Visit IMLS Facebook Page and Share Your Story
Washington, DC—The Institute of Museum and Library Services today announced 33 finalists for the National Medal for Museum and Library Service. The National Medal is the nation's highest honor conferred on museums and libraries for service to the community and celebrates institutions that make a difference for individuals, families, and communities.
"Museums and libraries are gathering places that provide invaluable services to their visitors. This year's finalists exemplify the positive impact these institutions make," said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. "People of all ages seek out these institutions for opportunities to advance their education, to learn new skills for the 21st century, for cultural connections, and for civic engagement. From an urban art museum to a small town local library, these finalists provide communities a safe space in which to learn, imagine, and dream."
IMLS is encouraging those who have visited finalist libraries and museums to share their story on the IMLS Facebook page, www.facebook.com/USIMLS. Visit the IMLS Facebook page to learn more about how these institutions make an impact.

Product Line(s)
Cisco 3600 Series
The Cisco 3640/3640A server is equipped with four network module slots, and the Cisco 3620 has two network module slots. Dial connectivity is supported with a series of network modules offering Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Primary Rate Interface (PRI), ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI), integrated digital and analog modems, very high density asynchronous interfaces, two and four port Voice/Fax, 25-Mbps ATM, low-speed asynchronous/synchronous serial, and hardware compression assisted network modules. LAN and WAN connectivity are provided by a series of mixed-media cards supporting Ethernet, Token Ring, and a variety of WAN technologies. Routing applications are supported with high-density Ethernet and a single-port, autosensing, Fast Ethernet network module. Voice and Fax multiservice applications are also supported with integrated voice network modules and voice interface cards.
The Cisco 3600 is an ideal upgrade to branches that have outgrown their current routing hardware and require the next generation of hardware for their "power branch" applications. The flexibility of the Cisco 3600 Series enables you to support a variety of solutions for the power branch office environment. No matter how much your requirements may vary from place to place, the Cisco 3600 platform has the performance and diversity to meet your needs at a very costeffective price. For instance, a branch office using ISDN to connect to the main office may require dedicated Frame Relay service in a year's time with increased traffic on the network—without a forklift upgrade in the wiring closet. As a multifunction solution, you can rely upon the outstanding performance, reliability, security, and flexibility of the Cisco 3600 platform to meet your needs for many years. Multiple devices become quite expensive to manage, configure, and support when compared to a single, multifunction device with integrated management, configuration, and single vendor support.

I've been listening to Henry Fillmore's "Trombone Family". It brought me to thinking, how long have trombone smears been around in written sheet music? Was Fillmore, a.k.a. "Father of the Trombone Smear", the first to use trombone smears or the first to popularize them? Who was the first to put them into written sheet music if he wasn't?

I'm not sure if anyone has actually pinned down the date or composer. Searches on Google or Trombone History books don't yield very much. According to a quote from one link I found:

"His office was right near mine and when he would arrive in the morning, he would walk right past and never even bother to wave or duck his head in to say hello."He would later say that he felt the need to stake out his territory, that on top of that he was 'a wack job,' but I am sure it was more than that."West compares Jackson's attitude to Pat Riley's reach for more power after winning titles as the Laker coach, but West suggests that Jackson's display was a colder version to experience."Phil and I had no relationship," West writes. "None.

Ok so I've been n the market for a new trailer for a while now. Can't find what I want for a reasonable amount of $$ so time to build. It's shaping up to be 34-38' deck by 96"-102" width with partially recessed/ drive over wheel wells. Still debating weather I want a full deck or just where a cars wheels would fall only opposition is added cost, possibly extruded Al decking?? Should end up sitting on 2 7k torsion axles.
For the frame I'm thinking 6" channel with an additional 6" piece for the A- frame continued all the way to just fwd of axels. Or possible 10-12" channel the whole way with 6" A-frame cut through fwd and welded to inside of side beams.
Before everyone comments on why I can't or shouldn't do this. A little history on me I own a company that builds aluminum marine gangways from 8-80' in length every day. The main use is I want to be able to deliver a 45' gangway on the back of a 1 ton, fwd elevated over the bed. And move my other toys on the weekends. So I highly doubt it will ever see a much over 8k lbs.

About 400 family and friends of the honorees, past honorees, community leaders and elected officials attended Assemblymember Carter's 6th Annual 30 Under 30 Latino/ Native American Recognition Breakfast at Cal State San Bernardino.

