text: Bluejuice is a Sydney based Funk Rock band that you could never classify as boring! Their hit track Broken Leg really got them noticed and their videos like the very, um, quirky? Act Yr Age we reviewed last year was both fun and disgusting at the same time! Their new single is another change of direction for the guys with a Soul/Dance feel to it that is very, very funky. A brilliant beat mixed with a groove we haven't heard for some time will appeal to all Pop, Dance, Soul and Funk lovers around the world! These guys have got something very special and we bought this track as soon as we heard it on iTunes! Check out The Recession here now..!

Auction Rescue
Rocking R is a 501c3 non profit charitable organization. Our focus is on saving equine before they make it to the kill pens – through auction or owner release.
Adoptable Horses
Some of our horses come ready & rideable from the auction, but many require much more – once they are ready for forever homes, you will find them here.
Sanctuary Horses
Some horses come to RRRR to stay, due to age, abuse, unadoptability or other factors. Our sanctuary horses need sponsors and dedicated volunteers.
Saving Horses from the Slaughter Pipeline
Initially we started rescuing horses from the kill pens, but after seeing the inside of the business, we realized that we could help horses more – and help so many more horses if we started intercepting them before the kill buyers purchased them.
As a result, we can save the horses the trauma and exposure to disease of transport into a kill pen. We attend regional auctions in Mississippi and are careful to purchase horses that the kill buyer is bidding on.
As an additional service, because we post pictures and videos prior to the auctions, we will proxy bid for individuals wanting to purchase a specific animal. We do not charge to do this, but because our space is limited, we need to have purchased equine transported rather quickly.
Next Steps…
We cannot do this alone! We need donations for hay, vet care, manpower, transport costs, with equine the list is endless.

Whenever we go surfing on the internet, we find many websites interesting enough for us to read. In addition to these websites, we can find many pages called splash pages on the internet. Splash pages are introductory pages to a web site. It generally offers some of these features to the viewer; a graphic or a logo design, a choice of entering the site through either a flash design or a design with no flash and sometimes even technical requirements like about the browser, version, etc. needed for that specific site. A splash page is also known as a main entry page housing a graphic image and link for visitors to enter a web site.
These splash designs prove to be quite popular, especially among the designers as they allow the designer to show their skills in flash and any other technology on a single page. The splash page design involved in the splash page will be one that is very attractive to the eye of the viewer. Its main intention lies in captivating the viewer the moment he looks at it. It can be a stationary design or an animated design, which in turn makes it more interesting to look at!
There are quite a few advantages and disadvantages to a splash page. The main advantage of a splash page is that through a splash page, one can get all the information required on the first page of the website without much scrolling as splash pages are fast loading. And just think, after all that effort put into the making of that animation or flash splash page design, you can be confident that through a splash page, the visitors of the site at least see the splash design at least once. Splash pages are a great way to show off the best work you can produce, and thus also act as a portfolio of your work and work capacity for potential employers. As the splash page states the technical requirements required for their particular website, it allows the reader to choose, prior to visiting the site, the technology that best fits them and their computers. It is also a great means of using your server logs to get the complete breakdown of the actual number of customers to the website.
The cons to splash pages are not that many or major. It is only that some readers do not like splash pages as it prevents them from entering the website immediately, and thus may leave the site upon seeing the splash page. Splash pages also tend to break search engines as most splash pages have a redirect. It should be remembered that splash pages cannot be used for sending emails to a third party. As it can be seen, the pros of a splash page heavily outweigh the cons of a splash page. It all lies down on how one accepts a splash page on seeing it! Remember, splash pages are fun to build. They are very creative and allow the user to play around with animation and sound, to get the desired splash page design they need!

They're all kaput.
Terribly joke, and it's really not funny. But Conde Nast has pulled the plug on these titles. This isn't all that "newsy" considering so many mags are closing, downsizing, or just doing poorly. It's how the COOKIE is crumbling right now. (See what I did there?)
My only hope is that Afar magazine doesn't shut down in the next five years. If TimeOut shutters production, I think I'll cry.

"Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you"Sam Dhiman

The Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Rottal (ZWR) [Rottal Water SupplyAssociation] in Pfarrkirchen, Lower Bavaria, Germany, supplies drinkingwater to approximately 6000 properties in 713 districts, covering over 271 km2.
When the water distribution system was established 25 years ago, boostersystems were installed in various districts to optimise water pressure.These systems ensure that the minimum required water pressure ispresent at critical points in the water network, and the solution met theformidable challenge facing ZWR to ensure a safe and reliable supply ofdrinking water for the residents over a considerable area.
However, in addition to ensuring water supply security, energy efficiencyplays an increasingly important role today. Furthermore, the old pumptechnology was also prone to failure, so ZWR made the decision tocompletely refurbish all pumping stations with new, high-efficiencybooster systems.
Increasing focus on energy requires a change in thinking
Energy optimisation is increasingly in focus, not least because of the risingcost of energy, and stricter efficiency standards. This is a trend that is setto continue. Energy is the single greatest expense for pumps and pumpingsystems, measured over the product lifetime. The cost breakdown for apump as a single unit or as part of a system is as follows:
If the total cost, including the initial investment and operation, adds up to 100 %, then energy costs account for approximately 80-85 %. Repairs andservicing account for 5-10 %. The 'actual' investment is therefore only 5-10%. This shows that the energy cost factor takes on special significance, andit is therefore important to ensure that all pump units work in the sameperformance range, enabling optimal energy yield.
To ensure a system that is up-and-running from commissioning requires afull-line supplier that can offer the entire range, from system analytics to control technology and optimal pumping systems. Grundfos can do this.
Efficient pump technology provides security of supply and energyefficiency
The objective was to reach a gentle constant pressure control of 8 barusing highly flexible industrial process measurement and control.
To meet this challenge, a Hydro MPC-E 5 CRIE 10-9 booster system (DEA)was set up at the main station (GPW) in Wolkertsham. The downstreamOpping pumping station (DPW) is currently equipped with a Hydro MPC 4x CRIE AKC 10-6 system.
All CRIE pumps boast sophisticated technology, high-quality materials andlow-wear bearings. Another key feature is the unique cartridge mechanicalseal. It is made of highly wear-resistant materials. Thanks to the cartridgedesign, the sealing elements can never be improperly assembled. Thedelicate sliding surfaces never are in contact with greasy fingers or dirt.This significantly reduces the chance of failure due to improper gasketinstallation.
Significant changes were made to increase pump efficiency. Tests hadshown that a gap of just 0.1 mm between the chamber and the impellerresulted in a 5 % loss of efficiency. By using a floating gasket ring, internallosses due to leaks are reduced to a minimum. All pumps used in both DEAsfeature a frequency controller (PID controller), which has proved especiallyimportant.
The Hydro MPC boasts soft pressure build-up and reduction withoutpressure surges. Only the pressure that is required is generated at any giventime. The individual pumps each work at their optimal duty point.
Demand Driven Distribution ensures constant mains pressure at thecritical point
Compared to intermittent operation, operating a water supply system at aconstant supply pressure reduces the risk of pipe breaks and water loss by10 to 20 times. Using Grundfos Demand Driven Distribution (DDD), outputpressure in the waterworks is controlled by continuously measuring thepressure at the mains end.This solves four immediate problems:
- Increases operating comfort due to constant mains pressure, especiallyat the critical point
- Energy savings thanks to strategic pressure reduction
- Minimises the risk of pipe breaks and expensive repairs
- Reduces adjustment and programming work
A data logger at the critical point (1 to 10 data loggers can be used persystem) measures all the relevant values and creates a pressure profile.These profiles are saved and sent to the pumping station daily via SMS. AProfibus type CIM 150 and CIM 040 serve as communication modules. TheGrundfos CU 354 controller is the heart of the operation and builds on thehighly versatile multi-pump controller CU 352. The intelligent controllerindependently optimises the control curve based on the data collected.Depending on the demand, the controller switches the pumps on or off,without causing pressure surges. In the case of the Opping booster system,a system analysis showed a reduced energy consumption:
Specific power consumption (old) 0.3841 kW/h
Specific power consumption (new) 0.233 kW/h
This represents a savings of approximately 39 % - a considerable amountin any water supply system.
Optimize energy efficiency and ensure reliable water supply

