Stop the presses and alert all cardiovascular surgeons. Dunkin Donuts is launching a new breakfast sandwich Friday, and it's on a doughnut.
Yes, the doughnut chain has in its own words "gone and changed breakfast forever. Again."
The new sandwich consists of slices of bacon and a well-peppered fried egg between two halves of a glazed donut. But they left out the cheese. What gives, Dunkin' Donuts?
The sandwich is listed on the company's website as having 360 calories and 20 grams of fat. But that's not the most caloric thing on the breakfast menu -- not by far.
The breakfast chain also serves a Big N' Toasted sandwich on buttery Texas toast with an egg, cheese and bacon. This sandwich comes in at 530 calories, while the sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich has 620 calories.
It's safe to say that if Homer Simpson were real, he'd be doing somersaults outside of Moe's Tavern.
Would you try the new doughnut sandwich? Let us know in the comments below.

Greetings Everyone,
Not been here in quite a while, so first off all the best for the New Year!
I could do with a little input from the experts I know frequent AntiOnline. I have been experiencing a problem recently with my PC. It boots up and runs perfectly fine but then seems to lock up at some random point.
Now I say seems to as the mouse pointer just doesn't move but the keyboard responds to num lock and caps lock. Interestingly, at intermittent points the mouse pointer will unfreeze and allow me to briefly move it, but then freezes again. If I stick at it long enough I can get to the point where I can shutdown safely.
I have got AVG and SpyBot S&D and AdAware and A2 and HijackThis and done scans (in safe mode) with upto date definitions etc and turned up nothing, narda, zilch.
Any suggestions?

New Atlantic Pedaler Magazine offering Local Cycling Awards
A new online Atlantic Canada Cycling magazine is up and running. Atlantic Pedaler is the brain-child of Ken Trenholm of Summerside, P.E.I.. Trenholm's passion for cycling was evident this past year as he organized the Annual P.E.I. Biking for Breakfast 260 km tip-to-tip fundraiser, founded the Summerside Cycling Club, and was elected President of Cycling P.E.I. in November . . . now Trenholm is taking on a new bicycle-powered challenge: a 100 per cent Atlantic Canada online cycling magazine.
"One of the goals of this magazine is to be inclusive to all types of cycling disciplines (road, mountain, bmx, cyclo-cross, touring, recreational, racing, para) in the hopes of offering a uniformed voice for Maritime cyclists," says Trenholm. Trenholm defines "inclusive" to translate into the need for the cycling community to look at cycling being something in-addition-to racing such as recreational, touring, and commuting. And for each type of cycling to be valued for what it offers to the total Maritime body of cycling.
Atlantic Pedaler offers original Maritime opinions and articles, free bi-weekly electronic newsletter, local profiles of riders and clubs, web news feeds, as well as launching a number of Awards. Visit Atlantic Pedaler at www.atlanticpedaler.com.

The annual Big West coaches poll was announced Thursday and Troy Buckley's Long Beach State squad has been picked to finish third in the conference. The Dirtbags went 29-27 last season.
Predictably, they trail Fullerton and UC Irvine. The Titans had 99 points and nine first-place votes and the Anteaters 82 points and one first-place vote. The Dirtbags followed with 75 points.
Despite already losing two top returning pitchers to injury, Long Beach returns six veterans from last year's staff as well as all but two starters from a year ago, led by third baseman Juan Avila and shortstop Jeff McNeil.
Following the Dirtbags are Cal Poly (68 points), UC Santa Barbara (58), first-year member Hawai'i (57), UC Riverside (38), Cal State Northridge (34), UC Davis (25), and Pacific (14).
The Dirtbags open the season with a series at Vanderbilt starting February 15, then play 22 of their next 31 games at Blair Field. They open the home slate against Arizona Feb. 19-20 and Valpo Feb. 22-24.
Softball team picked to finish second
Defending Big West champions Long Beach State were picked to finish second in the annual Big West Coaches Poll, behind the league's newcomer, Hawaii.
The Rainbow Wahines, who are ranked in the Division I preseason Top 25, tallied 76 points with four first-place votes to edge the 49ers, who also had four first-place votes and 73 points. Pacific was picked third with 58 points and one first-place vote.
Hawaii, returning to the Big West for the first time since 1996, is coming off a great 2012 in which the team opened the season with a 21-game win streak and finished the season 44-9. They return four players who started every game last season.
UC Santa Barbara (42), UC Davis (51), Fullerton (33), Cal Poly (24), UC Riverside (22) and Cal State Northridge (16) follow in the poll.
Kim Sowder's 49ers return seven of its top nine hitter and first-team pitcher Erin Jones-Wesley, who was 21-13 last season with a 2.02 ERA.
The 49ers open the season at the UCLA Invitational next weekend, facing Wright State, Texas A&M and Cal State Bakersfield.
Women's basketball
UC Davis outscored visiting Long Beach State 8-2 in the final two minutes to earn a 68-62 victory in their Big West game.
LBSU fell to 11-9 overall and 4-4 in the Big West. UC Davis improved to 9-10 and 4-4.
Bianka Balthazar scored 16 points and had four steals to the lead the 49ers. Center Devin Hudson added nine points and 14 rebounds. Alex Sanchez had eight points and six assists.
UC Davis got 29 points from guard Sydnee Fipps, who went 10 for 20 from the field. Cortney French scored 17 points. Alyson Doherty had nine rebounds.
Neither team shot well. The 49ers finished 23 of 63 for 36.5 percent. The Aggies were 21 of 57 for 36.8 percent.
The outcome was decided in the final two minutes after Hudson made one free throw to tie it at 60.
Doherty converted a three-point play on a layup with 1:40 to go to put UCD ahead 63-60. Balthazar countered with two free throws to cut the deficit to 63-62 with 1:32 left, but Long Beach State would not score again.
A layup by Fipps extended the Aggies' lead to 65-62 with 1:07 left.
After a missed free throw by the 49ers, the Aggies closed it out with three more free throws in the final seconds.
Long Beach State is back in action on Saturday when it heads to Stockton for a 5 p.m. Big West showdown against conference-leading Pacific.
Women's tennis
Long Beach State defeated Cal State Fullerton 5-1 at Fullerton to improve to 2-0 overall and in Big West play.
Cal State Fullerton dropped to 1-4 overall and 0-1 in league.
Freshman Emilia Borkowski was the only Titan to register a win in the singles lineup. The native of La Crescenta was moved up to No. 4 in the lineup, and defeated Eva Rodriguez, 6-4, 7-5.
No. 1 Klaudia Malenovska, No. 3 Sarah Cantlay, No. 5 Anna Jeczmionka (LBSU) and No. 6. Karolina Rozenberg earned victories for the 49ers.

