occurs to me that this post may be somewhat cruel, so I'm hesitant. On the other hand, I think it really calls into question their real-world experience and their editing. And readers have certainly been offering constructive criticism for some time; they've had every chance to get things in order.
Update: I should specify that this is in reference to their newsletter edition "Windows Secrets NEWS UPDATE • Issue 184a • 2009-02-14".

Iglesias/Salazar Return Home From ITA Championships
Sunday, October 06, 2002Chattanooga, Tenn. (October 6, 2002) - East Tennessee State men's tennis duo Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) and Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) won their first match during Saturday's pre-qualifying round of the 2002 Icy Hot/ITA All-American Championships at The Champions Club in Chattanooga, Tenn. However, the doubles team was eliminated from the tournament following a tough loss in the round of 32. Iglesias/Salazar defeated Tom Murray/Steve Timperly of Tulsa 9-8 in a 7-0 tiebreaker to advance out of the round of 64. But the pair couldn't get past Johan Burg/Daniel Langre of Southern California, the defending national team champions, losing 8-2. "This was our first tournament of the fall season and there were a lot of very good players here," ETSU head coach Dave Mullins said following the last match. "The head and humidity has been quite bad and it has taken its toll on everybody. It was a tough weekend for our team, but we'll regroup." The Buccaneers next event will be Oct. 18-20, when the team travels to Columbia, S.C. for the South Carolina Gamecock Invitational.

Derry's Taylor Library gets lots of love
DERRY - In his five years on the Town Council, Neil Wetherbee said he has never seen the type of outpouring of support as he saw from the supporters of the Taylor Library.
Dozens of residents packed the council's meeting room on Tuesday night, and for over an hour during the public forum, supporters young and old spoke in favor of keeping the Taylor Library in East Derry open. In the budget proposal forwarded to the council by Town Administrator John Anderson, Anderson recommended zeroing out the library's proposed $176,000 budget for fiscal year 2014.
Many mentioned the role a smaller library plays in creating a sense of community and providing an important resource for children and adults.
After hearing from the library supporters, many of whom were children and their parents, Wetherbee made an unusual move, polling the council to see whether there was support for the closing of the library. Five of the seven councilors said they would not support closing the library, while the other two stated they would not make a final decision until the budget presentations, scheduled for later this month, had been completed.
"This is a highly unusual circumstance," said Wetherbee. "In my five-plus years on the council, I have never seen a public outpouring like this, and I don't think there is a consensus to close the Taylor Library on the Town Council, and I would ask that we alleviate your fears tonight."
In addition to Wetherbee, councilors Brad Benson, Tom Cardon, Phyllis Katsakiores, and Al Dimmock said they do not support closing the library.
Benson noted that he has been a patron of the library since the 1960s.
"I would never support closing this library," he said.
Council Chairman Michael Fairbanks and Councilor Mark Osborne said they wanted to hear both sides of the issue before making a final decision on the closing of the library. The budget workshop for the Taylor Library is scheduled for Tuesday, April 30.
"There's always one," said Osborne. "The only promise I can make to anyone is that I want to hear both sides of the issue. I have not made up my mind, but I will vote on this. We owe it to Mr. Anderson to hear why he made the decision he did."
During the introductory presentation of the budget to the council earlier this month, Anderson said he believes the Derry Public Library is better positioned and able to provide the services desired by Derry's residents today and in the future.
Several of the residents who spoke Tuesday night said the Taylor Library fills a need that the larger Derry Public Library cannot.
Ray Fontaine said that when he moved to Derry a decade ago, the library was the first place he sought out.
"It's all about the community, and we want our children involved in the community," he said. "This is the reason so many parents and children are here tonight. There is something intangible that you can't get at a bigger library."

