Gardening for Cheap
by Patricia Fish
What other hobby known to humankind offers so much return for labor and dollar than gardening? Like any other hobby, it can be taken to extremes. Like no other hobby, gardening is actually MORE productive when the cheapest and free materials are used in the pursuit.
Of course, the gardener has the advantage to pursue a leisure activity where most of the rules and supplies have already pretty much been defined by Mother Nature and she didn't have a whole lot of capital to work with.
Seeds and plants? No need for fancy nurseries. Seeds can easily be pulled off any existing plant and saved o'er the winter for the next summer's gardens. Plants lend themselves quite well to propagation and there is a plethora of books to explain. Established gardeners will all but jump over the fence at any request for a cutting to so offer. Indeed, many perennial plants demand that they be pulled from the ground, split at the roots and re- planted as separate, now multiple, plantings.
Planting medium? Well since most of us already pay some sort of rent or mortgage there is no additional charge to actually plant something in the earth of the surround. But the plants do perform better in a plot of land that most suits their needs. Fortunately for the gardener's pocketbook, such soil amendments are absolutely free and use only that which we throw out anyway.
There's leaves. Yes those things that fall from the trees requiring rakes and huge plastic lawn bags and all manner of manmade tools to shred, blow and gather. Then you could find a small plot of land over in that corner and build a compost pile.
Compost piles can be made using all manner of objects, or even nothing but a piece of land partly surrounded by some sort of containment fence. The fancy garden catalogs would have the gardener buying fancy tumblers with knurled handles and fancy rakes. An old trash can will do just as well.
Gather up the leaves to the compost spot or container. Be sure to have a spot that gets sun and rain...again all free. Now go get those potato peels. And egg shells. And coffee grounds. And leftover pie from the holidays. Even used napkins and paper plates. Let the miracle begin.
Add this garbage to the leaf pile, use a stick, pole or rake and mix it up well. Leave it alone. Within a week, the garbage is gone. Many of the leaves will have turned black and began to rot. Now go get some more garbage. Repeat the process. After a season, the leaves and garbage will have formed a sweet-smelling dirt-like mixture that, when spooned on the gardens will cause all plantings to spurt like fools in their happiness. No need for any purchased chemicals or manufactured soil amendments.
What other hobby offers beauty from garbage and leaves? Whatever you do, don't throw out that old kettle drum charcoal grill! Nor that rusty wheelbarrow or those old tea kettles. Hang on to any and all trash that can hold some dirt.
The ugliest we have to offer will be instantly beautified by the addition of some jeweled impatiens and colorful coleus. Consider some vinca vine to drape down the sides for effect.
"But what about bugs? Won't I need pesticide?" Perish the thought and once again Mom Nature has taken care of this. She's been doing this way longer than any of us. Find a local agriculture co-op and purchase a fifty pound bag of birdseed. Costs about ten bucks and will last the whole year within contained feeders. Don't need to spend any money on birdfeeders, either. The birds won't complain a whit if an old 2-litre soda bottle is drilled for perches and seed ports and hung upside down on a handy tree. For the cost of the seeds, the birds will take care of all the bugs. Grasshoppers are especially tasty treats for the birds. They love grubs, spiders and crickets as well.
As an added bonus and for no additional charge, a robin might hop along with you while doing garden chores, assisting with worm disposal, though this is normally not a big problem for a gardener. To further encourage the birds to hang around, put up some birdhouses. They may not thank you personally but they'll take you up on your offer and move their family right in. And don't go spending any large amounts of money on bird houses either! Most any rain tight container with a perch and hole for access will do. Again, there are many books on the subject, also for free if you frequent your local library.
So there you have it. Free plants, seeds, fertilizer, plant containers and pest control. Plenty of free information to make it all come together. Name me one other hobby that offers all this?
Then a handsome landscape adds to the value of your home so now we must consider that we have now made money from our essentially free activity.
The labor? Ah, that must be provided by the humans. Still, it's cheaper than membership in a health club.

How to Set Up a Chin up Bar:
Setting up a chin-up bar in your home can dramatically improve your upper body strength if you use the bar properly. Doing chin-ups, pull-ups and leg raises strengthens your back, arms, stomach and can even improve thigh strength. Having a home chin-up bar is an advantage when you cannot make it to the gym. Chin-up bars are quite easy to install and usually rather cheap. Putting one up in your home can take as little as two minutes.
How to Use a Chin Up Bar To Do a Chin Up Exercise:
Chin ups are one of the best exercises that you can do for upper body strength. Doing chin ups on chin up bars forces you to lift your entire body weight with your upper body. This is the reason why chin ups are very effective in building muscle. They help to build muscle in your biceps, shoulders and forearms. Here is how you can properly do a chin up on a chin up bar.

The Mayo Clinic Thyroid Core Group is composed of endocrinologists, clinical researchers, basic researchers, and individuals involved in the related fields of Nuclear and Laboratory Medicine. Although the group has clinical expertise in all areas of thyroid and eye disease. We have more than 35 on-going IRB-approved research protocols. Our work is supported by several NIH grants, as well as by pharmaceutical and internal Mayo Clinic grants.
Within the area of thyroid cancer, our basic research group is interested in oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and the identification of other genes involved in the initiation or spread of malignancy. In addition, studies of novel approaches to therapy of thyroid and other endocrine and non-endocrine cancers using targeted gene therapy are underway. Our group is especially interested in the sodium-iodide symporter as a gene that might have utility in this regard. For clinical study purposes, we have assembled a computerized database of information regarding 3,000 patients with thyroid cancer who have been treated at Mayo since 1940. Analysis of this information is ongoing and has been used for the identification of high-risk groups, establishment of useful prognostic scoring systems, and studies of the impact of primary management on patient outcome. Current clinical studies relate to the role of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in the ablation of cervical node metastasis in selected patients with 131I-resistant disease, the more selective use of 131I in postoperative remnant ablation, the use of recombinant thyrotropin in diagnosis, and treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer, the utility of post-treatment scans in thyroglobulin-positive, diagnostic scan-negative cancers, and the use of FDG PET scanning in thyroid cancer patients.
Our basic studies in the area of Graves' disease involve the immunobiology of the thyrotropin receptor and thyrotropin-receptor autoantibodies, and the pathogenesis and treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy. Studies are aimed at determining the role of orbital antigens, including the thyrotropin receptor, in initiation and propagation of autoimmune thyroid eye disease. Our group is interested in the relationship between thyrotropin receptor expression and adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts and the recognition of this antigen by orbital T-cell clones and autoantibodies. We have an ongoing clinical study to determine the utility of long-acting somatostatin for the treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy. Other areas of clinical interest include the use of orbital radiotherapy or decompression surgery in this condition, the effect of hyperthyroidism on skeletal muscle structure and function, and the treatment and natural history of thyroid dermopathy.

