Doctor Who: Revisitations 2 - Part 1 (UK - DVD R2)
The green-fingered Wilson Bros open the packet & sow The Seeds of Doom...
Due to the increased traffic for us in terms of reviewing, these Revisitations reviews will be in a more compact form; Doctor Who fans will be more than familiar with the stories, but we have included some of the essential information to bring those outside of Who-fandom up to speed...
The Doctor/Companions: The Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Fraser Hines), Zoe (Wendy Padbury)
The Adversaries: The Ice Warriors
The Plot: The Doctor and his companions find themselves on Earth in the future, only to discover that contact with the Moon has been lost and also that Mars' notorious sub-zero soldiers are planning to take over Earth by transporting themselves to our planet by using the revolutionary T-Mat instantaneous traveling device and changing the climate to suit their own needs, literally freezing out the competition presented by the human race in the process.
Observations: This is a fun story, bringing back the Ice Warriors during a season that seemed to mainly comprise of "monsters". The Ice Warriors are expanded (well, they are cold) in a nice way, showing different parts of the command structure, including Ice Lord Slaar (Alan Bennion) and the Grand Marshall (Graham Leaman).
Troughton, Hines and Padbury are all as wonderful as ever, despite the fact that their time on the show was fast coming to an end - it is arguable that out of all of the Doctor/Companion combinations in the whole history of Doctor Who, that there was never a grouping that had as much on-screen chemistry as the three in this story. You can clearly see that they are having a ball, but when the story calls for them to be deadly serious, they are all perfectly capable of delivering the goods.
Alan Bennion breathes (or should that be exhales sibilantly?) a new lease of life into the Ice Warriors (combined with Brian Hayles' and Terrance Dick's script), presenting Slaar as a cunning, ruthless individual, ready to lead his warriors into battle; the lumbering warriors themselves were desperately in need of a commander - they worked well in their first story, but they would have been a little tiresome if they had remained that way in The Seeds of Death.
The main bugbear that some fans have with this story is that it is yet another example of a six-parter that could easily have been told in four parts; it is true that the first episode or two feels like padding, but then again, even some of the best stories comprising of six or more episodes can feel padded or at least take an episode or two to kick into gear (the otherwise wonderful Inferno being a good example).
All three of the stories in this Revisitations set have had work to improve the AV quality. The Seeds of Death (if our collective memory serves) was the first Doctor Who title released on DVD to undergo the VIDFire process of giving the film-recordings an appearance truer to the original videotaped look.
We were in a position to have a side-by-side comparison of the original DVD release of The Seeds of Death up against this reissue - there isn't a great deal of difference between the two, especially on the videotaped studio material; this new version appears to be fractionally sharper than the older version.
The results on the original release were incredibly impressive, allowing those not old enough to watch the story when it originally went out to see it in a way that is remarkably close to how it would have seemed when seeing it back in 1969. The fact that the original DVD issue were so good leaves little room for improvement on this copy, so much so that we were unable to find much in the way of evidence of further restoration, but we have been assured that it's there.
On it's own terms, The Seeds of Death looks absolutely wonderful on DVD; this story, along with the single remaining episode of The Enemy of the World, are the best-looking of sixties Doctor Who on DVD; the prints are wonderfully clean and there is a surprising amount of fine detail on the studio material and it just has the feeling that this should be the story to play to somebody when demonstrating just how good monochromatic Doctor Who can look when a little love and attention has been lavished upon it.
Everything sounds fine to us - the Ice Warriors are a tad difficult to understand at times, but this is almost certainly because of their sibilant speech and the limitations of the audio technology of the time. Everything is all in order, with Dudley Simpson's innovative music as pleasant to the ears as can be expected from such an avant-garde score. The sound is as good as it can possibly be, with little in the way of crackle and hiss (well, the Ice Warriors always hiss), and it's generally all good.
Audio Commentary: Ported over from the original release, this features actors Fraser Hines, Wendy Padbury, director Michael Ferguson and script editor Terrance Dicks. This is a fun listen, with Padbury and Hines being as good as they always are, still having the same sort of chemistry that they shared all those years ago, but Hines has a keen eye and makes observations that are wonderfully informative as well as being very funny (noting that even in the future, with all computerised technology at their disposal, the human race still has the need for clipboards). There is a lot of backslapping ( "such-and-such was marvellous", etc) , but this is to be expected when such a concentration of old-school talent is put in a small recording booth; everyone sings the praises of Patrick Troughton, but most Doctor Who fans can easily overlook this, as he was such a talented actor - director Ferguson describes as being "like a cross between Laurence Olivier and Charlie Chaplin", and who could possibly argue with that? Ferguson also mentions his experiences with William Hartnell, and as expected, he was very different from the easy-going Troughton. Terrance Dicks joins them at the start of episode three and gives things a boost when they were threatening to become a little stale - though there are quite a number of fans who aren't particularly enamoured of this particular scribe, he's always damn entertaining when talking about his experiences on Doctor Who, even if does mention that remark about Pertwee's hair getting more and more bouffant during his time as The Doctor. The best part of the commentary comes when Padders apologises profusely about her on-screen corpsing when Pat slips and falls in the foam at the beginning of episode six, which has everyone in the recording booth laughing.
The Lords of the Red Planet: New - This 28 minute documentary takes an overview of the making of The Seeds of Death, from Brian Hayles' original conception of The Ice Warriors, through to Terrence Dicks' inadvertent rewrite, to location filming and finally to studio recording. Hosted by Doctor Who authority and Medway Townie Richard Bignell, this is an enjoyable romp through the making of this story, filled with numerous anecdotes from the people involved, including a Rashomon-like telling of the story of the rampaging Ice Warrior on Hampstead Heath that allegedly caused a female motorist to crash her car into the back of a police vehicle or into a tree, depending upon whoever was telling the story at the time.
