5 A great game, cruelly treated by the distributorsRLacey | 18/07/2007 | See all RLacey's reviews (1)Psychonauts is something special. Despite being a fairly average platformer at times (in terms of gameplay), the hilarious writing, meticulous attention to detail and intriguing plot will have you hooked. Sadly, Psychonauts suffered as far as distribution was concerned - it spent the best part of a year in limbo, before finally being pushed out the door in the UK by THQ - and it was never a huge commercial success. You owe it to yourself, though, to play one of the funniest, most intelligent, most creative, beautiful games that the last couple of years has produced.
5 A hidden treasure you just have to discover for youselfSteveWilds | 01/09/2007 | See all SteveWilds's reviews (2)What a great game! Great characters, great gameplay, a wacky, wacky world full of subtle detail and clever ideas. Created by Tim Schafer, the man behind Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle, Psychonauts deserves to be a classic but, alas, it seems to be doomed to obscurity.If you fancy an accessible 3d platformer with a ton of personality and loads of laughs along the way buy this, it's got all of that and more. It is 2 years old now but the graphics are perfectly executed with design that more than makes up for their age.The story blends seamlessly with the gameplay, so much so that you often feel like you're playing a Pixar movie, complete with the same quality of characters, action and storyline that you'd expect in one.A marvellous, fantastic, wonderful game that you won't regret buying at any price, let alone the fiver Play are asking. Five thumbs up, way up!
5 For those who like new concepts.ShowMeTheMonkey | 18/12/2007 | See all ShowMeTheMonkey's reviews (10)I love the way Tim Schafers mind thinks!Extremely engaging story, with beautifuly scripted dialogue and scenes.Personaly I was facinated with the scenery and the concept of what you are playing. Entering the minds of other people and seeing how they thing is amazing to playthough.A true diamond waiting to be discovered!
5 A game the likes of which is rarely seenGamingManiac | 31/05/2009 | See all GamingManiac's reviews (1)This game is awesome. That should be pointed out straight away.Did you like Monkey Island(s) and are sad games as good are not made any more? Do you hate it when you buy a game and the story makes you feel your 8yr son could write better? Or that what all that hype wasn't telling you was that the game is riddled with bugs?Forget all that, Psychonauts answers all those problems. The story is engaging, the storyline is intriguing and executed with near perfection, the concept of the game feels fresh and interesting and I can't in any honesty mock the gameplay mechanics. Only a slight minus for sounds: The music is fitting and enhances the mood greatly and the sound effects are by no mean bad, but sometimes you just get the feel that they gave only 90% instead of the 110% they gave for everything else; sometimes it's the actual quality of the soundtrack, sometimes the voices fail to fit the character perfectly. But don't get me wrong, that's mostly nitpicking. Honestly.This game will most likely be the best game of the year and yet stay as one of the most unnotable. A shame that, because this is the long-awaited game that goes the extra mile from good to excellent. Unless you're a die-hard FPS-only fan or honestly think that World of Warcraft is the end-all be-all game, try out this gem in the rough. You won't be disappointed.
4 The insanity makes this greatShikyo | 22/04/2009 | See all Shikyo's reviews (2)The story is simple and insane but that is what makes this game so good. The moment you start the game you will be hooked inside the world of Psychonauts. The main character is a little boy, Raz, who wants to become a Psychonaut. The problem is that his parents are totally against it and he sneak himself to the summer camp this gives him only few days time to become a Psychonaut.I'm totally in love with the story of this game, the characters are just great. But when I first started playing I had trouble with the controls. The mouse movement is very awkward and slow. It does not response to ones movements exactly and smooth. The problem was easily solved with using a game pad, though. This game is really meant to be played with a game pad and not with keyboard and mouse.Graphic looks nice and it stays smooth through out the whole game. I experience no lag at all in this game. The slight comic kind of graphic fits this game perfectly, though it is not something everyone likes. This game would not be the same without graphics like this.I can only recommend this to anyone who likes some easy adventure with a great story.

As a child, I was an avid reader of Asterix and Obelix comics and there are a couple of images from the series that made an indelible mark. One was of Obelix furious and red in the face (I was always a little partial to Obelix) after Dogmatix had somehow been threatened. Another was of some poor, pathetic Roman who keeps losing his piece of bread in a large cauldron full of fondue. As the comic progressed (I think it must have been the one where Asterix and Obelix are in Switzerland), the cheese stretches all over the room and all over the partakers of the meal. That was my first image of fondue – it seemed fun, crazy and probably amazingly delicious. (more…)

Articles, catalogues, databases and bibliographies concerning aspects of the recorder worldwide. An ideal springboard for players, students, teachers, makers and researchers alike.
About the Webmaster
Nicholas S. Lander
My interest in music of the distant past has centred largely on the recorder, though I have played a number of renaissance wind instruments as well as the trombone. In the past I have taught recorder at several tertiary institutions. Occasionally I teach private students who have exhausted other local resources.
The Word on the Street
Behold a remarkable demonstration, never suspected by the inventor, from which it will become clear how vast secrets often lie hidden in common objects. Yet the eyes of the multitude, viewing things superficially rather than radically, will never see through to their reason and foundation.
But all her singing was in vain
To be compared, in sothness [truth],
Unto the excellent sweetness
Of this Floyte melodious,
By force of which Mercurius
Made Argus slepe. -
The recorder of his kynde the meane dothe desyre
Manifolde fyngerynge & stoppes bryngithe hy from his tunes clere.
Who lyst to handill an instrument so goode
Must se in his many fyngerynge that he kepe tyme stop and moode. -
[Bilney, who gave his life at the stake for his opinions] could abide no swaring nor singing … and when Dr Thurlby, afterwards bishop, the scholar living in the chamber underneath him [at Trinity Hall, Cambridge] would play upon his recorder (as he would often do) he would resort strait to his prayer.
.. and thinke it not a smalle thinge to have lerned to playe on the pype or the recorder.
In a little room, a little plot, a little lifetime,
Hark, the shrill recorders after meat: the Elizabethan
Mayflies in a sliver web which dangled over chaos,
Twirling round and round,
Waited for the silent headsman, countering his silence
With arabesques of sound. -
I still can't imagine a father who is happy when his daughter comes home with a recorder player …
A merrie recorder of London mistaking the name of one Pepper, call'd him Piper: wherunto the partie excepting, and saying: Sir, you mistake, my name is Pepper, not Piper; hee answered: why, what difference is there (I pray thee) between Piper in Latin and Pepper in English; is it not all one? No, Sir, (reply'd the other) there is even as much difference betweene them, as is between a pipe and a recorder.
Cymbals, Pipes, and filthy songs are the very pomps and hodgpotch of the Devil. If a stage player, be it a man or woman, a Chariotor, gladiator, race-runner, a fencer, a practiser of the Olympian games, a fluteplayer, a fidler, a harper, a dancer, an alehouse-keeper, come to turne Christian; either let him give over these professions, or else be rejected.
And to come nearer to our own times, it may be remembered by many now living, that a flute was the pocket companion of many who wished to be thought fine gentlemen. The use of it was to entertain ladies, and such as had a liking for no better music than a song-tune, or such little airs as were then composed for that instrument; and he that could play a solo of Schickhard of Hamburg, or Robert Valentine of Rome, was held a complete master of the instrument. A description of the mutual compliments that attended a request to one of these accomplished gentlemen to perform, or a recital of the forms of entreaty or excuse, with a relation of the apologies, the bows, the congees that passed upon such an occasion, might furnish matter for a diverting scene in a comedy.

While other companies like Amazon now have lowered prices on their models with more memory, Apple continues to go with a $100 premium. What's the gross margin on that? How about 93%. Yes, that's right Apple is selling you a gigabyte of additional memory for $6.25, while it buys it for merely $0.42.

