Ligety the star as HEAD racers podium ten times in Schladming World Championships.
The 2013 HEAD World Cup Rebels delivered some exceptional performances at the World Championshipts in Schladming: 5 Gold medals, 1 Silver and 4 Bronze medals, including a clean sweep in the Men's Super G.
Coming into the World Championships, HEAD CEO Johan Eliasch explained that he hoped the 'exceptional' performances from Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2011 could be matched but in coming up one short of the 2011 mark, the 2013 Championship haul created more records: Ted Ligety became the first racer since the 1968 World Championships (they also doubled as the Olympic Games) in Grenoble, to win three Gold medals and was the only racer to retain his World Championship from the Garmisch World Championships, the Giant Slalom. With Ligety starting off with the Super G Gold and then adding the Super Combined Gold to his haul before retaining his Giant Slalom title, Ligety admitted to having had a "surreal moment," as he went on his winning run.
Ligety took the opening Gold for HEAD in the Men's Super G. In the only clean sweep of the Championships, Ligety took the top step on the podium, Gauthier de Tessieres took silver and Aksel Lund Svindal took the bronze. Svindal said afterwards that this was his worst result of the season so far in Super G, not a bad place to finish if that was the worst result!
Not to be outdone by the Men, Maria Hoefl-Riesch produced an outstanding slalom run in the Super Combined to move up from fourth equal after the downhill to take the top step. Just two tenths off the lead, Hoefl-Riesch used all her experience and guile to post the fastest combined time and then had to wait. None of the remaining four racers, including HEAD racers and defending champion, Anna Fenninger or Lizz Goergl could better the time and Hoefl-Riesch was the Gold medal winner.
The middle Saturday, Super Saturday, was always going to be about one man, one HEAD World Cup Rebel, Aksel Lund Svindal. Svindal had won the Word Cup Final downhill down the same course at the end of last season and was in ominous form in the training runs. Cometh the day, cometh the man and Svindal took the third Gold of the Championships for HEAD. Rainer Salzgeber, the Racing Manager for the HEAD World Cup Rebels, felt that this was one of the defining moments of the Championship as Aksel was expected to podium yet had to endure the pressure of racers coming down after him. The lead was significant, the victory sweet.
Following her crash in the Super G, there was no Lindsey Vonn but yet again it was Maria Hoefl-Riesch who was the racer grabbing the medal for HEAD in the women's Downhill. The weather played its part in hindering some of the racers as the light constantly changed. By the time Hoefl-Riesch entered the course, the light was changing and she pushed herself to the limit. Fast splits translated into a promising position, which in turn translated into a bronze medal. The medal rush was on!
Then it was on to the Men's Super Combined. With Svindal the defending champion, it was Ligety though who was the star of the show again. Svindal posted the second best time in the downhill and yet a certain Giant Slalom skier was lurking back in sixth with what he described as his best ever downhill run. Under the lights in the slalom section, Ligety was in sublime form and stormed into the lead. Could the incredible happen? Could the 2006 Olympic Super Combined Champion become the 2013 World Champion? The answer to that is an emphatic yes! This was surreal moment number two for Ligety.
Into the technical races and this time it was Anna Fenninger who stepped up to the plate to grab another medal. After her disappointments in the speed events and Super Combined, Fenninger realized this was her last chance to go for a medal and attack she did. Her reward for some calculated ski racing was to take home the bronze.
If ever there was pressure on a racer to deliver, the Men's Giant Slalom was that day. Despite having two Gold medals in the bag already, this was the medal that Ligety was in town for. He was the defending Champion and had won four of the five races on the World Cup this season. Cool under pressure, Ligety gave the rest of the field a lesson as he carved out a lead of 1.30 seconds after the first run. Ligety does not do safe skiing, he is a HEAD World Cup Rebel and he likes to attack. The statistics show he won his third Gold medal in the Giant Slalom. An incredible effort in an era that has discipline specialists more than allrounders: "I never wanted to be a specialist," Ligety admitted.
The speed races were simply owned by HEAD! And this was after the disappointment coming into the Championships that saw Johan Clarey head home with a back injury. Then Lindsey Vonn and Kjetil Jansrud left the Championships injured. This had Salzgeber concerned. Asked what was the defining memory for him of the Championships and Salzgeber was hard pushed to put one moment forward as "every medal has a story behind it. These were probably the best days in a Championship ever for us," he reflected.
"The memory of the complete podium in the Super G was impressive, the Downhill and the Giant Slalom, were all great moments," continued Salzgeber.
"When you consider all the work that went into the skis after the rule changes, the hard work put in by the whole team, the podiums, this was the best way to show just how good our skis and set up is," Salzgeber declared.
The table of success makes happy reading from Schladming 2013:
Gold (5)
Ted Ligety: Super G, Super Combined & Giant Slalom
Maria Hoefl-Riesch: Super Combined
Aksel Lund Svindal: Downhill
Silver (1)

