Colour Vision ridden by Frankie Dettori wins Gold Cup at Royal Ascot
Thursday 21 June 2012
Related articles
Colour Vision and Frankie Dettori survived a stewards' inquiry as they
held off fellow Godolphin runner Opinion Poll to take top honours in the
Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
The Italian rider had to choose between the pair earlier this week and many saw it as a surprise when he sided with Saeed bin Suroor's Colour Vision over the more established Opinion Poll.
Dettori settled the 6-1 chance on the heels of the leaders for much of the two-and-a-half-mile journey and quickened up well in the straight to take the lead.
Opinion Poll came from further back with a big challenge under Mickael Barzalona, but former Mark Johnston inmate Colour Vision held on by half a length.
The front two did come close together, but although the stewards immediately called an inquiry, the placings remained unaltered.
The hot favourite for the Group One feature was last year's winner Fame And Glory.
But while Aidan O'Brien's odds-on shot travelled nicely into the straight, he could not pick up from further back and was ultimately well beaten.
Formerly with Mark Johnston, Colour Vision had made an impressive debut for Bin Suroor in the rearranged Sagaro Stakes on the all-weather at Kempton, and Dettori clearly felt he was open to more progress than Opinion Poll, who was second in the race 12 months ago.
A further neck away from the Godolphin duo in third was the John Oxx-trained Saddler's Rock.
Like the winner, he ran an excellent race for a four-year-old, especially considering how hard he pulled in the early stages.
Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Godolphin operation, was delighted to claim a one-two.
He said: "Whatever happened, they are two very good horses that finished first and second and that's a good thing.
"You have to wait a year to prepare your horse to come here and even the second horse ran a great race."
Of Dettori and Barzalona, he said: "They are two good jockeys. Frankie is great and Mikael is coming up this year."
Dettori, who has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks with the big rides now shared around the Godolphin team, was delighted to get a big-race win on the board.
He said: "It was great. This was my best chance of the week.
"I had to make a very hard decision (to ride Colour Vision over Opinion Poll. They are both great horses and warriors and I finished up the best, but only by a short margin.
"I'm delighted for the team and myself as well. It's been a very hard week and I'm glad this one came up.
"It was great, we have a great team, and first and second is a great result."
Much has been made of Barzalona's rise to prominence with Godolphin.
However, Dettori insisted there was no extra joy in beating his fellow Godolphin rider in the finish.
"It's always enjoyable winning," he said.
"Me and Mickael are good friends but when you are out there, you are by yourself and you want to win for yourself. It doesn't matter who is in the finish, you always try to win."
Asked if he felt the victory re-established his seniority within the Godolphin riding ranks, Dettori said with a smile: "No. We'll have to prove it in the next one - you only remember the last one."
When asked if he had read any of the speculation about Dettori, Sheikh Mohammed said: "I don't care, I have my own ideas.
"I know how good Frankie is and we do need more than one jockey for Godolphin."
Now a five-time Gold Cup-winning trainer, Bin Suroor last won the race with Papineau in 2004 and was thrilled to claim the prize again, particularly with Dettori in the saddle.
Bin Suroor said: "After Frankie rode the horse last time, he knew it would be hard to choose between the two but when he picked our horse, he thought he'd picked the best one.
"He's improving all the time.
"I've won the Gold Cup before but it's very special to win it again.
"We know now that he can run in all the best staying races and it's great to see Frankie winning it again."
Al Zarooni said of Opinion Poll: "He ran very well, no excuses today. They are two nice horses, it doesn't matter as we are one team. As for future plans we will see what Simon (Crisford, racing manager) and Sheikh Mohammed want to do."
Oxx said of Saddler's Rock: "The race was a bit of farce for him, unfortunately, as they went too slow early on, which meant he pulled for the first mile or so and then it was a sprint for the last mile and he couldn't quicken on the soft ground.
"He got a bit unbalanced, Johnny (Murtagh) said, and he was struggling, but then he finally got going when it was too late.
"There are a lot of options for him, probably starting off with the Goodwood Cup, and we'll look at similar races.
"He needs good to firm ground and a good pace to be at his best, but unfortunately we haven't got a pacemaker."
Johnston, whose Gulf Of Naples cut out much of the early running before finishing fourth, said: "Gulf Of Naples ran a fantastic race.
"I said a year ago that horse (Colour Vision) would win the Gold Cup and he has done."

What is a school counselor?Parents, the press, administrators and the general public often wonder just what it is that school counselors do on a daily basis. Gone are the days of school counselors sitting in their office simply handing out college applications, making schedule changes for students who want to drop a class or meeting with the troublemakers in the school. Today's school counselors are vital members of the education team. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.

