SONY: Guerrilla Games on Killzone 3D
Following the Sony E3 press conference annoucment that Killzone 3 is to support 3D, Guerrilla Games managing director Herman Hulst has been talking about creating a title for Sony's new display technology.
"3D technology is not something we're looking to merely adapt in to Killzone 3," promised Hulst. "Rather, 3D is something built from the ground up to run in 3D."
Calling Killzone 3 in 3D a 'technical showpiece' for 3D, Haulst also confirmed that the game will be launched in February 2011 – slightly soon than previosuly thought.
The audience, all equipped with 3D glasses, were treated to a level seemingly set on an abandoned tanker. First-person use of the much-discussed in-game jet packs was also displayed.

It's been an interesting time on the blakiana front in the past month or so. Starting with the website of that name at www.sextonblake.co.uk, a greatly-expanded and improved new version is reportedly on the way very soon. Part of that new version is already online, an interactive and user-created site located at http://sextonblake.ning.com/ which will eventually be integrated with the main site. Parts of it already link "in one direction".
In even better news, some of Sexton Blake's finest adventures are returning to print in a new anthology! Apparently priced at £2.99 (i can't beleive that, they must mean £12.99) the book will contain 7 vintage stories from the Union Jack, primarly from the 1910's, but also one from the 20's, the undisputed height of the detective's golden age, and a trio from the 1900's. According to Amazon, the stories are…
The Slave Market – From 1907, Sir Richard Losely and Lobangu are both under the powers of a ruthless slaver called The White Death in Africa, and Sexton Blake has to ride to the rescue
A Football Mystery – Sexton Blake and the beautiful game! a team made up of dastardly foreign types is cheating it's way to the top. Sexton Blake has to discover thier secret and then take to the field himself, where he puts in a performance that could teach a certain Roy Race a thing or two.
The Man From Scotland Yard – The introduction of George Marsden Plummer, a brilliant detective in the official police who uses his knowledge of thier methods to turn to a life of crime. The police, in turn, call upon the best detective in the world to catch him…
The Law of the Sea – Sexton Blake is sailing on a huge, four-funneled transatlantic steamer deemed to be "unsinkable". You can probably guess the rest, and won't need telling that this is from 1912.
The Brotherhood of the Yellow Beetle – Prince Wu Ling, a chinese criminal with aims of world domination, appears in this story.
A Case of Arson – Deception, theft, insurance fraud and other vices intertwine in this story. Sexton Blake has a lot of unraveling to do! Also features Dirk Dolland, who would later play a part in the epic Criminal's Confederation series.
The Black Eagle – A man who has been wrongly imprisoned on an isolated island is free – and out for murderous revenge!
And now, in not-so-good Blake news, comes the announcement of a new radio series. Perhaps inevtiably it is going to be an "oh so hilarious" (read: predictable* and insulting) parody rather than actually good. As if it couldn't get any worse it's produced by a company with the 'raaandom' (you can just see them now, can't you?) name of "Perfectly Normal Productions". Jesus christ… Just look at the description from the press release:
SEXTON BLAKE! A name that spells thrilling adventure for fans across the world,many of whom are still alive.
SEXTON BLAKE! A name that spells certain doom for villainy, no matter how fiendish or dandied.
SEXTON BLAKE! A name that spells mild, lingering confusion for country vicars advertising for a general officer.
A baffling crime a hapless victim the cry goes up, Call SEXTON BLAKE! also some kind of medical representative.
Now, exactly thirty-eight years, four months and eleven days after his final broadcast,the worlds mightiest and most popular detective returns to the air in the all-new THE ADVENTURES OF SEXTON BLAKE. Accompanied in his breakneck hurtle to justice by doughty (not doughy) assistant Tinker, Sexton Blake battles diabolical masterminds beautiful jewel thieves mechanical Stalins in locations as exotic as a portable Congo a second, secret London Underground an uphill avalanche. Encountering peril at every turn, only Blake can save the day and solve the case by outwitting his enemies in the head and outpunching them in the jaw.
Yeah, Jesus christ…
* – Top three predictions!
3 – Sexton Blake hilariously works out that some people in the distance are not British. When his companions ask how he can tell he hilariously points out that they aren't wearing hats.
2 – Some "savages" are encountered who hilariously turn out to be more intelligent than anybody else.
1 – A couple of gentlemen who call each other "chum" and "old chap" hilariously turn out to be gay.

Let your kids be kids. Let them explore, have fun, and be curious. I read soemthing the other day that said "The scariest hood you will even cross is PARENTHOOD". It is the truth. Being a parent is one of the most difficult tasks that have been put upon us. You are never sure if you are "doing the right thing" and even when you ask someone who is a parent many times the answers they give you may not agree with how you believe things should be done, even though you yourself are not even sure if you are correct. You want to protect them from EVERYTHING, even though you know that that is not the correct thing to do either. You want do things the right way, but not because they learn to on their own, but because you know the right way and force them to do it that way.
All in all we as parents must learn to let kids be kids. Let them learn, explore and be as curious as they want to be. We need to be what I call "the secret eyes", always there but without them really knowing we are there.
(NOTE: I'm good at the concept of how things should be, however many times not good at following through with the concept)

New In 90 is not like normal diets or exercise programmes and so people have questions about how it works and what it does. Here is a selection of the most frequently asked:
Why is New In 90 different to normal diets and exercise programmes?
Most diets either concentrate on regulating what you actually eat or restricting a certain type of food group, and many exercise programmes depend on regular high intensity workouts. New In 90 takes a different view and focuses on your habits, routines and beliefs surrounding eating and activity. Only by slowly changing these over a period of time will you be able to make a permanent difference to your weight and fitness. New in 90 will show you exactly how to do this.
What's in the Plan?
Each day an objective will be delivered to your smartphone or tablet (or e-book). Each of these will consist of a simple eating task and activity task. At the end of the day you will be asked if you completed the objective. Touching "Yes" will deliver a new objective and touching "No" means you just repeat the same day's objective again. As the Plan progresses, you will start to incorporate more and more of the tasks into your everyday lifestyle, producing real change over the length of the Plan.
Are the objectives hard?
No! That's the beauty of New In 90. Each task is very simple and anyone can achieve them. It's all about slowly changing your lifestyle for the better without you really realising it.
Who is New In 90 aimed at?
The Plan is primarily aimed at people who are generally inactive (i.e. those who do no or almost no exercise) and those people who feel they are overweight, or even obese.
Who is New In 90 NOT aimed at?
If you regularly exercise, are generally happy with your weight, or want to lose just a few pounds for that special occasion, then New In 90 is not for you.
Does New In 90 make you lose lots of weight?
If you are looking for very fast reductions of large amounts of weight, then New In 90 is not the right plan for you…primarily because that objective is VERY hard, and potentially damaging, to achieve. Following the New In 90 Plan correctly, you will lose weight and, much more importantly, you will set yourself up to reach your ideal weight and fitness level in the long term and then maintain it forever.
Do you need special equipment to do New In 90?
No…you won't even need special clothes. We won't be sending you to a gym or the local sports field!
How much time does it take up?
New In 90 is specially designed to fit into busy lifestyles and the way we live now. We will show you how to start utilising the time you DO have to your advantage and to free up the odd five or ten minutes here and there.
Does New In 90 stop you eating or drinking certain foods or drinks?
No…BUT we show you how to cut down on the so-called "bad" foods and drinks and start eating the good ones. A long term weight loss fitness solution advocates moderation rather than abstinence and we show you how to achieve this.
How much does New In 90 cost?
New in 90 provides a full 90 day eating and activity plan for only £5.99, way below what most of our competitors charge. There are NO additional charges or add-ons.
Where can New In 90 be bought?
New In 90 is delivered via App (for Apple devices) and e-book (for Kindles). Download and start today!
If you would like New In 90 to help YOU achieve long term weight stability and fitness, then just go to our home page and click on the App store button. If you would rather download New In 90 as an e book, then just click on the Amazon button.