SNOOP DOGGY NO DOPE NO MORE: So, Snoop says he's given up the weed. In an interview with Radio One he said: "Yeaaaah... I've given... up on the weed. The dope. The grass. [Wild giggling]. The 24 hour garage was out of Toblerones... it just wasn't... what's the word? hungry? Doesn't that sound odd? Huh-un-gree..." ("I was really starting to feel like a drug addict, because you associate Snoop Dogg with weed. It wasn't good movies or great music, it was Snoop Dogg... weed... I just said: "I don't want it no more." I just left it alone, and once I started leaving it alone... I'm so controlled now, you know what I'm saying, I'm a better person, I'm a better father - it helped me to coach football. When I stopped smoking, I put signs up at my studio: "No smoking, no alcohol, no nothing" and the homies were coming over and they were like: "Damn, he really ain't smoking, he's really serious!")

text: Eilat Israel Eilat rhymes with sun, holiday and tourism in Israel. Eilat is the perfect mix of desert and ocean views, youth and adults. Everybody comes to Eilat to discover his active nightlife and her famous Red Sea. One hour flight to Tel Aviv. Beaches, sun, and fun is the Eilat's fun cocktail. Enjoy her wonderful city hotels, one hour only from Tel-Aviv. For your information, it's better to fly there from Ben Gurion Airport in Lod or from Sde Dov in Tel Aviv (link to the Arkia reservation page). Five Great Reasons to Visit Eilat: • Who can resist those cute and fun-loving dolphins? At the Dolphin Reef you can get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures. The reef is a unique ecological site, where visitors can enjoy nature. The children have a rare opportunity to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. The dream come true. Not to be missed are the three pools, where you can float in seawater, fresh water or salt water, with lush gardens all around, and have trained therapists apply relaxation techniques on your buoyant bodies. You'll feel like you're in heaven. • While you're at it, Eilat is the perfect place for scuba diving. For first-timers, the Red Sea is a very friendly environment for diving lessons. The Red Sea is always calm, and the visibility is excellent. More experienced divers will find world-class diving here. The local nature reserve hosts a reef more than 1,200 meters long. It's one of the world's most northern tropical reefs. • Eilat is also the perfect family destination: from beautiful beaches to loads of fun activities for children in all the major hotels, you're little ones will never be bored, and you'll have ample opportunity to sip a cool drink at the pool. And let's not forget the many attractions for youngsters and families - an amusement park, a new Kings City (a theme park based on the Bible and Biblical stories) and an IMAX theater. • Where else can you find such a perfect blend of surf and desert? The Arava region north of the city and the Eilat Mountains are an arid desert, dotted with hidden oases, as well as archeological and historical sites to be explored. Eilat is a great starting point for a myriad of camel treks and jeep tours through the region. • Finally, after a long day of diving, lounging on the beach, enjoying a multitude of water sports or admiring the desert views, don't forget to leave a little (or a lot) of energy for the fabulous nightlife. In the evening, take a stroll down the promenade, buy a souvenir or get your hair braided. Head on to the iconic Three Monkeys Pub (tel. 08-6368989), enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and have a beer or two, then party the night away at one of the dance clubs. Marine Park - One of the best and popular attractions on the Red Sea is the Underwater Observatory Marine Park. The park offers a close look at one of the most beautiful ocean reefs in the world. You can visit several aquariums, a shark tank and underwater observatories. The top of this underwater experience is the cruise inside the park's combination boat-submarine, the Coral 2000. Hai-Bar Nature Reserve - Go on a safari and follow in the footsteps of extinct animals that were reintroduced into the wild.The reserve, north of Eilat, is a breeding ground for animals mentioned in the Bible and other endangered animals. There are three main sections: an open area for herds of desert herbivores, living almost as if in the wild; enclosures for large predators, reptiles and small desert animals; and a 'dark room', where you can view nocturnal animals. Avdat National Park - Within the park are the remains of a famed Nabatean city, one of the ancient centers built along the Incense Route. Almost nothing remains of the Nabatean temple on Avdat's 'acropolis', but its magnificence is evident from its restored gateway. Another attraction is the Roman bathhouse. Eilat is best-known for its fish and seafood restaurants. The city has hundreds of restaurants to choose from: Rak Dagim is a fish and seafood restaurant. Angelina is a kosher Italian restaurant. Boston is a seafood and grill restaurant at the Royal Beach Hotel. Wangs Grill is a kosher restaurant, boasting impeccable service in an elegant setting. Despite the name, the tastes that rule here stem from the California fusion kitchen. Casa do Brazil is one of the best meat restaurant in Israel. Meat carvers pass from table to table and will slice different cuts of meat from big skewers straight onto your plate. Eddie's Hideaway is exactly that - a hidden gem off the beaten track. The menu includes dishes such as beef meat in a special sauce and steak in brandy. Eilat has a big shopping mall. The seaside Mall Ha'Yam is the city's main shopping center, with local and international brands such as Zara, Golbary, Seventeen and Gap. Eilat's famous open-air night market stretches along its promenade, with countless stalls for clothing and jewelry, as well as tattoo parlors, food stands and even a mini amusement park. Eilat is a free trade zone and offers VAT-free shopping, so join the many Israelis who fly to Eilat especially for the shopping - you won't have to fill those pesky VAT refund forms. • The Israel National Trail (Shvil Israel in Hebrew) is a hiking trail that crosses the length of Israel and. It starts near the Lebanese border in the far north, and extends all the way to Eilat, a length of approximately 940 km (580 mi). The trail is marked with white, blue and orange stripes, and will take you an average of 45 days to complete (you can also walk just a few segments). • If you plan to take a trip to Aqaba, in Jordan, don't forget to take your passport with you.

