The Driveshaft Shop Upgraded 1000 HP Half Shafts!!! **Full Review/Complete DIY**
Major General
The Driveshaft Shop Upgraded 1000 HP Half Shafts!!! **Full Review/Complete DIY**
The trend of snapped half shafts (axles) on the entire 335i & 135i platforms has been increasing rapidly since many people have surpassed the 400 rwhp / 400 rwtq mark. To be honest, the trend is a bit disturbing. We have members on the forums who have broken three sets of half shafts on their car! Some refuse to track their car because they fear breaking more half shafts and they dont want the embarrassing tow of shame home. I will even admit I have been very concerned about slapping on some drag radials or slicks because I just didnt want to deal with breaking mine. We have seen failures with both the half shafts bar and within the inner universal CV. It has even been hinted that one of the tuners snapped his half shafts during a run at the track. This is clearly the single weakest link we have seen thus far on the drive train of all N54s. If we are to move forward with big power on the N54 then it means we have to identify the weak links and find fixes. The big problem is that there have been no option for half shaft upgrades at all oh, that is until now.
When I decided I was intent upon finding an upgrade option for our weak half shafts, my search continued to come back to the same company. Every person in the speed business suggested the same shop to do the work The Driveshaft Shop. These guys have been building and upgrading half shafts/axles, CVs, drive shafts, etc. for 30 years. They are a part of an enormous number of the fastest ¼ mile race cars in the world. They also make the half shafts for many of the fastest HPF E46 M3s in the world. The Driveshaft Shop is simply the best and their reputation is second to none. The problem is they didnt have an upgrade option available for our vehicle, so I decided I would contact them. After a few conversations, they clearly identified the N54 as an important market and said they wanted to offer upgrade options for our platform! They felt they could make us an upgrade that would hold 1000 hp without sacrificing any drivability whatsoever. What they needed was a half shaft they could look at to measure the necessary parts and make the upgrade. I felt this was tremendously important, so I pulled my half shafts and sent them to The Driveshaft Shop to get this project moving along. The result is now the N54 platform has an upgrade option for the weak N54 half shafts and finally we dont have to worry about snapping them every time we launch the car.
This review will focus on The Driveshaft Shop upgraded axles. I will cover everything from my dealings with DSS, the diagnosis and upgrade of the parts, and the very important thorough DIY of the project.
Experience with The Driveshaft Shop & Their Analysis of E9x axles
I had the fortune to talk with Frank from The Driveshaft Shop a number of times through this process. To say that Frank is an incredibly valuable source of information would be a huge understatement. He has been building axles, driveshafts, CVs, etc. for 30 years and has incredible knowledge about axles and this upgrade. He educated me on materials used in the stock half shafts, the reasons they fail, the process of the upgrade, and the final results. He shared information on the strength of the race and cage used in CVs, and why they fail. Frank even answered emails from his blackberry while he was on the road and on the weekend! That is the real deal on customer service!.
The Driveshaft Shop upgraded axles require you to send your half to them for the upgrade. They can be snapped in half and it doesnt matter. They will tear your old half shafts down and upgrade the race and cage that comprise the inner CV, then upgrade the bar to much stronger parts. The Driveshaft Shop says their N54 axles will hold 1000 hp. When you order the upgrade, The Driveshaft Shop will give you an order number that you need to print on the box you send them. This will help them identify your order when they receive it and expedite the process. My half shafts were received by The Driveshaft Shop on a Wednesday and I had an invoice with tracking information emailed to me Thursday. They machined my half shafts, upgraded the CV, upgraded the bar, packaged the items, sent them to shipping, and emailed me the invoice with tracking info within 24 hours. That is astounding customer service.
The Driveshaft Shops Analysis of E9x Stock Half ShaftWhen my half shafts were at The Driveshaft Shop, they had the opportunity to analyze our half shafts and diagnose the weak spots. This is obviously critical if we want half shafts that can withstand the torque we are putting on them with tunes now. The first thing The Driveshaft shop did was open our half shafts. They found the inner and outer CV housing to be of great quality and those didnt need upgrades. Inside the CV housing are parts called the race and cage. If you are curious what a race and what a cage is, well let me show you. This is what the cage in your universal CV joint look like:
This is what the race inside your universal CV joint look like:
The cage can literally explode under the stress of launch and that clearly has been a major point of failure thus far. The Driveshaft Shop said the stock race and cage were quality parts, but not made for high shock factors at all. To remedy this problem, The Driveshaft Shop used a special blend chromoly that still has a good wear factor but now a very high impact race. In addition, the race is now REM polished for perfect fit and will also reduce heat during break-in.
From here, The Driveshaft shop moved onto looking at the bar. They found the material to be a decent chromoly but it was a formed tube or extruded type bar. Basically there is a hole in the center of the stock bar, and DSS believes that style makes the bar about 15% weaker. In addition, they found diameter changes on the bar causing certain areas to twist more freely than others causing stress concentrations in some areas. To fix this problem, The Driveshaft Shop made a solid center bar out of their proprietary aircraft grade material that has a special design to be torsional with memory built in using special heat treat and temper processes. The bar was made to be completely smooth without any deviations so it can twist freely and come back without issue. The solid bar will add 1 lb to the half shaft, but now the bar is rated to 6000 lbs. of torque.
The Driveshaft shop finished the upgrade with a high grade and higher durometer boot along with synthetic grease.
Finally, The Driveshaft Shop for all future customers will polish and clean the outer splined section and (sample allowing) make sure they fit back into the hub trouble free. Of course you will still have to clean the hub a bit to allow perfect fit.
The Driveshaft Shop Half Shafts ArrivalAs I stated above, The Driveshaft Shop had a very quick turn around and did email me tracking info so I could prepare for the install and I was anxiously waiting for the axles to arrive. When they arrived back, they were packed very nice and very professional.
Everything is very nicely protected and organized. Clearly this is not just a "throw in a box" package.
Each half shaft is protected from the other and secure in a card board section of the box.
It is hard to describe how excited I was when I saw these!
Clearly everything is packaged and protected tremendously well. I removed the half shafts from the box so I could show more detail on the craftsmanship. Notice the new bar (painted matte silver) and the new inner CV with new race/cage.
Here is the OEM looking inner CV section with brand new boot.
On the other end, here is the OEM looking outer splined section of the half shaft with brand new boot.
Finally, a slightly closer look at the bar.
The Driveshaft Shop is a truly professional company the takes enormous pride in the products they create. These items came to my house quickly and incredibly well packaged.
Installation/DIY Guide
DISCLAIMER: You work on your car at your own risk and take full responsibility for any damage caused to your vehicle. Please understand you can injure yourself or kill yourself if you do not take proper precautions when working on your vehicle. Please use extreme caution when working underneath your car. This DIY is simply an example of the way I removed my half shafts and installed the upgraded Driveshaft Shop half shafts on my own vehicle.
If you have read any of my reviews, then you know I write full DIYs for items I feel the average guy who is good with a wrench can accomplish. If I feel the job is too difficult, then I omit information so I dont encourage unqualified people from attempting to do the work. This job is not complicated, but it is by no means easy. I have done a number of axles in my life, and these were by far the most difficult axles I have ever installed. The tolerances BMW has on these axle splines is very tight and you need to make sure you do the proper prep work to prepare these for the install. Common sense must be used and you need to make sure that you secure the car well when you lift it. I will be writing all the details I feel you need to do the job. Torque specs, BMW part replacements with part numbers, and unusual tools necessary will all be covered. Lets jump in.
