Scooter Headlight Alternative
By Twix
from Gainesville, FL
About Me
I couldn't use my scooter's head lights for electrical complications that had to do with my battery. I found this lighting solution to be very effective. Never really had to use the remote. Most importantly, I never got pulled over by the police at night because of inadequate lighting for my motored vehicle.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Light
By JT Ski Rat
from Kingston, NY
I have used this light for 2 years. It compares in brightness to my 1600 lumen Magicshine. The battery certainly seem to make the stated 1.75 hours on high. It is a very high quality unit. It comes with a handlebar mount. It would be nice if it had a helmet mount. I jury rigged one from an old light. I highly recommend it.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. --- University of North Dakota's Jocelyne Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.) became the new Western Collegiate Hockey Association all-time scoring leader in a 7-0 rout over Bemidji State Saturday at the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The record fell at 8:15 of the second period as Lamoureux made a picture-perfect pass to Layla Marvin (Warroad, Minn.) for a wide-open net to collect her third assist of the game. It was Marvin's first collegiate goal, maybe starting a bit of a locker room controversy as to who gets the game puck.
Lamoureux would finish the game with a career-high six assists, falling one short of the NCAA record held by Jennifer Botterill (Harvard) set on Nov. 8, 2002. Lamoureux assisted on all but one of UND's goals in the game.
North Dakota improves to 20-10-0 on the year and 15-9-0-0 in the WCHA and now within two wins of its all-time program record of 22 wins set last season.
On its second shot of the game, UND's Megan Gilbert (Andover, Minn.) received a nice pass from Jocelyne Lamoureux to send her in one-on-one with the goaltender and she buried past Abby Ryplanski's glove side only 1:47 into regulation.
Monique Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.) quickly made it a 2-0 lead as a shot from the point went off a BSU defenseman and redirected into the net. She would finish the game with a team-high two goals and four points total.
Looking for the record in the first period, Jocelyne Lamoureux had a couple golden opportunities on two power-play attempts as she missed wide on a couple of chances and nearly got a couple assists.
North Dakota carried the 2-0 lead into the intermission but would have liked to have extended upon that lead further as it was a dominant period for the home team, outshooting the Beavers 14-2 and 32-4 in attempted shots. UND had five shots blocked and 13 that were off target.
Becca Kohler (St. Thomas, Ontario) cashed in on a 5-on-3 power play four UND's fourth goal of the game at the 9:30 mark of the second frame and Monique Lamoureux found the back of the net on the pursuing power play at 10:36 to blow the game open.
Jocelyne Lamoureux would pick up her fifth assist of the game at 15:45 of the second period when Meghan Dufault (Winnipeg, Manitoba) banged in a rebound for her first of the game and 14th of the season. The fifth assist set a new career best for helpers in a single game.
Junior Michelle Karvinen (Rodovre, Denmark) scored on a 2-on-1 rush for the lone goal of the third period. She finished with two points in the game and is now one shy of reaching the century mark in her second season.
Freshman Shelby Amsley-Benzie (Warroad, Minn.) quietly collected her third shutout of the season stopping all 21 shots faced. UND ended the game with a 33-21 advantage in shots.
North Dakota went 2-for-4 on the power play while holding BSU scoreless in six attempts.
North Dakota returns to the Ralph Engelstad Arena next weekend in the key WCHA series against Ohio State on Friday and Saturday. Saturday will serve as senior night as UND will honor its eight seniors after the conclusion of the game.

MACON, Ga. (May 9, 2012) – Following their outstanding performances over the past week, ETSU track and field freshmen Marek Navratil (Olomouc, Czech Republic) and Katerina Vodova (Humpolec, Czech Republic) were named Atlantic Sun Field Athletes of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
The men's honor is Navratil's first of his collegiate career, while Vodova's women's selection is her second of the year having also been recognized the week of Jan. 25 during the indoor season. Overall, ETSU has now earned four men's and five women's Field Athlete of the Week honors through its 2011-12 campaign.
At the Bob Pollock Invitational hosted by Clemson University this past weekend, Navratil took first place in the high jump by clearing a career-best height of 2.09m. The freshman cleared all previous bars of 1.84m, 1.89m, 1.94m, 1.99m and 2.04m on his first attempts, making himself, Clemson's Torian Ware, and Appalachian State's Darius Purcell the three remaining competitors in the event. Against the 2.09m bar, Navratil cleared on his first attempt, while Ware and Purcell could not complete the mark through all three of their respective tries.
The high jump victory was Navratil's second of the outdoor season having also taken first place at the Georgia Relays. The Olomouc, Czech Republic native also took first in the event at the A-Sun Indoor Championships, making last weekend's win his third overall through his freshman campaign.
Navratil's new height ranks him inside the NCAA's top 100, and places the freshman No. 1 in the A-Sun.
On Monday and Tuesday at the Lynchburg College Open, Vodova scored a career best 5,208 points in the heptathlon to take third place and move her NCAA ranking to No. 36. The freshman also achieved an A-Sun ranking of No. 2, as she now sits 131 points behind the current NCAA nationals qualifying point total of 5,339.
On her way to the personal best in the heptathlon, Vodova set personal marks in the 200m (26.38) and 800m (2:21.39).
Both Navratil and Vodova will be competing this Friday and Saturday at the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta.