Get ready for the Green Mountain coffee wars—and not just from branded competition like Nestle .
Without fanfare, Wal-Mart has started a rollout in select stores nationally of Grove Square, a private-label brand of coffee from Sturm Foods—a division of private label powerhouse Treehouse Foods .
Geared for use in Green Mountain's Keurig coffee makers, Grove Square single-serve coffee is appearing side-by-side at Wal-Mart with other Green Mountain brands.
Why care? At Wal-Mart, Grove Square is priced 20 percent lower than Green Mountain. If that results in a price war, Green Mountain's margins could take a hit.
Without naming names, Treehouse says private label coffee (using different technology that works in Keurig coffee machines) is starting to appear at other retailers, as well.
Green Mountain, which is facing patent expirations within several years, has shot back by filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Sturm.
Treehouse general counsel Tom O'Neil says the company hasn't infringed on anybody's intellectual property.
My take: Green Mountain has been in the news recently, after disclosing that it had overstated revenue and that it has received an inquiry from the SEC. In the end, however, it's all about the business. And when it comes to competition, no matter what the product, private label is always a contender.
Correction: In an earlier version of this story, published October 15, it was erroneously reported that Treehouse described its new coffee cartridge product as a "private label K-Cup." Treehouse does not refer to its coffee cartridges, which use a different technology, as a "K-cup," a term used by Green Mountain.

Our camp guru, Mama Nicole, read the tea leaves and decided that the rejection of the initial art car drawing and the camp site request are a sign that she shouldn't go this year. Nicole's a 13-year veteran of Burning Man, and had never been rejected before, so I suppose I can understand how she would be turned off by being turned away. The only problem is, without her leading the group, all the planners decided to throw in the towel.
With something as trippy as Burning Man, perhaps one must take "signs" seriously as they could effect your entire experience, but let's look at the "signs" themselves. One rejection in 13 years? I don't think most people are as used to rejection as creative types like me are. Heck, Nicole herself even rejected my idea of distributing a mini-comic at the Burn, citing the "newbie over-gifting" issue, and I was still gung-ho to go!
Not to say that there weren't legitimate reasons for canceling the camp; I'm trying to put a writerly spin on this. So, to continue: I've experienced some form of rejection in most of my creative endeavors, but like an insane person, I keep trying and hoping for a different result. The trick is to adjust and improve. When we adjusted the "the product" - the design of the art car - to conform to "the marketplace" - the approval board - it was accepted. (I didn't post about it when it happened, but the revised concept was accepted and was mid-build when the camp site request was rejected). Supposedly, the camp planners only problem with the revised design was that then it wasn't their "pure idea" and they were in some way "selling out" and Burning Man had become too rigid and boundary-setting, yadda yadda. So the camp site rejection was the final straw. I wasn't in a position to argue, but if it had been up to me, I
would've resubmitted the camp site request, and I bet it would've been approved just like the art car was. Instead, the camp planners felt misunderstood and p.o.'d and dissolved the group.
But this is how artists starve, maaaan! *shakes fist at sky*
Eh. So, I lost out on a chance for a wacky life experience (well, I still have my ticket, but there's no way I'd try to go it alone without the infrastructure - that's crazy talk! - so I'll be scalping someone for sure, ha ha - any takers?), but hopefully I'll have learned something from this.
I'll let you know when I figure out what that something is. Until then, here's one of the sketches I did for the camp costumes. It was in the process of being made, so it too is in project purgatory:

Slint - "Spiderland"
I was *this* close to buying it today.
Should I invest?
although it is nowhere near as good as some people would have you believe.
Why so?
Is it better/worse/similar/dissimilar to "Tweez"?
I don't have that album either, but probably worth asking anyhow...
It is better
than Tweez, although they are pretty different. Tweez is interesting more than enjoyable.
I do really like Spiderland, its just it could never live up to all the things I had read about it.
tweez is utter wank
in comparison
Spiderland is often described as math-rock. It is not. It is noodling. Very very slowly.
I thought it was the first album that established this genre called math-rock.
Plus, I thought noodling was more post-rock than anything else...
That's what I heard. Then I bought it and found that everyone who said that was talking straight out of their arse.
It just sounds like a budget Tortoise. Or a quieter Shellac. But it ain't math.
DO IT. This album is possibly my favourite album ever ever ever. It is AMAZING. do it.
I love Spiderland.
It's a brilliant album. I didn't even know about all the "mastpiece, lost classic, best thing ever blahblahblah" stuff before I bought it, but if you fail to be moved by Washer or Good Morning, Captain, then something's probably wrong with you.
To be fair
I'm tempted just to buy it on the strength of "Nosferatu Man" (the only song I've heard off the record).
I find it boring
but I also find Mogwai and any other 'postrock' bands boring. This post is not much help.
it's mostly
amazing. especially 'washer'. they are infinately better than mogwai
you are quite rude
Why is it so stupid?
nothing alike?
Lightning Bolt and The Cheeky Girls - nothing alike.
Slint and Mogwai - nothing alike? Don't think so.
Mogwai are on record as citing Slint as a massive influence, not to mention every music journalist ever comparing the two.
I could sit here for an hour listing similarities in musical style but I don't think there is any need.
I can't believe for a second you can hear Washer and believe that it sounds "nothing like" Mogwai!
fair enough if you think that
I wouldn't have even said anything if you hadn't labelled someone "stupid" for saying something that has been a discussion point for music fans and journalists since Mogwai began! You might disagree, but calling someone stupid in such a dismissive way just makes you look like a bit of a dickhead. I also really do fail to see how someone can say the album Come On Die Young doesn't sound like Slint, at least a bit. Clearly they aren't identical, and they have a lot of differences, but to say they are nothing alike is simply ridiculous.
i only said they were infinately better than mogwai
because the guy before me said 'i also find mogwai and other post-rock bands boring'. which i thought was silly because you can't really compare the two. so we're on the same side buddy.
it's a work of art
Also you have to remember what the album did and who it influenced when assessing how "good" it is / was. Of course, if you just want something to listen to and don't care about all that bullshit, well it is still brilliant. Dripping with atmosphere. You have to listen to it LOUD.
Tweez on the other hand is pretty badly recorded and stinks of late 80s - however once you get used to it, it rocks a lot too.
fuck sake calm down
don't take these things so seriously.
I love spiderland but have to admit I prefer Mogwai over slint by quite a way.
Also, having seen Slint at the Forum and Mogwai quite a few times I can also say that in my opinion the mighty 'gwai are a LOT better live.
the internet is funny
If you were referring to me, I wasn't angry or anything, just a bit surprised.
I also agree with you about Mogwai being the better live band. Though would they have ever sounded like they do without the existence of Slint? I doubt it.
easy to project
a personae on people on the internet ain't it?
Sure they would have sounded different, maybe even better!
I love mogai live, just friggin heavy.
this thread is silly
Yes, buy Spiderland - I adore the whole thing and I would recommend Tweez as well - if only for Good Morning Captain which must be one of the most extraordinary rock songs of all time.
but, really, I am not sure what point Elvrum was trying to make above. You nearly made me spit my drink out mate. Mogwai have always accepted they sound like Slint. The working title of Like Herod was Like Slint, for godsake. Silly, as I said before.