A masterful performance from Jenson Button brought the British driver his third Melbourne victory as McLaren Mercedes threw down the gauntlet to Red Bull Renault in a superb Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.
Button beat pole-sitter and team-mate Lewis Hamilton for the first-lap lead, kept cool when the Safety Car intervened just past the halfway stage of the 58-lap race and strung together a stunning sequence of fastest laps to hold off a fast-finishing Sebastian Vettel and claim his 13th career victory.
With Hamilton third, fending off a late charge from Australia's Mark Webber in the second Red Bull, and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso next man home, the year has begun with the 'Big Five' of the last two seasons still in the top five positions.
Meanwhile Daniel Ricciardo recovered superbly from a first-lap coming-together with Bruno Senna's Williams to rejoin after an unscheduled pit stop and raced superbly in the closing laps to claim two points for ninth place on debut.
By a happy coincidence it is the same haul his Aussie compatriot Webber achieved on his own first F1 appearance here 10 years ago – for the Minardi team which has since morphed into Scuderia Toro Rosso, the team Ricciardo drives for in 2012.
Button, who won here in 2009 and 2010, explained why he had become the first man since Michael Schumacher to amass three Albert Park victories.
"I've actually stayed in the same bedroom those three years!" he grinned.
On a more serious note, the 32-year-old was quick to emphasise the teamwork behind his brilliant individual display.
For us as a team it really shows how important the (European) winter is," he said, "and yesterday's qualifying really showed that. Starting the year strong for this team is very important."
The Safety Car was called on when VItaly Petrov's Caterham stopped in an awkward spot on the main straight. While Vettel took advantage to leap-frog Hamilton in the pits, Button put the hammer down with fastest lap after fastest lap to re-establish his superiority.
The new order suggested by Romain Grosjean's fine third place for Lotus on the grid evaporated when the Frenchman was involved in a first-lap collision with Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado's Williams, immediately ending his hopes of a strong finish on his F1 return.
In a role reversal from Saturday, it was team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, the returning 2007 world champion, who fought his way through from 18th on the grid to finish an unexpected seventh. Lotus might have been forgiven an additional smile when Maldonado's last-lap mistake cost him sixth place – which would have yielded more points than his team managed in the whole of 2011.
The weekend promise shown by Mercedes also dimmed when Michael Schumacher ran wide at Turn 1 on the 11th lap, the bumpy excursion possibly triggering the gearbox issue that forced him out of the race. Team-mate Nico Rosberg could not sustain his early pace, losing places in the dramatic closing laps to finish out of the points in 12th.
As they did last year, both Saubers finished in the points, with Kamui Kobayashi sixth and Sergio Perez two places further back. The final point went to the Force India of Paul di Resta.
Button is the early leader in the drivers' title chase with 25 points from Vettel's 18, Hamilton on 15 and Webber, thanks to his best Albert Park finish, on 12.
McLaren take a 10-point lead in the constructors' championship with them to Malaysia, 40-30 over Red Bull, with Sauber buoyed by a 12-point haul that puts them third ahead of Ferrari, for whom Felipe Massa failed to finish, and Lotus.

"Very Happy with Purchase!"
By Happy Returning Customer
Comments: Bought these for company employees. Very professional looking, high quality material, quick engraving service. Employees loved them. Would order again from this company in a heartbeat.
"Good job, MG"
By Shirley Rogers
Comments: This is my first time and I discovered you quite by accident. The business card holder arrived in a timely fashion and the engraving was just as I ordered. The Business Card Holder is heavier than I had anticipated which is a good thing. There were no problems which is the way I like to shop. Thank you, too, for the MG rewards points.
"card holders"
By Louisa F.
Comments: A very nice way to display business cards on your desk. It looks very elegant and it is small so it doesn't take up a lot of room. It also has a very nice weight to it, so it won't fall over when someone is grabbing a card.
"Business Card Holder"

Comments: This is a great item and it was delivered very quickly. Highly recommended.