Celebrity scientists
From Richard Dawkin to Brian Cox, from Sean Carroll to E. O. Willson, they have gave their talks here at TED, been on media, inspired and raised much of debates.
Who is your favorite scientist? Who haven't yet been on TED and should be invited to be on TED? and why? What is your opinion on 'Sci-celebrities'? Are they good model for kids, good educator, inspiring icon, or they are over-rated?
Feb 2 2013: As a psychology major wanting to become a neuroscientist, my favourite scientists are neuroscientists. VS Ramachandran might be called a minor celebrity (my neuropsych prof said that if there were Ramachandran action figures, he would buy one), and Oliver Sachs might be called a retired science celebrity. Then there's Antonio Damasio, who I wouldn't call a celebrity at all and, of course, Sam Harris, who we've probably all heard of.
I think science "celebrities" are important in the sense that they keep those of us without access to peer-reviewed scientific journals (or the educational background to decipher them) up to date on the latest ideas and findings in their fields, as well as for their popularization of science in general. Their celebrity, however, is usually due in large part to the popularity of the particular specialization of their field or their "extracurricular" activities. Dawkins, for example, is mostly famous for his criticisms of religion and his book, "The Selfish Gene", which was actually primarily a popularization of someone else's idea. Not to take anything away from him, but if he happened to have been born in an era when religious controversies were few and far between and evolution held less intrigue, he may not be quite the household name he is today.
There are soooooo many brilliant scientists out there doing fascinating work that no one has ever heard of, not because their work is less important or interesting, but because they just happen to be working in fields that people care very little about today. The only thing holding them back from notoriety is a lack of major modern social or political issues that their work has anything to say about, or, perhaps, a simple unwillingness to speak up about them.
Feb 3 2013: RE: Michael Behe. Upon what do you base your character assassination of Dr. Behe? Please be specific beyond vague generalization and personal opinion.The topic asks who might be good to invite to give a TED Talk, not who should not be invited. Thank you!
Feb 3 2013: google the damn thing already!
Feb 3 2013: Apparently you have said all you have to say on this because you are repeating yourself. Is this some new protocol you are promoting? Say anything you want and when asked for facts simply reply "Google the damn thing already!"? I'm old school so I prefer the more established,venerated protocol. . . . . Put up or shut up!. (I did research online and found nothing derogatory about Dr. Behe, but several items about a Marine sergeant).Feb 16 2013: I don't know about Behe's character but I am not impessed with him as a standout scientist, as someone who's efforts has clarified the workings of nature, or as someone who can explain science. His position, nothing new, on creationism/intelligent design, what he terms irreducible complexity, was smacked down again, in federal court (Kitzmiller v Dover).
I think decent people, even very intelligent people, can get on the intelligent design crazy train based on gut feelings alone. Neil deGrasse Tyson and others have spoken well and given historical examples about the tendency to invoke gods when we can't explain something. Many great minds have done that because they have run into something they could not fathom, only to have the mystery solved later....seems to me the default position should be to admit that we don't know, to try to be aware of our inate biases, rather than hold, with certainty, an alternate solution which is shown to be false.
Feb 16 2013: You would stand alone as an Evolutionist if you offered even a modicum of respect to Dr. Behe as a scientist. He flies in the face of Evoultion and is therefore categorically dismissed as a serious scientist by the always obedient science/socio/political establishment. His efforts. and many others like him, have clarified the workings of our universe and explained science. What possible advancement in understanding of our world can come from the Federal Court? Jurisprudence and politics can neither dictate nor prohibit scientific truth. Truly great minds do not manufacture explanations just to eliminate the unexplained. Simply invoking gods is no more a departure from the Scientific Method than is the Theory of Evolution. Dr. Behe, and many like him, proclaim the Emperor's nudity. There is another explanation of life on Earth although American students are carefully carefully shielded against exposure to it by the federal courts. Behe points-out the defects in Evolution. I agree 100% that we should always say we don't know whenever we don't know. We ought to stop inculcating our youngsters with unproven, theoretical possibilities and probabilities while telling them it is Truth and to deny or question it is illogical. Can I prove to you God created the universe? No. Can you prove to me the Universe created itself from nothing? No. Let's move forward from there and stop teaching only the latter to our children. Let's return to honest, ethical application of one of our greatest developments as a species. . . the Scientific Method! Long live the Scientific Method! Thank you sir.Jan 30 2013: Russell Stannard, Paul Davis, Seyi Oyesola and Trefor Jenkins.
Scientists are not meant to be celebrities because they should not be driven by the desire for fame as it is the case of the pop celebrities. But they should be celebrated within the intellectual community.
They are good role models for kids.Feb 4 2013: My choice would be Richard Feynman. Though he is no longer alive, and therefore could not be a TED speaker, many of his talks were recorded and thoroughly documented. And, he published many books, all of which share is great gift of being able to make complex, theoretical subjects understandable for almost anyone. He was genial, wry, creative, and smart.
His Wikipedia page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman
Feb 12 2013: My wife recently had to interview for a residency position and was tipped off that one of the Doctors on the panel likes to pose the question/situation, "teach me something", and the applicant is put on the spot and meant to squirm.
I had just finished watching Feynman talk about why a rubber band heats when expanded: http://hubski.com:8080/pub?id=54762 and showed it to her. She used a wide rubber band to clasp her papers while at the interview. When asked the question she removed the rubber band and asked her interviewer to put the rubber band in his mouth. She then said, "The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things....." -Thank you Mr. Feynman! It worked like a charm :)
Feb 12 2013: I have used that quote from Feynman many times, but had never actually watched the video where he uses it in context regarding a rubber band.
What a great video!
Thank you for sharing.
edward long
Jan 30 2013: I would like to see some non-Atheist, non-Darwinian scientists talk. And yes, there are such people on this earth, but none of them are celebrities. Here are the names of some: Paul Davies, Michael Behe, Russell Stannard, Gary Schwartz, Gerald Schroeder, Ernst-Michael Kranich, etc.
- +2
Jan 30 2013: Good idea! Thanks for your list. It would be great too if you will share the link for their published articles or video clips :)
Jan 30 2013: Science-minded folks who are interested will prefer to do the research themselves, after all, it is part of the Scientific Method.Jan 30 2013: behe on ted ... hope not
Jan 30 2013: The OP asks, "Who should be invited?". . . not who shouldn't. You only want talks by people with whom you agree? Boring.
Jan 30 2013: a crackpot is a crackpot.Feb 2 2013: I'm certainly in favor of hearing perspectives that aren't mine, but I want to hear them from people who are neither ignorant nor intellectually dishonest. I'm not sure whether Behe is a fool or a liar (or both), but he doesn't belong on a website like TED.Jan 30 2013: Have you read his works?
"For readers who have been persuaded that biologists have long since demonstrated the validity of Darwinian theory, Behe's observations are apt to be a source of astonishment." --David Berlinski
Behe's work is characterized by James Shapiro as: "A valuable critique of an all-too-often unchallenged orthodoxy."
He is qualified-contrary to your unsubstantiated charge- to give a challenging, boat-rocking talk on TED.
Jan 30 2013: no, he is not qualified. he is a qualified liar though.
edward long
Jan 30 2013: According to you Biochemistry Professor Michael Behe of Lehigh University, noted educator, successful author, and challenging speaker is a liar and a crackpot. Do you expect to be taken at your word?
- +1
Jan 30 2013: google is free to useJan 30 2013: Have you confused Dr. Michael Behe with Sgt. Mike Behenna?
Jan 30 2013: no. mr behe travels around the land broadcasting his "theory" about irreducible complexity, which was refuted numerous times. he just does not care. he continues to fool people with that.Feb 16 2013: I have heard, but not verified, that among top scientists roughly 15% are believers (in one god or another), the inverse of society as a whole. I would like to hear some of them talk, have a dialogue, about their religious beliefs and clearly lay out why they believe in their god, not just a generic god, but a specific god , the god of the catholic, the Jew, the Muslim, the Southern Baptist... I think it will become apparent to most objective viewers that even smart people often can't rise above cultural indoctrination - that for the most most part a person is Muslim or Baptist, not because of some inherent logic to that religion or denomination, but simply because a person was raised with those beliefs. The time and place of your birth matters....
Feb 16 2013: I do not share your interest in having TED Talks focusing on the doctrinal specifics of various religious scientists (other than Atheists). What I would like to see is more talks by scientists who offer explanations of our Universe from a perspective rigidly consistent with the Scientific Method, even, and especially, when those explanations are at variance with orthodoxy. There is more to life than the theories of Evolution and the Big Bang. Long live disciplined, cautious, sensible open-mindedness! Stop the prejudice!
Laura Yepes
Feb 14 2013: Brian Cox, he is amazing, I think is not so much about being good role models as it is about taking science to the public to create interest on different intellectual matters.
- +1
I guess Lawrence Krauss, Michio Kaku and Robert Sapolsky (Specially him) would be my dream TED talks
Feb 15 2013: Brian Cox is very good at public engagement. He make science like a "friendly guy next door", isn't he? :)
However, I don't know if you have seen his new documentary "Wonder of life"? It's enjoyable to watch; kind of biological world through eyes of physicist. But I think it could be better if there's a good biologist co-host this show. What do you think? :)
Thanks for your list, by the way, I'll check them out (especially Sapolsky :)). I like Michio Kaku too!Feb 12 2013: My favorite scientist is a young canadian named Cadell Last. He started a website called "The Advanced Apes" which strives to bring science writers together and encourage young people to get excited about science. It focuses largely on primatology but all of the sciences seem to be represented. Here's a link: http://www.theadvancedapes.com/ It's nice to see an emerging crop of young scientists willing to take the torch and continue popularizing the various disciplines.
You never mention who your favorite scientist is, who is it Kelwalin?
Feb 14 2013: Wow! Thanks for your link :)
I have quite a lot of favorite ones. Newton, Schrodinger, Feynman, Curie, Darwin, Hook, are special to me.
The young blood like Brian Greene, Sean Carol, Sebastian Seung, etc. are good at explain complicate stuffs to general public; I like them too.
Feb 15 2013: Good choices Kelwalin. I know this is often mentioned, but we need someone to pick up the mantle that Sagan once held. To popularize not just "science" but inquisitiveness. Children are by nature curious and somehow we manage to rid them of this. Some people remain curious and its these people that end up our scientists, artists etc. There's more exciting science than ever before and there are more media apparatus for conveying the discoveries, advancements and ideas than ever before. Recently, I have been encouraged to see organizations like NASA begin to embrace making "exciting" videos like this one: http://hubski.com/pub?id=36252 about the Curiosity rover's landing plan. -It's a fantastic video, it's exciting! In the past it would have been drab.
All of the sciences need to get better at communicating the excitement behind what they're doing. I think CERN has done a great job of this. The Higgs Boson is probably the least understood (by non scientists) but most celebrated discovery of 2012. Why? Because they've done a nice job of packaging it and selling the enthusiasm to the public. We need more of that energy!