Asian Models Blog posted this somewhat interesting post which I want to highlight on here I have noticed how important it is to appear clean and well groomed. I however hope that I can maybe see something I like and go grab it because obtaining is better than free loathing, you cannot just notice something anymore if you just want to look stylish it cost plenty of dollars. More importantly the t-shirt and sneaker game I wanted stuff but if it's only going to impress me I don't want to be bothered with talking about something I don't know about fashion needs for you to look good but you gotta pay up. Buying into stuff that cost thousands but is sold at a discount creates doubts just telling you the facts because the days when someone could make a promise and years later see the rewards have come and gone it's time to make choices. If you notice something especially in a foreign countries where I didn't think I would be shown how to step up my game, I was looking down on a Peter England shirt which obviously wasn't free but I made a note upstairs to check it out when I had the time. But since I haven't yet purchased anything like it but have been to the mall and fantasized where I could see more stuff I could be rocking, I really wanted to order it. There are many locations I need to change my wardrobe and style to impress the people i'm with the person I walked away from.

On Sunday, "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver addressed ousted FBI Director James Comey's testimony in an open session with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, saying that Comey had destroyed whatever shabby remnants of credibility the president had left.
"Even Fox News was struggling to spin any positives" in the wake of the testimony, Oliver said before playing a clip of Charles Krauthammer saying, "I think this sort of brings home the question of the president's credibility, which is always a big loss."
"Wow," said Oliver, "that is not good, but at this point, saying something 'damaged Trump's credibility' is like saying 'That graffiti is a real eyesore on that pile of dead pigeons."
In fact, Trump is so far out on a limb, truth-wise, that he resorted to tweeting Friday morning that he was "completely vindicated" by Comey's testimony while simultaneously claiming that Comey lied.
"Trump is essentially claiming that he's been vindicated by testimony he's claiming is false," Oliver said. "At this point, he's become a walking logical paradox. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he starts tweeting things like, 'I just traveled back in time and killed myself. VERY UNFAIR!'"

Metro and Partners Launch $400,000 Fund to Bridge the Digital Divide
Anytime Access for All, a community initiative to bring computers and connectivity to MNPS students, has launched a pilot program at Hunters Lane High School.
One barrier to student achievement in Nashville is the digital divide. An estimated 44% of Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students (2012 TESS Survey) lack access to computers or connectivity at home. The achievement gap is defined by socio-economic boundaries, as is the digital divide, so, by creating equitable access to digital resources, we can positively impact the achievement gap.

A litigator also referred to as a trial advocate is a lawyer who represents the complainants and the defendants in civil cases. Litigation is a diverse process and requires one to be knowledgeable. For a person to qualify to be a litigator, he or she requires to;
i. Obtain a bachelor's degree: there is no official degree program required for admission in a law school, but a person aspiring to become a litigator may first take a bachelor's degree of his or her choice. Most common majors include English, history, government, and economics. These courses may help a person cope with the challenging demands of law school. Also, a student needs to be good in history, world news, finance, cultural diversity, and society.
ii. Earn a Juris Doctor Degree: law degree program typically takes three years to complete. In the first year, students are taught general legal topics such as civil procedure, legal writing, torts, and ethics. The other two years, students focus on their area of specialization such as litigation.
iii. Pass bar exam: a license is required for a person to participate law in any state in the US. For a qualified graduate to be licensed, he or she must sit in for a bar exam. Each state has its own bar exam which is administered by the licensing agency. The bar exam covers both the state law and general legal topics.
In addition, the following key skills are essential in litigation practice. These include; negotiation skills, excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to handle complex legal and factual materials, strong oral and written communication, knowledge of legal research techniques and software, the ability to think logically, and analytical skills.
Civil litigation is broad process that can be divided into several phases such; investigation, pleading, discovery, pre-trial, trial, and appeal. Discovery is the most critical stage. It involves the exchange of information concerning the case through interrogations, statements, and summons.
It is not every lawsuit that goes through all the stages. Some cases are settled by agreements between the complainant and the defendant with the help of litigator before reaching the courtroom.

Swing Change Should Be Tiger Woods' Next Step After Parting Ways with Sean FoleyAugust 25, 2014
Now that he has dropped swing coach Sean Foley, Tiger Woods will need more than an ice pack to invigorate his bruised and battered game.
Can Tiger make the changes that will get him off of his injury-laden merry-go-round to nowhere?
Over the next few months, Tiger must take a long, hard look at remaking himself to regain the confidence, flexibility and consistency that made him golf's most feared competitor and greatest star.
This is no easy task for someone whose body, and maybe even his spirit, has been so damaged over time. Just considering the long list of Tiger's injuries is enough to make one's body ache.
Forget about getting his 15th major in hopes of beating Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 career major titles. He may have trouble getting back to making cuts again.
When it comes to changing his swing or his coaches, he truly is like an uneasy Tiger, always moving, always on the lookout for something new.
Foley was the third coach in his vaunted career. He began working with Butch Harmon as a teenager, and they won eight majors together. Harmon changed Tiger's swing twice during his tenure, which ended in 2003. The biggest change came after Tiger won the Masters by 12 strokes.
Tiger altered his swing again with Hank Haney and won four majors and a total of 18 tournaments until their partnership ended in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
He hired Foley in 2010 for the PGA Championship. During their time together, Tiger suffered a variety of injuries but was still able to win three times in 2012 and five times in 2013. Yet he was unable to secure a major title with Foley.
Who will be his next coach? Your guess is as good as any although there are already odds being placed on the idea.
For someone so great, it is hard to fathom the numerous changes he has made to his swing. Just take a look at how his swing changed from 1992 through 2011.
But injury, more than age, has been Tiger's downfall. And it all began with his knee, not his back.
"It all started with the knee," Gary Huston, host of The Golf Connection Radio Show, explained to B/R's Will Carroll back in April. "He used to have a one-plane swing and he would post that knee, really hyperextend it to create more force. Now he's shifted to an over-the-top Sean Foley swing with a soft knee. He simply can't make the same move and get the same results."
Tiger's back injury, surgically repaired by microdiscectomy in March, may end up being his most debilitating yet.
Tiger rushed back into competitive play at the Quicken Loans National at the end of June. He played in just four tournaments, missing two cuts, withdrawing from one and finishing 69th at the U.S. Open.
He took the pressure off U.S. Ryder Team captain Tom Watson by announcing he would take time off to get his game back to a higher level.
"I've been told by my doctors and trainer that my back muscles need to be rehabilitated and healed. They've advised me not to play or practice now," Tiger wrote on his website.
He was not happy with his game or, it appears, with his coach.
Pride has always been Tiger's Achilles' heel.
Will his pride stand in the way of him making the next and, perhaps, most drastic change to his swing?
As any golfer with a back injury will tell you, it is much harder to follow through on your swing and release, both physically and psychologically, when your back is sore or tight.
In Tiger's case, he is known for his almost violent approach to the ball. There never seems to be a halfway. He attacks at full strength and extension and, in doing so, adds stress to his back, his knee and his entire body.
His next step should be to alter his swing and his approach.
Is there a reason guys with more languid swings, such as Phil Mickelson, are never injured? Will he adopt the straightforward, more cautious approach of older players such as Jim Furyk and David Toms, who continue to compete at a high level?
Can he win a major with that approach?
At age 38, Tiger has the body of a 50-year-old race car driver who has been in a never-ending series of accidents. His body is bumped and bruised, breaking down at an amazingly fast rate for a golfer. He appears to be more like a running back whose career expectancy is less than three years.
There is no doubt that Tiger changed the entire scope of physical fitness among golfers. His approach was more like other athletes. He favored protein over fat, hit the weights, ran long distances, worked on his core and displayed bulging muscles instead of a bulging gut.
You would think someone with such a regimen would suffer fewer injuries, not more. But that is another story.
Just take one look at Rory McIlroy's fit frame to get an idea of Tiger's impact on fitness. McIlroy is both the new face and the new body of golf. But McIlroy, like just about every other young player on the tour, drives the ball 300 yards on average.
What kind of changes will Tiger make in order to keep up with his competition?
Will he adopt the "old man" style of play, satisfied to drive it down the middle 280 and then rely on a hybrid to get his ball on the green? Will he eschew his overly physical approach to the ball in favor of a more fluid and less impactful swing?
This will be the subject of debate for many months to come.
The experts will discuss swing plane, swing path, forward shaft lean and any number of other technical details regarding Tiger's swing.
Before he parted ways with Foley, his swing was already under great scrutiny.
Notably, Paul Azinger, a former pro golfer and now an ESPN analyst, observed:
I think one of the big differences that's very rarely articulated is the fact that while Tiger in his dominance always – for whatever reason – was in this quest to get better, I don't remember Jack ever saying that. Jack might have made some tweaks and twerks, here and there, minor tweaks and twerks, but Tiger has made astronomical changes in a quest to get better. As a result, Tiger has actually gotten a little bit worse. I think we can all pretty much see that.
It is hard to believe that only one year ago, Tiger won five tournaments and finished as the No. 1 player in the world.
Yet despite all of the issues with his back and his current play, no one wants to second-guess this generation's greatest player's ability to resurrect himself again.
"Between playing bad and an injury to playing bad and being hurt now, he won five tournaments," golf teacher Brian Manzella says. "You don't ever count him out, and him playing good is good for all of us in the game."
Changing his swing yet again will be a monumental task, but it's exactly the sort of challenge that has made Tiger the most compelling athlete in sports.