WOW - Way better than expected - XLNT daily juicer,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
I juice at least once a day as I primarily eat raw foods.
My Jack LaLane juicer finally wore out after 2.5 years of daily use. I was tempted to buy another - but I liked the way everything including the pulp catcher is all in one unit. So glad I got the Breville. This thing is POWERFUL, especially compared to "Jack LaLanne". It is so powerful I usually don't even use the pusher except to cover the top so your ceiling doesn't get covered with stuff. Other reviewers have mentioned that tendency. What wasn't mentioned is that the reason it does that is because the motor is so beefy that stuff will shoot straight up. When juicing soft stuff I immediately cover the top with my hand. The design of this thing is absolutely first rate. Even down to the plug, which has a moulded loop so that it is easy to unplug and plug in! No tool is required to remove the basket, as in most other juicers. Breville uses a combo of ingenious design and magnets to hold it in place! Ease of use and fit and finish is perfect. Clean up is really a 2 minute operation and I don't even own a dishwasher. It will stain eventually, as every juicer I have ever owned does. Carrot juice would make a great dye :-) The pulp on this juicer is a bit wetter than the Jack LaLanne. The "Jack" had a much larger basket and a much slower rotation. I believe that may account for it. But it isn't much wetter - just very slightly. This juicer makes much smaller pieces of pulp though - and my experience so far has been that it gets just as much juice from a pound of carrots. Bottom line - I can't imagine anyone not loving this unit. UPDATE 3/26/2011 This thing is still going strong 3.5 years later. Folks I buy carrots by the 25 pound bag so I am HARD on juicers. And not one part has needed replacement!

Happy Juicing - More than 2 years later!!!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
Update Aug 2014 - Thanks for all the questions and comments on my review over the years! Yes, I am still using the original juicer! No, this is not a paid endorsement. I have not been contacted by Breville or offered any compensation. When you find a product that is built well, works well and helps you get well...it's worth writing about it! Keep reading... Update Oct 2013 - I'm so glad I bought this juicer! Still using all the original parts, nothing is broken. I've kept the mesh filter basket clean and it works great, but it is puckering at the top edge of the basket, between the spots where it's welded to the basket frame. It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the juicer, but it requires more diligent cleaning. I have a new tip today about juicing spinach leaves. Stack spinach leaves about 2-3" tall and place on a large kale leaf. Wrap the kale leaf around the spinach and stuff into the feed chute. Slowly push the kale/spinach "package" down the chute. Small spinach leaves won't fly out the food chute or end up whole in the pulp collection bin. This works great with collard greens too! Update Apr 2013 - Still juicing! I make about a quart of green juice a day. The shredding disc and steel mesh were showing signs of staining and minor clogging. The residue wouldn't come off with hand-washing, so I decided to try some serious cleansing using a spray-on oven cleaner. Bingo! All the residue came off easily, opening all the clogged mesh holes and rejuvenating the shredding disc. None of the original parts have broken or cracked. I remain very satisfied with this juicer. Update Dec 2012 - The Breville Compact Juice Fountain works like new after 11 months of daily use! There have been no issues with the motor. The plastic parts have held up well but are veggie-stained. The shredding disc isn't as sharp as it was on Day 1, but it still works great. When the time comes, Breville sells replacement parts online. Update June 2012 - Still using the Breville twice daily and it continues to work well. No broken parts. Original Review: Prior to purchasing the Breville Compact Juice Fountain, I researched other models and selected the Breville for its features and excellent customer reviews. I've been using the juicer daily since Jan 18, 2012 and continue to be satisfied with the unit. As with any centrifugal juicer, the pulp may not be "bone dry" due to the nature of the juicing process. But I'm not a purist, and any increase in my fruit & veggie intake is an improvement! PROS of this unit * The motor is powerful. The toughest veggie I've juiced is a quarter head of purple cabbage, no problem. Whole kale leaves, celery, carrots, broccoli, beets...juiced regularly without any trouble. I haven't tried juicing a sweet potato yet. *Quick and easy to clean because there are only 4 parts: the food pusher, feed chute / pulp collection lid, pulp collection container and steel micro mesh filter. See in the video how effortless the Compact Juice Fountain is to assemble. I prefer this model to my friend's juicer that has the side-mounted pulp basket. * Juice spout fits nicely into the opening of the pitcher lid. Juice doesn't splash all over the counter. * Compact size makes it easy to leave on the counter to encourage frequent, if not daily, use. The pulp collection container measures 9 inches in diameter. * Froth separator lid works well to separate the froth from the juice when pouring into a glass. Save the froth! It will liquify into more juice. * There's a handy cord wrap in the base of the unit. * Juicer cover, pulp container, filter basket and pitcher are listed as dishwasher safe. I prefer to hand-wash! Note that the inside of the juice collector (under the mesh filter basket) needs to be scrubbed well to prevent build-up. CONS of this unit * One speed means you cannot slow the shredder basket down for tough or leafy greens. I compensate by packing the chute with green and feeding it s-l-o-w-l-y. * Small slices of fruit or veggies end up unshredded in the pulp container because there is a small gap between the bottom of the food chute and the shredding blades of the filter basket. The slices are thin enough (1/16 to 1/8") to fit through the gap. See the video for actual pulp results. * The juice dispensing hole is hard to clean and gets a build-up. A small bottle brush gets some of it out. TIPS for juicing and cleaning * Rinse or clean the juicer immediately after juicing. Dried pulp is hard to clean off the mesh filter basket. * Juice slowly for better results. * Juice leafy greens first, then juicier fruits will wash the healthy green into the pitcher. * Stack spinach into compact piles, and pack into the chute. This way whole baby leaves won't end up in the pulp container. Fill the chute and allow the juicer to slowly shred the greens. Add broccoli, grapes, brussels sprouts, etc. to the food chute while there is still some spinach at the bottom...no more broccoli florets all over the kitchen =) * Nest and roll big leaves like kale and collards. You can even tuck a small piece of ginger inside for more efficient juicing. Hope this helps you make an informed decision about which juicer best fits your needs. Happy Juicing!

Best of three,
By Travis Bikel "Vulcanelli" (Bellingham, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
This is my third juicing machine. My first was a Champion which served without problems for years. On the plus side it was powerful and durable. On the down side it was rather noisy, vibrated a lot and left a lot of juice in the pulp and was hard to clean. My second juicer was the omega screw machine which I still have. I bought it because it also did wheat grass. On the plus side it is quiet and juices anything, makes nut butter and extracts a lot of juice leaving very dry pulp. On the down side it is slow and worst of all the feed tube is really small. You have to do a lot of cutting to get things small enough to get into the feed tube. I pretty much only use it for wheatgrass now. The Breville is the best juicer I have had. It is an example of good product design in that it is simple, practical and attractive. It is powerful, has a feed tube large enough to take large whole carrots, beets and small apples. It is quiet, comes apart easy and cleans up quickly. The capture pitcher which nests into the machine has a nice cover so you can store the juice for later. If making juice is a hassle you're going to put off doing it. This juicer makes juicing easy and not a hassle.