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Director and Chief Executive Officer Kyle Young considers himself in the employ of his board, which means he listens carefully when his board chairman, Steve Turner, presents an idea.
"Steve has an idea du jour," Young says. "This guy is always thinking of things that will make this place better and the city better."
On this particular jour, Turner was thinking about a way to present a history of Nashville country music in a way that spotlights the music's transformational impact on the city.
Right, sir, do go on ...
He was thinking about the proper vehicle to deliver that information.
But of course ...
He was thinking about puppets.

Break, Jump & Break Jump
There's a saying - don't break with your shooting cue and don't shoot with your breaking cue. Simply put, break cues were made for breaking. They feature stronger ferrules and harder tips, allowing you to hit with maximum force without worrying about damaging your shaft or mushrooming your tip.
PoolDawg carries jump cues, break cues and break jump cues from several manufacturers including Action, Scorpion, Mezz, Predator, Lucasi and Stealth.
Joss Thor Hammer Break Cue - Ironwood
Our Price $250.75
Save 15%
If Thor played pool, you know he'd be all over this breaker. In fact, I talked to Thor the other day and he absolutely said he'd use this over his trusty hammer Mjolnir. Something about wanting to get a powerhouse break without completely disintegrating the balls... Learn More
Joss Thor Hammer Break Cue - Purpleheart
Our Price $250.75
Save 15%
The guys at Joss have done it again! Rumor has it that Dan Janes himself took Bifrost the rainbow bridge to Asgard, swiped Mjolnir from Thor and used it to make this break cue. I don't know if the story is fact or fiction, but the truth is that this cue hits a ton and is awesomely gorgeous to boot. Learn More

Ready for another plastic junk idea? IT'S ROB ZOMBIE'S TIME!!!!
We will transform an old diskettes box, an older Atari Joystick and other plastic stuff into an ugly creepy zombie-style decorative figure. Its horrified eyes glow with yellow light, and its heart changes of light color, as heartbeats... And it's easy to build!! And if you get enough stuff, you can build your Rob Zombie Army!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Well, as the Great Tallahassee says: "Time to nut up, or shut up!", and lets enjoy this little thing!!!
Step 1: Rob Zombie-land Rules...
1. If you don't have it, replace it!
2. Use protective equipment (dust mask)
3. Beware of drilled and soldered hot surfaces
4. Work in a good ventilated area.
5. Always have junk in stock
6. Enjoy!
2 Oven knobs
4 small iron angles
1 Atari 2600 joystick
1 Diskettes box
2 car lighter plugs
1 plastic piece for the neck (see the instructable picture)
1 small spring
2 roll-on deodorant balls
2 roll-on deodorant caps
1 parfum plastic ball (or anithing roundshape for the heart)
2 big yellow LEDs (for the eyes)
1 big changeable color LED (for the chest)
3 resistors 220 ohm (red red brown gold)
1 switch
1 AA Battery box
2 AA Batteries
1 small plastic case (for the back)
Wire (red and black)
screws and nuts
tin soldering
soldering iron
Dremel Rotary Tool
Here is a video of my "Güali"
Sabes que rob zombie es un artista de musica? Canta y toca la guitarra, toca rock de metal.
I don't have these parts what should I do? could you sell the parts for me as a package?
in my opinion, a "zombie robot" is a robot or machine that was built at some point, then was partially destroyed or de-activated, and subsequently returned "back to life" in a way a zombie human would, maybe with few of its original functions intact.
a "robot zombie" would be a robot built specifically to look and behave like a zombie, like an animatronic figure.
these are very important issues for a very important time we live in!

As the opening kickoff is fielded at the goal line by Syvelle Newton - LET THE SPURRIER ERA BEGIN! On a glorious late summer evening in Columbia, a jam-packed house full of USC Gamecocks fanatics gathered together to witness what, they hoped, would be the first step in a return to the elite ranks of College Football. Photographed from high in the South end zone grandstand, this poster commemorates the 2005 season opener with a beautiful panoramic view of the entire stadium in all its glory. You can see it all - the huge scoreboard, the George Rogers and Sterling Sharpe commemorative banners, the mass of garnet-clad spectators, the sideline entourages, and, of course, the action on the field below. Whether you were at the game that day, are a USC alumni, or simply an armchair fan of SEC football, this poster is for you! A must-have addition to your sports wall-of-fame.