I have been trying to get my cisco 806 broadband router to work properly for some time now.
Default IOS specs. which had the Default IP firewall
I can install it but when I disable mgt from the wan it still allows mgt from the web. (not good)
I have been using cisco router web setup just to get it configured and then I'd modify it via CLI on via console of telnet.
I thought since I had never upgraded the IOS, that I'd try that.
I have sucessfully upgraded from
IOS c806-o3sy6-mz.122-4.YH.bin (Release 12.2(1)XE)
IOS c806-k9osy6-mz.123-1a.bin (12.3.1a) with the IP/FW PLUS 3DES
I used the hardware-software compatability matrix, so I know that IOS is supported.
The thing is... now when I go to use the CRWS (cisco router web setup) it says that the router is not meant to use the CRWS.
So, I went and found the new CRWS to upgrade to and downloaded it, but have been unable to find documents on how to upgrade the CRWS. (delete the old and install the new) All the file has is the files that should be on the router. The html pages and the java pages and devfault config, etc.
Anyone know how to do it? I know that there is a way to upgrade within the CRWS, but if you can't use it... how else would you do it?! You'd think it'd be similar to the IOS upgrade, where you delete the old IOS from flash and install the new one. The CRWS isn't even listed in the flash... where would it be located?!
The most I can find is how to get to the CRWS...
EDIT: Ok I found where it was... by just messing around a bit.
The CRWS is located in webflash NOT flash. I can see all the files there... now how to copy them all over? LoL Gotta love unfamiliar territory.... I know how to configure the cisco routers... but not the broadband routers! They are different...
Aha! Found it! now to see if it works...

Well.. This *is* why if you're in a regulated environment, wooden boxes aren't as popular. However, consider that plastic is commonly used in all manner of electronic equipment that gets a UL listing. Typically it requires careful design (since UL labs will try to set it on fire).. Such things as a metal floor plate might be required. (there's also the whole brominated flame retardant issue) On the other hand, at home, maybe this is just an example of "dual function".. Supercomputer by day, room heating woodstove by night. Jim

Guns are game changers
Wick's World
Last week as I was finishing my column about our exciting vacation to the Hawaiian Island of Oahu and Pearl Harbor in particular, a mentally ill Navy veteran and former civilian employee at the Naval Yard in Washington, D.C., went on a senseless killing spree. I immediately focused my attention on what I felt was a serious breach in security at American military institutions. A mere 48 hours prior to the "incident" at the Naval Yard, seven of our vacationing party was allowed on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base without even having to show a driver's license. The only thing necessary was the flashing of a Civilian Naval Contractor's ID card and our van was whisked through the gate unsearched. Like many Americans, I instantly labeled the Washington, D.C., Naval Yard incident as a terroristic attack contributed to yet another lapse in security.
After reading last week's column, a friend of mine from Kansas City pointed out the important issues in the story; issues I totally overlooked. True, I wrote this moments after the shootings occurred, so I was only working with a small bit of information and a whole lot of misinformation. Sometime later as the story played out, Cathy, a very dedicated fan of "Wick's World" commented on the tendency to place the blame on a lack of security at our military installations. I called my friend, the civilian naval worker, whose pass got us into Pearl Harbor Naval Base, and asked if there had been any changes in security since the shootings.
"Nope, the military didn't consider it at all," he stated.
Neither did Cathy, a social worker who has run a suicide hotline for over 30 years and has a lifetime of experience dealing with the mentally ill. I am going to allow her to relate her reply to my readers in her own words.
"P.S. Wick, liked your article as always! The thing that strikes me about the shootings on the Naval base is that if it hadn't happened there, it would have happened at the local super market, school or anywhere that guy happened to be. The Naval base was just a happenstance. Don't you think? But the main thing is there were so very many red flags for mental health problems with him over and over again starting with the voices — which he kept telling people about. That does not get better, unless treated properly. He was paranoid, he was hallucinating, delusional, and feeling persecuted ... a time bomb, WITH THE GUN. The Naval base part was sad, but it would have occurred anyhow. We have thousands of people walking around psychotic, and we don't need to take their rights away, there is nothing wrong or dangerous about 'being crazy' on the street, but when they have a gun, that's a different story. Damn these guns. It changes the game, that's for sure."
Whether you are an NRA advocate or believe we should have stricter gun laws, Cathy hit the mark with her closing sentence; "It changes the game, that's for sure."
The perpetrator shot up his own house. This guy left warning signs all over the place and when he asked for help, he was simply turned away. This is a mental health issue. If we as a country continue to treat this as simply a "more guns vs. less guns issue" we can expect the results to be more of the same.

One person was killed and traffic was backed up for miles following an early Thursday morning collision on the 134 Freeway in Toluca Lake, officials said.
At least two vehicles were involved in the crash on the westbound side of the freeway at Cahuenga Boulevard, which was reported to the Los Angeles Fire Department around 4:30 a.m.
Two people suffered minor injuries in the crash, while a third was dead at the scene, officials told the L.A. Times.
More than two hours after the accident, only the carpool lane of the westbound 134 was open.