Lotus team principal Eric Boullier believes Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will give the squad a big boost on and off the track...
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier believes Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will give the squad a big boost on and off the track.
After seven visits to the podium during the first 17 races of the season, Kimi Raikkonen finally reached the top step at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday as he came from fourth on the grid to win.
With reports suggesting that owners Genii Capital, run by Gerard Lopez, can no longer afford to keep the team afloat and are looking to sell their stake, the win came just at the right time for the Enstone squad.
Boullier says Raikkonen's success show they can compete at the top, but admits the victory should give them a financial boost as well.
"There are many things needed to be a top team," said Boullier.
"We have now shown the world we are serious, that we can deliver and so it should help with any commercial discussions.
"But to build a team, a winning team, we also need more experience and time because this team is new in a way, new with two new drivers.
"We have learned this year to work all together, with our drivers, and we've had our ups and downs.
"But we can see now Kimi is here for qualifying and the race, and as for Romain [Grosjean], we will see yet.
"We have been on an upward curve this year, but now there is extra belief and motivation in what we are doing and capable of doing."

Audio Masterclass students start by sending in a simple recording of speech. That shouldn't be too difficult, should it?
Audio Masterclass students make recordings to compare their microphones. Here are a few of acoustic guitar...
A practical demonstration of the Waves emulation of the Universal Audio 1176 compressor on a studio recording of snare drum
Joe Clancy plays drums in Abbey Road Studio 3. Audio Masterclass is there to make the multitrack recording.
Although the mouse and keyboard interface works and is cheap, many of us yearn for something more like the traditional analog console interface. But is it time for a complete rethink?
You've been asked to make a recording of some local musicians, and they expect to pay you. Wow - you're a pro! But how much should you charge?
An Audio Masterclass student has a problem with acoustic noise. Is it an acceptable solution to filter it out?
You can't make recordings of professional quality with substandard equipment. So what is the basic level that you need, to achieve professional standards?
Do your monitors have digital FIR filters; digital fine-tuning for volume, trim, bass and treble settings; soft fade-in and Crimson Aramid fibre drivers? Your listeners' loudspeakers don't.
When the mix engineer has squeezed every last drop of perfection out of the original multitrack recording and turned it into a stereo mix, the mastering engineer will attempt to perfect it even more…
Mixing can be the process of getting the best out of your original multitrack recording, or it can be an amazingly creative process in its own right. But first you'll have to fix the faults…
Of the five stages of production - A&R, arrangement, recording, mixing and mastering, clearly recording is central. And there is a lot more to it than choosing and placing microphones.
The BBC's recent broadcast of Jamaica Inn has drawn comments and complaints. "The actors are mumbling", "The sound track is faulty", "Like listening through mud". So what has really gone wrong, and who is to blame?
You can use the stereo output from a drum virtual instrument just as it is, or you can record each drum, the hihat and overheads to individual tracks. Which is the better way of working?
This is an age-old debate in the world of music making. Is it OK to use old guitar strings, or should you change them often?
For recording, sometimes it is better for your guitar strings to be used rather than new. When would used guitar strings be more appropriate?
If new guitar strings are too zingy for the sound you want, and used strings too variable, then perhaps there is a case for conditioning new strings, so they have exactly the sound you require.
The graphic equalizer is a very popular tool for live sound. You can also use it in the studio. But why would you use a graphic, and how should you set it?
An Audio Masterclass student lives close to a busy road. Is it acceptable to have background noise in his recordings?
Good musical arrangements don't happen by accident. Either the band can arrange themselves, or someone else can take charge of the orchestration. Either way, it is the producer's job to make sure that everything sounds great before the microphones are positioned and plugged in.
If you spend a lot of time reading and viewing videos about professional audio on the Internet, then you could easily get the idea that production is all about having the right equipment and software, particularly plug-ins. It is very true that getting the right sound is an important part of production, but there's a lot more to it than that. In this series, I will take a look at the five major components of production. A&R, arrangement, recording, mixing and mastering.