Best Of Interop 2014 Winners Unveiled
Posted by
Steven Hill
April 01, 2014
With 129 entries this year, the Best of Interop judging team was once again fortunate to be challenged with examining a wide variety of progressive and innovative products. We chose to mix things up a little from the start, so you may have noticed that for 2014 we decided to give storage its own category, separate from data center, and added a whole new SDN category to better cover the innovations in these important technologies. We hope you approve.
Our winners this year are a strong line-up of some of the smartest technologies introduced since last year's Interop Las Vegas, and we had some lively debate among the crew when it came to the difficult task of choosing the overall Grand Award winner. We had strong candidates, but when the smoke cleared, we all felt really great about this year's top product. What made it perhaps the most intriguing and compelling choice in years was the fact that the Grand Award will be going to not one vendor, but instead to the tangible results of an open-source collaborative project formed by the top companies in networking, stewarded by The Linux Foundation, and focused on cooperatively advancing the goals of SDN.
Our Grand Prize winning product is undoubtedly in the early stages of development, but what really gives us the greatest sense of pride in this choice is the teamwork among vendors that made it possible. The very legacy of the Interop show itself has at its core the spirit of interoperability, a noble premise that has defined Ethernet networking from the start and that we believe everyone in this industry should embrace and applaud. Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly bring you the top products of Interop 2014. – Steven Hill, Lead Judge, Best of Interop 2014
Grand Award and SDN Winner
OpenDaylight - Hydrogen
Judges: Mike Fratto, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Network Systems, Current Analysis
Ethan Banks, Founder, Packet Pushers Interactive, LLC
OpenDaylight Hydrogen wins the SDN category and overall Best of Interop because it not only embodies a strong product, but also represents what can occur with industry-wide collaboration. Hydrogen is a modular SDN controller that can support any number of southbound interfaces to control both hardware and software networking products as well as northbound interfaces accessible to a variety of SDN-minded applications.
With Hydrogen, vendors, open source developers, enterprises, service providers, or any end user who wishes to invest the time can unlock the power of SDN and NFV. OpenDaylight enables innovation in SDN with far-reaching impact, because developers can focus on building applications that leverage SDN, leaving the mechanics of carrying out programmatic instructions to Hydrogen and its successors.
Already, OpenDaylight has seen integration from vendors as diverse as Cisco, ConteXtream, IBM, Inocybe, and Microsoft; more vendors have promised integration in the future. The Open Daylight Summit was a sold-out event with many standing room only sessions. This demonstrates great interest in the project from not only vendors, but also enterprises and service providers. While Hydrogen is still in the early stages of development, there are three editions available for download and installation aimed at specific audiences to get them up and running quickly. Support is available via a wiki, a number of active mailing lists, and IRC channels occupied by developers around the world.
The other two finalists, Cisco's APIC and VMware's NSX, were strong contenders in their own right, clearly offering solid SDN solutions, and they will be able to attract a number of integration partners, but OpenDaylight's nature as an open source project offers more open and inclusive potential than any single vendor's product. – Mike Fratto
Cloud Winner
VMware - vCloud Hybrid Service
Judges: Charles Babcock, Editor at Large, InformationWeek
David Linthicum, Founder, Blue Mountain Labs
The basic attributes of VMware's vCloud Hybrid Service are well known. They include provisioning virtual servers and other resources in one of VMware's four vCloud Hybrid Service data centers, initiating workloads there and managing those workloads, much as a customer might initiate a workload on the Amazon, Rackspace or GoGrid. All of that is just catch-up work. But VMware has done the hard work of making vCloud not just another cloud service, but one that mirrors and interoperates with the enterprise's virtualized data center.
VMware dominates virtualization in the data center and provides about 80% of the virtualization software in the enterprise market, so there's no surprise here. The achievement is in how relentlessly and thoroughly it's done so. A customer doesn't just initiate a workload under the VMware hypervisor in the cloud; he initiates one, when desired, that's identical to the one running in his data center. The network characteristics are the same. The policies on the firewall and other security measures are the same.
To the system administrator in the enterprise, the new workload may be in the cloud, but it's managed from a familiar vCenter management console and it looks and acts just like those across the data center floor. In particular, VMware's efforts to virtualize the network and assign it as a flexible resource to a virtual machine at the moment of creation means a system administrator can stretch layer 2 and/or layer 3 networks seamlessly from the data center to vCloud Hybrid Service without the need for manual configuration changes.
In the past, moving the workload has been possible into a public cloud, but that necessitated using different tools and monitoring systems and setting up networking on the cloud provider's terms. VMware is making it possible to extend the server, networking and storage envelope inside the data center out into the public cloud, making it an extension of the enterprise. – Charles Babcock
Data Center Winner
Cisco - Nexus 9516 Switch
Judges: Steven Hill, Senior Analyst, Data Center Solutions, Current Analysis
Howard Marks, Chief Scientist, Deep Storage.Net
The data centers of the future will only get more dense and task-focused, and this means that more and more will be expected of the high-performance networks that keep everything flowing. But today, it's not all about horsepower, it's about density and flexibility and keeping your options open as technology changes around us. The new Nexus 9516 in the 9000-series family from Cisco is truly an impressive example of next-generation thinking from a company we've come to expect it from.
The top-of-the-line Nexus 9516 is a 22RU supercar of a data center switch with room for 16 line cards, six fabric modules and nine high-efficiency power supplies. Delivering up to 2,304 ports of 10GbE, or 576 ports of 40GbE (even 1GbE and eventually 100GbE); this monster of a switch was independently tested using all 576x40GbE ports concurrently at full line rate and it passed with flying colors and zero dropped packets. But 9516's beauty goes beyond pure performance; the 60Tbps-capable, mid-plane free chassis design offers a remarkable new degree of flexibility when it comes to mixing and matching front-facing line cards with rear-facing fabric cards to better meet your specific network performance and topology requirements.
But that's not all there is to flexibility these days; you also need to take into account the advances being made in SDN technology. With that particular market still in the process of sorting itself out, the 9516 is capable of operating in stand-alone mode, as well as supporting multiple forms of management automation, programmatic policy and dynamic workload-anywhere models. Yet another force to be reckoned with will be Cisco's emerging Application Centric Infrastructure, a feature that will be available soon on the entire 9000-series, but that's a different conversation for another time.
At first blush, the Nexus 9516 really seems to share the pedigree of the venerated Catalyst 6500 in the nature of its future-proof design and modular flexibility. The one major difference in this iteration of the Nexus line is Cisco's use of Broadcom ASICs in combination with its own custom chips, a marriage that results in line cards with substantially fewer components, higher port densities, increased power efficiency and lower costs -- something for everyone to love. From everything we've seen so far, the Cisco Nexus 9516 may well be the standard by which future data center switches will be judged, and is our well-deserved Data Center category winner for 2014. – Steven Hill

About twenty two years ago I attended a women's conference in Virgina and she was the guest speaker. She spoke on "Transformation" using Joseph's story in Genesis. The message was so profound that to this date I never forgot the impact it had had my life. Yesterday I decided to view the tapes again and after viewing them felt the same impact it had on me twenty years ago. I decided to check the internet today to see what she

When I moved to NC from Florida in 2001 I heard about Mary Ann Brown. We attended a Women of the Word Conference at Ridgecrest in 2002. I was blown away by her messages. She was geniune and real. I have heard her speak since then at the conferences in Ridgecrest as well as the one she spoke at in Georgia in 2010. She really inspired us. She was a rare kind of person. I'm afraid there are very few

Dear Family, You don't know us, but we knew your dear Mary Ann. We had a number of occassions to hear her minister God's Word in such a unique and powerful way through Women of the Word conferences here in Maine and throughout New England. We were so blessed to be able to watch a tribute to her live at Dr. Kennedy's church in Georgia.
She will be sooo missed by countless many. Our prayers are with you all. From the ladies at Searsport Full Gospel Church on the coast in Searsport, Maine.

I remember the wonderful times we had together in the 1980's when Mary Ann was associated with our ministry. We were together on a trip to the Holy Land and did a number of conferences together. It hurts my heart to see her go home so soon. I know she impacted many lives in her lifetime and I still have vidoes of her teaching which was always rich and annointed. I hope all the family members realize what a GREAT WOMEN OF GOD she was. I remember only good and wonderful things about her.

We were truly blessed by Dr.Browns ministry there is none like her we will forever miss her presence and most importantly her administering the word of God we understand that she is probably talking to Jesus face to face now with no more pain and for that we rejoice with you.Much love to the Brown Family Thank You for sharing her with us.