Feb 4 2013: He's sort of a rising star at this point but Neil deGrasse Tyson has to be inspiring people to don the ugly white labcoat. Bill Nye did a lot for the average American too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbYJfwFgOUJan 31 2013: My sister is my favorite scientist, call me bias however many would say she is exceptional in the area of math and science. Having said that much I don't think we could invite her to participate in TED as she is a computer scientist and her level of participation on the internet is limited considering her career and its constraints.
The point of this comment is to say that all too often we look to well known scientists abroad and perhaps there is a hero close at hand that one might be taking for granted.
I was always afraid of the sciences until a wise man pointed out a few philosophical points and having done so a cathartic moment came to surface, anyone can be a scientist irregardless of schooling and degrees, although these elements assist greatly we are all scientists at heart if we want to be we have the tools to move forward and all too often we are scientists without realizing it.
Returning to your question however my sister is a scientist by way of education and merit and she would be my hero at large.Jan 31 2013: G'day Kelwalin
Celebrity scientists are usually light hearted & humorous at times within their curricular which is great for people who have little understanding of such knowing. As a child growing up we had a science prof called Julius Sumner Miller on TV, he made you sit up & watch & there are numerous other celebrity scientists who do the same today.
MathewJan 30 2013: Parents and teachers are ideally good models for kids because they are accessible. Many of these science celebrities are not available to anyone outside the media.
Celebrity scientist who have an agenda outside promoting good science are over-rated. Unless there is a natural disaster, where a scientist is asked to comment, most are promoting a new book related to their brand of science. With that in mind, I think they are all over rated.
Never seen one give a lecture on what it means to have good character and ethics as a scientist. What could be more important than that.

Jan 31 2013: I agree with you, Jamal, that many scientists who bask in the celebrity spotlight are over-rated. There are some who are the real thing. And some "science" celebrities are not scientists at all, though they may think of themselves that way, using "we" to include themselves in a category of which they are not a part. [We have a TED talk about neuro-bunk, the practice of trying to take legitimate scientific findings into illegtimate or pseudoscientific extrapolations. In my opinion we could use a similar talk about quantum bunk].
- +1
Feb 4 2013: Are you sure TED would allow a Quantum Bunk talk? Many celebrity scientist are quantum physicist or the like (String Theorist) and they have amazing influence in physics, astrophysics and mathematics. I know because they stopped the most important paper in all three fields from receiving the exposure the research deserves in the USA and Europe.
Einstein's work is already complete, peer-review published, conferenced and it has a minor astronomy report outside the USA. The national and international public paid billions to see that research and its answers. I wish TED was the right forum to make the public aware.
Feb 4 2013: I would not expect TED to invite a talk that promotes pseudoscience. Technically that subject is also outside the terms of use of TED Conversations as well.
The talk about neuro-bunk was not promoting false representations of neuroscience. Rather, it was about how people try to use legitimate science to support theories and products the science in no way supports. I would expect TED to allow a talk about how results in a science are in popular culture often distorted to support various agendae.
Do you know the book written by an MIT physicist, I think, called Voodoo Science. It is specifically about these common misrepresentations and misinterpretations of science.Feb 4 2013: TED invited Brian Greene, to talk about String Theory which is a pseudoscience. There is no experimental evidence today or expected to be in the future to support the claims he and other invitees make about strings.
There are facts and then there is the interpretation of facts: String Theory is a pseudoscientific interpretation of real scientific observations. They have no problems promoting that brand of voodoo in any media outlets. It is the benefits of amazing influence. Let me guess, this MIT physicist did not include any of his fellow scientist at MIT. Princeton, Harvard and MIT are the centers for STring Theory
Feb 4 2013: I misunderstood you before.
I read Voodoo Science so long ago that I cannot remember who he took on.Jan 30 2013: neil degrasse tyson: gold

Have you seen the Symphony of Science Site?
It was researching a science topic for my students that I came upon it, and then through researching some of the scientists on that site that I connected to Jill Bolte's Ted talk and the site itself.
I would love to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson on TED...........and of course, if Richard Feynman were still alive, I would have loved to have heard him give a TED talk.