Introduction Green plants don't exude food from the soil they make their own, using sunlight. This is called photosynthesis, which means "making through light". This occurs in the cells of a green plant, which are exposed to sunlight. Four things are needed to make this process work and this gives two thing: the four things needed are light from the sun, carbon dioxide diffuses from the air, water from the soil and chlorophyll in the leaves. This gives out oxygen which is released into the atmosphere and glucose which is used for biomass and energy. The word equation for the process of photosynthesis is: [IMAGE] Carbon Dioxide + water Glucose + oxygen The energy which is produced is used to build up smaller molecules into larger molecules. Here are some uses of energy: * Sugars into starch * Sugars into cellulose- needed for cell walls * Sugars, nitrates and other nutrients for protein- for growth and to make to enzymes * Sugars into lipids for storing in seeds Factors affecting photosynthesis Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity can interact to limit the rate of photosynthesis. Any one of them, at a particular time, maybe the limiting factor. Carbon Dioxide can have an effect on the plant because plants need carbon dioxide to photosynthesize. Temperature has an affect but if the sunlight was low then the temperature will be low so the carbon dioxide can be the limiting factor. The one we need to concentrate more on which is our aim is about light intensity. Here is a diagram to show what I mean by this and also with it explains what the diagram shows. [IMAGE] 1) Here as the light intensity increases so does the rate of photosynthesis. This means that the light is limiting the rate of photosynthesis. 2) Rise in light intensity now has no effect. Light intensity is no longer the limiting factor. How to Cite this Page

This means carbon dioxide or temperature
must be the limiting factor. Hypothesis I predict that the more intense the light, the higher the rate of photosynthesis. To photosynthesise, plants need light. It provides the energy for the process to happen. Chlorophyll is an enzyme and it speeds up the reaction. If a plant does not get enough of either of these things, photosynthesis will not happen as quickly, if at all. Therefore, I predict that when the light is not very intense we will not see so many bubbles being produced. This is because the plant will not have so much energy (derived from light) to activate photosynthesis. All reactions require certain activation energy, and if this is not reached the reaction will occur more slowly. I think that as we move the lamp away (and therefore reduce the light intensity) from the pondweed the number of bubbles produced will decrease steadily. For instance, say at 10cm distance 50 bubbles are counted, it is likely that at 20cm distance 25 bubbles will be counted, as the lamp is twice the distance away. This means the rate of photosynthesis is halved but we are measuring the light intensity and so this will not mean the rate of photosynthesis is halved. I think that if we move the lamp any further away than 50cm no bubbles at all will be produced because there will simply not be enough light for photosynthesis to work but we are only doing it till 17cm which will give us enough results. When I am doing my experiment I will measure the amount of oxygen made which will be measured by the bubbles. I will vary the distance apart from the beaker to the lamp. The equipment I will be using are as follows: a large beaker, a healthy pondweed plant, a lamp, water, a stopwatch, a pinch of sodium bicarbonate which will give the plant more carbon dioxide. Plan I will vary the distance of the lamp to the beaker which will help me to measure the light intensity using the equation: E=1/d2. The things I will keep the same are: the water, the weed, the lamp, the beaker and the place where I did the experiment the same which will make it a fair test. I will measure how many bubbles come up in 1 minute. What I expect to happen is in the hypothesis above and also I have showed my expected results in my graphs. I will repeat the experiment twice. I will vary the distance because this will show us that the further the lamp is the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. This does not mean that if I move the lamp away from 5 cm to 10 cm that the light intensity will be half. I will keep the weed the same because if we use different weeds then it will not be a fair test because some plants are better and quicker then others. We will keep the water the same because then the temperature can differ and also we will have to keep on adding sodium bicarbonate and we can't always get the exact amount. What I expect to happen is explained in the hypothesis. We will be able to do a trial experiment 1st which will show us that the experiment is set up and it is working. We will do the experiment twice which will help us work out averages and also if there are anomalous results we will find out what went wrong and redo that bit of the experiment again. What we need to do in order to get the experiment working. 1) Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram [IMAGE] 2) When the weed has settled down and is producing bubbles then start the clock and time it for 1 minute and see how many bubbles have came up. Do this twice so we get an accurate result. 3) The change the distance of the lamp from the beaker and do this experiment. Safety ------ Take care of the light bulb, which may get very hot. As we will be using electricity (for the light bulb) and water at the same time, special care must be taken. Aim Our aim is to find out how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. Method As in plan- everything which was supposed to be in the method in the plan. Results Distance from lamp (cm) Number of oxygen bubbles produced in 1 minute 1 2 Average 5cm 180 144 163 7cm 150 148 149 9cm 144 148 146 11cm 148 128 138 13cm 120 124 122 15cm 100 112 106 17cm 88 96 92 Here are Anisha's group's results Distance from lamp (cm) Number of oxygen bubbles produced in 1 minute 1 2 3 Average 2cm 125 120 130 125 4cm 112 115 107 111 6cm 96 90 98 95 8cm 86 83 78 82 10cm 65 70 52 62 12cm 49 58 48 52 Here is the light intensity for: Our group Anisha's group 5cm= 0.04 2cm=0.25 7cm=0.02 4cm=0.06 9cm=0.02 6cm=0.07 11cm=0.006 8cm=0.016 13cm=0.006 10cm=0.001 15cm=-0.004 12cm=6.94 17cm=0.005 Conclusion From my graphs and also my results table I can reach to a conclusion. My results show that the light intensity does affect the rate of photosynthesis. We compared our results with Anisha's group's results and also I drew graphs of their group and this also clearly states that the light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. My experiment did work and also to make more carbon dioxide Mr Leaver told us to add sodium bicarbonate. I also did some research and I found that this experiment is used to find out if light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. Also I used a book which sir gave to us which explains the experiment. My experiment produced these results because we had a stop watch and we only started the stopwatch when the bubbles had started coming out. We had to change how we did the experiment because the bubbles were coming out very rapidly and we couldn't count them for 1 minute because we were bound to blink and so then we would miss a few and loose count. We then asked Mr Leaver who suggested to us that count them for 15 seconds and then times that by 4 which gave us what we would get after a minute. I can proof this conclusion with my results. My conclusion shows that my prediction was correct. I can prove this with my hypothesis and also I had done a graph before the experiment which showed what I expected and when I got my results I added the average to see if my prediction was correct and it was. Evaluation My results were accurate and they were reliable. There were no unexpected results and our results were suitable to get the results I needed. If I did the experiment again I would measure the temperature because an artificial light which was the lamp gives out 12 joules per second of light energy and 48 joules per second heat energy because it was a filament bulb. If we used a low energy bulb then it would have gave 12 joules per second light energy and 3 joules per second heat energy. Because we used a filament bulb we had more heat then light and so the temperature can be a limiting factor in some cases. To make it a fair test we could have used a low-energy bulb which is more efficient and less heat is given out but they are too expensive. I had enough results to reach a conclusion and my results prove that light intensity is effects the rate of photosynthesis: the further the light the slower the rate of photosynthesis. The change I suggested could have made the results more reliable because if a filament bulb which we were using gives out 4 times as much heat then light then the limiting factor can be the temperature. If we use the low energy bulb then that give 4 times less heat and more light which we need. If we do the investigation again I would use a low-energy bulb to get more accurate and reliable results. I have carried out a fair trial. |