Double tracking is a powerful technique to create a rich texture in vocals and instruments. You can do it the hard way - or do it the easier way...
To achieve a richer sound from vocals, guitars, and even drums, the 'old school' technique of double tracking is extremely effective. And it costs nothing but a little extra dedication to your craft.
How do you know for sure whether your master is an improvement on the original mix? Here's a simple way to tell...
An Audio Masterclass student asks whether it is OK to use a noise-reduction plug-in instead of proper sound insulation.
Sometimes a perfectly adequate microphone connected to a perfectly adequate audio interface will sound pretty bad. But there's an easy explanation...
When you make recordings, you will be *monitoring*, not merely listening. Monitoring is vital to the recording process all the way from basic tracks through mixing, mastering and quality control of the finished product.
When you have achieved good soundproofing in your room, you will need acoustic treatment to make it sound good both for recording and monitoring.
You don't want background noise on your recordings, and you don't want to annoy your neighbors. But you don't want to spend more money than you have to, and you definitely don't want to waste money on soundproofing that doesn't work.
In nearly all cases, Audio Masterclass students want to be able to work to a professional standard. They may want to become employed in the industry, write and produce their own music, or do unpaid work as well as a professional would do it. This introduction will help you to understand the ways in which you can work with audio professionally, or to a professional standard.
The process of mastering has changed a lot over the years. In the days of vinyl records, the object of mastering was to transfer a finished mix on tape to a lacquer master disc, which could then be processed to form the metal stampers that would create the records the public would buy.
The function of mixing has changed since the beginning of the modern era of recording techniques in the late 1960s. In earlier times, the band and vocal would be recorded all together simultaneously, directly into mono or stereo. Mixing therefore took place actually during the recording session. But as multitrack recorders developed, eventually it was possible to place each instrument and vocal on its own track, and leave the mixing until later.
It's a rare recording that sounds great without reverb, natural or artificial. Reverb and effects are an important part of modern recording techniques.
The original purpose of the compressor was to reduce the difference between low-level signals and high-level signals so that equipment from an earlier era of recording, broadcasting and public address could handle them more easily.
Equalization, or EQ, is one of the most basic yet most important tools in recording, live sound, and all other activities of sound engineering. Equalization is used to repair problems, to make individual instruments and voices sound better, and to help instruments and voices blend together in the mix. It is also used to improve the mix, and to make tracks on an album flow seamlessly from one to another without sudden changes of frequency balance.
Any professional microphone must be connected to a specialized microphone preamplifier to function correctly. The preamplifier will boost the signal voltage from the microphone anything up to 1000 times so that it can be handled correctly by the following circuitry.
Understanding the various types of microphones is key to successful recording. There are four basic types of microphone that are in regular use in professional recording, and other types that are significant, but used less often. The most important types are these...
Microphone technique is the art and skill of selecting an appropriate microphone for the job in hand, in terms of type, model and sometimes even the individual microphone, as microphones that were identical when new can come to sound different as they age.
The two channels of a stereo signal need to be in phase with each other. But are there times when it doesn't matter?
Conventional recording wisdom says that you should choose the mic that sounds right in itself, rather than expecting EQ to solve any problems. But do some mics work better with EQ than others?

I use these as a liner glove under shell mitts for skiing. I also use them generally just out and about. The etip fingers work great, and they're quite warm for how light they are. Fit is great, really happy with these ones

I gave this as a gift to a friend. She reported that she "loved" the gloves. She wears them for her commute and for walking around on cool days when you want to answer your phone without taking your gloves off, or reply to a text or two.

Not warm
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The e-touch feature is great, but these are NOT warm. I have a long walk through Chicago for work and if it's below 30, I have to keep my hands in my pockets if I'm wearing these gloves. If you are in an area that never falls below 30 then these are fine. For me, they were not worth the money.

Bought these as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. Sure it's biased because the woman is obsessed with North Face, but she was super excited to get them and loves them to pieces. She wears a medium and says the fit was perfect for her. She was overly excited about her ability to text while wearing them. Call them the first world problem solver and get your loved ones a pair.
I've Ordered Four Pair . . . . .
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
. . . . . of this wonderful gloves -- two pair as Christmas gifts to my daughter and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and two pair for me. :) They are a huge hit with all three of us. First of all, they're stylish and not bulky. Wouldn't be good in really cold weather, but since the point of these is to be able to use electronics while wearing them, it's doubtful that anyone would have a need to text while shoveling three feet of snow in 10 degree weather (other than the random die-hard).

Fits like a Glove :)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Seriously. I have a size small in this glove..and they're perfect. Dexterity is awesome, warmth is amazing and the windstopper material does the job. I have worn these skiing at Snowbird in the 20's and 30's and ski touring in temps at about the same..and these gloves truly are awesome. So comfy and warm. The etip works for keeping gloves on a taking a photo or answering a call quick :).
Great gloves! !
Got these gloves in the gray color as a gift for my wife and she's in love with them.. Keeps her hands warm and they are very flexible and comfortable and not bulky so they look good too! Perfect for this chilly Chicago winter weather.