Jan 30 2013: I have seen this....parts of it are put to music on the Symphony of science site....BUT....I really would have loved to have seen him on the TED stage.....and go on and on for like an hour.
Dr. Feynman died in 1988. A great loss.
Have you clicked on my link above? There's a great video on "We are stardust"....that has a clip of him.
[EDIT] OOPS....it is the Quantum Theory video that has a nice bit by Feynman.....check it out.
"The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things"..Richard FeynmanJan 30 2013: Thanks for links :)
I love Feynman! I haven't yet seen any Neil's talk, but he seems a hit. Would you like to share the link? That would be very awesome :)
Jan 30 2013: Hi Kelwalin,
Here is a great 6 minute interview with Neil done by Time.
You will be pleasantly surprised, in that he will answer your question as well, as to who is his favorite scientist and why..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiOwqDmacJoFeb 17 2013: Yes, I have seen it, in fact I first looked into it because of Brian, and I expected it to be more about physics, but I liked it anyway. And even though he is not a biologist it would be great (in my dream world) if Sapolsky was his co-host..Feb 16 2013: One of my current favorite thinkers and expositors is philosopher A C Grayling who can be seen on YouTube as can many other thinkers along with, unfortunately, many posers. Grayling can speak better than many noted scientists on the use of science and reason to understand the world around us. Not 100% sure, but don't think he has been on TED.
Prof Grayling can be seen at The Science Network ( thesciencenetwork.org ) which is home to many good talks as well as panel discussions . Highly recommended. Roger Bingham does an excellent job as interviewer and ringmaster. Two of many interesting panel discussions are What Is Life and Beyond Belief.Feb 14 2013: No. No. No.
In this insane world of celebrities and celebrity worship, the last thing i want to see is a "Celebrity scientist".

When he goes on about what aliens might look like or how they might behave, and other similar rants, he exceeds my toleration level.Jan 30 2013: Kelwalin, It is nice to grant a title of celebrity scientists to these great minds ... and I agree. However, There remains a great problem. I will use examples from the USA. If convased in high school who could name the nobel prize winner for last year ... few .... who could name the top ten students ... some ... who could name last years valvictorian ... relatives ... who could name the last four quarterbacks for the footbball team .... the majority.
Steven Hawkins is not a star because of his mind .. he is a star because of his ability to overcome his handicap and his contributions are an inspiration.
This is basically a geek webstie ... most here recognize the names and could probally tell you the field ... but this is the choir you are preaching to.
The question should be how do we get todays youth involved in math and science. Look at this years tech show in Vegas. All of the new "gadgets" were where the money is ... new cell phones ... new TV ... new apps .... new computer ... erverything.
I did not see one stall that hyped "green" ... CERN discoveries / projects .... better medicine .... and I ask myself why. Because there is no future or money in these things that we at TED admire.
Only because I break the word down do I see Immunology as the study of the immune system .... if you were to go to Wal Mart ... the grocery store ..... local pub ... or ask on the street ... how many people would know what you do.
This is a very selfish .. self centered generation ... they judge by your cloths, address, your car, your job, your salary, your title .... In short they could care less about science that does not impact them here and now. The science they respect is those who brew their drink and drugs.
Yes this is a dark picture ... but one we must face and work to overcome. How?
I wish you well. Bob.
Jan 30 2013: Thanks for taking you time to discuss. I'm really glad you did, cause I wished to see this kind of answer and wish that this conversation can expand and go on.
I know that some or many, scientists on telly are considered celebrity cause of their contributions to science + "the extra factor". It's true that all the rest of "greatest minds" should be more recognisable. (i.e. those who got Nobel, etc.). But these scientists on media, in my opinion, play important role in sciences education and public engagement. I think that if we have more of them or promote our shy greatest minds, this will encourage kids to have more intention in sciences. Then from that, hopefully, when these become a demand, there will be more of good science.
There must be more than one way to inspire kids. I only think this is one of many. I wish kids will have more scientist idols :)
Gail .
Jan 30 2013: The TV series "Through the Wormhole" explores the sciences in depth and outlines some of the major and minor theories that have evolved from experiments. It's an awesome show. Unfortunately, in my area, the science channel is one of those extra channels that cost more. Too bad. The regions that need this information the most are those who can least afford it.Feb 16 2013: I think you are over generalizing today's generation. I would argue that past generations would be even more inept at naming nobel prize winners, or current scientists, in comparison to today. Regardless, though, I agree with your bigger question - how do we get kids more involved in science/math. I believe this is being done by non-professionals...What I mean here is that kids are being inspired by the reporters of current research, not by the researchers themselves. This should make sense. If current researchers were educating the general public then they would not be doing research work! Some examples of "reporters" would be sites such as Veritasium, Vsauce, CPG Grey, ViHart, etc. As someone who has been working with kids for the past decade, I hear more and more talk (and excitement) about sites like these. This also leads me to believe that today's children are much more informed about science and math than pretty much any past generations (anyone that disagrees may be blinded by nostalgia).

Feb 16 2013: Ben, You had me in your corner nodding agreement right up to the last sentence. If I disagree with you then something is wrong with me.
Sorry you feel that way. Bob.
Feb 16 2013: Bob
I did draw a pretty hard line there (which was not my real intention). However, I do feel that often times current generations take the brunt of the abuse from older generations - I'm sure this is not unique to present times. While it is certainly not always a " my generation is better than yours" mentality, it does seem to be a prevalent feeling. This is where I was coming from when I said nostalgia may be to blame.

Welder certification
Welder certification
depends if your wanting d1.1 or d1.3. I'm d1.1 cert and I can't weld on anything less than a 1/8 inch 1.3 is basically sheet metal I'm told. As far as test it cost 200$ all I did was a 3G and 4g. 1/2 inch plate test. no power tools allowed for cleaning.
Smaw I suppose.
3/8" plate test certifies you for 3/4" max structural.
3/4" plate test certifies you for unlimited thickness structural.
Then you have positions.
What you want to get is vertical up
& overhead to cover. All.
Have a grinder handy some inspectors let you use them.
Use a coarse sanding pad or flapper wheel to prep plates and backing plate where your welding. (Before tacking together)
Get comfortable relax and take your time.
Your also only getting your test plates checked twice.
Once after your root pass. For penetration and no undercut. If you pass this inspection you can keep going if not. Youll. Have to test all over again at a later date.
Second after completing your cover pass. Also make sure to have no undercut.
Good luck.