In a press release late Monday afternoon, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) announced that he had introduced legislation to ban the practice of "voter caging," a practice in which groups send mail to voters' addresses and then use "return to sender" envelopes to challenge the legitimacy of individual votes.
Wikipedia defines 'caging' as "a term of art in the direct mail industry, as well as a term applied to a technique of voter suppression. A caging list is a list or database of addresses, updated after a mailing program is completed, with notations on responses received from recipients, with corrections for addresses that mail has been returned undelivered from, or forwarded onward from."
In October 2004, the BBC reported on a list of "caging" targets that had been culled from an email allegedly sent by the Bush campaign. The email, which was errantly sent to GeorgeWBush.org instead of GeorgeWBush.com, contained "a list of 1,886 voter names and addresses in largely African-American and Democratic areas of Jacksonville."
"The practice of 'caging' is reprehensible and has absolutely no place in our democracy," Kerry said in the release. "Here in America, every citizen, regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation has the right to cast his or her vote. These are the very foundations of our democracy and this bill will ensure that we protect fundamental freedoms for millions of voters across our country."
The remainder of the release follows.
Caging is a voter suppression tactic in which a political party, campaign, or other entity sends mail marked "do not forward" or "return to sender" to a targeted group of voters – often minorities or residents of minority neighborhoods. A list of those whose mail was returned "undelivered" is then used as the basis for challenges to the right of those citizens to vote, on the grounds that the voter does not live at the address where he or she is registered. There are many reasons that mail could be returned undelivered, however; an eligible voter could be overseas on active military service or a student registered at a parent's address.
There is evidence that caging lists were assembled in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania during the 2004 elections, possibly intended as the basis for massive voter eligibility challenges. The Florida incident made headlines again earlier this year during Congress's investigation into the firing of several U.S. Attorneys, when allegations resurfaced that Tim Griffin, the former RNC opposition researcher then serving as an interim U.S. Attorney in Arkansas, had been involved in an effort to cage voters in Jacksonville.
The Caging Prohibition Act would prohibit challenges to a person's eligibility to register to vote, or cast a vote, based solely on returned mail or a caging list. The bill would also mandate that anyone who challenges the right of another citizen to vote must set forth the specific grounds for their alleged ineligibility, under penalty of perjury.
Senators Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) joined Kerry as cosponsors of the Caging Prohibition Act. To date, the bill has also been endorsed by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and People for the American Way.

How to weather winter
Cold damp weather, gloomy grey skies, restricted daylight and too much mud can make a typical winter in the UK a bit of a turn off when it comes to horse ownership but it doesn't have to be that bad. Take a look at our guide to winter horse care to find out how to make things easier for you and your horse.
Rug right
We are all guilty of anthropomorphising but you must fight the urge to reach for an extra rug for your horse just because you feel cold. It pays to buy the best quality and fit of rug that you can afford, to keep your horse warm and dry during the winter. However, unless your horse is thin skinned, lacking bodyweight, elderly or has been fully clipped it shouldn't need more than a lightweight rug unless it's extremely cold. Click here to see a helpful temperature guide to rugging horses.
Feed facts
Whether you have an ex racehorse or a Shetland pony fibre should form the mainstay of your horse's diet. The horse's digestive system is designed to process fibre and munching it helps to keep them warm1.
During the summer horses usually gain their fibre ration from grass but in the winter when the grass dies off or if they are stabled they should be given fibre in other forms such as hay, haylage or chopped forage.
Fibre is good for mental and physical wellbeing; eating will help keep your horse occupied in the stable, while the very act of chewing will create saliva to neutralise stomach acid, which can help prevent gastric ulcers. Ideally horses should go for no more than six hours without access to fibre.2
In terms of your horse's bucket feed the safest option for keeping temperaments calm and tummies comfortable during long periods in the stable is a low starch and high fibre option. Feeds containing higher oil are good for weight gain while low calorie, low starch and low sugar feeds are best for good doers or those at risk of laminitis.3
There are so many products from different equine feed companies that it's best to contact one, usually via a designated careline, for guidance on the most suitable feed for your horse or speak to your vet for advice.
Winter Health
Worming: Encysted small redworm need to be tackled during the late autumn or early winter using a single dose of moxidectin or a five-day course of fenbendazole.4 Alternatively, there is a specific blood test which will show if encysted small redworm are present.5 Find out more by reading our worming blogs here.
Water: Making sure your horse always has access to fresh water will help keep his digestive system in good working order. If he's reluctant to drink when it's very cold try adding some warm water or some apple juice.
Fresh air: It's healthy for horses to have plenty of fresh air; make sure your stable has good ventilation but no persistent draughts.
Shelter: If your horse is wintering out he will need good shelter from the wind and rain in the form of a field shelter, trees or hedges.
Exercise: Even if your stabled horse can't be turned out he still needs a good leg stretch on a daily basis, either in hand or ridden. Ideally every horse should be allowed daily freedom in a paddock or arena for a romp and a roll too!