From Sydney to San Fran to Dallas to Pensacola. My journey home was a long one. It is funny how your life can be completely transported. I woke up in Sydney and after a few flights, I arrived home where everything was the same. It is like life teleported me to some other place and then dropped me right back in the middle of things. The big news is that I am returning to Sydney. My job in Sydney liked me enough to ask me to return. So, return I will. I am excited to go back and nervous all at the same time. It's weird. I didn't really expect that it would pan out for some reason. I found out within a couple weeks of my departure that this was an option but for it to be a reality is surreal. I take it as a huge compliment. I guess that my former boss in ATL had beaten me down so much mentally that I was lacking self-esteem. Since my arrival, I have seen a lot of relatives that I haven't seen in a while and it has been good. I have eaten like a pig and slept more than I thought possible. It is pretty odd to think that a year ago at this time, I was sitting in my apartment in Atlanta, packing up my life for an adventure in Australia and here I sit, going back. One decision is like a domino effect, whether it be a positive decision or negative. One thing happens and then life plays out. Odd.

"...times have changed and times are strange, here I come but I a'int the same, Mama I'm coming home..."
339 days ago, I boarded a plane. I had quit my job, I sold my stuff, and I packed a bag. I was heading to Australia, somewhere that I had wanted to be for my entire life. I wanted to push myself and to see if I could make it on my own, far from home. Looking back, I do not have the perspective that I need just yet because it is all too fresh. I am still in the mix of it all but one day, I want to look back and realize that on paper, what I did was crazy but in the grand scheme of life, it was pretty amazing. People like me do not get to have experiences like this. I'm not pampered or spoiled but I am determined. I decided that I was going to control my circumstances, not anyone else or some idealized concept of what life "should be". So, I guess a fair question to ask is, "Do you still feel 'stuck'?" The answer is yes. I will always strive for more. I will grow and evolve and hope that I can achieve some existence greater than the current one that I have. But, I can safely say that the me leaving Australia is less panicked and less worried about every aspect of life. Australia has been like boot camp. It has broken me down, built me up, and it is shipping me off as a better person. I really feel like there is not one thing in life that I can't handle after this year. So, I remain "stuckatseven" but I've decided that I will never change it. Instead, I will adapt to my inadequacies and move forward. This journey has meant everything to me and to everyone who has read the blog and kept up with me, thank you. I guess now we all have to ask, "What's next?" I don't know but I'm ready!

"...I want to be a hunter again, I want to see the world alone again..."
Yesterday, I took a day trip to the Hunter Valley which is about 2 hours north of Sydney. The Hunter Valley is beautiful but it was the most boring tour I have ever been on. First of all, the tour guide never shut his mouth. Not even for one second. He talked and talked and then talked about how people told him that he talked too much. He also kept mentioning how bad his marriage was and, as a direct quote, he said, "Some warm milk and a cookie can give me a woody quicker than my wife." Awkward. The wineries were nice, I guess but I do not like wine or drink all that much, so it was only a sight-seeing tour for me. Also, I got really car sick. So, that was my final Saturday adventure in Oz. Now, I am ready to go home. I just have to get through this work week and Friday afternoon, I am on the plane and on my way!

"...well, I'm going home, back to the place where I belong, and where your love has always been enough for me..."
The time has come for me to go home soon and I am ready. What am I ready for? I am ready for my Mom to make me food. I am ready for my Dad to tell some lame joke and then poke me in the side because he knows that it pisses me off. I am ready for my brother Joe, to pretend that I don't exist and then lovingly call me a douche bag. I am ready for my brother, Andrew to try and act like he doesn't love me and then, when his friends aren't looking, give me a hug. I am ready to drive my car and listen to music. I am ready to see my dog and have him urinate on himself, with excitement,when I walk in the front door. I am ready to watch TV. I am ready to feel a sense of normalcy that I lack here. I am ready to sleep in a familiar bed. I am ready to go home! I love Australia and it has been an amazing experience but in this moment, I just need a break. A break back to normal. This year has been amazing. Some people write to me and say that I seem different and happier here than I ever was before and I don't know that that is true but I do know that I have taken leaps here in regards to trying to live life a little less planned. I've had adventures that I never expected and been to places that I really never thought I would see. Inevitably, an experience like this changes you and I feel that I walk away from it the same person but with different perspectives. I guess that time will tell how Australia has molded me but in the meantime, next Friday, I have a 42 hour trek back home to Pensacola and I am ready.

Hard to tell from this what you are having an issue with. For instance, does the number worry you because of the exposure/health concerns it raises or are you, deep down, maybe, making a moral judgement about it? Nothing really wrong with that, but it would be worth your notice.
I know, for me, it's absolutely certain that my relationship, whatever it is, with one person, does not devalue my relationship with another. They have nothing to do with each other at all. For me, that's one of the essential elemental truths about being poly. I have found in talking to new polyfolk that once they have experienced that reality for themselves they are more comfortable with the poly relationships of their partners. (In other words, if you get a chance to feel attraction/love/whatever to someone else and can feel that it does not diminish your feeling for your boyfriend, you might feel more comfortable with his relationships.)
This is not to say, of course, that one relationship can't diminish another, but that's a different dynamic and a different discussion.