This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
When I was looking into juicers, I heard good things about Breville. Although I didn't buy one of the high-end models or brands used by true raw foodists, I feel pretty happy with my Breville Compact Juice Fountain. On the plus column, it's a nice size for two and fits under the counter. It's a breeze to assemble and disassemble, it juices quickly and easily, and cleaning is a cinch. Breville includes a brush for cleaning the juicer's mesh interior screen, and that is very handy. I clean the whole juicer as soon as I'm done, and I haven't had any problem at all getting to the machine's nooks and crannies, unlike some kitchen appliances I've had in the past. Most of the juicer is even dishwasher safe, although, I don't clean it that way most of the time. It's easy enough to do by hand, and then it's always ready for my next juice craving.
On the negative column, it's not great at juicing leafy greens. I'd looked forward to that, but this type of juicer just doesn't do a very thorough job. It seems to just immediately throw the leaves to the inside of the pulp container. Being a leafy greens fanatic, I hate to just waste leaves that could have made a marvelous meal. Luckily, outside of leafy greens, there's still plenty that it is good at juicing - fruits and vegetables like celery, bok choy, broccoli stalks, cauliflower stalks, cabbage, carrots, pears, apples, peeled citrus fruit... I like to do an 80/20 mix of vegetables to fruit. I often plan to bring extra juice with me to work for an afternoon pick-me-up but I've yet to have the restraint. I can't help but drink it immediately. The crisp and thirst quenching juice is irresistible. I can't compare the dryness of the remaining pulp to other juicers since this one is my first, but I can say that it isn't completely dry afterward. It has the feeling of mashed potatoes. I've tried running it through the machine again, but the few droplets of juice it produces come out like sludge. For the most part I like the juicer, and so I've started finding other uses for the remaining pulp. One thing I've done is make my own vegetable broth. Before adding any fruits, I juice only the vegetables. Then I remove all of the vegetable pulp from its catcher and put it into a pot with water. I bring the water to a boil and then lower it to a simmer. I let it simmer for about an hour and add in any additional herbs I like. (I often choose homey herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil.) Once it has finished cooking, I run the broth through a fine mesh sieve to catch all of the pulp. I use it in any recipes calling for broth or when I want to add more color and nutrients to my cooked grains. (Most people stay away from using green vegetables for broth because of the color, but I don't mind it.) If it's more broth than I want to have on hand, I pour it into an ice cube tray, freeze it, and then I can use just as many cubes as I need at a time. Another way I've used the pulp is by incorporating it in smoothies. After I'm done juicing, I mash the pulp into an ice cube tray and store it in the freezer. When I'm making green smoothies, I just add a few extra cubes for extra nutrition, flavor, and texture.

Beer Replaced By JUICER?????????,

This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
OK, there are a million pro juicers here who can tell you all the reasons this type of juicer is best, another million who can tell you why a SLOW juicer like the Champion Brand are best if you want leafy greens juiced. My only experience until this week was with an OLD 15 year old juicer we paid about $70.00 for that took about a grocery CART full of fruits & veggies just to get a 12 oz. glass 1/2 full!
As a result, we used it one time and set it out in the garage until I finally sold it for $20.00 last month. But I saw a Jack La Lane infomercial and came to trusty old Amazon.com to see about trying again since these NEW juicers get more juice (or DO they?). I start reading and see so many more people liking this particular brand over Jacks model so then go to YouTube sniffing around. I take A MONTH DECIDING and bought this juicer from Amazon directly. Used it for just 2 days so I have no way to tell you about how it is best or worse, how it is changing my life, or anything earth shattering. But I DO have something I CAN tell you. I don't even want a beer anymore. And I like beer. A LOT!!!! I haven't even tried any of the GREAT selection of included recipes that came included with the juicer. I just tossed in about 4 carrots, 1 small pear, 2 pieces of celery, 2 small red apples and it made over 16 ounces of juice! Blows my old mind (short trip). The weirdest thing of all to me at 60 years of age is I HATE carrots. HATE them. ANY form, hate them. Now, I can't get enough. And even weirder, I wasn't able to even eat any breakfast as I was too full. I don't remember anyone saying juice would fill me up. Usually if I had a V8 it just made me want a beer to go WITH it. So all the expert juicers can decide which brand is best, which style is best. For my recreational use and for my being able to EASILY take it apart and fully clean in 10 minutes (and I am disabled, no, NOT from the beer!), I do a very rare thing. I give this a 5 star rating. As my experience with it grows, I will update this review as required as to reliability, stamina etc. My last and only prior juicer was such a nightmare to clean AND use, got NO juice, it makes this nothing less than shocking. To have so much juice, so much GREAT flavor, almost fun to operate and clean, who knows.....I may just end up skinny & healthy. But then after today's tomato. celery & zucchini with onion experiment, I can see myself wondering what a little Vodka might do for a little added flavor? Probably lucky for me that the only alcohol I ever liked was beer...... If I get into this in a big way and discover I like leafy green stuff juiced, and find this will NOT do that well, I will find someway to go the BIG bucks for a slow turning juicer that does that type juicing best. Heck, maybe I can recycle all my old beer cans to pay for it? Can't believe it took me 60 years to find a HEALTHY way to get juiced. _______________________________________________________ 2 week update. After using this twice a day some days, once per day everyday for over a week I have problems. One, we have now ruined MORE than the cost of our juicer is clothing stains from flying juice and "pieces" no matter how careful we are. It also has the dreaded "pulp trapped inside the seam between the clear part and the grey plastic" problem. I have tried to no end to contact the manufacturer. On hold with voice mail for over 1 HOUR, then instructed to leave my phone number to have them call me back=NEVER did. Sent email=NO response. Will SADLY now request a return from Amazon on this product I first loved but now is a problem as well as a health risk. I will also buy a juicer with a warranty LONGER than just ONE year. I tried to revise my 5 star rating but Amazon does NOT allow me to do this. I would drop it to 2 stars IF I knew it was not a serious health risk due to the hassle with NO customer service in my case. If I knew for sure it IS a serious health risk, I would drop it to NO stars. But then Amazon will not let me do this either..... 1/23/2009 UPDATE: This juicer has been returned and I have now owned the new Omega 8006 for a few weeks. Did a FULL review at Epinions of it. What an amazing difference. 1 YEAR 2 week later update: The Omega Model 8006 is still being used as well as a L Equip XL Wide Mouth Mini Juicer. Still lost over 50 pounds, STILL haven't had or even wanted a beer in over a year. And both of these models are easy to clean and trap no unhealthy food particulate in any crevices etc. Tried & true good solid juicers being used daily. Mike 2 Year Update: Just sold the L Equip. Probably (well "maybe") going to sell our Omega Juicer as well. Been using a Vitamix 5200 the past few months also. I know it isn't "real" juicing since I also eat the entire product. But for quick & easy, saving 70% on the fruits & veggies, making soups etc? I just got lazy I guess? But to get an idea, go create my meal, clean up & be sitting at the table in 5 minutes? What would ANY lazy old goat like me do? Oh, and for what it's worth, it is now over 2 years without a single beer..... ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Update after almost 4 years. Never sold this juicer. Even though out Vitamix is a daily workhorse there are still times we use this for juice with NO pulp. As rare as that is, we just find it indispensable for when the mood strikes....For serious juicers, I have found a website that offers the BEST info anywhere. Even though I buy from Amazon (on a daily basis for ALL my needs) I get my best guidance on the latest products from [...] John Kohler who owns that company also has a Youtube site and recently showed an all new Omega Blender he feels will be a Vitamix killer? Well maybe not.... [...] Hope all this has helped. Vitamix just announced yet an all new model that will not require hearing protection like my 5200 does too. And the beat goes on! Mike

Great for 1 year but huge design flaw,

This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
I read all the reviews on amazon and was sold by all the positive reviews. I then started to realize that juice was leaking every time I used it right beneath the plastic bowl. No big deal so I would just wipe it off every time. I thought it was just mine but a friend had the same exact problem with there machine...roughly an ounce of juice every would leak onto the spinning mechanism. It eventually leaked through and short circuited the fuse. It tends to be a common problem with the BJE200XL model and breville hasn't been much help either if it's not under warranty. Otherwise it's not their problem. I took it to the local repair guy ($40) and he says he gets a few of these every month because there's a design flaw of some sort allowing juice to seep through and into the insides. It's a easy fix but will need repairs once in a while swapping in and out for blown fuses. Not just this model but even their higher end models. It's simple you don't put electronics underneath liquids. It's going leak sooner or later.
If your considering a breville juicer I highly recommend searching for flaws online or problems with this model to see that I'm not making this stuff up. Something where the electronics are not below the juicer like a gear juice extractor which are on the sides. I feel that all the great reviews are from people who have used it for a week or so of course it's going to work for a limited time. Take in the reviews from people who have used this for a while. There's seems to be a lot of problem with the BJE200XL and having it short circuit through extended uses. They also have poor customer service also so if it breaks you're on your own. I feel that they don't stand behind their products.

Great juicer. However, WHEN you need to replace the mesh filter, as the tiny blades eventually wear out and are easily damaged, it will cost you half of what you paid for the machine!