Chain Effect: Top Picks at BagBliss
Chains are back and they are better than ever! Well, that is, where handbags are concerned anyway. To be honest, I have always had a soft spot for bags with a chain strap. But what's hot right now are chain details located elsewhere on a bag, not just as a strap. And when it comes to chains on handbags, I personally prefer something that isn't too dainty. But I don't want anything too heavy either. Why so picky? It's simple! I don't want to feel like I'm going to break it! However, I also don't want a chain that is so big and heavy that it feels like I'm carrying around shackles! Yep, I'm a medium-sized chain gal all the way. But what I think is so neat about the so-called chain "trend" is that it can involve any kind of chain, big or small. So there is literally something out there for everyone. So without further ado… I present to you our top picks for chain-detailed handbags!
1. Marc Jacobs Stardust Cecillia Studded Satchel
Chain details that have nothing to do with a handbag's strap may be hot, but no one can argue the feeling a chunky chain strap can give you. The Cecillia is such a gorgeous bag, with its studs and quilted leather. Heck, the chain strap is just icing on the cake!
Currently available here at Nordstrom!
2. Chloe Kira Chain Satchel
Wow, a chain border accenting an otherwise simple satchel. Who would have thunk it? This handbag is perfect for a person wishing for a neutral style with just a hint of uniqueness.
Check it out here at Saks.com!
3. Yves Saint Laurent Nappa Leather Clutch
What an interesting look! Here we have a clutch with a not-so-dainty chain accenting the front and sides. This clutch would definitely add some spunk to your look!
Find it here at NET-A-PORTER.COM!
The Chat: chain effect!

Fort Lee Candlelight Vigil For Newtown, Police Chief Swearing In This Week

The Fort Lee Board of Education late last week cancelled its regular business meeting originally scheduled for Monday evening, but those who were planning to attend may want to consider heading over to Monument Park instead. There, organizers say, a candlelight vigil is planned for the victims, families and community members of Newtown, Conn., where the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history occurred Friday, resulting in the deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Fort Lee vigil is planned as a "gathering to give and receive comfort in light of the Newtown shooting," providing residents of all faiths—or none, organizers emphasize—an opportunity to "share with neighbors," pray or simply be silent…

Eagles Power Past Wofford, 4-2
STATESBORO, Ga. - Despite some late drama, Georgia Southern took a thrilling 4-2 win over Wofford on Friday afternoon at Eagle Field. The Eagles led 2-0 at half, but a pair of Terrier goals and a GSU red card put the result in doubt late. Georgia Southern responded with two goals in the final 10 minutes to earn the win and improve to 7-4-1 overall and 3-1-0 in the SoCon to solidify first place going into the weekend.
"I thought we showed a tremendous amount of resiliency to come back from being a man down late," said Head Coach Kevin Kennedy. "Luigi has been a terrific leader for us, he has a lot of fight in him and that really leads our team forward. I'm delighted to have nine points from four matches, but we really need to work on shoring up our defense in matches."
Georgia Southern struck first in the 12th minute with Luigi Clendening's (Augusta, Ga.) 10th goal of the season. The Eagle striker got on the end of a cross from Ethan LaPan (Martinez, Ga.). The duo combined for a goal for the third time this season.
The Eagles doubled the advantage just before the halftime break on a goal by Ado Jununzovic (Lawrenceville, Ga.) off a free kick by Drew Ruggles (Manassas, Va.). The free kick into the box got a back-heel assist by Trent Doty (Statesboro, Ga.).
Just after the halftime break, Wofford's (3-7-1, 0-3-0 SoCon) Alex Hutchins scored a loose ball in the box. He was assisted on the play by Chase West and Forrest Lasso, who knocked the ball around in the area with 42 minutes remaining in the match.
The Eagles were reduced to 10-men in the 63rd minute when Nick Lane (Suwanee, Ga.) picked up a red card.
Wofford leveled the match at 2-2 in the 77th minute with a goal by Dennis Moore. The Terrier striker got on the end of a loose rebound of a shot by Bryant Eddy.
An incredible run down the right flank of the Terriers by LaPan in the 81st minute allowed the sophomore to score his second goal for the season. The goal would prove to be the game-winning goal.
Clendening put the icing on the cake in the match's final minute with his 11th goal of the season by dispossessing the Wofford goalkeeper and coolly scoring in the empty net. His 11th goal of the season puts him in second place national for total goals this season and leaves him four shy of the single-season school record for goals in a season.
Goalkeeper Ryan Platt (Preston, England) was stellar again in goal for the Eagles, posting nine saves for his sixth with of the season between the pipes.
Georgia Southern travels for a match against ACC power, NC State, on Tuesday, October 11th, at 7 p.m. Last season, Georgia Southern nearly sprang the upset before falling, 3-2 at Dail Stadium. The Eagles have one victory over the Wolfpack, a 2-1 triumph in 2002.