It was my joy to be ministered to by Mary Ann during the years she came to Ridgecrest. She was a strong, reliable voice in the body of Christ; and she will be greatly missed.
May the deep comfort that only God can bring be with each member of the family.

Dr. Mary Ann Brown taught me for more than 20 years at CBU conferences. I am different and changed into more of His Glory because of her faithfulness to train up other women. I pray for God's grace on her precious family that is left behind. She shared often about you as she traveled and expressed her love for you. There is not another one like her. Thank you for sharing her with the body of Christ.

Nana Brown you were truly a light in all of our lives and through Christ. Thank you for sharing your love of the Lord with our family and blessing each one of us.
You have truly earned your place in His Kingdom, It is your time to rest now.
You will be deeply missed and forever loved.

AMD says PS4's APU is "by far the most powerful" it has ever built
The custom APU that will be found inside Sony's PS4 is by far the most powerful AMD has ever produced, the chip maker has said.
APUs (accelerated processing units) are a relative newcomer to the computing world and are designed to offer an additional processing option that operates alongside a machine's CPU.
The custom PS4 APU, which has been designed with Sony, will be at the heart of the console's graphical output.
"Everything that Sony has shared in that single chip is AMD [intellectual property], but we have not built an APU quite like that for anyone else in the market," AMD global business unit head of marketing John Taylor told The Inquirer.
It is by far the most powerful APU we have built to date, it leverages [intellectual property] that you will find in our A-series APUs later this year, our new generation of APUs but none that will quite be to that level of sheer number of cores, sheer number of teraflops."
AMD has also confirmed that a cut-down version of the PS4's Jaguar based APU will be put on sale to the public later this year – albeit without the same number of cores and minus some of Sony's key design input.

No too long ago, if you wanted to make your cycling more comfortable by wearing bicycle shorts, you had to purchase tight-fitting Lycra models. While these offer excellent comfort, some people feel uncomfortable in shorts that appear painted on.
Fortunately for modest cyclists everywhere, this drawback has led to a new type of cycling short called a "baggy," which features all the function and comfort of Lycra shorts while offering the casual fit and earth tones of hiking and walking shorts. Baggies are a great alternative to Lycra shorts and very practical for mountain bikers, tourists and commuters who spend as much time off the bike as on.
When you're strolling around or at work in these shorts, most people won't even realize you're in your biking gear. Plus, these shorts offer the features of regular pants such as pockets, adjustability and comfort. Naturally, they're loaded with features to enhance your cycling, too. In this article we explain what to look for when shopping for and trying on baggies to ensure that you make the best buy.
Baggy shorts are also called double shorts because they have padded bike shorts or briefs inside. This is why, though they look carefree on the outside, they're really high-function pedaling pants with comfort to spare on the inside. Baggies retail at price points from $45 to $140 depending on fabric, features and construction.
Technical Features To Consider
Remember that cycling shorts are made to be worn without underwear. The pad inside the shorts fights bacteria so the shorts are actually more sanitary when worn alone. Equally important, when you wear underwear with your cycling shorts, you end up sitting on the seams in the underwear, which can cause numbness, chafing and pain -- the very things the baggy is trying to eliminate! And, the extra clothing prevents the baggy's cooling feature's from working, which means you're hotter and sweatier.
When you come in to try on shorts, be sure to assume the cycling position, too, so you can feel how the different baggies will fit when you're on the bike. And when you've got them on, move around a good bit to see if they provide enough freedom of movement for your riding style. If you have any questions at all, be sure to ask!

The Lady Bisons are out to overcome the three Ds of basketball _ discouragement, doubt and disbelief.
That's the job facing coach Frank Bennett as his team hits the road for three Atlantic Sun games after losing 63-51 to North Florida Monday night at Allen Arena.
"We have to be a little more consistent," Bennett said. "Offensively, we have to finish our shots around the basket. We have good shooters who have to make their shots.
"We are not too far away from being a good team. We have to fight discouragement, doubt and disbelief. Building confidence is a battle for us right now."
The game was "Think Pink" night with the Lady Bisons players wearing pink shirts during pre-game warm-ups and many in the crowd of 1,396 wearing pink as well. There were a number of giveaways for students ranging from free movie tickets to free textbooks for a semester.
North Florida led 21-11 with 8:47 left in the first half, their first double figure advantage of the game. North Florida extended the lead to 12 points (25-13) with 5:34 to play before intermission.
But at the 4:52 mark the Lady Bisons started a comeback. They outscored North Florida 14-3 starting with a pair of free throws by junior forward Rachel Davis.
Senior guard Dana Carrigan added a lay-up, senior point guard Catie Woods connected on a 3-pointer and junior center Katie Rollins tossed in a lay-up during the scoring run for the Lady Bisons.
Freshman guard Jenna Bartsokas scored the final six points of the first half for Lipscomb with two free throws, a lay-up and a jump shot in the final 1:01 to tie the game at 28-28 at the half.
"That was a really great comeback," Bennett said. "We put ourselves in good position. We had some momentum. I thought we were in good shape coming out.
"Our intensity was not good. We just could not finish under the basket or make a 3-point shot. We usually play pretty hard. We just have to play with a little more confidence when we shoot the ball."
In the second half the Lady Bisons led 30-29 on a jump shot from Jilian Partin with 18:53 left to play in the game.
It was the last time the Lady Bisons would have the scoring advantage, but they didn't give up.
A jump shot by Rollins pulled the Lady Bisons to within two points of the lead (46-44) with 7:18 to go.
The Lady Bisons stayed within striking distance until the final 1:55 when they were outscored 6-1`to close out the win. The biggest scoring advantage for North Florida was the 12-point difference in the final score.
North Florida shot 50 percent from the floor with guard Jennifer Bowen leading the way with a game-high 17 points. Center Shennette Sheffield scored 11 points for the winners.
"They are a very physical and very athletic team," said Bennett. "In both halves we let them do what they wanted to do on offense to start each half.
"They were getting good shots. We weren't pressuring the ball. It is hard to keep on coming out of holes and expending so much energy."
The Lady Bisons were led by Partin with a team-high 16 points and a game-high nine rebounds. Bartsokas added 10 points as Lipscomb shot 33.9 percent (19-of-56).
"I think anybody who knows basketball loves the way Jilian plays," Bennett said. "She plays all out. It is all effort.
"I think of her as the Kyle Vanden Bosch (Tennessee Titans defensive end) of the Lady Bisons. "She gives all out effort each possession and finds some way to get the rebound and the second shot."
North Florida held a 37-29 edge on the boards.
The Lady Bisons are 6-19 overall, 4-7 in the conference. North Florida is 11-12, 6-5 in the A-Sun.