The tale of Wendy Padbury laughing at Patrick Troughton's unplanned slip-up at the hands of the foam machine is also recounted, with Padders arguing in her own defence that her explosion of on-screen mirth was impossible to stifle, no matter what anyone else might say to the contrary; director Michael Ferguson tries to convince the audience that Zoe was simply laughing out of shock at The Doctor's horrifying predicament - it should be pointed out that there is a knowing glint in his eye when he says this.
Monster Masterclass: New - Director Michael Ferguson hosts this short piece (around four minutes) where he gives his own personal opinion on how monsters should be presented on Doctor Who, whilst clips from the stories he directed appear to underscore his words. There's no arguing that The Ice Warriors were very effective adversaries on Doctor Who, but clips of WOTAN declaring "Doc... tor... Who... is... re... quired!" do precious little to help bolster his argument, as WOTAN was pretty naff - an immovable tinpot dictator that constantly issued orders that were generally ignored, but the similarities between him and John Nathan-Turner end there.
The Monsters Who Came Back for More: New - This is an entertaining look at some of the cosmic adversaries of The Doctor who had the masochistic leaning of trying to act upon their desires to conquer the Earth (or even the universe) more than once. The contributors for this 16 minute piece are Big Finish Big Cheese Nick Briggs and Doctor Who Magazine assistant editor Peter Ware; Briggs is on sparkling form here, taking centre stage as he gives his thoughts on recurring monsters in Doctor Who and the reasons for bringing them back - Briggs he has the same cynical view as we have, in that some of them return not necessarily because they are popular, but for the simple practical and economical reasons of having the costumes available (there were endless debates as to why certain monsters would join the big band who wanted to imprison the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica during the two-part finale to series five of New-Who - the real answer is because the production team still had access to the outfits). Briggs also gleefully puts the boot into some of the attempts to replicate the popularity of the Daleks, including The War Machines, which he gives a pretty funny (yet also fairly accurate) physical impersonation of one. There is an amusing discussion as to the Doctor Who monster equivalent of a football league table, complete with on-screen graphics and a minor degree of controversy as to which monsters should be where on the league table; there's no denying that the Daleks would be at the top of the table, with the Cybermen following a very close second - after that, there's essentially a free-for-all, with Ice Warriors, Zygons and Sontarons all vying for the highest possible placement (A Troughton-obsessed friend of our will be pleased to see Nick Briggs include the Yeti in the table - this would be because he likes the Yeti, as they bear more than a passing physical resemblance to his wife…). One-shot monsters The Zygons and The Draconians have stuck in the memory of fans even though they only appeared once, which is a testament to the power they have to thrill and scare the living shit out of an audience, but the most memorable monsters of all were too good for producers on the show to pass up and the Troughton era of Doctor Who turned out to set the template for monsters who could negotiate terrain a bit more challenging than a smooth studio floor.
TARDIS Cam No6: This is another one of those oddities that were included as extras on some of the earliest Doctor Who DVD releases, which feature various images of the TARDIS in space or on some alien world or environment. These were originally prepared for the BBC website way back before Doctor Who returned to our screens - they were almost like a calling-card to show to people just what could be achieved with computer-generated imagery. Mike Tucker, who would go on to work on New-Who, oversaw these impressive little peeks into a possible future for the show. Clocking in at just under a minute, this TARDIS Cam features the iconic time and space machine on the surface of a snow-covered planet, with the door left tantalisingly open…
Audio Trailer: This is an off-air recording of the trailer that was used to promote The Seeds of Death, which was almost certainly recorded by a fan on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. It gives a nice little insight into how this story (and Doctor Who in general) was marketed to the public at that time, with a plumy RP voice referring to the main character as "Doctor Who". This plays over the Episode Selection menu, which nicely breathes a little more life into what is a static screen.
Photo Gallery: This four-and-a-half minute collections of pictures is pretty interesting to watch, as they are comprised of a mixture of publicity stills, behind-the-scenes snaps and production design pictures. There are even glimpses of Ice Warriors in a state of undress, with the braces that hold up the waders clearly on display (who would have thought that Mars' fearsome warriors wore suspenders…?), but the best picture has got to be one where Wendy Padbury and Sonny Caldinez share a cute moment together. The stills are accompanied by Dudley Simpson's fairly avant-garde music score and Dick Mills' special sounds.
Coming Soon Trailer: Good Grief! It's Planet of the Spiders next, it may be the Third Doctor's swansong, but many will remember this one for episode two's automotive pornography pandering to Pertwee's particular passion for power.
Info Text: This is yet another fine job (as they always are), bringing you all manner of fascintating facts, titilating trivia and scintilating statistics regarding the pre-production, production, post-production and the critical reception of The Seeds of Death. One of the most bizarre moments in the info-text on this disc is when it points out that Zoe is using a Bic crystal biro pen and informs the viewer when they were first available.
PDF Material: If you were to insert this disc into your PC, you would be whisked back to the times when there was only really one weekly listings guide available for television and radio, as you are presented with the Radio Times listings for The Seeds of Death. The list for episode one includes a little picture of Troughton, and all of them have synopses and cast and crew listings. What is interesting is that Troughton is credited as "Dr Who", but the character is referred to as "The Doctor" in all of the episode synopses - very strange.
Easter Egg: It's not difficult to find and we won't tell you exactly what it is, but let's just say that you get to see what sort of reaction Wendy Padbury's inadvertent mirth during episode six had on those around her…
Yes, we know that it's essentially a four-parter padded out to six, but it's still tremendous fun, with Troughton, Hines and Padbury giving it their all, despite the next story being their penultimate one. The Ice Warriors make for great adversaries and the cliffhanger of episode five is one of the best of the series.
The work that the Doctor Who Restoration Team have put into this release is fabulous and the new extras are wonderfully entertaining, especially The Monsters Who Came Back for More, and make this worth the upgrade. Recommended.