Lovely Sprint Double Leads Red Storm Track & Field In Armory Debut Jan. 19, 2014 NEW YORK, N.Y. – An impressive sprint double by senior captain Rikka Lovely highlighted a successful outing for the St. John's women's track & field team at the NYU Saturday Night Shootout on Jan. 18 in the Red Storm's New Balance Armory Track & Field Center season debut. Lovely was one of four St. John's athletes to win an individual event and the Red Storm capped its first of five trips to the NYC Armory this season by winning the 4x400-meter relay in a seasonal best time of 3:46.70. "It was an exciting evening for our team at the Armory as Rikka Lovely sparked in the short sprints and Claire Mooney, Veronica Thompson and Danette Hinton joined her in the winner's circle," said St. John's head coach Jim Hurt. "Rikka, Claire, Pariis Garcia and Shayna Presley closed out the night in fitting fashion with a spectacular win in the 4x400-meter relay. We are looking forward to returning to the Armory in two weeks to challenge for the Metropolitan title."
Lovely turned in two of the best sprinting performances in school history in securing her double at Saturday's meet. She won the 60-meter dash finals in 7.53 seconds, just 0.02 off her personal best and a considerable 0.14 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, before claiming the 200-meter dash title in 24.35 seconds, 0.36 seconds in front of her closest competitor. Since 2004, only two Red Storm student-athletes have run faster times at either distance. Lovely also posted the fastest time in the preliminary round of the 60, running 7.63 seconds. St. John's had two of the top-5 places in the 200 as sophomore Shenika King finished fourth in 25.34 seconds. The Red Storm posted more impressive sprinting performances in the 400-meter dash, with junior Claire Mooney claiming the NYU Shootout title in 55.88 seconds, her second sub-56-second clocking of the early season. Not far behind Mooney, senior Shayna Presley crossed the finish line in fourth place, running a personal-best time of 56.66 seconds. In the 800-meter run, sophomore Veronica Thompson continued her terrific season in claiming the win in 2:15.96. Thompson is now 3-for-3 at the distance, winning titles at the Bill Ward Invitational and Princeton Tri Meet before Saturday's meet. St. John's fifth event win came courtesy of senior Danette Hinton, who won the weight throw competition with a toss of 18.20 meters and took fifth in the shot put with a mark of 11.94 meters. In the relays, Garcia, Lovely, Mooney and Presley combined to win the 4x400-meter relay in front of the team from California State University, while the team of senior Michelle Duffy, sophomore Stephanie Van Pelt, Thompson and Presley placed took runner-up honors in the 1,600-meter sprint medley. Van Pelt also finished eighth in the 1,000-meter run in 3:06.34, while freshman Shequell Higgs was ninth in the triple jump with a mark of 10.88 meters and classmate Gabrielle Houston tied for ninth in the high jump with a clearance at 1.50 meters. The Red Storm will take a weekend off in preparation for the 2014 Metropolitan Indoor Championships staged at Manhattan College and the Armory on Jan. 30-31. |

Ben Affleck Turns 40!
By Molly McGonigle
It's been well over a decade since Ben Affleck became famous, and oh what a difference all those years have made! He's won an Academy Award and he's written, produced and directed lots of movies. He's also overcome alcoholism, bad dating decisions, terrible publicity and a few box office bombs. But Ben seems to have found his way -- becoming a doting husband and father of three -- as he approaches his 40th birthday on Aug. 15. So sit back and take a look at some of the biggest moments in this guy's life.

