Evanescence Offer Inside Look at Upcoming Video for 'My Heart Is Broken'
Evanescence have announced that their next single will be 'My Heart Is Broken,' and the band recently took up shop in Los Angeles to film the video for the song.
Singer Amy Lee told MTV that the inspiration for the video was drawn from a movie called 'Paperhouse' that left a lasting impact. The movie was a 1988 British film mixing both fantasy and horror about a girl with the ability to have everything she drew come to life in her dreams. At first it seems ideal, but it soon turns into a nightmare.
Lee put a spin on that idea for their video, and describes the concept as follows: "So, you're in a place that, at first, is a magical world, but at the same time, you're isolated and trapped there, and that's the reason you want to come back to reality after a time."
The band experimented with fiber optics, allowing Lee to draw the world around her, and the rest of the band's performance acts as a dream within her dream.
Evanescence worked with director Dean Karr on the video, which is set to make its debut in January. Watch Lee's interview with MTV below for more details.

A Harvard evolutionary biologist thinks babies' nighttime crying spells are a form of birth control.
David Haig hypothesizes that babies demand food at all hours of the night to exhaust their mothers and prevent them from ovulating. This works to the baby's advantage, Haig believes, because if the mother can't become pregnant and have another child, the baby is likely to get more attention and more food and improve its chances for survival.
In our modern-day society this seems a little far-fetched, but hundreds of years ago, when birth control didn't exist and people hunted and gathered for their food, Haig's evolutionary theory is plausible.
Today's society more commonly assumes that babies wake in the night because they need food, but Haig claims that babies get plenty of nourishment even if they sleep through the night. Around-the-clock feedings are entirely unnecessary for babies to maintain a healthy weight. Haig theorizes babies cry to keep their mothers infertile. In a paper for Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, he writes "babies waking at night to suckle is an adaptation of infants to extend their mothers' lactational amenorrhea."
Lactational amenorrhea — the temporary infertility that occurs when a woman is not menstruating and fully breastfeeding — is a controversial topic. Many women assume they're not ovulating in the first few months after giving birth so they don't go on birth control or use protection—and then they end up getting pregnant. Nursing isn't a fool-proof form of birth control. But according to the Mayo Clinic, within the first 6 months postpartum, lactational amenorrhea in women who are exclusively breastfeeding is 98 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The scientific community isn't entirely buying into Haig's theory. University of Rhode Island anthropologist Holly Dunsworth pointed out in an NPR segment that babies feed at night for many reasons. For example, Dunsworth says, nighttime nursing offers the opportunity for mother and child to bond.
"There are so many good juices running through infant and mom," Dunsworth told NPR. "It's rewarding beyond the calories and hunger satiation for everyone involved. … When you look at it from that perspective, waking up to feed looks more like cooperation than conflict."
Harvard evolutionary biologist Katherine Hinde brought up another important point.
…babies evolved to cry at night thousands and thousands of years ago when people's sleeping habits weren't like they are today. Back then, people weren't working 9 to 5 in offices and trying to get eight hours of sleep. Instead, we were likely hunters and gatherers whose sleep schedules were flexible and likely fragmented. "The expectation that mothers and infants 'should' have uninterrupted, consolidated sleep is, in many ways, a historical artifact," Hinde in the same journal, in a response to Haig's idea.
One more thing to consider: Babies nighttime crying jags might also be working as a form of birth control by not allowing mom and dad to get intimate. Fitting in baby-making time in between newborn feedings is next to impossible.

KOffice 1.3.5 Released
The KOffice team is happy to bring you the fifth bugfix release of KOffice. KOffice 1.3.5 features a new language (Breton), the PDF import filter includes a stronger security fix and there are also a few fixes for the OpenOffice.org Impress Export Filter.
Great, keep up the good work. A few binaries already available, I hope more distros contribute though, KDE 3.3.2 is also around the corner, so the timing is pretty good :)
By User at Tue, 2004/11/23 - 6:00am
can Koffice (Kwriter then, I guess) save its documents already in .swx and/or read .swx files?
This would give me more incentive to try Koffice. I want something lighter than OOo.org, but I actually think this fileformat will (and has to) become very popular and standardized. If as well Koffice as Abiword as OpenOffice as... use this, this will be a real strength, not to mention becomeing easier to share documents.
By Darkelve at Tue, 2004/11/23 - 6:00am
Re: .swx-compatibility?
We'll have to wait for KOffice 1.4 to have it using the OASIS file format. I hope we'll see the release next year...
By birdy at Wed, 2004/11/24 - 6:00am
Re: .swx-compatibility?
KWord can already read and write OpenOffice 1.x documents. (However please do not await wonders...)
However it is not directly this format that is being standardized. The OASIS openffice format is based on this format but differs in details, so that both formats are not compatible. That is why there are new file name extensions (for example .oot for the wordprocesor format).
And OASIS will only be available from KOffice 1.4 on (current KOffice CVS HEAD.) However there is still much work to do (and as always: volunteers welcomed!)
Have a nice day!

KOffice my favourite
I like the KOffice suite a lot. It is an amazing bundle of good code and still very promising but lacking developers somewhat.
Everybody moans about .doc format oddities. I wonder however, why Rich Text Format does not work well with OSS word processors. It is a well documented format, isn't it? It is well supported by M$ own word processors, right?
One more question: how many man-hours do you estimate a M$ Word import filter would need to reach 5 star status ***** (port of the Oo.o filter or an evolution of the existing import filter) given the OASIS format already works?
Keep up the good work!
By kmsz at Tue, 2004/11/23 - 6:00am
Re: KOffice my favourite
Guess what?
A standard rtf does not allways work with MSWord or OO.org. You need to test every small change with them if you want rtf filter to be reliable.
That being said, rtf import and export (the basics) works ok.
About .doc filters, both ways it would take _a lot_ time. It's possible, though, that in OO.org 2.0 the filter code would be easier to use. At the moment the port would be very hard.
By Tapio Kautto at Wed, 2004/11/24 - 6:00am
Re: KOffice my favourite
Yes, this is a big problem for the RTF export filter. If you test the filter only with OpenOffice, it might not work on MS Word.
Have a nice day!