Thanks you guys! Wasn't sure whether to pick this set up as I already have Seeds of Death, but you've convinced me! Seeds was actually the first DW VHS I owned as a kid in the 80s. Up till then I'd only seen Troughton in The Krotons as part of the Five Faces season. This story convinced me that he was a good Doctor after all. Troughton now stands as equal first with Tom Baker as my favourite Doctor. Carnival is one of the few Pertwees I like and Resurrection scared the c**p out of me as a kid. Did I read somewhere that ithas more onscreen deaths than Natural Born Killers? ISTR the onscreen body count comes in at something like 85 for Resurrection!!
Re: Visitations.... Ah, a man of taste and discrimination! This is a really strong selection of stories for the set, as Seeds of Death features the winning combination of Troughton and the Ice Warriors, whilst Carnival of Monsters is excellent in both concept and execution, where Nu-Who writers must be kicking themselves that they didn't think of it first. Resurrection of the Daleks might not be liked by certain fans, but it has tons of action, more violence than a Saturday night in Stockport and one of the most affecting departures in the history of the show. The body-count for Resurrection IS pretty damn high, anyway!
Troughton was always good as The Doctor, always putting in a top-notch performance even if the material he had to work with was occasionally questionable. Troughton is our favourite actor to play The Doctor - he had us as soon as we saw The Krotons during the Five Faces season. With so many Troughton stories left incomplete, there are many who have only seen The Krotons, mainly through the aforementioned Five Faces of Doctor Who repeat in the early 80s, and the story in question isn't exactly the best the Second Doctor had to offer, so any chance get his other tales out there is a welcome one. The Seeds of Death really is a fun watch, and might be a jolt to those who only remember the Ice Warriors from the Peladon-based ones from the Pertwee era.
The whole set is a really good deal, with extras so extensive you might even sport a beard by the time you have gone through them all.
Happy viewing, Glad you liked the review!