Good news: according to some reports, at least, the Government is ready to help the motor industry. The bad news? We'll be helping the French, German, Korean, Polish, Czech, Slovakian and Korean motor industries rather than our own.
How come? Because the vast majority of the funds to be disbursed under the mooted scrappage scheme – something like a £2,000 state subsidy for you when you buy a new car and trade in your 10-year-old clunker – will be going abroad: 85 per cent of cars sold in this country are imports.
And when it comes to the sort of small, economical hatchbacks that will probably see a surge in sales as a result of a scrappage scheme, the British motor industry has just two offerings: the Nissan Micra and the Mini. Both are excellent cars, but between them only account for about 5 per cent, at most, of the new car market in their segment. The little Honda Jazz may join them, but not yet at any rate, given that Honda's Swindon factory isn't making any cars at all. So that would put the "leakage" rate for the new subsidy at 95 per cent-plus. Even the most committed free trader might blanch at such selflessness.
The main benefit of the scrappage scheme will, thus, be felt in the wider motor business – dealers, importers and the like – rather than in manufacturing. OK; but why is the car retail trade so much more vital than any other retailer? Why did the Government not offer a subsidy to us to buy pick'n'mix from Woolworths? Or kitchens from MFI? Official thinking a little muddled, perhaps?
There is a more serious, wider macro-economic point here too. The UK is the second biggest car market in Europe (behind Germany), and cars are expensive items. Bringing maybe half a million new cars in from abroad as a direct result of a taxpayer subsidy will not do our balance of trade, or sterling, much good. The sums are simple: say, conservatively, that the UK scheme is capped at a fifth of the cost of the German scheme – that is £1bn in a year, 95 per cent of which will be added to an already serious trade deficit. A mere £50m will help UK firms and suppliers directly. A £1bn new foreign car buying spree – all those cute Ford Kas, Kia Picantos and Citroë*C1s bought courtesy of HM Treasury – doesn't sound like the best use of public funds.
Ah, but aren't the Europeans implementing schemes that will benefit our car industry – now that 72 per cent of our cars are exported? Doesn't it mean the continentals will be keeping the Mini factory in Oxford busy? Well, yes and no. The French, Spanish and Germans certainly do have such schemes in place. Indeed, the German one is so popular that they have just trebled its budget, to €5bn (£4.5bn). Therefore, a British initiative would not be unilateral. Still, there are a couple of points to make here. First, the general observations about the structure of the UK industry remain – it is least likely to do well out of these schemes. Second, given the large potential for market distortions, it is odd that the European Union seems to have so little say about a consistent EU-wide scrappage scheme.
Then there is the green argument. A few years ago, Professor Julia King, vice-chancellor of Aston University, was recruited by Gordon Brown to review the market for low-carbon cars. It was an authoritative study, and she didn't mention scrappage once. She did endorse the view that 85 per cent of a car's CO2 emissions take place during its use, with only 10 per cent accounted for by the car's manufacture and 5 per cent in its disposal.
But that does not mean that scrapping every old car is a good idea. Even a 10-year-old Renault Clio or Volkswagen Polo will have plenty of life left in it, and its carbon dioxide emissions will not be so radically awful compared to its newer cousin. The marginal gain in CO2 and other noxious emissions might well not outweigh the additional rape of the earth's resources and the energy expended in the manufacture of a new vehicle. It might – if the old banger were a terrible gas guzzler, but then again there is nothing in principle to prevent scrappage money being used to get another few thousand off the price of a new gas guzzler, a Porsche SUV, say, while you scrap a more green older car. True, not many Porsche drivers knock about in decade-old crocks, but the point stands in the case of, say, an old Ford Ka against a new Mondeo.
Crucially, scrappage schemes usually place no premium on how fuel- efficient and clean the new car will be, against the old car to be scrapped – badly undermining the green credentials of the idea.
The King review sounded a strong warning on this point: "In practice, purchase decisions suggest that consumers take a short-term view when weighing up vehicle purchase costs. Future cost savings from fuel-efficiency are discounted heavily at the time of buying a new car, and consumers report that they would require large financial benefits before switching to a smaller car or a car with a smaller engine."
The £1bn we may spend on scrappage would, in the long term, probably be better directed at green research and development, where the UK lags behind.
That hypothetical Porsche buyer also raises another uncomfortable truth about scrappage – that it will have to carry the "dead weight" of people who were going to change their car anyway, many of whom are undeserving of such a big subsidy, and who will be given no special incentive to downsize or go green. To that must be added an additional dead weight of people who might now speculatively buy a decade-old £200 banger with a view to cashing in on the scheme, if the rules are lax. The used-car market is, after all, legendarily full of crafty entrepreneurs. And we don't want harmless old classics to be victims of the scheme. The Treasury had better make its scheme pretty tight if it is not to suffer the law of unintended consequences.
Then again, this Government's attitude towards the indigenous car industry has always been marked out by naivety. Exactly four years ago this week, our last indigenous volume manufacturer, MG Rover, collapsed, and most of Longbridge is now being turned into a retail park, as if we needed any more of them. It was a victim, in part, of official indifference to UK manufacturing, not least in public procurement.
There ought to be a word in economics for the antonym of protectionism, a word that transcends "free trade". Perhaps the phrase "foreign first" sums up ministers' attitudes to official purchases.
Inexplicably and indefensibly, we are still awaiting the official Department for Business report into MG Rover. While Lord Mandelson works hard to save Jaguar Land Rover, LDV vans, Vauxhall, perhaps even Honda and Nissan in the UK, there may be lessons to learn from that earlier debacle. Let's hope that a badly targeted scrappage scheme doesn't join the long line of political interventions over the British motor industry.

1970s Horror Movie Types
The 80s were the slasher decade, but nothing beats the 70s for horror, both made-for-tv and theatrical releases. It was a decade obsessed with horror and it was a huge variety. Here's just some examples -
Stalker: He Knows You're Alone, Someone Is Watching You, When a Stranger Calls
Slasher: Black Christmas, Halloween, The Hills Have Eyes
Psychological: Alice Sweet Alice, Suspira, Let's Scare Jessica To Death
Technology: Killdozer, The Car,
Environment: Food Of the Gods, The Prophecy, The Day of the Animals
Witchcraft: Race With the Devil, The Wicker Man, Crowhaven Farm
Haunted Houses: The Amityville Horror, Legend of Hell House,
Gothic: Satan's Claw, The Dunwich Horror, House of Dark Shadows
The 70s rocked when it came to horror. Interesting, too, that it was a decade of gas shortages, inflation, recession, and now that we are back in similar-like times, horror is our favorite genre again. Hmm...

I couldn't NOT comment after seeing that picture of Darren McGavin as Kolchak: The Night Stalker. One of my favorite TV shows - right up my alley when I was a kid. I also remember watching the made-for-TV movies "The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler" that led to the series. (My admiration for Darren McGavin partially explains why I'm also such a fan of "A Christmas Story")

Papua New Guinea: March 2008 Archives
As Karen wrote in her last entry, we have a very small staff here at Seacology - only six of us. The result is a pretty efficient group of individuals who all take care of more tasks than what our official titles would reveal. While I spend a little over half my work day processing all things financial, I spend almost about as much time reviewing projects in process and communicating with field representatives and project leaders about the current state of their programs.
One thing I have found fascinating over the years is the frequent request from project partners from widely different cultural regions to have Seacology provide a public meeting space in exchange for their decision to conserve their environment. The design of these buildings is planned at the site by community members in conjunction with hired contractors and either a Seacology field representative or a project leader. This planning process involves a high degree of cultural knowledge of building techniques that are appropriate for the extreme weather in the particular area as well as what makes sense in terms of community size and purpose.

Eric Maynor was sitting in a chair, slipping on his flip-flops after the Wizards' morning shoot-around, when Kevin Seraphin gave him a basketball and asked for a pass. Reluctantly, Maynor threw Seraphin the ball and started the countdown for a game-winner.
"Three, two, one…"
Seraphin missed.
"And the Wizards lose," Maynor shouted, as if he was broadcasting a game.
Seraphin tried and missed again and asked for another shot.
"KS Life for the win," Maynor shouted, using Seraphin's favorite Twitter hashtag, but Seraphin missed again.
"And the Wizards lose again," Maynor said.
Wizards teammates standing nearby, all started laughing. Two more times, Seraphin took a pass and missed, forcing Maynor to once again use his broadcasting voice to ask, "Why does Witt keep calling plays for this guy?"
Unwilling to leave on a miss, Seraphin gave the ball back to Maynor and said, "Okay. I will make it this time."
When Seraphin missed for a sixth time, Maynor shook his head and headed for the team bus.
Other than Seraphin's inability to give him an assist after shoot-around, Maynor was excited about being back in Oklahoma City, where he spent part of four seasons before getting dealt to Portland last February. In his time with the Thunder, Maynor played an instrumental role as Russell Westbrook's backup on a team that rose from a doormat to a perennial championship contender.
"It's cool," Maynor said. "Had a good 3½ years here. Always good to come back here and see people that I was around for that amount of time. Looking forward to playing here."
In his first season with the Wizards, Maynor is averaging 4.4 points and 2.8 assists and still getting accustomed to a new system and new teammates. He has the second-highest player efficiency rating behind John Wall at 19.9, but has been unable to build or hold on to leads when he enters the game. His plus-minus for the season is a minus-18, but he has managed to compile an assist to turnover ratio of 14-to-1.