Very happy - feel healthier already!,
By Jessamine (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
I have not used any other juicer so I don't know how this compares to others, but I have read a lot of reviews where most complaints about juicers were about wet pulp and hard to clean up.
This thing is a complete BREEZE to clean up and actually goes in the dishwasher if you want to. I rent an older home and don't have a dishwasher so I handwash and even that is quick. I can rinse off all pieces in less than 3 minutes if that. The pulp to me feels really dry, sort of the texture of PlayDough. I don't see how much more juice could come out of it. Since this is so easy to put together, use, and clean up I am juicing every night. I am looking forward to starting a compost pile for my garden now that I am compiling a good bit of colorful pulp to add to the compost heap. I never thought I would drink a beet but I've made some great juices with beets, apples, oranges, and a little piece of ginger. It makes me feel really good to know that I'm getting my daily alottment of veggies/fruits in a tasty drink instead of eating cups and cups of veggies that I've had to prepare, cook, clean pots/pans, etc. Since it's "compact" it doesn't take up much counter space. About the size of a coffee maker. Noise isn't too bad either. My only complaint is sometimes smaller things slip over the chopping bowl (looks like metal coffee filter) such as grapes, small pieces of ginger, and some smaller pieces of fruit once it has been whittled down. It's just a small bit of waste tho, about the size of a half dollar in the case of a beet, that slips over into the pulp bin without getting juiced. With the ginger, I just open it up (after the blade stops spinning of course) and retrieve the piece and try it again. For $99, it's hard to find a 700 hp model. Most are 400 hp in this price range. So - I'm very happy with my purchase.

Juice on the loose,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
For the purposes of full disclosure, I am obliged to admit for all of my life my idea of a smoothie has been a Pepsi float. Only recently I have tired of listening to my wife's rants about my diet and decided to give her this juicer as a peace offering, so this is my first foray into any appliance with healthier living being the primary benefit, this thing doesn't even have a grease trap. What I didn't realize was how much it appeals to the juvenile side of my personality. This thing is more fun than a wood-chipper and my non-certified nutritionist/overseer approves to boot. I have stuffed every variety of fruit and vegetable I get my hands on down the chute, not because I have any interest in nutritional values but solely to get the thrill of grinding up stuff.
In comparison to our blenders, it is surprisingly quiet and gets the job done in seconds. One caveat though, be sure to use the plunger or you may find your kitchen walls decoupaged with carrot, broccoli and apple pulp, resulting in a rather pleasant fragrance for the first day or so but thereafter becomes a bear to clean off and who needs to give the overseer any motivation for another kitchen renovation. In that vein, it's probably a good idea to clean the component parts immediately after using as the filter screen is no fun once the fibers congeal and running it through the dishwasher instigates another spousal discussion about wasting depleted resources since in my opinion a full dishwasher load represents anything I need to clean at a momentary notice. As I noted, I'm not conversant on the relative benefits of this model over costlier versions, and how it differs in form or function from a masticating juicer but for someone taking tentative steps into this brave new world, I think this one has more than adequate power, is simple to use, clean and equally as important, will not drive you into depression over wasted expenditures when the thrill of the evisceration inevitably wears off. Now, if it works with M&M's...

Excellent design--one defective part promptly replaced,
By ArtTee (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor (Kitchen)
I received the BJE200XL from [...] in April 2007. Today I was drying the pulp container and noticed liquid and pulp trapped inside the seam between the clear part and the grey plastic. This seam can be seen by looking down at the pulp container from above. It is most visible around the spout, but it continues all around in a full circle. This place cannot be cleaned with the special brush provided. I don't want to be an alarmist, but a little bit of food poisoning is not a trivial matter, especially since a lot of people who juice are already sick or have weak immune systems. A few germs breeding in this trapped space and mixed with the juice could be a constant drag that is undiagnosed, rather than one big episode that sends you to the hospital. I reported the problem to the manufacture and received a prompt replacement. After almost daily use for two weeks there is no sign of the problem. I will keep checking, but it would appear at this point that this was a defective part, not a design problem. At this point we are happy with the machine and with the manufacturer's excellent customer service.
UPDATE: May 23, 2010. I just got this unit out of storage and used it a couple of times because I am fighting a systemic infection and thought I could use a boost to my diet and I am on antibiotics. Strangely, they antibiotics are not working. So I thought I should do an extra juicing this morning. In the strong morning sunlight I discovered that the pulp container has same problem as noted in the original review, plus the spout as a whole is a septic trap. This is way too risk for a perfectly healthy person, and I'm 71 and not perfectly healthy. I will be looking for an extractor that is easy and quick to clean--thoroughly. UPDATE: Oct. 10, 2012. I finally got around to sealing the problem seam on a completely unused replacement pulp container. I used a GE silicon sealant for lexan (search the web for "GE silicon sealant for lexan". I have been using it for a couple of weeks with no apparent problems. The only difficult part was taping both sides of the joint. When I first tried I used 1" masking tape. That was too difficult. Then I used the wide tape with a strip of mild adhesive on side only: the only way to go. I applied a very small bead and applied pressure and wiped the excess with my finger. (Be sure to remove the tape the same day). While I can't recommend buying this model unless they fix the seam, if you already have one and are concerned about a septic trap and do not want to discard the unit, this might work for you. Just be sure to start with an unused basket. Good luck! P.S. Here's my recipe for getting a green leafy vegetable to go down and stay if you have an aversion to the taste: 1 small bok choy leaf to 1 carrot and 1 stalk of celery. The bok choy adds some earthy zing, and it is much better tasting raw like that than any of the greens cooked--IMHO. |

Construction begins on South Lawrence Trafficway
Published on -11/13/2013, 11:18 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- A highway project linking Interstate 70 north of Lawrence with Kansas 10 east of the city has begun, nearly two decades after a portion of the road was completed.
Construction work began Tuesday on the South Lawrence Trafficway, Kansas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kim Qualls told the Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/17oWPmW).
She said she couldn't estimate when work would begin in Baker Wetlands, which has been at the center of the controversy surrounding the road. Environmentalists and Native American groups have staunchly opposed the highway's route through the wetlands.
"It is tough to predict with the weather," Qualls said. "But we will handle this like a normal project. We'll be providing updates as we move along."
Construction on the $130 million project is expected to take three years to complete. Columbia, Mo.-based Emery Sapp & Sons is the lead contractor for the project.
Work on the road has been halted since the mid-1990s when the western portion was completed. A July 2012 federal appeals court ruling cleared the way for the final six miles east of Iowa Street to be completed.
"I think it has been a long time coming, is my first thought," Lawrence Mayor Mike Dever said. "But I think the trafficway will mean even more now than it would have in the past. Moving people and moving traffic through Lawrence has become even more important as the city has grown."
The project will include construction of about 300 acres of man-made wetlands to replace roughly 55 acres of wetlands being taken for the highway. Despite that swap, trafficway opponents are not consoled.
Mike Caron, executive of Save the Wakarusa Wetlands, said several supporters of the wetlands plant to gather at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the wetlands to have a "memorial service" for them.
"I don't think there is anybody who thinks they are going to stop the roadway at this point," Caron said. "It is a tragedy, but there is not a whole lot we can do about it."

Sand Drags Race & Results - June 2, 2013
Written by Administrator Thursday, 27 June 2013 00:00
We're experiencing a typically gorgeous trade wind day today here at Kalaeloa Raceway Park. It's definitely a good day for some sunscreen and probably a good day to have an ample supply of refreshments. Thankfully the vendors are always prepared with an assortment of food and drinks to choose from, but if spectators prefer they are allowed to bring in coolers (sans alcoholic beverages which are not permitted) which is always a plus.
As I make my way from my van to the tower I hear them announce Tom Brown against Paul Giovannetti, the cars start, line up then off in a roar. Announcer for the day, Mike Kitchens, announces in excitement the reaction time of Paul's unlimited rail #556 as a .006/sec (which is very nearly perfect) and it was evidenced by a glimpse of the orange car leading the black car as they flashed between two storage containers located between me and the track. I pause for a moment, knowing the two cars might pass me in a moment as they make their ways down the return road and back to the staging lane. I had intended to give Paul a "thumbs up" for his reaction time, but his car was intercepted by his pit crew and stopped several hundred feet short of me. Tom was rumbling along the asphalt return road so I we gave each other a nod of acknowledgement and I basked for a moment in the perfume of the exhaust fumes trailing behind him.