Re: pdf exports
I can't get it to use the correct fonts when I print, so there is no way it is going to get them correct for a PDF.
I tried a test sheet using Times & Helvetica (which are the fonts needed for a good PDF).
The PS file has: TimesNewRomanPSMT & Helvetica-Condensed-Light
This is seriously broken.
By James Richard Tyrer at Wed, 2004/11/24 - 6:00am
One area with a high potential impact/work ratio for KOffice would be better templates. For instance, the default template in KWord, is not too pleasing for the eye.
I have tried importing blank files/templates from other word processors (including taking a normal.dot file from MS Word, opening and saving it in OO Writer and then opening it in KWord) but with little success.
I also attach a template for KWord, where I have made the following changes to the default template;
1) After each headline, the default next style is something called standard-first, which is just the old standard style (not indented).
This is based on the Swedish standard template, so all styles have Swedish names ("standard-first" is really "Standard-första" etc.). But you'll get the idea... I tried renaming everything, but that triggered some bugs, its seems.
By Martin at Wed, 2004/11/24 - 6:00am
Re: Templates
If you want to use a template from MS Word, I suggest that you save it as RTF in MS Word. It should be better then.
As for better templates, as long as the conversion to OASIS is not done, there is little use of doing better templates. (I do not know if the template dialog could already process OASIS files or not.)
As for the attached template, the points 1 to 3 are perhaps what is wanted for a Swedish user but that is not the normal behaviour... which brings us to the problem how to localize templates... which is another problem (and already a bug in KDE Bugs).
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Thu, 2004/11/25 - 6:00am
Re: Templates
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this... But anyway:
1. Word import
Unfortunately, the RTF import did not work for me. I tried many different ways of getting several versions of Normal.dot into KWord. None worked for me. Someone else might have better luck, of course. I suspect it heavily depends on what goes on in the MS Word side of the equation. Other MS templates do work, however, see my post here:
2. Paragraph styles
While different locales will have different preferences as to how the first and subsequent paragraphs in a section should be formatted, using indentation or whitespace, something like the behaviour in the attached template will still be needed. Using the standard template I have to hit Enter twice (typewriter-style) to differentiate between a soft line break and a paragraph break.
3. Header styles
AFAIK the rule in other word processors is to use the same font for the numbers and the actual text in numbered headers. Don't you agree that mixing a font with its bold version looks strange?
By Martin at Thu, 2004/11/25 - 6:00am
Re: Templates
Too bad. Has KWord refused to load it or was it just that the result was not what you had expected?
Yes but again, having an empty line between paragraphs is also dependant of the use (even if I understand what you mean as in Germany too paragraphs in a letter should have an empty line between them).
Personally, I would very much like something like a wizard, but I have still not any idea how to implement it correctly. (And users might not like it much, as they will probably use only one or two variants as templates.)
I am surprised that you tell that you have a different font between numbers and the text in headers. That is a problem that I have never seen.
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Fri, 2004/11/26 - 6:00am
Re: Templates
1. It loads, but none of the actual style information (which is what I'm after) is imported.
3. In Kword 1.3.4, create an empty document. Select the style "Head 1". Type in the text "1.". The automatically generated "1." is not in bold style, but the one you typed is.
You too have a nice day!
By Martin at Sat, 2004/11/27 - 6:00am
Re: Templates
Ah, yes, now I see the bold problem too.
Can you create a bug report in KDE Bugs, please?

.doc write compatibility
While I abhor the business ethics of Microsoft, and would much prefer to use non-proprietary software formats, I find that, specifically as a college student, my documents are required more and more to be shared in electronic format with Windows users, many of whom are unsavvy and prefer to use their packaged word processor.
Ergo, the ability to save documents in the MS Word .doc format is a very nice feature, as well as the respective .ppt and .xsl file formats.
Yes, we do need to look to the future of producing new file formats. However, these documents are produced in the first place to be read by an audience. With Microsoft's commanding lead in desktop marketshare, and thus in audience, I feel that it is only prudent for KOffice to place developers in the production of an export filter for the .doc format, whcih is currently non-existant.
Kris Kerwin
By Kris Kerwin at Tue, 2004/11/30 - 6:00am
Re: .doc write compatibility
No, it's highly debatable whether it's "prudent" for KOffice (what is that? that's an application suite which can't act on its own!) to "place developers in the production" (that reads like someone ought to force someone else to do that, good luck trying that in this community which is still heavily based on volutariness) of an export filter for the .doc format.
I'd suggest you to pay a developer for this purpose, you apparently know that it's worth it after all.
By ac at Wed, 2004/12/01 - 6:00am
Re: .doc write compatibility
I'm beginning to find it quite difficult to post an opinion in online forums pertaining to UNIX workalikes. I have to try very hard to watch what I say -- to not to start a flame war with a single thread. I am at the point that I am nearly discouraged from commenting in the first place.
In our "community which is still heavily based on voluntariness" to survive, we do not only volunteer our time and effort; which I am unable to provide as I lack the skills to apply to a project, the time in order to obtain those skills, and the money to fund the further development. No -- we also volunteer ideas.
I believe, as an outsider looking in upon the world of the developer, that that is much of what coding is: forming ideas. However, I do not possess the ability to express these ideas in terms appreciable by a compiler -- only what may be understood by a person.
I feel that it is counterintuitive for a community that's greatest commodity is imagination to stunt the spread of information. I feel that comments like the one above not only debate the views of another -- which is fine, even welcomed in an intellectual community such as this -- but also contribute to in effect discouraging comments in the first place. Speak to newbies -- there is a sense of fear in many, including myself. This is as dangerous as the propriety that we seek to fight.
To perhaps justify my motivations for posting the grandparent comment, I present the following. Curious as to why no work had yet started on this feature, I checked at www.koffice.org. I felt that with a file-format so widely used outside of the UNIX world, surely some discussion had begun about the possibility of beginning work on one. I found no discussion. I searched the wish-lists at bugs.kde.org, and still found nothing. As far as was evident to me, no discussion had yet begun, the feature was not being considered as a possiblity. The purpose of my comment was not to demand a feature as an angry end-user, insensitive to the needs of the developer; the purpose of my comment was to hopefully begin such a discussion, with the end product being the suggested feature.
I apologize if I offended some; that was not my goal. My intentions were only to make a suggestion, to begin a discussion, and receive input. It appears to me, however, that I made a mistake in picking my forum, though I felt that the topic did contain some relevance as others were speaking of support for other file-formats.
Please, let's continue.