Mariah Carey Tweets Photo Of Her Dislocated Shoulder And Her Radiance
Ouch! While Mariah Carey was shooting a video for a remix of "#Beautiful" (we know, we know — which one, right?), it seems the whistle-register doll dislocated her shoulder on Sunday, and was then carted off to New York's Hospital for Special Surgery on the Upper East Side. "She was taken to [the] hospital late last night, where doctors reset her shoulder," Carey's rep Cindi Berger told the New York Post. "She is fine and is recovering at home."
Naturally, Mimi didn't want her Lambs to scream in fear, bewilderment, shock and terror over the singer's mishap, so she tweeted the above pic today, which shows a smiling Carey with arm-in-sling. Tweeted the songbird, "dislocated my shoulder on the remix video with Jeezy, sporting a very fashionable sling for the next couple of weeks!"
Mariah's upcoming 14th studio album, The Art Of Letting Go, last had a release date of July 23, but has since been delayed. At least we have this stunning picture to hold us over.

Tender, golden shallots lend a lovely sweetness to this classic cheeseburger.
How to Make It
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil; swirl to coat. Add shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; keep warm.
Gently combine garlic and beef. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions, gently shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Press a nickel-sized indentation in the center of each patty. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add patties, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheese; cover and cook 1 minute or until cheese melts.
Place 1/4 cup arugula on bottom half of each bun; top with 1 patty and one-fourth of shallots. Spread about 2 teaspoons mayonnaise on top half of each bun; place on top of burgers.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove will launch for consoles and PC this fall, developer HumaNature Studios announced.
A closed beta for ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove will launch "within the next couple of weeks" to Kickstarter early-access backers. HumaNature Studios also mentioned that "the Switch version of the game is just about ready to be submitted for certification by Nintendo, and the other console versions are not too far behind."
Additionally, HumaNature Studios announced that ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove will no longer be published by Adult Swim Games, and will instead be self-published.
"Adult Swim Games has some other big titles they plan to launch this summer so when Back in the Groove pushed back, we both agreed that it made sense for them to hand us the reigns, rather than taking a chance on this getting pushed back any more," HumaNature Studios founder Greg Johnson said in a press release.

How Do the Fittest Survive?
Two male rabbits, Peter and Robert live in a warren. A fox chases Robert but Robert runs faster than the fox and gets away. The next day the fox chases Peter. Peter is slower than the fox, so the fox kills and eats Peter. Peter is no longer alive to breed and pass on his genes, but Robert has a 'run-faster' gene that has enabled him to escape from the fox. Robert is still alive and, if Robert breeds, there is a chance that his 'run-faster' gene will be passed on to the next generation of rabbits.
Do all the Next Generation Have the Advantageous Gene?
No. Only half of Robert's sperm will carry the 'run-faster' gene, so half of Robert's progeny will have a chance of inheriting that gene. The female rabbit Robert mates with produces egg cells that also contain genes that affect running speed.
Every baby rabbit will have two genes for running speed. The rabbit's actual running speed depends on which gene is dominant, which depends on the random way that the sperm and egg cell combined.
Half of the sperm contained the run-faster gene. None of the female's egg cells contained the run-faster gene.
When the sperm and egg cell combine half of the eggs will be fertilised by run-faster sperm and half by normal sperm.
Only half of the baby rabbits will even have cells that contain the run-faster gene at all.
In half of the baby rabbits that contain the run-faster gene that gene will be dominant, in the other half of the baby rabbits the rabbit's running speed will be determined by the mother's running speed gene.
2 baby rabbits out of 4 have the run-faster gene.
1 baby rabbit out of those 2 will have a dominant run-faster gene. One out of the four baby rabbits fathered by Robert Rabbit will have Robert's running speed.
Next Generation
The young rabbit with the run-faster gene escapes being eaten by foxes and breeds successfully. The three slower rabbits were caught, eaten and did not breed.
The rabbit with the fast running gene survives and passes this gene on to the next generation.
Over many generations the run-faster gene becomes more common in the rabbit population, as slower running rabbits are caught and eaten by hungry foxes.
Rabbits have evolved to run-faster.
More breeding success in the fittest to survive would be a better way to paraphrase Darwin's Theory of Evolution than the usual Survival of the Fittest.
The fittest survive, but they must breed successfully if the characteristic that made them the fittest is to be passed on and to spread through the general population.
Human Evolution
Humans have evolved into the most intelligent species on Earth.
This has happened because intelligence has allowed humans to make tools and to manipulate our environment. Humans with greater intelligence survived longer to have children because their intelligence allowed them to grow food, to make weapons to kill predators. Less intelligent human ancestors did not learn to grow crops or to make weapons, so they died from starvation or were killed by predators before they could have children.
The gene for increased intelligence spread through the human population as intelligent humans live longer and had more children as a result. More children had parents with the gene for increased intelligence and they in turn lived longer and had more children than humans without the increased intelligence gene.
Predator evolution
If a tiger was born with big purple splotches on its skin would it survive and breed? Survival would be unlikely, even if its parents did not kill it. Its prey would always see it coming, so it would die of starvation at an early age, it would not reproduce and the gene for purple splotches would not pass on to the next generation of tigers.
Cats have evolved lightning fast reflexes in order to catch their prey. A cat that was faster than average would be better fed, live longer and have more breeding success than a slower cat. This would lead to its faster reflexes genes spreading more widely through the cat population.
Prey Evolution
In a herd of wildebeest the lions always attack animals that trail behind the main herd. These animals are the slower ones. The lions get an easier meal and the wildebeest without the fast running gene do not survive long enough to breed and pass on their slow running gene.
Is Evolution Still Happening?
Yes. In most cases the changes are very small and the gap between successive generations too large to enable easy observation of evolutionary changes within a species.
There was a study done in a highly polluted city in England of Peppered Moths. During the day these moths rest on tree trunks. Peppered Moths are normally a pale grey in color. Soot from vehicle exhaust fumes coated the trees and made them darker. Pale grey moths stood out against the pollution-darkened trees, so they were eaten by predators during the day. The few darker moths were better camouflaged against the darkened tree trunks, so they survived predation, lived longer and had better breeding success than the paler ones.
Pollution has now been reduced, tree trunks are paler and the dark moths stand out against the tree trunks. The dark colored moths are eaten before they can breed and pale colored peppered moths are becoming more common again. The gene for dark coloration is becoming less common in the peppered moth population because it is a hindrance to survival and consequent breeding success.
Are Humans Still Evolving?
Evolution only happens where a particular gene leads to a longer lifespan and more reproductive success. Reproductive success in humans is affected by many factors such as access to medical treatment that are not related to their genes. Modern medicine's success stories largely prevent further human evolution. Those individuals without the genes necessary for survival and breeding success now survive and have children because of medical intervention.

