Ian Through the Years
Ian Fieggen, 04-Oct-2007
Ian's Selected Photos
Click any photo to view a larger, more detailed version.
Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Central Australia
Many tourists climb the rock, which, besides being both extremely strenuous and ignorant of the culture of the local aborigines, only affords a view of the surrounding desert. I believe the walk around the base provides many more spectacular views of the rock.
Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Central Australia
After an interesting hike through this fascinating rocky landscape, we crested a spectacular lookout that looks down over the area into which we hiked next. We continued ahead and left around the back of the mountains to complete a circuit.
Our house in Spring
Our house in Spring, viewed from the corner of our garden. All three of our newly planted fruit trees have just started to blossom. You can also see the new outdoor setting we bought to fit the verandah.
Fire at Wilson's Prom
My friend Neil and I visited Wilson's Prom on the weekend, only to happen upon a fire in one of the old accommodation huts. It was fortunate the weather was partly rainy, as this could otherwise have easily spread and devastated the surrounding bush of this beautiful national park.
Ian's ankle injury
Coming down a flight of stairs at full pelt, I missed my footing and rolled my ankle really severely. Although not broken, I'd torn two ligaments and some bone. The sports injury specialist said it was the worst ankle injury he'd ever seen where the bone
Ian's healed ankle
By comparison, here's a photo of my more or less healed and somewhat slimmer ankle today. The comparison would have been even greater had I taken a picture when my ankle was at its worst; I recall my leg somewhat resembling that of an elephant!
Sunset on our beach in Chelsea
With Summer just beginning, this spectacular sunset was perhaps a promise of the balmy evenings we'd soon be spending on our local beach in Chelsea, Victoria.
Kangaroo at sunset at Wilson's Prom
We took a sunset walk at Wilson's Promontory, a huge national park at the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. This kangaroo looked right at home and quite camouflaged in amongst the long grass.
Dinie Fieggen at 76 years old
On Mum's 76th birthday, I took a quick, candid photo at a restaurant. This turned out to be one of the best photos of Mum, who always appeared uncomfortable having her photo taken.
Fieggen family reunion
For the first time in 20 years, we had the whole of the original Australian branch of the Fieggen family together again at their home in Edithvale, Victoria. This photo shows Mum and Dad, five children, three spouses and seven grand-children.
South Gippsland hills in morning mist
Driving through South Gippsland is always beautiful, with spectacular views of rolling hills. This chilly morning saw just the upper parts of the hills peeking out from a low blanket of mist.
Our back garden in Spring
Spring in our back garden in Chelsea, Victoria. Our fruit trees are always bursting with new life, promising yet another great harvest of delicious home-grown fruit, from which we make our home-made jams.
Boat sheds on Edithvale beach
Group of boat sheds on nearby Edithvale beach, including Dad's shed (3rd from the left in the big photo). Hundreds of these colourful wooden sheds line Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia.
Smoke haze at Edithvale beach
Victoria's 2006 bushfire season was really bad, with smoke extending through much of the state. Here, the evening sun glows eerily through the haze at nearby Edithale beach.
Pincushion Hakea flower
I found this fascinating flower on a tree in Chelsea during one of our walks. It looks a bit like a firework going off!
Happy lemon in fruit bowl
After a storm, we collected several fallen lemons and put them into our fruit bowl. Imagine my surprise to find this "happy lemon" the next day when the bruises appeared. This was
Damselfly on oleander leaf
I'm always fascinated by the beatutiful wings on damselflies and dragonflies. This one perched nicely on an olander leaf in our front garden, perfect for photographing against the blue sky.
Ian's T.V. interview for "A Current Affair"
After the release of my book, "Laces", I was interviewed for the Australian T.V. program "A Current Affair". Here's me with the interviewer, Brady Halls, plus the cameraman, Steve (whom we reckon looks like Aussie actor Bryan Brown).
Inge rescuing whales on King Island
On our arrival on King Island, we learned that there had been a mass whale beaching overnight. We spent a remarkable, exhausting day helping countless islanders lug buckets of water to keep the living ones hydrated. All those whales that had been found alive were eventually rescued!
Heart shaped coffee stain
I've never been one to interpret anything from tea leaves (particularly since tea bags were invented!) but this heart shaped coffee stain caught my imagination.
Long Swamp flooded by recent rains
Following a decade-long drought in Australia, it was amazing to at last see Long Swamp in our nearby Braeside Park filled with water, giving the old gum trees a much needed drink.
Ian with Huntsman spider
Don't freak out! Huntsman spiders, although pretty large, are fairly placid and non-agressive. I found this beauty indoors, so I gently coaxed it onto my hand and took it outside to live in our garden and (hopefully) kill insects.
Departing Melbourne on ferry to Tasmania
Departing Melbourne on the overnight ferry to Tasmania, it was still light enough to capture this nice evening shot of Station Pier and the Melbourne city skyline.
Crepuscular ray along Bass Highway
Crepuscular rays occur when shafts of light are visible passing through haze. We spotted this single ray, seemingly like a massive searchlight, along the Bass Highway in southern Victoria.
Churchill Island reflections
Despite rather inclement weather on our car trip down to Churchill Island, we were surprised to see these amazing reflections in the surprisingly calm waters surrounding the island.
Calm morning swim at Chelsea beach
On a beautiful warm January morning, conditions were perfect for a morning swim at our local beach in Chelsea, with the water totally calm.
Globe lamp reflection
A shiny globe lamp in a building foyer in Frankston provided an opportunity for an interesting reflected self-portrait of Ian and Inge.
Blue Spotted Hawker dragonfly
On a very hot day in January, this large dragonfly sheltering in a shady corner of our back yard allowed me to come close enough to take a great photo.

