Hey, stop me if you've heard this one before. Tiger Woods goes out and wins on the PGA Tour. Actually, you've probably heard it quite a few times (78 to be exact!). I don't really know if you there's any way to truly appreciate how amazing his dominance has been over the last 15 or so years but whether you love him or not, you have to appreciate his talent and the benchmarks he's setting. Our grandkids will be asking us about Tiger Woods.
But for the purposes of our "A Lesson Learned" this week, I want to focus in on one shot - and it may have won him the tournament. No, not Sergio's shot on 17 or even Tiger's two missiles on 18. It was a par putt that Tiger made on hole No. 15 - an eight footer that was absolutely critical. Woods repeated the point several times after his win.
Let's recall the situation. On hole No. 14, Tiger hit his worst shot of the tournament - possibly his worst of the year. His tee shot was a high short hook that splashed into the water and resulted in him making a double-bogey; turning what was at one point a 3-shot lead into a tie for the lead as he walked off that green. After a perfect tee shot on 15, he pulls a 9-iron into the thick rough below the green - a shot he said was the only time he had short-sided himself all week. At this point, Tiger Woods is reeling a bit.
This is where his championship make up came out and the important lesson for all amateur golfers.
Woods needed to make a par here. He did not try anything heroic. He knew he needed a great shot but not a miraculous one. What he needed to do was save par and to do that, he had to give himself a good look at a par putt. So he hit a shot that he knew would give himself a putt. Read that again because it's important. He left himself a shot to make the putt.
Too many times I see amateurs try so hard to take a difficult shot and then hit a miracle shot to tap-in distance, they risk chunking it, blading it, all other kinds of trouble come into play. I like to tell my students, "Hit a conservative shot aggressively." If the pin is tucked back left, and you need a birdie, you don't have to hit a difficult carving eight iron at the pin - you can take a firm swing with the nine iron to the safe part of the green and then give yourself a chance to make the putt.
Tiger did that with his chip. It was a tremendous chip out of the rough, but notice he didn't try to flop it next to the hole, he put it where he gave himself a putt. And then, he did just that - made the putt. Such a simple concept that is so hard for many to accept. Give yourself a chance to make the putt!
Also, when you have to make a putt under pressure, my favorite tip is for a student to listen for the ball to go in. The instinct is to look up, usually too quickly, to see if you've made your putt. In order to ensure your stroke is smooth and online, watch the putter make contact and then listen for the ball to drop.
I'd say 95% of Tour pros do not make par from the spot Tiger Woods was in on Hole No. 15. Then again, no other Tour pros enjoy the success that Tiger Woods has over the years. It's not just that he hits the best golf shots, he also makes the best golf decisions. If you start making better scoring decisions in your golf game, you're going to enjoy greater success as well.

Kirsten Dunst & Rodarte at the Met Gala 2012
What's the difference between Mary Kate Olsen and Kirsten Dunst? With MK I feel like she goes out of her way to be Other, so that you can smell her Other from the next room, forcing its way into your room, until you throw your hands up and surrender. Does she actually LIKE the style she's chosen? It's debatable.
Kirsten Dunst on the other hand, while eclectic about her choices, I believe actually likes them. That these are the clothes that are interesting to her, that suit her sensibility. Kiki is a bitch. Isn't this look about right then?
Kiki has a strong style identity. You were never meant to see her in Rodarte at the Met Gala and want to jack it off her body. The point was to present you with someone that wasn't sparkly from the ball, for those, and they're out there, who are looking for a different aesthetic. She does this with a lot more conviction than, say, Jessica Biel.

Ask John
Premiership Rugby Special: Top flight 1997-98 to date
John Griffiths
August 30, 2010
The Leicester Tigers are the most successful side in the history of the Premiership © Getty Images
Welcome to the latest edition of Ask John where renowned rugby historian John Griffiths will answer any rugby-related query you have!
So, if there's something you've always wanted to know about the game we love but didn't know who to ask, or you think you can stump our expert - then get involved by sending us a question.
In this edition John focuses his attention on the Aviva Premiership, which is set to get underway this weekend.
Which clubs have won the Premiership and how often?
The Premiership was established in England in 1997 in the early days of the professional game and replaced the top flight of the national leagues structure launched a decade earlier under Courage's sponsorship. The early Premiership titles were decided on league play only, but since the 2002-03 campaign there has been a play-off tournament attached to the league season and leading to a Grand Final played at Twickenham.
The winners of the league stage have not always gone on to win the Premiership. Gloucester famously (or infamously depending on your allegiances) finished top of league play three times (in 2003, 2007 and 2008) but each time were unable to carry their success through the knockout stages.
Leicester (seven titles) and Wasps (four) have ruled the tournament to date, with Newcastle (in the inaugural season 1997-98) and Sale (2005-06) the only clubs to interrupt their dominance.
The full list of Premiership winners is as follows:
1997-98 Newcastle
How many clubs have participated in the top flight of the Premiership?
Eighteen to date. There have been 13 Premiership seasons so far. In 1998-99 there were 14 clubs comprising the top flight, but in all other seasons there have been a dozen. Eight clubs have been ever-present at the top level: Bath, Gloucester, Leicester, London Irish, Newcastle, Sale, Saracens and Wasps. Two clubs, Harlequins and Northampton, have participated in the top flight of twelve Premierships. Harlequins spent 2005-06 in National One (winning immediate promotion back to the Premiership) and Northampton did so in 2007-08.
Eight others have appeared:
Nine times: Bristol (1997-98; 1999-2000; 2000-01; 2001-02; 2002-03; 2005-06; 2006-07; 2007-08 and 2008-09)
Last year's winners of the Championship (previously known as National One) were Exeter, who beat table-topping Bristol in the home/away play-off finals. The Chiefs will become the 19th club to participate in the Premiership's top flight when they face Gloucester at home at Sandy Park in next Saturday's opening salvos of the 2010-11 season. They are the first new members of the elite since Worcester made their debut in 2004.
Who set the Premiership's main match records?
The highest points contribution by a player is 32. Niall Woods set the record playing for London Irish against Harlequins in April 1998 scoring two tries, eight conversions and two penalty goals. Dave Walder equalled the record scoring two tries, converting both of them and landing six penalty goals (all his side's points - a record) in Newcastle's win against Saracens in November 2000. The third and most recent player to date to chalk up 32 points in a match was Tim Stimpson. Playing for Leicester against Newcastle in September 2002, the former England full-back/wing kicked four conversions, seven penalty goals and a dropped goal.
The former Aussie wing, Ryan Constable, holds the record for most tries in a match. He crossed six times - three tries in each half - playing for Saracens against Bedford in April 2000. "I was just on the end of some good lead-up work," he modestly told his local newspaper. Bedford also found themselves on the wrong end of the record for most team points conceded in a match when they were defeated 106-12 by Richmond in April 1999. The 94-point losing margin also still stands as a Premiership team record. The Bedford boss, Rudi Straeuli, admittedly fielded his second XV for the match, keeping his first-team players in reserve for the Premiership play-offs in a bid to avoid relegation. The ruse worked, for his side went on to overcome Rotherham on aggregate the week later and lived to fight another season in the top flight.
Leicester and Wasps presumably dominate the all-time Premiership but which clubs rank next overall?
To the best of knowledge there has been no official or formal attempt to classify the clubs by their overall Premiership records. However, by concentrating solely on League finishes season-by-season, the composite table for the leading ten clubs reads as follows and confirms Leicester and Wasps as the leading clubs in the tournament's history to date:
Leicester: 4th 1st 1st 1st 1st 6th 5th 1st 2nd 2nd 4th 1st 1st
Harlequins and Northampton won National One in 2005-06 and 2007-08 respectively, effectively finishing 13th in the English national hierarchy.
Who holds the record for most appearances in Premiership matches?
Simon Shaw, the Wasps lock, has been a regular since the start of the Premiership in 1997 and holds this record with 224 top flight appearances to date. Hugh Vyvyan, who began his Premiership days with Newcastle before joining Saracens, is only two behind. Forwards dominate the eleven players who have notched up 200 or more appearances. Scrum-half Andy Gomarsall (202 appearances) is the only back among them, though Kris Chesney who stands fourth on the list played as a back before serving in the back-five of the scrum.