Ligety makes it two from two with commanding win in Beaver Creek
His rivals said that he was in sight after the first run yet by the time that the second run was over, the lead had grown to over one and three quarters of a second. Ted Ligety, HEAD World Cup Rebel and Mr. Giant Slalom was in awesome and commanding form in the World Cup Giant Slalom at Beaver Creek. This was a crushing demonstration of Giant Slalom technique and power.
Ligety at first did not look to happy with his first run yet as each racer failed to even get close to his time he commented "It was a good one for sure. I am surprised by the margin. It was tough today, the snow was not super easy so I am psyched with the win!"
After the first run the lead was 0.78 to second place. Yet further down the field the gaps were closer. Down in seventeen spot after the first run, Aksel Lund Svindal had been a little out of sorts. His second run was something else. Using his power and strength the HEAD World Cup rebel powered his way down to take the lead. Svindal's lead held all the way up to the last five racers.
By the time Ted Ligety blasted out of the start gate, it was Marcel Hirscher leading in the finish ahead of Davide Simoncelli. Ligety gave another master class of Giant Slalom ski racing to extend the lead to over one and three quarter seconds. Can he go faster he was asked? "I don't know, it's really hard to say – I don't really know if I can go any faster, but we will see, I definitely will try to."
The rest of the field will have to raise their game to catch Mr. Giant Slalom.
Aksel Lund Svindal held on to take sixth just ahead of Kjetil Jansrud who was tied for seventh. Having just squeezed into the top thirty for the second run, Gauthier de Tessieres, Matthias Mayer and Marcel Mathis all made good use of their second runs to finish in 20th, 16th and joint 17th; Mayer coming from start number 55 on the first run.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Silvia Granger
"This is a super fast and easy recipe. One of my favorites. Even my kids love it. Though sometimes I use 1 1/2 pounds of noodles. Fettuccine can also be used. Tastes even better with fresh baked rolls or French bread and a garden salad. For the special occasion have a nice glass of red wine with it."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (16 ounce) package
linguine pasta
1/2 cup
3 cloves
chopped garlic
1 pound
fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
chopped clams with juice
1/2 cup
chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground white pepper
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
I made this with a few changes and it turned out fantastic! My wife just would not stop raving about it.
I cut the recipe in half, because there are only two of us. I doubled the garlic and doubled the clams. But the second can of clams were drained. I added some red pepper flakes and also added about a half cup of good white wine.
It turns out to be a very special dish. You could definately put it into your rotation or keep it for special occasions.
I made it exactly like the recipe says. I will not make it again. It was edible but too much like a canned sauce. All the other reviewers changed the recipe. I would suggest you do the same. I would add more mushrooms. I would cook the sauce down - it was too runny.
319 Ratings
Very, very good and simple. Like many others, I made this with some variations. I used 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup xtra Virgin olive oil. I also used 5 cloves of garlic. I added 1 tbl of Old Bay (you may omit any additional salt if you use O.B.). After everything was brought up to temperature, I added 3 dollops of sour cream and thickened with a little corn starch. No leftovers!
We all loved this. I did make a few changes though. Instead of 1/2 a cup of butter, I used 1/4 cup of butter, and a 1/4 cup of olive oil. I also doubled the garlic because we love it. I undercooked the pasta by a minute or two, and added some pasta water to the sauce, to thicken it up a bit. Then I added the pasta to the sauce and cooked it for a few minutes to absorb the sauce better. I would definitely make this again.
This is just a basic starter recipe of which you can adjust to your liking. Being Italian, and my wife and I liking this dish, I can make some recommendations. First of all you should add a can, or jar of baby WHOLE clams in with the chopped clams. Much more meaty. Secondly, after the garlic has lightly browned deglaze the pan with 1/3 cup dry white wine or dry sherry (NOT the cooking wine stuff). And lastly, Chopped basil has much more flavor than parsley. And another thing. What is this with all complaints of the sauce being "to runny"? It's supposed to be runny!! Any Italian, or most anybody who likes this dish knows that you eat it with bread. And you use the bread to sop up the "runny" sauce. And don't complain about "that's to much bread" because it only takes about two small slices of Italian bread to do the job. If you're gonna do it, do it right.
Very good and sooo easy! I loved the flavor, but the sauce seemed a bit too watery with all of the clam juice added, so I stirred in the parm. cheese while it was cooking to thicken it up a bit. I will definately be making this one again, thanks!
This was a fantastic dinner for my husband and I. Since kids don't like mushrooms, it has become our favorite for when it's just us. Get pre-sliced mushrooms and this is FAST.
This was a big hit with my dinner guests. I served Ali's Amazing Bruschetta (also Allrecipes) as an excellent appetizer. Per others' reviews I made these changes: 1 extra can of clams w/juice, extra garlic, decreased butter to 1/4 c. supplemented with olive oil, substituted freshly ground black pepper. My own changes: I thickened sauce with flour/pan juice roux, substitued pre-made pesto to taste for fresh parsley, and added 1/2 c. dry white wine shortly before serving.