I need to see this one and I wish they put The Ice warriors out on DVD even though it is missing two episodes
2Entertain doubtless have something planned for the DVD release of The Ice Warriors.
Loose Canon have a great recon of the two missing episodes, which you can request through their website. It's so good that it's almost like watching the actual episodes.

I don't really see anything that warrants another release. I thought the previous one was just fine. The documentaries look fun, but I don't know if you should get the new dvd just to get one....but I probably will as I am a huge Who fan.
The new documentaries ARE good - what seems to be the case with the titles selected for the Revisitations sets are they want to included in-depth "making-of" documentaries that were missing from the original releases, which is no bad thing, as the extras seem incomplete without them.

Valentine's Day Allergen-free Sunflower Seed Un-Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
This is a Valentine's Day that I may never forget. After all, it is the first Valentine's Day I get to celebrate with the new love of my life, Baby Yum, and the first and last love of my life, the DH. I thought that a day like this deserved a treat that was equally special. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of my favorite gluten-free candies, and I was recently inspired in a visit to Boulder, Colorado by a new company and their gluten-free (but not dairy-free) sunflower seed butter cups. So, this holiday I decided to make my own, completely free of soy, dairy, gluten, peanuts and of course eggs. (Luckily I've not yet seen peanut butter cups with eggs, but you never know what some maniac might decide to do..) I made the sunflower seed butter from scratch, combining about a cup of sunflower seeds (some raw, some roasted, all unsalted) with 3 tbsp. canola oil, a tablespoon of honey and a dash of salt in my mini food processor. It was a darned tasty treat already, but when I used it in my non-peanut butter cups, it was even better. Feel free to adjust sweetness and saltiness to taste- this recipe is all about pleasing your own palate while avoiding some not-so-pleasing allergens. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
*This recipe is easily vegan if you substitute vegan sugar and use agave nectar instead of honey. Go for it!
Homemade Dairy, Soy and Nut Free Sunflower Butter Chocolate Cup Recipe
1 cup Enjoy Life DF SF chocolate chips
1 tablespoons palm oil shortening (Spectrum or Whole Foods)
1/3 cup Earth Balance No Soy margarine
Shaped paper cups (for confectionery or mini muffin tin liners)
Melt chocolate and shortening in microwave on half power for 1 minute, stirring and then heating in 30 second intervals, stirring after each cycle. It only takes me one or two 30 second cycles. Baste your paper cups with a layer of melted chocolate on the bottom and sides. Put in refrigerator to cool and harden. Reserve enough chocolate to cover the top of your cups.
Meanwhile, combine margarine, sunflower seed butter, sweetener and salt in a pan and heat on medium-low, stirring frequently. When smooth and tasty, remove from burner and let cool.
To assemble fill each cup with your cooled sunbutter filling and then drizzle chocolate on top, using a spoon to spread it and smooth around the edges. let cool and then enjoy as desired. Freezes well!
*I had 6 tini heart-tins and six about the size of a regular 12 count muffin liner, but had to be slightly skimpy with the chocolate. Recipe makes extra nut butter filling- try it in a "nut butter chocolate pie"

UAE regulation to include gas-powered cookers
Dubai, May 10, 2011
The UAE's regulation concerning the control of electrical and electronic products in the market has now added gas-powered cookers and other gas-powered cooking appliances.
The regulation brings the total number of government-controlled appliances to 12.
The law, approved last month by the UAE cabinet, is scheduled for implementation beginning 2012. The move follows the successful monitoring and control of electric stoves last year.
Currently, Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (Esma) – the federal agency in charge of the conformity and standards– controls and monitors the quality of plugs, extension cords, electric irons, microwave ovens, washing machines and dryers, electric stoves, refrigerators, heaters, freezers and chillers and room air conditioners available in the country.
"We have begun controlling gas cylinders but we also have to monitor gas-powered cookers as they form a potential hazard to the lives and safety of people and properties. We estimate that beginning 2012, all gas-powered cooking appliances will have to be verified and certified by Esma," said Mohammad Saleh Badri, acting director general, Esma.
As per the government's requirement, all cooking appliances – gas and electric-powered – will have to obtain approval from Esma before it is allowed entry to the UAE.
Esma is now in the process of controlling gas cylinders but to ensure optimum safety, the authority is also concentrating on preventing any problem that may arise from appliances that do not conform to the standards issued by GCC Standardization Organization (GSO).
Esma will implement the programme in coordination with the UAE Customs offices, UAE Civil Defense departments, and other local authorities. Esma is also in the process of issuing the certificates of conformity electronically through UAE's e-government where the supplier can get approval on line.-TradeArabia News Service