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
The chance to just spend an evening together, alone, talking about nothing in particular whilst eating good food and drinking champagne, without anything noisy on the TV or lots of other housemates lurking. We don't get much of a chance just to be alone together, so anything like that would be a luxury!

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
I know my husband likes crepes very much, so I plan to make for him chicken crepes with besamel in the oven (I hope this makes sense!) and sweet cpepes for desert with chocolate inside and banana (that I know he loves very much) and of course creme with caramel sirup to dress it up! (but all these in small quantities )
Surely all these will take place if my dear mom keeps my baby daughter for the night

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
hi all!
I'm gonna cook a meal that remembers us of a very romantic weekend we spent last autumn in london. we ate at fifteen and it was such a great evening! therefore i'd like to cook:
Fifteen Fantastic Salad (with mozzarella, bresaola, beetroot and the horseradish crème fraîche)
crab linguine or caramelle
semifreddo di fragole (don'thave the 15 recipe, but DB27 was so nice to give me one)
pretty sure my boyfriend will love me even more after this dinner, as he's a fan of jamie's cooking
looking forward to the new podcast!

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
Hi Jamie
I satarted a Valentines thread a few days ago, and so far it seems that most people want messy food that they can tear apart and eat with their fingers or slurp up!!!
Mussels have been mentioned, Oysters, Sticky pork ribs, Fondue was in there somewhere...
Choccy seems a bit popular... so does strawberrys (even though they are no-where near in season yet).
Profiteroles made a mention too, Romantic indoor picnicks.
Thai salmon, apple crumble... it seems that people have quite a wide variety of tastes when it comes to the food of Luuuuuuuurrrrrrve...
One thing that does seem to crop up a lot is lots and lots of fizz and or champers!!!
I will probably be at work in the evening... so romantic dinner for the missus is probably out this year... but I have given her a cute Chocolate Labrador puppy, so hopefully that has won me enough brownie points for her to forgive me again!!!
Looking forward to the podcast mate... keep up the good work
Big Love

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
Hi Jamie
For me it would simply be to have my husband at home for the evening - he works away most of the year. Even better would be a quiet evening together, no television, some good music, good food and a lovely bottle of wine - and a guarantee that the children would sleep all night
Would probably cook a venison & red wine stew, with a celeriac mash, followed by a rich chocolate mousse.

Re: Tell me about your perfect Valentine's!
My ideal Valantines day would be to take a long stroll along a deserted beach and watch the sunset. In the evening, lighting a bonfire, and cooking dinner together on some hot coals. Dinner would include whole fish parcels cooked with aromatic spices in its own juices, smoked rice and whole sweet potatoes. Dessert would be sticky rice cakes (made the day before and kept in an esky). After dinner, laying on the beach for some stargazing... That would be my ideal Valentines Day.

|Looking back, looking ahead
Successful vaccines have been created to protect against pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Why aren't there any for combating fungal infections?
It may be time to reconsider an AIDS vaccine which is more human than viral, triggering the immune system in a way that no other vaccine does.
A new breed of vaccines aims to wean users off cocaine.
Decades of vaccine research have expanded our understanding of the immune system and are yielding novel disease-fighting tactics.
In discovering their shared ancestry, a distantly related animal geneticist and plant pathologist find a common thread in their work on immune receptors.
Recent clinical trials have reignited the interest in simple anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin for controlling the inflammation associated with cancer.

By The Hays Daily News
The Hays Monarchs AA Legion baseball team begins play in the Zone 6 Tournament today in Lincoln.
The Monarchs (14-12) will play host Lincoln County (17-5) in the noon game, then depending on a win or loss would face either Smith Center (13-7) or Hoisington (11-10).
The tournament runs today through Wednesday (if necessary) with the first title round played Monday at 8:30 p.m.
The Monarchs won last year's zone tourney, then placed second in the state tournament.
Hays enters the tournament 14-12 after splitting its regular season finale against Great Bend on Wednesday.
Pierce Schippers is the Monarchs' top hitter with a .409 average. He is one of six Monarchs at .300 or better, including Cameron Brin, who leads the team in total hits. He is tied for the team lead with Ryan Schippers in doubles at seven. Brin (5-1) will start today's first game, then Shane Zimmerman (1-3) will get the nod in the second. If the Monarchs play Monday, Pierce Schippers (3-4) will take the mound.
The winner of the zone advances to next week's state tournament in Pratt.