The first thing we need to cover is the BMW parts you will need to replace and the unusual tools needed. I want to cover the tools first. You will need a 12 point 36mm ½ socket to remove the axle/hub nut from the car. Fortunately Sears sells this for about $9 and it is readily available.
To remove the drive axle collar nut, it will require quite a bit of force since this nut is torqued to about 300 ft./lbs of torque. A breaker bar is a must and I was able to release the axle/hub nut with the following breaker bar and the above 12 point 36mm socket.
You will also need a reverse torx E12 socket to remove the M10 screws from the inner CV that are used to secure the half shaft to the differential.
Finally, you will need a torque wrench that can support some serious torque to lock the drive axle collar nut at the end of the project since again the torque spec is 310 ft/lbs of torque. Unfortunately, you cannot rent a torque wrench with that supports that much force in my area, so I bought a ¾ torque wrench for the job. Harbor Freight sells one for $75 and you can use the 20% off coupon.
BMW suggest replacing the M10 screws that hold the half shaft to the rear differential. BMW also suggest you replace the M27 drive axle collar nuts that hold the half shafts to the hub. The BMW part numbers are as follows for all BMW E92 manuals:
(12) M10 torx screws 33207572716
Here is what each item looks like:
Finally, for reference, here is a picture of the axle assembly courtesy of realOEM:
That covers what you need to do before starting this project.
Removal Of Your Stock Half ShaftsAs I said above, you will be removing your stock half shalfs and sending them in to The Driveshaft Shop for the upgrade. That means this DIY begins with the process to remove your half shafts. The first thing you will need to do is raise you car up, remove the wheels, and support your car appropriately and safely with jack stands. Make sure you do not attempt to do this on jacks alone! After you have removed the wheels, you need to do a little prep work to make sure the half shafts can be easily removed from the car once you remove all fasteners for the half shaft. The rear section only on your exhaust just needs to be lowered. You just need enough clearance to slide the half shaft passed the differential once all fasteners have been removed. I simply removed the rear section bolts on my exhaust, then lowered the pipes out of the way. Continuing the prep work, it is wise to brace the half shaft so it cannot fall when you remove the bolts. I am a fan of just using a metal wire hanger to hold the half shaft in place by simply bending it to wrap around the subframe above and around the bar on the half shaft. Here is what that it will look like when you brace the half shaft and lower the exhaust:
This demonstrates how lowering the exhaust will give you the clearance needed to get the half shafts out past the differential.
Now it is time to begin the real work on this project and you will begin by removing the drive axle collar nut shown below.
You will notice that in two spots the edge of the drive axle collar nut is bent to prevent the nut from backing out. You will need to use a flat head screw driver to unbend the edge as shown below by the blue arrow.
The red arrow shows the direction you will need to bend the collar nut to allow the nut to loose freely.
After you have freed these bind points, it should look like this:
Now you are ready to remove the drive axle collar nut using the breaker bar and 12 point 36mm socket you picked up earlier.
There are many methods to remove the drive axle collar nut, but I chose the jack stand method. Basically you need to make sure the socket does NOT come off the nut and you need to be able to apply the necessary force. The jack stand method helps hold the socket in place and gives you a great fulcrum point to apply the needed pressure to loose the nut. I placed the jack about 1-2 away from the 36 mm socket to help support the pressure and keep the socket on the nut.
Once I felt good that the socket was secure, I cautiously began to apply pressure until the nut began to loosen. A helper could be useful here to assure you will not slip off the nut. This could be bad. I cannot emphasize enough that you need to use caution to make sure your socket does not slip off the collar nut. After you loosen the collar nut, remove it completely from the half shaft (axle).
Now, that we have removed the nut that fastens the half shaft to the hub, we need to begin removing the screws that hold the inner universal CV on the half shaft to the differential. The UCV (universal CV) on the inside of the half shaft is held for (6) torx M10 screws. You will notice 3 of the M10 screws on the inner universal CV in the picture below:
To remove these screws, you will use your E12 reverse torx socket with a short extension to maneuver around the rubber boot. Remember the boot will be replaced by DSS during your upgrade. Take each screw out individually and you can throw them out since you have a new set, however you will need to reuse the small metal braces so keep those somewhere safe. If you need to rotate you axle during the process, just make sure the car is in neutral (the front tires chocked) and the e-brake is released. That will allow you turn turn the axle using the brake rotor. After all bolts are removed, the half shaft will still likely remain in place due to clearance issues. Before you actually remove the driveshaft from the hub, you need to create the necessary clearance for the half shaft. That is accomplished by jacking up the rear hub about 4 as show below.
This will allow you to lower the inner universal CV away from the differential, but still held dangling by the wire you installed earlier. You can see how this will look:
Now onto the final stages of the removal process and that is removing the half shaft from the hub on the car. BMW has a special tool they suggest using which is a simple axle press. I did not use the BMW tool because the threaded section of the half shaft protects the entire splined section of the axle. I used a ½ socket extension and a small mallet to knock the axle out of the hub. I placed the end of the ½ extension on the half shaft end poking out of the hub as shown below.
In retrospect, I would suggest using the axle press to remove the half shafts since the splined section of your half shafts will be re-used on your new upgraded set from DSS. You can get these axle presses at Autozone to rent for free, so it is probably worth the short trip. I will say I did check the entire male splined section of my half shafts with a micrometer after knocking them out of the hub and there was no mushrooming of either the threaded section or splined section of the half shaft. Again, it is probably a better idea to use the axle press, but that is the information you need to make your decision.
Then I patiently knocked the half shaft through the axle being careful not to damage the half shaft or the teeth on the hub. Once I had the half shaft almost clear of the hub, I removed the wire hanger supporting the half shaft and I got in a good position to brace the half shaft so it wouldnt fall once it cleared the hub. With it braced properly, I finished pulling the half shaft entirely through the hub and removed it from the car.
Repeat this process on the other side of the car. Note which half shaft came from the drivers side of the car and which half shaft came from the passenger side of the car. On my car, the drivers side half shaft is the shorter half shaft. In the picture below, the drivers side is on the top and the passenger side is on the bottom.
Once both are removed, you are ready to ship them to The Driveshaft Shop for the upgrade.
Re-installation Of The Upgraded Driveshaft Shop Half ShaftsFast forward to a couple days later when you have the half shafts back. The Bentley Service Manual says simply, Installation is reverse of install. Wow, thanks for the help!!! This install is straight forward, but at the same time it is not a cake walk. Please read this entire section before attempting the installation. Here a some important things to note...
The torque specs are as follows:The installation of the Driveshaft shop half shafts begins and ends with prep work. If you prep the axles and hub for the installation well, then you will save yourself quite a bit of time and headaches in the long run. You want the splines on the half shaft and hub to look like new and I mean so shiny you can see your reflection. Begin prepping the axle splines using emory cloth to remove any burrs, dust, imperfections, etc. Any home improvement store you have exactly what you need. This is not just the ridges of the axle, but the depressed sections too.
After you have worked the splines well, and I mean well, you will use a metal brush to remove any shavings on the splines.
Finally, spray it clean using brake cleaner and it should look like this.
I should note that The Driveshaft Shop has offered to help make this process easier for all N54 owners by polishing and cleaning the splines before returning them to the owners! If they can get a hub, they will also test fit all the half shafts before returning them to assure trouble free installation.