Special considerations to keep in mind when purchasing Adhesive Transfer Gun (ATG) tape is that it is reverse wound; the release liner is on the underside of the tape when it is unwound from the roll; so it requires the use of an ATG dispenser to apply it. Also rolls are wound on a plastic core which allows them to easily snap in to an ATG dispenser.
We carry ATG dispensers from both 3M and JVCC. These dispensers or applicators are specifically designed to accept ATG refill rolls and make the application process much smoother and quicker.
So, what are ATG tapes used for? ATG tapes are used for picture framing, scrapbooking, graphic arts application, photo mounting, exhibit & POP displays, product assembly, and designing & packaging prototypes. The tapes used for this purpose have good adhesion to most plastic films, paper, and metal foils.
The ATG tapes which are used for photo mounting and scrapbooking are typically pH or acid neutral (pH 7, acid free) and are designed to not yellow over time. Examples of acid-free ATG tape include 3M Scotch 908 ATG Gold Tape and JVCC ATG-7502 ATG Tape.
ATG tape can also be used to create strong bonds with glass, wood, metals, paint, and most plastics. The 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is all-purpose transfer tape that provides great adhesion to most materials. It is therefore great for assembling promotional items and posters. 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is characterized by solvent resistance and UV resistance.
FindTape.com is a well-established and trusted distributor of ATG tape. We stock only high quality ATG tape so our customers know they can count on us to get the best products.

� The College News Volume IV. No. 3 BRYN MAWR, PA., OCTOBER 17, 1917 Price 5 Cent* MAY DAY GIVEN UP FOR MORE DIRECT WAR WORK. DEAN TAFT SPEAKS A6AINST MAY DAY "Personally, I do not feel like giYing May Day", Dean Taft said in Chapel last Thursday. Not only would the energies of the college be going into unproductive labor, Miss Taft pointed out, but into unnecessary labor, for "a nation at war must learn to give its money without expecting to be enter- tained". SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE "A pacifist has something physically wrong", said Mr. Walcott, in answer to a question from one of the audience after his lecture last Saturday. "Either the brain or the spinal column is lacking". COLLEGE REFUSES TO ABANDON MUSIC BECAUSE OF WAR YEAR Admission to be Charged at Door Music will be brought to the college as usual this year through a series of con- certs, the expenses of which are to be do- frayed, as last year, by charging admis- sion at the door. It was the wish of the Music Committee of the Undergraduate Association, ex- pressed at a recent Undergraduate meet- ing, that this method of meeting expenses should be abandoned in favor of the pledge system, used successfully in 1915- '16. Concerts given last year, R. Hart '18, Chairman of the Music Committee, pointed out, often barely^eteared ex- penses. The Association,' however, was unwilling that the college should be can- vassed for pledges and evidently pre- ferred to risk signing contracts in ad- vance of receipts. Many students voted against both methods, wishing to defeat them on war grounds. Kitty Cheatham will probably give a Christmas concert here in December and Reinhold Warlich, who sang here lesl year, is expected sometime in November. "WRITING THE ORALS� HA! HA! HA!" Seniors Sing And Cheer Before One Hour Test. Committee of Three Still Busy Correcting Papers Ten minutes of untrammeled oral sing- ing greeted the Senior French examiners last Saturday morning in Taylor before the examination. Sixty-one Seniors took the examination, which lasted an hour. To the tune of "Brighten the Corner Where You Are", the revival hymn made famous by "Billy" Sunday, 1918 set the first "written oral" song, "Writing the Orals, Ha, Ha, Ha"! which they gave for the first time Friday night in Pembroke at the oral singing. The same committee of three. Dean Maddison, Miss Donnelly, and Monsieur Beck, which made out the French exami- nation, is correcting the books. On ac- count of the time it will take for all three to go over each book, the Seniors will not hear from their French before they take BELGIUM, POLAND AND ROUMANIA MUST BE FED IF WE ARE TO DEFEAT GERMANY SAYS EXPERT Starvation Tactics of Prussianism in Belgium Traced by Mr. Walcott in Speech on U. S. Food Administration "Meat, wheat, and sweet are what our Allies must have to fight down the Prus- sian system", snid Mr. Frederic Walcott, investigator of Belgium, Serbia, and Po- land for the Rockefeller Institute, who spoke on the Prussian system and food administration at the War Relief week end last Saturday in Taylor. "The U- boats began to starve Belgium in August and she is starving still. Tuberculosis is running over the country like a prairie Are. Poland Is starved. Roumania Is starved, and unless she is fed there is grave danger that she will make a sepa- rate peace, letting the Germans into Odessa, the Black Sea and the wheat fields of Russia. "We expect Belgium to starve", said General von Bisslng, late Governor Gen- eral of Belgium, in reply to Mr. Walcott's inquiry. "Then we can force the Bel- gians into Germany to release fighting men. Some we will send to Mesopotamia, the weak and young we will push in front of a firing squad into the enemy's hands for France and Britain to care for. At the end of the war Belgium will be a German province and Antwerp ours". "This was a sincere statement from General von Blssing", said Mr. Walcott. "Denationalization is only an Incident if it helps Germany. "The grave-yard of a nation", Mr. Walcott called the old Napoleonic road by which he travelled into Poland. The Germans had asked him to Investigate Poland, fearing that the starvation there would demoralize the German troops. Along this road had passed the Polish refugees, fleeing after the retreating Russians in 1915. "I could not count the wicker baby baskets such as hang in the peasants' cottages, there were so many lying beside the road", said Mr. Walcott. "Typhus was in every single camp I visited", he said. "The refugees were crowded by tens of thousands into bar- racks that were hardly weather proof in the bitter climate. They were emaciated. Indescribably filthy, and had the hunger stare by which we have learned to know the starving." "By starvation", said Mr. Walcott, "the Germans hope to accomplish what they have tried for years to do in Poland. There they can run the gamut of cruelty. Belgium is too near Holland and the West for such treatment." "What Is good for Germany is good for the world", say the Prussians, according to Mr. Walcott. The fates of Belgium, Poland, Roumania, and Serbia are exam- ples of what is good for Germany. Latest Bulletin on War Relief Over fifteen hundred dollars in cash, checks, and pledges was col- lected for War Relief after Mr. Wal- cott's lecture last Saturday night. Denbigh leads the other halls with a total of almost $500. A reconstruction unit In France, to be supported by the alumnae and un- dergraduates, has been suggested In- stead of Y. M. C. A. huts or a Russian ambulance as an object for the fund. In any case a certain percentage of the money goes to the Main Line Chapter of the Red Cross, the greater part being kept for this main war charity not yet decided upon. Miss Anne Morgan of New York ItM offered to come and speak on the le- constructlon work of the American Fund for French Wounded some tin f late in November. � EXPELLED PROFESSOR SCORES COLUMBIA; THREATENS TO SUE Sympathy With Dr. Cattell Causes Resignation of Charles. H. Beard The Faculty and students of Columbia University have been in an uproar -for the past two weeks as a result of the ex- pulsion of Professor J. McKeen Cattell from the Chair of Psychology on the charge of "disseminating disloyal doc- trines on the war". Charles A. Beard, Professor of Political Science at the Uni- versity and author of American Govern- ment and Politics used in the politics course at Bryn Mawi. has resigned from the staff because of his disapproval of what he believes to be the repression of free speech among the Faculty. Professor Cattell, in a letter slurring President Butler and the trustees, wrote in part: "Whatever iqay be the opinion held of me In this period of prejudice and unreason, from which I trust we shall soon emerge, my services to �he univer- sity are a matter on record ... I made the department of psychology the strongest in the world and as head of the departments of philosophy and anthro- pology made them the strongest in America ... It would not only be common decency, but also common sense, for the trustees to pay the pension due to me . . . Otherwise, there will even- tually be unrest among the members of the Faculty; a lawsuit will bring out facts concerning the president, the trus- tees, and the university which will not be of service to them". The need is felt at Columbia of bring- ing about a closer co-operation between Faculty and trustees and so removing the objection that the latter are checking free discussion at the university. PUBLIC OPINION PUTS IAN ON FLOWERS College War Relief in "Quarterly" A statement of the plane of the under- graduate War Relief Committee for the year. Including extracts from letters writ- ten by Mrs. Dike, chairman of the recon- struction work of the American Fund for French Wounded, will appear In the next Alumna Quarterly. Mr. Walcott, who is on the Food Ad- ministration Board, and lives with Mr. Hoover In Washington, took the audience Into his confidence, telling them of the official outlook on the war. He requested that his confidential information be not printed. Susan F. Nichols '15 has been ap- pointed English Reader for the first sem- ester and Is living with Dean Taft at Penygroes. The sending of flowers this year for "orals" or plays has been discouraged at Bryn Mawr both at the Christian Asso- ciation meeting last Friday and at differ- ent class meetings. No votes have been taken, however, as public opinion Is counted on to regulate the matter. R. Catling '19 has been chosen 1�Jsc of the Glee Club for 1917'IS. The busi- ness manager Is D. Chambers '19: the assistant business manager. L. Kellogg. NO MAY DAY THIS YEAR EVEN FOR WAR RELIEF, IS H VOTE OF UNDERGRADUATES Miss Nearing Gives Reasons For Not Having Traditional Bryn Mawr Fete * Under Present War Conditions � * � Excitement reached a fever pitch last Thursday night when the fate of May Day hung In the balance while the tellers counted a secret ballot cast by the Under- graduate Association on the motion that the festival be given this year for war relief. The announcement that the project had been voted down 251 to 56� a defeat of almost five to one�came as a complete surprise, since during the meet- ing, which lasted nearly two hours, both sides were warmly upheld. Early in the in..ling Miss Nearing '09, a former Pres- ident of Undergraduate Association, was introduced to speak from the point of view of "one who had experienced several May Days", and gave her arguments against having the fete under present conditions. V. Kneeland '18, President, asked that "patriotism" be left out of the discussion, since patriotic service was the common end of the whole Association*, the difference of opinion being merely as to the best means toward that end. May Day Incompatible with Gritted Teeth "Do we want to give May Day at all, and if so, do we want to give It under the present conditions"? was Miss Neariag's formulation of the Issue. She said In part: "Many people believe that May Day should be given up entirely, that Phila- delphia people, who make up most of the audience, are tired of It. It Is true that when Bryn Mawr began having May Day It was a unique sort of performance, whereas now something on the same or- der may be seen at almost any college in the country. Still, I believe May Day Is one of the big things In college and that no matter how much people hate It be- fore, while they are working for It, every- one loves It on the day. It has a peculiar flavor and a thrill all its own. "Granting, then, that May Day Is fine in itself, ought It to be given under the present conditions? The, first reason against it has been called a sentimental one. May Day will come Just at the be- ginning of the big spring drives, when every mall and cable will bring lists of killed and wounded. Those of you who have read books describing the first months of the war in England can im- agine what the reaction will be. I can't remember whether you are old enough to remember when the Titanic went down . . . , but if you do, you know that the reaction after such a tragedy is horrible. I can't Imagine a May Day given by people with gritted teeth. Even If It were given, the audience might be cut down one-third. . . . "Another reason which may or may not have weight with you is that practically all of the Faculty and Staff are against it . . . "The cost of the last May Day was f600�. This year it will probably be S10.000. "It seems too bad to put so much effort on something that Is non-productive. I must have spent about ninety hours In rehearsal for May Day my Freshman year, although I had only a small part- that of the lion In Pyramue and Thisbe. Innumerable hours, too. most be spent making costumes, with nothing to show (Continued on page 5, column � ik m