Re: .doc write compatibility
Asking for .doc format compatibility however is in no way a creative idea. Actually reverse enginering and ensuring compatibility with a broken illogical format is about the most boring and repetitive job one can do, unless one is motivated by such a Herculean challenge by the sake of it, someone whom you can doubt to find at places like here where everyone either contributes already or prefers not to contribute at all. It's in my (and I'm sure others') interest to discourage such requests like yours unless they are backed in some substantial way (you could easily pledge money, offer to collect and maintain a collection of useful reverse enginered information about the .doc format etc. but you did none of that to begin with and such have no idea about the effort involved at all). If you want to encourage development ask Eric Laffoon how he got Quanta to where it is today.
And no, you offended nobody, posts like yours usually just get ignored for the above reasons. I'm just trying to do you a service by pointing out this fact and saving you the time to write more such posts if you don't intend to back your own suggestions. Writing text on some random forum and doing nothing else but still expection something to change is very cheap. Heck, you didn't even react to my suggestion to just pay a developer to create what is worth being created in your opinion.
By ac at Wed, 2004/12/01 - 6:00am
Re: .doc write compatibility
I do think that there were discussions about this subject. (I mean: even beyond the classical "Why do you not use OO's filter code?")
Seeing how difficult it is to make a stable RTF export filter that work with most word processor applications, I personally think that doing a correct MS Word export would be even more difficult. (With also probably the problem to know which (sub-)version to support.)
So personally, I would prefer that we get enough effort to make a correct RTF export filter first. But even that is difficult, because those knowing how to develop have either no time or no copy of MS Word to test the result... or both problems.
Have a nice day!

Following the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, "They said I was the number one trending topic on Twitter," says Sheree Whitfield.
The tweets were flying due to the very heated on-camera argument she had with her party planner Anthony. When Anthony snapped to Sheree, "You better check yourself," she hissed back with what is destined to be her signature line, "Who's gonna check me, boo?"
After watching the scene unfold on TV, Sheree says, the incident looked really bad and people like Anthony are opportunists who want publicity. She also adds, "He thinks he's going to benefit from it, but to me, you look like a fool. You look like an ass on TV. Who wants to be remembered like that?"
Anthony has refused to apologize for the incident.

Blacksmiths in the 18th Century
Excerpt from Blacksmithing of the 18th Century, from Prickett's Fort
"The word "blacksmith" refers to iron, which was known as the black metal, and smith, meaning a smitter of metal (as in tinsmith or silversmith). The blacksmith was traditionally held in high esteem, because all trades known to mankind were dependent on the blacksmith. Most blacksmiths were toolmakers. They repaired things for people in the neighborhood and had to know how to work with different metals. In the 18th and 19th century, there were four types of tools. Tools for the farmer were axes, plow points, hoes, shovels, etc. Tools for women included cooking, sewing, and household tools. Tools for hunting and warfare were knives, tomahawks, gun parts, etc. Tools for industry and other trades were needed, including those for the blacksmith himself. Very few blacksmiths made things like railing or iron balconies or gates, except in bigger cities like Williamsburg, Boston, and Philadelphia."
Blacksmiths of the 21st Century
The blacksmith shown in this photo worked at the Mission San Luis de Apalachee in Tallahassee, Florida. In a conversation with him, he talked about all of the repair work a blacksmith of 1703 would have done at the Mission. Their job was to fix or create anything made of metal except for guns; this work would have been done by a gunsmith.
Other blacksmiths we have encountered work at Old Town, San Diego, Bent's Old Fort, Colorado, and at Mt. Vernon, Virginia. Having had the opportunity to work on a simple metal object I can attest to the need for great arm muscles.

SKY REPORTER: April 2011
by Steve Beyer on
Friday April 1st the Sun is within boundaries of the constellation Pisces. In New York City that morning civil twilight begins at 6:12 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time followed by sunrise at 6:40. The following evening sunset is at 7:20 and civil twilight concludes at 7:48 p.m.
On the last day of the month, civil twilight begins at 5:26 a.m. with Sunrise arriving at 5:56. The Sun sets that evening at 7:51, followed by the end of civil twilight at 8:20 p.m. Our nearest star's direction then is within boundaries of the constellation Aries. During April, time between sunrise and sunset each day increases by one hour 15 minutes.
Primary lunar phases in April are: New Moon, Sunday April 3rd at 10:32 a.m.; First Quarter, Monday the 11th at 8:05 a.m.; Full Moon, on Sunday April 17th at 10:44 p.m.; and Last Quarter, at 10:47 p.m. Sunday April 24th.
This month average overnight temperatures recorded in Central Park at Belvedere Castle near the American Museum of Natural History rise from 40 degrees Fahrenheit on the first to 49 degrees on the 30th.
For most of this month the planet Mercury is invisible to direct view from Earth due to its position amidst solar glare. At the end of April it reemerges in the predawn eastern sky and may be seen in morning twilight by experienced observers.
Mercury is currently being studied via the Messenger Mission spacecraft that went into orbit on March 18th around this closest planet to the Sun. Messenger's primary science phase was scheduled to begin in early April. Check the following NASA website for updates and images:
Venus is about 117,031,000 miles from Earth on April 1st, when it rises at 5:23 a.m. The planet reaches an altitude of about 8 degrees of arc above the horizon towards the east-southeast by the start of civil twilight. It then may then be seen 13 degrees to the right of the thin waning crescent moon. Venus remains a vivid sight on clear mornings throughout this month. By April 30th the planet's distance from us increases to about 132,711,000 miles.
Until late April Mars and Jupiter are, along with Mercury, hidden from our view by the Sun's glare.
During April Saturn is located in the direction of stars in the constellation Virgo, and remains an easy object for viewing. This beautiful planet, with the largest ring system in the solar system, is now well placed for observations throughout the night. During the night of April 3rd and 4th, it will be directly at the opposite side of Earth from the Sun, a celestial event aptly called "opposition". Distances between Earth and Saturn, as well as Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are at their minima during times of opposition. At this month's opposition Saturn is about 800,721,000 miles from us.
On the evening of April 7th, the waxing crescent moon is located between the Pleiades and Hyades open star clusters in the constellation Taurus. Such groups are called open clusters because their member stars eventually all fly apart as they gradually escape from each other's gravitational attraction. However these clusters may endure for many hundreds of millions of years before their stars disassociate. The Hyades is in the same apparent direction of the first magnitude star Aldebaran, although it is not a cluster member. The Pleiades cluster is also known as M45, indicating its placement in Charles Messier's list of sky sites.
The open cluster Messier 35 in the constellation Gemini is two degrees from the wide crescent moon on the night of April 9th. Both objects are near the location along the ecliptic occupied by the Sun on the Summer Solstice, June 21st. M35 is about 2800 light years from the solar system, has an age of 150 million years, and contains about 2500 stars. In nearly the same direction from us is another open star cluster known as NGC (New General Catalogue) 2158. It has a distance of 11,000 light years and the approximate age of a billion and a half years. Stars of the latter cluster are more concentrated than those in M35.
Tuesday April 12th the waxing gibbous moon is seven degrees of arc south of Messier 44, also known as the Beehive or Praesepe open star cluster. Although under clear dark skies M44 is one of the few open clusters visible to unaided eyes, binoculars are always provide extra enjoyment when observing it and other clusters of stars. The several hundred stars of the Beehive cluster are estimated to have a distance from the Solar System of 550 to 600 light years, and an age of about 730 million years. Both its distance and age are similar to those of the Hyades cluster in Taurus.
Regulus, brightest star in the constellation Leo is six degrees of arc northeast of the moon on the night of April 13th.
The waxing gibbous moon is in the constellation of Virgo on Saturday April 16th, it along with Saturn and the first magnitude star Spica form a triangular pattern. At 8 p.m. the moon is eight degrees from Saturn and 13 degrees from Spica.
If you didn't see the "Super" Full Moon of March 19th, don't despair. Full Moons often look wonderful, especially when they're not far above the horizon after rising and before setting. If the sky is clear, this month's full lunar phase becomes visible above eastern horizons of New York City as it rises at 7:32 p.m. Sunday evening April 17th. Traditionally known by names such as "the Full Pink Moon" and "the Sprouting Grass Full Moon", the Full Moon this month is only slightly further from us than on March 19th when it looked about one percent wider and 1.5 percent larger in area.
At six a.m. Saturday April 30th, a narrow crescent moon may be seen above an interesting arrangement of planets including Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars. For observers using a telescope, the faint sixth magnitude planet Uranus might also be seen.
Rising Full Moons are usually wonderful sights. Between perigee and apogee, when the moon is closest and most distant from Earth, the apparent diameter of the lunar disk varies by only about 13 percent. Eye-catching Full Moons have historically been attributed to several causes including atmospheric refraction and mental interpretations. However, differential bending of light rays from the upper and lower parts of the rising lunar disk would actually make the moon look smaller from top to bottom. There is no wide consensus as to why we perceive the moon as looking larger when it's slightly above the horizon compared to when it's higher up in open sky. One intuitive explanation is that we often see the rising Full Moon next to things on the ground we know to be large. When these considerable objects are seen from a distance they can look similar in size to the moon, therefore by comparison the moon also seems to be quite large.
Among Full Moons I've enjoyed several are especially remembered, including one rising next to the Empire State Building when viewed from the western end of 34th street. At that distance the big building looked small and the moon by comparison looked big. You might try an experiment with a ping pong ball seen from a distance of 13.5 ft. The ball then will appear the same size as last month's now famous Full Moon. Next, move your head back about an inch and a half. With that increased distance, the ball will look the size as this month's Full Moon rising on April 17th. Does the ball actually look different when viewed from these two slightly different distances?
Full moons and special sky events such as eclipses and close planetary conjunctions can inspire life long memories. Astronomer Johannes Kepler is said to have fallen in love with the night sky as a boy when his mother took him outside the walls of their town to see a lunar eclipse. At a restaurant appropriately named the Moon Palace, I once heard a Nobel Laureate in physics reminisce he became fascinated with nature when as a very young child he was astonished one evening by the sight of an apparently huge Full Moon seen between buildings at the end of his Manhattan street.