Our Port Captain, Mark Malcolm reports that while CPYC was cruising out to Half Moon Bay for Memorial Day weekend, there was still a great deal of activity around the club. Two groups, Oakland YC and Alameda YC came in, bringing 18 boats between them for a four day / three night visit. Sailing conditions on the way to Coyote Point were reported as excellent on Friday and Saturday.
Between the number of deep draft boats coming in and the extreme minus tides that weekend, (-1.8, -1.6,-1.4) we had to place some of the cruise in boats around the marina, rather than on the guest dock. Thanks to all the folks who went to Half Moon Bay and graciously let us put visiting boats in their slips.
On Friday a small shark swimming around the marina provided our visitors with some amusement, at no expense to the club.
All those visitors made for busy evenings at the bar, allowing Linda in get her full cardio workout in while serving a full house. Oakland joined us for the Backyard BBQ and Lobster boil on Saturday night. Our two pound lobster dinner for just $34 was a bit hit and is a steal at that price.

A soft and delicious oatmeal cookie recipe that is dairy free. It is a recipe developed to use vegetable oil instead of solid fats, such as butter or margarine. Everyone will enjoy these!
My cookies came out quite dry, and I didn't like the unusual (for me!) aftertaste of the bicarbonate of soda but everyone else liked them and they were also very easy to make! - 19 Feb 2012
Modified with gingerbread spices, and accidentally used chilli infused rapeseed oil (always read your labels!) and they are totally amazing! - 29 Mar 2017
Hi, would it be ok to use Sunflower oil instead of Rapeseed oil? - 11 Aug 2014

I've been wanting to try dyeing with Australian Indigo (Indigofera Australis) for a long time. I've got a small bush growing but it is still too young for harvesting. So I was very excited when some friends offered me clippings from their huge plant.
There are a few tutorials online specifically for Australian Indigo, at Turkey Red Journal and Tinker Maker. But I really wanted to keep it natural and avoid using Sodium Hydrosulphite. I kept researching and came across a method for Japanese Indigo which uses cold processing of fresh leaves. Despite Japanese Indigo (Persicaria Tinctorium) being a completely unrelated plant, I decided to give this method a go. And I'm so pleased with how well it worked!
I followed the instructions on The Dogwood Dyer's blog, which involve whizzing up fresh leaves in a blender with cold water and vinegar. I strained this liquid then folded and tied some small cotton samples and soaked them in the dye.
After the first soak the cotton has turned this vivid green.
The next day I did many rounds of short dips and each time the cotton got darker and more blue.
This is the darkest that the triangle got, plus some lighter, greener samples and an Indigofera Australis leaf. Isn't it magic that these leaves can produce such a dark blue?!
This was my first time trying shibori. It was so exciting to unwrap my little triangle and discover the beautiful patterns that folding and tying had made on this top.
And here are a few other samples. I really enjoyed beginning to explore the many hues that Australian Indigo can produce. Now to find and grow more plants!