Dear Colleagues:
Over the past several months, I had the privilege to serve on the Chancellor's Complete College Ohio Task Force that focused on ways to improve graduation rates and lessen the time to complete degree requirements. Many of the Task Force's recommendations are underway including:
- Three-year pathways to degree completion;
- Providing increased access to co-op and internships to improve the likelihood of job placement within six months of graduation; and
- Campus-wide efforts to review and revise advising that is targeted to student needs.
Implementing the recommendations is important because the distribution of the state-share of instruction funds will be adjusted to better recognize degree completion via retention and persistence; graduates in STEM-focused programs; regional campus associate degree completion; and undergraduate students who come from out of state, graduate and remain employed in Ohio.
The foundational message of our strategic plan, Vision 2020, is that when our students succeed, we all succeed. In order for them to reach their highest potential, we must all proactively participate in their success. Each interaction is an opportunity to improve retention and persistence, the mainstay to achieve our graduation objective of at least 60%. Proactive participation also means a campus-wide effort to review and provide feedback on important initiatives that affect student success, such as the HLC self-study for the reaffirmation of our regional accreditation and General Education reform.
From the first time our students step foot on campus, to the day they graduate, each member of this University has the ability to positively impact their success. I look forward to our continued efforts to accomplish the goals for student success that we have set for ourselves. I am confident that with your continued active participation in our important campus initiatives, we will help our students achieve their ultimate goal -- graduation with successful job or graduate/professional school placement.
Thank you for all you do to make this a great university, and Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes to you and your families,
William M. "Mike" Sherman
Senior Vice President and Provost/COO

This month I finally made a trip to Salt Lake City for a few days of family history fun. While searching for more information about my ancestors in the Wilcox County Heritage book I found my picture printed. Yep, I almost fell out of my chair and I did want to jump up and down with joy.
My little mystery is finally solved, the bearded, balding man on the left is William Holt Lloyd (1841-1912), brother to my great great grandfather James B. Lloyd (Mr. J.B as he was known is mentioned in several of my earlier blog posts). Yeaaaaaaaa. I finally have names to put to the picture, and I only had to travel to Salt Lake City to find him. Now that I do have a name for him I can see the family resemblance when I look at pictures of J.B. Lloyd.
I have a few more finds I'll post over the next couple of weeks.

Now they are saying it after a gunman opened fire on Friday at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in one of the nation's worst mass killings.
This tragedy may hit a little harder, as policymakers are hinting at action on gun legislation. President Obama choked up during his statement on the incident. "We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this." That's the closest he has come to saying he wants action on gun control legislation in the wake of other shootings.
On Capitol Hill, the reaction was mostly an outpouring of sympathy and grief. House Speaker John Boehner ordered the flags at half mast.
Sens. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., and Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., went further than most lawmakers in their reactions. Feinstein is important because she has already pledged to introduce legislation to bring back the ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004. Obama has said he supports reviving the ban, but therehas been almost no activity from the White House to make it happen. That could change after Friday. Lautenberg is important because has also has called for an assault weapons ban and he sponsors legislation on that same topic.
Feinstein said "weapons of war dont belong on our streets or in our theaters, shopping malls and, most of all, our schools. I hope and trust that in the next session of Congress there will be sustained and thoughtful debate about Americas gun culture and our responsibility to prevent more loss of life.
Lautenberg said, "If we do not take action to address gun violence, shooting tragedies like this will continue."
"The nation is ready for this conversation," said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chimed in.
Those statements went beyond the typical ones from Capitol Hill:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said, The entire nation will continue to stand as a source of support to this community in the days and weeks to come.
Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said, I am shocked and saddened by the horrific news from Sandy Hook Elementary School this morning, and I pray that kids, teachers, staff, and families reach safety as quickly as possible.
Senate Republicans said in a tweet: Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by today's tragic shooting in Connecticut. Please keep them in yours as well.
Yes, anyone within range of a television or an Internet connection cant help but think about the shootings, where the death toll has been estimated as high as 30 and parents are worried sick about their children.
You get much grief but precious little action on guns in Congress. The best shot at legislative action comes from Feinstein's attempt to reinstate the assault weapons ban.
Another hope, but without a lot of momentum, is legislation by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., to tighten up state background-check laws. It has the advantage of piggy-backing on existing laws to improve the databases.
That's cold comfort to gun-control advocates.
If you dont have the human decency at this point to speak up about this issue, youve lost your humanity. This has gone too far. Everybody literally should be sick right now, said Ladd Everitt, communications director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Its time for the president to speak about this. Not long ago we saw the power of the bully pulpit when he spoke out on gay marriage. Its time for him to find his voice and stop cowering to the [National Rifle Association].
His outrage echoes some of the people sounding off on Twitter.
Please let this be a wake-up call for gun control if all of the other shootings haven't been, said one tweet.
As much as I love Americans, today I would be ashamed to [be] a citizen of a nation whose lawmakers have yet to end this madness for good, said another tweeter.
Gun-rights advocates tend to ride out these waves of turmoil in relative silence. They say that tragedies like the Connecticut shooting (and the Aurora shooting) are used as emotional wedges for gun-control groups to win political points.
Advocates on both sides of the gun issue say part of the problem with the public outcry in the wake of such tragedies is that the facts about each individual circumstance arent always known immediately. In some cases, an assault weapon was used. In other cases, a handgun was used. That makes it difficult for anyone lobbying on a specific gun issue to react quickly.
Generally, the lack of immediate facts helps the gun-rights advocates because they can keep their responses general without delving into the areas that they deem dangerous. After the Aurora shooting, an NRA spokesman gave a generic "thoughts and prayers" comment but declined further speculation until all the facts were known. By then, the story had gone cold.