Next, you will use the emory cloth to clean the splines on the hub, then use the metal brush to clean all debris from teeth, and finally thoroughly spray the splines clean using brake cleaner.
The final step to prepare the axle male splined section to be inserted in the hub is applying either white lithium or no seize grease to the splines of the axle.
The splined section is now ready to be installed, but I found it is quite a bit easier to complete the job if you thread all the inner CV bolts now using the metal braces. Remember, you must use new BMW screws as listed above.
Now, it is time to install the new half shafts. Remember the axles are not the same length, so make sure you have the correct axle for the side you are working on. I suggest wrapping the half shafts to protect them during the install from scuffs. You will want to hang the half shafts or place the inner CV on a jack stand so you can brace the half shaft. Now you insert the half shaft the way you removed the half shaft. Make sure you correctly line up the splines!!! This means it should slide partly in before it gets difficult. Once you are sure you have it line up correctly, you will have to really work it over and over to get it all the way through the hub. This is by far the most difficult axle I have ever threaded through a hub in my life and took some elbow grease to get it through the hub. I suspect the polishing and cleaning that DSS will now provide us will make this considerably easier. No secrets though, BMW clearly specs the tolerances very tight and it is a very tight fit.
After the half shaft is fully through the hub, spray off the axle splines liberally with brake cleaner to remove any grease or debris. Now, you can put the axle collar nut onto the axle, but remember to apply a thin coat of oil to the face of the nut that will contact the hub. Tighten the nut, but dont torque to spec yet.
With the half shafts now inserted in the hub, it is time to bolt up your inner CV on the half shaft to the differential. This is when you will be happy you threaded those bolts ahead of time. You will notice some plastic zip ties on the CV casing and now you can cut them away. Jack up the hub about 4 as you did earlier to allow enough clearance to get the inner CV up to the differential, then (with the e-brake off and car in neutral) you will spin the half shaft until it lines up perfectly. Tighten the bolts, but dont torque things yet.
Once you have everything bolted up it is time to start torquing the inner CV bolts. You need to torque these in a star pattern like you would with lug nuts. It is wise to use something to help you note which screws you have torqued to spec and I used painters tape on the end of the screw to identify the torqued screws. I put painter's tape on each screw that was completed, so there is no question about whether it was torqued to spec or not.
Clean everything up by spraying liberal amounts of brake cleaner around the hub and brake components you touched.
You are done now with one axle and the exact same process will be used on the other half shaft on your car.
Now it is off to the final step and that is torquing the M27 collar nuts to spec. You must have your wheels installed and the car sitting on the ground for this process. Well you wont be able to see the collar nut with the center caps on you wheels, so remove those before re-installing the wheels to the hub. Make sure the car is in park or in gear with the e-brake engaged for this process. I would strongly suggest you have a friend present to help you torque the drive axle collar nut to spec. You will need at ¾ torque wrench to get to the necessary 310 ft./lbs of torque. Your friend needs to make sure your 36mm socket does not come off that nut. Again, I used the jack stand method to properly torque the collar nuts to spec. Use caution when tightening the nut to spec because this is a lot of torque and you can injure yourself, your friend, or your car if you are careless. I would heavily protect your wheels in case for some reason you came off the nut while apply the necessary force. This is how it looked when I dressed up my wheels.
The last step is the staking the collar nut and well you cannot do that with the wheel on the car, so jack the car up again and remove the wheels. Once the wheels are removed you can stake the collar nut. Once it is done, it will look like this. Note the blue arrows pointing to where the collar nut it staked.
Finally, torque your wheels to spec which is 88.5 ft./lbs (120 NM) and you are done. Look everything over to make sure nothing is out of place and that you dont have extra parts sitting around anywhere.
It should be noted again that this install was not complex at all, but the tight tolerances of the stock half shafts made the fit very snug. In the future, The Driveshaft Shop will polish and de-bur all the half shaft splines before they are shipped back to you. If they have a sample in house, they will also check and make sure they fit back in the hub for a trouble free install. This will make this job really routine for a decent DIY guy.
After you have everything button up, it is time for a drive.
The results are obvious in a sense because we now have 1000 hp axles, but I want to cover a few other components like weight, fitment, any extra noise, and holding power during hard launches.
WeightThe package left my house to go to The Driveshaft Shop at 29.5 lbs for both axles, so that is abuot 14.75 lbs per stock half shaft. The upgrade axles from the Driveshaft Shop weighed about 32 lbs. That is an average of 16 lbs per axle or an increase of about 1 lb. Pretty nominal considering the strength you are adding!
FitmentAlthough the tolerances were very tight, fitment was OEM on both the inner universal CV joint connection to the differential and the axle spline to hub. Again, it should be noted that The Driveshaft Shop will be prepping these half shafts for clean fitment before shipping them to you in the future. That is a great service to add!
Road NoiseI wanted to test these under hard driving and casual driving. Under both casual driving and hard driving, I think there may be a pinch more road noise, but to be honest it is nearly impossible to tell you have upgraded axles. The car rides basically just like stock and takes off just like stock. Again, there may be a tiny more noise, but it is only a guess since the difference is tiny at most.
Hard LaunchesI was able to do three different hard launches at about 3500 rpms to test The Driveshaft Shop half shafts. They didnt flinch and the car just goes! I also ran these with and without nitrous and they didnt flex even an inch. That is about 525 rwhp / 515 rwtq 3k launches and when you launch the car goes. Also remember, I have a Clutch Masters Twin disc so when you drop the clutch it grabs HARD. I also tried hard gear shifts through multiple gears and the axles accept the power beautifully. The bottom line is the fear of hard launches breaking your half shafts is now over.
The half shafts on the N54 have now officially been shown to be the weak spot in our drive train. They break at the bar as well as the inner CV and the problem seems to be worse for those that have lowered the car. There were no upgrade options, so we stuck paying about $500 per axle plus labor for the replacement. The bigger problem is that we know the stock half shafts are ticking time bombs. We now have an upgrade option thanks to The Driveshaft Shop.
My experience with The Driveshaft Shop was extraordinary. Frank was informative, intelligent, and very helpful through the process. He even answered some of my questions from his Blackberry while he was on the road and on vacation. This kind of customer service is rare and should be noted. Their turn around time was incredibly fast (less than 24 hours). The do note that the average turn around time is 3-4 days. The Driveshaft Shop provided tracking info to me so I could prepare for the install. Overall this is an A+ review for the customer service The Driveshaft Shop provides.
The Driveshaft Shop axles will now hold 1000 hp. The race and cage have all been upgraded with higher quality chromoly with a very high impact value but retaining a good wear factor. Where the stock half shafts may have lasted for 115,000 miles, The Driveshaft Shop half shafts should last a good 85,000 miles. The bar on the half shaft is also upgraded to a solid bar design capable of handling 6000 lbs of torque. All the upgrades only add about 1 lb to each half shaft total. The car still drives basically the same as stock with a tiny or no increase in noise. The half shafts held easily under 3500 rpm launches at about 525 rwhp / 515 rwtq. In multiple gear hard shifts, the half shafts performed flawlessly. The Driveshaft Shop half shafts have been race proven and will not break like the junk half shafts that come stock with the N54. Honestly, this is the best possible result I could have imagined.
The price for this upgrade is listed as $999. Considering that is the cost of the stock half shafts and these are completely rebuildable, that is a very good price. If you are interested, you can call The Driveshaft Shop at 1-704-633-2380 and the part number for the upgrade is BMWE92R-1.
We are lucky they chose to prioritize the N54 market and get these made for us so quickly. I wouldnt hesitate for a fraction of a second to purchase from The Driveshaft Shop again.