Episode Information
Do we even need handwriting anymore? Kitty Burns Florey thinks we do. In a world overrun by texts and emails, KBF is one of the last outposts of penwomanship. Call the show and tell us about the nun who made you the readable writer you are today. Also in studio, Terry Walters joins Colin to talk blueberries! The pair celebrates this year's bumper crop and share what they love about our little blue friends.
Listener Email from Mimi
Just wanted you to know, regarding your upcoming show on the demise? of handwriting, that this is a subject I've been particularly concerned about for some time. I even wrote a piece about it several months ago, because I'm so worried about it.
Question for Kitty
Any tips on writing well with an electronic pen? I have to use one to give presentations live online, and it drives me insane. My hard-copy writing has always been very awkward looking. Online, I write like a 3-year-old.
(All I know about the Palmer Method is what my grandmother showed me years ago: draw overlapping loops. I tried it, but didn't have much success.)
Listener Email from Linda
Listener Email from Ellen
Lyman Orchards is a wonderful place to pick!
Listener Email from Matt
I did not get a chance to finish my story. Sorry about that, I must have been taking to long.
Anyway what I was saying was that I have a very stylized form of handwritig, which has to be ledgible for my job.
Well, the other day I was browsig around a music store in new haven, and I noticed the person who had hand written the names of the artists had the EXACT same hand writing as I did. It was wild!
The guy who wrote the labels happened to be working, and we got I to a conversation about it.
We both wrote down the same sentences and compared them. Granted, their were subtle differences, however the overall style was nearly identicle.
Thanks alot! Sorry for taking so long on the air.

It's great to have unique handrwiting, but unique spelling leaves something to be desired.
Listener Email from William
Some individuals have poor penmanship, although I'm not sure if the Internet, email or texting is to blame. It may be a result of just not caring about what we produce in this "get it done fast and cheap" world. What seems to be more at risk is the ability to craft complete sentences. So often, I receive emails from "highly educated" colleagues, that make me a little unsure about delegating assignments to them that involve....thought.

Hi Jamie,
I'm so happy to be here. I hope that you have a great time in Italy, great country near Bosnia.
You should pop to my country, we are prepearing very good food here, very specific. Please, if you could, ask someone from the ex Yugoslavia Republics about "SARMA". It's our domestic dish and all foreigners in my town are really crazy about SARMA. My mother made a lot for them. And a lot of other good meals.
Dinners in your last book are the best of the best. I read that your new book will be published this year. I can not imagine what you are prepearing for us. I want to ask you one question. Who is the publisher in Bosnia who has the right to publish your books in local language? If you don't have anyone, could you forward me a message about this matter or contact details of person who is incharge? With Love,

Hi jamie,
Recently i have taken up a position catering for children between the ages of 9 & 16 in a care home, having children of my own i try my best to encourage a healthy, nutritious, balanced diet but this is becoming a hard task these children have eaten alot of junk food in the past and they are reluctant to try new things.(well done to you for the school dinners).
It's difficult to please everyone at the same time this sometimes results in say 4
different dishes for 12 people. The budget is a tight one as well £2.75 per child per day. If u have any suggestions that would benefit us it would be much appreiciated.
Speak later take it easy .

Hello All!
My name is Lou, just signed up as me and my boyfriend have never eaten so well! We tended to live on Pizza and Chinese as up here its so cheap.. now if I see another Chinese I feel sick!
So I've always been addicted to recipe books and I have loads of them but never used them, until recently! Now we are making our way through the books and actually cooking together. We love the chicken in a bag receipes, I love the stews, and the "my ole mans superb chicken" is just fantastic. My boyfriend is quite fussy, and I'm not even allowed fish in the house, so dinner time used to be quite stressful. But since we've been trying out your new recipes we both look and feel so much healthier.
So thank you very much - and I look forward to picking up new ideas on these forums!
Love Lou x

Recently, I attended the latest OpenAccess (OA) conference put on by Si2. Attendance this year seemed to be up from last year. Whether the increased attendance was due to the increased adoption that we've seen in the industry or the fact that the conference was free this year is unclear. However, it is crystal clear that OA is no longer just a promise, and that adoption has moved from the true early … Read More

"Great purchase"
Awesome conditioner. I use it in conjunction with their oatmeal shampoo and my dog has never looked, smelled, or felt so nice! Gentle, effective, and worth every little penny. Our dog suffers from very dry skin since moving back to the desert and this has been the perfect product along with the shampoo to help relieve her symptoms.
"So soft "
Love it. I buy it to try and is excellent in any coat. Remove tangles very fast and leave coat as soft as a cotton ball :-)
I LOVE all the Bio-Groom products I have ordered so far, and this is my favourite! My Pom is a cream/light orange combination. After I use this and the light hits him, it looks as though he has streaks of fine gold threads in his coat! Cant beat the scent either.
"Love the stuff"
I have been using this conditioner for decades on shaggy double coated dogs of all sizes. It is great stuff. It helps detangling the coat, it keeps the dogs from getting itchy after the bath (I use it like lotion on bellies etc), it makes prickles and stickers slick so they rinse out, and it smells nice and clean. If it isn't rinsed out completely, it will not cause problems. A tip: When introducing a new dog, wash them all so they smell the same. The new guy blends in much quicker, and most of my new ones need a bath anyhow, since they came from the pound.
"Long Time Friend"
I have been using Silk Creme Rinse since the 1980s. It has bee a long time friend of mine. It conditions the coat, makes it easier for comb outs, and has a light, cool fragrance that after over 30 years, I still enjoy. Any product that has been around that long, deserves your attention.