Luu passed away June 10, 2005, from cancer. Meyer, with alittle help from his friends, continued to stage the fest to keep Luu'smemory alive and to raise awareness—and funds—for a good cause. Allproceeds from the event are donated to the American Cancer Society andthe Golisano Children's Hospital.
"Last year, we raised about $4,500 and the year before weraised just over $400," noted Meyer. "It's really taken off from oneyear to the next and some people who aren't into these types of moviesstill came because of the reason behind it."
The morning run/walk is new this year.Registration begins at 8 a.m. at the St. Matthew/St. Daniel School, 214Kinne St., East Syracuse, with runners and skateboarders charged a $15entry fee. Registration for zombies begins at 8:30 a.m. for a $10 levy.The run starts at 9 a.m., the boarders let loose at 9:15 a.m., and bothstart and finish at the school.
Zombie zoo: Beware the ghouls (fromleft) Thomas "Dead" Duffy, Andy Bielak, Jenocide and Joe Mangipano thatwill invade the Palace during Saturday's Shaun Luu Horror Fest. Thanksto Collin Major of CR Major FX for the gruesome makeup. Michael Davis photo.
Come 9:30 a.m., however, it's "Morningof the Living Dead." Anyone wanting to reanimate themselves isencouraged to find inspiration from the wardrobe in any George A.Romero flick and cake on decomposed makeup while dressing in yourbloody best. Or, if you're lacking the supplies to disguise yourself inzombie vanity, three effects artists will be on hand to applyliving-dead makeup beforehand for a small donation. The zombie walkstarts at the school and finishes at the East Syracuse Village Hall,204 N. Center St.
Because of the horror-show nature of the walk, organizerJeff Meyer, who doubles as the IMAX projectionist at the Museum ofScience and Technology, didn't want senior citizens that live on theroute getting frightened by the procession to the point where theyunintentionally join it. "I met with the mayor of East Syracuse andwith the fire and police departments," said Meyer. "We decided that thebest thing to do is to drop fliers off at all the houses on the routeto let them know what's going on so they're not caught off-guard."
Prizes will be handed out forbest-looking zombie, makeup and most original shamble, while the toprunners receive a $25 gift certificate to Fleet Feet; the top skatersreceive gift certificates to Black Mamba Skateboards in Mattydale. Theruns and walks are scheduled to wrap at noon, whereupon festivitieswill move to Eastwood's Palace Theatre, 2384 James St., for livehardcore rock'n'roll with four bands starting at 1 p.m.
Local acts Cicada and Architect, the latter featuringmembers of Luu's old band, will perform. So will A Storm of Light fromNew York City and The Red Chord out of Boston, who played the firstShaun Luu Fest in 2005. All groups will have cult cinema (including thezombie cartoon City of Rott) projected on the Palace's screen while jamming, which Meyer promised to be a "trippy experience."
The musical mayhem will finish around 5 p.m. and theall-night blowout of five macabre motion pictures commences at 7 p.m.(See Bill DeLapp's preview on page 22.) "There's never been an eventthat's involved music and movies on top of a zombie walk, plus a runand skateboards in the Northeast," said Meyer. "Shaun loved zombies andwe wanted to make this the biggest event of its kind in honor of him.
"Last year there was a reunion show of Shaun's old band,Word is a Virus," Meyer continued. "But it was an instrumentalperformance because Shaun was the lead singer of the band and they leftthe microphone open out of respect for him."
Admission is $10 for the music, $10 for an all-inclusivemovie pass, or, $15 for the whole shebang. Meyer estimated the festwon't end until well past 3 a.m.
"With bands coming in from Boston and New York City, andfilms you will hardly see anywhere else on 35mm film in this country,the magnitude of this event is pretty far-reaching," Meyer said."People from Ohio, Iowa, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and even Florida aretraveling in for the event."
Last year, 450 people attended and Meyer said if they canmaintain or exceed those numbers, the main priorities of this fest willbe within reach. An official Shaun Luu Cancer Research Account wasestablished at the hospital, under construction atop UniversityHospital. "If we can raise $10,000, we'll get a nurses' stationdedicated with a plaque in memory of Shaun at the hospital," saidMeyer.