fantastic review and documentation.
driveshaft shop normally gets good reviews, but I have seen a few of their driveshafts go out of balance quickly. I highly doubt that will be a problem here.
now go cut some serious 60 ft times w ur beast and report back to what breaks next

Those look nice. VERY informative post
Did you happen to measure the outer diameter of the new halfshafts vs. the OEM units? I'm curious if there is a significant difference or if its mostly just a solid bar and stronger cage/race assembly.

The high profile of this activity makes it especially important that the terrestrial carbon cycle is represented correctly so there is confidence in larger-scale model predictions.
This Working Group will advance improvements in how the impact of altered atmospheric CO2 concentration is represented in carbon cycle models. We will use some of the longest and most comprehensive data sets on CO2 impacts on ecosystems from field experiments to provide a standard for evaluating 12 ecosystem process and land surface models. The models, which are being used for predicting terrestrial response to atmospheric and climatic change, will be parameterized with site and weather data from the Duke University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments.
The team will evaluate the ability of the models to reproduce the measured processes of the carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles of the Duke and Oak Ridge experimental stands and their responses to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration. Similarities and differences among the models and their components will provide guidance for improving all of the models. With the experimental data as a benchmark for model performance, the utility of the models for extrapolation to environmental change questions can be demonstrated with increased confidence. This data-model intercomparison project has the potential to provide better scientific outputs for policy making.

Native cattle of the British Isles
For my readers who are interested in such things, here are some interesting facts about cattle in the U.K. The following figures show the predominant cattle breeds in the U.K. currently and the number of registered cattle in each breed.
Beef Breeds:
687,382 -- Limousin
332,098 -- Charolais
222,290 -- Aberdeen Angus
221,670 -- Simmental
186,730 --Belgian Blue
307,387 -- Other breeds
Dairy Breeds:
579,617 -- Holstein Friesian or Holstein Friesian crosses
Source: "Limousin is UK's Largest Numerical Cattle Breed" by staff, published March 10, 2007 on Trumpline Stackyard.
I suppose that the registration of every animal is part of their program to eradicate Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), more commonly known as mad cow disease.
The article where I found these statistics quotes the president of the British Limousin association. He says that the Limousin are "easy care, added value cattle" and that the "flexibility and predictability of Limousin cattle is providing a marked and demonstrable premium" for farmers. He almost sounds like a politician.
In the list above, the only truly native UK breed is Aberdeen Angus, a black cattle from Scotland that is also a popular U.S. cattle breed.
Limousin and Charolais cattle are of French origin. Simmentals are from the Simme valley of Switzerland. The breed is the result of crossing the native cattle of the area with larger cattle from Germany.
Belgian Blues were developed in Belgium, but their bloodlines go back to a cross of Shorthorns (of the British Isles) and Friesian cattle.
I decided to compile a list of some of the UK's other native cattle breeds that didn't make the popularity list. Here it is, and each link should open a new window with images of that cattle breed.
- Ayrshire - a dairy cattle breed from the County of Ayr in Scotland.
- Chillingham - One of the old breeds of white cattle. This one is a wild native cow from Northumberland, small with upright horns and red ears. A very rare breed, with only about 100 animals left.
- Devon - a cattle breed from the Devonshire, England area, once used as draft animals as well as for dairy and beef.
- Guernsey and Jersey - dairy cattle breeds from the channel islands, Guernsey and Jersey
- Hereford - a breed of red cattle that originated in western England and Wales. Once used as draft animals. Has been a popular beef breed in the U.S. for many years.
- Highland - a hardy, shaggy, long-horned native breed from the highlands of Scotland. There were once two strains of this breed (Kyloe and Highlander), but in modern times they are all known as Highland cattle.
- Shorthorn - an old breed mentioned in recorded history as early as the 1500's, probably descended from a short-horned ox known to be in England in the days of the Roman Empire
- Lincoln Red - probably brought to the British Isles by the Vikings.
- English Longhorn - Brindle cattle with long horns, once used as draft animals.
- British White - An old breed of white cattle with "dark points" that can trace its history back 800 years; originally from the wild white cattle of Great Britain.
- White Park - Another old breed of white cattle, smaller with larger horns, that can trace its history back to the Druids of pre-Christian Ireland. The White Park breed also has a long history in England, Scotland and Wales.
- Dexter and Kerry - descended from the Celtic black cattle of the highlands of southern Ireland.
- Galloway and Belted Galloway - a old breed descended from the long-haired black cattle of the Galloway region of the Scottish lowlands.
- Welsh Black - an old breed of horned black cattle from Wales, used for meat and milk.
- There may be other breeds as well. These are just what I came up with fairly quickly.