Odrick- is a beast in the game, a few sacks, hits like a truck, very quick and agile.
Dansby- the leader of the defense and is all over the place.
Vontae- Playmaker of the defense
Sean smith- shut down a few wrs.
Ronnie brown- quick, strong, fast as ever, scored 2 tds.
Jake long- best player on the team, 96 overall. I run to his side 85% of the time.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I've met this surgeon general serving in the Iraq hospitals in the Green Zone. He has been there for some time. When the president pulled all the troops out, they left the doctors there. This is puzzling to me.
We are two years into our relationship and have talked all this time through our computers' messenger service. My boyfriend put in his retirement and did get the retirement. For some reason, he says he still cannot leave Iraq until a replacement is found.
Now I am not hearing from him anymore. The last time was before the holidays. He said he wasn't feeling well, but then he said he was doing OK.
I have become concerned. How can I possible get word through to the hospital over there? Who could get word to me about his condition?
Surgeon General's Girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
OK ... your friend told you he is a surgeon general in the military, right? Well, check this out: Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho is the surgeon general of the Army and her office is in Falls Church, Va. Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan is the incumbent surgeon general of the Navy and Lt. Gen. Thomas W. Travis is currently serving as the surgeon general of the Air Force. So, which one are you dating?
Trust me -- no one wears the title of surgeon general but one of the people I listed above. I hate to tell you, but I don't think you know who the guy you have been messaging really is. Do you know his real name? His unit? His branch of service? His rank?
Here's the deal: I wouldn't pass go with this guy. The next thing he will do is ask you for money because he has to pay in order to leave Iraq.
If I had $5 for every story I've heard like yours, I could pay off my mortgage. Seriously. I doubt if this person is in the U.S. military. He's a sham.
Everybody wants to be a combat veteran post 9/11. I guess it makes you look more patriotic and more masculine ... I don't know. I hear from women on a weekly basis who have lost their personal savings from trying to help some guy in the Army, or a Marine or a sailor who's stuck in combat and needs financial help to leave.
STOP PLEASE!! Women stop being so NAIVE! My advice is to leave him alone and if he contacts you again, I wouldn't respond or give him any further information about you or your whereabouts. Throughout your letter, you indicate that his story "puzzles" you and that "for some reason" you doubt what he says. Listen to yourself and end this "relationship" now.
Ms. Vicki

The Charles County Sheriff's Office is investigating a Friday evening argument that resulted in two people being shot.
At 8:30 p.m. Aug. 23, the sheriff's office responded to the Westlake Dash-In in Waldorf for a report of a shooting.
Based on preliminary information, two vehicles pulled up to the gas pumps and witnesses reported that the groups of people from both vehicles were arguing.
Police said that someone from one of the vehicles pulled out a gun and began to fire. One person from one of the vehicles was struck in the leg, and a passerby who was headed into the convenience store was struck in the arm.
Diane Richardson, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office, said that the passerby struck on the arm was flown to the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Richardson said that later that night, someone showed up at the same medical center with a gunshot wound to the leg. That person is believed to be involved with one of the parties from the argument at the Dash- In, and the injuries do not appear to be life threatening, Richardson said.
Richardson said that both shooting victims are in their 20s.
It is unclear at this time what the two parties were arguing about. The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 301-932-2222 or Charles County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.

Posted in DinoDigs
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a dinosaur! LiveScience.com reports that a small adult dinosaur fossil has been found in the southern U.K. At roughly 15.7 inches long, the new fossil could belong to the world's tiniest dinosaur.
Many of us think dinosaurs were all large creatures that roamed the Earth. But there were actually many smaller groups of dinos that existed as well millions of years ago. University of Portsmouth paleozoologist Darren Naish explained the tiny neck bone belonged to a creature from the maniraptoran group that lived in the Cretaceous period 145 million to 100 million years ago. It is this group that is thought to have led to modern day birds. Because only one vertebra has been found, researchers are unable to say what the dino ate and how long it truly was.
Two techniques were used to estimate the size of the maniraptoran. One method involved fitting a digital model of the dinosaur's neck into a body of a generic maniraptoran. The other method used neck-to-body ratios of other related dinosaurs to estimate the maniraptoran's length. Both methods estimated the size of the dino to be 13 to 15.7 inches.
The new dinosaur has not been named yet, but it's being referred to as the "Ashdown dino," based on the location where it was found. If the Ashdown dino is found to be the smallest on record, it will beat out Anchiornis, another birdlike dinosaur that lived in what is now China 160 million to 155 million years ago. It would also be smaller than North America's smallest known dinosaur, Hesperonychus elizabethae, a velociraptor-like predator that was about a foot and a half (50 cm) tall and weighed 4 pounds (2 kilograms).
A newly-discovered maniraptoran dinosaur may have looked like the feathered dinosaur seen here, about to become a snack for the larger Darwinopterus modularis.