The monumental completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913 secured the City of Los Angeles as an oasis for opportunity. Over decades, growing populations demanded more water development to support the ever-expanding metropolis. However, water in this arid region came with great costs, determination, contestation and labor, which sharply contrasted with the vision of prosperity it provided. Selected from six archival collections, this database offers unique and diverse perspectives into the history of the municipal water system in Los Angeles during the 20th century.
The Catherine Mulholland Collection contains the office files of William Mulholland, superintendent of the Los Angeles Water Department and chief engineer of the Los Angeles aqueduct. This collection offers researchers insight into the unique history of urban development and the evolution of the municipal water system in Los Angeles. Records in the collection chronicle the roles played by politicians and local politics; private business and industry; civic organizations; and local, state, and federal governmental agencies invested in providing water to the city's rapidly growing population. These documents illustrate the circumstances surrounding the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system and the acquisition of water from the Owens Valley.
View Mulholland
Andrae B. Nordskog was a political reformist for issues relating to public utilities, most importantly, California water development. In 1927, he became involved in the Los Angeles-Owens Valley water controversy and published articles and editorials which championed the Owens Valley's cause. Nordskog's research has significantly influenced the way historians have viewed the Owens Valley controversy. In 1930, Nordskog was elected President of the Los Angeles based Southwest Water League (SWL), an organization which studied water needs and resources of the southwest, making recommendations on aqueduct and reclamation projects.
View Nordskog
The Duane L. Georgeson Papers document his professional career with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Metropolitan Water District. During his 53 years as an engineer, Georgeson influenced important water policies and procedures in Southern California, contributing to the political and economical water climate currently in place today. Featured are early reports collected by Georgeson regarding the LA Aqueduct, Owens Valley and the St. Francis Dam disaster, as well as documents from the 1980s and 1990s addressing future water demands, runoff and the declining ecology of Mono Lake due to the diversion of its water.
View Georgeson
In 1939, Southern California had secured additional water from the Colorado River Aqueduct. With two major aqueducts supplying water to the region, The City of Los Angeles and surrounding areas had a growing need for containment and runoff systems within urban and suburban areas. Between 1943 and 1976, Homer Halverson, civil engineer for the United States Army Corps of Engineers, photographed water infrastructure construction sites to monitor new and existing projects. These photographs (many of which are annotated) capture the intricate networks of engineered channels and water management systems throughout Los Angeles and surrounding counties.
View Halverson
By 1924, the Los Angeles Aqueduct was viewed as insufficient to fulfill Southern California's growing water needs. From the 1920s to 1940s California's Water Plan was mired in debate between Northern Californian water-rights owners and Southern California water users. When Governor Goodwin Knight created the California Department of Water Resources in the 1950s, residents from all over California incorporated the Feather River Project Association (FRPA) as a not-for-profit, non-partisan educational association to serve the public interest in state and local water development and conservation. This organization, headquartered in Los Angeles, worked to research and resolve ongoing water-related issues and educate Californians about them.
View Feather River
From 1926 to 1967, Samuel Nelson worked for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, eventually serving as general manager and chief engineer. His contributions span his work during the aftermath of the St. Francis Dam failure in 1928, to overseeing the construction of the second LA Aqueduct from 1965 to 1967. Featured in this collection are letters concerning the Snake-Colorado River Project, organizational histories of the Los Angeles DWP and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and speeches regarding projected water needs and proposed solutions through the year 2000.

Digital is creating sizeable challenges and opportunities for CG&S companies.
Its disruptive power means businesses must understand how it impacts and reshapes every stage of the value chain, from consumers to the enterprise itself.
The theme of the Accenture Technology Vision 2016, is "People First." This describes how technology is enabling people to think, work and create value in completely new ways. For CG&S businesses whose traditional focus has been on manufacturing and distribution, the digitally-driven transformation to a People First approach is nothing short of a seismic shift, fundamentally changing how they engage with their customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Accenture's analysis explores how the five key trends that support the People First agenda will shape the development of CG&S business and operating models:
Intelligent Automation, Liquid Workforce, Platform Economy, Predictable Disruption and Digital Trust
Those that get this right, as digital front-runners, will be able to drive ever-greater consumer engagement and capture a disproportionate share of industry growth.

At this time of year, I can't help but feel bad for summer's underdog: the poor nectarine. Nectarines don't always get a fair break – it's tough constantly being compared and confused with its fuzzy cousin, the glamour hogging peach. Sure, it started as a mutant variety of the peach, but that was 2000 years ago, and at this point the nectarine, with over 100 varieties, is ready to claim some fame for itself. And why not? A big flavor and distinct aroma are only part of nectarine's charm –they are also a very good source of carotenes, potassium, flavonoids, and natural sugars, not to mention lycopene and lutein, phytochemicals that are especially beneficial in the prevention of heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer.
Like a refreshing oasis in the heat of summer, a ripe nectarine can be juicy and succulent…a joy to sink your teeth into. Look for fruit with smooth, unblemished skin. When selecting fruit, avoid extremely hard or dull colored fruit; avoid soft fruit with wrinkled or punctured skin as well. Nectarines will ripen quickly when left unrefrigerated, and even faster in a brown paper bag. I favor pairing nectarines with sweet berries in desserts, but also find that white nectarines - a white-fleshed, mellow variety- can lend a deliciously subtle sweetness to main dishes, as in the light entrée below.
Pan-searing is a wonderful (and fast!) method for preparing fish in which the flavors are quickly sealed in by forming an outer crust of itself. You can also grill the Mahi Mahi for a different but equally delicious taste. Fish and summer fruits go very well together… a fantastically tropical union.
Serves 4.
4 (6-oz.) pieces skinless Mahi Mahi fillets, about 1" thick
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoon canola oil
Rinse and pat fish dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking. Place fish in skillet, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning over only once during cooking, until golden and crusty and just cooked through (follow the "10-minute rule" – 10 minutes total cooking time per 1 inch of thickness). Do not move the fish until it's ready to be turned over. Transfer to a plate.
Serve over rice, topped with the White Nectarine Salsa.
Cook's Note: If the fish is sticking when you try to turn it, it is not ready. Leave it alone for another minute or two and then try again.
2 large, ripe white nectarines, pitted and diced
¾ cup (approximately half of a 15-oz can) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
½ yellow pepper, diced
½ medium red onion, minced
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced*
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon grated lime peel (zest)
1 tablespoons rice vinegar
2½ tablespoons orange juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.
*Be careful when handling chili peppers not to touch face or eyes as they contain oils that can burn the skin. Wash hands with soap afterward (or use gloves when handling them). The heat of chili peppers is contained primarily within the seeds. For more spiciness, add some seeds. For a more mild taste, remove them.

Stephan.Kabisius necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 256 diseños de 47 diseñadores freelance.
Aquilius Research
The logo is for a new company offering software and hardware development/consulting services, with software development in the embedded area being the primary focus.
The company is in the process of being founded from a freelancer that has been working in the industry for many years and is now looking to expand to larger projects with this start-up.
The company should reflect a young, dynamic, can-do attitude while also being considered professional, reliable and quality/customer focused. The goal of the company is to provide solutions for the customers that save them money very fast (by allowing them to do their work faster, more accurately, with less HW resources, by improving usablility, etc.). Optimization is a big focus of the offered software development and consulting services.
Currently the company is developing software predominately in the area of test and measurement instrumentation (specifically software for the semiconductor design and test industry). For the foreseeable future the focus on the semiconductor industry will probably be retained so it would be ok if the logo is related to the semiconductor industry, but something generic high tech or simply professional is also imaginable.
The initial clients are very few, but big companies, so a professional, reliable image is desirable (but I am also open to 'cute' logo ideas ;-)
The logo should probably include the company name (or at least show how logo and company name placed together would look like).
The first part of the company name 'Aquilius' has no special meaning to me - so I am open for any associations. Wikipedia has to say to following regarding the Roman name (as for example in Gaius Aquilius Gallus):
"The nomen Aquilius or Aquillius is probably derived from aquila, an eagle. On coins and inscriptions the name is almost always written Aquillius, but in manuscripts generally with a single l."
Not necessarily looking for something related to the Roman empire or an Eagle but maybe this serves as an inspiration to you.
I added 'Research' to reflect a technical focus of the company. The company has not yet been founded, so if you think the Aquilius by itself (or with a different word) would make a better basis for a company name and logo, feel free to explore it in your design.
Also the company will be based in Germany so the letters 'GmbH' (similiar to Ltd. in the US) are part of the company name. So the full registered name would be 'Aquilius Research GmbH'. Most likely though the logo would probably look better w/o the 'GmbH' (so feel free to omit it in your design but if it helps you can also include it).
Of course the logo should look great for web, print (business cards/stationary) and even T-shirts (i.e. be easily recognizable).
Other that what I mentioned earlier regarding the company's image I don't have any special requirements, just be creative ;-)
PS: Assuming everything works out with this project, there will be a follow up project for a business card design, stationary and maybe also for a web layout.