It's been a while since we've had a Groomonster story.
This is actually a small tidbit from a huge wedding saga. I put this under groomonster, but really its a monster family! My best friend of 12 years (Molly) decided that the man she had been dating for two months was "the one". This was after I had talked to her numerous times and she insisted that they would date for at least a year before deciding anything drastic. Apparently getting married isn't drastic in her vocab. So the date is set for six months after the engagement is announced. This seemed a bit too short in my taste especially because she lives across the country but would be having it in our hometown where her parents still live. This means her poor mother planned, put together and paid for the whole thing. To make matters worse, Molly and Jim decided that their wedding couldn't wait that long and they move it up two months! This gave her poor mother just 2.5 months to get it together! When I asked why she did that, she admitted "We don't want to wait that long" meaning to have sex. They are both of a religion that firmly holds any physical contact til after marriage. This brought up all new warning bells in my head because now I'm thinking this marriage is all about the sex, but that's for another story.
So the big day day comes and since her and his religion doesn't have a public ceremony, we have the 'rehearsal' dinner after the ceremony. It was paid for by her parents, again, because his parents refused to pay for anything. Well, they did want to pay for a huge barbecue for them, in THEIR home state, without any of Molly's family invited, and conveniently placed the morning AFTER THEIR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER. So that Molly would have to ride up with Jim's parent's feeling very awkward (his family is also known for being very cold and unresponsive). The couple ended up declining the idea, and in a fit, his parents refused to pay for anything (Molly's parents even paid for Jim's Tux and shoes!). But then proceeded to invite their other ELEVEN CHILDREN, along with assorted spouses and children, aunts and uncles, grandparents and even close friends. I think there were more people at the rehearsal dinner than showed up to the reception! It was obvious by the strained looks on Molly's parents' faces that most of these people had not RSVP'd. Then, halfway through the meal, another family shows up and sits at a different table (there's about 5, with all the kids, too). They request to the waiter to be put on the tab as they were running late. Then they order appetizers, alchohol, entrees and desserts for everyone! Molly's parents did refuse to pay the alcohol tab as their religion prohibits drinking. At the rehearsal dinner, I sat next to the bride as her unspecified maid of honor (there is no bridal party, as the ceremony is a closed event). As I turned to talk to her, her new husband reached around and grabbed her around the shoulders. He peeked his head out from behind her and whispered, "MINEMINEMINE!", in a malicious voice. I was stunned, behavior like this coming from a grown man!
I think he was feeling jealous that I had known my friend for much longer (not that two months is much competition!), or something, because behavior like this had been shot at me the whole three days I had known him. Really, he had no reason to lash out at me because I had helped put his wedding together! I had come over every night for a week to put together flowers and paint decorations with the parents while he and Molly made out quite visibly on the family couch (in full view of children and relatives! could not keep their hands away. BTW, the whole family is very religious and conservative). I was also in charge of carting them both around on their wedding day and entertaining them for the full fours hours between the ceremony and reception. The kicker is when Molly confided to me that Jim hates his family and doesn't seem to like hers either. She isn't sure if she can make it for my own wedding (also to be held in our hometown, as I live here) because Jim thinks visiting family about once every TEN YEARS is the norm. Thankfully Molly's mother pulls him aside and gives him a warning about isolating her daughter from her family. His and his family's immaturity is still ongoing and I eagerly await a phone call about their divorce! 1029-08

VIDEO: C.J. McCollum hits his first NBA 3-pointer
HANG TIME WEST – That's 10 games with the Trail Blazers, and 10 indicative games at that, with an average of 14.3 minutes per — a decent workload for someone returning from a serious injury and regularly playing in the fourth quarter as a rookie on a team in win-now mode.
C.J. McCollum, quickly playing a role for the Trail Blazers, is back, all right. Just not to the same Trail Blazers and not to the role envisioned.
Once upon a time – in June – McCollum was the No. 10 pick in the draft with the perfect landing spot. He would not have a path to the starting lineup the way a lot of other lottery choices are handed big minutes as investments in the future, but it was easy to project McCollum as a key part of the rotation at a time Portland made beefing up the bench a priority. He was a combo guard who could play behind or with Damian Lillard, and being a backcourt fit with Lillard made for a good career path there. Not only that, but the Lehigh product had held Lillard up as an example of what was possible for a mid-major guy who used all four seasons of college eligibility and had to answer questions about whether he had a position. To then get to play with Lillard, for a blossoming team in a city that loved its NBA, was close to ideal.
It began to change about six weeks later, when the Trail Blazers signed Mo Williams, another guard. The real hit, though, came when McCollum was diagnosed in October with a fractured left foot. Rather, another fractured left foot, the same injury that ended his senior season at Lehigh two months early.
This time, it cost McCollum much of his first training camp and nearly the first 2 1/2 months of the regular season. By the time of his Jan. 8 return, the Trail Blazers had gone from a team with playoff potential and a built-up bench to the reality of 26-9. Williams had gone from being a late signing, in August, to playing well at backup point guard. So much had changed around McCollum.
"It was a roller coaster," he said. "Playing well, getting hurt in college, you rehab, you come back, you get drafted and get in a position to contribute to a great team in the NBA, then get hurt again. But that's what life's about. Different obstacles. It's more about how you overcome them. I think that makes you a better person."
The sudden twists have continued. While McCollum has played at least 11 minutes in all 10 appearances, there has essentially been no such thing as a Lillard pairing.
So far:
McCollum has been with Williams for 10 games and 126 minutes.
McCollum has been with Wesley Matthews, the starting shooting guard, for 10 games and 79 minutes.
McCollum has been with Lillard for three games and nine minutes.
"It's a long season," McCollum said at the time of his return. "You need a lot of bodies out there to contribute and help out the team in different ways. I don't feel any pressure. I wouldn't feel any pressure if we didn't have any guards. I just kind of approach it every day and just make sure I'm in a position where I'm bettering myself and making sure that I'm ready because at some point my number's going to be called. I just want to make sure that I'm able to perform at a high level."
Coach Terry Stotts had an established rotation and a team that was slightly wobbling at the time. He needed stability, not to experiment with the rotation. That has remained in place through the end of month, with three losses the last five games, but McCollum is still getting good minutes for a rookie coming off an injury and when every change in the standings matters. These are not the Blazers just trying to make the playoffs.

Simon Cowell Peeved Over 'X Factor' Scheduling Mishap
Simon Cowell can be pretty cantankerous to begin with, but he's really cranky following the scheduling disaster for 'X Factor' on Wednesday night (Oct. 17).
In case you missed it: Instead of airing at its normal time slot on Fox, 'X Factor' was moved back because of the San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals. There was a rain delay in the game, however, forcing the show to be moved back even further on the East Coast. The judges' houses episode of the show was delayed roughly 40 minutes in total -- and it doesn't end there. The show was also cut off abruptly during Demi Lovato's selections and launched into rerun of 'The Mindy Project.'
Though a brief scrolling message on the bottom of the screen revealed that the episode would be re-aired in full this Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 8 PM ET.
DigitalSpy reports that Cowell was pretty displeased and unpleasantly surprised by the fiasco, and he vented his frustrations on Twitter, writing, "Have no idea what is happening to the schedule tonight. Have heard the whole episode will be shown next Tuesday. Sorry. It (sic) what's known as a total f up."
To prevent another "total f up," 'X Factor' will go on a brief break for the World Series, returning when live shows begin on Nov. 1 at 8 PM ET. The more you know!