Calibre® OPCverify™
Current low k1 photolithography processes are increasing the complexity of resolution enhancement technology (RET) applications in nanometer designs. This has resulted in higher silicon failure rates caused by mask rule constraints, fragmentation, modeling and metrology errors, and more. To reduce errors, a post-OPC verification step is needed to detect failures before a design is sent to the mask or wafer manufacturer.
Features and Benefits
- Accurate wafer contour simulation for advanced process conditions, including immersion litho
- Supports a variety of OPC usage models, including OPC recipe verification, mask sign-off, litho-friendly design, VT5 and optical
- Predefined and customizable scripts for CD errors, spacing errors, bridging and pinching checks, and two-layer checks
- Easily customized and integrated into existing flows
- Calibre hierarchical polygon processing engine provides a single, accurate modeling foundation for all litho simulations
- High processing scalability assures necessary turn-around-time for mask operations
- No dedicated hardware; runs on all leading platforms

When we say Free-to-Play most of you think of throw-away browser games like QWOP, Canabalt or One Button Bob; or money-grabbing Facebook titles like Farmville. And there is, admittedly, a lot of free clag out there. However, Free-to-Play has come on leaps and bounds in 2012 - free games are pushing close to AAA standards in some cases, and there are loads of 'full games' you can play in your browser - or via a reasonably small download - for little or no investment.
So, with money tight around Christmas, and with the economy flatter than month-old Tizer, here's our guide to the 30 of the best free games available right now. 10 of them require a download, 10 of them are playable in your browser, and 10 are free for mobile phones and tablets. Have we missed your favourite? Share it in the comments.
1-5 - Full games
1. Planetside 2
What is it? MMO first-person shooter
Link: Planetside2.eu
Part MMO, part FPS, all awesome - Planetside 2 is the standard all new Free-to-Play games will need to meet. It takes the Team Fortress 2 approach of giving players the whole game for free, then charging for quicker unlocks or more specialist kit. Not better kit - just different. Crucially, this means you can get stuck in and really find your feet in the game without feeling like a second-class citizen, and chances are you'll want to spend a bit of cash after that to make your experience truly unique. The only real problem is that the barrier to entry is high. The war here is vast and intimidating, so our advice is to take a few friends with you. It won't cost them a thing either...
2. Hawken
What is it? Mech shooter
Link: PlayHawken.com
When you think 'mech shooter' the first words that spring to mind are 'lumbering' and / or 'slow'. Hawken changes that, by offering the customisation and versatility of walking tanks and combining them with the pace of a proper PC shooter. It's lead many people to dub the game 'Walking World of Tanks'. That's definitely a compliment, by the way. It's in open Beta now, and there's plenty of game to play through before you need to spend a penny.
3. Star Wars: The Old Republic
What is it? Sci-fi RPG
Link: Swtor.com
This online RPG - which cost millions to make - was subscription-based for a year. However, following a relatively underwhelming number of sign-ups, it's now free. Well, to an extent. To get the full experience (which includes modern marvels like the 'sprint' ability) you need to pay, but crucially the story missions can be tackled for nothing. This isn't the totally free fix you're looking for, but as a low-investment entry into a massive, involving MMO that you'll probably enjoy... it's a bargain.
4. League of Legends
What is it? Arena battler
Link: LeagueofLegends.com
It's the biggest game in the world, so you've probably heard of it. It's also hugely competitive, and very strategic, attracting pro-gamers from all around the world. What that means for new comers is a huge amount of choice (there are currently 107 champions to choose from) and an intimidating array of options. Still, with so many players, there are always people to compete against at any skill level, so you can ease in gently. Ish.
5. World of Tanks
What is it? Multiplayer vehicle combat
Link: Worldoftanks.eu
WOT succeeds because it's simple. Pick a vehicle, join a team, rumble into some standard deathmatch modes. The more you win, the more you can upgrade your machine. This is basically Pimp My Ride, only with huge mechanised vehicles that can destroy small towns. And, of course, you can always spend money to get better parts and accessories quicker, or access different types of tanks.