TSMC Validates 90nm Process Technology with Mentor Graphics Calibre xRC Test Chip Program
WILSONVILLE, Ore., January 12, 2005 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that TSMC used a comparison of Calibre{reg} xRC results, field solver data and silicon measurements as part of the validation for its 90nm process technology.
"The objective of the TSMC 90nm test chip program was to validate the stability of extraction correlation of the 90nm process using third-party vendor extraction tools such as Mentor Graphics{reg} Calibre xRC," said Edward Wan, senior director of design service product marketing at TSMC. "As a result, our mutual customers can design to our leading-edge Nexsys technology with confidence in the accuracy of parasitic extraction results."
The TSMC 90nm test chip program showed that the Calibre xRC results matched measured silicon as well as industry-standard numerical tools for parasitic resistance, inductance and capacitance (R, L and C). TSMC and Mentor Graphics worked collaboratively on the test structures and the measurement technique to accurately quantify and measure 90nm parasitic effects. The test structures that were developed comprised a wide range of line widths and pattern densities to evaluate the effects of process variation across the wafer and across a single die.
"Customers can have confidence that Calibre xRC parasitic extraction will match silicon results," said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager for the design-to-silicon division at Mentor Graphics, "At the 90nm technology process node, designers not only require that new nanometer effects be captured, but they also demand higher accuracy. The test chip results proved the robust nature of the TSMC 90nm process and the accuracy of Calibre xRC."
The Calibre xRC tool can also support key 90nm process capabilities including selective process biasing, length of diffusion (LOD), source / drain and polysilicon gate resistance and metal fill. In modeling such advanced silicon processes the Calibre xRC tool extracts highly accurate RLC parasitics to enable a complete array of analysis requirements.
Design Kit Support
Calibre LVS, Calibre DRC and Calibre xRC rule files for TSMC's latest process technologies can be found on the TSMC customer website at http://online.tsmc.com/online/login.jsp. The Calibre rule files are fully compatible with TSMC process design kits for AMS, RF and digital design process technologies, and support all commonly used design creation environments.

Comments about Gameness Women's Feather Gi:
The pants and top are noticably a different colour..but its fits very well especially under the arms. Size chart was accurate. I have a longer, thinner torso and mens styles were bulky and uncomfortable. The collar is heavier weighted construction than the rest of the gi to ensure usefulness and practicality when sparring. Drawback- the "bag" was not as advertised. it was a seethru plastic pouch with no handles, useless beyond shipping. a free belt would be more useful