Miller sent out one of their guys to look over our shop's process. Our shop does anodized aluminum, which is somewhat rare and typically only done in th emarine industry. Therefore, it's somewhat of a mystery and people in that field weld it as it has been found to work well in the past. There's been little to no scientific testing done on it.
Anyway, it was to be a visit that hopefully will benefit Miller in their future plans, as well as ours. They sent out John Locke, from the Tig Solutions department. As with most of Miller's guys, John is very knowledgable. He is well spoken and was able to communicate with office personnel and shop employees equally as well. He answered a lot of questions we had, and helped reinforce some answers we already had gotten.
Thanks for your visit, John!! You're always welcome to come back. All you have to do is ask and let us know when you'd like to come by!

That's Great!
It is good to hear John came by the plant. I assume you are speaking of the plant in Maryville, TN. I do not know John personally. However, I have had excellent customer service from all the TIG guys and many Miller product managers as well. If Miller comes back out, please drop me a line. I always enjoy meeting or getting reacquainted with them. If you have the opportunity to meet with Mark ( Johnson-I think ) you will really like him. You two have a lot in common.
BTW: Are you still "bump" welding the fitted tube joints using the momentary on with the big Syncrowaves? I'll send you a PM with my business cell phone. It is good to see you around the forum.

Sue Bowers of Mount Vernon has not let anything slow her down, not even her own death.
Bowers, 66, inherited her father's bicuspid aortic valve disease, which led her to having open heart surgery in 2010 at the age of 64. During that surgery, her heart actually stopped for several seconds.
"I actually died and had to be resuscitated," she said.
Bicuspid aortic valve disease is often the result of a congenital defect of the heart where two of the aortic valves fuse during development resulting in a valve that is bicuspid instead of the normal triple — or tricuspid — configuration, according to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Although it is possible for some people to live a normal life span without experiencing problems due to this condition, many affected will require treatment during their lifetime.
Throughout time a bicuspid valve might lose its ability to open widely, close properly or both.
The condition is estimated to exist in aoubt 2 percent of the population, predominantly in men. "I inherited it from my father," Bowers said. "I have a twin sister who was lucky and did not."
February is American Heart Month, and unfortunately, most people know someone who has suffered from cardiovascular disease; currently the leading cause of death in the United States.
One in every three U.S. deaths is from heart disease and stroke — equal to 2,200 deaths per day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cardiovascular disease is also very expensive — together heart disease and stroke hospitalizations in 2010 cost the nation more than $444 billion in health care expenses and lost productivity. Heart disease and stroke also are the leading causes of disability preventing people from working and enjoying everyday activities.
But Bowers wasn't having any part of that.
Active and athletic before her surgery, she was determined to stay that way.
Following her surgery, she experienced a third-degree heart block and had to rely on a pacemaker, which she still has today. She also developed high blood pressure and lost almost all of her strength from the trauma her body went through.
Bowers remembers being so weak she was unable to even open her refrigerator door.
"I couldn't push or pull anything that required more than five pounds of effort," she said. "I got so tired just driving my husband to the Metro in the morning that I would have to take a nap in my car before even leaving the station."
Her sternum had been cut completely in half during her surgery, resulting in her shoulders beginning to hunch forward afterward, a condition that if not addressed, she said, would eventually cause her further debilitation.
"It was a rough time, but I was not about to let these things dictate what I could and could not do for the rest of my life," she said. "I didn't want to have to stop living."
Bowers began undergoing a series of rehabilitative exercises at Sport & Health Club in Alexandria and today works out six days a week as well as regularly riding her bicycle and taking Tango dance lessons.
Two years after her surgery, she has been taken off her blood pressure medication and is now taking spinning, Pilates and cardio classes.
"I actually started doing strength training exercises for awhile before my surgery to build my muscles up as much as I could because I knew that as difficult as that was, it would be easier then than afterwards," she said. "Looking back, that was the best thing I did for myself."
In addition to her exercises, Bowers continues to work as a commercial interior designer.
"As part of my job, I have to carry around a bag full of tile, carpet and paint samples that weighs 50 pounds," she said. "And I have to often carry it up several flights of stairs because I am going to construction sites where elevators have not yet been installed."
Bowers' Pilates instructor, Tara Egresits, said she is amazed at how much Bowers has accomplished since her open heart surgery.
"She is pretty remarkable," Egresits said. "When we are in session, you honestly cannot tell Sue apart from anyone else in the class. In both her energy and her physicality, she looks and works like a 28-year-old."
In addition to her renewed energy and active lifestyle, Bowers now also has a tale she is fond of telling about her surgery.
"They told me I could have a mechanical valve or a cow valve to replace my defective one," she said. "I did not want a mechanical one because I would have to take Coumadin the rest of my life, so I chose the cow valve. But I asked for one from a specific type of cow: a Scottish Hairy Coo, which is a beautiful big red cow I had seen on a recent trip to Scotland. I am a redhead myself, so that's what I wanted."
Bowers said against all odds, physicians actually located just such a valve for her, in Italy.
"So now," she said, "I tell all my colleagues in the interior design industry that I have an Italian designer Scottish Coo heart valve."