In regards to hockey equipement a lot of what gear is the best always comes down to personal preference. All the major manufacturers are doing a great job at offering the different level price point pads, and making good equipment. However, especially on youtube many people ask for our opinion on what equipment is better (side note: we definitely appreciate all of the input and contributions on our youtube, facebook, and message board…if you contribute, thank you, and keep it up).
So based on this, I plan to post some blogs based strictly on personal opinion and let you guys know what equipment I or whoever is posting is excited about.
Starting it off, let's talk about shoulder pads. I have been really impressed with the progression of shoulder pads. There are several companies that are doing excellent job on offering great protection without limiting mobility. Mobility has always been a key issue for me when selecting shoulder pads. This is probably the biggest selling point for me, and the first thing I look at. So there is no surprise that the pads I have selected are all pads that offer great mobility and still an advanced level of protection.
Easton earlier this year came out with the S19 shoulder pads. The S19 have a very lightweight feel that does not feel binding at all. I particularly like the three panel design with the perforated thin outer panels. Easton has also given the S19 shoulder pads a good size cut out between the arm and sternum. This allows for improved mobility especially crossing your arms across your body which happens often when stick handling.
Next up is the Warrior Projekt Shoulder pads. Warrior introduced the Projekt line a little while ago and I have been impressed by this line. I think it was a great contribution to the Warrior protective line. The Projekt has focused on the use of Zote foam to make the pads very light, and the Projekt Shoulder pads has done just that. The Zote foam works great for hockey equipment becuase it is light absorbs a ton of energy and in my opinion best of all it is not rigid. Warrior has used almost a mesh like vest with their top of the line liner on the inside as the base of this pad with the protective pieces attached. This base has given the pad a light airy feel. I also really like it when shoulder pads feature segmented bicep guards. This pad like all of the other pads I have chosen have segmented biceps, which allows for better arm movement and does not compromise protection.
Finally, maybe my number one pick is the Bauer Vapor X60 shoulder pad. In my opinion there is a huge jump from the X40 to the X60 shoulder pad. The X60 offers exceptional mobility but definitely offers an advanced to pro level protection. It has a significant size and pad coverage leading one to think it will feel bulky or heavy. Although, once you put it on you almost feel foolish for expecting that of this pad. Bauer has used several segmented panels that are allowed to over lap and move past each other ensuring great mobility and protection. A couple of the unique design features are the elastic lacing system inside the pad to determine how tight the chest panels are. This allows one to make the pad a little looser yet having the side fastened, which I prefer. Another unique feature is the design of the shoulder cap and clavicle. Similar to the bicep guard they are designed to allow them to overlap allowing for arm movement without pushing the clavicle guard into your neck.
So there it is. I hope if you were looking on an opinion on shoulder pads you have what you need. Be sure to check out the rest of the shoulder pads on IceWarehouse.com. There are plenty more excellent pads that did not make the list today, but might make yours.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 18, 2009) - Two Charlotte goals in each half proved to be the difference, as the ETSU women's soccer team fell 4-0 Friday night at the D.L. Phillips Soccer Complex in Charlotte, N.C.
With the loss the Bucs close out their non-conference slate with a 1-7-0 record, while the 49ers improve to a 5-2-0 mark. Overall, ETSU faced one of its toughest non-conference schedules in program history with road trips against five 2008 NCAA Tournament participants.
"We knew going into the season that we had tough road matches against teams like Charlotte, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Tennessee," said head coach Heather Henson. "We did this where our team would be prepared for conference play later in the season. Anytime you play good programs, you learn a lot about your own team. This non-conference schedule allowed us to figure out what things worked and what areas we need to still improve in."
Charlotte opened the scoring quickly as junior midfielder Kirby Stenard netted her second goal of the season with five minutes off the board.
The 49ers extended their advantage to 2-0 after senior forward Hailey Beam tapped home a well-placed cross from teammate Oni Bernard in the 23rd minute.
"(Charlotte head coach) John and his staff did some things early that caused some confusion in our backline," said Henson. "They're such a good team staying organized with their tactical offense that when our defense rotated over, Charlotte was able to take advantage of some lanes that opened up."
After the intermission, Charlotte added to its two-goal lead when freshman defender Lacey McGrowan cleaned up a Beam corner kick inside the box giving the 49ers a 3-0 tally with 37 minutes to play.
Charlotte added one final goal in the 75th minute as junior forward Sam Fried followed up her initial shot, beating the outstretched arms of ETSU sophomore keeper Caitlin Gaughan (Indianapolis, Ind.).
"After halftime I thought our team played with better effort," said Henson. "One thing we talked about was how our defenders needed to play as a unit and for the majority of the second period we did that."
Overall, the 49ers dominated offense play with a 28-4 advantage in shots, while leading in corners 11-1.
Individually, the Bucs were led by a trio of players, senior Kia Kindell (Westchester, Ohio), sophomore Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio) and freshman Kathy Musacchio (Nashville, Tenn.), who each fired one shot on goal.
ETSU will now take a week off before opening A-Sun play against North Florida next Friday inside Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"From the start of preseason till now, I know our team has became better in a number of areas," Henson said. "We've worked hard becoming a more dynamic attacking squad. We knew with this type of early schedule our players were going to be exposed to top-level programs with great speed. I believe our girls learned that we can play against any pace, which is only going to help as league play kicks off next week."