Bobby Fong is the president of Butler. National guides give Butler high marks for academic quality with an emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences. Butler ranks 4th in the US News & World Report's America's Best Colleges 2008 for Top Midwestern Master's Universities. [1] The university emphasizes practicality of knowledge. Butler University offers individual attention to its students with its small class size and no teaching assistants. Butler University has increased its focus on research with the Butler Summer Institute, a 10 week program where Butler students are granted funding to perform independent research with a faculty member. Butler's tuition, room and board total $36,440 annually.
From 1950 until 1993 Butler University owned and operated, what was at one point, the largest student-run radio station, WAJC. WAJC (905 FM) is a Radio station broadcasting a Contemporary Christian format It had a classical format, and existed on 91. 9fm, then moved to 104. 5fm in 1956. In 1993 Butler sold the station and used part of the seven million dollars earned through the sale to upgrade the Telecommunications major and improve a donated building on Illinois Street to support the program. The School started WTBU, a PBS affiliate, on channel 69. WTBU (640 AM 893 FM is a student-run Part 15 radio station at Boston University. The Public Broadcasting Service ( PBS) is a Non-profit Public broadcasting Television service with 354 member TV stations in the Though Butler has schools for dance, music, and theater, it never developed or showed its own original content on channel 69. After competing for years with WFYI for PBS audiences, in 1999 then president Geoffrey Bannister then signed agreement to operate under a joint operating agreement, which eventually saw WFYI absorb control of the station, leaving Butler to run the academics. WFYI channel 20 is the local PBS member station for Indianapolis Indiana, United States and surrounding areas since it first signed on October 4 WFYI channel 20 is the local PBS member station for Indianapolis Indiana, United States and surrounding areas since it first signed on October 4 In 2001 New Butler President Bobby Fong opened the Telecommunications building on Butler's campus, and almost simultaneously announced the sale of the traditional broadcast station to Telemundo, moving WTBU to a cable-based campus-only broadcaster. Telemundo is an American television network based in Hialeah Florida a suburb of Miami Florida.

An airship is a lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air.Airships are also known as dirigibles from the French dirigeable, meaning "steerable". The term airship is sometimes informally used more generally to mean a machine capable of atmospheric flight. Likewise, the term dirigible is sometimes used informally to refer only to rigid airships (see below.)
In contrast to airships, balloons move through the sky by being carried along with the wind.
Airships are typically filled with either helium or hydrogen. Some airships are filled with hot air in a fashion similar to a hot air balloon.
Table of contents |
2 History 3 External links |
Although some balloons with limited mobility flew in the 19th century,
the first successful airships were built by Alberto Santos-Dumont in
Paris around 1900. Santos-Dumont's machines typically consisted of a long, non-rigid gas envelope beneath which was hung a truss to which the engine and pilot's seat were attached.
The most successful airships were the rigid Zeppelin type, so named after the pioneer Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (born in Konstanz, Baden, Germany April 8, 1838 - died March 8, 1917). Von Zeppelin began experimenting with rigid airships before World War I. He had, by the time war broke out, given them a standard and highly efficient layout: an essentially cylindrical metal-framed and fabric-covered hull, large tail fins for stability, and streamlned engine and crew pods hung beneath the hull.
The prospect of using airships as bomb carriers had been recognized in Europe well before airships themselves were up to the task. H. G, Wells described the obliteration of entire fleets and cities by airship attack in The War in the Air (1908), and scores of less famous British writers declaed in print that the airhsip had altered the face of world affairs forever. On March 5, 1912 Italian forces became the first to use dirigibles for a military purpose during reconnaissance west of Tripoli behind Turkish lines. It was World War I, however, that marked the airship's real debut as a weapon.
Germany believed it had found, in the zeppelin, the ideal weapon with which to bypass the British Navy and strike at Britain itself. Raids began by the end of 1914, reached a first peak in 1915, and then were discontinued until 1917. Zeppelins proved to be terrifying but inaccurate weapons. Navigation, target selection and bomb-aiming proved to be difficult under the best of conditions, and the darkness and clouds that frequently accompanied zeppelin missions reduced accuracy even further. The physical damage done by the zeppelins over the course of the war was trivial, and the deaths that they caused (though tragic) amounted to a few hundred at most. The zeppelins also proved to be vulnerable to attack by aircraft and antiaircraft guns. Several were shot down in flames by British defenders, and others crashed 'en route'
Types of Airships
Airplanes had essentially replaced airships as bombers by the end of the war,and Germany's remaining zeppelins had been scrapped or handed over to the Allied powers as spoils of war. One such prize, the British dirigible R-34, landed in New York on July 6, 1919, completing the first crossing of the Atlantic by an airship and the first nonstop crossing by any aircraft. Impressed, British leaders began to contemplate a fleet of airships that would link Britain to its far-flung colonies. The success of another prize, the Los Angeles, encouraged the United States Navy to invest in airships of its own. Germany, meanwhile, was building the Graf Zeppelin, the first of what was intended to be a new class of passenger airships.
Initially airships met with great success and compiled an impressive safety record. The Graf Zeppelin, for example, flew over 1 million miles (including the first circumnavigation of the globe by air) without a single passenger injury. The expansion of airship fleets and the growing (sometimes excessive) self-confidence of airship pilots gradually made the limits of the type clear, however, and initial successes gave way to a series of tragic rigid airship accidents.
The U.S. Navy eventually lost all three of its American built airships: Shenandoah in 1925 and Akron and Macon in the early 1930s. All three ships crashed--two with great loss of life--when their structural elements failed in severe storm-related turbulence. Britain suffered its own airship tragedy in the 1930s when the R-101, a fatally flawed machine barely able to lift its own weight, crashed in France with the loss of all aboard.
The most spectacular and widely remembered airship accidence, however, is the explosion of the Hindenburg [see: Hindenburg disaster ] on 6 May 1937, which caused public faith in airships to evaporate in favour of faster, more cost-efficient (albeit less energy-efficient) airplanes.
Although airships abandoned carrying passengers, they continued to be used for other purposes. In particular, the US Navy built hundreds of blimps for use in World War II. The most successful application of these airships was for convoy escort near the US coastline. During the war some 532 ships were sunk near the coast by submarines. In contrast, none of the 89,000 or so ships escorted by blimps was lost to enemy fire.
Blimps continue to be used for advertising and as TV camera platforms at major sporting events.
Recently, several companies are again exploring the possibilities of airships
with their potentially huge lifting capacities, near-VTOL capabilities, and potentially lower freight costs, though none has demonstrated the economic viability yet.