Ideal Sans
Ideal Sans, a handmade typeface for a machine-made age.
Setting aside the easy pursuit of digital perfection, Ideal Sans favors handmade forms that help it achieve different goals: warmth, craftsmanship, and humanity.
The first sans serif typefaces, designed in the early nineteenth century, bore the names of ancient cultures — "Egyptian," "Ionic," "Doric", "Gothic" — even though these typefaces shared none of the qualities of genuine lettering from the ancient world. 2,500 years earlier, Greek inscriptions were taut and lively; by comparison, these nineteenth century printing types were impassive and deliberate. It would be nearly a century before typefounders would take an interest in inscriptional lettering, and begin to imbue their sans serifs with classical proportions, fluid kinesthetic movements, and references to calligraphic form. This new approach was nurtured by the calligrapher Edward Johnston, designer of the London Underground's signature alphabet in 1916, and by Eric Gill, whose eponymous sans serif was produced by the Monotype Corporation a decade later. Because these designs were rooted in classical form, and their designers dedicated to traditional crafts, the new style became known as the Humanist sans serif. Nonetheless, these designs were often products more of the machine than the hand, chilly and austere designs shaped by unbending rules, whose occasional moments of whimsy were so out of place as to feel volatile and disquieting.
Ideal Sans began as an attempt to reclaim the Humanist style, and to restore its missing humanity. Like all Humanist designs, Ideal Sans has classical rather than industrial proportions (its capitals vary greatly in width, from the almost circular O to the half-square E), and it favors traditional forms like the two-storey lowercase a and g. Unlike most sans serifs, it is allergic to geometry: the design contains almost no straight lines, very few symmetries, and it takes every opportunity to resist formulaic rules. These policies make Ideal Sans engaging at large sizes, and help it to perform at small ones, giving the design a warm, organic, and handmade feeling.
Ideal Sans ScreenSmart: High-Performance Webfonts
Ideal Sans ScreenSmart is an adaptation of the family specifically engineered for the screen, and available for use on the web through Cloud.typography. To ensure outstanding rendering on screen at sizes as small as nine pixels, we carefully adjusted the fonts' fit, color, and proportions, and orchestrated their progression of weights so that each style is distinctly different from its neighbors. Like all ScreenSmart fonts, Ideal Sans ScreenSmart is equipped with a set of detailed instructions called "hints," which tell its outlines how to adapt themselves to pixel grids at different point sizes, to ensure that the fonts always retain both their legibility and their personality.

Great Infographic -- but I wonder how there are even half a million FB users in China? FB is not permitted in China --
And secondly, are there more infographics like this one? Perhaps ones focused on WB regions, such as the EAP, or the SEA subregion? We would much appreciate it. Thanks for posting this, Paul
Thank you for your comment
Thank you for your comment/questions. I am not aware of similar infographics broken down by WB regions, but if I come across any, I will send them your way.

Mad Moxxi vs. Captain Scarlett – Cosplay Clash
Mad Moxxi's on a hot streak, which makes sense since everything about her is hot. But now Captain Scarlett has got her eye on Moxxi's spot at the top.
Katy-Angel's Moxxi certainly has some moxie, given that she's halfway to getting a spot in our Cosplay Hall of Fame. Will she be able to outsmart the wily Captain Scarlett in order to move on?
Stella Chuu's Captain Scarlett is a swashbuckling lass who has a penchant for lying, but then immediately telling the truth. Will she be able to boast a win in the Cosplay Clash later on?
It's up to you to decide who will win this Cosplay Clash between the foxy Moxxy and the fair captain! Voting closes on June 12 10AM PST.
Rules of Cosplay Clash:
Fans can vote once per hour for their favorite cosplayer. If a cosplayer remains the reigning champ for seven straight matches, they are retired to the Arcade Sushi Cosplay Hall of Fame. With so many great cosplayers out there, we have to give other cosplayers a chance.

Diane von Furstenberg and the Tale of the Empress's New Clothes (Fashion Fairytale 3) by Camilla Morton is officially released today, December 4th. The first two books in this series were released in 2011, Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty (I posted about it here) and Manolo Blahnik and the Tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker. These are admittedly aimed at a different audience that the one that forms the majority here at SurLaLune!
Book description:
The third book in Camilla Morton's unique Fashion Fairy Tale Memoir series, Diane von Fürstenberg and the Tale of the Empress's New Clothes wraps the life story of the iconic designer, international jetsetter, and one-time Andy Warhol muse around one of our most beloved and enduring 'once-upon-a-time' fables. Royalty and fashion collide in this delightfully fresh take on the classic Emperor's New Clothes tale written by London-based fashion writer Morton (American Vogue, The Wall Street Journal) and art directed exclusively by Diane von Fürstenberg herself—as the iconic designer helps the story's young Empress discover all the colors, shapes, and sizes of inspiration, in a grown-up fairytale that teaches women how to feel creative and empowered.
About the Fashion Fairy Tale Memoir Series
Each book in this inspired series from fashion writer Camilla Morton inventively reimagines one of our favorite "Once Upon a Time" stories, blending with it the real-life story of a famed fashion designer. Lushly illustrated by the designers themselves, these tales illuminate each iconic individual's creative magic while also celebrating his or her unique life and career. The result is an intriguing combination of whimsy and memoir.
In this contemporary twist on The Emperor's New Clothes, Diane von Furstenberg's iconic prints and bright color palette are reworked with signature DVF humor, grace and immense charm. Her illustrations reveal not only all that is regal about her, but all that is very real, as well.