I hold an all position SMAW structural ticket with the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB). CSA standard W47.1 class S
This was done on 3/8" plate and qualifies me for 3mm-unlimited thickness carbon steel.
The first time you do this test, you do all 4 positions. 2 years later to renew the ticket you do one plate. Vertical up root on the square side then over head for the rest of the plate.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I do. I need to get outside and feel the sun so that I don't feel all cooped up and crazy. It is only supposed to be about 35 today but I don't care. I am layering up and heading out to play.
During winter each day that I can play seems like a bonus because I just don't expect to get that many rounds in.
Views: 305
I need to get my fix.
Pfft! 35 isn't winter, unless it has one of these "-" in front of it.
I have played through winter, and taken winters off from disc golf. I survived both ways.
I live near Ann Arbor, and it's winter in Michigan 10 months out if the year :) My only beef with playing in the winter is the sun is gone by 5pm. I'll play in almost any weather. Lightning is really the only thing that kind of spooks me off, and then even still I will debate on playing a round :)
Get out and play no matter the weather!
Nice Harold! That is Awesome. Can't WAIT to have enough property someday to build my own course....
You bet, I warm up the Wii and play some Tiger Woods Golf which has a Disc Golf Course LOL
I may start working out and Training this winter to become a better Throwing Player !
You're so funny Donny.

A year after leaving them for Sauber, Nico Hulkenberg is set to rejoin Force India after signing a multi-year deal, the outfit confirmed on Tuesday.
The German was a test driver at Force India in 2011 and was given a race seat in 2012, so it is an environment he's not unfamiliar with.
"I am happy to come back to Force India," said Hulkenberg, who was also linked with a move to Lotus before Pastor Maldonado was announced as Kimi Raikkonen's replacement.
"The team is aiming high for next year and I believe that the experience I have gained over the years will help us achieve those goals.
"I genuinely believe we can have a competitive package in 2014.
"I've heard a lot of positive things about the Mercedes engine as well, so I think there is a lot to be excited about for next year.
"I know this team and I can see their determination; it's a great bunch of people and we all share the same hunger for success."
Team boss Vijay Mallya added: "I'm delighted to see Nico back with Force India.
"When he drove for us in 2012, it became clear Nico was an exceptional talent and he has continued to impress everyone in the paddock with his strong performances this season.
"Having Nico in our line-up is a real statement of intent and a huge boost for everyone associated with the team.
"We have high hopes and expectations for 2014 and by signing Nico we have put ourselves in the best position to achieve those objectives and enjoy what could be our most competitive season yet."
Force India also said it would announce its second driver soon.