5 Guitarist Recommends itdavthom | 19/04/2008 | See all davthom's reviews (2)Top 10 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer I recently purchased this Powerball after reading the Reviews on this site. A lot of people commented on how well it works the muscles in your arms. Particularly the forearms.I am a guitarist in a Thrash Metal band which for those of you unfamiliar with the genre it requires extremely Strong forarm muscles in the picking hand to play fast for long periods of time and it also requires powerful wrist and fingers in the left hand for the fast solos.So i purchased one of these powerballs to out of cuiosity to see how it would work my muscles.Its great it builds to an incredible intensity which challenges both my forearms and as it gets faster my fingers to hold onto it.i think its a must have gadget for musicians Particularly Guitarists and Drummers because of the strength required in the Forearms.You can also increase the force on your fingers by holding it just between your fingers and not on your palmIv Definately felt an improvement in my stamina and Dexterity in the short time i have had this product
5 Best Powerball for speedCASgamer398 | 29/02/2008 | See all CASgamer398's reviews (89)Top 100 Mobile Reviewer Top 10 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer After trying a friends classic I knew I had to get one and it had to be one with a counter.The Pro's are the ones to go for. The Pro models all have counters and Neons have added led's which which slows the Ball down by about 200-300rpm. So far that reason this is the best one to go for unless you want some cool lights like I did. I still recommend one of these for you getting your best scores and keep others for practice.It doesn't take long to get it going and get a feel for it, only took me a few tries. It's perfecting your technique that will take a while. When I first used the classic It almost gave me little blisters and you will get them with Powerballs, but I think the grip on this is better as I haven't felt it rubbing on my fingers as badly. Might just be me though. Yo will probably have to give yourself a days rest from Powerballing to let your muscles recover and keep your hands blister free.The digital counter is a must have. It has different functions and can store your top score. If you don't beat your high score it will just clear the lower scores anyone gets. It can be reset at the touch of a button. the counter will switch itself off after 40 seconds of inactivity, prolonging the battery life, which shouldn't need changing in a long time. You can also measure your rpm's over set times of 30, 60 and 90 second intervals + more.Get one of these balls now, better still get two for dual Powerballing. Get recoring videos of your runs and become part of the Powerball community. Great fun and exercise from a revolutionary product. Get yourself a leather pouch as well to keep it in good nick, you get two starter cords included. The Pro's are the way to go.
5 Well worth the moneySc0oter | 05/10/2007 | See all Sc0oter's reviews (7)Top 100 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer I had been mulling over getting one of these for ages. I had a bad wrist injury about 6 years ago and since then I have had weakness in my wrist/arm. I had all the usuall treatments from physio but mostly boring exercises was the end result and because of my job it was hard to get in any regular excercise.Now with the powerball it takes the boredom out of excersising. I can definately feel it working my wrist in all the same places as the exercises the physio gave me but with the bonus of my arms also getting a bit of a workout as well.That coupled with the fact I can do this at work makes this ideal for me and by far one of the best products I have bought in years. Only thing is its going to take a while to build up the rythem in my left hand as I am all over the place and find it hard to keep it going but it is getting there.BTW. If you are looking for replacement start cords try a shoe shop. The laces on my daughters shoes are identical to the cords with the exception you may have to cut the small plastic sheeth at the end down to the same length. I bought myself 10 pairs for £1.50 so now have 20 replacement cords (and they do work).
5 Very niceDanielwins | 19/09/2008 | See all Danielwins's reviews (1)Top 100 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer I have to say, at first I thought these were a bit silly and not really worth the money. But after a friend brought one and I got the hang of it (which didn't take long) I wanted one!These things a very addictive, and fun to play with as a desk toy. How ever on the day I got mine I must have been using it for about 3 or 4 hours and the next day I had trouble typing because of the pain in my wrists. Be warned this device is addictive, maybe too addictive!Though it is nice to just play with in between typing, of which I do a lot. Its also great for climbers, because it really helps build grip, and gives you the advantage of more "contact" strengh on the rock.
5 brilliant giftsmurfet11 | 03/11/2008 | See all smurfet11's reviews (4)I bought this item for my boyfriend, he uses it every couple of days and has really enjoyed using it and he has seen an improvment in his forearm strenght. This is with out a doubt a brilliant gift for someone they are not only usefull but they are fun too. The digital display is really usefull and we had no problems with this item at all. He loved his present and was really pleased with it.

Faraday Adopts Mentor Graphics Eldo as their Internal SPICE Simulator
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Jan. 10, 2006 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) and Faraday Technology Corporation (TAIEX: 3035) today jointly announced that Faraday has adopted the Mentor Graphics Eldo® simulation tool as their internal SPICE simulator for cell library and IP characterization. Eldo is used in lieu of other SPICE tools for improving the convergence rate from 60% to 100% and reducing the characterization time.
"IP characterization needs a verification tool that provides a high level of accuracy, efficiency, and ability to handle complex designs and characterization methodologies," said Kun-Cheng Wu, director of design development at Faraday Technology. "We have been very impressed by the powerful performance and results of Eldo for our designs."
"We are extremely pleased to be working closely with Faraday, the leading IP provider in Taiwan.

Restart of construction beginning in mid-February 2010
The Supervisory Board today approved a budget of 830 million for the terminal expansion VIE-Skylink, based on a request by the Management Board. This amount includes provisions for risk as well as reserves and the possible commissioning of a general contractor. The goals are to complete the project at a lower cost and adhere to the time schedule.
The last investment budget for the Skylink totalled 657 million and reflected adaptations to the project that resulted from increased requirements by municipal authorities, the optimisation of the retail and gastronomy concept, the necessary redesign of the project organisation and price increases. After it became apparent in spring 2009 that the costs would exceed this framework, a number of consequences were drawn: The project was reorganised with a leaner structure under the direction of Norbert Steiner. Construction was interrupted at the end of June 2009 and all contracts were cancelled to permit the preparation of coordinated planning documents, conclude new contracts and implement further measures to minimise costs.
Contract negotiations proceeding successfully
In the meantime, the contract negotiations between Flughafen Wien AG and the involved firms as well as the tenders for the continuation of construction on the terminal expansion VIE-Skylink have brought successful results. The major contracts have been concluded, and a tender was started to select a contractor to direct the interior construction. Tenders for project management and local construction oversight were also carried out and will be completed shortly.
Court proceedings for the preservation of evidence are currently in progress at the request of Flughafen Wien AG, and are intended to measure the status of the work performed to date and identify any defects. This will form the basis for possible damage claims against third parties in the future.
Tender for general contractor should be completed by the third quarter of 2010
The tender to select a general contractor will be started in the near future and should be completed by the third quarter of 2010. The decision to award this contract will be based on the economic benefits for Flughafen Wien AG. The time schedule for the Skylink project will not be affected by this decision, and construction should resume - as planned - beginning in mid-February 2010. The general contractor would be in charge of construction up to the point of transfer and would also be responsible for the management of all additional construction up to the completion of the project and start of operations. Operations in the terminal expansion VIE-Skylink are planned to start during the first half of 2012.