A History in Eras
1930s – 1940s
In 1933 the property on which Oakhill College now stands was purchased by the De La Salle Brothers as a Training College for the Brothers.
On 20th October 1935 construction of the Training College began.
On Sunday 17th May 1936, the new building was blessed and opened. Refurbished nearly 70 years later, it now is a heritage-listed building and is called the De La Salle Building but which was then known as The Brothers' Training College.
A noticeboard at the entrance of the property on Old Northern Rd advertises the opening of a new 'Select Boarding College'. Oakhill College unofficially opened for one term in August 1936 with one teaching Brother (Br Stephen) and four boarders (George & Alex O'Hare, sons of a Leichardt Funeral Director; Pat Leahy, a country boy from Bathurst; and Gordon O'Grady from Cronulla).
On 1st February 1937 Oakhill College formally opened. Brother Julian Lennon and Brothers Kevin Price and Amedy Molloy formed the first community of Brothers at Oakhill. Br Julian was the first Director of the Brothers' Community and first Principal of the College.
Three rooms, described by Br Amedy as "three old fibro rooms", served as classroom spaces for the 20 boarders and 10 day students at the College in 1937.
In November 1937, a new dormitory was built under the supervision of Br Adrian Fitzgerald (after whom the current Adrian building is named) to double the boarding capacity of the school. The dormitory was officially opened by Sydney Archbishop Michael Kelly on 26th June 1938.
During the war from 1941-1945 part of the College was requisitioned as a temporary hospital by the NSW National Emergency Services, a wartime Civil Defence agency formed to protect civilians against possible attacks from the air. Senior students were transferred to St Bernard's College, Katoomba, while the rest of the school continued to function as a Junior Boarding College.
In 1945, after the war, enrolments increased to 45 boarders and 29 day students. The majority of the boarding students came from country NSW or from interstate.
Principals: Br Julian Lennon (1937-1938), Br Virgil Hamilton (1939), Br Donatus Slattery (1940, 1948-1950), Br Brendan Carroll (1941-1942), Br Edmund Shanahan (1943-1947)
1950s – 1960s
In 1953 enrolments reached 100 (62 boarders and 38 day students).
On ANZAC day 1954, two thousand students from De La Salle Schools across Sydney attended the ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone for the Adrian Building, a gathering which probably marks the start of what later becomes known as 'Oakhill Day', a day of friendly sporting competition among Sydney's De La Salle schools which is hosted by Oakhill College.
In February 1956, the Adrian Building was completed and occupied. It had three storeys with a dormitory on the top floor, a chapel on the ground floor, and classrooms on the middle and ground floors. A stained-glass window from the Adrian Building now graces one of the walls in the College's new boardroom in the De La Salle Building.
In 1958 Brother Damien Harvey was appointed Director and Principal of Oakhill College and led the College for the next nine years. His vision and eventual accomplishment was to make the school "a first-class school". Under Br Damien's stewardship, Oakhill College flourished and transformed "from a comparatively small demonstration school into a thriving College of considerable prestige in the community" (anon).
In 1959 what is now the Mutien Building was built as a new kitchen and dining room for boarders.
In 1959 and 1960 respectively the Fathers' Association and Mothers Club were formed.
In 1960 Dr. Peter Day and Francis Sainty become the first lay teachers at the College.
On 28th June 1960, the original Brother's residence was demolished and a new residence was built on the site of the now renovated Wagan Building. The Brothers moved into their new house on 9th July 1961. Until its renaming in 2011, the Wagan Building was affectionately known as 'The Brothers' House'. Even today, it is still often referred to as 'The Old Brothers House'.
The Fathers' Association began construction of the once renowned and now re-purposed, 25-metre swimming pool. The pool now serves as an underground water tank.
In 1962 the first College Yearbook was published and the Cadet Unit was formed.
In 1963 enrolments passed the 400 mark.
Between 1963 and 1964 the Liesse and Miguel buildings were constructed. The buildings (regarded then as a single L-shaped building) added much-needed facilities including an 'ultra-modern' dormitory in the Liesse Building for Fourth and Fifth Year (senior) students; a big administration block (with secretary's office, Principal's office, interview room and vestibule); a library, ten classrooms, a linen room, a stationery room and a covered basement area with locker rooms and shower amenities.
Mrs Gloria Flynn joins the teaching staff and becomes the first female teacher at Oakhill College.
Principals: Br Benildus de Moulin (1956-1958), Br Damien Harvey (1959-1967), Br Walter Farrell (1968-1973)
1970s – 1980s
In September 1969 construction started on Benildus Hall which was opened on 21st June 1970, and became the venue for the first ever Hills Art Show.
In 1974, because of declining numbers of boarders and rising demand for places from day students, the College ceased to operate as a boarding school. At the time the decision was made to phase out the boarding school, day students outnumber boarders by about 6 to 1.
In 1975 a new library was completed. Refurbished in 2015 it is now called the 'Learning Resources Centre'.
By the mid-70s, there were over 800 students at the College and this number was to rise to 1240 by 1979.
In 1976 the College became co-educational in Years 11 and 12 and welcomed its first intake of 19 female students into Year 11 and 3 into Year 12. In 1977, Judy Sparke had the honour of becoming Oakhill College's first Girls' Captain.
In 1976 the Pony Club was formed and over time attracted over 100 members.
In 1977 Oakhill College entered the Ku-ring-gai Zone Sports Association and its Rugby Teams won the first, second, and third grade cups but missed a clean sweep by just a one point loss in the fourth grade.
The Library is expanded and the area underneath it was converted to Senior classrooms.
On 11th July 1980 eleven debutantes were presented to Bishop Bede Heather in the College's first-ever Debutante Ball.
In 1982 Brother Conrad Callinan succeeded Br Peter Macintosh as Principal and in 1984 he was responsible for overseeing an extensive expansion of the College. The Turon Building was built to provide extra laboratories and classrooms for science classes. The Harvey Building was built and equipped with hand, power and machine tools for Industrial Arts, and the Miguel Lecture Theatre was built as a flexible space for 240 for general teaching, assembly, and audio-visual presentations.
In 1986 Oakhill College celebrated its Golden Jubilee.
On 9th March 1989, the Brother Quentin Building was opened. The building was named in honour of former Principal, Br Quentin O'Halloran, whose vision and initiative were prime drivers for its construction.
Principals: Br Walter Farrell (1968-1973), Br Martin Blattman (1974-1975), Br Peter McIntosh (1976-1981), Br Conrad Callinan (1982-1984), Br Quentin O'Halloran (1985-1990), Br Rory Higgins (1989-1991).
1990s – 2010s
On 3rd March 1992, the Library reopened after significant renovations and was renamed the P.J. Walsh Library in honour of the College's long-serving bursar, Mr John Walsh.
In 1994 the First XV, coached by Br Ambrose Payne, defeated the formidable Marist College Canberra and won the Waratah Shield, the Holy Grail of NSW schoolboy rugby. It was sweet revenge for the team's defeat at the hands of the same opponents in the 1993 Grand Final.
On 23rd July 1995, the two-storey Solomon Building was opened, more formally known as the Information Technology Building, housing the fast-growing computer studies courses. It contained six state-of-the-art computer rooms on the top level and several curriculum offices in the bottom level. It also accommodated the network data centre and offices for the IT staff.
In 1996 the College celebrated its diamond jubilee.
In 1996, Principal, Br Ambrose Payne, established the House-based structure. The House system, as well as encouraging sporting and academic competitiveness, was implemented as a way of strengthening a "sense of belonging and of being known" (Br Ambrose Payne, 1997 College Yearbook).
In 1997 new cooking and kitchen facilities were built for Hospitality – a school-based vocational course.
In 2000 twenty-six networked computers were installed in a dedicated technology classroom in the Library.
The Brother Ambrose Stand was erected on Damien Oval.
A new industrial kitchen was built in the basement of the McIntosh Building in preparation for new NSW Board of Studies courses in Food Technology and Hospitality and to accommodate the increasing popularity of these courses.
On 2nd April 2004 renovations were completed on the iconic De La Salle Building and it was handed over to Oakhill College by the Trustees of the De La Salle Brothers. The De La Salle Building commenced as the Brothers' Training College in 1936 and later became part of the Australian Catholic University was painstakingly refurbished with particular attention paid to protecting and preserving the building's cultural significance and heritage.
In 2005 four new tennis courts were built at the northern end of BC Oval and the College farm was completely redeveloped (a large barn for the storage of hay and farm equipment; a bigger plot for plants and vegetables; brand new sheep and cattle yards and security fencing). Also, work on Hermann Oval (named after Mr Hermann Fischer who for many years worked at the school as a volunteer farmhand) was completed.
2006 marked two important anniversaries: the 70th anniversary of Oakhill College and the centenary of the De La Salle Brothers in Australia whose first school was opened in Armidale in 1906.
On 27th October 2006, the Centenary Sports Centre was officially opened by former Principal, Br Ambrose Payne. Its two basketball courts, with electronic scoreboards, also provided a very comfortable space for school functions and whole-of-school assemblies. A fully-equipped kitchen, gymnasium, heated swimming pool, offices, audio-visual equipment and foyer replete with Oakhill memorabilia are other features of a modern, versatile building which then Principal, Br Chris Gorringe, described as "a testament to the vision and hard work of all those involved in its planning and construction" and says of it that "its name acts as a tribute to the contributions of all staff, parents, students, past students and, of course Brothers who have been involved in Lasallian education in Australia, and especially at Oakhill, during the past 100 years." (College Yearbook 2006).
In 2007 Brother Ken Ormerod was appointed Oakhill College's 18th Principal.
In 2007 the campus was extensively wired, paradoxically, for 'wireless' network connectivity, and Interactive Whiteboards were installed in a few of the classrooms; the first of several roll-outs and upgrades to wireless infrastructure and IWB technology on the campus over the next few years.
The old 25-metre swimming pool constructed by the Fathers Association in the early 1960's was covered and, with attendant drainage works, converted to an underground water tank capable of storing up to 700,000 litres of water.
On 1st January 2008 Oakhill College incorporates and becomes Oakhill College Ltd. The new nine-member Board was chaired by Br John Pill and replaced the former Advisory Board which was formed in 1977. The new Board was vested with the responsibility of governing the College and supporting and promoting it as a Catholic school in the tradition of St John Baptist de La Salle.
Between 15-20 July 2008 the College hosted hundreds of pilgrims mainly from the Pacific Islands during the celebration of the 23rd World Youth Day.
In 2009 for the sixth time in its history the Oakhill College crest was re-designed. Features of the traditional Oakhill College crest were re-worked into a vibrant, modern look.
In September 2010, the Oakhill Cup was inaugurated. This inter-House competition is a pastoral care initiative aimed at recognizing student participation and accomplishment across the spectrum of College life and runs over four school terms beginning in Term 4 of one year and ending in Term 3 of the next year.
Principals: Br Ambrose Payne (1991 – 1998), Br Chris Gorringe (1999-2006), Br Ken Ormerod (2007-2012)
2010 – 2020
In 2011 Oakhill College celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Founders' Day mass in the Concert Hall of Sydney Opera was a highlight and offered the College community the perfect setting to thank the Brothers for three-quarters of a century of service and commitment to the Lasallian mission at Oakhill College.
A new Honour Board for Alumni of Distinction was inaugurated as part of Oakhill College's 75th anniversary celebrations. The Honour Roll acknowledges past and present students who make a significant contribution to the community in areas such as the Arts, Religion, Education, Sport, and Health.
Miguel House won the inaugural Oakhill Cup.
In 2012 Android tablets were pioneered at Oakhill College as 21st Century teaching and learning tools.
In January 2014, the College's wireless infrastructure was completely overhauled to meet coverage and density requirements of the now thousands of wireless-connected devices on the campus each day.
In Dec 2013-Jan 2014 five new classrooms were built in the under croft of the Solomon Building.
In December 2013-March 2014 the two bottom floors of the Liesse Building were stripped out and fully renovated. New offices were built for Administration and Accounting staff and a new Sick Bay and Nurse's station were added to the complex. The Wagan Building was also renovated and Learning Support, Counselling, and Careers staff were moved into the new offices.
Mrs Pauline Hunt was appointed as the school's first onsite registered nurse.
School enrolments were now above 1650, an increase of over 40,000% on the original enrolment of George & Alex O'Hare, Pat Leahy and Gordon O'Grady.
In 2016 Mr Johnathan Byrne was appointed as Acting Principal for 2016.
In January 2017 Br Steve Hogan was appointed Principal of Oakhill College having completed six years as Principal at the prestigious La Salle College, Hong Kong, and prior to that as Principal of De La Salle College, Mangere, Auckland, New Zealand.
Principals: Br Ken Ormerod (2007-2012), Br Peter Ryan (2013-2015), Mr Jonathan Byrne (Acting 2016), Br Steve Hogan (2017- Present)