Eating Japan, Part 2
Onto Eating Japan part 2. If you missed part 1, check it out here. We love eating and eating here in Okinawa makes us really really happy. I'm so glad I married a food person. While he's always enjoyed eating quantities of food, over the past few years Aaron has really grown to also enjoy quality food. He's even admitted to people that we are kinda-sorta-food-snobs. Slutty, dirty, greasy food has it's place, but when food should be good, we expect it to be good. Truth.
Here are a few more examples of food we've eaten since arriving in Japan. More to come in future posts as well. We don't want to make you drool too much at any one time. We aren't liable for drownings.
While Mister Donuts use to be in the United States (is it still there anywhere?), it's now headquartered in Japan and is a crazy popular chain here. Think Dunkin' Donuts of Japan. But better, cleaner, and more fun to go to. The stores are much brighter lit, and like many pastry shops here, you serve yourself. You pick up a tray and YOUR OWN tongs, and go down a cafeteria style line picking out all the donuts you want. You continue down the line to the counter where you order a drink if desired and pay for your selection (getting it wrapped if you were taking them to go. The tongs are taken and washed - I love how clean they do things here. Oh, and there is a sink right in the restaurant for you wash and dry your hands for before and after you eat (I LOVE this.). The donuts here are a little different. They have character shaped ones (Hello Kitty) with impressive designs, square donuts, filled donuts, glazed donuts, etc. The one below was a strawberry icing donut, and it had the texture and consistency of a funnel cake. With icing on it. It was yummy!
Obviously seafood is the thing to eat here, so you're going to see lots of that in this Eating Japan series. But we don't just eat your typical sushi. There are tons of fish and shellfish that you can get a million different ways. On this particular day, I explored Umanchu Ichiba - the Itoman Farmers Market and some other places on the south end of the island. I think this is my favorite market I've been to so far, and although it's too far from my house to go often, I'll be sure to stop when I'm in the area. The market not only has your typical produce section (it's own huge building), but it has a seafood building center, a Okinawan products building center, and a green house. There are about a dozen restaurants and bakeries, outdoor food stands, and a meat shop. I picked up some produce and bought a couple of the largest oysters I've ever seen. I planned to eat them right there, but somehow through my poor Japanese communication skills, the guy packed them for me to go. He put the shucked oysters on a tray with a slice of lemon, placed a small bag of ice on top and then used shrink wrap to enclose the whole thing. Placing it in a bag, I paid, thanked him and headed off to find a nice location to eat my oysters. While eating them at the market would have been fine, I ended up driving to the most southern cape on Okinawa down little itty bitty roads not sure if I was headed in the right direction until I came out of the woods and into a small parking lot on a cliff over looking the ocean. Seriously, check out that view and that huge ass oyster!!! It was amazing and I'm glad I decided to picnic it on a cliff. Not to mention, the oysters were FABULOUS!!!
The day after we arrived on island, our friends took us out to lunch to a place that they had not been to either. It turned out to be a great recommendation from a stranger. Taj Okinawa, an Indian curry restaurant not too far from base is a pretty popular location, and for a good reason. Below is Aaron's lunch set, which I believe was a daily special of mutton and lentil curry, naan, salad, chicken tikka, soup, and a drink (Indian milk tea if I recall). You really can't beat the "set" meals they have at a lot of places here. All of this food cost 900¥ (about $9.00), and remember, no tipping! We've been here a couple of times, along with many of the other tasty curry shops in town, and I'm actually going again next week for a squadron spouse lunch. I think I'm going to try ordering off the menu this time, and maybe get a different type of giant naan. Mmmm...naan.
At one of our favorite kaiten-zushi aka sushi-go-rounds in Awase, I always get this dish. For about $2.00 you get 2 large pieces of salmon over rice layered with very thinly sliced white onion and green onion. I may or may not order multiple dishes of this. There's a location near the ferris wheel in Chatan also, for those of you in that area. I've already done 2 posts about sushi go rounds, here and here, so I don't think I need to tell you again how much we love them. We really like sushi go rounds. Some days we just get a couple of plates and try to stay under a certain amount of money. Other times we agree that it will be our only meal of the day and we see how many plates we can stack up. If you're curious...it's a lot. A real lot. Trust me.
I am loving all of the beverage options you have here. At most restaurants you'll have the choice of coke, hot and cold varieties of teas and coffees, Orion or Kirin beer, and a variety of juice such as mango, guava, and below is a picture of acerorla juice. I had never heard of acerola juice, but it was very delicious and served in this super cute square glass.
Another meal out when we first got here was at Kajinho or as it's better known, Pizza in the Sky. It's an accurate nickname for this place as it is located on top of a big hill over looking the town of Motobu and the East China Sea. It takes a bit of time to get there from the main road, as you follow this crazy narrow 2 lane-road-but-can-barely-fit-one car and has hair-pin-turns-that-no-one-can-see-around and it's steep-as-fuck. So just as you think you've been driving too far and have no idea if you'll ever reach it, you finally find the parking lot at the top and make your way to put your name on a list for seating. They do have indoor seating, but we sat outside on picnic tables, and took pictures of the gorgeous view before getting our table. With only large and medium pizzas to choose from, and one with toppings and one with only cheese, we ordered both, and a salad (which was so delicious). This is our first meal with corn in an unexpected place. Corn is put on EVERYTHING here, it's really funny, but most times, it really works. For example, we thought it was pretty funny looking on pizza, but as we all ate it, we all realized that we really liked it, and wondered why more places don't do it. The pizza is really good. Both the crust and the cheese was a little different, but tasty, and while the food is good, the view is better. Come for both.
Don't worry, there are tons more pictures of foods we've eaten, so be on the lookout for the next post in the Eating Japan series!!!

I would be at the donut place every day! They are my weakness. I have always wanted to go to Japan, and I am bummed it is not an option as a duty station. It looks like a great place to live. Plus the food looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, loving this Eating Japan series! Also, looks like you should go ahead and add Oyster Photographer to your resume. I'm not even an oyster fan and I'd probably eat them in exchange for that view!