Offset Cheese Knife Vecchio - Olive Wood
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
City / Village: Scarperia
This was the first Saladini cheese knife we fell in love with. It is a classic design that works with a variety of cheese styles. The design is sturdy enough to work with hard cheeses, but the blade is thin enough to work with softer cheeses. The olive wood handle is offset to avoid pressing your knuckles into the surface of the cutting board. If we were to choose just one all-around cheese knife, this would be it!

Monster sound system installed at the new home of
the "Monsters of the Midway"
CHICAGO, IL USA - February 2004 -- Soldier Field, the home of Chicago's storied NFL football team the Chicago Bears, recently reopened after undergoing a massive renovation. The venerable old stadium, originally opened in 1924, had been the home field of the oldest team in the league for over 30 years. Though incremental refurbishments over the years extended the life of the facility, the team needed a new stadium on a par with other new facilities being built for NFL teams. After considering several options for location, the city of Chicago determined it wanted to keep the team in the heart of the city and launched a project to renovate the existing facility as part of a larger Lakefront Improvement Plan for the immediate area. The high-tech outdoor stadium design retains much of the old architectural charm that distinguished it through the years, yet incorporates modern stadium design elements intended to position it as a world-class sporting venue. Key among those elements is the high-performance audio system. The system had to meet the performance goals set forth early in the planning stages for the stadium while accommodating the architect's aesthetic concerns. This meant, in part, creating many custom loudspeaker enclosures. It was immediately apparent to the capacity crowd during pre-game opening festivities that the total experience of attending a Bears home game from now on will include rocking, high-energy sound.
The design and consulting firm Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc.(WJHW) of Dallas provided system design, with Kevin Day of WJHW providing sound system design and Jack Wrightson handling project management duties. System installation was completed by SPL Integrated Solutions (SPL), with Don Alberg serving as Project Engineer based in Baltimore, and LD Parker as Site Engineer / Superintendent, Skip Warrington as Project Manager, and Jim Mascenic as Site Manager, based out of SPL Chicago.
One of the equipment rooms with Crown CTs amplifiers.
Soundweb units by BSS Audio also shown.
The game announcer uses a Crown CM-311AHS headset microphone, with Crown's patented Differoid noise-canceling response. This version of the CM-311A is designed to be mounted on headphones for broadcaster use. The mic signal is fed to a Soundcraft K2 console, then to a dbx 160A compressor. SoundwebT products by BSS Audio are used for signal distribution and processing. The hybrid point-source / distributed loudspeaker design for the facility implements three huge clusters, positioned along the top of the west end of the seating bowl, firing across the field to the other side. To provide a sense of scale, a set of 4 JBL Vertec 4889s are used as the near fill system. JBL Control Contractor series loudspeakers are used for distributed sound in ancillary zones and JBL custom speakers were designed for under-balcony. 178 CTs Series two-channel amplifiers fitted with IQ-PIP-USP3 modules power the entire stadium, ranging from the suites to the main clusters. The IQ-PIP-USP3 modules add an enormous amount of signal processing, control, and metering to the CTs amplifiers in addition to advanced error reporting and load monitoring capabilities.
Two of three main loudspeaker clusters atop the stadium
The amplifiers were installed into seven different rack rooms with two dedicated to the clusters. A Fast Ethernet network was installed with Fiber optic cable for transporting the IQ Network communications between rack rooms and central control. Once the hardware was installed in the racks and the cable-plant was in place, making system connections was as simple as clicking a single RJ-45 connector into each component. This allowed the installation to be completed in a short time, and with very little difficulty.
The Soldier Field IQ Network actively monitors the operation of the system, and detects potential problems before they have the opportunity to evolve into real ones. For instance, if a particular amplifier channel or loudspeaker driver starts to operate outside of a specified tolerance range, the computer will immediately display an error message alerting the tech staff of the anomaly. In providing an "early warning," potential problems can very likely be resolved prior to triggering customer complaints or, worse yet, catastrophic and costly damage to audio equipment. Bradford Benn, US Business Development Manager for Installed Sound at Crown commented about the IQ Network, "The fact that our IQ Network works on common Ethernet networking technology was a real benefit for this project. When it was time for SPL to do the installation, they didn't have to worry about a lot of special considerations to make the network function. Common networking design and practice is all that is required to get up and running."