Before I transitioned my practice to improvement advising many years ago, I worked as an expert consultant to the Ambulance Service industry. Primarily, that included auditing community EMS systems, writing detailed reports, and making recommendations on service improvement. Over time, this approach became unsatisfying because it focused on subject matter expert opinions and poorly leveraged the local knowledge of the system. It also did not integrate stakeholders like partners, community leaders, and patients in a meaningful way. I believe this is why the majority of consultant reports are never implemented and many leaders yearn for an alternative.
Over the last few years, I have been thinking about the models for improvement and engagement we advocate as we pursue patient safety and improvement and how they could be applied to an alternative approach to support communities wishing to enhance their EMS system. I've also been approached by industry leaders yearning for a way to improve and strengthen their local team to achieve measurable results. I believe we have designed a process to achieve the unique project goals of an EMS System. Our approach aims to achieve the following:
- Involve key stakeholders in the design, oversight, and review of the project and its findings.
- Use objective and statistically appropriate process and outcome data to understand the system and its opportunities for improving reliability and reducing variation.
- Support and advise as data findings are understood and recommendations are co-created for enhancing the EMS system.
- Strive for an inclusive, objective, transparent, and highly engaged process that blends evidence-based and best practice approaches with community's local needs and aspirations.
We believe that we offer a unique approach to meet your goals. It's no silver bullet and requires you to do a lot of work, but the aim is to co-create the results that matter to you and build your capacity to execute and improve.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic connective tissue disease. Characteristics of systemic sclerosis include essential vasomotor disturbances; fibrosis; subsequent atrophy of the skin (see the image below), subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and internal organs (eg, alimentary tract, lungs, heart, kidney, CNS); and immunologic disturbances accompany these findings.
In one survey one quarter of patients with Raynaud phenomenon not fitting the 1980 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria were reclassified as having systemic sclerosis using the 2013 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria. [1]
See Cutaneous Clues to Accurately Diagnosing Rheumatologic Disease, a Critical Images slideshow, to help recognize cutaneous manifestations of rheumatologic diseases.
Also see Juvenile Systemic Sclerosis for a pediatric focus.
Excessive collagen deposition causes skin and internal organ changes. Many factors, including environmental factors, can lead to immunologic system disturbances and vascular changes. Endothelial alterations may lead to a cascade of stimulatory changes that involve many cells, including fibroblasts, T lymphocytes, macrophages, and mast cells. In turn, the activated cells secrete a variety of substances, including cytokines and their soluble receptors and enzymes and their inhibitors. These substances lead to changes in the extracellular matrix compounds, including fibronectin; proteoglycans; and collagen types I, III, V, and VII. Increased collagen deposition in tissues is a characteristic feature of systemic sclerosis. Increased collagen production or disturbances in its degradation can cause excessive collagen deposition in tissues.
Fibrosis can be caused by profibrotic cytokines, including transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), interleukin-4 (IL-4), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and connective-tissue growth factor. [2] The vasculopathy may be linked to TGF-beta and PDGF, while the diminution of lesional cutaneous blood vessels can be attributed to antiendothelial cell autoantibodies. The activation of the immune system is of paramount importance in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis. Antigen-activated T cells, activated infiltrate early, infiltrate the skin, and produce the profibrotic cytokine IL-4. B cells may contribute to fibrosis, as deficiency of CD19, a B-cell transduction molecule, results in decreased fibrosis in animal models.
Different factors, including genetic, environmental, vascular, autoimmunologic, and microchimeric factors are involved in systemic sclerosis pathogenesis. One theory states that antigens from the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) histocompatability complex, including HLA-B8, HLA-DR5, HLA-DR3, HLA-DR52, and HLA-DQB2, are involved in systemic sclerosis. Some data suggest that apoptosis and the generation of free radicals may be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis.
In systemic sclerosis, affected organs and systems include the skin, lungs, heart, digestive system, kidneys, muscles, joints, and nervous system.
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmunologic disease, but the pathogenesis is only partially understood. Certain factors are well known to trigger occurrence of the disease or create a similar clinical appearance. Environmental factors include exposure to the following:
Vibration injury (similar vascular changes)
Organic solvents (eg, toluene, benzene, xylene)
Aliphatic hydrocarbons (eg, hexane, vinyl chloride, trichloroethylene)
Epoxy resin
Amino acid compound L-5-hydroxytryptophan
Drugs (eg, bleomycin, carbidopa, pentazocine, cocaine, penicillamine, vitamin K): A limited form of cutaneous systemic sclerosis has been described with paclitaxel in with the setting of breast cancer. [5]
Appetite suppressants (eg, phenylethylamine derivatives)
Substances used in cosmetic procedures (eg, silicone or paraffin implants)
United States
Systemic sclerosis is a rare disease. Systemic sclerosis is diagnosed in approximately 67 male patients and 265 female patients per 100,000 people each year.
Systemic sclerosis is estimated to occur in 2.3-10 people per 1 million. Systemic sclerosis is rare in the resident population of Japan and China.
No apparent racial predominance exists. However, systemic sclerosis is rare in the resident population of Japan and China. Diffuse systemic sclerosis (dSSc) occurs more often in black women than in white women.
Overall, a substantial female predominance exists, with a female-to-male ratio of 3-6:1. However, dSSc occurs equally in males and females. The limited form of systemic sclerosis (lSSc) has a strong female predominance, with a female-to-male ratio of 10:1. Another analysis showed that men tend to have diffuse disease and women to have calcinosis. [6]
Systemic sclerosis usually appears in women aged 30-40 years, and it occurs in slightly older men. In approximately 85% of cases, systemic sclerosis develops in individuals aged 20-60 years. Cases also are observed in children and in the elderly population.
The prognosis depends on the type of systemic sclerosis (SSc). In lSSc, a patient's condition can be stable for years. However, in dSSc, the disease can rapidly lead to death, if it is not treated promptly. Pulmonary hypertension may be an important cause of mortality in these patients. Survival complicated by pulmonary hypertension remains poor despite currently available treatment options. [7] Pulmonary hypertension was documented 25% of elderly patients, yet only in 12% of the youngest ones in a large study that stressed the differences in early- versus late-onset systemic sclerosis. [8] Cigarette smoking has been found to reduce overall survival. [9] In a multicenter French cohort study, age older than 60 years at diagnosis, diffuse cutaneous SSc, scleroderma renal crisis, dyspnea, 6-minute walking distance, forced vital capacity less than 70%, diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide less than 70%, pulmonary hypertension, telangiectasia, valvular disease, malignancy, anemia, and C-reactive protein greater than 8mg/L were linked with poorer survival. [10]
The undeniable impact of systemic sclerosis on quality of life underscores the need for a biopsychosocial approach to the clinical management. Orofacial manifestations need to be considered. [11] Timely detection of psychosocial difficulties and appropriate psychological or psychiatric intervention are also important steps toward better adherence to medical treatment. [12] Not surprisingly, the prevalence of depressive symptoms were evaluated as high and were independently associated with pain, fatigue, social support, emotion-focused coping, helplessness, and fear of progression. [13, 14] Psychosocial factors associated with depressive symptoms merit attention.
A Canadian study assessed the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHODAS II) as a valid measure of quality of life in systemic sclerosis patients. Results suggested the WHODAS II has good psychometric properties and is a valid measure of health-related quality of life in patients with systemic sclerosis. [15]
The mortality rate is increasing in the United States and Europe; as many as 3.08 persons are affected per 1 million. Generally, renal and lung changes are responsible for death in patients with systemic sclerosis. Pulmonary hypertension leads to 12% of systemic sclerosis–related deaths. Lung fibrosis and heart changes are responsible for 9% of systemic sclerosis–related deaths. These patients also have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. [16]
Patient Education
The most effective method for preventing a Raynaud episode is to avoid exposure to cold temperatures. Smoking cessation should be discussed with patients and their families, as applicable.