The first and only business class aircraft maintenance complex in Russia will be created by GAZPROMAVIA on the base of Ostafyevo airport in 2007. It will become a specialized centre for business aircraft maintenance and repair: Gulfstream, Global Express, Embraer, Learjet, as well as all types of Dassault Falcon. The Centre will be organized in co-operation with the Dassault Falcon Service company.
Until now, the Falcon aircraft could only be repaired abroad considerably raising the expenses for their servicing. As a consequence, this restricted the use of these aircraft by domestic airlines. As soon as the Maintenance Centre in Ostafyevo starts its activity, a significant spread of this aircraft type in Russia can be expected.
The Maintenance Centre will be certified in accordance with EASA (European Air Safety Association) requirements, and it plans to perform line maintenance. Falcon aircraft will also be provided with periodical maintenance – semi-annual and annual scheduled maintenance.
The Centre organization presupposes a hangar construction for four aircraft. The staff of the Maintenance Centre includes a General Manager, a Technical Director, a Quality Manager, an engineering complex, a maintenance complex, a planning group, a spare parts trade shop and a logistic group – about 30 people in total.

am a new member, signing in from the Baltic island Öland. My interest in Gnatterbox, is the ingenious use of IKEA's APA box as MJ modules.
However, is not a Gn modeller, but a 0n30 Maine modeller, Kennebago & Oak Hill Rwy, as well as a brake man on the 1:1 scale Swedish 2-footer Böda Forrest Railway http://www.bosj.se/fag/index.php/oevrigt/english.
A small history around K&OH; used Rand McNally US road maps to design a fictive Maine 2-footer early 1980:ies. Then, around 2006, when Google maps started to really show ground details, I got suspicious about a gravel road between Mooselookmeguntic Lake and Kennebago Lake, where I placed it. It looked very much as a railroad bed. Then, 2010, I did find new documents on the net, proving that my fictive right of way in fact was a real railroad, Maine Central, active between 1910-1925.
After being stored away for 27 years, K&OH now being is restored as APA modules and a lot of IKEA influence Having an IKEA some 30 km away do help .
I am also posting an suggestion of a 0n30 APA build standard in Size doesn't matter.

The Miss World pageant is being held in Bali, Indonesia, this year. In deference to anticipated protests by Muslim extremists, the pageant's organizers announced some time ago that there would be no swimsuit competition. Instead, they substituted a sarong round. In my view, such pre-emptive capitulation is a terrible precedent, so I am not covering this year's Miss World contest.
Still, the latest news is worth noting:
Indonesian Muslim hard-liners staged a protest Tuesday in the country's capital to try to stop the holding of the Miss World pageant this weekend on the resort island of Bali.
More than 200 members of several Muslim hard-line groups organized by the Islamic Society Forum staged a rally and march on the MNC Tower, the building that houses the local organizer of the contest.
They held up banners with "Reject Miss World that exploits women" and "Go to hell Miss World" on them, and shouted "Allah akbar," or God is great, outside the building, which was guarded by 300 police.
"This is an insult and humiliation of women," Muhammad Al Khathath, an Islamic Society Forum leader, told the crowd. "Muslims should reject the Miss World contest," he said.
This one is nice, too. I am not sure what they are burning; swimsuits, maybe:
This photo is from the Jakarta Post:
The protesters say beauty pageants are un-Islamic. I don't know, they may be right. That's for them to decide. But it is disgraceful for the Miss World organizers to locate their event in a place where they believe it can't be conducted normally; then try to appease Islamic militants; and finally suffer the worst of both worlds–not only do they have a lame pageant, but, despite their attempts at appeasement, the protests take place regardless.
UPDATE: Reader Peg Kaplan points out that if it isn't bikinis, it's bridge. Backwardness, across the board.