Revision as of 15:01, 14 June 2012
Object-to-JSON Binding Layer
New in EclipseLink 2.4 is support for converting objects to and from JSON. This can be useful when creating RESTful services, as JAX-RS services often accept both XML (application/xml) and JSON (application/json) messages.
Same Flexibility as Object-to-XML Mapping
JSON binding is compatible with most existing MOXy extensions. This includes:
- External bindings file
- Dynamic JAXB
- Extensible models
XML and JSON Messages with One Set of Mappings
Both an XML message such as:
<foo id="123"> <bar>Hello World</bar> </foo>
and a JSON message such as:
{ "foo" : { "id" : 123, "bar : "Hello World" } }
can be supported by a single object model:
@XmlRootElement public class Foo { @XmlAttribute private int id; @XmlElement private String bar; }
No Additional Compile-Time Dependencies
JSON binding does not require any additional compile-time dependencies above and beyond what is required for normal JAXB usage.
Easy to Use with JAX-RS
EclipseLink JSON support makes it easy to implement MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter classes for use with RESTful web services.
Marshalling and Unmarshalling with JSON
Adapting your application to produce and consume JSON is as easy as setting a property on your JAXB Marshaller or Unmarshaller:
import org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.MarshallerProperties; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.MediaType; ... Marshaller m = jaxbContext.createMarshaller(); m.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON); Unmarshaller u = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller(); u.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON); ...
The MEDIA_TYPE property can also be specified in the Map of properties used during creation of the JAXBContext. In this case, Marshallers and Unmarshallers created from that context will automatically use the specified media type:
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(); properties.put(JAXBContextProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON); JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] { Employee.class }, properties); Marshaller jsonMarshaller = ctx.createMarshaller(); Unmarshaller jsonUnmarshaller = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
JSON Data Types
XML has one datatype, text, whereas JSON differentiates between strings, numbers, and booleans. MOXy supports these datatypes automatically:
@XmlRootElement public class Address { @XmlElement private int id; @XmlElement private String city; @XmlElement private boolean isMailingAddress; }
{ "address": { "id" : 1, "city" : "Ottawa", "isMailingAddress" : true } }
JSON doesn't have the concept of attributes, so by default anything mapped as an @XmlAttribute will be marshalled as an element. During unmarshal, elements will trigger both the attribute and element events, to allow either the mapped attribute or element to handle the value. If there is an element and attribute with the same name, this will cause problems.
Users will be able to override the default behavior by providing an attribute prefix, which will be prepended to the attribute name during marshal, and recognized during unmarshal. In the example below the number field is mapped as an attribute.
jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.JSON_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX, "@"); jsonMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.JSON_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX, "@") ;
{ "phone" : { "area-code" : "613", "@number" : "1234567" } }
The JSON_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX property can also be specified in the Map of properties used during creation of the JAXBContext. In this case, Marshallers and Unmarshallers created from that context will automatically use the specified prefix:
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(); properties.put(JAXBContextProperties.JSON_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX, "@"); JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] { Phone.class }, properties);
Support for No "Root Element"
JSON supports documents with no root element:
{ "area-code" : "613", "number" : "1234567" }
As opposed to the corresponding JSON with a root element "phone":
{ "phone": { "area-code" : "613", "number" : "1234567" } }
During marshal, if no @XmlRootElement annotation is present, then the marshalled JSON document will not have a root element. If @XmlRootElement is specified, the root element can be omitted from the JSON output by setting the following property on the JAXB Marshaller:
marshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.JSON_INCLUDE_ROOT, false);
By default it will be assumed that the document has a root element. If your documents do not contain root elements, you should set the following property on your Unmarshaller. Also note that if there is no root element, you must specify the Class being unmarshalled to.
unmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.JSON_INCLUDE_ROOT, false); JAXBElement<SearchResults> jaxbElement = unmarshaller.unmarshal(source, SearchResults.class);
By default, when marshalling to JSON, empty collections are marshalled as [ ]:
{ "phone" : { "myList" : [ ] } }
The JSON_MARSHAL_EMPTY_COLLECTIONS Marshaller property can be set to false to change this behavior so that empty collections are not marshalled at all:
jsonMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.JSON_MARSHAL_EMPTY_COLLECTIONS, Boolean.FALSE) ;
{ "phone" : { } }
Root-Level Collections
JSON documents can have root level lists. If a class Root has an @XmlRootElement(name="root")' specified, we could marshal as follows:
marshaller.marshal(myListOfRoots, System.out);
[ { "root" : { "name" : "aaa" } }, { "root" : { "name" : "bbb" } } ]
Since the root element is present in the document, we can unmarshal using:
If Root does not have an @XmlRootElement, or if JSON_INCLUDE_ROOT has been set to false, the marshal would give this output:
[ { "name":"aaa" }, { "name":"bbb" } ]
Since the root element is not present, we would need to provide the class to unmarshal to:
unmarshaller.unmarshal(json, Root.class);
JSON doesn't have the concept of namespaces, and by default namespaces/prefixes will be ignored during marshal and unmarshal operations. This default behavior could be a problem if there are multiple mappings with the same local name in different namespaces as there would be no way to distinguish between those mappings.
In this case, the user can supply Map of namespace->prefix (or an instance of NamespacePrefixMapper) to the Marshaller and Unmarshaller, and namespace prefixes will appear in the marshalled document, prepended to the element name. This prefix will be recognized during unmarshal, and the resulting Java objects will be placed in the proper namespaces.
Map<String, String> namespaces = new HashMap<String, String>(); namespaces.put("namespace1", "ns1"); namespaces.put("namespace2", "ns2"); jsonMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.JSON_NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER, namespaces); jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.JSON_NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER, namespaces);
Note that NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER only comes into play during unmarshal if the media type is set to JSON; XML unmarshalling can obtain the namespace information from the document itself.
Unsupported MOXy/JAXB Annotations
The following annotations are not applicable to JSON:

I have been off-line for the last couple of days. Sure, I am still recovering from the election, but it's mostly because I am in South Dakota, helping my father celebrate his 91st birthday along with all of my brothers.
This morning we visited a great country store called Kones Korner. In the years when I was growing up, there was a hand-painted sign on Highway 212 just before you got to my home town. It said, "Kones Korner: Beer Guns Ammo." It summed up pretty well one aspect, but only one, of the town's culture. If you ever find yourself in northeastern South Dakota, Kones Korner is definitely worth a visit. We hung out for a while and talked firearms with one of the proprietors, but restrained ourselves from actually buying a gun, settling for a little ammunition instead.
Then we went shooting at a free, public outdoor range a couple of miles from my brother's house. The range is around 100 yards long and is mainly geared to rifles, but we shot a pretty wide variety, including a 12-gauge shotgun, a Tikka .270 rifle with a nice Leupold scope, a couple of .22 target pistols, a WWII-vintage Colt revolver, and my Armalite 9 mm. pistol. Periodically everyone stops shooting and you can check your targets, reset them, and so on:
There was a good crowd at the range, with people waiting for a turn to shoot, partly because it was a beautiful, warm day for the beginning of December.
You can see here how I peppered a target with the shotgun.
If only ducks would stand still, hunting would be a breeze!
The birthday party followed our shooting excursion. Tomorrow I will be back to following the news.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Brandeis University volleyball team dropped its two matches at the 2012 University Athletic Association tournament at Emory University today to finish in seventh place. In the quarterfinals, the seventh-seeded Judges fell by a 3-0 score to the 16th-ranked and second-seeded University of Chicago. The Maroons won the match with set scores of 25-18, 25-13, 25-21. In the consolation semifinals, Brandeis fell to the sixth seed from the University of Rochester, also in three sets, with similar scores of 25-17, 25-19, 25-21. With NYU having dropped out of the tournament because of Hurricane Sandy, the Judges will not have a seventh-place match and finish the 2012 season with a 19-13 record, 1-8 in the UAA.
In the opener against Chicago, Brandeis never held a lead in any set. The closest they came was a 3-3 tie in the first set. In the second set, the Judges were within two points at 8-6 after a kill by senior Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./Fairview), but UC answered with a 6-1 run to pull away. After falling behind early in the third, 5-1, the Judges clawed their way back into the set late, when a Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas/Clark) kill made it 23-21. Chicago called a timeout, and the Maroons' Maggie Vaughan got a block assist and kill on the last two points to close out the match.
The Judges were paced offensively by sophomore OH Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.), who had 10 kills to lead all players, while Berens finished with eight kills and just one error in 18 attempts for a .389 hitting percentage. No other Brandeis player had more than three kills. Junior setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) finished with her ninth double-double of the season, collecting 24 assists and 11 digs, while sophomore libero Elsie Bernaiche (Planstville, Conn./Southington) led the Judges with 18 digs.
Vaughn led Chicago with eight kills, while four other players had five or six. The Maroons also had six team blocks to just two for the Judges.
Against the Yellowjackets, Brandeis opened strong, taking an early 5-2 lead in the first set. UR rallied to tie the set at 7-7, and it was still tied at 10-10 when Rochester scored four of the next five points to take a 14-11 edge they would not relinquish, finishing on a 15-7 run. The 'Jackets led wire-to-wire in the second set, but the Judges pushed them in set three. After falling behind early, 3-1 and 5-2, Brandeis rallied to knot the score at 7-7. UR went on a 7-3 run to go back up by four at 14-10, stretching the lead to six at 18-12 before the Judges made another push. Three kills by Hood, one by Berens and service aces by Einhorn and Bernaiche got Brandeis to within one at 19-20. Rochester's Kelly Mulrey snapped the run, and the Yellowjackets closed the set with a 5-2 run to advance to the fifth-place match tomorrow.
With eight kills, Hood tied for team-high honors against Rochester with junior Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy). Hensley also led the Judges with 13 digs, while Einhorn racked up her second double-double of the tournament and 10th of the season with 27 assists and 10 digs.
UR had three players reach double figures in kills, with 11 each for Mulrey and Alma Guevera and 10 for Savannah Benton. The 'Jackets also had eight service aces to just two for the Judges.
Brandeis will learn if they will participate in the postseason, hoping for and ECAC Division III New England tournament for the first time since 2009 on Monday afternoon.

I think there are lots of tricky parts, but I agree that it can be done. In face, Eugen found this from Rittal: http://www.enclosureinfo.com/tech/rittal/lit/pdf/LV_lcs_01_01.pdf where it IS being done, in the sense that one can get liquid cooling adjuncts for racks that accept standard ported lq heat sinks for CPUs and maybe a couple of other parts (disks, power supplies?). Their "mini-chiller" per rack is only around 1.3 tons (4500 "cooling watts") which seems small, and running all the supply hoses around in and out of the systems (especially MP motherboard or blade systems) inside enclosures not really designed for them seems like it would be "interesting". I just don't think of this is being mainstream. I didn't get a price from anybody on this, but I'll bet it is an option on your newborn child per rack. The external heat exchanger idea is also "interesting". I agree that better thermal management in motherboards themselves would be desirable, but it takes a biggish chunk of copper to make a heat pipe capable of moving 100 W 20-30 cm at \kappa_Cu = 385 W/(m-K) and keep the end temperature differentials in the 20-30 K range. Maybe what, 0.5 cm in radius? > > On the plus side your racks could replace the building's current > hot water supply! Not unless you permit the max T on the sink in contact with the water to get dangerously high... (taking this as a serious, rather than a wry, remark). Ditto for numerous discussions of using server room waste heat to help heat buildings -- good idea on paper, pretty difficult in practice, and then there is summer. rgb > > Regards, > > David Mathog > mathog at caltech.edu > Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Oak Harbor, Wa — Naval Air Station Whidbey Island's (NASWI) fitness center is encouraging sailors to get healthy and fit one step at a time.
Since the center's Walk It Off program began last summer, 27 participants have taken more than one million total steps, an amazing feat considering the program was created for those who are intimidated by a fitness facility.
"When it came to programming, we had been providing activities for people who already came to the gym," says Carol Sele, NASWI fitness coordinator, who runs the program with the help of Naval Hospital Oak Harbor's diabetes educator Pearl Depender and nutritionist Jaci Bouchard. "We needed to broaden our focus. There are hundreds of people within the population we serve who are too shy and much too intimidated to enter this building. We came to them and took that fear away."
People of all sizes, ages and health levels joined the program, meeting twice a week at the base's track, which is located away from the gym. Sele distributed pedometers and T-shirts with the saying "Exercise Your Options" to the 98 participants who started the program. Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation walking journals and local trail maps were also provided to participants.
The pedometers, journals and maps were intended as guidelines, references and inspiration to encourage more laps around the track, Sele says.
Participant Oliver Bronnbauer far exceeded 50,000 steps per week by walking more than one million total steps.
"I'd tried diets and pills, but I could never stick to a diet or workout regimen," Bronnbauer says. "I was only 33 years old and got tired easily. I started out at 219 pounds. My goal was 188, [which is] within body fat standards for my [physical readiness test]. That weight motivated me."
This winter, Navy Fitness professionals were forced to bring the program indoors due to the weather. However, the supportive team dynamic helped retain all of the program's participants, despite the change of venue, Sele says.