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) — Ted Ligety became the first man in 45 years to win three gold medals at a skiing world championships by blowing away the field in winning his favored giant slalom on Friday.
The American can match French great Jean-Claude Killy, who earned four golds in 1968, if he wins Sunday's slalom.
"I am super pumped. This is such a cool feeling," Ligety said. "I am glad I've done it ... it's been a dream for sure. It's been a really cool experience."
Defending champion Ligety, who also took the super-G and super-combined titles, built on his big first-run lead of 1.31 seconds with a fast start but cautious finish in the second.
Marcel Hirscher of Austria was 0.81 behind in second, and Manfred Moelgg of Italy took third, trailing Ligety by 1.75.
"This has been a crazy and unbelievable week. It's definitely far exceeded my expectations," Ligety said. "To win three gold medals here is awesome. It's a really cool feeling to join some of the legends of our sports."
Ligety is the first American to win two world GS titles, and has equaled Bode Miller's American record of four golds at the worlds.
"It's been pretty surreal," Ligety said. "I knew I had good chances of medals in those other two events but I didn't think the chances were gold-medal chances. So to achieve that this week it's been unbelievable. It's been by far the best week of ski racing in my life. So hopefully I can continue that streak and step up in those other events on a more regular basis.
"I definitely had a lot of pressure in the GS being the defending champion. With these gold medals it added a little bit of extra pressure for sure, so to live up to that is awesome."
Ligety, who smiled and closed his eyes several times while listening to the American anthem during the flower ceremony in the finish area, was widely praised by rivals and coaches.
"Ted is the man. He's the best in the world," Aksel Lund Svindal said. The Norwegian was second after the opening run but had only the 13th fastest time in the final run and was edged for third place by Moelgg by 0.04.
"It's not possible to beat Ted, I think," added Svindal, who won gold in downhill and bronze in super-G. "With two golds already in his pocket I bet he was fairly confident in the start."
Stephen Eberharter, the Austrian who won the 2002 Olympic GS, called Ligety's GS skiing "sensational."
"He completes these turns to perfection," Eberharter said. "He is unbelievably steady. And if he gets in trouble, he knows how to correct them immediately."
According to Alpine sport director Hans Pum of the Austrian ski federation, Ligety was "flying, not skiing. He goes from one victory to another."
"He's in very good form, he has a very good setup with the materials and he skis well," Pum said. "He got his first super-G win in the first race and then he just carried on. He's doing (whatever) he wants to."
After sunshine in the morning, grey clouds moved in and worsened visibility for the final run. In front of 35,000 visitors, Ligety increased his 1.31-second advantage over Hirscher from the first run to 1.68 before slowing down to avoid further risks.
"I wasn't easy. I took some risks but it was very difficult," Ligety said. "It was pretty dark and bumpy. I had several mistakes but I could afford them being 1.3 ahead."
Hirscher, the defending overall World Cup champion, posted the fastest time in the final run to win his second medal of the worlds after taking gold in the team event.
Hirscher hurt his lower back while GS training in nearby Haus on Thursday and had more treatment after his first run. The Austrian said he even considered skipping the race when he woke up at two in the morning.
"I wasn't sure if would make sense to race but I mobilized all energy in my body," Hirscher said. "Normally you would stay in bed. I had only had four or five hours of sleep. My neck also hurts ... it was difficult with the expectations. It was difficult to race and I am extremely happy with silver."
Hirscher was regarded as Ligety's closest challenger after beating the American in Val d'Isere, France, in December, Ligety's only loss in five World Cup giant slaloms this season. Most of the wins were by huge time differences.
"I've just had a good feeling on this hill and snow and I have high confidence," Ligety said, "so I think that helps me right now."

My part of the world. BRLVR2 uses the Torrens path a lot too.
It's a great ride, lots of really nice stretches, but bear a couple of things in mind
- it's a shared use path with prams, kids and dogs and walkers so flat-out speed epics is not the way to go
- in parts the path is pretty average, damaged or covered in debris which ranges from branches to loose leaves and sand, gravel
- you can get lost. In places it's a braided path, intertwined with the O-Bahn and directions are sometimes not in evidence. We had river terrace flooding 2 years ago and some council areas who are responsible for the paths upkeep & repair have done a less than stellar job
- the spur off to TTP comes just after the run under the Sudholtz Road bridge, and points you to the left where you get dumped onto a suburban back street or two before the path reappears. It can be infuriatingly dumb.
Thanks mate, I'm sure it can't be THAT hard. I did get lost going only 6k's down a nearly straight Rd the other morning. When you say less than stellar, is it flat bar road bike safe?
If I can find the Southern side of the Torrens and stick to it, it seems reasonably self explanatory. It looks like the link through Eighth St is the go to save a few bends and I've been to Adelaide a few times in years past and the area around the Paradise interchange looked familiar.
Any idea on timing from the city out to TTP? Normally I'd run at 25-28k's an hour without too many risks.

VG Republic Writes: Bethesda found a way last year to bring us one of the top 10 games in Dishonored yet they never laid a finger on the title other than bringing it forth to the public. The beauty of Bethesda is that they have two of the most powerful gaming franchises outside of Call of Duty, in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. There isn't a set of games on the market that offer more longevity and content than these two, for console gamers especially. They don't really have to do anything outside of focusing on these two blockbusters and they would still be one of the most successful in the business. The decision though to become a publisher of outside studio's games was rather surprising but at the same time is an easy decision as all they are required to do is to slap their name on it and watch the money roll in. How easy is that? Bethesda though showed even greater decision making when taking on a project like Dishonored as they weren't interested in pushing shovel-wear and wante...
I feel The Evil Within is also opportunistic for getting better known as a publisher in Japan. Resident Evil is very popular with Japanese gamers and no doubt quite a lot will be getting this spiritual successor.
I really hope The Evil Within succeeds commercially and critically. It'll show that their is still a market for big budget survival horror games. And prove that you don't need to change your game to have more action to make money.
Amen guys, I know I am sure wanting it to succeed and support will show that games like Silent Hill 1 and 2, Resident Evil 1,2, & 4, among some other's that we still care about these games!
This game should have a live action intro like the original resident evil :) would be awesome