Age takes its toll on our skin, just as it does on other parts of our bodies. Exposure to sunlight and oxygen throughout the years produces unstable molecules called free radicals, which cause inflammation, damage skin cells, and ultimately increase the risk of developing skin cancer.
Although no magic pill can make you look 20 years younger, you can help your skin look as young as possible in a variety of ways. You probably already know the three surest ways to ensure youthful skin: protect your skin from the sun, don't smoke, and eat a healthy diet.
Vitamins and Antioxidants for Skin
In addition to lifestyle changes, a variety of vitamins and antioxidants may also improve the health and quality of your skin. Although some vitamin and antioxidant treatments work from the outside in, others work from the inside out, targeting the harmful effects of sun damage and free radicals under the skin's surface.
Eileen Ross started taking antioxidants to improve her health but shifted the focus to her skin when she started reading up on their benefits. "I developed a cocktail of vitamins and supplements so that I got the ones that were most beneficial for me," says the 46-year-old preschool director from Smyrna, Ga.
After she started taking her "cocktail," which includes vitamins E, C, B-12, and selenium, Ross noticed that she was getting more compliments on her skin. "I've heard that my skin is flawless or it looks very beautiful, very smooth," she says.
Research is finding that some vitamins and antioxidants can reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the look of the skin, and protect against further sun damage. Here are a few of the most effective vitamins and antioxidants for the skin:
Vitamins C and E and Selenium for Your Skin
Research has found that vitamins C and E, as well as selenium, can help protect the skin against sun damage and skin cancer and can actually reverse some of the discoloration and wrinkles associated with aging and sun exposure. These antioxidants work by speeding up the skin's natural repair systems and by directly inhibiting further damage, says Karen E. Burke, MD, PhD, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine's department of dermatology.
Although you can find these nutrients in skin creams, the challenge with applying vitamins E and C to the skin is that the concentration in most creams tends to be low, and they can lose their effectiveness when exposed to air and light.
Burke recommends taking supplements containing 1,000 to 3,000 milligrams of vitamin C, 400 international units of vitamin E (in the D-alpha-tocopherol form), and 100-200 micrograms of selenium (l-selenomethionine) to gain the most benefit. (Don't give selenium to children until they have all of their adult teeth because it can interfere with the proper formation of tooth enamel).
If you do use a topical form of these antioxidants, the most potent products contain 15% to 20% of vitamin C (non-esterified), 2% to 5% of vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol), and .02% to .05% selenium (l-selenomethionine).
Coenzyme Q10 for Your Skin
Coenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant in the body that helps the cells grow and protects them from the ravages of cancer. A drop in natural levels of coenzyme Q10 that occurs in our later years is thought to contribute to the skin aging process. A study published in the journal Biofactors found that applying coenzyme Q10 to the skin helped minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Most studies conducted so far have used a 0.3% concentration of coenzyme Q10.
Alpha-lipoic Acid for Your Skin
This antioxidant, when applied topically, may help protect the skin from sun damage. Studies have looked at creams with 3%-5% concentration, applied every other day and building up slowly to once daily, and found some improvement in sun-induced changes in the skin.
When applied topically in higher concentrations, alpha-lipoic acid can cause adverse effects in some people.
Retinoic Acid for Your Skin
Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A in the skin, and the "gold standard" in anti-aging skin care, according to Burke. Topical retinoic acid (brand names Retin-A and Renova) treats fine wrinkles, age spots, and rough skin caused by sun exposure. In a study conducted at the Skin Research Institute in Korea and published in the Journal of Dermatological Science, researchers found that treatment with retinoic acid restored the elastic fibers that keep skin taut, and reduced the appearance of wrinkles.
Retinoic acid comes in gel and cream forms, which are typically used once a day. Although dermatologists used to believe that retinoic acid made the skin more sensitive to the sun, they now know that it actually protects against further sun damage. However, if you apply it in too high of a concentration and too often, retinoic acid can cause side effects -- such as redness, extreme dryness, and peeling. Burke recommends starting with a low concentration (retinoic acid products range from 0.01% in gels to 0.1% in creams) and applying it once every second or third night to reverse photo damage more slowly.
Flavonoids (Green Tea and and Chocolate) for Your Skin
Green tea and yes, even chocolate, just might help improve your skin. Research suggests that the flavonoids in green tea might protect the skin from cancer and inflammation. A German study in the Journal of Nutrition found that women who drank hot cocoa with a high flavonoid concentration for three months had softer, smoother skin than women who drank hot cocoa with a lower flavonoid concentration.
Another study, this one in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, found that women whose skin was treated with green tea extract were more protected against the adverse effects of sunlight exposure. Although the results look promising so far, more research is needed to prove that flavonoids work and to determine the best dose, according to Burke.
B Vitamins for Your Skin
The B vitamins are essential for cells throughout the body, including skin cells. It's important to get enough of foods rich in B vitamins, such as chicken, eggs, and fortified grain products because a B vitamin deficiency can lead to dry, itchy skin.
Research is showing that some B vitamins are beneficial when applied to the skin.
For example, in one study of hairless mice, researchers in Kawasaki, Japan, found topical application of an antioxidant derived from vitamin B-6 protected against sun-induced skin damage and decreased wrinkles.
Other Antioxidants
There are many other plant-based extracts being studied for their positive effects on the skin, either when ingested or applied topically. Examples are rosemary, tomato paste (lycopene), coenzyme Q10, grape seed extract, pomegranate, and soy. Some experts feel that a blend of many different antioxidants and extracts might be more effective than individual products. The final answer about the best doses and extracts remains to be determined by researchers.
Evaluating the Claims on Vitamins for Skin Care
Companies often claim that their products can give you miraculous results, but don't believe all the hype. Although nutritional supplements and cosmeceuticals (products that combine cosmetics and pharmaceutical ingredients) are tested for safety, their benefits aren't necessarily confirmed in studies.
Even though a product may claim to contain useful antioxidants such as vitamin C or E, it's often difficult to know exactly how much of these vitamins and antioxidants are in the bottle. Vitamins and antioxidants need to be in strong enough concentrations, and in the correct forms, to remain stable and to be effective. If you are thinking about using a vitamin or antioxidant for your skin, it's best to ask your dermatologist for advice before buying it.
Lifestyle Solutions for Beauty and Skin Care
Don't forget: Practicing healthy lifestyle habits is the most important step you can take to protect youthful skin.
"Staying out of the sun and wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen have been shown to reduce photo-aging and to have anticancer effects," says Robin Ashinoff, MD, director of cosmetic dermatology and Mohs surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey.
Choose a sunscreen with a sun-protection factor (SPF) of at least 25 (30 or more in the summer), and one that protects against both ultraviolet A and B rays. Reapply the sunscreen at least every 90 minutes. Stay in the shade or indoors when the sun is at its strongest (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and avoid tanning beds. When you do go outside, wear sun-protective clothing and a hat with a wide brim all the way around. As part of your skin care regimen, use only moisturizers with an SPF of 15 or more to keep your skin hydrated and protected.
Diet is another potent way of practicing good skin care. Skin nutrition includes a diet low in saturated fat and rich in fruits and vegetables, which not only will help keep you healthier on the inside, but also may protect your skin from cancer. Healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, help produce the skin's natural oil barrier, critical in keeping skin hydrated, plumper, and younger looking. Load up on foods high in omega-3s and vitamins and antioxidants for the skin, including:
- Selenium -- Brazil nuts, turkey, cod
- Vitamin B-2 -- Milk, enriched grain products, eggs
- Vitamin B-6 -- Chicken, fish, nuts
- Vitamin B-12 -- Clams, liver, trout, fortified cereals
- Vitamin C -- Citrus fruits, red peppers, broccoli
- Vitamin E -- Sunflower oil, whole grains, nuts
- Omega-3s – Salmon and other cold-water fish, ground flaxseeds, walnuts
Get the vitamin D you need to protect your bones from dairy foods and supplements, rather than from spending hours sun worshipping. The recommended dietary allowance of vitamin D is 200 international units (IU) daily for adults 19 to 50 years, 400 IU/day for adults 51 to 70, and 600 IU/day after age 70. Although these are the current RDA levels, most research data show higher doses (1,000 to 2,000 IU/day) are safe and beneficial.
Finally, ditch the cigarettes. Smoking not only leads to wrinkles on your face, but research in the Archives of Dermatology finds that it also can lead to skin damage in areas (such as under the arm) that haven't even been exposed to the sun.