Fort Stanton Inc., a non-profit organization of volunteers, has been so busy promoting the fort's history that it has not always recorded its own organizational past. While most residents and over 7,000 tourists in 2011 now know much more about the fort founded in 1855, few recognize the contributions, successes, and cumulative impact of FSI since its founding.
In 1994 Sally Burkstaller of Roswell founded the organization. One of the smartest moves they made was to create a newsletter informing the public of the fact that the fort was not protected and preserved even though the state had owned the fort since the early 1950s. FSI also founded KEDU radio station with the same goal in mind.
In 1998 the group held the Fort Fete, a social event raising awareness. At that time according to Burkstaller, "We did not have ANY access to the fort proper and could only look down at the grounds. Later, we got permission to use the historic quadrangle for ONE day a year but we had to pay to send the prisoners on a one day picnic so the people who wanted to see the historic place could actually step onto the grounds."
In 2001 FSI founded a museum at the little building previously known as the Recreation Center. Volunteers drove out to the fort and sat in a chilly building so they could promote fort history. Trink Edmonds was among dozens of volunteers. There the museum offered a view into a Mescalero deer skin dress, hand-carved soldiers by Jake Ross, WPA watercolor paintings,
FSI acted as the defacto spokesperson for the future of the fort. In 2003 the state decided to create a Fort Stanton Development Commission (FSDC) to determine its future. The state was slow to include FSI members and advocates but did so eventually.
In 2005 FSI created "Fort Stanton Live," a re-enactment event to promote the fort's 19th century past. Tony and Nisha Hoffman were the force behind this effort. Re-enactors came onto the scene as did 19th century women in costume. The New Mexico Humanities Council funded Chautauqua impersonators Governor Lew Wallace, Hispanic Major Rafael Chacon, and military wife Lydia Lane to explain their historic roles to visitors.
In 2005 the fort celebrated its 150th anniversary and I spearheaded a commemorative event. Conference attendants learned about how the fort nearly decimated the Mescalero populace and how it took about a century for the Mescalero to replace their original numbers. We also learned about soldiers, outlaws, African American women laundresses, architecture, and whiskey. And since the fort became a tuberculosis hospital we learned of nurses, doctors, and patients who included Navajos.
In 2007 FSI partnered with Cornerstones, a historic preservation organization, to restore the stables. Not only were the stables key to the fort's military days, they were also part of an immense ranch that made the fort a little more self-sufficient during the fort's second career as a hospital from 1897 to 1953.
Also in 2007 FSI worked to prevent extreme residential/commercial development. FSI believes in finding ways to make the fort self-sustaining or profitable but this plan would have dangered the historic character of the complex.
That same year Dr. Earl Pittman, "retired" professional historian, generously gave his time to write a grant for the "Save America's Treasures" funds. He did not earn a cent. However, he was successful and obtained over $1 million to have the fort administration building restored.
In 2007 FSDC made the fort a state monument. Since then the fort has been controlled by the state's Department of Cultural Affairs. Unfortunately, no staff or monies came with this designation. Still, the public now has much better access to viewing fort grounds.
Around 2008 Fort Stanton cavers found a new cave, Snowy River. Senator Pete Domenici made helped pass legislation to name it a national treasure.
In 2009 FSI volunteers Joseph Acure, professional photographer and Carolyn Acure, producer, created a twelve minute video "Fort Stanton: History of a New Mexico Cavalry Post" with all proceeds going to FSI. It has educated the public and can still be purchased at the ENMU Ruidoso bookstore.
In 2009 FSI volunteers enrolled in ENMU Ruidoso "Fort Stanton History" class to learn more about the fort. That same year FSI worked with the Hubbard Museum of the American West to create an exhibit about the fort. The Hubbard later donated that exhibit to the new museum.
In 2009 FSI opened the new and better museum in the Junior Officers' Quarters/Hospital Administration Bldg., possible because of the Save America's Treasure funds.
This year 2012 marks another upcoming Fort Stanton Live event slated for July 13 and 14. While we have a national treasure in our midst, our state government is in charge and funds designated for Lincoln county have been few. There we can honor our military heritage and support one of our major tourist attractions. Locals and tourists alike will find fun and entertaining events at Live. After 18 years of volunteer work, Fort Stanton Inc. deserves our support. For more information visit FortStanton.org.