Seconds (1966)
Suspense/Thriller, SciFi/Fantasy
Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) is a listless Manhattan businessman who lives with his wife in the New York suburbs. One day, he runs into an old friend (Murray Hamilton) whom he thought had died. The friend leads him to The Company, a secretive operation run by The Old Man (Will Geer). The Company is a high-tech service which, for a price, provides older men with plastic surgery, a beefed-up body, and a fresh start in life. To cover the disappearance, a middle-aged male cadaver is killed in a hotel fire. Hamilton submits to the operation that will turn him into a Second, and when the bandages are removed, he's shed twenty years, renamed Tony Wilson and is portrayed by Rock Hudson. The Company creates a new identity for Hamilton, relocating him in a hedonistic California beach community with an identity as a painter. Celebrating during a local wine festival, Hamilton has his revelry cut short when he learns that all his new young friends are Seconds like himself and suddenly feels trapped in these surroundings. Unfortunately, finding a way out isn't nearly as easy as it was to find a way in.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Windows 8 not recognizing gpu chip
Hey guys
Installed windows 8 on a desktop computer. The computer was previously running windows 7. It has a nvidia ion graphics card in it.
Upon installing windows 8, it now displays large black lines around the edge of the monitor. It also does not recognize the gpu. I have tried updating the drivers, but because it cannot actually find the graphics card, it can not install
Any ideas?

if you can see your desktop at all, then the OS has detected your gpu, otherwise you wouldnt see anything. it's typically a drivers issue with gpus on a new OS. I'd double check on the manufacturer site and make sure you have the latest version of drivers/software, ( if you used windows update it's never been very good at that sort of thing)

Make sure you've downloaded the latest management software for your graphics card. Usually the type of behavior you're seeing ends up being a scaling issue (the card may be set to a default of 80% of your screen size, for example).
Unless otherwise stated, any code posted is most likely untested and may contain syntax errors.

the actual OS isnt recognising the GPU though... if i go into device manager, it just comes up with "microsoft default monitor" or something like that, whereby it should have the actual GPU chipset name there..

MVC is the current buzz in web application architectures. It comes from event-driven desktop application design and doesn't fit into web application design very well. But luckily nobody really knows what MVC means, so we can call our presentation layer separation mechanism MVC and move on. (Rasmus Lerdorf)

Three of Kawasaki's four main UK teams got together for a shake-out test day at Fatcats Moto Parc, and MOTO was on hand to capture the action.
With Marc De Reuver and the rest of the Lanes team absent as their bikes and kit aren't sorted yet, it was the turn of LPE, Oakleaf and Twisted 7 to show Team Green mean business.
Top British MX1 contender Martin Barr headed up the LPE team, alongside MX2 ace Ray Rowson plus Connor Walkley, David Goosen and AMCA 450 champ Lee Dunham.
Alex Snow was the kingpin of the new Oakleaf Kawasaki MX1 team, and was joined by Tommy Alba and Jake Millward while Twisted 7 fielded Gary Ashley, Harry Kimber, Todd Kellett and Shaun Springer.