Pennslyvania Increases Investment in Clean Fuels
Stakeholders meet at second international Energy from Biomass and Waste conference in Pittsburgh
Much is happening in Pennsylvania on the clean energy front. Last week, legislators passed the Alternative Energy Investment Act (AEIA), which provides over US$500 million of funding for alternative and clean energy and energy conservation projects. In addition to this, new biofuels legislation includes a mandate for sales of biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol blends and sets aside up to US$5 million for subsidies for biodiesel producers. At the 2nd International "energy from biomass and waste" (EBW) Exposition & Conference, held on October 14-16, 2008 in Pittsburgh, PA, stakeholders will meet to discuss new projects and see the latest technology for biomass and waste-to-energy conversion.
The second EBW Expo is expected to showcase exhibits from more than 80 international organizations and to attract over 1,000 delegates. Topics include; sustainable biomass; environmentally benign alternative fuel production; energy recovery from municipal solid waste; landfill diversion; water quality protection.
"EBW is all about clean, reliable and affordable energy supply from domestically available resources", explains Dr. Ines Freesen, Managing Director of the organizer Freesen & Partner GmbH. "In times of exploding fuel prices and growing concern over climate protection, air and water pollution, energy recovery from biomass and waste can become an important part of the solution."
The EBW Conference kicks off with a legislative and market update for the United States and Europe. Further sessions focus on: energy efficiency and cost saving potentials of biomass and waste conversion; anerobic digestion of energy crops, wood waste, agricultural and biowaste; the economic and ecological benefits of energy from biomass and waste; the state of affairs and perspectives for biofuel production; operating experience from bioenergy and waste-to-energy facilites.
The "energy from biomass and waste" (EBW) Exposition & Conference is organized by Freesen & Partner GmbH, Alpen, Germany and takes place on October 14 to 16, 2008 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
Show Hours:
October 14: 05:00pm-08:00pm Welcome Reception in Exhibit Hall with Keynote Speech
October 15: 09:00am-05:00pm Exhibits Open, Conference Sessions start at 10:00am
October 16: 09:00am-05:00pm Exhibits Open, Conference Sessions start at 10:00am

I have had multiple injuries throughout my football career. torn and strained muscles mostly. There is a device that is used to promote cell growth and health to help recover from injuries quicker. The device is ultra sound. That being said I am using an extender everyday and very happy about it. Extenders help promote cell division to increase length. Could using ultra sound while extending help with gains? Whether its faster, healthier, or what. I feel that it could help tremendously. But I am a 20 year old soon to be college drop out. I have stone knowledge of the subject so obviously I want someone with extensive knowledge of the subject to help.

Jolie's presence made Ray Winstone feel "sexy" in BeowulfNovember 14th, 2007 - 10:35 am ICT by admin
The 50-year-old star said that starring alongside the Tomb Raider beauty boosted his self-confidence.
He, however, acknowledged the fact that the film producers had to enhance his looks by digitally giving him the appearance of a muscular warrior, while Jolie did not require any such treatment.
"The difference is Angelina didn't need (enhancement) and I did. (But) it's not hard to be sexy when you're standing in front of Angelina Jolie or Robin (Wright Penn) to be honest with you - two of the most beautiful women in the world and two of the finest actors in the world," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
"I think if you're in a profession with people that are good in your profession, they become sexy because they're good at what they do," he added. (ANI)