When it comes to serving freshly brewed coffee in a commercial setting, one key dilemma has continually arisen. How can a commercial, high volume coffee shop make quick, fresh coffee without sacrificing quality? The solution has been either (1) to slightly sacrifice quality by making a large amount of drip coffee every hour or so, or (2) to preserve quality but to slow down production and possibly lose a potential profit with single-cup brewing (V60, Chemex, French Press, etc.). The brewing process that the Bunn Trifecta is built upon could be the answer to this significant dilemma.
The Trifecta has been anxiously awaited by the coffee community since Starbucks bought the rights to the Clover brewing system and took it off the market. At a fraction of the price of the Clover, the Trifecta could be the next-generation coffee system. The process is incredibly simple and efficient without sacrificing quality. It can be compared to a Syphon Brewer in its use of total immersion, constant temperature, and agitation of the grounds.
First, the hot water completely saturates the freshly ground beans resulting in a French Press like immersion. This takes advantage of the total extraction of beans that can only take place in full immersion brewing systems.
Second, Air is injected into the pressurized chamber which agitates the grounds. This further enhances extraction by exciting the grounds and water as they interact with each other.
Third, at just the right time (before over-extraction can take place), the pressurized air presses the coffee through a metal filter into the waiting cup. Similar to the Aeropress, this added pressure further enhances the extraction process and ensures a full-bodied flavor in the coffee.

Small, lightweight, and portable, the Skerton is the ideal hand grinder for the traveling coffee enthusiast, or the home enthusiast on a limited budget. The Skerton employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today's coffee market. It can easily handle anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. The Skerton's detachable 100 gr. glass jar is perfect for collecting the grounds, and in combination with the plastic screw-on lid (included in order) can even double as a storage unit for whole beans on those long trips. After grinding is finished, cleaning the Skerton is as easy as placing the unit in the dishwasher since the entire grinder is dishwasher safe. Whether you desire a quality, handy grinder for the road or enjoy the fine art of manual coffee preparation, the Hario Skerton is the ideal candidate. For an even more portable hand grinder from Hario, check out the Mini Mill (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill).
As the interest in specialty coffee continues to increase, so does the interest in brewing methods that best compliment the quality and ideals of specialty coffee. Up until this point there have been limited options when it comes to pour over brewing devices that offer both a small learning curve as well as excellent results. Garnering praise for both their calculated design and ease of use, the Kalita line of pour over brewers are helping that small list of brewers grow. The Kalita Wave Dripper is being offered in both small (1-2 people) and large (1-4 people). The small size is offered in both glass and stainless steel while the large size is offered in glass, stainless steel, and ceramic. For an overview of the unique style the Kalita Wave Dripper brings to the pour over method, a feature chart that overviews the design, technique, and advantage can be found below.