Anybody see 'The Princes in the Tower' television programme recently?
I only caught the last few minutes of it, where historian David Starkey claims to possibly found proof that Richard III had ordered the murders of Edward V and his brother Richard.
A confession whilst on trial by a servant of Richard III, I didn't catch his name, was the proof.
Can anyone else who watched the whole programme and saw this bit at the end enlighten me about this 'proof' and the details of it please?
Many thanks in anticipation

Fraid I dont have time to dig out the names but if you search for the excellent (even after all these years) Trial of R3 docu drama that was done a long while back on YouTube you'll get more info.

July 22, 2013
Adam Smith is a name possibly familiar to most of us. Back in my earlier school days, we were required to read selected readings from the writings of Adam Smith. Work ethic, competition, growth and development, profit motive, free market solutions...these concepts were all part of the Adam Smith lexicon. Primarily, the readings came from the well known work by Smith entitled THE WEATLH OF NATIONS. It was not until much later in my life that I realized that Adam Smith is considered a towering figure in the history of modern economics. And today, the subject of economics is a major story in the headlines of newspapers and other media sources across the world.
To be sure, the condition of the economic scene is of major concern! The jobs situation is pressing on the minds of most Americans. "Making ends meet" and maintaining a reasonable standard of living is a common theme in kitchen table discussions. It was not until these later years, the I realized that Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher of the 1700's, had much to say about the current state of the economic condition.
The ideas that became associated with Smith not only became the foundation of the classical school of economics, but also gained him a place in history as the "father of economics." His work served as the basis for other lines of inquiry into economics. Economic philosophies, such as minimizing the role of government intervention and taxation in the free markets, were paramount ideas expressed by Smith. His idea of an "invisible hand" which guides supply and demand are among his key ideas. These ideas reflect the concept that working persons help to create the best outcome for all, including the desire to share altruistically. "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we can expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest," Smith wrote.
By selling products that the people want to buy...the butcher, brewer and the baker,...hope to make their income. As Adam Smith saw it, if they are effective in meeting the needs of their customers, they will see financial gains. While they are engaging in their enterprises of earning an income, they are then also providing products that the people want. Such a system, Smith argues, creates wealth not just for the butcher, brewer, and baker, but for the nation as a whole when that nation is populated with citizens who desire to better themselves and their families.
The ideas of the work of Smith generated international attention and helped to drive the move from land--based wealth to wealth created by assembly-line production methods driven by division of labor. One example Smith cited involved the labor required to make a pin. One person undertaking the 18 steps required to complete the tasks could make but a handful of pins each week, but if the 18 steps were completed in assembly-line fashion by 10 persons, production would jump to thousands of pins per week.
It has been more than two centuries since the death of Adam Smith but his work is a towering contribution to modern economics. His celebrated work on THE WEATH OF NATIONS captured the spirits of industrial capitalism, and presented its theatrical rationale in a form which dominated the thinking of the most influential political economists. You know...when I, as a student...was required to read the assigned readings of Adam Smith, I had no idea the impact his work would have on our lives today. And that is how I see it FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