After returning to the podium in Singapore with a superb drive through the field, our Iceman is aiming to keep the good feeling going in Yeongam…
It's better than it was on Saturday in Singapore which is when it didn't feel too good. The important thing was that I was able to race and we did a pretty good job with the podium finish. It's not the first time I've had a problem, as there have been some issues with my back for a long time. For sure, we will have to see how it is when I get out on track on Friday in Korea.
Let's hope we are able to maintain the strong form from Sunday in Singapore. The car felt good for the whole race and it was a nice feeling racing too. The main focus is to keep this positive feeling and benefit from it in the next races.
Last year was my first visit there and it's quite a tricky circuit to learn quickly, but I felt comfortable with it after a few laps. When the car is right, you can go well there. Last year we saw it's a good place to race with a good car.
You always want to get the best finish and the most points you can, so it was certainly better than Spa or Monza. I had pretty good speed and could overtake a few people, then at the end I was following Jenson [Button] and could see that his tyres were going off so I just applied some pressure. I knew I had to get past him because obviously some other people had changed to new tyres and they were catching us quickly. I managed to pass him and pull away and luckily nobody managed to catch me in the end. So it was not too bad; especially after a weekend where we had some problems with my back and not the ideal setup. To finish third with all those things and where we were on the grid, I don't think we could have asked much more.
Maybe it looked more tricky than it was. Obviously you have more grip when you brake on the racing line and you know more or less where you have to brake; much more than you do on the inside. It wasn't an easy one but we managed to get past and that's the main thing.
It's pretty normal that different cars and drivers use their tyres differently. We had a plan and we knew that if the safety car came out we would have to try to run until the end. Luckily some other teams couldn't manage it and had to pit.
The main target is to have a better weekend overall compared to what we saw in Singapore-. Obviously, we didn't have the best qualifying and it makes things easier if you start in the top ten.
After a weekend in Singapore where he was always on the pace – even if reliability issues were conspiring against him – Romain Grosjean looks forward to the potential for a good result in Korea...
I'm feeling pretty positive; we had a good car in Singapore and we should have a good car in Korea. Qualifying in the top three so late in the season shows that we still have good strength in our package, so if we can show comparable pace at the next few races it'll be a real strength for us.
Last year was my first time at the Korea International Circuit and it's quite an interesting place. It wasn't so hard to learn, although there are three quite different parts to it with the long straight in sector one, high and medium speed corners in sector two and then the street course nature of the final sector. The trickiest parts are definitely Turns 11 & 12 which are not easy to get exactly right, but overall it's not too bad and I think the E21 should go well there.
Like any weekend, we want to achieve the best results we can. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of any of the issues we suffered in Singapore as they didn't make the weekend any easier. It would be nice to have some better luck and have a straightforward Friday, another good qualifying result and then a strong finish on Sunday.
It terms of lost potential, it was a pretty hard end to the weekend when we had to retire. Friday was difficult as we didn't get much track time, then Saturday was fantastic to qualify in third on the grid. The race was going well before we had the problem and had to retire. I certainly wasn't happy.
I think a second or third place finish was a realistic prospect. We had a good strategy pitting under the safety car and we should have finished well, but unfortunately my engine had other ideas. We lost air pressure and the team tried to fix the problem by topping it up with an additional pit stop, but unfortunately that didn't work so we had to retire which is never what you want to happen.
You're never very happy after a retirement and especially when you are going for a podium. That said we have a strong car, a good team and we will keep doing our best as we have been doing for the last few races to try to get back on top as quickly as possible.
The back-to-back races can be quite tiring, but equally they work pretty well logistically as we stay on a similar time zone for a couple of weeks; certainly with Korea and Japan. It's also quite nice to be able to see some of the countries we visit with a little bit of time between the races. It's not so nice to be away from your family of course, but it makes for an interesting end to the season with the six races so close together.

Craig,Given the hilarious decision tree, this may be a stupid question, but I ask it with sincerity: having worked in the industry, does commercial processed animal food--(i.e. bacon, hot dogs, etc.)--give you any pause health-wise, other than egregious over-indulgence? Thanks...Adam
Does turkey bacon count?
Need some of the after shots of that bird!
Craig,I guess it is the driving motivations of the commercial meat industry that I am curious about. I fully understand that a business has to profitable to exist--(government bailouts notwithstanding); but it is very popular right now in the "local food movement"--(not that there is anything wrong with supporting the local food economy)--to paint the commercial meat industry as solely concerned with maximizing profit...so much so that the health of the consumers and animals be damned, all in the name of profit. At an intellectual level, that viewpoint makes little sense to me, because if you inherently sacrifice your business inputs and the outputs utilized by customers, you are dooming the business to eventual failure. However, I have also been exposed to the contrarian emotional-side of the argument--("all commercial animal products are evil because of the big, bad corporations")--and thus, I am intrigued by your experience in the industry: was there a singular focus on maximizing profit; or was there a more balanced approach, integrating profit goals with consumer health, animal husbandry, etc. Thanks...Adam
The processing plants are generally very clean, as Craig has mentioned first hand.The areas where the animals are raised/"live" on the other hand can often be horror shows on multiple levels. It is important to realize that not all, but a great amount of the meat sold in most commercial locations does not spend a healthy, or clean life before going to the processing plant to be killed and packaged.It is not uncommon for pigs to suffer from all sorts of respiratory issues including pneumonia and other maladies from being constained to a life in a small, confined pen and having to constantly breathe in the gasses created from the S*^t of the multitude of pigs in the immediate vicinity.Regardless to whether someone wants to eat meat or not, I simply cannot believe that if a person was presented two pigs to eat before being sent to processing: Pig A was stained ankle deep with feces and was sick and infirmed and Pig B was healthy, not sick and clean. I find it hard to fathom that someone would pick Pig A to put into your body. And yet because we cannot "see" what is going on inside of CAFOs, most Americans unknowingly are choosing Pig A (or Cow A or Chicken A) on a daily basis. --K

Z-615 The College Mews VOL. XVIII, No. 4 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1941 Copyright, Trustees of price 10 CENTS oryn M3wr Collcflct 1940 A New Red Class Welcomed to Fold At Lantern Night Black Stocking Era Out Alice Crowder, '42 The usual impressiveness of Lan- tern Night was enhanced by the advent of another red class. As the strange and haunting melody and harmony of the traditional Pallas Athene Thea grew in volume from the first far-away strains in the depths of the library, the num- ber of bobbing red glows increased until it filled the darkness of the covered walk. The red lights were weakly coordinated by the sput- tering and all but invisible gleams of the blue lanterns of Senior lantern swingers. Like the manifestation of will-o'-the-wisps the lights and music seemed, until the Sophomores assembled around the pool and the results of the "end of the black stocking era" became apparent. Visible beneath the lan- terns were hundreds of legs. The illusion was broken, not to be re- stored until the freshmen filed back through the cloisters. The peak of the ceremony came in the giving of lanterns to the Freshmen and the retreat of the Sophomores ac- companied by a sound like that of the flight of a flock of birds. Long before the Freshman hymn, which year after year proves its superiority over the more melodic Sophomore hymn in its lack of monotony, began to die away the crunch of gravel announced the de- parting guest, a deplorable sign of lack of consideration. In the singing in Pembroke Arch the Sophomores far excelled, par- ticularly in choice of lyric songs and in harmony.