Don't Wait for a Principal Reduction on Your Home
But one of the biggest obstacles is concern over unintended consequences. If it becomes clear that part of the debt can be forgiven, more homeowners may fall behind intentionally to qualify, making the overall problem bigger than it was.
Also, opponents charge that principal reduction amounts to a "free lunch" that rewards deadbeats. Forgiveness can be seen as unfair to homeowners who keep up with payments, unfair to investors in mortgage securities, unfair to lenders' stockholders. It also can be seen as unfair to taxpayers, as the lenders have shown they won't go along with principal reduction without generous tax-supported financial incentives.
Bottom line: Principal reduction is not a new idea, and it hasn't become widespread for many reasons. Some lenders will reduce debts in some cases, and the underwater homeowner has nothing to lose by broaching the subject with the loan servicing company. But if the answer is no, don't hold your breath waiting for an industry or government program to bail you out.
Existing programs, like the government's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), generally focus on making monthly payments more affordable, in many cases by reducing the interest rate. That makes the burden easier to bear but leaves the borrower underwater.
Most underwater homeowners therefore have only three choices. You can keep making payments in hopes that the housing market will rebound, driving your home's value back up. You can accept the fact that your home is a money-losing investment, but keep paying because it's where you want to live. Or you can stop making payments and let the lender take the property back, recognizing you'll have to rent for a number of years while striving to rebuild your credit.
In most cases, it's probably best to choose an option sooner rather than later, getting the crisis behind you as soon as possible. Waiting for a bailout is betting on a long-shot.

Lustig named Firefighter of the Year
Published Friday, April 6, 2012
Firefighter of the Year James Lustig (left) and Fire Chief Robert Wilcox (right)
Firefighter/Paramedic James Lustig has been a career member of the Park Forest Fire Department since July 15, 1984.
Over his 29 years of service to the Village, Fire/Medic Lustig has proven to be an excellent firefighter who remains extremely calm under pressure and has shown the ability to think very quickly on his feet. Because of his seniority and standing on the Lieutenants eligibility list, Jim serves as second in command on Gold Shift.
Fire/Medic Lustig understands the great responsibility that comes with being in-charge and appreciates the safety of his shift and the general public is hinged on the decisions he will make that day. Jim understands that safety lies in the little things we do or our attention to detail and as a result takes extra time to be sure the smallest details are addressed.
His quiet demeanor keeps those working under him at ease and he can often be found mentoring and training our newest Fire/Medics, especially on street and address location familiarization.
Fire/Medic Lustig, a painter on his days off, is always one of the first to step up and take on new projects either around the station or on more global department initiatives. His maintenance efforts on our facilities have unquestionably provided significant monetary savings for the Village. But equally notable have been his contributions to the Mapping Project where he and Fire/Medic Carolyn Gray have taken the lead in this critically important project which was assigned to Gold Shift.
Fire/Medic Lustig is a multi-award recipient of the Departments Meritorious Unit Commendation which is reflective of his overall commitment to the Department and his professionalism exhibited daily is in keeping with the highest traditions of the Fire Service and for these reasons Firefighter/Paramedic James Lustig was selected as Firefighter of the Year.

So, ... wow, both this guy and CR carry 3 pda's around - boy, technology has really simplified lives. What a great step forward for mankind (uhhh, scuse me, personkind). So, I don't get that at all ... for me the whole idea is to streamline and simplify - an iPhone to surf. why not use it as a telephone? the sound quality isn't all that bad. So, my God, carrying around 3 gadgets all the time - refresh thy pocket protector please!
Regarding LinkIn ... I guess it's what you put into it really but so far I have found it to be of pretty limited use. I'm not sure it's destined for long-term changing of the world with all due respect. So, like the gentlemen said, so, everybody gets lucky.

clearly my post below could use an edit or three. Anyways, my point stands. I understand a lot of private companies fund this program too, like Coca Cola and other. But I still think this point has merit. Your content is alienating me and I've been a fan since I was 15 (now 23)! Let's get some wider representation.
laurainmontreal 03/09/2009 10:16 PM Report
I have two problems with this interview. One: Charlie, in this time of economic hardship is it really appropriate to be chummy-chummy with a millionaire about how "necessary" it is to carry around an iphone, blackberry, and a cell phone? I make a modest income and I can't afford to carry all three. I wonder how the imagined unemployed person who would be interested in Linkedin to find a new job would feel hearing you two brag about your gadgets? This is a publically-funded program, let's try to have some restraint before talking about what Porsche is the best model to buy this year.
Second, going back to the point about a foundation and public funding for your program. Why not ask this networking guru something relevant to people without an MBA? I suggest a question or two about how this might help political organizations develop or volunteer coordination. Or maybe a question relating to education, as it is such a pressing issue for Americans right now. Could Linkedin be useful to a teacher with expertise in say Civics find a school that needs a civics course?
Let's get back to topic and stop this drab conspicuous consumer dialogue and get back to point.
-Laura in Montreal.