Heading into Friday, October 2nd's game against Keene, Coach Lisa Gingras had a talk with her team explaining how important it is to beat the teams that are close to you in the standings in order to put some space between you and them. Obviously, the girls volleyball team listened and responded as they defeated Keene (5-3 and just ahead of the Broncos in the standings) and Merrimack (6-3 just ahead of Keene in the standings). With those two victories, the Broncos moved ahead of both of those opponents in the NHIAA Class L standings and are currently sitting in eighth place overall with a 7-4 record.
Against Keene, the Broncos were victorious in three straight (25-22, 25-18, 25-20). Kayla Duval had 32 assists, 5 service points, 3 aces and 2 kills while Cassie Larocque added 8 service points, 2 aces, 1 block and 13 kills. Devon Masse added 10 service points, 1 ace, 3 kills and 1 block; D.J. Purcell had 4 service points, 1 ace, 1 block and 9 kills and Katie Donovan added 7 service points, 1 block and 8 kills.
On Monday, October 5, in the Steckevicz gymnasium, the Broncos hosted all three Merrimack teams and won them all; a rare occasion. The Freshman team won 2-1 and the JV team won 2-0. The varsity needed to win to complete the sweep, and so they did in a three game match (25-8, 25-18, 25-12).
Kate Donovan had a great night, as for the second time in her career, she tied the record for most service points in a match (previously set by Abbie Dubois '06—a record set in 2004). Donovan led the way with 24 service points, 7 aces, 5 digs and 3 kills followed by Jess Marshall with 9 service points, 2 aces, 6 digs, 9 kills and 4 blocks. D.J. Purcell added 6 service points, 1 ace, 6 digs, 9 kills and 1 block and Devon Masse added 5 service points, 1 ace, and 6 kills. Cassie Larocque had 6 kills and 1 block; Kayla Duval had 3 kills, 10 digs and 28 assists, and Kate Brouillette added 14 digs.
The Lady Broncos have moved up in the standings to eighth place with their 7-4 record. They will play Manchester West on Friday October 9.
Tuesday, October 6, the Lady Broncos tamed the Green Wave of Dover 5-1, in a very physical contest at Alvirne High School. Alvirne scored early and often with the first goal coming at 36:10 when Amanda Robert fed Taylor Troy to make the score 1-0 in favor of the Broncos. Dover did not wait long to answer as they scored at the 33:39 mark knotting the score at 1-1. Kaelyn Babin made it 2-1 when she drilled a direct kick just outside of the 18 yard line and the Broncos held that lead into the half.
Amanda Roberts opened the scoring in the second half when she was dragged down in the box and scored on a penalty kick at 37:40, giving the Broncos a 3-1 lead. Dover had a golden opportunity to close the gap but missed on a penalty kick at the 21:17 mark. Again Roberts scored when she placed a slow roller past the Dover goalie on a breakaway goal at the 19:30 mark. The final tally was scored on a heads up play from Nikki Blake as she continued to play when the Dover team thought the ball was out of bounds, and made a nice centering pass which Meaghan Clark placed in the back of the net making the final score 5-1.
"We emphasized team effort before the game tonight," explained Coach Lance McAdams and that "we need our best effort from all 20 girls for the entire game." The Lady Broncos responded and picked up their third win of the season.
The Alvirne girls soccer team tackled the Concord Crimson Tide last Friday October 2, and took a tough 2-0 loss. "We are showing some great progression, we just have yet to put 80 minutes together," explained first year head coach Lance McAdams. The Broncos had some golden opportunities to score and couldn't finish, whereas Concord took advantage of those situations. The Lady Broncos did have a good second half, holding Concord scoreless.
September 29
In Girls' JV Soccer, two first-half goals and stellar team defense were the keys to the JV team, defeating Fall Mountain by a score of 2-1.
The JV Football team played a great game, capturing their first victory with a 25-0 win. Scoring for the Cougars were Jeff Martin (2), Zen Braccio, and Shawn Gray.
October 2
The Boys' Cross Country team ran a great race at the Homecoming meet despite the bees. First for the team was Travis Manning and second was Nick Sturzo. The girls' team beat Sanborn. First for the team was Marissa Framarini and second was Ali Framarini.
October 5
The Boys' Varsity Soccer team improved to 8-3-1 on the season with a 2-0 win over Raymond. Evan Ordway scored a goal and Andrew Schibly added an assist. Pat Queenan, Kyle Mun, Travis Soucy, and Alex Puchalski all played well defensively.
In Boys' JV Soccer, after giving up the first goal of the game, Campbell took over and held a 2-1 lead at halftime. Mike Ortolano and Ian Hutchinson both scored their second goals of the game to make it 4-1. Raymond then scored 3 goals in five minutes to tie the game. With one minute left in the game, Jacob Giordani scored his fourth goal of the season on a breakaway. The 5-4 win avenges their 7-3 loss to Raymond earlier in the season. Ian Hutchinson had an assist to go along with his 2 goals and Jared Saunders finished with 11 saves.
Both the boys' and girls' teams ran great at the homecoming meet, held Friday, October 2.
The girls clinched another first-place finish against rivals from Sanborn. First place for the team was Marissa Framarini, who is training extra hard to qualify for the Meet of Champions. Second for the team was Ali Framarini; third, Kara Reid; fourth, Laura Jacobson; and fifth, Becky Weis.
The boys ran a competitive race against Sanborn and Raymond on Friday. They ran hard and some boys earned new personal records for themselves – Jesse Lamontagne, Jake Orlando, and Nick Christino all improved their times. First for the team was Travis Manning; second, Nick Sturzo; third, Jackson Musco; fourth, Cam Viola; and fifth, Jason Radonis.
The Cougars controlled both sides of the ball en route to a 61-8 win over Mascoma. In the first half Kiel Canada ran and passed for four touchdowns, and the Cougars picked up another pair on a 61-yard run by Anthony Rinaldi, and an interception return. The Cougars racked up 385 rushing yards and 421 total yards. The offensive line held up very well against a bigger team, opening holes for the running game all day.
The defense held Mascoma to one score at 6:30 in the fourth quarter, allowing the two-point conversion. Cougar cornerback Keithen Craig grabbed the first completion from Mascoma quarterback Ryan Colman for a 23-yard interception return. The defense also kept Ryan on his toes by flushing him out of the pocket and sacking him three times.
Campbell was not simply running up the score as they pulled Canada for most of the second half, and the final score was run in by freshman third-string full back Jordan Lang.
The Alvirne Broncos overcame a poor effort in the first half in time to post a 32-7 victory over the winless Spaulding Red Raiders on Friday October 2. This victory brings the Broncos record to 2-1 on the season, good enough for a three way tie for third place in NHIAA Class L Division II football. The Broncos will travel to Dover on Friday, October 9, in a clash of two of the three teams tied for third in the division.
Alvirne got off to a poor start with penalties and sloppy play, the norm for the first half. Fortunately for Alvirne, Spaulding could not capitalize on the Bronco mistakes which led to a 20+ yard hook up of quarterback Jon Baldwin to Derek Janko for a 6-0 Bronco lead. Chris Goldsack hit the conversion for a 7-0 Bronco lead, which would remain that way for the remainder of the first half.
Early in the third quarter, Sean Sipsey took it in from 2 yards out and Matt Kulis hit the conversion for a 14-0 lead. Spaulding scored a touchdown to cut the Bronco lead in half. Jesse Horne fumbled on the next possession but Baldwin picked off the fumble in mid air and rumbled 17 yards into the endzone to again give Alvirne a two touchdown lead. Horne scored on a short yardage run and Matt Chase returned an interception for the final tally.
Defense was the story on the night as Baldwin and Janko could be seen multiple times in the Spaulding backfield making tackle after tackle. Coach Bob Nimblett said that the "defense played well again tonight but the offense has yet to play a complete game for us." The defense picked off the back-up quarterbacks for Spaulding a total of 5 times with Chase, Vinnie Frasco, Evan Anaya and Jordan Birchall doing most of the damage.
Jesse Horne finished with over 180 yards on the night including one touchdown. Chris Goldsack added over 75 yards on the ground while Baldwin had one rushing and one passing touchdown.
It took 11 games, but the victory was sweet as the Alvirne boys soccer team won on the road on Tuesday October 6 against Dover by the score of 3-2. Coach Bill Eaton was pleased with the effort the Broncos put forth and was relieved that the Broncos finally tasted the fruits of their labor. "It took a while but we finally broke the seal," said Eaton. "We hope to build on this victory and finish the season strong."
Brian Juliano scored the first goal of the night off of an assist from Corey Landry. At the half, the score was knotted at 1-1. The Broncos controlled most of the second half and scored another goal when Casey Amadi knocked in a header off of a direct kick by Matt Fellows. Cody Lambert finished the scoring as he knocked in his own rebound, sewing up the victory for Alvirne.
Luke Mertins played a great game at midfield and the defense of Zach Melanson, Jake Galloway, Evan LaRoche, Brian Juliano, Phil Croce and Tyler Lambert held Dover at bay. Jimmy Tomaswick had another good game in goal for Alvirne. The Broncos hope to keep the momentum going against Goffstown on Friday October 9.
On Friday October 2, the Broncos scored their first home goal of the season but took a 3-1 loss to the Concord Crimson Tide. The Broncos had some scoring opportunities in the contest and with 2:58 remaining in the contest, Cody Lambert made a beautiful through pass to Corey Landry who beat the charging goalie to score the first home goal of the season for Alvirne. The Broncos seemed re-energized following the goal but the clock ran out and they suffered another frustrating loss. "After watching the second half, I still believe we can play and beat any team in this division," said Coach Bill Eaton. Jimmy Tomaswick had another stellar game in net making several diving stops on his way to 10 saves on the night.
Middle School – JV and Varsity -The Hudson-Litchfield Bears Junior Varsity team battled against the Bedford Jaguars, losing their first game of the season 20-22. The Varsity team also clashed with Bedford, ultimately losing their game 36-14. They will be hosting Salem and Keene at Alvirne on Saturday night.
Grade 6 - The Bears Grade 6 football team put its undefeated record on the line against the Bedford Jaguars this past Sunday in beautiful Bedford. After a quiet first quarter, the Bears offense exploded with 24 unanswered points and never looked back. The Bears defense played with their typical "bend, but don't break" mindset and kept the Bedford offense in check throughout the contest. With the win, the Bears improve to 5-0 and host the Londonderry Wildcats this coming Sunday.
Grade 5 - The Bears Grade 5 team traveled north to face the Bedford Jaguars this week. It was an exciting game, and the Bears fought hard and never gave up. When it was all done, the undefeated Jaguars came out on top. The Bears will be at home next Sunday to face the Nashua Elks.
Grade 4 won against the Bedford Jaguars 6-0. They will be playing the Nashua Elks on Sunday.
Grade 3 beat the Nashua Elks and will face Londonderry on Sunday at home.