Vettel P2, Webber P4
After a poor qualifying on Saturday both drivers produced a positive reaction with the defending double world champion Vettel forcing his way through to finish on the podium in second place. He had some luck when he survived one early run off across the grass and then saw fellow-German Michael Schumacher forced to retire his Mercedes before a timely Safety Car assisted him in passing Lewis Hamilton's McLaren. Webber suffered a first-corner sandwich, fell down the order and then fought back to claim his best career finish at Albert Park in fourth place.
"It was a positive race for us, one we knew would be a difficult one - so to come second with a lot of points is important. I think we proved we are in a better condition than everyone expected. The car has a lot of potential. I would have loved to be in a better position yesterday, but now we need to address our problems and make sure we give them a harder time next week." - Vettel
Rosberg P12, Schumacher DNF
After a strong showing early in the weekend led by Schumacher claiming his best grid position since coming out of retirement, the race was a disappointment. Schumacher ran strongly behind the front-running McLarens in the opening laps, but retired after only four laps when his car suffered total loss of drive. Rosberg struggled to stamp any authority on the race and fell away due to tyre degradation before finishing 12th.
"After a very encouraging weekend, today was not a good result for us. Despite excellent starts, both Michael and Nico had difficulties from the start of the race with their tyres. With the development of the circuit and the track temperatures, we fell out of the working window, and struggled with degradation. We remain positive as both here and over the winter tests, we have demonstrated that we have a fundamentally quick car and we have a lot to build on so we need to look at what happened and unravel the problem and work out where we need to improve." - Ross Brawn
Maldonado P13, Senna P16
The rebuilt Woking team were desperately unlucky not to have something to celebrate in this opening race after a winter of upheaval and changes. Maldonado drove with great control and looked set to score his best finish in sixth place when he crashed heavily on the last lap, losing the back end of the car. Senna was involved in a tangle at the opening corner and then collided with Massa's Ferrari before retiring.
"It was a very fast moment, but I just lost the back of the car and hit the wall - that's it. I had already accepted finishing behind Alonso because I tried to pass into Turn 3 and it didn't work. I think Alonso was slowing down, his pace was not so strong, so maybe I got too close to him and that's why I lost the back. It wasn't a concentration thing - I was pushing as normal, looking after the tyres and maybe I just got too close. I said nothing on the radio, I was so angry. We are a bit disappointed, but that's racing." - Maldonado
Glock P14, Pic P15
After a messy start to the season, a failed crash test and no testing, this was a small triumph for the low-budget former Virgin team. Both men ran the full race without any major problems and brought their cars home, albeit after being lapped. It was a satisfying way to celebrate Glock's 30th birthday.
"A great race for the team and a huge reward for all the hard work and pressure over the last few months. It's important to remember that we came here with no real running with the new car. Add the potential for reliability problems - because they always happen with every team in pre-season testing - and it has been quite a special weekend to get the car home in the first race with no issues." - Glock
Jenson Button P1, Lewis Hamilton P3
Button took his third win in Australia in the last four years, making Albert Park the circuit where he's had more of his 13 career wins than any other. The 2009 world champion stormed past teammate Hamilton on the run to Turn 1 at the start and was rarely troubled thereafter, and showed he had speed to burn when he pulled out a 2.5-second lead on the first lap after the safety car went in on lap 42. Hamilton was downcast after dropping behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel in the safety car period, and barely held off Vettel's teammate Mark Webber to claim the final podium slot.Reaction:
'All in all I'm happy with the car. There were a few areas where it could have been a little bit better, but I think we did a pretty damn good job this weekend." - Button
Kimi Raikkonen P7, Roman Grosjean DNF (accident, lap 2)
After Saturday was Grosjean's time to shine in his first Albert Park outing, it was Raikkonen who scored Lotus' first points of the season after showing consistent pace from 17th on the grid. The Finn benefitted from the last lap, where Pastor Maldonado (Williams) and Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) both saw their points-scoring hopes go up in smoke. Grosjean made a cautious start from third on the grid, dropped to sixth after the first lap, and then was out on lap two after clashing with Maldonado at Turn 13.