Reid Hoffman is an exceptionally interesting person. His idea that each of us now has to be an entrepreneur in his own work life makes a lot of sense. So does his idea that the social groups on the Internet can become more and more professional mutual help groups. I am to tell the truth a bit skeptical of the Technical wonder- kids preaching where the next Utopia is coming but this guy has a track record, and it seems to me a solid and sane approach to what he is doing. Charlie Rose has once again found an interesting guest who can give his viewers not only much new information but something of a new way of seeing things.

Dear Producer,
In addition to the comparisons with MySpace and FaceBook, you ask about Plaxo, which is LinkedIn's real competitor. You never mentioned Plaxo once in the show. Do your homework or hire someone that will.
REMant 03/05/2009 04:05 PM Report
I've seen nothing much in Linkedin except a MySpace clone for business professionals reminding me too much of the kind of puffing business publications do. The real problem with this is that career and resume appearance are all ppl seem to care about nowadays, and that can't really be good for anyone, nor can the really pernicious tendency in this country to mistake and/or substitute this kind of "connecting" for real productivity. Ppl have mentioned this before with respect to email, instant msgs, etc, but I noticed it first with telephones and faxes. Every organization I've ever been in wanted me to spend more time yakking than getting any real work done. Seems akin to a time clock mentality, or what one encounters in the military. Results are what matters, not intentions, or process, certainly not appearances. IMHO it is a very serious problem and I don't see social networking doing much except making it worse. He is certainly right, tho, as I've written repeatedly, regarding the shortcomings of the stimulus notion. Many forums, and other venues on the Web, are an aid to productivity, but the main problem with them is that the larger they get, the more disorganized they become, and Googling doesn't make up for it.
BTW, it might interest you to know, Charlie, that Coach K is about as risk averse as anyone ever was. So I wouldn't elevate risk-taking too far as a measure of success. Ppl who take excessive risks have a problem with gambling, often with drugs and alcohol, and are prone to see the world in a Social Darwinist fashion, which is not helpful.

Tiny Cups
A long tradition in oceanographic studies is making tiny cups for some reason. That reason or reasons, at least for the start of this, escapes me but I do enjoy it. Water is heavy right. And it does not compress. As you go deeper and deeper into the ocean there is more and more water above you and the weight of this water adds up. So at depth you have a lot of water above you and this water causes an increase of pressure. This pressure will increase as you go deeper. Why is this relevant to making tiny cups? Well we take styrofoam cups and send them down with the CTD (see earlier post but its the thing we use to collect water at each depth) and since there is so much pressure they actually get crushed and shrink down to about 1/3 their size but this depends on how far we send them down. To make this more interesting (even though tiny cups themselves seem pretty cool at first) we decorate them in some way, usually colored markers, and then shrink them.
Here we can see two cups that I decorated and sent down to the deep. I think they went down to about 4500 meters. The cup on the right is suppose to have an anaconda staring down a Tricho colony.
The picture below shows everyone's cups right after they came up. Most people on the cruise take part in this though some of the people that have done this a million times only write things like the date and coordinates. In the middle of the picture you can see a tiny head. This was actually a life size foam head that some middle school students decorated. Pretty cool huh? People can get creative with this.
One last thing is that every so often when I tell people about this they think its part of the research. I could never understand why but they do. So just to be positive this is not research…just stupid fun.

Both are considered in Hollywood circles to be A-List actors. It is an unwritten rule for A-List actors to hang together because, insofar as publicists & business managers are concerned, it diminishes the brand and allows viewers to decide who's better over the other.
Rarely will you read A-Listers getting together unless they run into each other at movie premieres, award ceremonies, political events, etc. where alot of stars gather.
It can't help that David Miscavige has heaped alot of praise & importance on his BFF Tom Cruise, and rarely mentions Travolta, who's been a Scientolog kool aid drinker long before Cruise showed up.
jamie Foxx did an interview last night and commented on TC. it sounds like everyone is starting to make a little less out of this situation and starting to try and sweep it under the rug.
Jamie said something like Tom will be okay he is a big boy etc etc. Even TMZ did a skit about the garbage truck and said that this story is pretty much over.
It was a fun ride while it lasted. I gues the good new is this opens the door for the next big foot bullet.
Follow me if I advance! Kill me if I retreat! Revenge me if I die!
I've read that Jamie Fox is exactly the kind of guy who would know just how big a boy T.C. really is. Some people didn't mind taking a shortcut or two or three... to catch a break in the business. Not that this would surprise anyone as far as what goes on in Hollyweird.