New Patient Paperwork for Your First Visit
Prior to your first appointment, we ask that you complete our new patient paperwork. To allow you ample time to be as thorough as possible, we recommend downloading the form from the link below and completing these forms at home or arriving at least 20 minutes early for your appointment to complete them in our office.
Brushing and Flossing
Brushing and flossing before the appointment will help our dentist properly examine your teeth with efficiency and ease.
Full Disclosure
The prospect of facing a new dentist can make anyone feel a little guilty about bad habits or just not flossing enough. However, please be assured that we're not in the business of judging anyone. Our sole concern is improving the oral health of our patients and failing to disclose important information (such as smoking, diseases, medication, or not brushing regularly) can have an impact on the treatment and services that our dentist recommends. Therefore, it's crucial that your complete and accurate medical and dental history is disclosed on your first visit.
Comprehensive Exam
After reviewing your paperwork, paying close attention to your dental and medical history, our dentist will proceed with your oral examination. Our dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums and other oral tissues, looking for signs of decay, disease and other potential problems.
The dentist may determine that x-rays are necessary. We use digital x-rays at Dental Arts of Oliver Springs, so the process takes just a couple minutes to complete and the images are available immediately for our dentist to evaluate. These detailed images will show any problems, like deep cavities, infections and bone loss, that may not have been fully evident during the exam.
Our dentist may recommend you get a professional teeth cleaning. During this cleaning session, our dental hygienist will remove accumulated plaque and stains from outside and in-between the teeth. After a thorough cleaning has been done, our dental hygienist will polish the teeth, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.
Post-Checkup Discussion
Following your exam, our dentist will discuss the results with you. If any issues were uncovered, our dentist may recommend additional treatments to restore your teeth and gums to a healthy condition. Our dentist will outline a treatment plan and our staff will review the procedure costs with you. If no problems were discovered, our dentist recommends patients return to our Oliver Springs, Tennessee, office every six months for another checkup and cleaning. This ensures any problems are detected as early as possible and more serious issues are prevented.
If you are interested in becoming a new patient at Dental Arts of Oliver Springs, call our office today at 865-435-4100 and our friendly staff will work with you to find a convenient time for your first visit.

THQ has revealed a new Star Wars game in development for the iPhone, that forgoes the usual stiff like lightsabre duels and X-Wing dogfights in lieu of... simulating the experience of running the Mos Eisley Cantina.
It's called Star Wars Cantina, and is a light strategy game, which tasks you with matching the drinks you're serving with the customers who are ordering them. Even the ones with death sentences on 12 systems.
It'll be out "soon", and by the looks of these delicious screenshots, soon can't come soon enough.

Runner-up Rebels celebrate
Part 2: Moose Lake-Willow River football Head Coach Dave Louzek continued with the awards from December 16 at Willow River. "Everyone of these guys would not get these kinds of awards without the support they get from each other and everyone else," he said.
New to the Rebels awards this year were Legacy Leadership Awards. Louzek explained, "For example, they would get positive points if they get an A or 3.5 mid-term test or higher. A big part of building points in classroom work. They would lose points for something like an F or a detention. The guys were divided up into teams. The Legacy Shockers ran away with it this year by over 10,000 points." Members of the Shockers were Jake Blais, John Zinter, Isaac Coil, Trevor Bailey, Joe Gebhart, Kole Milczark, Zach Paull, Ethan Hibke, Brennen Sylvester, Brennen Newham, Michael Pender, J.J. Sayler, Brad Fossum and Rose Cisar.
The individual point winner was Tony Adamczak with 18,000 points. Ike Pederson had 14,000. All-Conference All-Academic honorees were Layne Johnson, Micah Van Zee and Ben Moonen. Josh Pettersen made Academic.
Polar League All-Conference players were Jake Disterhaupt, Jake Christopherson, Michael Pender, Tony Adamczak, Michael Gassert, Zach Paull and Ezra Szczyrbak.
Spotlight on Scholarship Awards were received by ninth graders Frankie White, Brennen Sylvester, Chet Morgan, Max Kenney and Thomas Hansen. Tenth grade recipients were Jake Blais, Jeremiah Chavez, David Moonen, Gabe Douglas, Kody Gerard, Teddy Ryan, Brad Fossum and Josh Butterfield.
The juniors receiving the award were Ike Pederson, Trevor Bailey, Ezra Szczyrbak, Hunter Herzog, Brett Hawkins, Jon Evenson and Josh Leonard.
The seniors receiving the Spotlight on Scholarship Awards were Jake Christopherson, Ben Moonen, Tony Adamczak, Layne Johnson, Micah Van Zee, Michael Pender, Brennen Newham, Kyle Newman, Isaac Coil, Zach Paull, Jerry Young, Jake Disterhaupt and Matt Bednar.
Coach Louzek spoke briefly about the importance of Scout Team players. "We do have a lot of Scout Team players," he said. "We need that to be successful. The Scout Team's players' roles are important. Everybody has to do their part." Scout Team awards went to the following players: John Zinter, Dan Leino, Isaac Coil, Brennen Newham, Brett Hawkins Ryan Johnson, Jerry Young, Matt Bednar, David Moonen, Zach Schwarzbauer, J.J. Sayler and Kyle Newman.
The 101% Iron Man Awards were earned by the following: Jake Disterhaupt, Michael Gassert, John Zinter, Isaac Coil, Layne Johnson, Ezra Szczyrbak, Zach Paull, Jake Christopherson, Micah Van Zee, Jerry Young, Ben Moonen, Jon Evenson, Michael Pender, Tony Adamczak and Josh Pettersen.
Jake Disterhaupt won the Mad Hog Award by one as he had three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
The Mad Dog point winner was Isaac Coil.
Coach Louzek explained a new award with a little humor. "When someone gets hit really hard we used to called that the 'Nailed Award' and there'd be a nail in the board by their name," said the coach. "But after the hit Brett Hawkins took in the Marshall playoff game, we had to change the name of that award to his nickname, 'Hawk.' As long as I am here it will be known as the 'Hawk Award.'" Along with Brett Hawkins, those so named were David Moonen, Matt Bednar, Michael Gassert, Trevor Bailey, Matt Bednar, Cody Monette, Micah Van Zee, Ezra Szczyrbak, Kyle Newman (twice), Ben Moonen (twice), Cameron Schmidt and Josh Pettersen.
The Hammer Awards for making large hits in individual games were earned by the following players: Jake Disterhaupt, Michael Pender, Zach Paull, Jerry Young, Dylan Lovegreen (twice), Isaac Coil, Michael Gassert, Isaac Coil, Cameron Schmidt, Jon Evenson and Jeremiah Chavez.
Prior to delivering the MVP Award, Coach Louzek stated, "The decisions were very tough to make with so many good athletes." The JV MVP went to David Moonen. The Scout Team MVP was Alex Kenemore. The Most Improved Player was Brett Hawkins. The Offensive Line MVP was Jake Chtistopherson. The Defensive Line MVP was Ezra Szczyrbak. The Defesnive Team MVP was Jake Christopherson. The Offensive Team MVP was Michael Pender and the Team Offensive and Defensive MVP was Jake Disterhaupt.
"We have a new award that was given out last year and may not be given out every year," explained Coach Louzek. "It's the Unsung Hero Award. Last year that was Chris Gassert. This year's Unsung Hero Award winner is Tony Adamczak.
"This is the best group, statistically, that we ever had here," concluded the coach. "But it's how you build a family that is important and that is what carries over. It has carried over and will need to continue to do that. The only thing they could have done better would have been to have won a State championship. By doing that (undefeated for four years) the best possible in four years would be 54-54. This group was 50-4. They played more games at the Metrodome, with (many) games played at Public School's Stadium. This group has set a new bar."