Slash, Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar to Lead All-Star Benefit Concert
Sufferers of the neurological disorder known as multiple system atrophy, or MSA, will get a big boost from some well-known rockers later this month, when some of music's biggest names come together for an all-star benefit concert.
The benefit, dubbed Kerry Simon Says Fight MSA, is being held on Feb. 27 at the Keep Memory Alive Center in Las Vegas, and the impressive list of performers includes Slash, Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar, and Vince Neil, as well as former Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum and System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan, among others. Bill Murray has agreed to serve as one of the night's emcees, and the event will be hosted by Kerry Simon, a celebrity chef who was diagnosed with MSA last year.
A degenerative condition that affects nerve cells in specific areas of the brain, MSA manifests itself with Parkinson's-like symptoms that include slow and/or stiff movement, difficulty with handwriting, problems with coordination and balance, and an impairment of automatic body functions. In spite of its Parkinson's similarities, MSA patients tend to show little if any improvement when placed on the dopamine medications used to combat that disease.
Tickets for the event cost $500, and can be purchased through the Keep Memory Alive Center's website. For more information about the Center and its mission, click here.

Stealing Kennedy: Conservatives Try To Hijack The JFK Legacy
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
As the nation mourns the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, conservative media figures have attempted to appropriate his legacy and attribute to the beloved former president their conservative ideas and positions. This effort runs counter to Kennedy's stated positions, speeches, and other historical facts surrounding his presidency.
Kennedy was a self-described "liberal." In 1960 he accepted the presidential nomination of the New York Liberal Party and said:
What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."
During his presidency, Kennedy was viciously attacked by conservatives. Famously, a flyer labeling him as "Wanted For Treason" was distributed in Dallas the week of the president's assassination. That flyer accused him of "betraying the Constitution" by "turning the sovereignty of the U.S. over to the communist controlled United Nations." Referring to Kennedy's support of civil rights activists, the flyer claimed he had "given support and encouragement to the Communist inspired racial riots."
Today's conservatives, by contrast, are in a full-on campaign to claim the slain President as one of their own. It's no surprise: Kennedy is incredibly popular. A recent Gallup poll found that Americans rate JFK as the "Top Modern President." 74 percent of respondents ranked Kennedy's standing in history as "outstanding/above average," 13 points higher than the next most well-regarded president, Ronald Reagan. Gallup also reported that Kennedy's presidency has maintained a high approval rating on a consistent basis for over 20 years of polling.
Here are seven right wing media figures who have used the anniversary of the week of Kennedy's death to try to minimize his liberalism and associate his successes with conservatism.
Glenn Beck: Kennedy Would Be "A Tea Party Radical." On his November 22 radio show, Glenn Beck claimed that Kennedy has been "co-opted by the left "and that "if you could bring back the politician JFK was, he wouldn't be accepted by the Republican Party because he would be a Tea Party radical" who "wouldn't even recognize what this country has become."
Rush Limbaugh: Kennedy "Was Not In Any Way A Liberal As You Know Liberals Today." On his November 21 program, Limbaugh claimed that President Kennedy "was not in any way a liberal as you know liberals today," citing his support for tax cuts and the fact that he was "proud to be an American." He added that Kennedy "was not a big believer in the Civil Rights Act."
In fact, President Kennedy called on Congress to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act in a speech on June 11, 1963. As the bill was debated on the floor of the Senate, his brother Sen. Ted Kennedy said, "My brother was the first President of the United States to state publicly that segregation was morally wrong. His heart and his soul are in this bill."
Chris Wallace: "There Is A Growing Body Of Thought That In Fact President Kennedy Was Quite Conservative." During an interview on the November 17 Fox News Sunday with Kennedy's niece Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, host Chris Wallace claimed that "there's a growing body of thought that in fact President Kennedy was quite conservative in some of his policies." Wallace claimed Kennedy "believed that tax cuts spur the economy."
In response, Townsend laughed and noted that while conservatives often cite President Kennedy's support for lowering taxes, the 70 percent top marginal tax rate he favored is way above the current top rate that most conservatives still claim is too high.
Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby: "Kennedy Was No Liberal. By Any Reasonable Definition, He Was A Conservative." Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby also cited Kennedy's position on taxation and claimed that "Kennedy was no liberal. By any reasonable definition, he was a conservative" and that "Today's Democratic Party -- the home of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Al Gore -- wouldn't give the time of day to a candidate like JFK."
Breitbart.com's Joel Pollak: "JFK Would Have Rejected The Iran Deal." In a post headlined "JFK Would Have Rejected the Iran Deal," Breitbart.com senior editor at large Joel B. Pollak wrote that the Obama administration's efforts to negotiate a deal to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities "reject[] the lessons, and the principles, of the Kennedy legacy."
Cavuto: Kennedy "Was More To The Right Than The Left Likes To Admit." On the November 18 edition of Your World, Fox's Neil Cavuto hosted Ira Stoll, the author of JFK, Conservative. In his introduction to the segment, Cavuto asked, "As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, what if I told you he was more to the right than the left likes to admit?" Later in the interview, Cavuto stated that "No one has given a better argument for lowering taxes - and I include Ronald Reagan - than JFK. Go figure."
During the interview with Cavuto, Stoll claimed that Kennedy "was a conservative," which is the central thesis of his book. Critics who have examined Stoll's claims say the book "is filled with historical flaws" and that the author is making a "ridiculous argument."
Breitbart.com's AWR Hawkins Highlights JFK's "Lifetime Membership In The NRA and His Defense of the Second Amendment." Breitbart's AWR Hawkins wrote that "two aspects" of Kennedy's legacy "that are not getting the attention they deserve are his lifetime membership in the NRA and his defense of the Second Amendment."
While President Kennedy was a member of the organization, the organization at the time was much more focused on "hunting, conservation and marksmanship" than the strident opposition to gun legislation that has become that group's stock in trade. The Gun Control Act of 1968, a federal law dramatically expanding the regulation of the firearms industry and firearms owners, was passed in part due to outrage over the killings of John Kennedy and his brother Robert.
At a ceremony where former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was given a JFK Profile in Courage Award in May, Kennedy's daughter Caroline (now the U.S. ambassador to Japan) noted that "our family is still suffering from the heartbreak caused by gun violence."