I don't have a blog but I do have some more photos of Russell with his now sadly passed away girlfriend Poppy: http://www.unhinged.eclipse.co.uk/
He's now got two other girl friends who I've not got pictures of at the moment I'm afraid. He is a rex though.
@mark. Thanks! Poppy was a stunner too! I'm sorry she's gone. And you take great pictures. I especially like the ones taken outside.
He is one of the most amazingly handsome bunnies I have ever seen.
I'm like... WOW...
I have never seen one like him. Is he a 'black otter' rex? Are they are to find? I've always gone for lop ears before... but I could be seduced away by that boy..
What a handsome bunny!
We're not sure what sort of rex he is. He's quite brown (we thought chocolate) but noone's given us a conclusive answer. We weren't into rabbits when we got him but when the chap at the garden centre said they could live indoors he came home with us (we were there for gardening stuff!). He had those strange ears that aren't upright like most rexs.
I'd never get a rabbit from a pet place again though. Our other 3 have all been rescue rabbits.
Likewise the stacks make me say "pahteweh" damn them stacks! dens of iniquity and whatnot!
What kind of breed is Russell? My rabbit looks just like him, and we can not figure out the breed.
He's a Rex. They've got velvet coats, curly rather than straight whiskers and standy-up ears as opposed to lops. They come in loads of colours.
Thanks for the message back. As soon as I posted my question I read the above posts. I search "black otter rex" and my bunny looks like one.
I must just say that Russell and his 2 girlfriends stay at our rabbit rescue on their holidays and one of his girlfriends came from our rescue centre. Now, I will point out at this stage that Russell has owners who LOVE him more than you can imagine, he lives the life of wonderful bliss as a house bunny with all the space, toys and good quality hay you could imagine. Not only does he have ONE beautiful girlfriend..no, he has TWO beautiful girlfriends. The boy is a vertitable Hugh Heffner of rabbits. He comes to our 5 star boarding facility on his holidays (none of yer cheap motel standards here) and all round this boy has it all...the looks, the life, the love...and is he grateful?Humble?Appreciative? OF COURSE NOT! Russell DISAPPROVES so deeply he really doesnt believe that we are worthy to look at him and believe me, I know....I bear the scars of his disapproval on my heart forever....(!!!!!)
Russell is too handsome! *fainted* And thank you for sharing the pictures of Russell and Poppy, Mark. So much disapproval mixed with adorableness... *faints again*
Ah ha! So not a rex at all after all these years. He certainly looks like the chocolate Silver Marten on that page. Thanks. He'll not be happy we've misled him all this time.

David "Mystic Meg" Tredinnick MP to judge Science and TechnologyPosted on January 1, 2013
Back in 2009, at the height of the MPs' expenses scandal, there were plenty of hilarious, infuriating and odd examples of politicians wasting taxpayers' money. Some have become immortal – duck houses, moat repairs, Jacqui Smith's porn claim and so on.
Sadly, one of my favourites has largely been forgotten – the case of David Tredinnick MP, who charged the taxpayer for the software and tuition required so he could become an astrologer. No, not an astronomer like Brian Cox or the much-lamented Patrick Moore – an astrologer. Think Nostradamus, carnival sideshow con artists and newspaper horoscope columns that say things like "As the new phase of Venus enters the Cancerian optimum, consider buying a scratch card – or a second hand Vauxhall."
I wrote about it for the TPA at the time, suggesting the public might like to email Mystic Tredinnick and request he read their future, given that they had paid for his so-called education. He didn't take it very well, and as far as I'm aware he never did agree to give out any lottery numbers in advance – though he did later agree to pay back the money he had claimed.
This wasn't a one-off. As well as his taxpayer-funded foray into the territory of Gypsy Rose Lee, the Member for Bosworth has also pressed the NHS to fund homeopathy, claimed that "remote healing" via telekinesis works despite the total absence of evidence and argued that surgeons and police officers should plan their work according to the cycle of the moon.
Now it has come to my attention, via The Geek Manifesto, that not only is the Parliamentary equivalent of Paul Daniels still going, but he has been elected onto the Science and Technology Select Committee. This is an MP who not only believes in just about every debunked alternative therapy going, but who openly and repeatedly places anecdotal evidence above statistical studies. The ability and the willingness to assess and weigh evidence is the foundation of science – and yet science policy will now be studied by someone who rejects the very concept of what is and is not evidence.
One of the Select Committee's upcoming Inquiries is into the way clinical drug trials are carried out in the UK. Will the people really be best served by someone who rejects the evidential proof that homeopathy does not work?
It doesn't take David Tredinnick's crystal ball to see that this is a car crash waiting to happen.

I was surprised they did it for Windows Mobile 7 (oh wait its Windows Phone 7 series, what a stupid name), so there's hope yet. There's no reason why all of Win32 can't run virtualized for legacy apps, just like they did for the 16-bit subsystem, XP compat etc.
This would be more of a political rather than technical decision by the time Windows 8/9 comes out anyway.