Although the majority of us are loving Microsoft's SkyDrive for hosting and sharing files, a lot of people in enterprise are tied to other services, such as YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com). Luckily if you own a Nokia Lumia 810, 820, 822 or 920 you can now download the official YouSendIt application from the Nokia Collection. The app was announced back in September as a Nokia exclusive.
The app allows you to send, share, sync and even sign your documents all on the phone. From photos to presentations to video, YouSendIt seems to handle it all. The service comes in three varieties including free (2GB), Pro (5GB, $9.99/mo) or Pro Plus (unlimited, $14.99/mo). The service is not as a good a deal as SkyDrive for our needs, but for a lot of people in enterprise and business, YouSendIt is the preferred service due to its emphasis on sending and sharing files, something for which SkyDrive does well but obviously YouSendIt may do a bit better on at the moment...
The app itself looks solid enough and even features a doublewide Tile for Windows Phone 8. Unfortunately, this is a strict Windows Phone 8 app as our Lumia 900 received an incompatibility error when we tried to download it.
Pick up YouSendIt here for Nokia Lumias running Windows Phone 8. Thanks, Mark T., for the link!

Hempstead, New York (CNN) – Give a slight edge to President Barack Obama.
Forty-six percent of voters who watched Tuesday night's presidential debate said that the president won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC International nationwide poll conducted right after Tuesday night's faceoff here at Hofstra University on New York's Long Island. Thirty-nine percent questioned said Republican nominee Mitt Romney did the better job.– Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
– Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
Obama's seven-point advantage came among a debate audience that was somewhat more Republican than the country as a whole and is within the survey's sampling error.
The president's edge on the question of who won the debate appears to be the result of his much better than expected performance and his advantage on likeability. But the poll also indicates that debate watchers said Romney would do a better job on economic issues. And the two candidates were tied on an important measure - whether the showdown would affect how the debate watchers will vote. Nearly half said the debate did not make them more likely to vote for either candidate, with the other half evenly divided between both men.
Tuesday night's poll only reflects the view of voters who watched the debate, not the views of all Americans. The reactions of all voters across the country to the second presidential debate must wait until polls are conducted in the coming days.
Nearly three quarters of debate watchers felt that Obama performed better than they had expected, with just one in ten saying that the president did worse. Only 37% said that the former Massachusetts governor did a better job in the debate than they had expected, with 28% saying Romney performed worse than they had expected prior to the faceoff, and one in three saying he performed the same as they expected.
According to the survey, Obama had a 47%-41% edge on which candidate was more likeable. But on some key issues, Romney came out on top, including an 18-point lead on the economy.
"Mitt Romney was seen as better able to handle the economy, taxes, and the budget deficit among the debate audience, but it seems that issues were trumped, or at least blunted, by intangibles, including the expectations game," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
By a 49%-35% margin, debate watchers thought that Obama spent more time attacking his opponent. The president was expected to be more forceful in attacking Romney following his lackluster performance in the first presidential debate in Denver two weeks ago.
Other questions showed little daylight between the two candidates among debate watchers on some key characteristics. Romney had a 49%-46% edge on which candidate seemed to be the stronger leader and 45%-43% margin on who answered questions more directly, while Obama had a 44%-40% advantage on which man seemed to care more about the audience members who asked questions.
Debate watchers were divided on whether Romney offered a clear plan for solving the country's problems, with more than six in ten saying the president didn't offer a clear plan.
What will it all mean in November?
On that measure, the debate can best be described as a tie. One-quarter of debate-watchers said the event made them more likely to vote for Obama, and an equal amount said it made them more likely to vote for Romney. Half said it would have no effect on their vote.
The sample of debate-watchers in this poll was 33% Democratic and 33% Republican.
"That indicates that the sample of debate watchers is about eight points more Republican than polls taken among all Americans throughout 2012, so the debate audience was more Republican than the general public," added Holland. "This poll does not and cannot reflect the views of all Americans. It only represents the views of people who watched the debate."
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC, with 457 registered voters who watched the debate questioned by telephone after the end of the debate. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
By a 37%-30% margin, a CBS News poll conducted after the second debate also indicated that Obama won the showdown.

My friend Alice Vasseur has a most expressive face. Her smiles and frowns are oversized, and when she's excited, her eyes widen and her brows look like they're going to take off. And so there we were, having tea in my Paris kitchen on a chilly winter afternoon, when all of a sudden her face lit up and she exclaimed, "I forgot to tell you what I made last night—it's so easy and so good, and my friends loved it: chicken with speculoos!"
Speculoos are thin, buttery cinnamon and spice cookies that, although crunchy, melt in your mouth like shortbread. They're a specialty of northern France, Belgium, and Holland, most popular at Christmastime, but available year-round, even in American supermarkets (look for LU Cinnamon Sugar Spice Biscuits or LU Bastogne). They are paired most often—when they're not served alongside tea or coffee (they're great dunkers)—with foie gras or something gamy. Using the cookies with chicken was a leap and Alice's little stroke of brilliance.
This dish has only three main ingredients, chicken breasts, crème fraîche, and speculoos, and it takes just 10 minutes to prepare. It's not only unusual and delicious, it's also a recipe that perfectly represents French home cooking today: it makes supermarket ingredients look stylish and taste haute.
Crème fraîche is really what you should use here, as much for its tang as for its heatability. If you must, you can substitute heavy cream, but not sour cream, which will curdle and break over heat. And, while I love homemade speculoos, this recipe is best with store-bought.–Dorie Greenspan
LC Cookie Swap Note
Although we do find this quirky creation to be quite lovely, let's be clear about one thing: Chicken and Christmas cookies crumbs in cream isn't exactly everyone's idea of an ideal dinner. Although if the notion of fancying up plain chicken breasts with a lightly spiced sauce with a rich, velvety texture, a hint of sweetness, and a naughty sense of dessert before dinner, by all means, you really shouldn't let another season pass before trying this. The result draws much of its personality from the cookies you use. Speculoos, should you have them available to you, are perfect in this recipe, although gingersnaps will also do nicely, whether store-bought or made from scratch.
Cinnamon Crunch Chicken
- Quick Glance
- Makes 4 servings
- 2 speculoos (LU Cinnamon Sugar Spice Biscuits or LU Bastogne) or 2 large gingersnap cookies, more if you're daring
- 1 cup crème fraîche (or substitute heavy cream)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, preferably organic, without tenders
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1. Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin or use a serrated knife to chop the cookies unevenly. You want some cookie powder, some cookie crumbs, and some small cookie chunks. Stir the cookie powder, crumbs, and chunks into the crème fraîche and season with salt and pepper.
- 2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and slice them crosswise into strips about a scant inch wide.
- 3. Place a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter or oil. Add the chicken strips and sauté, adding more butter or oil if necessary, until the chicken is lightly colored on all sides and almost cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- 4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the cookie mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the chicken is coated and completely cooked and the cookies seem to have melded into the sauce. Taste for salt and pepper, and serve as soon as it's ready.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Perforce Software has released news of a newly available integration between its Software Configuration Management (SCM) system and Apache Ant, the popular Java-based build tool. The P4Ant integration is aligned to support Agile development and continuous integration in large distributed environments.
Perforce says that P4Ant supports all of its latest continuous build features so that software engineers can test changes made in distributed development and build environments before submitting them to the project. P4Ant also supports tasks that provide information on the latest changes made — and that link builds to Perforce's built-in defect-tracking system.
"Using P4Ant gives Java developers powerful Agile tools for managing their source code and building projects faster," said Dave Robertson, VP International at Perforce Software. "As development teams grow and projects become more complex, developers need systems that easily scale to support large globally distributed JEE projects."
Like Ant, Perforce SCM is cross-platform and extensible. The Perforce Ant Tasks Integration, P4Ant, is available now at no additional charge with Release 2010.1 of the Perforce Server.