The Bayfield High School football team opened the new Class 2A Western League with a 42-0 victory at Basalt on Friday night.
Sophomore quarterback Matt Knickerbocker ran for three touchdowns and passed for another as the Wolverines improved to 3-0 (1-0 WL).
Ian Sandrey of Bayfield intercepted a Basalt pass late in the first quarter to set up the Wolverines first score a 6-yard touchdown run by Trey Lange early in the second.
After another Bayfield interception, the Wolverines scored again on a 22-yard touchdown run by Knickerbocker.
Knickerbocker added a 14-yard scoring pass to Allec Rodriguez right before halftime to put Bayfield up 22-0.
Knickerbocker added two short touchdown runs in the second half. He also threw 8 yards to Anthony Chamblee for another score.
The defense was stellar again, Bayfield head coach Gary Heide said. It was scoreless in the first quarter, and the defense was in a couple of bad spots.
When the defense stopped the Longhorns, the Bayfield offense took over, he said.
Our quarterback really developed as an option quarterback (Friday night), Heide said. The return of Rodriguez from injury bolstered the offense, as well, he said.
The game also marked the season debut for Lange and TJ Pazell.
It was a good team effort ... everyone contributed, Heide said of the Western League victory at the end of a six-hour bus trip.
Basalt fell to 1-2 (0-1 WL) with Fridays loss.
Bayfield will host Aspen at 7 p.m. Friday night.

Creating a favicon
A favicon (short for favorites icon) is an icon associated with a particular website. Favicons display in the address bar to the left of the URL, in bookmarks, and in supported browsers at the top of page tabs. For example, the favicon for Google is a "G" icon and the Yahoo favicon is "Y!"
You can easily create a favicon for your Quick Shopping Cart storefront. Adding this small image helps establish your Web presence and identity and can also attract regular visitors to your site. Here are a few tips to consider when creating your favicon image.
- Create a Clean 16x16 Image
- Favicon images display best when saved as a 16x16 pixel size.
- Save as an Icon (.ico) File
- We support many graphic types for use with your Quick Shopping Cart Favicon, including .ICO, .GIF, .JPG, .PNG, and .BMP. However, not all browsers support all file types for use as a favicon. An .ICO file is the most widely supported (the only type supported by Internet Explorer) and is most easily viewable by your customers.
- Use Transparent Background
- The .ICO format allows for transparent backgrounds and therefore displays the most cleanly, regardless of the color scheme settings of the browser displaying it.
- Check Your Preview
- After you feel comfortable with how your image looks at 16x16 pixels, make sure it previews nicely in Windows Explorer (Windows) or Preview (Mac). Some existing images can be scaled down, but most images need to be edited.
Note: Your Favicon does not display in the Quick Shopping Cart Preview mode.
- Publish Icon Files Infrequently
- Your customers' browsers cache your old icon. Therefore, if you make a change to it, they are not likely to even know it has changed. Additionally, if you introduce a new favicon, you risk losing the familiarity that frequent customers have with your site.
For information on applying your favicon to your Quick Shopping Cart, see Uploading a Favicon.

Tech Update
Stamper Overcomes Slug-Pulling Hurdles
Early in 2012, Bloomingdale, IL-based Bi-Link, a provider of stamped metal and injection-molded parts, finally found the slug-pulling solution it was looking for—a Slug Keeper slug-retention machine developed by DTC Products, a division of Dec Tool Corp., St. Charles, IL. Bi-Link toolroom supervisor Scott Bedow had grown tired of watching as slugs pulled back onto die blocks during stamping. This pesky problem caused unplanned downtime and associated costs as presses stopped so operators could remove slugs and inspect parts and dies for damage. Now, Bedow reports that the slug-retention machine has virtually eliminated slug-pulling events.
The slug-retention machine uses a pneumatically powered grinder to precisely machine a small angled groove into the sidewall of a stamping-die cavity. A micrometer coupled to the drive of the machine's slide enables precise movement of the machine's carriage to control the depth of the slug-retention groove. The groove creates a precise amount of interference so that during stamping, the slugs expand into these grooves to prevent them from being pulled back up to the top of the die block and onto the die surface.
Bi-Link primarily employs the machine when stamping thicker stainless-steel medical components as well as automotive parts of high-strength low-alloy steel. Run at high volumes, dies to stamp these parts typically feature full-carbide inserts and punches, expensive to manufacture and therefore worthy of protection from the damage that pulled slugs can cause.
The slug-retention machine measures less than 10 in. high, and features a magnetic base so it can mount temporarily but firmly in place on the die surface during the grooving operation. "The nice feature with the machine is that we don't have to tear each die apart and set up one block at a time in the machine," says Bedow. "Instead, we just move it down the line in the die."DTC Products, a division of Dec Tool Corp.: 866/682-3602; www.dectool.com

The following text was written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher in Laguna Hills, California:
Paul Gauguin was born in 1848 in Paris of a Breton father and a Peruvian Creole mother.

Tristan married a French engraver who became so violent that he was eventually locked up for twenty years. Their daughter, Aline Chazel, was Gauguin's mother.

She has no problem letting her short shorts ride up to show off as much of the cheeks of her 38-inch booty as possible. This kind of exhibitionism is a natural thing for this babe, as she gets off on the thrill of public debauchery, often going out to pick up the newspaper delivery with her bathrobe hanging open or driving to the corner store wearing her bikini half-undone. True, she has to play it a little safer when she's traveling in her beloved Mexico, but that doesn't mean this Latina cutie doesn't dance her heart out and cut loose singing rancheras and partying every night til dawn.