That drink is acerola! Remember the Japanese can't pronounce "Ls"!

So it's actually a literal crossover with an "r" substituted for the "l". >^..^<

A Pound of Fruit
May 16, 2004
I was shopping at Whole Foods this weekend.
I am not a hippie.
You may think the above two statements are contradictory—an enigma wrapped in a puzzle shoved in a riddle and fried on a skillet—but, really, those two sentences do exist in harmony. No, really, they do.
When faced with the decision to buy either a $4.49 one-pound carton of organically grown strawberries or a $1.99 one-pound carton of conventionally grown strawberries, I opted for the conventionally grown because (a) cheap makes me smile and (b) I, unlike most hippies, like the taste of pesticides.
The guy at the checkout counter, who I will call "Marcus" because his name happens to be Marcus and because I have no tact, rang up my strawberries at a whopping $4.49. I said, "Whoa," and told him he charged me wrong. And I repeated to him exactly what the sign said, about the organically grown and the conventionally grown blah blah blah. He told me that I was mistaken. A one-pound carton was $4.49. If I wanted strawberries for $1.99, I could only have a pint. He glared at me with his CAUCASIAN eyes. And in that gaze, I felt wrong. Not wronged. I actually felt that I was wrong, that I was some prick trying to squeeze a couple bucks out of The Man, no matter how environmentally friendly he might have been.
"You wanna go get a pint?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'll go get a pint," I replied. I walked over, dejected, to get a pint. And I would've returned to the counter with my pint and been on my way in a matter of seconds if I didn't reread the sign, which, incidentally, said: "$1.99. 1 lb. Conventionally grown strawberries."
I went back to the checkout. I told Marcus that I was right, and he was wrong. He didn't believe me. He called over a Woman Who Looked Knowledgeable. He asked her what the deal was with the strawberries, fluttering his CAUCASIAN eyelids as if to say to her, "Hey, Bambi, help me out here, would ya?" But she didn't know for sure what the price of strawberries were these days.
I repeated to both of them what the sign said. And I was transported. I felt like I was an old Filipino woman at a Chinese bazaar in Shanghai, haggling over the price of fish balls. Two and a half bucks was really not worth all this effort. If the hippies want my money, the hippies can have my money. I mean, if it's so important to them, fine, here, have it, Jesus Christ, just let me out of here, I'm suffocating from all this Shanghai traffic exhaust!
The Woman Who Looked Knowledgeable escorted me like a prisoner walking the green mile back to the strawberry display. She looked at the sign. I looked at the sign. We looked at each other. I was right, and he was wrong.
Back at the checkout counter, I shoved my one-pound carton of strawberries into my paper bag as Marcus and the Woman Who Looked Knowledgeable exchanged words of confusion. Marcus muttered, "Sorry," and chuckled embarrassingly.
"English is my first language," I wanted to say. But instead, I told him, "That's okay. Thanks."
In all fairness, I know that my being Asian American had nothing to do with the whole interaction. I'm not suffering from racial paranoia. I'm sure he would've given elderly Jewish women and black teen girls the same hard time he gave me. And that's a comforting thought.

Passive I/V Vref
When using a passive I/V stage with a TDA1543 and the like there is a resistor from Iout to ground for each channel and a resistor from Vref to ground as well.
I am now trying to make a passive I/V stage for an AD1865N and I am not sure if there is an equivalent pin to Vref, or exactly how to go about this. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Here's a link to the datasheet: http://rocky.digikey.com/WebLib/Anal...ata/AD1865.pdf Thanks, -d |

As far as & know only TDA1543 hasn't diodes at the output.Other's dacs with current output voltage is limited.For passive i/u converter you can use resistor(about 20 ohm) or transformer and after output buffer with tube or opamp(with resistor you need analog filter). Good example is here http://www.geocities.com/yury_g/dac.htm.

The link works, you just have to remove the "." from the end of it (this is a bug in DIYAudio's software that puts it there.) The link, however, is to someone making a balanced DAC with 2 chips, so I am not sure if it is strictly applicable. Also, I am trying to avoid a transformer on the output. Perhaps I will try it for a later incarnation, but for now I am trying to keep things simple, small, and inexpensive as this is just a learning project.
The AD1865's datasheet does not say that there are protection diodes at the current output and they are not there in the block diagrams, though it also doesn't say they aren't there. If I do just use a resistor, or perhaps use an opamp, then do I need a Zobel filter afterward? Another thing that I am not at all clear about is the SJ (summing junction) pin. The above linked DAC ignores it. The datasheet example schematic that uses the Ioutput connects it to the Iout pin, and AudioNote's schematic connects it to ground. Any ideas? Thanks, -d |

& listen to balanced AD1865N-J dac with Lundahl transformer and AD797 buffer and it sounds very good.Transformer have several advantages:separate digital part from analogue,linear with small primary impedance,increase voltage so we need only one gain stage and no need additional filter.But output impedance is big so we need buffer(opamp,follower,tube).With tube output impedance is big too and better use transformer at the output(it increase quality and with opamp).Problem is get good transformer the best are NOS(UTC and others).AD1865 are very precisious so balanced connection is preferred(we get less noise because of no direct ground connection and twice bigger output current).But difference from single dac is small.
Some dacs don't like inductive impedance(like AD1862) but AD1865 works great with transformer. With resistor we need several gain stage,analogue filter and results are worse.With relatively big resistance(100 ohm) sound is much worse because we get big voltage at the dac output and dac becomes non linear. |

Check this photo out. Thanks to friends I had a chance to attend a Cleveland Indians baseball game recently. Prior to game my friend and I walked the Indians Hall of Fame section in the ballpark. So I got a chance to take my picture with my childhood hero Larry Doby. Jackie Robinson was the first Black to play in Major League baseball, picked up by the National League Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Larry Doby was the second, selected four months later by the American League Cleveland Indians. The brief stroll through memory lane made me wonder why at the age of eight I had even gravitated toward Doby. No one in my family, though my brothers and father were baseball fans, even liked the Indians, let alone chose a controversial figure to idolize. Why would I, at such and early age, go for the underdog, a trait that marks my entire life. And did I even understand the controversy or did I just admire the ballplayer and not see any color.
I tend to think I was colorblind because I remember this scene, too. I was about nine-years-old and was playing catch against my front steps when a boy about my age walked by and asked if I wanted to play catch with him. He had his baseball glove and I had mine. He told me his favorite player was Jackie Robinson and I told him mine was Larry Doby. We were having such a good time that I invited him into my house to play ping-pong in the basement recreation room. A few minutes later my mother did what most mothers would have done in 1950—she called me upstairs and told me my new friend would have to leave. He shouldn't be in the house because all the neighbors would be talking. The little boy, of course, was black. That memory is burned in me. Until that event, I did not see color.