Fast and the Furious Trilogy, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe is all Fasted and Furioused out for a while. Tell him if the new one is good...
The Fast and the Furious
Brian (Paul Walker) is a good driver who sloppily tries to join in on a world of illegal street racing in LA, and ends up losing his car. After the race Brian saves the underground's 'leader' Dominic (Vin Diesel) from arrest, and is welcomed into the fold, where he serves as a mechanic, and later starts to fall for Dominic's sister (Jordana Brewster). But doe-eyed Brian isn't everything he seems, and the 'gang' starts to suspect he may be up to something.
This marks my first look at The Fast and the Furious. I'm not a fan of car porn (though I understand it coming from Southern Arizona, where the lowriders reign supreme), and there hasn't been a lot of incentive to go out of my way since the film was first released in 2001. Since 2001 director Rob Cohen seems to have gone out of his way to make me not want to see any of his films. The man makes the worst brand of junk food, having somehow tripped over satisfaction when he made Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, which I'm notching up to good casting. The Fast and the Furious follows the director's M.O. almost too the letter—too much stupid plotting and things going boom, not enough originality or intrigue. Cohen's films are like commercials, cramming ninety minutes worth of video and audio information into thirty seconds of screen time. When he slows things down the audience can almost feel his pain as the camera flitters with anticipation of the next speed fix. Sometimes junk food is a good thing, but Cohen's sensibilities give it a bad name.
However, Cohen has a slightly old-school sensibility when it comes to editing and camera movement, which gives him an edge over some of his contemporaries. The action is lamely slick and over-stimulating, but it isn't cut to ribbons, and in general I can usually tell what's going on as cars drive around each other very quickly. Given that, there's still a surprising dullness to the entire film, and the stupid plot can't cover it. Sometimes a good story is dulled by bad action scenes ( Batman Begins), other times the action is good enough to wade through a bad story (just about every Michael Bay film), but Fast and the Furious just doesn't have enough of either good bit to satisfactorily fill the runtime. The casting saves Cohen again to a certain extent, though in the interim most of these actors have gone on to play the same characters so many times it's become a joke. I'm not entirely clear on what could've been done to save the film, but I think another glance at early '70s crime films might've helped. Or maybe an acknowledgement that Katharine Bigelow already made a perfectly good undercover cop with extreme sports type film called Point Break.
2 Fast 2 Furious
Brian (Paul Walker) is back, but following the events of The Fast and the Furious he's now a real criminal instead of an undercover cop. After an illegal race Brian is set up by the cops and brought in again undercover to clear his name. Brian is teamed with Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), and the two ex-cons start a sting against a South American drug lord named Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) using their amazing skills with fast moving vehicles.
Way back in the year 1991 a young black filmmaker was labeled Hollywood's next big thing—John Singleton. Singleton was one of the few first time directors ever nominated for an Oscar, the youngest director ever nominated for an Oscar (twenty three), and the first black man nominated for a best director Oscar. It was a tall order to stand up to, and Singleton dropped from grace with the speed of a lead brick. Following Boyz N the Hood Singleton dabbled in the boring ( Poetic Justice), the trite Higher Learning, and the shockingly average ( Rosewood), until one day he finally hit pay dirt with a piece of pop-corn fluff—a remake of Shaft starring Samuel Jackson. It was a far cry from best director nominations, but it was entertaining, and had a great car chase towards the end. It wasn't a huge surprise when Singleton signed on to direct the sequel to Universal's surprise hit car chase movie, but it was a disappointment by and large.
Singleton does have a professional's eye, an inarguably better eye than the other Fast and Furious directors. There isn't too much genuinely memorable about the film visually, but Singleton doesn't find himself in a rut at any point in the film, even though he repeats many of the more impressive shots. The car chases and races are also probably the best in the series, and feature some good crunchy destruction missing from the other films. This kind of makes 2 Fast 2 Furious the best film in the series by default, but only just. It's still all basically pornography for teenagers, but it's a once promising filmmaker making pornography for teenagers, and not the best pornography for teenagers either.
2 Fast 2 Furious features another better than average cast, though Tyrese Gibson is a pretty poor Vin Diesel stand-in, and pretty annoying throughout the film (Ludacris would've made for a better sidekick I think). Eva Mendes is kind of slumming it, but is wonderful eye-candy (better than the silly neon cars), and Cole Hauser pretty much steals the show as the series' first super villain (even if Hauser looks about as Argentinean as Vincent Price). The biggest problem is again the stupid script, which falters to even lower levels than the first film. The other two films are at least amusing in their silliness, but this one is kind of insulting in regards to awful dialogue, and a general lack of narrative.
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
After a particularly big street racing mash up, juvenile delinquent Sean (Lucas Black) is expelled from school and sent to live with his father in Tokyo Japan. Sean is quickly up to his old tricks, and discovers Tokyo's underground racing scene. The only problem is that Sean has never heard of drift racing before, and thusly cannot compete with the underground's best. But Sean is lucky, because even though he's been placed in a Japanese school without speaking any Japanese (right…), he meets a bunch of English speaking people who offer him some sound advice.
Tokyo Drift is a really dumb movie that makes the other two Fast and the Furious films appear downright subtle and elegant. There isn't a single surprise in the entire film. I don't remember a single character name, in my eyes they just had post-it notes on their heads that read stuff like 'protagonist', 'comic sidekick', 'bad girl with a heart of gold', 'lower level villain', 'mini-boss', 'end-boss', 'incidental villain', and 'role model that's gonna die at the top of the third act'. Yet the film isn't frustrating, and basically defines mindless entertainment. It's overstays its welcome by about fifteen minutes, but it's all pretty harmless. I'm just as willing to rewatch this one as I am to rewatch the first movie.
Director Justin Lin makes a colourful picture, and has a decent grasp of car action. The stunts aren't the most exciting, but it's easy enough to tell what's going on, and Lin takes special care to establish geography. One small advantage Tokyo Drift holds over the other drift race movie I've seen Initial D is that Lin is willing to destroy the pretty cars. Otherwise, the two films are very similar, though I'm not clever enough myself to think of any other ways to film drift racing. The actors are fine, if not a little too devoted to their accents, but is Japan really so short on actors that Universal needed to hire so many Koreans, Chinese, American, and even Latin actors to play Japanese people?
The Fast and The Furious is the oldest of the three films, but it's really not very old at all. It's pretty easy to conclude, however, that it is the weakest of the three hi-def transfers. The overall presentation is a bit hazy, and really no more impressive than many good standard definition releases. Details are generally sharper than a DVD can manage (look at all the sweaty brows), but there are clarity issues, and some of the white edges are a bit jagged. Colours are bright, especially all the silly looking neon cars (seriously, how is neon green cool?), and are well separated, even if contrast and black levels are less impressive.
2 Fast 2 Furious has more night time scenes right off the bat, allowing for more contrast, and is generally a cleaner looking film. The overwhelming clarity of the print is a step up from the hazy first film, but it's still pretty stylized and goofily neon. The increased definition gives away some of the films less impressive car chase digital effects that may have otherwise gone unnoticed, but also give a nice impression of the skin textures of every cast member. Colours begin and end with Devon Aoki's bright pink car, which I think made my television cry. The bouncy hues make for some confusion during the end of the final car chase, where a very green backdrop looks suspiciously like a plain green screen.