Bibliobits: How Many Books?
At the coffeehouse where we drank iced tea, my husband informed me that he has seen me reading three books in two days. I informed him that I have seen him reading one book in two days.
Does it matter? Is one way of reading more serious than the other?
Well, it's true that I juggle books. I finished Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South in the car yesterday. I read a little bit of John Kennedy O'Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces in a lull. And I was reading a mystery today.
How can I explain this student-style multiple reading?
In Louise Erdrich's Shadow Tag, a short novel about a dysfunctional Native American family, the heroine, Irene America, the wife of a painter famous for his disturbing portraits of her, badly needs privacy. She writes one diary for him to find and one for herself. Even her reading style is private and independent: she reads the parts that nurture her and doesn't always finish books. And this drives her husband crazy.
Or something like that. I read this novel last year and hope I have the details right.
Although I'm not like Irene, I do read like this. I wonder: do women read serially more than men? The women bloggers I read seem to. Men seem less personal in their blogs, less revealing of their habits.
WHAT I WANT TO READ. My husband and I are sharing a copy of Patrick McGuinness's The Last Hundred Days, a Booker-longlisted novel published by a small press, Seren. Set in Bucharest in 1989, this lit thriller, according to the book jacket blurb, is about a "young English student... [who]finds dissidents, party appartchiks, black marketeers, diplomats, spies, and ordinary Romanians, all watching each other as Europe's most paranoid regime plays out its bloody endgame."
The first one to finish has to blog about it.
I also want to read Clyde Edgerton's The Night Train. I love this humorous Southern writer, enjoyed Raney and Walking across Egypt, and intend to pick up one of his others (though not necessarily the newest, because I believe I have one of his other novels around) before the end of summer.

I always have 3-4 going at one time, but if one falls too far behind in the rotation, I tend to spend a marathon afternoon and finish it up in one or two sittings. It has only been in the last year or so that I have given myself permission to not finish a book if it's truly not grabbing me on any level.
- Frisbee said...
I do those marathon afternoons, too!
I love to finish books, but occasionally have to give up. Yes, we have to give ourselves permission.
- Ellen said...
I do multiple reading. It's having more than one friend at a time. I have more company this way, and the books connect back and forth (in my mind) with one another sometimes.
- Frisbee said...
That's such a great way to put it: books as friends. I do feel that way about it.
- Buried In Print said...
Student-style. That's an interesting way to think of it. But I've been reading like this since I was a student young enough to NOT have homework or reading to do. As long as I can remember, actually. I do understand why it doesn't work for everybody -- and on rare occasions I've done the one-book-at-a-time thing -- but it doesn't come to me naturally!
- Frisbee said...
I love the multiple reading, too. I don't know quite when I started it, but I date it to my university days.

This struck me funny this morning as I was contemplating -lost in thought. Even the question itself, "Does God exist?", is bizarre.
My girls will watch a questionably scary movie and immediately be wary of the dark rooms in our house. I have several rational arguments to belay, to ease their worries. Arguments that allow me to run through creepy old houses in the dark no-problem. Here's 2 examples...
Me stating rationally: There were no monsters or killers hiding in our house before we turned off the lights (or ever in our house), and there's definitely none a split second after we turn the lights off.
and this one...
Me: You know there's no monsters right?
Daughter: How do you know dad?
Me: Because you NEVER, EVER, see them in the news. If monsters existed at all, there would be a news story about it "A child was chased by a monster today -news at 11". But there's NEVER been any news stories about a monster. The only real monsters in this world -are people. (this argument can also PROVE santa clause)
This second example is what catches me today. There is ZERO evidence in the world that someone can point to and say "SEE! It's true!". There's no giant thumbprint on the moon. There's no story of how Jesus showed up a Timmy's baseball game to help his team...
If there were evidence, we would have seen it. There would be a news story about it. We would ALL, already, be believers. It would have already sorted itself out long ago if it were really true.
That makes the whole question "Is there a God?", stupid. "Do you see one?"
Views: 145
Fantastic, I never really thought about it quite that way, but now I have a much better course of action when it comes to trying to explain to younger people the fallacies of religion. Thanks.
That's funny Kalliope! One wonders why it's never world wide news, proof of the supernatural. There has to be a giant conspiracy among the rational people and scientists. -They must want to squash it. Hahaha, a superstitious line has been drawn.

About Us
Welcome to the College of Engineering's Cooperative Education & Internship Program
The Cooperative Education and Internship Program (CEIP) is a highly successful approach that combines classroom education with workplace learning. The program places students on the road to a rewarding future as they learn, earn money, and gain hands-on experience. The CEIP is the ultimate educational partnership because it creates a true win-win-win-win (WIN4) situation with advantages that should be seriously considered.
Firstly, participating students win because they get to test-drive their chosen careers. They gain first-hand experience that improves their opportunities for post graduation employment. Because of their professional experience, they can expect a higher starting salary.
Secondly, parents win because their child "earns while he/she learns," which helps defray the cost of a quality education. The CEIP provides motivation for students to complete their education and that's important!
The synergy between classroom learning and workplace learning better prepares students for future careers in the 21st century.
Thirdly, employers win because participating students fill important roles in technology by bringing fresh outlooks and enthusiasm to the workplace. Students' creative problem-solving skills are a source of innovation and their suggestions often lead to significant technical contributions.
Finally, the College of Engineering wins because students enhance the College's reputation by their contributions and professionalism in the hi-tech community.
Prospective participants may ask, "Is Coop/Internship right for me?" Consider that in today's technical workplace, a degree only gets an individual to the starting line. Employers will select and pay more for experienced candidates. The CEIP gives students the confidence and experience to make valuable contributions alongside senior engineers and scientists. In addition, the CEIP trains its participants in teamwork, which is an increasingly vital aspect of today's workplace.
The CEIP is a fantastic learning journey that helps students appreciate lifelong learning, set goals and design their futures.