Open your eyes. A bright, large-aperture zoom lens, a big, extra-sensitive image sensor and other brilliant features are ready to fire up your passion to create. It's the new RX10 – the compact digital camera that puts boundless picture-taking power in your hands and a fresh new outlook in your sights.
Close-up shooting is seamless. No switching to macro mode is needed. Zoom in all the way up to extreme telephoto on a subject as near as 30cm away. The built-in lens makes it more convenient for you to take impressive shots throughout a big range.
An advanced aspherical lens (AA lens) reduces diameter and length, and maintains high resolution even at image edges. A new Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) stops lens movement with spot-on precision. Far-reaching optical flexibility minimizes mechanical dimensions. Precise alignment of the image sensor and lens also perfectly combines diminutive form and outsized performance.
Boasting a 20.2MP 1.0-inch Exmor R® CMOS sensor with back-illuminated technology and approximately 4x larger light-sensitive area, RX10 harnesses light and reduces image noise in ways other compact DSC (digital still cameras) can't match. Combined with the high settings of a wide ISO range, even photos of dimly lit scenes look incredibly clear, crisp, and lifelike.
The groundbreaking new BIONZ® X image processing engine not only maximizes picture quality in ways that only a seamlessly unified body and lens design can realize – it also faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, with peerless high-speed processing. The experience of shooting and viewing stills and movies expands your senses by depicting true realism with richer tonal gradations and lower image noise than was previously possible. With such a high magnitude of power ready for every situation, BIONZ X naturally leads toward better ways to capture the world in full glory.
High-speed AF is remarkably smooth thanks to the Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) with precision-engineered focusing stop positions designed to minimize focusing lens travel distance, which shortens focusing time.
Choose among three concentric Flexible Spot frames for greater focusing versatility and precision than other cameras' fixed-focus spot frame systems can provide.
Just press the shutter button halfway to activate Lock-on AF. It precisely focuses even on moving subjects by continuously adjusting target frame size based on its recognition of subject characteristics. You can easily stay focused on the main action because this object tracking innovation optimizes autofocus timing. Even when a subject goes out of frame temporarily, tracking resumes at the moment that it is recaptured after re-entering the frame.
Applying advanced detection technology, this new Eye AF function detects and focuses on a subject's eye, even if the subject is facing or looking slightly away from the camera. Then, a blinking green frame appears on that eye in the viewfinder image to indicate the point of focus for the upcoming shot.
Record Full HD movies in the AVCHD Progressive, 1920 x 1080 format and select between supremely smooth-looking 60p or cinematically expressive 24p shooting modes. To maintain clear, steady movie shooting results, optical image stabilization in Active mode effectively reduces camera shake.
The RX10 has plenty of features to realize more of the potential in your movies. To record sound with precision worthy of professional production, connect a high-performance microphone through an input terminal. Monitor pristine stereo sound through premium-quality Sony headphones plugged into the headphone jack. A built-in HDMI output terminal also accommodates connection of a TV, computer or DVD player/recorder. Audio metering and recording level control are instrumental to keeping soundtracks smooth and consistent. Use the camera's Multi Interface Shoe and an optional XLR Adaptor Kit to hook up external recording, flash and other accessories. It all adds up to a set of professional-class capabilities that is unprecedented among all other compact cameras.
Connect via the HDMI terminal to transfer clear, uncompressed digital movie signal output from the RX10 to an external monitor/recorder simultaneously in real time. Or, for a cleaner view, turn off the shooting info display and watch your movies unfold on an external monitor/recorder.
See spectacular clarity, contrast and detail in every scene, regardless of conditions, on the built-in, bright, high-resolution OLED Tru-Finder™. Four dual-sided aspherical lenses provide a big, approximately 33-degree view angle and maintain excellent edge-to-edge visibility of the electronic viewfinder.
For faster, more intuitive camera operation, you can customize a total of seven buttons by assigning up to 40 types of functions among them. As a result, you will gain more convenient access to your selection of frequently used functions, right at your fingertips.
Use the manual ring to directly control certain settings, zooming and focusing, according to the focus mode in use. In addition, before turning the aperture ring to set F-stop, you can turn Aperture Click Switch on for a stepwise feel of assurance, or off for a quiet, smooth feel when setting the aperture. Display panels on top lets you glance at key settings without moving the camera as you look through the viewfinder.
Magnesium alloy top and front casings make RX10 light, solid and robust enough for long, rigorous use by advanced photographers and videographers. Shoot in rugged outdoor environments without worry as the dust- and moisture-resistant design gives you that added level of confidence to follow your subject wherever they may roam.
A new, improved graphical user interface makes access to frequently used functions absolutely effortless. Just press the Fn button to display a list of them.
Shoot comfortably from various positions via an approximately 1,229K-dot tiltable 3.0-type White Magic™ LCD screen. The display has the flexibility to be tilted within a range of angles extending from about 84 degrees upward to about 45 degrees downward.
Download the free PlayMemories Mobile™ app and instantly connect via Wi-Fi® or NFC (near field communication) by touching a compatible Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera. Then, you can remotely control the camera's shutter release from that other mobile device, instantly receive the image on the device and upload transferred images to a social networking site.
The DSCRX10 records HD movies in the XAVC S2 format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4 wrapper. The highly compressed files allow extensive record times. With 50Mbps Full HD (1920x1080) 60p high quality video recording, XAVC S enables beautiful video recording with minimal compression noise even in scenes with a lot of movement. Linear PCM is adopted for audio compression.

2008 MLB All-Star Game July 15, 2008 A Panoramic View of Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY - The Rob Arra Collection
Add a moment of history, and a historic monument, to your wall! Welcome to The House That Ruth Built, baseball's most historic landmark, home of the most successful franchise in major sports history, during one of the many (and perhaps most) legendary moments of the farewell season. The All-Star Game brought the baseball world together in New York, and for the occasion, no less than 49 Hall of Famers gathered on the field before the game's first pitch. With all the players - current and former - on the field looking on, and an emotional Yogi Berra is introduced at home plate for the last time...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From legendary panoramic sports photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images collection, this print is a true classic, with the stadium looking better than ever, and the array of talent never being better. From a close-in vantage point somewhere around the 15th row above the dugout, you can make out many of the greatest names the game has ever seen - Yogi, Gary Carter, Steve Carlton, Dennis Eckersley, Ferguson Jenkins, Phil Neikro, Gaylord Perry, Bob Feller, Juan Marichal, Whitey Ford, Mike Schmidt, Brooks Robinson, Ernie Banks, Cal Ripken Jr., Ryne Sandberg, as well as current all-stars Chipper Jones, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Joe Mauer, and many more! From the fans in the stands, to the players on the field, to monument park, to the raucous bleachers, to the wall of billboards and scoreboards, to the row of flags atop the facade, all of the aura and mystique is here, in brilliant color and clarity. A true work of photograpic sports art for your wall, and a valuable collector's item for years to come - a must for the wall of any true fan of the most famous stadium on earth!