Tokyo Drift isn't quite as lifelike as 2 Fast 2 Furious, but features more overwhelming bright colours than either other film, which sometimes plays (seemingly purposeful) havoc with skin tones and background images. The transfer features varying compositions and environments, though once the action gets to Tokyo things seem to mostly take place in the night time, which is well represented by deep blacks, rich blues, and vibrant high lights. There are a few minor inconsistencies in the print, most of which appear to have arisen from varying camera types and frame rates, but there's almost zero noise, and no edge enhancement to speak of. Details are second only to the second film.
All three movies sound better than ever (or so I assume) in new DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. All three films open with a delightful collection of noises; noises that wiggle from channel with rather incredible, if not entirely realistic dexterity. The car races are the main attraction, and are all nicely mixed, melding silence and loudness effectively, insuring the whole thing doesn't just become a jumble of noise. But there is a lot of noise, don't worry, and it'll grumble your LFE all over the room like a faulty dryer.
I'll hazard to guess that The Fast and The Furious has one of the most impressive musical mixes I've ever heard. Most films, even those with really aggressive soundtracks, usually just stick the audio in the front three channels. The rear channels are only part of the equation during really big moments, or they're just echo tracks. The Fast and the Furious fully infuses the goofy dance and hip hop music into every channel. It's a little over whelming, but it's still pretty impressive. 2 Fast 2 Furious is possibly the loudest flick in the set, and features even more abstract sound design, but the musical editions aren't quite as well integrated as those of the first film. Tokyo Drift is the most over-the-top mix, and features some fantastic light touches, such as objects flying past camera and through the channels after the cars demolish them.
The extras on these sets pretty much match the original DVD releases, but have slight augmentations concerning the release of the new film in the series, which is a direct follow-up to part one, apparently. The biggest differences are the U-Control options, which consist of PiP footage that can be found in the featurettes, and tech files on the hero cars. The first film also features a 'Video Mash-Up' option, which is like a home editing tool, while the third film features a 'Custom-Made Drifter' option, which sticks your home made design into a brief scene in the film somewhat convincingly.
The Fast and the Furious starts with another one of Rob Cohen's mind numbingly boring director's commentaries. It's like listening to Uncle Rob talk about his last trip to the driving range right before he passes out into a sugar coma. The facts are occasionally interesting, but the tone is too much, begging my finger to hit the 'audio' button and gain sweet release. I can say whatever I want about Cohen's abilities, and the tone of his commentaries, but he's pretty honest, and obviously knows what he's doing when it comes to the business side of filmmaking (he's actually a pretty successful producer, despite being a bad director). I was somewhat interested in the facts of cuts necessary to get the PG-13 over an R, because such things generally interest me in all cases.
The extras then move onto a series of featurettes. 'Dom's Charger' is a four minute look at the black charger that will grace the first and latest films in the series, and is kind of an ad for the new movie. 'Quarter Mile at a Time' is a ten minute history of street racing, taking things back all the way to the first days of automobiles, and running us through professional drag racing, and up to the modern day (or at least 2001).
This is followed by eight deleted and extended scenes, all with a commentary option from director Rob Cohen. The scenes themselves are rough, dirty, and non-anamorphic, and feature temp sound. The majority of the scenes have been deleted for reason of unneeded information, and are not missed in the final cut. In all, the scene last about six minutes. This is followed by five 'Hot Off the Street' scenes, which are also non-anamorphic, rough and dirty, though no Cohen commentary. Then there's an elongated ending under the title 'More Than Furious'.
The catalogue extras move on to include Paul Walker's public service announcement (00:30), 'The Making of The Fast and the Furious' (18:00), 'Tricking Out a Hot Import Car' (19:15), 'Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious' (also on the 2 Fast 2 Furious disc), 'Multiple Camera Angle Stunt Sequence' (eight angles), 'Movie Magic Interactive: Special Effects (three angles), 'Featurette on Editing for the MPAA' (about avoiding an R rating, 04:30), 'Visual Effects Montage' (03:45), two storyboard comparisons (06:50), a 2 Fast 2 Furious sneak peek, four music videos, and a trailer.
2 Fast 2 Furious starts with a dull commentary track with director John Singleton. Singleton slips some actual information into the mix, but mostly describes the on screen action, what the audience should be thinking based on the on screen action, and how great everyone did. Some of the technical bits are interesting, but can be found elsewhere in the extras.
Another parade of new featurettes starts with the all new 'Fast Females', a quick (eight minutes) look at all the lead women of the entire series. 'Hollywood Impact' runs thirteen minutes and concerns street racing and car stunts throughout film history, or to be more specific, Universal Studio's film history. Interview subjects also include critics Leonard Maltin and Joel Stien, and films and television shows covered include American Graffiti, Back to the Future, Magnum, PI, Smokey and the Bandit, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, the Bourne series, and the Fast and the Furious series. These are the only two extras presented in HD, besides the U-Control options.
The catalogue extras feature a short prelude film that covers Brian's escape onto the lamb after the events of the first film (six minutes), a collection of deleted and extended scenes complete with introductions from the director and editor (six minutes), outtakes (three minutes), 'Inside 2 Fast 2 Furious' (ten minutes), three 'Actor Driving School' featurettes (06:30), a quick look at the process of 'Tricking Out a Hot Import' with some Playboy bunny (03:20), 'Super Charged Stunts' (05:30), 'Making Music with Ludacris' (the making of a music video, five minutes), three 'Actor Spotlights' (seven minutes), three 'Car Spotlights' (nine minutes), two extended 'Furious Afterburners' (the same extended scenes, 03:30), and some trailers.
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift also starts with a director's commentary, and Justin Lin is the best of the group. Lin is personable, relatively informative, honest (he thinks the cars look pretty silly just like me), and pretty consistent. I also appreciate the director's comparisons between his incredibly modern film and classic spaghetti westerns, along with his mention of some of the cameo actors' histories. It's still not a good movie, but Lin knew what he was doing for the most part, and seems like a nice guy.
'Making of the Fast Franchise' starts the new edition extras. It's a quickish (17:00) rundown of the whole series, edited in a made-for-TV special fashion, and it repeats a lot of the same footage already found on the other discs' featurettes. 'Drift: The Sideways Craze' (one hour) is sort of a commercial/mini-documentary about the art of drift racing. A handful of drifters of differing ages and experience levels are featured, and the facts are presented in a reasonably entertaining manner. It's a solid extra for sure, but not particularly re-watchable for laymen like myself.
Then the extras get familiar, starting with eleven deleted scenes, all presented non-anamorphic standard def with optional Justin Lin commentary. The scenes run about eighteen minutes, and were all pretty much deleted for pacing purposes. The original behind the scenes featurettes include 'Drifting School' (07:30), 'Cast Cam' (04:20), 'Big Breakdown: Han's Last Ride' (08:30), 'Tricked Out to Drift' (11:00), 'Welcome to Drifting' (06:20), 'The Real Drift King' (03:40), 'The Japanese Way' (09:45), and two music videos.
I'm not a very fond of this series, but these three films are entertaining enough, and look and sound almost perfect in 1080p and DTS-HD Master Audio on Blu-ray Ddisc. Fans probably already bought the set, so my words will fall on deaf ears. The extras are time consuming, but not exactly the most substantial things on the planet, save a few of the newer additions, which might be cause enough for some folks to double dip.