Suntory Whisky Royal aged 15 years
Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:
Suntory Whisky Royal aged 15 years
Nose: Licorice covered oak with lemon and banana. Some macadamia nuttyness and wood stain. Sweet and creamy with soft grains of mainly bran and wheat. After about 10 minutes, apricot makes an appearance.
Palate: Very creamy but with that hint of lemon bitterness. Macadamia nut, licorice, banana, nutmeg and golden syrup. Smooth!
Finish: Smooth, soft grain, creamy nuts, licorice, lemon and some salty zing on the tongue.
General Comment: This whisky wears it's 'blendedness' on this it's sleeve with the grains definitely dominating. If you are looking for a malty blend then this one is probably not for you. If, however, you like a smooth Bourbon-esque style then step in line.

I've had this, bought it off from a collector last year, incredibly smooth. Do they still sell this? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

i have a bottle of suntory royal. got it from my father-in-law. not sure when or where he got it. there is no year on the bottle. 4/5 quart 86.8 proof. how old is it and when was it bottled? it is a small square bottle? 12 yrs? 15? 50?
- May 19, 2011 at 6:13 AM
The key age for a whisky is the age printed on the bottle (basically, no aging takes place in the bottle. So a brand new 12 year old whisky is the same (as far as the whisky market is concerned) as a 12 yo that has been kept in a cupboard 50 years. Of course, if it is a rare bottle from a long time ago, that may not apply. What is the age statement on the bottle? If there is no age stated, then it is probably a fairly young blend (although it may have sat in the bottle for years)
- May 19, 2011 at 11:07 AM
there is no age on the bottle. says it's a selected blend of whiskies. i can send you a photo.
- May 26, 2011 at 6:17 AM
I picked up a bottle of 15 year old a week ago and have been sipping it regularly since then – very tasty stuff. It would be nice if it came in a slim bottle too; I'm not very fond of the clunky square bottle with the massive stopper.
Yokosuka, Japan
- July 18, 2011 at 1:33 PM
It does come in a slim(rectangle) bottle also.
- August 3, 2011 at 4:28 PM
hi, thinking import one. there's a special reserve vatted no age, 180ml 12y, and a SR blended no age one. all look from same time zone. thanks anyone!

Carrot cake for a party
I don't often make my own celebration cakes. Not that I buy them. I prefer to offer a handsome pound cake or another confection that isn't either layered or frosted.
But a special guest came recently, celebrating a special birthday. So I pulled out a favorite recipe for carrot cake, which restaurateur Cary Wheaton gave me years ago. There is no better, moister, more delectable cake than this. Who can resist a spicy batter studded with flecks of carrot, walnuts, and raisins? Both cake and frosting are flavored with fresh orange rind, and the top is sprinkled with lightly toasted nuts. It keeps well (ha!), looks grand on the cake platter, and slices beautifully.
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
Makes 1 large cake
You need a one-piece 10-inch tube pan to make this, or use an angel food cake pan with a solid, not detachable, base.
Butter and flour (for the pan)
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
Grated rind of 1/2 orange
1 pound (4 cups) grated carrots
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup dark raisins
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter a one-piece 10-inch tube pan. Line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. Butter the paper. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until blended.
3. In another, larger bowl, use a wooden spoon to stir together the oil, sugar, eggs, orange juice, and orange rind until smooth. Gently stir in the carrots, walnuts, and raisins.
4. Stir the flour mixture into the batter until it is blended. Pour the batter into the pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle any air pockets.
5. Bake the cake for 65 minutes or until the top springs back when gently pressed with a fingertip. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool.
6. Turn the cake out onto the rack. Invert a cake plate onto the cake. Turn the plate and cake right side up. Leave to cool completely.
1 large package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated rind of 1/2 orange
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted until browned and coarsely chopped
1. In a mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually blend in the sugar until it is all incorporated. Beat in the vanilla and orange rind.
2. Tuck strips of waxed paper around the base of the cake so you don't get frosting on the cake plate. With an offset spatula, spread the frosting all over the top and sides of the cake, making the frosting as smooth as possible. Sprinkle the top with walnuts. Remove the strips of paper.
3. Set the cake in a cool place for several hours for the flavors to mellow and the frosting to set. Sheryl Julian. Adapted from