Cernobbio 25th-26th of May
Last weekend saw this year's Concorso dôÇEleganza in the famous
gardens of the Villa dôÇEste and the nearby Villa Erba at the Lake
Como. First held in 1929 the original Concours was one of the
most important shows for the designers in an era when most of
the premium manufacturers delivered rolling chassis to be bodied
to the taste of the owner at various independent coachbuilder.
Especially the Italian and French names of Touring, Pinin Farina,
Zagato, Castagna, Figoni & Falaschi, Franay or Saoutchik but
also the in-house design of Mercedes-Benz or Erdmann & Rossi
from Berlin could be found in the entry lists of the time showing
their latest creations at the glamorous five-star hotel at Como.
... MediaCenter Car by car gallery (396 images) >>>
When the monocoque revolutionized the automobile design the
variety of the pre-war years came to an end as just a few
manufacturers like Ferrari or Maserati offered different body
design on the same chassis whereas most of the new models
had a fixed design either from the own design department or the
few surviving styling houses. This meant that the amount of one-
offs was reduced to the various Concept Cars or special orders
from wealthy individualists leading to the end of the classic
concours as most of the new models were shown on the big sale
shows in Paris, Geneva, London or Frankfurt on this side of the
Atlantic or in New York on the other side.
In the mid 1980s the Concorso dôÇEleganza was revived as an
classic car event building up a superb reputation attracting some
of the most important cars from all over the world over the next
years. When BMW took over the event in 1999 this secured the
financial future of the Concorso as this is a rather small show
compared to the big American Concours making it impossible to
raise the needed funds just by the tickets sales. More than just a
main sponsor the BMW group also delivers the needed logistic
and press work for an event of this prestige. Today the concours
features a private day on invitation in the garden of the Villa
dôÇEste and a public day at the nearby Villa Erba attracting more
than 6000 visitors this year.
The Days of Elegance officially started on Friday when the
entered cars arrived at the grounds of the Villa dôÇEste to get their
final inspection from the FIA representatives and the entrants
checked in at the hotel. Unfortunately the weather on Friday was
just as indicated the days before in the weather forecast so the
cars just disappeared in the underground parking to avoid the rain
showers instead of being set up on the various locations in the
gardens to take some pictures to remember.
In the late afternoon the sun was out for a few hours giving the
needed conditions for the evening reception in front of the hotel
with the unveiling of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe, a
new premium coupûˋ based on the 7-series.
Unfortunately the weather did not really improve over the night and
big clouds were hanging over the Lake Como when the cars left
the parking lot early in the morning to be set up an the historic
grounds. Among the first cars entering the field where the two
absolute stars of this event, the two Pebble Beach winning
entrants from the US. Being used to the very early beginning of
the American events where the cars are set up even before
sunrise the 2012 winning Mercedes 680S Saoutchik was driving
in by restorer Paul Russell before all the other cars just followed
by the long awaited Bugatti T57 SC Atlantic. Owned by American
fashion mogul Ralph Lauren the Bugatti was a rumoured entrant
several times over the last years before finally finding its way to
Como this year. Restored by Paul Russell as well this gem gave
Ralph Lauren his first Best of Show at Pebble Beach back in
1990 and now, 23 years later the car is still in immaculate
condition. Six years ago his Trossi Mercedes SSK already made
a sensational debut at the Villa dôÇEste but with his personal
appearance this year Ralph Lauren caused even more interest,
the car was surrounded on both days by the spectators and as
soon as the famous owner was around things went well over the
top causing a crowd never seen before as everyone was keen on
taking a picture of him in front of his car.
The Bugatti T57 SC Atlantic is one of just four build to this
design (including the prototype called ãElectronã) and one of just
two surviving original examples. The sister car was in all media
when sold in 2010 for a record price in a private sale, this
example (Chassis 57591) might be even worth more as it is
considered even more original although it is painted in Mr.
Lauren's favourite black colour scheme rather than the original
blue. All four examples feature some special design elements,
this car for example is the only one with external chromed head
lamps rather than integrated in the front fenders and it has
uncovered rear wheels making the rear a little less heavy
compared to the low front with the typical v-formed radiator of the
Unsurprisingly this car was not just the favourite of the public
giving it both the Coppa dôÇOro Villa dôÇEste (public vote at the Villa
dôÇEste) and the Public Referendum at the Villa Erba but also the
Trofeo BMW Group by the international Jury. This is just the third
time that one entrant could take home all three top honours after
the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Touring Berlinetta in 2009 and last
year's winning Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Figoni Coupûˋ.
Unfortunately this left the sensational Mercedes-Benz 680 S
Saoutchik Torpedo Roadster just with the Best in Class
award although this would have been a certain contender for the
top prizes in every other year. Chassis 35949 was ordered by
Charles Levine in 1928 but he never took delivery of the car. It was
repainted from the original grey to a more stylish yellow to sell the
car on the 1929 New York Motor Show. The car remained in the
first owners family for almost 8 decades before it was first sold in
2006 prior ending up in the current ownership just recently. The
car was brought back to its original specification with a pigeon
grey exterior and a very extravagant red lizard-skin interior (made
of 760 lizards) by the skilled hands of Paul Russell's restoration
team and took the top honours at last year's Pebble Beach
Concours in its post-restoration debut. Compared with the Bugatti
it is easy to see that the design of the 1930s is a little bit more
pleasing as the longer wheelbase and the higher radiator of the
1920s Supercharged Straight Six Mercedes-Benz chassis gave
the designer a bigger challenge to create a sportive two-seater.
Even with low windscreen of the Saoutchik design the Mercedes
looks much more massive than the design of Jean Bugatti on the
later Atlantic.
The other cars beside the Mercedes in the class A (Kings of the
Road) included the big Hispano-Suiza Cabriolet de Ville, an
elegant Isotto Fraschini 8A Torpedo Castagna and a duo of Rolls-
Royce. Whereas the Continental II was a more common Sedanca
by Gurney Nutting the Wraith was coach build by Erdmann &
Rossi, back in 1939 this was very uncommon to bring a British
car to a German design house due to the tensions between the
two countries just before the war. Last but not least one of two
Mercedes-Benz of the Straight Eight era with in-house
Sindelfingen design was the 540 K Cabriolet A (the very same car
that was sold at the RM auction at the same venue two years
earlier), the other one leading directly to the next class.
Class B (Thoroughbreds) included beside the already mentioned
Bugatti Atlantic a fantastic Mercedes-Benz 500 K Special
Roadster. For many this is the best design on this model range
with the floating lines on the back. Today many of the less
attractive Cabriolet B and C are converted to this body style but
the few remaining original Special Roadsters are amongst the
most valuable pre-war cars in todayôÇs market as can be seen by
the last example sold by Gooding&Company last year in
Monterey for more than 11,7 million $. The car in Como is known
as the ãButcherôÇs Carã due to its remarkable history as the car
was bought by a butcher in the 1950s. He drove the car as long
as he could afford it but increasing petrol prices in this era took
the car of the road and into storage where it was rediscovered
three decades later when a wall was taken down behind the
butcher shop for reconstruction work. Since then the car was
restored to concours winning condition and was part of the Rosso
Bianco collection in Aschaffenburg (Germany) before it found its
way into the superb Louwman Collection in the Netherlands.
Other entrants were the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an experimental
chassis with Boat tail body by Javis, a small BMW 328 as a rare
Wendler Cabriolet and a classic Zagato design, the Alfa Romeo
6C 1750 Grand Sport that just completed the Mille Miglia the
week before. Just as the MG in a later class a good polish made
forget the gruelling tour through the bad weather of the MM. The
class was rounded off by a Lagonda LG45 Rapide.
Class C was dedicated to the years of transition after the
war. As mentioned above the time of the coachbuilders came to
an end and just a few of them survived the transition to the
monocoque era just as some manufacturers did not survive that
change. A duo of Talbot-Lago designed by Franay and Letourneur
et Marchard are good examples for this era, or the Stabilimenti
Farina designed Jaguar MKVII. Others like H-J.Mulliner or Park
Ward became the coachbuilders for the standard design of
Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The last of the cars in this class was
the Ferrari 500 Superfast prototype (s/n 5951SF) representing the
time when Pininfarina became the favoured designer for the whole
Ferrari range in the early 1960s. This car featured some unique
details not found on the later cars including the bulge on the
bonnet or different side vents.
The first of this year's anniversary classes featured the
centenary of Aston Martin in class D. Aston Martin was
founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Starting to
built cars for small races and hill climbs the company was named
after its founder and the local Aston hill climb. Before the war the
company changed hands a few times with its most successful
era in the early 1930s when the 1.5 litre model had some
success in the international racing with class wins at Le Mans or
the Ulster TT. Unfortunately this part of the history was not
honoured in Como as the earliest car already dated from the
David Brown era after the war. The ãSpa Replicaã is one of the first
cars built after the war based on the Atom-Prototype and a 2-litre
engine and won outright the 1948 Spa 24 hours. This was the
base for the DB race program that led to the Le Mans victory in
1959 with the DBR1 and this car already features the three-piece
grill of the later DB2 that was the first proper car with the David
Brown signet in the name.
The second car in the class is one of the most famous Aston
Martin of all time, the DB4 GT Zagato lightweight with the famous
registration number ã2VEVã. After David Brown achieved his goal
of winning Le Mans in an own car and after the unfortunate
excursion into formula 1 Aston Martin had no official race program
any more. Nevertheless there was a ãsemi-worksã Essex Racing
Stable by John Ogier who entered two special commissioned
DB4 GT Zagato in the hands of such famous drivers as Jim Clark
and Roy Salvadori in Le Mans and Goodwood. At the end of its
active racing (a replacement was already ordered by Ogier)
ã2VEVã was driven by the Equipe National Belge with Lucien
Bianchi in Spa 1962 where the car was badly crashed. For tax
reasons the ordered new lightweight car was numbered to the
Chassis number of the crashed car and took over its place in the
future (this is why just 19 and not 20 Zagatos exist). The ãnew
2VEVã was later driven by Jim Clark in the Tourist Trophy were it
collided with John SurteesôÇ Ferrari 250 GTO. This lightweight
design features a lowered roof line and front to reduce drag and a
very thin aluminium racing body and might be the best looking
DB4 GT Zagato.
Two of the other three cars in this class have one thing in
common: they both appeared on TV. The DB4 Cabriolet was the
car that was intended to be driven over the cliffs in the original
ãThe Italian Jobã and was reunited in Como with one of the Mini
drivers in the movie who was also responsible for the acquisition
of the film cars including a Lancia Flaminia Cabriolet to ãdoubleã
the Aston in its ride over the edge.
The orange DBS is more known due to its typical colour: it was
the transport of Lord Sinclair (Roger Moore) in the 1970s TV-
series ãThe Persuadersã wearing its famous registration ãBS1ã.
Class E was dedicated to the two famous companies from
Modena, Ferrari and Maserati. Just as the previous special
exhibition in the Casa Enzo Ferrari (Enzo FerrariôÇs birth house)
this class was named ãPrancing Horse vs. Tridentã in a time when
Ferrari and Maserati were main rivals on the track and the road.
Three cars each from the early 1950s and 1960s displayed some
of the best designs on the twelve and six cylinder cars. The
earliest one was the 212 Ferrari Export Barchetta by Touring
(0136E) brought over from the US. The pendant at this time was
the Maserati A6G 2000 built in two series in 1950 and later in
1954. Three cars were shown in Como with a Frua Cabriolet (s/n
2030) representing the first series and a unique Zagato Spider
(s/n 2101) and another Frua Spider (2182) representing the
second series. The Zagato Spider is a very unique car displayed
recently in Modena but not few had the opinion that the Zagato
design suits better in the coupûˋ version. The two Frua designs
were very different with a vertical radiator mask on the older
version and the later horizontal design on the later one giving it a
lower elegant appearance.
The class was rounded off by two representatives of the Ferrari
250 series, an open headlight SWB California Spider (2505GT)
and a Street SWB Berlinetta (2649GT). The later one had some
exclusive features for its first owner including chromed vents and
a special leather covered dashboard.
Class F was called California Dreaming and was dedicated to
the small roadsters and spiders that were very popular in the
sunny climate of California. With small or even without weather
protection they were specially designed for this important market
just as the Porsche 356 Speedster. As the normal Cabriolet
featured a padded hood, side windows and a massive windscreen
frame the Speedster had a unpadded hood and a spartan interior.
Maybe the most elegant and open air possibility to drive a Fiat 8V
engine was the Siata 208S. Although not specially designed for
the American Market most of these cars were sold to the
sunshine state, the car in Como was in immaculate condition in
an elegant dark blue colour.
Best in class went to a car that was born by chance. At the end
of its active racing career with a lot of international victories the
Jaguar D-Type finally was not up to date anymore and some cars
remained unsold. But what was not good enough for the race
track any more was more than welcome for the road so the
remaining chassis were converted for street use with bumpers, a
top and a luggage rack to be called XKSS. This might have been
the first Supercar before this name was invented years later for
the Lamborghini Miura.
The first car in class G (Speed and Style) had something in
common with the XKSS, it was converted from a race car, but the
history of the Ferrari 250 LM Stradale is a different one as it was
built one the peak of the 250 LM race career.
After the GTO was dated in 1965 Ferrari introduced the all new
250 LM but unlike with the GTO a homologation in the GT class
was refused as the car was more similar to the prototypes 250 P
than to any of the road cars. Some say that to show that the 250
LM could be a road car as well this one-off road legal version was
built for the Geneva and New York Auto show by Pininfarina. It
features small bumpers and a plexiglas rear window, a red leather
interior and electric side windows. The frame of the side windows
made a new door layout necessary so the door is not containing
parts of the roof like the ãnormalã 250 LM but a separate part to
fold up to ease entrance. As the car has an all American history
this was the first time in years that this car was seen in Europe to
win its class.
Another Ferrari in the class was the 250 GT TdF (0903GT), the
last version with 1 louvre behind the doors. This car was seen
before at Pebble Beach and at this yearôÇs Cavallino Classic.
Two years ago the Bertone Collection was sold at the RM Auction
at the Villa dôÇEste and part of this collection was the Lancia
Sibilo. This concept car was bought by Corrado Lopresto who is a
regular entrant at the Concorso and known for his preference for
one-offs. It was very funny when during the winners parade
Lopresto's small dogs was looking out of the small round windows
very much to the enjoyment of the public giving the ceremony a
funny and personal moment.
Class H featured the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini. The
story of Lamborghini is well known to begin with a visit of
Ferruccio Lamborghini in the Ferrari factory where Enzo Ferrari
told him that the unreliability of Ferruccio's personal Ferrari was
not a problem of the car but of the owner who is used to drive
tractors (as Lamborghini produced tractors) rather than sports
cars. This lead Ferruccio to built his own sport car and the first
350 GTV was introduced in 1963. According to Simon Kidston
(who led through the parade as usual in fluent English and Italian
telling a lot of entertaining stories), who has an own passion for
the cars with the bull in the signet the first car was displayed
without engine (but some bricks inside simulate the engine load)
as the engine did not fit in the compartment of the prototype.
Certainly this was corrected after the show and the 350 GT (with
revised front) went into production in 1964. The Concorso featured
a very early 350 GT (with the tractor badge rather than the sports
car badge) and the very first open Lamborghini, a 350 GTS that
also won the class.
On the following 400 GT Touring built a shooting break one-off the
Flying Star II named after the famous one-off design on a Alfa
Romeo and Isotto-Fraschini before the war.
Certainly there is no display of Lamborghini without the legendary
Miura, maybe to most famous of all Lamborghini models. The
extravagant Miura was ordered very often in very bright colours
underlining the advanced design of the early 1970s, most popular
was an orange and yellow but the French blue suits as well.
The last of the classic car classes (Class I) was dedicated to
the race cars and featured the already mentioned MG K3, a Fiat
508 CS MM, the smallest car of the concours (Bandini 750
Siluro), and a duo of Ferrari. The 250 GT TdF (0563GT) was one
of the first series TdF and was also entered at the Mille Miglia the
week before were it finished.
Last but not least the Ferrari Dino 166P/206P (0834) was shown
again at the Villa DôÇEste. Last year the current owner bought this
prototype of the 206P after a very active racing career in historic
racing and have shown this multiple Targa Florio entrant at
numerous events. On all outings the small Dino won its class and
at the Schloû Bensberg Classic it was even awarded Best of
Show. In Como it was again Best in Class and joined the winners
circle lined up in front of the hotel on Sunday evening when the
Best of Show was announced after the Gala Dinner.
Since BMW took over the event a special class for modern
concept cars was established. As the previous date early in
April collided with the Shanghai Motor Show that attracts most of
these prototypes the Concorso was even rescheduled to todayôÇs
May date.
The new concept cars included a design study of Aston Martin to
honour the centenary including design elements of the famous
DBR1. Other cars of interest were the Pininfarina ãSergioã
Barchetta in memory of the late Sergio Pininfarina, the all new
McLaren P1 (both cars not in drivable condition), a Subaru
Crossover and a electric Infinity Coupûˋ. Zagato brought the TZ3
Stradale and Touring the new Alfa Romeo Disco Volante that won
the concept car prize.
This year Concorso was again superb. Whereas the ever
increasing value of the top cars tends to keep them away from the
driving events the international concours become even more
important to see these cars. Many events on both sides of the
Atlantic are competing for the best cars and few can match the
selection of the Concorso dôÇEleganza. Compared to the American
shows at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island this is a rather small
event as the space in the historic gardens limits the number of
entrants. On the other side this generates an ambience that is
superior to the usual golf course concours, a characteristic that
attracts cars from all over the world. Although the Best of Show at
Pebble might be still of more importance also the American
owners love to show their cars in a historic surrounding that
cannot be found in the US.
With a two day program in the Villa dôÇEste and the public day this
gives everyone the opportunity to admire the cars on the field and
a day of bad weather could be compensated. On Sunday the
weather was as expected in Italy with sun all day after a rainy and
very cold Saturday.
The weather also led to a funny moment on Saturday during the
parade: new this year in the jury was Swiss concept artist,
entrepreneur and former singer of 1980s cult band Yello. Dieter
Meier. When feeling cold during the parade Meier helped himself
and this might have been the first time a honoree judge was
sitting in an additional bathrobe on the podium.
For the moment we have put together a preview including all the
cars on show that weekend, the galleries will be updated next
week after the Gaisbergrennen in Salzburg (Austria)
that is on the program this weekend.