I have no interest in Tokyo Drift. Never seen it. Look, these are racing films, but we do enjoy the same people in the cars. 2 Fast was whatever. Good car stuff, less story. the new one is entertaining and the film they should have made back in 2003. Interestingly, despite an 8 year gap, it's mentioned in Film #4 that it's only been 5 years.

I found Tokyo Drift better than the first and especially the second. 2 Fast 2 Furious feels like it was written by a High School motorhead reject that knows nothing about cars and a script writer still in the process of understanding how to write a script.At least Tokyo Drift has somewhat strong characters and a nice plot arc that makes sense. 2 Fast 2 Furious was just silly all around.
On another note, if I hear Paul Walker say "bro" one more time. I am going to lose it!
The new one is as good as Tokyo Drift and probably better than the first. Of course it has laughable scenes in it. As does the whole series. The Chevy Chevelle is so sexy and full of amazing car sounds. But it's just an average film. Nothing to run out and see.
Overall I completely agree with you Gabe, on the series being "meh".

I liked Tokyo Drift and F&F better than the first 2 films. Paul Walker has grown a lot as an actor if you watch the the first 2 films (especially the second) and then the latest sequel, he's nowhere near as annoying.

I got the 1st one for free when I went to Universal Studios Hollywod a few years ago but I never bothered to see it. But looking at those hot sexy girls, I'll give it a shot.

The first was ok, the second very ordinary and the third not bad at all.

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) Ryan Broekhoff scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help Valparaiso cruise to a 69-46 win over Northern Illinois on Tuesday.
The Crusaders (2-0) led by nine at halftime but blew the game open by hitting a trio of 3-pointers in the first 2:24 of the second half and leading by 25 as they pulled away. Two of the 3s came from Ben Boggs, who finished with 11 points.
Northern Illinois (0-2) was led by Aksel Bolin with 10 points and Daveon Balls, who had nine, but the Huskies shot only 29 percent (19 of 65) for the game - including just 4 of 18 from 3-point range.

If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky. The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.
Unfortunately our dealer agreements with Meade, Coronado, Celestron and Orion only permits us to ship their telescopes and accessories to addresses inside the United States of America.

Even a little exercise has health benefits
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study shows that even low levels of weekly exercise - below currently recommended levels -- has major health benefits. In the study, 30 minutes of brisk walking three days per week was enough to drive down blood pressure and improve overall fitness in a group of healthy sedentary adults.
For optimum health, adults are currently recommended to engage in 30 minutes of moderately strenuous exercise on at least five days of the week. But few people achieve this level of weekly activity, often citing lack of time as the reason.
Dr. Mark A. Tully, of University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, and colleagues designed a study to see if exercising at a level lower than currently recommended would boost overall fitness and heart health.
A total of 106 healthy but sedentary adults between the ages of 40 and 61 years participated in the 12-week study. The subjects were randomly assigned to a brisk 30-minute walk 3 days per week (44 subjects); a brisk 30-minute walk 5 days per week (42 subjects); and the remainder did not change their lifestyle (the non-walking control group).
After 12 weeks, Tully's team found that blood pressure and waist and hip girth fell significantly in both the 3-day walkers and 5-day walkers. Overall fitness also increased in both walking groups. In contrast, no changes occurred in the non-walking control group.
The findings of the study appear in the September edition of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The authors note that the degree of positive change in blood pressure and waist and hip size seen in the 3- and 5-day walkers is enough to make a difference to an individual's risk of heart disease.
"These results may encourage people who feel they do not have time to exercise on 5 days each week to consider finding time to commit to a lower weekly target of exercise," Tully and colleagues conclude.

Forever Younger Skincare Tips
One little known skincare tip is more is better, when it come to exfoliation. Women tend to over moisturize and under cleanse. This leads to a build up of dead skin cells and dull inactive skin.
Exfoliation happens with proper cleansing. Professional enzyme treatments are super exfoliators and offer skin a nutritional value. Enzymes not only exfoliate but also re-texturize and polish the skin surface. They can be layered to intensify the process. An exfoliation routine will support fresh and healthy looking skin. Moisturizers will be more effective because they can penetrate deeper into the skin.
So prevent looking aged, with these forever younger tips no matter what your age.

Greenie's overlap skirt from leftovers
Added Sep 29, 2012
by cynthia-1
Wollongong, Aust...
I had leftover fabric from My sister's a greenie! dress because at the time that I bought the fabric, I wasn't even sure exactly what type of dress she had in mind. When I found this fantastic retro 'Very Easy Very Vogue' pattern (circa 1993) at the op-shop, it was love,love, love and I thought the green sateen would have the right structure for it.
I made Skirt B (see last pic) : a knee-length, semi-fitted, slightly tapered skirt with waistband, front pleated overlay and concealed side hemline slit. Instead of a dress zipper, I decided to insert an exposed zipper with metal teeth, to bring the skirt out of the 90s and into 2012!
In the photos, I am wearing this skirt with my Sorbetto with lace cap sleeves top which I made earlier this year. The skirt has a bit of a corporate feel to it and even the pattern envelope illustrations scream "corporate". I'm probably not going to get much wear out of it at my workplace, so I'm going to give it to my sister. I'm planning to make this skirt again, in a less structured, more flowing fabric and hopefully it will look more casual.
Material Notes
Premium cotton sateen (green) 127cm wide ($12.99/metre from Spotlight – excess fabric from "My sister's a greenie" dress) interfacing; 18cm metal-teethed zipper (from the op-shop); hook and eye; thread;
Pattern notes also suggest wool crepe, tissue faille and challis.

I'm looking at both skirts you've made from this pattern. Yeah, the green looks a bit "corporate" or "business-y". Mainly because of the sharp pleats and the bluish green. They're both beautiful skirts though. Gorgeous job on both skirts.