So, your loved one went to PyCon, and while they were away, you watched their Twitter erupt with some strange moon language that leaves you wondering what the hell they were doing in Chicago, anyway. What follows is a short primer (to be updated as I get more suggestions) of what we tend to talk about on Twitter when shouting randomly at each other.
GVR/Guido: Guido Van Rossum. The founder of Python, he's something of a rock star when it comes to PyCon. Hence, many fangirl/boy Twits along the lines of "OMG keep it cool, Guido is sitting at the table next to me" or "GVR cited in Ballroom G! Go mob him now!" It is, honestly, a little surprising that he manages to get out of Pycon without having ladies' underwear tossed at him. Perhaps we simply need more women at these conferences.
BOF/Open Spaces: Birds of a feather. A strange and addicting phenomenon where one can post an index card on a large white posterboard with a topic in mind, and people magically show up at the proposed hour. At the beginning of the conference, BOF topics are usually closely related to the topic at hand (Python and development), but by the end, the constant diet of beer and caffeine leads to topics such as "Shut your damn face about Git" and "PONIES FOR ALL"
Ponies: An in-joke that has lead to the manifestation of an actual stuffed, pink pony being brought to the conference. The joke started with Plone, where developers were told that they could not have a pony. Django followed up by saying that yes, users COULD have a pony, and, in fact, it was pink.
Plone/Django/Pinax: A variety of popular frameworks (or, in the case of Pinax, and add-on to a framework). Wars in the Middle East have been laid to rest with less to-do than the wars between framework lovers. If your loved one seems to Twitter obsessively about Django, do yourself a favor and don't bring up Plone, or vice versa. Your status as significant other will not save you from being a casualty in the conflict.
Lightning talk: Normally, one goes to conferences to see talks that range from 45-90 minutes. These talks can be rather difficult to put together. One has to submit a proposal, create slides, test your timing, find the timing is short, insert some lolcats, test the timing again, remember to actually register for the conference. Also good to have, though optional, is having something to actually talk about. Lightning talks appeal to the lazier conference goers (which is, in fact, 90% of us). All you have to do is put your name on a sheet, and you have a five minute slot to talk about whatever you want. Features of the lightning talk: live demos that go horribly wrong, speaking so fast the listeners are often confused as to what language the talk was in, computers that implode, and, of course, stealing the VGA connector so no one else can give their lightning talk.
DVCS: Distributed Version Control System. Another thing developers use, and another thing where every group has their own darling they would like the world to implement. Their methods of convincing the rest of the world usually include rational debate, heated discussion, impugning the virtue of one's mother, and implying that the other side of the debate is actually populated by ColdFusion developers who are trying to undermine the Python community.
Sprints: Perhaps your loved one hasn't returned yet, but is at this strange thing called a sprint. A sprint is named in a peculiar fashion, as no-one moves a terrible amount during them. In general, a group of developers will lock themselves in a room and bang away at a set of code for several days. If you note strange track marks on your loved one's arm when he/she returns, it's just from the mainlined Mt. Dew. It should go away in a few days.
OH: Overheard. A penchant for non sequitur is high at conferences, with so many people crammed so close together. Sometimes, the speaker is told that the quote is going up. The truly epic, however, are only discovered later by the speaker's spouse. "But dear, you know I would never steal another man's underwear! Or violate a horse! Especially a small one!"
BDFL: Benevolent Dictator for Life. As much as we love democracy, sometimes, we simply can't be bothered. So occasionally, a person will stand up and declare him/herself BDFL of a bunch of code. If he/she is not torn asunder by an avalanche of vitriolic blog posts, indignant twitters, and Facebook groups titled "I shagged the BDFL's mother", then the coup is successful. An alternate title is TDFN: Tyrannical Dictator for Now. We're too lazy for democracy, but we don't mind organizing for the occasional brute force take down.
Hopefully, this short list will help you decipher some of the past few days of your loved one's life, and the next few weeks you'll have to cope with them gushing about it. In a few weeks, they should be out of the habit of nightly stuffed pizza, and wondering in the morning where the fresh muffins and juice are.

Isabelle was born into an army family and most of her childhood was spent moving from place to place, school to school, including periods of living abroad in Egypt and Germany. Some schools she loved, some she hated, so it wasn't too surprising that she left halfway through the sixth form with "A" Levels unfinished. She became a secretary, as all good girls did at the time, and realized almost immediately that the role of handmaiden simply wasn't for her. Escape beckoned when she landed a job with an airline. She was determined to see as much of the rest of the world as possible, and working as cabin crew, she met some very interesting people and enjoyed some great experiences-riding in the foothills of the Andes, walking by the shores of Lake Victoria, flying pilgrims from Kandahar to Mecca. The arrival of marriage and children meant a more settled life in the south of England, where she's lived ever since. It also gave her the opportunity to go back to "school" and eventually gain a PhD. For many years she taught English at a number of universities and loved every minute of it. What could be better than spending one's life reading and talking about books? Well, writing them, perhaps. Writing was an idea Isabelle enjoyed thinking about, but there never seemed time to do more than dabble with the occasional short story. And she was always aware of a critical voice in her head telling her not to bother! But gradually the voice started growing fainter and at the same time the idea that she might actually write a whole book began to take hold. She'd always felt an affinity with the nineteenth century and grew up reading Georgette Heyer, so when she finally plucked up the courage to begin writing herself, the novels had to be Regency romances. She was amazed and delighted to learn just before Christmas 2009 that her first book had been accepted for publication. Its title is Reprobate Lord, Runaway Lady and it is due to be published January 2011. Since then Isabelle has been concentrating most of her energies on writing, and several more novels are now in the pipeline. She is getting immense pleasure from creating new worlds and sharing them with readers. Isabelle loves to hear from her readers via her email: email@example.com