"Motorsport is Dangerous." That is what it says on the back of every ticket....and every media credential. As a working professional motorsport photographer, I'm well aware of the risks inherent with my job. I think most of us are. But a freak accident could snuff your life out in the safest spot on the track just as much as it could the most dangerous spot. And it's the freak accidents that generally generate the knee jerk reactions from a series' safety committee.
I've long been a fan of racing and I spend many boring Monday mornings watching funny/crazy/scary crash compilations on youtube, just as anyone else might. There have been some mighty close calls over the last few years with regard to photographers being in the line of fire with race cars. But at the end of the day, it's a dangerous job. No one is out there making us work against our will.
(the spot where photographers were standing for Allan McNish's 2011 Le Mans crash is now a "red [no go] zone." A car will probably never crash there again. No one was injured).
Watching the Formula One race yesterday, we saw a scary incident where Mark Webber was released from a pitstop before his tire was completely attached back onto the car. The result was that the thing went bouncing down the pitlane at some speed and ended up connecting with FOM cameraman, Paul Allen. From what I read, Paul has a broken collar bone and a few broken ribs. He was attended to immediately, but appeared to have escaped serious injury.
What surprised me most from the event was the reaction on twitter from fans. People calling for all the media to be kicked out of pitlane, improved safety measures (ie everyone wear helmets), or in general for something to change so that an accident like this never happens again....
Former FIA Medical doctor Gary Hartstein said this about the incident yesterday on Twitter...
Never EVER turn your back to oncoming traffic. No matter where one is on the circuit. Know where danger is coming from, and plan escape rts
— Gary Hartstein (@former_f1doc)
You're absolutely right, Gary. But it just isn't that easy. Even if Paul had been facing the right way, with a camera lens to his eye, the field of view is so narrow that he might not have ever seen the tire bearing down on him. Most of us shoot with one eye through the viewfinder, and one eye open looking for danger. But even under the best circumstances, you don't see much around you. It's just something we accept. You learn to use your other senses. Hearing becomes super important and just a general sense of awareness becomes your greatest/only ally.
But let's slow down a minute and quit with the knee jerk reactions. In the history of F1, and for as many pit stops as F1 rolls through each race, we really don't see very many accidents at all. In fact, for as much as the media travels, we probably have a better chance of being involved with a plane crash than an accident in pitplane. F1's pit lane safety record is pretty darn spotless. I've worked in almost every series pitlane over the last two years (F1, NASCAR, Indycar, WEC, ALMS, Grandam, MotoGP, FIA GT..........) and the one I feel the safest in is F1.
So to eliminate some of the grey area that surrounds motorsport and specifically rules that help keep the media "safe" in pitlane...here is a handy user guide for the different major series and what rules they have regarding media.
NASCAR: NO ONE. And I mean NO ONE goes over pitwall. Or on pitwall. Or hangs over pitwall. No firesuit or helmet necessary to be in the team pitbox, but you do need to be wearing long pants and closed toed shoes to work in the garage area. Many tracks (Daytona, Talladega and Darlington among them) do not allow photographers to shoot from the outside catch fence. The biggest thing you have to worry about with NASCAR pit stops is staying out of the team's way.....and flying lug nuts which will leave a sizable knot on your head.
Indycar: During practice sessions, selected media with experience (and the need to shoot in pitlane) can work in a hot pit lane. From qualifying onward, no media can go over the wall. During race mode, you need to have a special sticker on your credential to even go near the pits.
MotoGP: Only media with a hard card vest can work in a hot pit lane. And they don't do pitstops, so it's really not an issue.
American Le Mans Series: Only selected media with a special "pitlane" vest can work over the wall. Helmet and fire suit are required. Behind pitwall, no helmet is needed. The issue becomes that there are generally quite a few photographers who can work over the wall and when a famous driver (like Patrick Dempsey) is running, it becomes a bit of a $hitshow with the number of media trying to snag a photo. And about half of the photographers are amateurs who know someone, who knows someone, who got them a credential. As my friend James Moy said, they're mostly there to get a photo to hang on their wall or put on facebook rather than do a job.
Grandam: No media over the wall. Ever. NASCAR rules apply (because GrandAm is owned by NASCAR).
World Endurance Championship: Similar to ALMS. Pitlane vest, Helmet and firesuit required to be over the wall during hot session. No helmet required if you're behind the wall.
My good friend Camden Thrasher sporting the "safety" equipment needed for a sportscar pitlane. As you can see, a simple bike helmet is as much safety gear as we need to wear.
And finally, we arrive at Formula One. Pit passes are hard to come by. Your media credential does not automatically mean you get pit lane access. A green lanyard means "no pitlane". a red lanyard means you do get "pit access".
During practice, there really isn't a limit to how many media can be in pit lane as as long as we all have the proper credentials. But for the race, there is a limit of six still photographers and six FOM cameramen that can be in the pitlane. And the still photographers cannot be on pitlane itself. They must be on the pit wall. So that's basically 6 videographers on pitlane with the cars. Hardly a gaggle worth worrying about especially when they tend to be the most experienced in the business. And Paul Allen (the injured FOM cameraman) is one of them.
(This was taken during pre-season testing, so I did not need to be on pitwall for this photo)
So today, in what is largely a knee jerk reaction by the FIA, it has been mandated that all media must now stand on the pit wall. Is it a huge deal? No. Not really. We'll lose those cool angles from ground level of an F1 pit stop in action from the FOM feed. But other than that, not much will change. But the real point is a larger one. In our health and safety obsessed society, at what point has it gone too far?
"Look forward to seeing Horner, Mallya, Montezemelo and Co wearing their safety helmets on the pitwall. #SafetyForAll #F1 — James Moy (@jamesmoy)"
I know that my job as a photographer has become a lot more difficult over the last few years simply because of how many safety barriers, catch fences, and the sheer amount of run off we have to shoot over just to get a photo of a car or bike on track. And all for our own "protection." It's kind of why I LOVE covering Pikes Peak Hill Climb. I sign a waiver releasing the organizers of liability, and I get to shoot in spots that would make most people cringe at the perceived level of danger involved in it because there is no safety net. No protection. It's just me, a mountain and a race car. Kind of the way it used to be.
My decisions are my own responsibility. I understand that my profession is dangerous. I use my head and use some common sense and hope for a little luck....and so far, I've come home without a scratch on me. And maybe this post will be read at my early funeral....but somehow I think I'll be just fine. :)