Is Sarah Palin a game-changer? Too early to tell, by a long shot. But we'll tell you who thinks so, and who even now is frantically digging all over Alaska looking for some dirt to mix with the water of attack politics so she can be discredited as a qualified vice presidential candidate. And who is that? Guess.
Her selection by John McCain, of course, proves a couple of things, perhaps the most important of which is that he's as crafty and determined at 72 as he was defying his Viet Cong captors back in North Vietnam. It looks to be about the boldest choice a presidential candidate has made since ... well, maybe never. And, despite recent polls showing him virtually tied with Barack Obama, he's widely viewed as the underdog in the race, and thus in need of a bold move. Which he provided.
Sarah Palin brings a number of things to the table. At 44, she's the youngest of the four top-of-the-ticket candidates. She seems to be both an economic and a social conservative, and so can appeal not only to the GOP's broad base, but most importantly - from our point of view - to the libertarians.
Already, in just a couple of days, her basic background is becoming widely known. She's the former mayor of Wasilla, basically a suburb of Anchorage; won the governorship as a reformer in 2006; and has been a Republican insurgent, challenging the corrupt Alaska Republican establishment.
She's also a lifetime National Rifle Association member, an opponent of abortion whose fifth child is a Down syndrome baby she carried to term, and is an advocate of small government conservatism.
She opposes gay marriage but it is said is open to the kinds of rights civil unions would confer. She killed the infamous "bridge to nowhere" project over the opposition of its porkbarrel sponsor, Sen. Ted Stevens. Her son joined the Army last year and is about to be deployed to Iraq.
And she's a woman, in case no one noticed.
The downside? She has no experience - zero - in foreign policy, and little experience with domestic issues outside Alaska. Her presence on the GOP ticket would make it more difficult for Republicans to exploit Barack Obama's inexperience, except that if the Democrats win, his training for president will be on-the-job. She'll have less scrutiny and pressure, and more time to learn how to play the Oval Office game as vice president.
As for the coming debate with Joe Biden, we suspect he'll have to be more careful than she at how he conducts himself. The TV audience may forgive her for any slip about her lack of foreign policy knowledge, but any indication on Biden's part that he's being condescending or dismissive would be fatal to the Democrat ticket, particularly because all those Hillary Clinton supporters would immediately take notice - and offense.
Boy, hasn't this gotten to be fun all of a sudden?