Meet Harvard Friday, Dartmouth Saturday
Related Links
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs, winners of six of their last eight games, have had some success on the road this season. Yale has won at Boston College and at Holy Cross and played well in narrow losses to Providence and Vermont, both of whom have top 100 RPIs. The Bulldogs need a productive road trip this weekend when they travel to Harvard on Friday and Dartmouth on Saturday. Both games begin at 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs (11-9, 4-2 Ivy) sit in third place in the Ivy League as they approach the midway point, one game behind Harvard (5-1) and 1.5 games behind first-place Princeton (5-0). An improbable comeback against Cornell last Friday helped keep Yale in the race. The Bulldogs trailed by 10 points with 1:58 left and seven points with 1:10 remaining before rallying for a 71-70 victory. Austin Morgan's three-point play with 12 seconds left was the game-winner. It was Morgan's second game-winning three-point play this season. He scored in almost identical fashion with six seconds left in Yale's 77-76 win over Holy Cross in early January. The Bulldogs have played eight games decided by five points or less and are 5-3 in those games. Greg Mangano (15.1 ppg., 10.0 rpg., 57 blocks) is 16th in the nation in blocks and 24th in rebounding. Yale needs one victory to match its overall wins total from a year ago. The Bulldogs finished 12-19 in 2009-10.
Pay-per-view video is available for each game - at gocrimson.com for Friday's game and at dartmouthsports.com on Saturday. In addition, audio of Saturday's game will be featured on SIRIUS Satellite Radio Channel 130 and on dartmouthsports.com.
Yale continues to lead the Ivy League in field goal percentage defense (.417). The Bulldogs are second in blocks (4.5 per game) and third in scoring defense (66.8) and free throw percentage (.726). Nationally, Yale is 60th in blocked shots per game and 67th in free throw percentage.
The Bulldogs have 114 victories all-time against Harvard, their most against any opponent. Yale head coach James Jones is 16-6 against Harvard, but the Crimson swept the season series last year, winning an 82-79 overtime thriller in New Haven and a 78-58 decision in Cambridge. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 114-68, but Harvard has won three straight.
Yale has won three straight and seven of the last eight meetings with Dartmouth. Jones is 17-5 against the Big Green, including a pair of victories last year. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 102-94.
Yale has swept the Harvard-Dartmouth road trip four times under Jones.
The Crimson (16-4, 5-1 Ivy) is off to its best Ivy League start since the 1996-97 season. Harvard is coming off a thrilling 83-82 double overtime victory at Penn last Saturday. Oliver McNally's layup with 11.5 seconds left was the game-winner. The Crimson is riding a 13-game win streak at home, the most since winning 14 straight from 1946-47. Keith Wright (15.2 ppg., 8.4 rpg.) leads the team in scoring and rebounding. Three other players - Christian Webster (13.9 ppg.), Laurent Rivard (11.5 ppg.) and Oliver McNally (10.0 ppg.) - average double figures in scoring. Tommy Amaker is in his fourth season as Harvard's head coach.
Paul Cormier is back for his second stint as Dartmouth's head coach. He spent seven years with the Big Green in the late 1980's before being named the head coach at Fairfield. The Big Green (5-15, 1-5 Ivy) features a balanced scoring attack, led by Jabari Trotter (8.8 ppg.). Eight players average between 5.1 and 8.8 points.
• Yale swept the Cornell-Columbia home weekend for the seventh time in James Jones' tenure as head coach.
• The two victories this weekend give Jones 153 at Yale, moving him past Dick Kuchen into second place all-time at Yale. Joe Vancisin is the school's career wins leader with 206.
• The Bulldogs rallied from a 10-point deficit with two minutes left in the second half to defeat Cornell. It was the largest deficit Yale has overcome this season.
• Austin Morgan averaged 16.0 points and 4.5 assists.
• Porter Braswell shot 50 percent from the field, 55.6 percent from three-point range and averaged 15.5 points.
• Reggie Willhite held two of the Ivy League's top scorers well below their averages. Cornell's Chris Wroblewski was just 3-of-8 from the field in scoring nine points, six below his average. The next night Columbia's Noruwa Agho, who leads the league in scoring, was 3-of-7 from the field and scored six points, almost 10 below his average.
• Michael Grace made all five of his shots and scored 11 points off the bench against Columbia. Yale's bench outscored Columbia's 22-7 in the game.
Yale was picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League by the select panel of 17 Ivy media representatives. Yale, though, shouldn't put too much stock in those prognostications. The Bulldogs have finished higher than projected in four of the last five years. Princeton, which received 12 of 17 first-place votes, is the preseason Ivy League favorite. The Tigers return their top five scorers and top two rebounders. Harvard got four first-place votes and is second followed by Cornell (one first-place vote) and Penn. Brown, Columbia and Dartmouth round out the poll.
First-Place Votes in Parentheses
Rank School Points
1. Princeton (12) 128
2. Harvard (4) 120
3. Cornell (1) 96
4. Penn 89
5. Yale 57
6. Brown 55
7. Columbia 48
8. Dartmouth 19
James Jones has made quite an impact on the Yale basketball program. In 11 seasons, Jones has guided Yale to success not seen in New Haven in 40 years. In 2001-02, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. The team won 21 games, the second most in the modern era of Yale basketball, and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Jones, the longest tenured coach in the Ivy League, earned his 100th victory at Yale when the Bulldogs beat Columbia on Feb. 9, 2007. He is only the fourth coach in school history with at least 100 wins. The Bulldogs have won at least 10 Ivy games twice during his tenure and have had a .500 or better record in league play in nine of his 11 years. Four assistant coaches who worked under Jones have gone on to become head coaches - Isaiah Cavaco (Oberlin), Mark Sembrowich (Academy of Arts University), Mark Gilbride (Clarkson) and Ted Hotaling (New Haven).Jones served as an assistant coach to Villanova's Jay Wright for the 2007 USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team.
The Bulldogs' most impressive victory during the non-conference season was a 75-67 win at Boston College on Nov. 18. Yale made a season-high 12 three-pointers in the game. BC's only lead was 2-1. The Eagles are currently 15-9 overall and 5-5 in the ACC...Three Bulldogs took an active role in the Yale Athletic Department's annual Holiday Gift Giving Initiative. Alfonso Costa, Michael Grace and Jesse Pritchard visited Augusta Lewis Troup School on Friday, Dec. 10, to distribute gifts collected. Costa, who also plays lacrosse, is chair of Yale's Student-Athlete Community Outreach Committee...Roger Lee, the youngest son of Yale great John Lee '58, attended the Yale-Stanford game. John Lee scored 1,493 points in three seasons at Yale. Yale's home court, the John J. Lee Amphitheater, is named in his honor... Yale's home game with Princeton will be televised as part of the winter "Yale On Yes" package.

SAN FRANCISCO — A Bay Area contractor and host of the hit HGTV television show "Curb Appeal" was killed Monday night in a motorcycle crash in San Francisco's Haight district, the medical examiner said.
Bill Beckwith, 38, died at San Francisco General Hospital after he was hit on his motorcycle by another vehicle near Oak and Steiner streets about 8:30 p.m. authorities said. While San Francisco police would not disclose details about how the crash occurred, they said the 30-year-old driver of the other vehicle was not injured, and stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
For two years, Beckwith co-hosted "Curb Appeal," an HGTV home renovation program that chronicled the overhaul of a home's exterior. He was living in San Francisco, where he owned and operated his own construction company, BBDesignBuild, out of the city's Castro district. A native of Maine, he moved to Northern California in the early 2000s after studying English and martial arts at the University of Montana.
A Facebook page has been created in Beckwith's memory at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1383520048562840/. His girlfriend, Yulia Korneeva, wrote on Facebook: "My love: so kind, so bright, adventurous and strong. You are loved by so many good people! I wish you could stay with us for way longer."
HGTV network representatives could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.

Complex dynamics (Julia sets 'n stuff).Modus.Ponens wrote:What is it about?perkele wrote:I have to write my silly math thesis. But my brain is rotten.
I have a certain family of rational functions, parametrized by one complex parameter and I have to classify all the possible types of dynamics that can occur, what kinds of Fatou components, and whether the Julia set is connected and so on.
So then I have some fancy looking picture in the parameter space for example, similar like the Mandelbrot set for the family of quadratic polynomials, and many other fancy pictures of the Julia sets that my computer can make. But I have to prove all the stuff that my computer tells me and understand what it really means and why it is like that and connect it with the theory. And somehow I've lost interest in that long ago.
I'd rather go to the forest and become a tree.

Where are Star Fleet Headquarters on Earth? Does it ever tell you?
I sort of assumed that it was somewhere in North America but if you look at the gold emblem in the command centre, the globe is centred more-or-less on Japan.
Certainly, the scenery around the base would match up with it being somewhere in Japan.
You would be able to pinpoint its location by seeing where the alien fortress starts firing down at near the end of the series but the Earth just shows in those shots as a blue ball covered in cloud. No land-masses are visible.

The LxTHW Philosophy
"Less Talk, More Code" summarizes the philosophy. By having students get code working first, and explaining it second, you cut down on much of the difficulty of explaining programming concepts to the uninitiated.
A LxTHW book simply has students do exercises, focuses on practice and rote repetition, and instills an attitude that to learn anything one must be prepared to work at it.
Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for writing Learn Python the Hard Way. I made it through the 42 exercises in 2 days (it was a fun weekend :)
Jen C.
Your book is the best programming book I've read.