The Student Christian Movement has announced the Rev Raj Bharath Patta as keynote speaker for their upcoming conference 'Seeds of Liberation'.
The annual conference aims to inspire a new generation of Christian students to work for justice and peace. This year will mark the 40th anniversary of the original 'Seeds of Liberation' conference, which took place in 1973 and is known among the movement as the event which saw the most members commit to campaigning for social justice.
Mr Patta is a Dalit Pastor and the General Secretary of SCM India. He will be speaking on Christian mission and standing in solidarity with the oppressed and marginalised.
He commented: "It is such an honour to be asked to deliver a talk on my experiences for Dalit liberation and speak on behalf of SCM India, which has been deeply committed to this important and relevant cause [liberation]."
The conference will include workshops on various aspects of the theme of liberation, and also a panel discussion.
Sam Gibson, a PhD Theology student at the University of Birmingham, said of last year's conference: "The panel was my favourite part of the weekend; it was great having people from so many theological and social backgrounds. The panellists were excellent and their comments were insightful and affirming."
Also speaking is Bruce Kent, a former Catholic Priest and Chaplain who has spent years campaigning for Human Rights, peace and nuclear disarmament, working with both the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and War on Want. He will be sharing his experiences in order to inspire the next generation of Christian activists.
The final day of the conference will be a day of student-led activism on the streets of Manchester.
The 1973 conference, 'Seeds of Liberation: spiritual dimensions to political struggle' saw students gather to explore and face the issues of their time. This was a turning point in the lives of many of the 350 participants, leading them to follow Christ's call to work for justice and liberation, in many different ways.
* The 2013 'Seeds of Liberation' will be held in Manchester on 1 – 4 March. For more information and to book your place visit: http://www.movement.org.uk/seedsofliberation

Québec Beached Bird Survey
The Québec Beached Bird Survey was launched in 2009 by Bird Studies Canada in partnership with the Regroupement QuébecOiseaux (RQO) and Explos-Nature, and with financial support from Environment Canada.
Beached Bird Surveys monitor the number and condition of seabird carcasses that have washed up on shore. The resulting information provides a good indication of marine ecosystem health and can serve as an early detection system for changes in ocean conditions. The Québec Beached Bird Survey is aimed particularly at determining the degree to which oiling affects the hundreds of thousands of birds that use the estuary and the Gulf of the St. Lawrence River.
Survey volunteers conduct monthly beach walks, looking for bird carcasses. The data collected provides baseline information on the causes and rates of seabird mortality, which assists in determining what species of seabirds are most affected by oiling, what time of the year the problem is most severe, and whether the proportion of oiled birds washing up on beaches is changing over time.
Bird Studies Canada would like to recruit new volunteers from coastal communities to help survey local beaches.
Registered volunteers will be sent an information kit with a guide, data forms, latex gloves, and other survey material. By participating in the beached bird survey, you can make a significant contribution to environmental stewardship.

First Impressions Lyrics
And this bitter, jaded, attitude is getting me nowhere
But I love this feeling
God help me
What did you think?
What did you expect?
You thought you'd really get to know me?
Better hold your breath.
Hold your breath for as long as you can
Why do you look so surprised?
This once was yours and now I made it mine
Don't look disappointed when I say
This is what I wanted
This is what I needed
This is what I'm looking for
And now you're gonna give it to me

Robots Don't Cry (bonus track) by Gosprom
Album Description
Single «Lazy» from the young progressive band of GOSPROM from Kharkov (Ukraine) is modern variations on a theme acid-jazz and trip-hop. Certainly, all the vinyl which gives a surprisingly warm sound songs is underlaid, due to efforts of one of the best acid-jazz dj of Ukraine. Well and certainly instruments, returning a listener to the time of trip-hop 90th. GOSPROM had time to come forward on many festivals, both jazz and alternative. Words of cult poet Vladimir Mayakovski extraordinarily combine with music of GOSPROM and underline an unbelievable rhythm and dynamic quality of their songs. Probably, it is related to the identical orientation of social positions of musicians and avant-gardists 20th and 60th, which is expressly traced in every song. In the end dj's improvisations in bonus track about the future, people and robots, original epilogue to the single «Lazy».

Visit our Bread Recipes page for more fantastic homemade breads!
Can you think of any scent more bewitching than that of fresh bread baking in the oven? It is nearly impossible to concentrate when I smell it. While the bread bakes my brain rummages through its box of all my favorite ways to eat a loaf hot from the oven; Should it be blueberry jam? Cold butter? Ginger marmalade? Or maybe a fried egg? A paper thin slice of salty ham? What sweet agony narrowing down those options. And what a marvelous way to pass part of a Saturday morning; luxuriating in the brown yeasty aroma of dough transforming into the staff of life and contemplating that new loaf's upcoming rapid demise.
If talk of bread fires up your salivary glands the way it does mine, you are in luck today, my friends. I have a recipe for an astonishingly flavorful yeast bread that is ready to be loaded up with whatever makes your fancy take flight in one hour flat.
From start to finish, from its Alpha to its Omega, from the time you dip that first scoop of flour to the time it is removed from the oven you will have spent sixty minutes; and most of that will have been baking time. There's no crazy trick to it, it's simply simple.
And this is a sandwich bread that is the stuff on which dreams are built; mouthwatering flavor, magnificently chewy crust, fine crumb interior, able to be sliced Texas toast thick or whisper thin and capable of holding anything you want to pile or slather on it. Just take a look at it.
Want to look closer?
Well, sure! zoom on in…
If you have any fears about making yeast breads abandon them long enough to give this a try. Kiss those yeast-bread bogey monsters goodbye, because this is the bread that will change your life. You don't need special equipment, or mad bread skills, or anything other than a big bowl and a spoon and a little counter space and the counter space is negotiable. I'll give instructions for preparing this with a stand mixer, food processor and by hand. And please note that it is just as easy as can be in all three methods. I do believe it's time to revamp that old cliché, "It's as easy as pie." From now on I'm going to say, "It's as easy as One Hour Sandwich Bread!"
Remember, too, that a last minute loaf of bread can make the meal. It can be the difference between a lonely bowl of soup and a feast. And more than that, this bread turns humble pantry staples into a reason to look forward to dinner. And while the taste and ease are enough, there is also the low price tag to recommend it. A few cups of flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water and it's bread! And let me tell you something else, a loaf of this wrapped in a new tea towel makes a fantastic hostess gift. Who doesn't like a loaf of warm bread?
For a printer-friendly version of this recipe minus the photos and rhapsodic waxing about bread, click here!
One Hour Sandwich Bread
Adapted from 'The Tightwad Gazette'.
- 6 cups all-purpose flour (1 pound, 9.5 ounces by weight)
- 2 Tablespoons instant yeast (also known as Bread Machine Yeast)
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Kosher salt (if using table salt, reduce to 1 ½ teaspoons)
- 2 cups very warm water (about 120°F)
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Mixing the dough by Stand Mixer (my preferred method):
Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of the stand mixer that has been fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds.
With mixer running, slowly pour in the water and olive oil at the same time. Continue mixing on low until the dough comes together and becomes smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from the stand mixer, scraping any dough that remains on the dough hook into the bowl. Pull dough from bowl with your hands and form a smooth dough ball. Replace in bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Mixing the dough by Food Processor:
Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor that has been fitted with a blade or dough blade. Pulse 10 times. With the food processer running, pour the water and olive oil into the feed chute. Continue processing until the dough forms a cohesive ball. Spin the dough ball 20 times and shut off the food processor. Remove the dough, form a smooth dough ball and place in a lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Mixing the dough by Hand:
Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt with a whisk or fork in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm water and olive oil into the flour mixture and use a sturdy spoon to combine into a shaggy dough. Use your hands to knead for 8 minutes*. After kneading for 8 minutes, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
*If you find it difficult to knead in the bowl, you can turn the dough out onto a clean surface to knead it. After kneading, just return the dough to the bowl and allow it to rise as instructed above.
Turn dough out onto a clean surface and divide in half. Form each half into a ball and place 5-6 inches apart on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a silpat, or has been lightly greased. Use a sharp knife to slash the top of the loaf about ¼ of an inch deep. This allows the steam to escape the baking loaf.
To bake the loaves:
Arrange the racks in your cold oven so that one rack is on the very bottom and one is positioned in the center of the oven. Place the baking sheet with the loaves on the center rack and a bread or cake pan that is full of very hot tap water on the bottom rack. Close the oven and turn your oven on to 400°F. It is imperative that you start this in a cold oven! Set your timer for 40 minutes. That 40 minutes is all that stands between you and fresh bread.
The crust should be a deep brown and quite firm when you remove the loaves from the oven. Transfer the loaves to a rack to cool completely if you wish to slice them, or you can do like I normally do and cool one loaf while tearing the second one into pieces and slathering with cold sweet cream butter.