Usher, Katy Perry, Beyonce & More Set to Perform At Inauguration Ball 2013
One of the perks of being President is that you get to pick your favorite music to perform for you at your own big party! President Obama has chosen Katy Perry to sing "Fireworks", Usher will sing "Something Special", and Kelly Clarkson will sing "Breakaway". The band FUN will be performing and so will Beyonce! SO, basically, he's got the Grammy's performing in his back yard at the White House! That's a lucky first family with some great music taste!
But if it were ME who was being inaugurated as President and I got to choose who I wanted to perform for me, I'd say forget all the musical shenanigans, GET ME SOME MAGIC MIKE! Hellooooo!!

Your basic problem is going to be that this is just not a whole lot of memory for modern/current kernels and distributions. I don't know what the minimum footprint of a system is these days, but at a guess it will be in the 4-8 MB range, with a bit more required to get the system going than is actually occupied in operation. On top of this will be things like pvmd (perhaps 1 MB), a monitoring daemon, xinetd if you run it, sshd if you run THAT, all sucking down 1-2 MB each, although you can likely run without all of them if you really have to. Perhaps 12-16 MB of total "minimum" footprint. What is left is for your applications. Running so many things that any application swaps is a bad idea. You might therefore be able to run applications as large as 10-16 MB with a deliberately stripped node configuration. Things like Scyld or clustermatic may be de-facto "pre-stripped" (or strippable) to some minimal footprint that might do a bit better, I don't know. They tend to eliminate a lot of stuff, but have to replace at least some of it with their own control interface for launching and managing jobs. However, memory is >>very<< cheap, right? As in pricewatch.com lists 64 MB EDO for $8 a stick. So for $16 you can put at least 128 MB in each node (PC 133 SDRAM is comparable in price). This is enough that you could easily run diskless nodes, you could run largish applications, you could even run X in a pinch on a node and not necessarily swap. It would certainly allow you to stop worrying about this dimension of node capacity. This is what I meant when I said that you're likely going to have to invest a bit in your nodes, if they only have 32 MB of memory each and Pentium or early P5-class CPUs. Put enough memory on them and you can install a stub operating system (just /, /var, /tmp, /boot) on the small node disks and use the rest as swap. Mount /usr and /home from a server. Possibly add a decent (100BT) PCI networking card -- avoid/replace ISA cards if your motherboard and system configuration permit as they reduce performance. This way you can run a current linux distribution, run decently large jobs, and not have to "squeeze" too much or end up spending as much time working around not-enough memory as I suspect you would have to otherwise. Remember, your TIME is a tradeoff here. Even if you spend $30-50 per node fixing them up, you might save hours and hours screwing around with shoehorning linux onto them, only to find at the end that they don't have enough memory for you to be able to DO anything interesting with them. Even a hobby-level cluster is worth a small investment... rgb > > > Dan > At 20:01 09/03/03 -0500, Robert Myers wrote: > >Robert G.

When I first started writing this blog, I wrote about seeing an ad on best of Craigslist: a woman renting out her bathroom in her NYC apartment. Now, another one shows up, someone in San Francisco renting out their 20 x 24 square foot bathroom (pretty huge for a bathroom, no?). I thought the first post's specifications were a little weird, but check this out:
The only thing is we require that you remove all your stuff every morning (after you bathe of course) so that we can maintain the appearance of wealth even though we don't have much money these days. We are meeting with venture capitalists and have a new technology we are trying to showcase and we bring investors over all the time and we don't want them knowing we have somebody living in our bathroom.
Oh yeah, and this "PS – we aren't racist, but we do want people who fit our image and personal brand aesthetic. No bargain shoppers, manual laborers or people who look comfortable on public transportation."
What gives, is the economy really that bad? With the first ad, I chocked it up to the ridiculous means someone would go to live in NYC, but now I'm not so sure.
And how much would you pay in rent to live in a large (0r small) bathroom in someone's house…

Green Building
Green buildings use less energy and have good air indoor air quality and reduced environmental impacts. Many of these issues are addressed in the energy and lighting tab to your left.
Design and education about northern building techniques are also important issues. UAF has a strong northern building science education program through the UAF Cooperative Extension Service. There is also a LEED certified building on campus built through a partnering with industry.
The Cold Climate Housing Research Center's building and infrastructure research and testing facility was completed in September 2006. The facility is designed and constructed to meet the exacting standards of the U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold rating. Every material, building technique and system in the structure, from the foundation to the mechanical systems, is designed for cold climates and is being monitored and evaluated for operational efficiency in all weather conditions.
The CCHRC is a living test center with over 400 monitors built in to assess performance of everything from the moisture content of the walls to the slightest shift in foundation. This research and testing facility, designed to address the challenges faced by northern builders, showcases the latest building materials and techniques. Built on permafrost, the facility demonstrates appropriate design for the North.
What is UAF doing?
- UAF has a strong green building educational program engaging the students, staff, faculty and larger community. This takes the form of publications, public lectures and demonstration projects, just to name a few.
- The Cold Climate House Research Center, located at UAF, represents a partnership between the statewide homebuilders industry and the university.
- The UA Presidents' Residence was designed to be the most energy efficient home ever built in the state. It was built strictly in accordance with the Alaska Craftsman Home Program guidelines and rigorous performance standards of the 6.02 version of the HOT2000 energy evaluation software.