Brunch might be the greatest meal ever. It's got all the best parts of breakfast and lunch, with plenty of coffee, egg bakes and pastries. And of course, it's a perfect excuse to imbibe some cocktails while gabbing the morning away with your friends.
This slightly bitter-sweet grapefruit cocktail is the perfect balance to colorful crescents wrapped around a super sweet marshmallow.
What tastes great with a minty citrus drink? Little heart-shaped cookie fruit pizzas, of course!
This pretty combo will be your brunch time jam!
Brunch should be a celebration, and these colorful double rainbow pancakes and sunny mini orange shots are just the cure for doing away with drab days.
Mojitos and tartlets. Martlets? Whatever you want to call this pairing, it's sweet and delicious.
Feeling fruity? Then you'll definitely want these fro-yo snacks and cocktails.

Metamour said hurtful things- how do I proceed?

There's socially awkward and then there's
Could just tell her you need a break from the "friendship." Break up with her. I don't think it is much of a "friend" if she's doing these things:
oversharing and having odd boundaries
made derogatory comments about Joe to me
hurtful comments to me like " You can't really expect to be acknowledged"
literally yelling inches from my face.
She claims she was trying to be supportive in saying that, but her tone was less then friendly.
constantly brings up (BDSM edge play I do not want to do), trying to bug me in to doing those things.
She also said several things regarding how my relationship would be like hers soon (jealous of affectionate behavior toward me from Joe)
launched in to a 30 minute spiel about rape ignoring my request to not talk about the topic
minimized my feelings about my scars on my labia
Generally when she is being hurtful, I'm in such shock that I don't really respond.
Those are some SERIOUS boundary breakages to me. It goes beyond "awkward" to me. It skirts into the land of verbal abuse.
I can't be in a relationship where I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around her- I worry that if I try to loosen up around her again, she will say more hurtful things.
I agree. This person is not emotionally safe for you. Could choose to not be friends with her. You sounds like to me you have reached your limit and want to know if it is ok to withdraw. I would!
You could choose to NOT be in relationship with her and NOT loosen up around her. Be a formally polite but distant metamour, but not a friend who shares personal info. The friendship with her brings you joy, love, support, and kindness
You have already tried to be that kind of a friend, and it's just not worked out. You are not obligated to sign up for verbal abuse here just because Joe also dates her.
dates her. Not
. It's not on you to deal with beyond basic polite should you run into her. You can manage calendar and be respectful of her time with Joe without having to be her pal.
After I spoke to Joe, she apologized via email a week later by saying it all was "miscommunication". She said, "We communicate differently, but there's nothing wrong with the way either of us do so." Um, in my book, if you're not trying to hurt somebody with your word and you do so, there actually IS a problem with the way you communicate.
She's minimizing it. Not actually willing to be held accountable for less than acceptable behavior and own it. I don't think this is apology like "I see what I did hurt you. I am sorry for hurting you. I will not do it again." This is "it's just my style of communication, deal with it!" and paving the way for more shenanigans in future.
You are responsible to you -- and that includes choosing the company you keep and being around healthy people. Try to see if you can be in better relationship with Joe if you just skip being her friend and leave it at the polite meta place. Hopefully it will feel better to you with some distance from her.
If your relationship with Joe is not satisfying for you that you are happily willing to deal with a weird meta as part of the "price for admission" here with him... break up with him before it goes deeper. You have been dating him since May 2012. It's only December. You haven't dated all that long and you are not obligated to put up with shenanigans just because you do date him.
You don't have to be issuing ultimatums like "Pick! Her or me!" But you can always
pick yourself and your own best healths
and walk out. No ultimatum -- just walk away because choosing to be in relationship with him and deal with her is too draining and emotionally unsafe for you.
I know that could sound cold or mean, but if YOU don't put your own oxygen mask on to look out for your own mental health, emotional health, physical health, and spiritual health...who will?
Sigh. I'm sorry you are dealing with this.
But see if it feels better if you do a "friend break up" with her and leave it at polite metas. And if it doesn't improve? Pick YOU. And walk away from unhealthy. You don't need it.

WE Rock Western Nationals Finale at Miller Motorsports Park
For the second time in just over a month, Off-Road.com traveled to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooelle, Utah, to cover an off-road event. The park, which has hosted a number of road-racing motorcycle events since its opening, has added a number of off-road events to its calendar in 2010 and plans to continue this in the future. After attending the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series in June, this time, Miller Motorsports Park hosted the WE Rock Western Nationals, the final western round for the rock-crawling season in 2010.
The Miller off-road park features man-made concrete and gunite obstacles built on the flat desert surface. The WE Rock event was the first major rock-crawl competition at the facility, and in an effort to really test the drivers some new obstacle sections were added. WE Rocks Western Nationals were a two-day event ran in the evenings with the competition starting at 4:00 p.m. each day, with the competition climaxing with a shootout on Saturday evening.
Fridays competition went well and many of the teams posted some very low scores. In the Unlimited Class, the team of Dion Wakefield and Ken Dowdie ended the day with an amazing score of -63. The rumor around the paddock was that course designer Lil Rich was surprised at how much traction the surface had at Miller. Even with decent traction the courses still gave some teams issues, as there were several vehicles that ended up upside down. After seeing how the teams handled the terrain in competition, the WE Rock officials changed the course for Saturdays event making the lines more technical and challenging.
The weather was nice and warm, as it should be at this time of year, for the duration of the competition on Friday, but the weather had different ideas for Saturday. Just minutes before the competition began, the heavens opened and it rained very hard for several minutes. Thankfully, the rain didnt last long, but it did come back a couple of more times during the evening but it was never significant enough to effect the competition. As the sun began to get low in the sky the, weather was clear and the fans were graced with an amazing sunset as a backdrop to the great action on the courses.
The maiden WE Rock event at Miller went well, the fan attendance was decent and the competitors and organizers seemed happy with the new venue. WE Rock series has one East Coast event in Dayton, TE, before coming back to Miller in October for the Nationals, where the top teams from the East and West Coasts will compete for the national title. Prior to the Nationals in October, more obstacles and terrain will be added to the Miller course, which once the additional terrain is added Big Rich Klien says Miller will be the premier rock-crawling course in North America.