(Hong Kong) Dragonair today (Tuesday) welcomed the announcement by the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong SAR government that it will implement the online Pre-arrival Registration for Taiwan Residents from 1 September 2012.
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said: "Taiwan is an important market for Dragonair and we now operate three flights to Taipei, six to Kaohsiung and two to Taichung every day. It is expected that there will be even more passenger traffic between Hong Kong and Taiwan following the implementation of the online pre-arrival registration, and we stand ready to meet the increase in demand with our premium products and quality service."
In mid-May, Dragonair resumed flights to and from Taichung. Together with its services to and from Taipei and Kaohsiung, the airline currently operates a total of 154 flights a week between Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At the end of a tense vote that capped a messy political campaign, Reuven Rivlin was chosen Tuesday to serve as Israel's 10th president.
Rivlin, 74, was elected by members of Israel's 120-seat parliament to succeed the country's longest-serving public figure, President Shimon Peres, who will be stepping down next month as his seven-year term ends just weeks before his 91st birthday.
A veteran politician, a former speaker of the Knesset, the parliament, and an opponent of an independent Palestinian state, Rivlin was the front-runner among the five final contenders, the highest number of candidates ever to seek the largely ceremonial yet influential position.
The presidency is open to any Israeli citizen residing in the country, but a prospective candidate must first secure the signatures of 10 lawmakers. The signatures are public but elections are confidential, leaving room for surprises.
After no candidate secured the majority of 61 votes required to win in the first round, a second vote was taken on the two candidates with the most ballots: Rivlin and Meir Sheetrit, two of the longest-serving lawmakers.
Rivlin, who defeated Sheetrit by a vote of 63 to 53, with the remaining ballots blank or missing, will resign from the parliament immediately and assume the presidency in July.
Political campaigns in Israel are usually festive, but few found cause for celebrating as the presidential contest got messier by the minute with political scandal and police investigations.
A series of incidents clouded the race. Early on, allegations of sexual misconduct against Silvan Shalom were not enough to trigger a criminal case but killed his candidacy.
Then came reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seeking to postpone elections and possibly abolish the post altogether.
Candidate Binyamin Ben-Eliezer was felled by an eleventh-hour police investigation of financial misconduct allegations, sending him home and prompting the remaining candidates to disclose their finances, some reluctantly.
"Skeletons burst out of candidates' closets and began dancing in the town square," Hebrew University political scientist Yaron Ezrahi remarked in an interview.
Observers see this as a positive outcome of an otherwise unsettling campaign. Candidates for public office submit their financial information to the ethics committee of the Knesset but the statements are not made public.
Several lawmakers intend to advance legislation obliging all candidates to make financial and medical information fully transparent.
"It isn't healthy to keep these away from the public eye in vaults," said Shelly Yachimovich, a Labor Party lawmaker. Others propose that Israel adopt hearings such as those held in the United States to end chronic frustration about last-minute information delaying the filling of senior appointments.
The campaign was accompanied by a public debate about who should elect the president, what powers the president should have and whether the post is even necessary.
Although their politics are usually widely known, presidents are expected to keep them personal and represent the country as a unifying figure, avoiding contentious issues. Peres' support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a secret, nor is Rivlin's objection to it.
A reception welcoming the president-elect was held the Chagall Hall of the Knesset, where Rivlin was greeted with applause and whistling by colleagues, family and friends.
Bidding farewell to decades of parliamentary and political life, Rivlin said, "From this moment on, I am no longer a man of a political party, but of everyone, the people."

I'm expecting to buy some new kit as I really don't want to get a housing for my 7D - so I'm leaning towards M4/3rds, although a G11/12 in a Canon housing is a possibility. I'm thinking one of the Olympus Pens plus Oly housing. I don't understand the 'dome' aspect. I'm thinking that for Humpbacks I'm gonna need a decent wide angle. Thanks in advance everyone.

I am Russell from Philadelphia PA. Just had two dive trips where I was unable to bring my camera due to a faulty strobe :-(. Unfortunately Ikelite did not want to repair due to age, and i am not in the posistion to upgrade right now.
I have a trip coming up in a month so i hope to be able to service the strobe myself, with help from you all!

Just joined the forum - But its not for a happy reason I'm afraid - I loved underwater photography and even had a few whale shark shots published in SHARKDIVER MAGAZINE, but lately work and life stuff has been overwhelming - SO I really signed up to try and list my Ikelite D50 rig and strobe.
Its been a fun run but time to pass this stuff on to someone who will give it more use that I can I have browsed the forums silently for a while and have enjoyed the site, - - which I can still do even though I wont be shooting anymore!

My name is Jens and I just signed up here because many told me this is a good way to advertise some used gear that I'd like to sell (a complete FIX G10 setup). I want to sell that because I finally decided to get an Nauticam 7D housing. Alas, before I can post I need to reply to a thread first, and that's what I do now
This link is broken: We recommend introducing yourself as a reply to this post. (Any admin out there can look into this? Cheers!)
Anyway, I've been diving for more than 11 years now, and I'm currently PADI MSDT certified. Got CMAS certified in mid December in Germany and we actually had to poke holes into a thin layer of ice. Then I moved to Australia for a couple of years before I ended up in Seattle about seven years ago; that's where I still live and dive most of the time. Although I do travel _a_lot_ and dive all over the world. We've got a small group of people here, all obsessed with photography, and we spend heaps of (long) weekends diving all over Vancouver Island or the Northern Puget Sound.
Keep smiling