National Gallery of Art East Building Large Auditorium, TK
After a lecture from Agnieszka Holland on her work – which adapts historic central European events for film – the National Gallery of Art will screen her new three-part miniseries for HBO Europe. The shot is an interpretation of Czech student Jan Palach's 1969 self-immolation. A little somber? Sure. After all, Palach's death led to a plebeian resistance effort that's a milestone in the Czech Republic's modern history— but Holland's cinematic work has been lauded for its ability to highlight the joyous, human moments amongst tragedy.

A father and son are accused of illegally pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars from their Hollis car dealerships.
Yunas Khan, 52, and his son Tabraiz Khan, 27, head Horse Power Sales on Jamaica Avenue and Car Palace on 183rd Street. They are charged with $500,000 in state sales tax theft for allegedly under-reporting sales and neglecting to turn over sales tax to the state, according to District Attorney Richard Brown.
"Sales taxes are meant for the public treasury, not the pockets of businessmen," Brown said.
By defrauding the state government of "such a significant sum of revenue, money that could have been used for any number of valuable public purposes, the defendants are alleged to have made every New Yorker a victim," Brown said.
Between 2007 and 2010, Horse Power Sales allegedly reported taxable sales at roughly $2 million, with a tax liability of about $200,000. However, a state DMV review shows sales at just over $8 million, resulting in a tax liability of about $700,000.
The Khans allegedly collected the missing nearly $500,000 and similarly pocketed roughly $75,000 from Car Palace sales.
The two from Melville, Long Island face varying counts of grand larceny, criminal tax fraud, falsifying business records and scheme to defraud. The dealerships are additionally charged with the same counts.
They are currently being held, pending arraignment in criminal court.
"The defendants have shown a callous disregard for the tax laws, stealing from their customers and the state of New York, alike," said Thomas Mattox, the New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance.

Wikipedia defines a catfight as "an altercation between women that often involves scratching, slapping and hair- pulling." Even though no such violence was seen at the 4 star TTR contest—Battery Catfight, the ladies still had to fight hard during the action-packed week that took place in Finland at the end of March.
In addition to the TTR comps, the week also included a video contest. The two teams were team Finland and team World, and the competition was fierce.
Battery Catfight took place at the ski resort Levi, right on the fells Finnish Lapland. The roots of this event go way back to 2004, when the organizers behind Catfight set up the first all-girls snowboard event in Finland. Along the years the event has grown bigger, changed its name and venue, and gained international interest. But one thing hasn't changed, the event has always been a relaxed get-together for girls and women who like to ride park and pipe regardless of their skill level.
The weather could've been better for the first few days, and all in all I think we experienced almost every type of weather. Throughout the week we had snow, rain, fog, sun, wind, it was intense. However the weather didn't stop the ladies from shredding, and both teams got a lot of nice moves caught on tape.
Busy Friday
After a fun few days of filming, it was time to get serious by the end of the week because Friday was the 4 star TTR halfpipe contest. The Swiss rider Elena Köntz conquered the pipe and took home the first place prize for the second time in a row. The Finnish slopestyle machine Enni Rukajärvi was seen in the pipe for a change and took second place, while Natsuki Sato from Japan landed in third.
Friday kept the girls busy because after the pipe contest it was time for another contest, the Reissumies Rail Jam. The rail jam was really popular among the ladies: altogether there were over thirty riders and they were divided into three different heats.
The rail setup included a flat-down rail, a straight rail with a kink in the end, and a straight funbox. The rail jam ended up being dominated by the Finns as Vilina Koivisto was crowned the overall winner, Enni Rukajärvi was rewarded with a style award, and Kristiina Nyman nailed the best trick with a solid frontside boardslide on the donkey rail.
After the rail jam everyone headed to the club where the results of the video contest were announced. The judges which consisted of Enni Rukajärvi, Roope Tonteri, Satu Järvelä and Mel Simmons decided to give out the best team and best rider prizes to team Finland and Ruut Laukkanen. Team World received the prizes for best filmer and best mentor.
The team whose video got most views in YouTube during the two weeks after the event also won 1000 euros. The team spirit of team World really paid off, because their teams' video received more views than team Finland's and the prize money went abroad. The money was split between the best rider in the video (who was Elena Köntz) and the filmer Jere Toivonen. Elena Köntz described the video contest as nice change from regular contests: "Levi is a nice place and as we went riding in the whole resort looking for spots to film we got to see so much more of this place than if we would just been riding in the park."
Sunny Saturday
Battery Catfight ended with a 4 star TTR Burton slopestyle on Saturday. The weather was sunny as ever, but a slightly fitful wind made things a bit interesting for the competitors. Unfortunately in the morning we also witnessed some nasty slams, when birthday girl Ruut Laukkanen, turning 20 the same day, overshot one jump and hurt her back. Doctors had to operate on her back, but luckily it went well and Ruut should be back on board next season. We wish this sweetheart a speedy recovery!
The competition itself was really exciting. Swedish rider Cecilia Larsen was ruling the qualifications, but Enni Rukajärvi took over in the finals and won the slopestyle with some strong performances. Enni stomped three different runs in the finals, but the best one, scoring 94.3 points, consisted of a frontside 360 nosebonk, 540's in three different directions and a switch backside boardslide. Elena Köntz got second with a score of 78, and Cecilia ended up in third (score 70.7). Enni also claimed the title of Overall Champion in Battery Catfight which was based on the success in all three contests.
Originally Enni Rukajärvi wasn't even planning on coming to Battery Catfight this year, but in the middle of the week Enni had a change of heart and decided she wanted to be there after all. Organizers were happy to hear a lot of positive comments about the event from the riders. Cecilia Larsen summed the week up in her blog as following: "It´s been a great week in Levi. Good weather with snow, sun, blue sky, a nice park, kickers, pipe, filming, taking photos, competing, Dumle, Reissumies, porridge and more. It was my best week of the season!" I think that pretty much wraps up Battery Catfight 2012, see you there next year!