Hi Folks,
We have A LOT planned for this summer! I wanted to make it cost effect for folks to learn as much as they can with the time that I can offer. I thought doing a more group-based learning system may work well for some of you. The clinics are based on understanding horses on a more in-depth scale as well as hands-on learning for you, the horse enthusiast. I have different clinics planned, geared for just groundwork, just riding, and a combination of the two. I also added Liberty and Trick training because I feel we need to have FUN when we train our horses. There's so much more we can do with our horses if we just get more creative. With that idea in mind, I thought, why not have Play Days too? That we it's a little better cost for joining in a group, but with two hours we get more time to practice the things we learned through lessons or at a clinic. I wanted to be able to offer clinics and group learning for people that don't have their own horse, and for those that do.
So with that in mind, bring your friends out to the ranch for a fun, safe learning experience that's all hands-on. I welcome people to come watch us as we train or audit the clinics or group lessons. All the information is on the website, so be sure to check it out!
Jack and Indy are two new horses that I was able to lease for the summer. Jack is a 13 year old Palomino Paint and Indy is a 12 year old Bay quarter horse gelding. Both horses are in training through the month of May to become lesson horses for the summer months. I've known these two horses for two years now! I helped their owners Lindsey and Jeremy with their purchase. It's been fun watching the bond between horse and owner grow over the past couple years. We have plenty of horses for you to come ride and learn from with the new leased horses, our long term boarder horse Echo, and all the OCHS lesson horses!
On to a few other updates: April had her baby goats! She had one white girl, Maybelle, and one brown boy, Dakota! Both are happy and healthy. They will also be for sale in June. Snowbell is due to have her babies any day – her due date is May 4th! I am excited to see what she has. I do plan on keeping one doe for future breeding. Goats have been an absolute blast to have!
The Future Plans of Owl Canyon Horse Services:
So this will be hard to write… I love all my family, friends, and clients that I have here in northern Colorado. Everyone has left a huge impact on me (don't worry most of it is GOOD lol!). Through lessons and clinics I have learned so much more about horsemanship and myself. I have found that I don't have nearly the good weather that I need to be able to improve my skills and build my dream ranch the way I wish I could. So, I think it's time for me to take a leap of faith and take a step in a slightly new direction…
I plan to move to Arizona (Prescott or North Phoenix) in October or November of 2016 and start a southern version of "OCHS". I would like to start up a high end boarding facility with 12-16 boarded horses. This will hopefully leave me with a nicer climate to ride more, teach more, learn more, and care for more horses. It's going to be a financial struggle and I will have to downsize my beloved herd to make this step happen. Please think of me and my horses as we start our journey towards greater success and helping more people succeed in their journey with horses. I would greatly appreciate any and all support you may have.
I still plan to run OCHS Summer Camps as well as lessons and a few clinics here in Wellington in 2017! But, I will not be able to set up plans officially until January or February 2017. I would love to be here in Colorado from May through August for the years to come. We will see what is in store for this new chapter and adventure!
Thank you all for being so wonderful!
May the horse be with you.
Kate with OCHS


text: Hello all, My iMac was running slow after a short power cut. I tried disconnecting some external hard drives but the problem consisted. I run he Disk Utility, Verify... it found some problems on my Startup Disk and adviced me to Repair the Disk by inserting the DVD and run Disk Utility from there. This I cannot do as my DVD driver is broken and does not read anything. I restarted in Safe Mode and run the Disk Utility Then I tried to erase empty space of aprox 200GB(god knows why). I did the quick version of this action. After about an hour the progress bar did not move at all plus I was geting messages that there is no empty space on my startup disk. So I tried t skip but the procedure wouldn't stop. So I force quit, but then I am left with no empty space on my Disk, literally 0KB available. I started looking for the temporary file to delete it, meanwhile I did create some empty space by deleting some temporary files. I then tried to restart...but I CAN"T. The white screen appears plus a bottom progress bar, as if I'm starting in Safe Mode again, then the iMac shuts down on itself. I realise this is because of the lack of empty space, or the fact that indeed my startup disk is corrupted...or both The current situation is that I am unable to start my iMac and I cannot do any work. Remember that my DVD driver does not read any DVD's or CD's. Is there any way that I can fix this on my own, or should I go for professional help? I operate Snow Leopard 10.6.8, have 1TB Hd for a startup and 16GB of Memory RAM thank you all in advance

Well, now you can learn exactly how to make an Elsa braid, or an Anna braid, for that matter, or any number of fun hairstyles inspired by Frozen. We are absolutely loving Disney Frozen Hairstyles, which just came out in October (and is currently available for just $9.50!). There are dozens of great looks, ranging from styles the beginner can try all the way to more complicated techniques that will require more practice. The pictures are cute and fun and my daughter really loves flipping through the pages.
Or if your child wants an up-do like Mulan's one day, and a ponytail like Jasmine's the next, you might be the right candidate for Disney Princess Hairstyles (currently $10.56 on Amazon). While this book also has some looks that are too complicated for me to attempt without some practice, I really love that all the styles are created on little girls, instead of on adult models. And I think the books do a good job of showing each step.
Here's a very simple little trick I learned and that I've been doing with Darah's hair for the past few weeks. You simply take a regular braid and hold on to one of the 3 sections of hair while you push the other sections back up. Then you can guide them back down a bit to achieve the look you want. It looks like a more elaborate braid in the end.
I do this on either side of her head and connected the two braids in the back with a ponytail holder. It's very simple and very cute!
I think either one of these books would be a hit with any princess fan. Having long hair is definitely a plus, as most of these styles are intended for kids with long hair, just FYI.

Furthermore I don't see blinking as a text decoration. It is clearly an animation. So tossing it away would be my first option. Of course that's breaking existing functionality. Though 1. it is almost never used 2. if it is used, then in a distracting way. SebastianReceived on Monday, 6 August 2012 05:03:09 UTC