Integrated Windows Authentication is also known as HTTP Negotiate authentication, NT Authentication, NTLM Authentication, Domain authentication, Windows Integrated Authentication, Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication, or simply Windows Authentication.
In Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), the system administrator can protect a website or folder with "Integrated Windows Authentication". When you browse to this website or folder, you must enter your Windows (domain) username and password to get access (although Internet Explorer will, depending on your security settings, send your credentials automatically without showing a login dialog box). Note that unlike Basic Authentication, which sends the password as plaintext to the web server, the NTLM protocol does not send the password but rather performs a cryptographic "handshake" with the server to establish your identity.
Use of Integrated Windows Authentication via NTLM on IIS is very common inside many companies (ie on intranets and internal web servers), where both the client and web server computers are part of the same, or trusting, domains.
Using NTLM from PL/SQL with UTL_HTTP
Unfortunately, from the PL/SQL developer's perspective, Oracle's UTL_HTTP package does not support NTLM authentication (it only supports Basic authentication via the SET_AUTHENTICATION procedure).
So, if you wanted to retrieve information from your intranet or call a web service (protected by Integrated Windows Authentication) from the database via PL/SQL and UTL_HTTP, you were out of luck.
Until now, that is... :-)
A pure PL/SQL implementation of the NTLM protocol
I came across a Python implementation of the NTLM protocol, and I decided that it should be possible to port this code to PL/SQL. Assisted by a couple of good friends and colleagues, and after a lot of bit-fiddling, reverse-engineering, study of protocol specifications, and liberal use of network packet sniffers, we got it working!
A pure PL/SQL implementation of the NTLM protocol is now available and included in the Alexandria Utility Library for PL/SQL.
The code is organized into two packages: NTLM_UTIL_PKG, which contains protocol-specific functions, and NTLM_HTTP_PKG, which is the package you actually use to make HTTP callouts, and which handles the initial NTLM "handshaking" with the web server.
Example 1: Simple request
This code simply grabs the page you direct it towards, and returns the contents as a CLOB. (What is really going on behind the scenes is a series of requests and responses to establish the authenticated connection, before the actual URL contents is served.)
l_clob clob;
l_clob := ntlm_http_pkg.get_response_clob('http://servername/page', 'domain\username', 'password');
debug_pkg.print(substr(l_clob, 1, 32000));
Example 2: Web service call
Here, a (persistent) connection is explicitly established before making one or more requests to the server. Note the returnvalue from the BEGIN_REQUEST function, which is the authorization string which must be passed along in the "Authorization" HTTP header on any subsequent requests. The connection is then is closed. Note that NTLM is a connection-based protocol, and will not work without the use of persistent connections.
l_url varchar2(2000) := 'http://servername/page';
l_ntlm_auth_str varchar2(2000);
l_xml xmltype;
l_soap_env clob := 'your_soap_envelope_here';
-- perform the initial request to set up a persistent, authenticated connection
l_ntlm_auth_str := ntlm_http_pkg.begin_request (l_url, 'domain\username', 'password');
-- pass authorization header to next call(s)
apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).name := 'Authorization';
apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).value := l_ntlm_auth_str;
-- perform the actual call
-- NOTE: for this to work, you must be using a version of apex_web_service that allows persistent connections (fixed in Apex 4.1 ???)
-- see http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/06/flexible-web-service-api.html?showComment=1310198286769#c8685039598916415836
l_xml := apex_web_service.make_request(l_url, 'soap_action_name_here', '1.1', l_soap_env);
-- or use the latest version of flex_ws_api
-- flex_ws_api.g_request_headers(1).name := 'Authorization';
-- flex_ws_api.g_request_headers(1).value := l_ntlm_auth_str;
-- l_xml := flex_ws_api.make_request(l_url, 'soap_action_name_here', '1.1', l_soap_env);
-- this will close the persistent connection
debug_pkg.print('XML response from webservice', l_xml);
- Tested successfully on Oracle 10g XE (with AL32UTF8 character set) and Oracle 10g EE (with WE8MSWIN1252 character set).
- Tested successfully against IIS 6.0 with non-SSL "plain" website and SSL-enabled Sharepoint website (both set up with Integrated Windows Authentication, obviously).
- The current version ignores cookies when setting up the connection. If you depend on cookies being present, you may have to deal with this specifically.
Given the diverse nature of network configuration, there may be bugs or unhandled cases in the code. So please test the code in your environment and leave a comment below, letting me me know if it works for you or not.