Surprisingly "Difference between transient and volatile keyword in Java" has asked many times on various java interview. volatile and transient are two completely different keywords from different areas of Java programming language. transient keyword is used during serialization of Java object while volatile is related to visibility of variables modified by multiple thread during concurrent programming. Only similarity between volatile and transient is that they are less used or uncommon keywords and not as popular as public, static or final. Anyway its good to know what transient keyword do in Java or how to use volatile keyword in Java. In this article we will couple of points between volatile and transient which can be used to answer this interview question.
This article is in continuation of earlier interview question on serialization like difference between Serializable and Externaliable and Top 10 Java serialization interview question. If you haven't read them already you may find them useful and interesting.
Difference between volatile and transient keyword in Java
1) transient keyword is used along with instance variables to exclude them from serialization process. if a field is transient its value will not be persisted. see my post what is transient keyword in java for more details. On the other hand volatile keyword can also be used in variables to indicate compiler and JVM that always read its value from main memory and follow happens-before relationship on visibility of volatile variable among multiple thread. see my post how and when to use volatile keyword in Java for more details.
2) transient keyword can not be used along with static keyword but volatile can be used along with static.
3) transient variables are initialized with default value during de-serialization and there assignment or restoration of value has to be handled by application code.
That's all on difference between transient and volatile keyword in java. As I said this interview question doesn't really test you and just try to find whether you are familiar with those less known keywords in java or not. Let us know if you come across any other difference between volatile and transient keyword in java.

Round 16 - Korea 12-14 October 2012
Venue: Yeongam
Circuit Length: 5.615 Km
Laps: 55
Lap Record: 1:39.605 = 202.941 km/h, S. Vettel (Red Bull Renault) 2011
2011 Results
Pole Position: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes); 1:35.820 = 210.958 km/h
1st: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault) 1:38.01.994 (av. race speed = 188.893 km/h)
2nd: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), 12.019s behind
3rd: Mark Webber (Red Bull Renault), 12.477s behind
Fastest Lap: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault); 1:39.605 = 202.941 km/h on lap 55
Okay, the sequence you need is 2 - 5 - 4. No, it's not the new Da Vinci code, nor is it the key to your South Korean bank account. It means two drivers have five races in which to sort out the four-point gap that separates them in their pursuit of the 2012 title, and you don't need us to tell you their names are Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel. Realistically, these are the two horses left in the race, even though both Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton might like to think otherwise.
Ferrari's Fernando has never started from pole position, or even the front row, in the two previous Korean races, but he did make history by winning the first race there in 2010 when Sebastian's Red Bull expired. Seb has started from the front row both times and was on pole in 2010; he made up for that year's disappointment with victory last year. But so far no driver has won in Korea from pole position. Will team orders – aimed at Felipe Massa and Mark Webber – raise their unlovely head again this weekend?
As usual, our own Webber has a very succinct way of summing up the venue for the 16th round of the 2012 World Championship. "Like a fast Budapest," he calls Yeongam, referring to its first flat-out section – three straights, one of which measures 1.2km, with a couple of corners to link them – and its very busy, technical second half. The 5.615km Tilke-designed track packs 18 corners in, 11 of them left-handers, and its 55 laps will place considerable strain on the cars' braking capabilities.
Pirelli bring their P Zero Yellow (soft) and Red (supersoft) combination and predict that the latter will last 10+ laps, the former 20+, which means a two-stopper is a strong possibility. It's also anti-clockwise, just to test those neck muscles, and around 60% of it is spent at full throttle, with engines on high-performance duty thanks to the circuit sitting at sea level near the major port city of Mokpo.
Webber, a podium finisher at Yeongam last year, will be hoping for a longer crack at Korea than he got at Suzuka last weekend. The man who ended his race there so prematurely is also promising to be on his best behaviour. "I've sat down and looked at things again with the team; for sure it's still an area we need to improve," says Lotus driver Romain Grosjean, stating the obvious. "We're clearly focusing on this area for the next races." The Frenchman's team principal agrees: "We understand what has to be done," says Eric Boullier. "I think in Singapore to an extent and in Suzuka he was almost trying to overcompensate by focusing on staying out of trouble, which in the last race had the opposite effect…"
Raikkonen, third but 37 points adrift of Alonso, has never raced at Yeongam. Obviously he's been putting in long hours in the simulator, hasn't he? Oh, no he hasn't: "I know some drivers work hard in simulators to learn a new circuit, but they are not for me," says the Finn. "I have never played the Playstation or spent too much time in the simulator and it doesn't seem to have affected my performance in the past." So how does he learn a new circuit? Answer: "I drive it."
Hamilton, fourth but 42 points adrift of Alonso, goes to Korea with high hopes after an encouraging late-race stint at Suzuka. Yeongam yielded Lewis's only pole of 2011, and so far he has been second on both occasions there. "I think we've had the potential to win both Korean Grands Prix in the past, but I've never had a race weekend there on which everything has gone quite right for me," he insists. "We've got momentum on our side once again, so I head to Korea determined to fight for victory."
McLaren team-mate Jenson Button also puts Yeongam in a nutshell: "The Korean International Circuit is quite a demanding place – every time you feel you're settling into a rhythm, the track changes direction quite unexpectedly. It doesn't have the flow of some of the other new modern facilities we've been to in recent years, such as the Buddh International Circuit or Istanbul Park." JB may be out of the title hunt but he's just three behind Mark Webber and a big threat to the Aussie's fifth place.
While Vettel and Alonso hog the headlines, don't forget the intriguing tussles going on further back in the field. A stunning podium from Kamui Kobayashi in Japan helped Sauber close the gap on Mercedes to 20 points and the Swiss team have fifth place in the Constructors' standings in their sights. That would be a throw-back to the heady days of 2001, when they were fourth, and 2002, when they were fifth – although like everyone else they were just picking up the crumbs from the all-conquering Ferraris' table. One of the drivers who helped them to that 2001 result – their best as an independent outfit – was a young bloke by the name of Raikkonen… By our reckoning, leaving aside their BMW days, this will be Sauber's 250th Grand Prix in their own right.
Last but not least, Dan Ricciardo heads to Yeongam looking for a third successive points-scoring finish and a fourth in five races. He is currently on seven points and the last of the drivers who have actually scored, but he's just a single point behind team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne and he has an advantage this weekend – JEV has never been to Yeongam. Both drivers are very hopeful of having done enough already to convince the hard-to-please Toro Rosso hierarchy they should keep their seats for 2013.