Islands9 Sculpture Outlined by Richter In Flexner Lecture In the second Flexner lecture, Dr. Richter described the art of the Aegean Islands, Asia Minor and Egypt, and South Italy and Sicily in the late seventh and early sixth century, B. C. Among the islands, Aegina, an important mercantile center, was active in the sculptural field and her seventh century coins are the earliest in European Greece. The great achievement of Thasos is the collossal Kriophorus of an early date. Naxos, largest and most fruitful of the Cyclades, was one of the first Greek states to experi- ment in the carving of stone sculp- ture; the dedications in the sanc- tuary of Apollo at Delos give us Continued on Page Three Bugs Are Bugs, But Bugs Arent Beetles; Lepisma Saccharina Uses Military Tactics By Sally Matteson, '43 Femininity is nowhere more blat- antly revealed than in reactions to insects. Our indiscriminate hor- ror of creepy, buzzy things is not in keeping with the Bryn Mawr tradition of mature inqui-ry and judgment. For there are bugs, and bugs. Only a few, in fact, arc bugs. A June Bug, for instance, is actually a May Beetle. Some aren't even insects. Spiders, who give the most ardent feminist a mo- mentary chill, are more nearly crabs; and the handsome, striped centipede, which we watched cir- cling the floor of a certain shower we know and disappearing quietly down the drain, is something quite different. Appalled at the mass ignorance, we have started a "Know What You're Squealing At" campaign. For days we have been chasing, trapping, and identifying speci- mens found inside college buildings. Our discover;es may be divided roughly into things that crawl and things that fly. Crawling ones are more exciting. The gun-metal creature of the Common Room floor, which has the deadly, unerring approach of a small tank, is Lepisma Saccharina. He is fond of sugar, followed by a bit of wall-paper. Wednesday we pursued a triangular bug down a Pembroke corridor, and found that he is called Enschistus Variolarim and smells. He has an undesirable, and we hope scarce, relative, Cimex Lectulariu8, (Latin, lectua, bed). Another unpopular crawler, Peri- planeta Americana (cockroach), was seen scuttling in the kitchen of one of the halls�it shall be nameless. Little red wood-lice abound. We can only trust that they are the sole representatives of their tribe, for Reticulitermes Fla- vipea (Termite), and Pediculus Capitis, (Latin, caput, capitis, head), are near lice cousins. Ants are too common to mention. Bee- tles are a confusion, but perhaps the black one in Merion basement was a Harpalus Pcnnsylvanicus. We note, by the way, a distressing tendency for species to be called Pennsylvanicus, and, alas, there is one small fly whose name is Sapro- ynyza Philadelphia! Flying things are less interest- ing. Moths are enigmas, since no two look alike. Then there are mosquitoes, Anopheles and Culex, and thousands of Musca Domestica, but they are dull. Nobody screams at them. Female terror seems to be directly proportional to the length of insect legs, and a "flying daddy long-legs," Bittacomarpha Clavipes,�he who complains: "My six long legs, all here and there, Oppress my bosom with des- pair,"- causes, perhaps, the most actual fainting. This is just the beginning of our research, but the next time your room-mate stands transfixed before a centipede, demanding hysterically that you remove him, just remem- ber that he is a Sentigera Forceps, close cousin of Lithabiua Erythro- cephalus and Euphoberiidae Acan- therpeatea, and act accordingly. Alumnae Return for Successful Weekend, Hear Faculty Speak on War Perspective Representatives of Many Classes Return Alumnae weekend brought hack many alumnae, representing a large number of classes, to the campus. The college offered them varied entertainment. Starting Friday evening with Lantern Night, the weekend activi- ties included two plays given by the Players' Club � The Twelve Pound Look and Rosalind�an ad- dress by Dr. John D. Gordon at the formal opening of the Rare Book Room; and a series of four lectures by members of the faculty in the departments of history and political science entitled Perspec- tive After Two Years of War. Election The Self-Government Asso- ciation takes pleasure in an- nouncing the election of Helen Resor as Vice-Presi- dent. B. M., Haverford and Swarthmore Continue Academic Cooperation In spite of hindrances the co- operative work between Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore continues this year with renewed vigor, Miss Park announced in her recent report to the Board of Di- rectors. There is the usual ex- change of Haverford and Bryn Mawr students and the two col- leges are using several professors in -common. Moreover, Dr. Jorge Basadre of the University of San Marcos in Lima has been assigned for the year to Swarthmore, Hav- erford and Bryn Mawr by the Com- mittee on Cultural Relations with South America. Dr. Basadre will give a course at Swarthmore the first semester and an advanced course to both Bryn Mawr and Haverford the sec- ond. During his stay in the United States he is writing a history of Peru, requested for the Shotwell Series of Latin American Histories. The death of Professor Brooks of Swarthmore and the inability of Mr. Mantoux and Mr. Broderson to accept the visiting professorships offered them by Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore respectively has re- duced the cooperative work in the social sciences. However, Dr. An- dre Weil, of Haverford and Mr. Asensio of Haverford and Mr. Bern- heimer of Bryn Mawr will lecture at both Bryn Mawr and Haverford. History and Politics Departments Combine In Symposium on War, Present and Future ROBBINS Taylor Hall, Room I), October 18.�Opening this series of lectures, Miss Robbins discussed the Irish Problem. She considered tbe ques- tions of British naval bases in Ire- land, of the racial minority in Ulster, and of the internal difficul- ties of any small neutral nation wishing to become self-sufficient. By the treaty of 1938, Ireland be- came little more than an honorary member of the British Empire. It has the advantages of freedom from British immigration laws and of protection by the British navy, but owes no obligations to England. Naval Bases The naval bases, which had been ceded to England in 1922, were re- turned to Ireland in 1938 by the Chamberlain administration. De Valera considered their possession by Ireland essential. The impor- tance of the bases to England in securing Atlantic lines and in guarding against possible invasion, is, Miss Robbins said, obvious; but their present use would probably strain Anglo-Irish relations by making Ireland feel she was being drawn into the war. Disunity of North and South Although the Irish constitution claims all Ireland for the Free State, the North and South have not yet united. Since Ulster is richer than the Irish Free State, Protestant in religion and still po- litically bound to England, its in- habitants do not regard Union with Southern Ireland favorably. The Continued on rage four First Forum Opens With Four Speakers The first student Forum will be held on Saturday evening, Novem- ber 7, in the Common Room. Four speakers will give brief talks on opinion groups in the four regions of the United States that affect our national policy. The inter- ests, organization, and effect of such groups, along with some idea as to their history, will be pre- sented. Following the speeches there will be an open discussion in which the speakers will answer luestions. MANNING Taylor Hall, Room G, October 18.�"Any attempt at a common legislature of the English speak- ing nations must be based on a very flexible agreement," Mrs. Manning, of the Department of History, said, speaking on The Future of the British Empire. One must realize the disunity and di- versity of the British Empire be- fore one can consider any union of these countries. At present the British Empire is divided into three parts: India,� really an empire in itself,�Canada and 'Australia,�dominions almost completely independent,�and the colonies proper. India India is strongly tied to Great Britain, It has no constitution of its own. Its conquest coincided with the humanitarian movement in England, and thus Englishmen, loath formerly to let go of it he- cause they felt that its happiness depended on education, now con- tinue to hang on for fear that, once free, Jndia will return to its former state. The Indian govern- ment is more than self-Supporting, bringing in considerable revenue to Great Britain and to many in- dividual Englishmen. The country has the added value of its stra- tegic position in the Eastern Hem- isphere, and, finally, its fear of Germany, Russia and Japan makes it cling to England of itself. Independence of Dominions The colonies and dominions, how- ever, are a different matter. They may be divided into three kinds: Relics of an earlier economic sys- tem, like Jamaica; colonies ac- quired for strategic reasons, and colonies acquired for raw mate- rials. Bad administration ren- dered these expensive rather than profitable in the middle of the 19th century. The result was a strong anti-imperialistic movement and an indifference to actual posses- sions. Australia and Canada were settled, not conquered. Originally, the emigrants were mostly unde- sirables and England was eager to be lid of them as completely as possible. This, added to indif- ference, and the consequent liberal grants of self-government, con- dor tinned on Page Four Miss Park to Attend West Coast Meetings Miss Park is planning a month's trip, during which she will address and attend a series of meetings on the West Coast. Leaving for the West Coast the first or second of November, Miss Park will arrive in Los Angeles the sixth, when her round of speeches and meetings begins al- most immediately. As chairman of the College Entrance Examina- tion Board, she will speak to the head-mistresses of the Pacific Coast November 7. President Park will spend the seventh and eighth with this group, attending various discussions and meetings. From Continued on Pag� Five Miss Henderson Has Had Wide Experience, Directed Charleys Aunt and John Garfield Directing the Varsity Players' major fall production, Stage Door, will not be purely a matter of in- spiration to Miss Mary Henderson, instructor of diction, since she has had past experience in the profes- sional theatre. For three years she directed the Santa Fe Players, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, presenting such varied productions as western melodramas for the fiesta, the per- ennial Charlie's Aunt, ("what a money-maker," Miss Henderson said,) Synge's Irish plays, and The Road to Rome. grated to New York. She worked under Eva Le Gallienne in the low- price Civic Repertory Theatre, act- ing, stage-managing, and directing the apprentice group. She had a chance to see all sides of directing, since the plays rotated, and ranged from Chekov and Ibsen to the mod- ern play S'wy fried, by Jean Girau- dou, and Miss Le Gallienne's memo- rable Alice in Wonderland. She thus acquired a far fuller experi- ence than working on Broadway plays would have given. Miss Henderson directed some of the younger actors who have since made their mark,�Burgess Mere- dith, Mark Lawrence, Leona Rob- erts and Helen Walpole who later appeared on Broadway in Stage Door, ./�ir\a John Garfield, then In 1930 Miss Henderson felt the known as Jules Garfinkle, and won- need for further range and mj^jrerful, Miss Henderson said, in Awake and Sivy.