Expert Reviews
2011 Audi A8
The all-new 2011 Audi A8 is an impressive combination of high performance and high technology. High performance in the form of a luxury sedan powered by a 372-horsepower V8 that's capable of hitting 60 miles per hour from a dead stop in just 5.5 seconds or comfortably cruising for hours on end at speeds well in excess of 100 mph. High technology in the forms of onboard navigation and sound systems managed either by voice commands or by a laptop computer-like touch pad embedded in the center console next to a shift lever modeled after the throttle control for high-end yachts. All for a starting price below $79,000.
A new, limousine-like A8L is available as well, featuring an extra-roomy back seat that can be decked out with reclining seats, a powered footrest, and a built-in refrigerator. The basics, in other words.
A true luxury car, the 2011 A8 comes standard with real leather trim and upholstery, all the requisite power-assisted features, Bose surround sound and a voice-recognition navigation system. Standard running gear comprises the aforementioned V8, a slick 8-speed automatic with available column-mounted paddle shifters, Audi's trademark quattro all-wheel drive and low-profile tires on alloy wheels.
Among the more noteworthy options available either in packages or individually are a Bang & Olufsen surround system with 19 speakers and a 1400-watt amplifier, ventilated and massaging seats, rearview camera, sports suspension, heated steering wheel and, for the A8L, a rear seat entertainment center with a pair of 10-inch LCD screens and individual audio controls.
Looks-wise, the new A8 carries on with Audi's easily recognized trapezoidal grille and LED taillights. New for 2011 (and what Audi claims is a first for passenger cars) is the application of that LED technology to the A8's headlamps. Available only as a stand-alone option, these lamp assemblies use LEDs and only LEDs for all lighting functions, as in, high beam, low beam, turn indicators and side marker and running lights. The carefully arrayed LEDs produce an even, wide pattern of very white light with no hot spots.
Audi didn't neglect the driving experience, as the new 2011 A8 is both a superbly capable luxury cruiser, as would be expected given the market and the price point, and, when properly optioned, a refreshingly fun to drive sports sedan.
The quattro system effectively and invisibly neutralizes any tendency on the car's part to understeer (where it wants to go straight when the driver wants it to turn) or to oversteer (when it tends to turn more sharply than the driver wants), making the car quicker to respond to changes in direction while remaining drama free. Likewise, directional stability on long straight stretches of road inspires confidence.
Audi's MMI multi-media interface employs a touchpad embedded in the center console to control the navigation and sound systems. The pad is multi-talented, offering functions ranging from back lighted number displays for audio presets or owner-programmed functions to scrolling through displayed menus to handwriting recognition (printed block letters and numbers) for keying in navigational requests, like addresses or city names.
While some of the electronics gee-whizardry may be a bit overdone (really, a touch pad?) the new 2011 A8 is an impressive achievement.
Model LineupAudi A8 ($78,050); A8L ($84,000)
Walk Around
The most eye-catching feature of the new, 2011 Audi A8 is the optional headlamp system. Every function, including for the first time the headlight high and low beams, consists of an assemblage of light emitting diodes. There is no single bulb serving any single purpose. Viewed head on, it's like a string of monochromatic Christmas tree lights reclining on a contrasting colored light rope bed. Audi says its LED system consumes 40 watts against 50 watts to 60 watts for most headlight high beams and as much as 80 watts for some xenon HID lamps. Even with the lower wattage, Audi still fits each headlight assembly with a small fan that keeps air circulating around the LEDs any time the lights are on. Whatever, there's no mistaking the new A8s in the rearview mirror or oncoming, especially at night.
The other, equally important but less noticeable feature is a modestly bulbous hood. This is something that'll increasingly be appearing on European-brand cars as they're re-styled to meet the continent's recently adopted pedestrian safety standards. Those that are done well, as is the '11 A8's, which benefits from a complementary grille geometry, will be largely invisible. Others, like on the new BMW 7 Series, may look a bit awkward until our eyes adjust to the new contours.
The other noticeable feature on the A8's face is one that's no longer there: the black bar crossing the grille at bumper height. The grille now looks of a single piece, a large but not ungraceful trapezoid sporting the trademark four interlocking rings.
Viewed from the side, the new A8 quite frankly could be any one of the continent's large luxury sedans. Subdued character lines paralleling each other trace rearward from the top and bottom of the front wheelwell to the top of the boot and the center of the rear bumper; the lower line, of course, breaks where it leap frogs the rear wheelwell. The overall image is boxier and less wedge-like than the styling cues that prevail in the brand's smaller sedans. Door handles pop out of otherwise clean flanks just below the upper character line. The low profile tires neatly fill circular, gently blistered wheelwells.
Audi carries the LED theme into the taillights, enclosing the brake light units in a loop of running lights that wrap around the corner of the rear fender to double as side marker lights. The trailing edge of the trunk lid arcs across the car between the taillights, curving around the rear fender to link up with the upper character line creasing the A8's flanks. Properly placed dual exhaust tips peak out through the lower portion of the rear bumper, itself graced with a slender strip of bright work running the width of the car. A cutline bisecting the vertical plane of the trunk lid below the interlocking rings logo and between the taillights hides the lighting for the rear license plate and the pressure button for opening the trunk.
There's almost too much going on inside the new A8s. Not to say the panoply of new devices, interfaces and comforts are overly distracting, but they do require a major effort to acclimate to all the sensory inputs, functional capabilities and optional settings. And the question remains just how much of it buyers really want or will ever use.
Taking the essentials first, seats all around give good support without being overly firm or too soft. We didn't find that we needed all 22 adjustments offered on the test A8 to get comfortable, but some might. The automatic climate control easily handled Central California's hottest days of the year and the first cold snap of winter, which reached the low 40s.
Where there's wood trim, it's real. The standard leather upholstery and trim had that expensive look and feel, although on those hot days the test A8's ventilation system was much appreciated by way of keeping driver and passengers' backsides cool and dry. The only complaint about visibility is with the wide C-pillar (the rearmost body panel supporting the car's roof), although no doubt Audi would argue that the blind spot warning system minimizes that problem.
As for roominess, the A8's front seats trail only the BMW 740i in headroom, but by more than three inches. In legroom, the A8 splits the difference between the BMW and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans.
Rear-seat accommodations in the A8 felt about average, and our impressions were largely supported by the numbers; the 740i has a tenth of an inch less legroom but two tenths of an inch more headroom, while the S-Class has half an inch more headroom and more than three inches more legroom. Even the A8L trails the S-Class in rear-seat legroom, supposedly its long suit (pun intended), by almost one and a half inches. The long-wheelbase BMW, the 740Li, tops the A8L in rear-seat legroom, by almost one and one half inches.
The A8 has the least trunk space of the three, holding about one less foot-square box than the 740i and 740Li and three cubic feet less than the S-Class.
Figuring out how to operate Audi's navigation and audio systems borders on overwhelming. Audi stresses that its goal was to maximize features while minimizing distraction. Hence the touch pad and voice recognition interfaces. But the front seat of a high performance luxury sedan might not be the place to display a full-color, Rolodex-like graphic of the album covers of the CDs and DVDs stored on the 20 gigabytes of the navigation system's hard disk drive dedicated to personalized recordings. And while a seemingly endless list of points of interest can be helpful at times, and using the touch pad to scroll through them is certainly high tech, the driver still has to look at the screen to pick the point that's most interesting. Of course, that can be said, and no doubt it has been, of any graphical POI feature, but given that, other systems relying on voice recognition alone have fared quite well in the marketplace of public acceptance without adding the burden of learning how to finger paint numbers and letters while not looking at the electronic pen and pad.
Otherwise, essential controls follow Audi's established patterns, with legibly marked buttons and knobs ergonomically arranged on the center console forward of the shift lever (about which more later). A touch of class is the tidy analog clock (round face with sweeping hour and minute hands) centered in the dash.
Classy, too, are the superb surround sounds delivered by the 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system on the test car, with the crispest of highs floating out of twin, acoustically tuned, mini-tower speakers that pop up out of the ends of the dash top and the deepest of basses pumped up by the 1400-watt amplifier but without rattling windows or threatening occupants' heart health.
Driving Impressions
Where the 2011 Audi A8 excels is in its driving dynamics, also known more plainly as its fun to drive characteristics. In every respect, save one, this is a car that owners will look forward to climbing into, whether it's for the daily commute or the out of state vacation.
The new, 2011 A8 is not a lightweight, tipping the scales at 4,409 pounds; the A8L weighs in at 4,435 pounds. Both models are heavier than the BMW 740i and 740Li, respectively, and this despite Audi's pound-shaving all-aluminum space frame. Even so, our test A8 rode better and responded to steering inputs with more certainty than the 2011 BMW 740i or the 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400 we drove. Our A8 tracked through curves taken at elevated speeds more confidently than the BMW and Mercedes did, the quattro all-wheel drive system invisibly willing the back end to trace the arc marked by the front tires.
Road and wind noise were nicely muted, perchance in part thanks to the filtering provided by the sounds from the Bang & Olufsen system, which managed to make even the sports-addicted ranters on satellite radio's Mad Dog Radio sound eloquent.
The refined but audibly muscular V8 delivered its power through the 8-speed automatic cleanly and in a linear fashion, with no bumps or surges from camshaft mode transitions.
Fuel economy for the A8 is an EPA-rated 17/27 mpg City/Highway with a Combined rating of 21 mpg. Those estimates better or equal the BMW 740i's 17/25/20 City/Highway/Combined and Mercedes-Benz's S400 Hybrid's comparable 19/26/21 mpg. Also worth noting is that the A8's V8 delivers more power than either the 740i (315 hp) or the S400's gasoline engine (275 hp). Our weeks with the test A8s, during which the cars admittedly were driven with gusto and little regard to the price of gas, delivered figures quite a bit shy of those estimates, with an overall average of 13.6 mpg and a best just over 18 mpg achieved in extended freeway driving.
At the opposite end of the acceleration curve, the brakes performed consistently and evenly, never showing the slightest hint of fade and always at the ready. This latter is aided by a programmed function that primes the brakes' hydraulics any time the driver abruptly lifts off the gas pedal as if in preparation for a sudden stop. But it doesn't overdo things, as evidenced by the lack of drama when the brake pedal was touched in the midst of a freeway off ramp entered too fast, delivering only a well-controlled damping of the rate of travel and a calming stop at the intersection at the foot of the ramp.
The single reservation with the A8's driving ergonomics is with the shift lever. Audi describes it as styled like a yacht's throttle lever with the intent of serving as a wrist rest to facilitate the driver's use of the nearby touch pad. This sounds good in theory, and it certainly looks trick, but in practice not once during our weeks with the A8s did we manage to shift directly from Park into Reverse, the shift lever relentlessly and stubbornly slipping directly to Drive or occasionally only to Neutral irrespective of how gently we eased it out of Park.
The new, 2011 Audi A8 combines high performance and high tech in a luxury sedan that's almost as entertaining to ride in as it is fun to drive. Whether all of the high tech elements are necessary is still open to debate, but clearly, Audi has raised that bar to new heights.