About LIM College
Book Club Meeting
This month's selection: Let the Right One in by John Ajvide Lindqvist
The LIM College Book Club will meet on Sept. 30 at 6:15 p.m. in the Adrian G. Marcuse Library (Maxwell Hall - 2nd floor).
This month's selection Let the Right One In, also known as Let Me In, is a 2004 vampire fiction novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist. The story centers on the relationship between a 12-year-old boy, Oskar, and a 200-year-old vampire child, Eli. It takes place in Blackeberg, a working class suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s.
The book was a bestseller in the author's home country of Sweden and has been translated into Danish, German, Russian, English in 2007 and Finnish in 2008. A Swedish language film version by the same name, directed by Tomas Alfredson, was released in 2008 to widespread critical acclaim. An English language remake, to be directed by Matt Reeves, is scheduled for release in 2010.
New Book Club members may be able to receive a free copy of the book. To join the Book Club, or for more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com

What WORK works for you?
Figuring out the right fit will feed your recovery
By Chris Swingle
For most of his working life, Charles of Florida took pride in his identity as a hard-driving professional. At different times, he ran a jewelry repair shop, directed campaigns for the United Way, and worked around the clock as a political fund-raiser.
"I enjoyed the power and the prestige, and I enjoyed the money," the 58-year-old says.
That all changed when he hit a wall of depression seven years ago. He couldn't stop crying. Everything felt threatening. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he realized the high energy and workaholic tendency he'd had since his early teens were hypomanic symptoms.
Since then, Charles has been able to manage only slow-paced, part-time work. He puts in about 10 hours a week posting sermons and other information on two church websites.
Financially, "it's been like falling off a cliff," he says. No more expensive cars, fine clothes, and vacations in the Caribbean. His savings are gone and he depends on food stamps and government support. On top of that, he's traveling a long road of redefining himself in terms beyond, "So, what do you do?"
Kathleen, 45, of Connecticut, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she became manic during her first year at Harvard Law School. With her degree in hand and her disorder under treatment, she thought representing clients at a legal aid program would be her dream job. Then she was voluntarily hospitalized five times over 18 months for depression. It became obvious that she couldn't stay in that line of work and stay in balance.
Now she's thriving in a position with a legal aid hotline, she says, "doing a job I absolutely love."
Like many people with bipolar disorder, Charles and Kathleen have learned that finding the right employment fit is a key to managing their mood disorder. Solutions vary from individual to individual: switching to a different type of job, scaling back to part-time employment, or taking on volunteer positions as a way to get the structure, socialization and satisfaction provided by work.
Multiple studies have found that a majority of people with bipolar don't hold a paid job. In an analysis of work functioning that appeared in the February-March 2007 issue of Bipolar Disorders, Canadian researchers phrased it this way: "Employment rates are relatively low in this patient population.". … [end of excerpt]

G Saké
An Ultrapremium Saké, Born In The U.S.A.
Beer has its place at summer barbecues or alongside a hot slice of pizza, and there seems to be a wine pairing for everything from the finest caviars to the lowliest pork rinds. But there is simply nothing more refreshing, relaxing and cleansing than a chilled glass of saké before a meal, with a meal or after it. We've even considered replacing the glass of water on the bedside table with a carafe of saké, but we are guessing our mothers wouldn't approve.
While saké can intimidate first-timers with its dry taste and alcoholic bite, G saké from Oregon's SakéOne is smooth and round on the palate, with just a little bite at the finish. "G" stands for genshu; and although genshu refers to premium-grade and a cask-strength of 18% to 21% alcohol, the sexual reference is hard to miss. G saké contains 18% alcohol, but it is smooth and silky and, well, sexy. It is a Junmai Ginjo Genshu Saké. (Click here for Sake 101, which explains more about the categories of saké.) While it is made in America (there are three sakéries in the U.S.), it will please saké purists.
G Saké
Most sushi bars offer saké hot, but high-quality saké should be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature (the heat covers up flaws, and enables a lower-quality saké to be served—not that there's anything wrong enjoying warm saké). When we had our first taste of G, it was straight from the fridge. It was delicious: crisp, dry, with light citrus notes. But as it came up to room temperature, its true flavors really shone through: creamy, deep melon notes emerged, and the saké's "legs" seemed to stretch out past our palates and into our bellies, where it left us warm and satisfied. While this saké is tailored to be pleasing to American tastes, it certainly didn't leave us wishing we had gone with a more expensive import.
G's stunning black bottle also sets itself apart from other sakés. Like all wines, saké should be from being protected from the destructive rays of light, so the dark color is an obvious choice. But the bottle's wide, tapered shape makes it an attractive conversation piece, suitable to serve your guests from if you don't have a saké set. Saké of this caliber can even be served in a white wine glass.
Cooking With Saké
Saké is also as versatile as wine in cooking. It is great in marinades, as it helps to tenderize the meat. Saké's flavors enhance sautéed vegetables, fish and poultry. Here are some simple ways to "saké" it to your food. You might not want to pour too much of the premium-priced G into the pot, but for half the price, you should consider adding saké to:
We love G for its name. While some of our favorite sakés have names like Hokusetsu Jyunmai Daiginjyo, we find ourselves checking our notebooks to remember how to pronounce them, and we have a tough time picking them out on the shelf at a wine store. We love G because all we need to do to remember it is think, "Gee, I would really love a cool glass of saké right about now," and then reach for the distinctive black bottle.
Pick up a bottle next time you are entertaining, and impress your guests with something new: G's appealing, accessible flavor that will pair well with everything from Asian-style dishes to cheese courses and grilled meats.