Lately, it seems that turbocharged engines have become all the rage as automakers chase increasingly stringent fuel economy standards. Turbochargers are known for boosting horsepower, so how do they improve fuel economy? They allow automakers to put smaller engines in cars without giving up the power that consumers have come to crave and to expect.
Even pickups and large SUVs often come with turbocharged engines these days.
What Is a Turbocharger?
A turbocharger, as its name implies, is a small turbine that sits under the hood and compresses the air that goes into the engine. Because it's denser, more air molecules can be stuffed into the same amount of space inside each cylinder. (This denser air also requires more fuel, but we'll get to that in a minute.)
'Free Power'
The best part is that the turbocharger is turned with by the exhaust; as the exhaust comes out of the engine on its way to the tailpipe, it spins a turbine sitting in the exhaust manifold. That turbine is connected to a shaft that spins a compressor in the intake manifold.
The turbocharger doesn't produce extra power – and thus require extra gas – until the driver demands it and presses down hard on the accelerator. Then, the engine takes in more air and fuel, and makes more exhaust. This spins the turbine and compresses the air. Fuel injectors add extra fuel to make a little turbocharged engine crank out big horsepower.
Where Did Turbochargers Originate?
For decades (starting with the Oldsmobile F-85 in the 1960s), turbochargers were used to give modest cars more power. Later, in cars like the iconic Porsche 911 Turbo, automakers strictly used them to make already-potent cars insanely fast. They used great big turbochargers that made a lot of extra power, but they took a long time to spool up after the driver hit the gas. That delay between when the driver pushes the pedal and the turbocharger kicks in is known as "turbo lag."
Today's Turbochargers
The latest turbocharged engines are smaller – in many cases very small. The new Ford Focus and Fiesta ST use 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines. Since the turbocharger only produces extra power and uses extra gas when it needs it, these smaller engines get better gas mileage when the driver is just cruising along than a bigger engine would.
Their tiny turbochargers also spool up to speed quickly – more quickly than the whole engine could rev up to deliver similar power.
Do They Work?
Although today's little turbochargers deliver significant gains in power, if the goal is to get better fuel economy, the results are mixed. Some small turbocharged cars deliver great gas mileage in EPA testing. Others deliver only incremental increases, and have trouble living up to those numbers in everyday driving. Automakers are chasing every tenth of a mile per gallon in EPA testing to boost their cars' fuel economy ratings, so from their standpoint the turbos are a success. They wouldn't spend the money on them if they weren't.
Turbocharged Trucks
Now turbos are making their way into the most popular vehicles in America: full-sized pickup trucks. The Ford F-150 offers two turbocharged V6 engines, a 2.7-liter and a 3.5-liter. The 3.5-liter develops the same power as the F-150's big 5.0-liter V8, and it does so at much lower rpm. That makes it the perfect engine for hauling and towing. Some buyers may miss the rumble of the big V8 in the pickup, but the 3.5-liter V6 also gets two more mpg in EPA combined testing than the V8.
Turbos in Small Cars
The same results carry over to small car class. They make more power at lower rpm, so they feel much more relaxed to drive. That can be a revelation to anyone who hasn't driven one of these models before. They have the feeling of bigger, more comfortable cars with more powerful engines, because they don't have to downshift so often before delivering power for passing or climbing hills.
Older turbocharged engines developed a reputation as mechanical time bombs. Turbos spin at hundreds of thousands of rpm, and bearings often failed. Today, automakers have perfected the oiling systems that keep turbochargers going for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Older turbos made so much power that they frequently caused problems with other parts of the car. Transmissions would fail, brakes would need replacements more often, and engines would overheat.
These problems haven't cropped up with smaller turbochargers on smaller engines. Automakers seem to have learned their lessons from older turbos.
Today's turbocharged engines are much more reliable, and it's rare to have major problems with a modern engine, whether it's turbocharged or not.
Should You Trust a Turbo?
These days, small turbocharged engines deliver a better driving experience than non-turbocharged models. And while not all of them live up to their promised fuel economy, some do very well. Whether you're looking for performance, high fuel-economy estimates, or reliability, it's important to look at the ratings for each individual model you're considering. A turbocharged engine, though, is no longer a good reason to eliminate a model from consideration.