Did Chuck Palahniuk's 'Guts' Inspire A Scene In The 'New Final Destination' Movie?
I'm not sure what took me so long to post something about this. People have been discussing it on our message board, and it's popping up all over our Twitter page. In the new 3D horror movie The Final Destination, there is a scene where one of the characters gets his ass stuck to a pool drain. Obviously, this is very reminiscent of the infamous story Chuck Palahniuk wrote for his 2005 short story novel Haunted, entitled Guts.
Now, I have not yet seen The Final Destination, but I seriously want to. I have friends who have checked it out that say it's goofy yes, but thoroughly entertaining and delivers on all its 3D gags. Yet, even though I haven't seen it, you may be surprised to hear that I actually worked on it in some capacity -- if you count doing a 4 month internship for the production company that produced it, manning the desk and screwing up phone banking, then yes... I guess I worked on it. Lol.
During that time, I read the script through a few drafts and incarnations. So unless they changed something last minute... I know how this scene turns out... and it might surprise you. But I won't say anymore, as I don't want to give any SPOILERS.
Suffice to say, you should go see this movie. The script was a blast, and more people should be encouraged to make good 3D horror films (not to mention, be inspired by the likes of Chucky P.)
*The above picture, by the way, was taken from Abram Saur Online.

What Did People Use Before Toilet Paper?
Using the bathroom has come a long way from when ancient Greeks used stones and pieces of clay for personal hygiene. Toilet paper is one of those things that often gets taken for granted in modern times, except for places Charmin has yet to infiltrate. This is definitely one of those unavoidable things in life, so through many centuries and in many cultures, everyone had their own method of staying clean. Be warned: We're going to get specific.
Ancient Romans were a bit more sophisticated than the Greeks when it came to cleansing: They opted for a sponge on the end of a long stick that was shared by everyone in the community. When not in use, that stick stayed in a bucket of heavily salted seawater in the communal bathroom. The public facilities were also equipped with a long marble bench with holes carved out for—well, you know what they were carved out for—and holes at the front for your sponge on a stick to slide through. Romans didn't have dividing walls, either, so you sat right next to that cute girl from the insulae down the road.
Around 1391, during the Song Dynasty, a Chinese emperor decreed that large 2-foot-by-3-foot paper sheets must be made for his toilet time. Until then, people in China just used random paper products.
By the era of Colonial America, things weren't much more advanced. After the rebels had left Great Britain for the colonies, the best things they could find were corncobs. Ouch. It wasn't until later that they realized they could use old newspapers and catalogues. The whole reason there was a hole through the corner of the Old Farmer's Almanac was so people would be able to hang it on a hook in their outhouses. (It makes you look at your current bathroom reading material a little differently, doesn't it?)
Even though Queen Elizabeth I's godson invented one of the first flush toilets in 1596, commercially produced toilet paper didn't begin circulating until 1857.
Quilted Northern, formerly Northern Tissue, advertised as late as 1935 that their toilet paper was "Splinter-Free!" Since the company is still big in the multiple-ply, multi-billion dollar industry today, the marketing plan must have been a success – splinter-free was obviously in very high demand. Now, Americans actually use more than seven billion rolls of toilet paper a year.
One culture today still doesn't want anything to do with toilet paper; it's widely known that many in India (except for Westerners who visit) use the left-hand-and-bucket-of-water method. Most actually argue that using water is cleaner than using tissue paper, and consider using anything but water to be filthy.
Today we can buy luxury bathroom bonuses like paperless toilets and heated toilet seats—so there's no going back to the brush-on-a-stick days.