Girl Scout cookies go on sale beginning Friday, and the lineup will feature the new Mango Creme cookie.
Here are more details about the new cookie and the cookie sale:
New cookie
The Mango Creme cookie replaces the Shout Out, a crisp, Belgian-style, caramelized cookie introduced in 2011. The other cookies being offered this year include longtime favorites Thin Mints, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Caramel deLites, Thanks-A-Lot and Lemonades. The price for all cookies is $3.50 per box, the same as in recent years.
Mango Cremes are touted as a healthier cookie option on the website of ABC Bakers (www.abcsmartcookies.com), which bakes all of the cookies for the local Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana organization.
ABC Bakers describes the Mango Cremes as a sandwich cookie with a crunchy, vanilla-and-coconut top and bottom, with mango-flavored creme filling between them.
The cookies contain no trans fats, hydrogenated oils or preservatives, ABC Bakers says on its website. The treats contain "NutriFusion," which ABC Bakers says gives the cookies "all the nutrient benefits of eating cranberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapes and strawberries!"
Health information says one serving (three cookies) includes 15 percent RDI (reference daily intake) of Vitamin B1 and 6 percent of vitamins A, C, D, E and B6.
The cookies contain 180 calories per serving, of which 70 calories are from fat, the website says. That translates into 8 grams of total fat (12 percent of daily value), and 4 grams of saturated fat (20 percent of daily value). They contain no cholesterol, 100 mg of sodium, 11 grams of sugar, 1 gram of protein and virtually no fiber, the website says.
Just for comparison, perennially popular Thin Mints contain 160 calories per serving (four cookies), of which 70 calories are from fat, the website says. That figures out to 7 grams of total fat (11 percent of daily value) and 5 grams of saturated fat (25 percent of daily value). Thin Mints also contain no cholesterol, 110 mg of sodium, 11 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein and virtually no fiber or vitamins.
The cookie sale
The Girl Scout cookie sale will continue through March 12.
To find the location of Girl Scout cookie sale booths near you, go to the local organization's website, www.gsnim.org. You also can call 1-800-283-4812.
You also can go to the website to make a donation through the Cookie Share program, which sends Girl Scout cookies to U.S. military personnel, a Girl Scouts news release said.
Along with raising funds for the Girl Scout organization and girls' individual troop, the cookie sale helps girls develop life and leadership skills, the Girl Scouts' news release said.
As part of cookie sale activities, girls learn how to plan, work in teams, make decisions, solve problems and manage resources.
The Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana serves more than 11,000 girls ages 5-17, with help from more than 4,200 adult volunteers, the news release said.

Pro Tapes Pro-Glow Glow in the Dark Tape is a phosphorescent vinyl film tape which glows in total darkness after exposure to artificial or natural light. The photoluminescent light source is designed to absorb energy from any nearby ambient light such as fluorescent lamps or sunlight. Once the source of extraneous light is removed Pro-Glow emits a light source of its own which is visible to the night-adjusted eye. When fully charged Pro-Glow provides luminance for up to 10 hours. There isn't a limit to the number of times this product can be recharged (also remains highly effective for use for up to 6 years). It will glows brightest for the first 15 to 30 minutes after charging has ceased, but will remain visible in a totally dark room to the night-adjusted eye; however it would not compare it brightness to say a standard flashlight. In its uncharged state the tape has a whitish/yellow color and when glowing the tape has a luminescent lime green color. Recommended for interior applications only. Pro Glow is used to spike stages for the placement of scenery and to mark exits, light switches and panels in dark areas. The tape's flexible backing is conformable and easy to cut. Made in the U.S.A.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