I want to begin by saying how much I like and appreciate John Piper and how difficult it is, then, for me to write this post. Although I do not know John well, I was greatly helped by his fatherly advice when I was involved in the debate over Openness Theology (or Free-will Theism) in the Baptist General Conference some years ago. He offered perspective, wisdom, and even some needed confrontation of me on a few points. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and ministry while at the same time caught up in a denominational debate I would rather not have been a part of, and John was a helpful guide for a young and troubled pastor. I don't know if he would even remember me now, but I will always be grateful for the time he took to offer some much needed guidance and concern.
Anyway, I have prayed about whether or not I should write this post, and I have thought about it off and on for most of the day today, but I just couldn't avoid weighing in on one recent matter that has surprised, perplexed, and disappointed me with regard to John's judgment. It has to do with his questionable discernment regarding Doug Wilson as an adherent of Federal Vision theology. I was, in fact, quite surprised when I recently found out that John Piper and the Desiring God ministry had chosen to ask Doug Wilson to speak at the upcoming Desiring God Conference in September. I heard about it from George Drye, a fellow elder at Immanuel, who was more than a little concerned about it, especially since he and I have had to confront some Federal Vision issues in our own congregation. As for John's reasoning in deciding to include Wilson in this year's conference, here is the video explanation that was posted at the Desiring God website (but has apparently since been taken down):
Clearly John believes that Wilson himself "gets the Gospel right." But I have some real doubts about this, especially, as I have already noted, given Wilson's adherence to Federal Vision theology.
I first found out about this aberrant theology when I attended a 2002 (or 3?) pastors' conference at Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, Louisiana. I was invited to go – and in fact driven there – by a man who attended our church at the time, but who had previously been a member at Auburn Avenue. Doug Wilson was one of the primary speakers at that conference, and that is where I first discovered who he is.
Frankly, I was shocked at some of what I heard coming from a PCA church (or at least what was a PCA church at the time, because they have since left that denomination, no doubt due in part to the PCA's rejection of Federal Vision theology as unacceptable). For example, I heard men espousing baptismal regeneration and asserting that those who have been properly baptized are saved thereby and possess all the saving benefits of Christ. They also said that such saved persons can apostatize and reject the Christian faith and no longer possess the saving benefits of Christ. But then, out of the other sides of their mouths, they claimed to hold to the Westminster Confession of Faith in its teaching on the perseverance of the saints.
When I had lunch with Doug Wilson and asked him how he could say such things and still claim to hold to the Westminster Confession's position on the perseverance of the saints, he told me that there is a difference between those who are elect and those we must regard as saved from our point of view. When I asked follow-up questions, such as whether or not regarding one as saved meant also regarding them as elect, I just got a lot of what I considered to be double-speak in response. Needless to say, I never went to another pastors' conference at Auburn, and I left with a decidedly negative view of Wilson's theology, however likable I found him to be on a personal level.
But I am disturbed by the fact that John doesn't seem to see this double-speak for what it is. As the following video demonstrates, he appears instead to be enamored by Wilson and therefore misses what are obvious and unbiblical inconsistencies in Wilson's position.
Notice how John speaks of Wilson as being "very complicated" for saying completely illogical and truth-distorting things. How, after all, can one speak logically – let alone Biblically – about an "unregenerate elect" person, or an "unregenerate regenerate" person as Piper agrees that Wilson does? This is not saying the same thing as one would say who agrees that there may be professing Christians who turn out to be unsaved in the end, as John assumes. It is speaking in a very confusing way about fundamentally important matters, but John prefers to call it "very complicated" instead, while he reminds us how "bright" Wilson is. And then he goes on to talk about how Wilson "gets a bad wrap from a lotta PCA guys who aren't careful in the way they think."
This just reminded me of how sick I have become of the Federal Vision guys constantly complaining about how "misunderstood" they have been and blaming everyone else for misrepresenting them when the real problem is their constant redefinition of historical theological terms and categories while at the same time claiming to believe in the historical meaning of those same terms. I don't think they are being misunderstood at all. I think they are being called on the fact that they are deliberately playing all kinds of language games. And even if they are being misunderstood, who's fault is that!? Isn't it their own fault? I mean, how can the rest of us be blamed for thinking that the laws of logic should still apply to theological discussion?
Anyway, I am surprised at and disappointed in Piper's not seeing the problem and calling Wilson on these kinds of things. After having met Wilson and spoken with him for a while – as I indicated above – I can testify as to how charismatic and winsome he is. After speaking with him, you kind of want to agree with him just because you like him. And he is just as bright as John says he is, which is why it is so hard not to hold him accountable for his strange and inconsistent assertions about key doctrines. Could it be that Piper has been won over by the strong and engaging personality of Wilson? It sort of looks that way to me, even if he has "only met him once."
As for the dangers of Federal Vision theology, here is what New Horizons, the magazine of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, has to say in an article entitled Understanding the Federal Vision:
Twenty errors that are held by one or more advocates of the Federal Vision are listed in the conclusion of the report of the OPC's Committee to Study the Doctrine of Justification:1. Pitting Scripture and Confession against each other.2. Regarding the enterprise of systematic theology as inherently rationalistic.3. A mono-covenantalism that sees one covenant, originating in the intra-Trinitarian fellowship, into which man is invited, thus flattening the concept of covenant and denying the distinction between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace.4. Election as primarily corporate and eclipsed by covenant.5. Seeing covenant as only conditional.6. A denial of the covenant of works and of the fact that Adam was in a relationship with God that was legal as well as filial.7. A denial of a covenant of grace distinct from the covenant of works.8. A denial that the law given in Eden is the same as that more fully published at Mt. Sinai and that it requires perfect obedience.9. Viewing righteousness as relational, not moral.10. A failure to make clear the difference between our faith and Christ's.11. A denial of the imputation of the active obedience of Christ in our justification.12. Defining justification exclusively as the forgiveness of sins.13. The reduction of justification to Gentile inclusion.14. Including works (by use of "faithfulness," "obedience," etc.) in the very definition of faith.15. Failing to affirm an infallible perseverance and the indefectibility of grace.16. Teaching baptismal regeneration.17. Denying the validity of the concept of the invisible church.18. An overly objectified sacramental efficacy that downplays the need for faith
and that tends toward an ex opere operato [automatically effective] view of the
sacraments.19. Teaching paedocommunion.20. Ecclesiology that eclipses and swallows up soteriology.
No wonder R. Scott Clark, Professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Westminster Seminary California, has issued A Gentle Rebuke to Brother John for the remarks he made in the above video. Clark does see the Gospel as being corrupted by Wilson and other Federal Vision advocates, as a number of the above listed issues demonstrate. Of course, Wilson may not hold to every aberrant position as listed or stated here, but he does hold to enough of them to warrant genuine concern that the Gospel is being at best distorted and confused by him. Given such issues, I am glad that John at least says that he is "worried" and "concerned" about the "trajectory" of the views Wilson holds. I just wish this concern had led to his steering clear of Wilson rather than essentially endorsing him by involving him in the Desiring God Conference.
Update 27 June 2009
Last night I listened to all three hours of the "grilling" John referred to of Doug Wilson by the CREC presbytery. After listening to the exchanges, I can understand a little better why John doesn't see Wilson as being quite as dangerous in his adherence to Federal Vision theology as so many in Presbyterian circles do. Wilson is quite a bit more measured and careful in his statements to the presbytery than he has been at other times and in other venues. It is a bit easier to see how John can say that Wilson is wrong, "but wrong in the way that you would expect a Presbyterian to be wrong." To be sure, even in the exchange with his presbytery, Wilson said some things that I find quite disturbing, but he did avoid some of the more extreme kinds of things I have personally heard him say before or that I have seen written in documents such as the 2007 A Joint federal Vision Statement.
So, the problem here may be that John simply has limited knowledge of Wilson's actions and assertions, and rather than listening closely to what those who have had to deal head on with the problems of Federal Vision theology in their own churches have to say, John just asserts that Wilson "gets a bad wrap from a lotta PCA guys who aren't careful in the way they think."
I am disturbed by this the more I think about it, because John simply dismisses the collective judgment of many of those who may know Wilson and his crowd best. Again, as I noted previously in this post, I know that Wilson and others in the Federal Vision camp frequently like to claim that they are being misunderstood, and John may believe this claim with respect to Wilson. But I still assert that they aren't being so misunderstood at all; they are just being challenged for – at the very least – speaking of important doctrines in such a way as to distort their meaning. But, again, even if they are at times being misunderstood, I think it is almost entirely their own fault for speaking in consistently equivocal ways.
So, again, after listening to the whole exchange between Wilson and the CREC presbytery as John suggested, I am still no more certain as to what Wilson really believes about some things, because I don't think he has been consistent in what he has said on various occasions. Could it be that Wilson has backed off of some things or corrected his views at some points? Perhaps, but I would like to see clear evidence of that before being convinced, and I still think it is a very bad idea for John and the Desiring God ministry to invite him to their conference.
But this leads me to another matter, which is why John feels it necessary to include such a controversial figure as Doug Wilson in the first place. I mean, aren't there a number of much less controversial figures who could have spoken at the conference on the topic of "The Sacred Script in the Theater of God: Calvin, the Bible, and the Western World"? In fact, aren't there some even better choices regardless of whether or not Wilson is a controversial figure? What about a guy like R.C. Sproul? Or Michael Horton? Or Robert Peterson? If he wants a Presbyterian to talk on this subject, surely there are many others he could have looked to.
Update 1 November 2009
I thought it only fair that I include yet another video by John Piper in which he seeks to explain himself further with regard to his inclusion of Doug Wilson in the Desiring God Conference back in September. I do not doubt John's sincerity, of course, but I am still a bit disturbed when he describes Wilson as "really consistent and really clear" and then also admits that Wilson uses language "that causes a lot of trouble for people" because it describes people as Christians who are not Christians, who are elect but going to hell, etc. This just doesn't seem either consistent or clear to me, nor to many others who have judged Federal Vision theology a danger to the faith, in part precisely because of such lack of clarity on crucial doctrines.
Anyway, I thought the many people who have been reading this post would appreciate hearing John explain himself further. I also want to reiterate that I have great respect for John even when I disagree with him, as I do on this issue.

text: Most home metal-casters use traditional green-sand molding techniques to cast parts. Typically, a two-part molding flask is packed with specially-treated sand around a pattern, then the flask is carefully opened, the pattern removed, and the flask reassembled, being careful not to disturb the sand impressions, leaving a negative space in the exact shape of the original. In lost-foam casting, however, the pattern does not have to be removed before pouring in the molten metal; rather, the hot melt simply vaporizes the foam as it flows in, and replaces it. This process has a number of advantages to recommend it over the traditional technique. It does not require a two-part flask, and can be performed in a simple metal bucket. Nor does it require special sand, or special techniques for handling it. Dave Kush has a great overview on his site. Among other things, Dave uses the lost-foam process to cast homemade linear bearings for his CNC equipment.