"The weekend was far from ideal, but the car feels good. To come back to seventh means we at least come away with some points." – Raikkonen
Toro Rosso
Daniel Ricciardo P9, Jean-Eric Vergne P11
With a lap to go, it looked as if the Frenchman was more likely to score Toro Rosso's first points of the season, but Ricciardo made the most of a wide moment by his teammate with three corners to go to sneak through to score in his first race at home. Vergne's race was relatively uneventful compared to that of his teammate: Ricciardo was last after lap one when he clashed with Bruno Senna's Williams at the first corner before battling his way back to the points with some help from the mid-race safety car.
"I don't really know how that happened on the last lap – I was sure I could make up at least one place because it was chaos. I was a bit lucky to be the last one in that group because I could have a clear picture of the other cars going off in front. The last few laps were crazy, and I was pushing like hell." – Ricciardo
De La Rosa, Karthikeyan did not start
For the second year in succession, the Spanish strugglers came to Melbourne with every intention of starting the season – and left without turning a wheel on Sunday after failing to make the 107 per cent cut-off in qualifying. A lack of pre-season testing, power steering issues and a failing DRS gave the third-year squad plenty to work on ahead of next weekend's second race of the season in Malaysia.
"I think it's going to be damn hard in Malaysia. It's going to be a lot hotter and we have cooling problems already. We don't want to bullshit ourselves; it's going to be very difficult." – Narain Karthikeyan
Alonso P5, Massa dnf
Alonso shrugged off his qualifying debacle to be 8th by the end of the opening lap. In the early stages he duked it out with Rosberg and Webber before pitting after 13 laps and again on 34. Though never a serious podium contender he took heart from a top-five finish to a trying weekend. Massa, meanwhile, made his trademark excellent start, then worked hard to edge his car up to the top 10, but tyre degradation and poor balance did nothing to help his cause. He did himself few favours when he lost what would only have been a 13th place in a clash with Senna's Williams just 11 laps from the finish that inflicted terminal damage to the #6 car.
"As for the positive points to come out of today, they would be the start, the pit stops and the strategy. However, we still have a lot of work to do…" – Alonso; "This has been a really poor weekend for me." -- Massa
Force India
Di Resta P10, Hulkenberg dnf
It took him till the last corner of the last lap but Di Resta rescued a point with his strong sprint to the line, but throughout the race he had struggled to maintain consistent pace through each stint. Saving a dose of KERS for that last corner was the key to catching Vergne's Toro Rosso. No such luck for the Hulk: the early mayhem sidelined him without completing a lap – the same fate he suffered on his first visit here back in 2010. He was hit from behind and left rear suspension damage was the result.
"We have to take this on the chin because it's part of racing, but it's disappointing for Nico who needs all the race miles he can get at the moment." – Deputy team principal Robert Fernley
Kobayashi P6, Perez P8
It looked unlikely after qualifying, but Sauber repeated their outstanding performance of last year with both cars in the top 10 – only this time it counted. Perez had to start from the back after incurring a grid penalty for a gearbox change, but as he did in 2011, he made do with just one pit stop. His was the lead Sauber until the frantic final laps when contact with Rosberg compromised him. Kobayashi's race on a two-stopper nearly ended on the opening lap when Senna spun in front of him, meaning the Japanese did the whole race with damage to the rear wing.
"It was a bitter-sweet weekend. Qualifying was disappointing, but in the race we were able to show our true potential. I wonder if we could have done even better today, because we had to compromise a lot on the strategy due to the fact that both drivers were stuck in traffic and couldn't make best use of the tyres." – Head of Track Engineering Gianpaolo Dall'Ara.
Kovalainen dnf, Petrov dnf
Petrov's was the most visible retirement of the day when he parked the Caterham beside the pit wall on the main straight. A steering-wheel problem was the cause of his demise after 36 laps. The Russian was buoyed by pace that saw him getting in touch with Senna and Massa. His Finnish team-mate ran five laps more before a front track rod problem made the car start pulling left under braking and they pulled him in as a precaution. Earlier he was DRS-less for six laps and also had to switch his KERS off right from the start.
"I'm sure we can fix (the) problems for next week and we have shown today what a step forward we've taken, so it's not bad news, it's just one of those days." – Kovalainen; "We definitely showed the sort of pace that can bring rewards this season, so while it's obviously not how we wanted my first race with the team to go we can take a lot of positives from this." -- Petrov

Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Rhubarb is a cool season, perennial plant that is very winter hardy and resistant to drought. Rhubarb is deer resistant and with its lovely dark green leaves and green, pink or red stalks it has a lot of front yard appeal. Following a season of growth the rhubarb crown becomes dormant. Temperatures below 40° F are required to stimulate bud break and subsequent growth.
The first shoots to appear in the spring are edible petioles and leaves. These emerge sequentially as long as temperatures remain cool (below 90° F). The petioles are the tasty part of the plant and are perfect for making crisps, pies, and sauces. Don't eat the leaves since they have high levels of the poison, oxalic acid. As temperatures increase, top growth is suppressed, even appearing dormant in periods of extreme heat.
Let your rhubarb grow unharvested the first year in the ground. The next season you can harvest the plant lightly and only the first two weeks of the season. The third year the plant can tolerate a full 8-10 week harvest. The youngest stalks are the tastiest, harvest as soon as the leaf unfolds. Harvest only one third of the stalks at a time. Stop the harvest when the plant starts to grow slender stalks, that's the plant signaling it is low on reserves.

REVIEW: "R.I.P.D.": Reynolds Is Positively Doomed
I'm starting to worry about Ryan Reynolds.
It's natural for actors to go into a slump every few years and agree to work on projects that have no box office potential whatsoever. After all, no one can turn in consistently solid performances, yet Reynolds seems to have been in that slump for the majority of his career.
Now, I'm not concerned about how his paychecks are affected by this never-ending stream of box office bombs or his virtually non-existent chances at an Academy Award nomination. I'm concerned about his mental state, which allowed him to believe that signing on for the dead-on-arrival "R.I.P.D." was an even remotely good idea.
Reynolds stars as Nick Walker, who has everything a police officer could ask for: a loving wife (Stephanie Szoztak), a great partner (Kevin Bacon), and a steady job with the Boston Police Department. But after some shady dealings, his partner betrays him, sending him to the big police station in the sky. Here, his soul is offered a choice—take his chances with heavenly judgment or spend 100 years working for the Rest In Peace Department, a celestial group of deceased law enforcement officials who prevent the dead from escaping judgment. In the R.I.P.D., Nick is partnered with Wild West sheriff Roy (Jeff Bridges), and together they bring the "Dead-Os" to eternal justice.
The concept actually sounds relatively decent, but whatever promise it might have had is quickly squandered by silly antics and even sillier characters. The "Dead-Os," who have run away from eternal damnation, live on Earth disguised as humans and can only reveal their true, ugly forms if they inhale cumin (writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi obviously have something against Indian food).
The Dead-Os plot revenge on the heavenly authorities they're hiding from (and, presumably chicken curry dishes) by opening a portal that will bring the dead back to Earth. Nick uncovers this conspiracy and tries to save his still-living wife from a terrible fate. Unfortunately, it's hard to be as invested in all of this as Nick is, because it's nearly impossible to care about any of the human characters and the closest thing to a hero here is, well, already dead.
While investigating on Earth, Nick and Roy are also disguised to keep the world from knowing about the existence of the R.I.P.D. Nick is an old Chinese man (James Hong) and Roy is a sexy female model (Marissa Miller) for some reason. To humans, they look like a pair of misfits, but in heaven, they look like a pair of misfits.
Hilarious, isn't it?
Roy is a terrible mentor and shows minimal interest in anything other than himself, while Nick is constantly annoyed – and rightfully so – but his dislike of his partner gets in the way of preventing the apocalypse.
At best, the supernatural odd couple makes "R.I.P.D." a lazy "Men In Black" wannabe. At worst, it may actually be the single most insufferable movie of the summer. And that's saying something, since this summer has also seen "After Earth," "The Lone Ranger," and "White House Down."
Reynolds may have had some flops in the past, but with its knock-off plot and off-putting characters, "R.I.P.D." just might be a new low. While he is a decent actor and could shine in a halfway decent script, unless he begins picking better projects, his "slump" is in danger of becoming his "career."