In GXT 2, I used CheckBoxGroup to group many CheckBoxes in one field and had a custom validator to check that at least of the checkboxes is checked.
CheckBoxGroup is not in GXT 3, how do I do the same? I studied FieldLabel, AbstractValidator, CheckBox documents, but can't find a concrete example to help me put them together. Appreciated if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I need a long-term perspective check.
I'm pretty sure this is one of those parenting moments when it would be best for me to chill out and trust the strong bond between myself and my son. He's two years old now, and still nursing happily. He's also a toddler who's working on his two year molars off and on, which means that his appetite is erratic but generally on an upward trend.
My in-laws are not happy that he's still nursing. Even though I've explained how happy our pediatrician is that DS still nurses, especially when he had pneumonia last month and wouldn't eat anything.
In the car this morning, they sat in the back while we got burgers for everyone. DS exclaimed, "Burger!" They started saying things to DS like, "But you don't get a burger; you still drink milk. You're not a baby anymore, you don't drink milk anymore. You need to learn to eat. Big boys don't drink milk anymore."
Obviously, steam erupted from my ears. DH was oblivious (fiddling with his phone) and didn't hear them. I said nothing, thinking that this might be a moment for me to let it roll off my back.
So... That was probably a wise decision, right? I educate when I can (like when my MIL asked me at 9 months, "So, your milk goes bad after a while, right?"), but I don't want to make it a fighting ground. Especially when I'm the mom and I get to decide, ultimately.
I just hate that they tried to shame him about it. Ughhhhhh.
Thanks for your wisdom, Mamas.

Mini-FAQ about this page:
Q: What is an __open__ VoIP phone number?
A: __Open__ means that you can call that number from a proxy that is NOT a business partner. For example, you can only reach *747-1-747-474-5000 (SIPphone welcome message) from adapters registered to SIPphone or [http://sipphone.com/numbers|one of SIPphone's peering partners], so that number is NOT fully open to incoming SIP calls from outside SIP clients.

Francis Wolff
Hank MobleyAbout this photograph
In the fifties and sixties, Hank Mobley was one of the saxophonists who recorded the most for the Blue Note label. This saxophonist who was born in 1930, began his career in the ?50s and played a subtle and melodic hard bop style. He is less well-known than other tenor saxophonists like Coltrane, Rollins, Getz or Dexter Gordon, but he was nevertheless very successful in the ?60s.Read more Read less

Francis Wolff was born in Berlin in 1907. He met Alfred Lion when he was 15 years old and already a jazz and photography enthusiast. Their shared love for this new music cemented their friendship. In 1933, Lion emigrated to American soils. Wolf pursued a brilliant career as a photographer and collected records in spite of the Third Reich's rise to power. In 1939, he had to face facts and escape Nazi Germany. He reached New York in October. He moved into Alfred Lion's apartment. This place had also been the head office of a brand new jazz label 'Blue note' for about ten months. Wolff worked retouching in a photography studio in the daytime and in the evening was devoted to managing the label. The label developed and soon Wolff devoted all his time to it. He did however take his camera to each recording session for 28 years. He therefore photographed an important part of the history of jazz and its legends.In 1951, with the advent of the LP, and the imminent importance of record covers, the photographs taken by Francis Wolff became primordial for Blue Note. In 1967, Alfred Lion retired and Wolff took over the role of producer. He had to relinquish his photography. He remained at the helm of Blue Note until his death in 1971.

Nobody likes to wait. When people want something, they want it now. This is never more true than when the object in question is a sexy new product, one that has been the subject of mouthwatering, tantalizing ad campaigns, such as those frequently used for new cars.
New cars debut at auto shows well in advance of their street dates, giving enthusiasts months, sometimes years, to salivate over photos and to fantasize about when they can drive one off the lot. Needless to say, the longer the waiting period, the more desirable these cars become.
What follows is a list of 10 upcoming cars that you can't buy yet, provided by Karl Brauer, CEO and editor-in-chief of TotalCarScore.com, an online review aggregator and information resource for cars on the market. According to Brauer, these cars will be worth the wait. In some cases, the cars are slated for release so far in the future that pictures don't yet exist, so we used the latest models available in those cases.
Read ahead and see which cars made TotalCarScore.com's list of cars you have to wait for.