Nectar plants give butterfly gardens a powerful boost. But they're not the only key to drawing pretty pollinators to your yard. As your favorite winged beauties transition through their life cycle, many lay eggs on the undersides of specific plants—hosts. Many people know monarchs need milkweed, but there are many other butterfly host plants you should consider adding to your garden. By incorporating some of these, you'll attract a wider variety of butterflies to your backyard. And now they just might stick around!
- Rolf Nussbaumer / Rolfnp.com
Passionflower (Passiflora), Zones 5 to 9
Passionflower is a perfect butterfly-friendly vine. It climbs 15 to 50 feet and will thrive in full sun or part shade. If you're starting this beauty from seed or small nursery plants, be prepared to provide support for its tendrils to cling and wind. After that, you won't need to put in much effort to enjoy the blooms of this climber.
Butterfly benefits: Several fritillary caterpillars mow down on passionflower. A couple of common ones are the gulf fritillary and the variegated fritillary. Zebra longwings also use this butterfly host plant.
Buy It: Passionflower at Burpee.com
- PerennialResource.com
Hollyhock (Alcea rosea), Zones 2 to 10
If you want to make an impact in your garden, this tall host plant is an easy choice. It comes in many colors, attracts an array of insects and can reach up to 8 feet in height. Plant hollyhocks in full sun and along a fence or wall for stability.
Butterfly benefits: Painted lady caterpillars rely on several different plants as food sources, including hollyhocks and various spring annuals.
Buy It: Hollyhock at Burpee.com
Willow (Salix), Zones 2 to 9
Salix, Zones 2 to 9 It's true! Caterpillars feed on trees as well as pretty garden plants. Willows are known to grow up to 100 feet depending on species. So most gardeners will want smaller willows, like Dappled or Flame willow, which are a better size for backyard landscapes. Willow trees prefer full sun and tolerate many soil types.
Butterfly benefits: Several caterpillars like to munch on willow trees, including viceroy, western tiger swallowtail and mourning cloak.
Buy It: Willow at Burpee.com
Dill (Anethum graveolens), annual
Generally grown for its culinary uses, dill is also an unconventionally attractive garden plant with its feathery, aromatic green leaves and yellow buds. For an herb plant, dill gets quite large, reaching up to 4 feet tall.
Butterfly benefits: If you're looking to snip some dill for use in your own kitchen, you've got to get your hands on it before the black swallowtails chow it down. Anise swallowtails and other caterpillars like dill as well.
Buy It: Dill at Burpee.com
Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), Zones 2 to 6
In spring, long bloom clusters appear in a stunning display on the branches of chokecherry trees. Later in the season, the tree produces berries perfect for birds to munch on. This tree grows about 30 feet tall, so be sure to leave plenty of space for this beauty to mature.
Butterfly benefits: A western species, the two-tailed swallowtail caterpillar enjoys feeding on the foliage of the chokecherry tree.
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), annual
Mostly grown as an annual or a short-lived perennial in Zones 5 to 9, snapdragons are great for adding height to a landscape. These garden classics' stalks can reach about 4 feet tall with blooms in a variety of colors: white, pink, purple, orange or red.
Butterfly benefits: Look for common buckeye caterpillars snacking away on your snapdragons. They're fun butterflies to have in your yard because they're easily identifiable by bold, colorful eyespots.
Buy It: Snapdragon at Burpee.com
Violet (Viola), Zones 3 to 10
Try this pretty option if you've got partial shade. Perennial violets bloom in spring and prefer partial shade. Annual violas actually prefer full sun but will thrive in cooler temperatures of partial shade. They're dainty plants with a maximum height of only about 6 inches.
Butterfly benefits: Violets are the host plants for the widespread great spangled fritillary, as well as western fritillaries like Mormon, callippe and zerene.
Buy It: Violets at Burpee.com
- Butterfly Host Plant Oak Bailey Nurseries
Oak (Quercus), Zones 3 to 10
You may know oak trees by the fantastic orange, red and yellow color show they put on every autumn. Mature oaks can reach up to 100 feet high, but you can find smaller varieties, such as pin oak, that grow to about 75 feet—still quite large. So keep in mind that even smaller varieties need plenty of space to grow and flourish.
Butterfly benefits: Young oak leaves are favorites of the caterpillars of Horace's duskywing and banded hairstreak.
Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea), Zones 3 to 8
Maybe you're more familiar with this plant by the common name pearly everlasting, but its beauty is the same no matter what you call it. Blooming from midsummer to early fall, this plant boasts small, flat-topped clumps of white flowers reaching about 2 feet tall.
Butterfly benefits: American lady butterflies can be found throughout most of the United States, so plant everlasting to feed those hungry caterpillars.
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), Zones 4 to 9
This easygoing and versatile grass is a good choice for wet conditions, drought or partial shade, as long as it's planted in moist, well-draining soil. Growing narrow and upright with a cloud of seed heads in fall, switchgrass can reach more than 5 feet tall. Birds enjoy the seeds while the green leaves turn to yellow in fall.
Butterfly benefits: Many skipper caterpillars need grasses like switchgrass as a food source. These same caterpillars might overwinter on or underneath the blades of grass.

Team Seeks to Build on Momentum From Second-Place Finish at Iona Meet
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Coming off a remarkably well-rounded showing that saw it take second place at the competitive Iona Meet of Champions two weekends ago, the Yale men's cross country team will head to Bethlehem, Pa., this weekend to face its toughest test yet: the Paul Short Invitational, hosted by Lehigh.
After enjoying some well-earned rest last weekend, the Bulldogs—who recently passed Cornell to take the seventh spot in the USTFCCCA's Division I Northeast Region rankings—are sending 16 athletes to Paul Short, 10 of whom will be competing in the men's gold race. The gold race will pit the Elis against 47 other schools, including Ivy rivals Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn. Also competing in the gold race on Saturday will be three schools ranked in the USTFCCCA's top 20: Georgetown, Indiana and Iona. Iona was the only team to outdo the Bulldogs at the Iona Meet two weekends ago. Because Lehigh only allows each team to enter 10 athletes in the gold race, Yale will also be entering six additional runners in the meet's open race, held earlier in the day.
Given the talented competition the Elis will be going up against on Saturday, a strong performance could go a long way to improving their chances of earning a spot at the NCAA Division I National Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., later this year.
"I'm excited to get into this next part of the season," said Head Men's Cross Country Coach Paul Harkins. "This is the first big meet we will be competing in as we start looking towards the postseason, and it will be great to see how we've progressed with the last couple of weeks of training. I have high expectations for these guys, as do they."
Yale finished 19th at Paul Short in 2011 and seventh in 2012, and the team will be seeking to continue this upward trend with its performance this weekend. The Elis will, however, be relying on a slightly different group of runners, as only three of their top seven finishers from their seventh-place finish at Paul Short last year—sophomore Alex Conner, sophomore Kevin Dooney and junior John McGowan—are competing this time around.
Conner and McGowan seem to be near locks for the team's top seven again this year after back-to-back finishes in Yale's top three to open the season. Dooney, meanwhile, broke into the team's top seven for the first time at the Iona Meet and should be one of the Bulldogs' top runners again this weekend. He ran an impressive 25:10 at last year's race, registering the seventh-fastest time among all competing freshmen.
Freshman James Randon is another runner to watch at Paul Short. The youngster has started the year off in dominant fashion, finishing second on the team in his first two collegiate races.
Freshman Andre Ivankovic and sophomore Duncan Tomlin have also recorded top-seven team finishes in each of the season's first two races, and they will look to continue their streaks against tougher competition this weekend. Meanwhile, senior team captain Ryan Laemel—returning from injury troubles last season—will be aiming to crack the top seven for the first time this year, despite solid showings in his first two races. And after finishing fourth on the team against Harvard in the season opener, junior Isa Qasim will be looking to bounce back after finishing just outside the team's top seven at the Iona Meet.
This Saturday's open race will begin at 10:10 a.m. and will be followed by the gold race at 11:00 a.m. A map of this weekend's 8K course is available here, and a full list of competing teams is available here. Results will be available on www.yalebulldogs.com and at the meet's official website (http://paulshortxcrun.com/PSLayer.php) following the conclusion of the race.

All functions on this module are UNSAFE in the sense that they may reduce the physical accuracy or numerical stability of the simulation if you use them correctly, or may crash your system if you are not careful enough. Read their documentation carefully and use them only if you really need and know what you are doing.

unsafeShapeRedefine shape type off redefines

type and to be at offset
off. Be careful, you should not change the shape type.
For example, it is unsafe to change a circle shape's radius,
but it is an error to try to change a circle into a segment
or a polygon. Note also that these errors are not
checked, meaning they will probably crash Chipmunk.
unsafeRememberC :: ConstraintType a => Constraint Unknown -> Constraint aSource
Unsafe function that changes the constraint type to
anything. It is unsafe because you should call
only on the same kind of constraint you created, and this
function allows you to bypass the type system checks. Note
also that, unlike Chipmunk, we don't check at run-time that
