Cushman & Wakefield is joining Téléthon and rallying on December 71 Nov, 2007, ParisCushman & Wakefield France has decided to rally the fight against muscular dystrophies
and actively support Téléthon 2007.
Thanks to Téléthon, the French Association against Muscular Dystrophies (AMF) has already
obtained significant results in the struggle against the disease. Created in 1958 by sufferers
and sufferers' parents and recognised by the Authorities in 1976, AFM has a clear target: to
vanquish neuromuscular diseases which kill muscles one by one.
Cushman & Wakefield France has therefore decided to organise a 12 km course that every
participant will either run or walk. The route will be approved by the Préfécture de
Police and the City Hall beforehand.
The course starts at 11/13 avenue de Friedland, the C&W head office in France on
Friday December 7 at 1:00 PM. The arrival is scheduled for 5:00 PM at the VIP ROOM, on
the Champs Elysées 75008 Paris. The location which belongs to Jean Roch is generously lent
to C&W to organise the event.
Anne Roumanoff, the godmother of Téléthon
Paris, will join us in the VIP space from 6:00 PM to thank us in person for our commitment.
She will also sign her new DVD full of brand new sketches sold at 15 € and launched specially
for the event. All the money of the sale will be donated to Téléthon 2007.
You are therefore more than welcome to join our efforts. If you want, you can also buy
kilometres run or walked by Cushman & Wakefield employees and help Téléthon "funds-o-meter"
go up. Cushman & Wakefield France has more than 200 employees which are all eager to
actively participate in the social responsibility of their company. Each donation is 66% tax
refundable. It is of course perfectly clear that the amount donated depends on individual
responsibility. They make up for the sole source of income of Téléthon. You can also follow the
operation on our website www.cushmanwakefield.fr.
If you want to share this friendly and generous moment, please get in touch with Christine
Tanguy (firstname.lastname@example.com).

I love role playing game's (RPGs). At its core Fallen Enchantress is half 4x strategy game and half RPG. The best mechanics for Fallen Enchantress are applicable at an RPG and 4x level. In particular we are trying to push the RPG side of the game so that it feels like a 4x game set in an RPG world.
There are a lot of game mechanics and implementation details (flavor) that support this focus. But one of my favorites in Fallen Enchantress is Traits.
Traits are used in a few ways. They are assigned to monsters and champions much as abilities are in War of Magic (at an implementation level traits are abilities, the ability system has just received a lot of new functionality to support what we need traits to do). They are also used when you design units. So you can design a unit with their equipment, mounts and any special traits you want to assign to them (the amount of traits and the traits you have to choose from depend on your techs).
But my favorite use of traits is that you no longer simply add points when your champions level up. Instead you have a random selection of traits to choose from. Some traits are common, some are uncommon and some are rare. They are random so that players can't simply choose their favorites every time. It also allows us to make traits unbalanced, rare traits can be pretty cool without making common traits useless. And it helps make your champions more unique if one of them got some cool ability when he hit 2nd level (instead of having that trait require a min level of 10 or another balancing control).
Fallen Enchantress offers 5 random traits for the unit to pick from when they level up and the player gets to choose one. The traits offered may depend on the traits the unit already has, for example champions that produce gildar may get traits that allow them to improve that ability. Champions will have the ability to improve their spell casting proficiency by traits (access to spells isn't limited to intelligence in Fallen Enchantress), to improve their stats, or to gain new skills.
We have lots of fun traits planned. But I'm excited to hear from you so tomorrow we will be starting a Design a Trait contest. What abilities would you like units to gain when they level up?
Watch the http://www.elementalgame.com/contest for the contest to go live tomorrow.
Update on 3/17/2011: Conditional Traits
One of the most interesting features of traits is that they can be conditional in Fallen Enchantress (unlike abilities). So they can only apply in specific situations. we currently have tags for:
vsDamaged- This trait only takes effect when you are attacking a damaged unit
vsHigher- This trait only takes effect when you are attacking a unit with a higher (whatever UnitStat is specified).
vsLower- This trait only takes effect when you are attacking a unit with a lower (whatever UnitStat is specified).
vsOtherAllegiance- This trait only takes effect when you are attacking a unit of the opposite allegiance (kingdom attacking fallen or vise versa).
vsUnitType- Unit Type is a new attribute in Fallen Enchantress, all units are either Beasts, Elementals, Twisted, Humans, Construct or Dragons. This allows a trait to only be active when you are attacking the specified unit type.
WhenUnderPercentHitPoints- This trait is only active when the unit with it is under the specified percentage of their hit points.
xActions- This trait is only active for the specified amount of actions in tactical combat. This is how we give Plaguestalkers a huge movement and attack boost just for their first action.
I take it you have never played fall from heaven.
There are a lot of competitive multiplayer games out there. Balance needs to be reflected in every part of their design. We don't have that restriction, so let's have some fun with it. I'd much rather you tell a story about that awesome champion you had in one game because you got great traits and then loaded him up with so,e cool magical items you were lucky to find then have you noodling between decisions that all end up basically the same.
Let's let monsters pour out of the shadow gate, cast spells that destroy cities and have heroes that can turn the tide of battle.
There was a bug a player reported for war of magic. A Dawn Dragon attacked him on turn 14. It was because he was playing a custom map with the dragon placed on it. But I liked the responses from the other players, they were envious. They wanted to see crazy things like that. I can't promise that you are going to be attacked on turn 14 by a dragon, but crazy things will happen.
Brad's Christmas AI build killed my sov and Janusk on turn 7 - being eaten by a grizzly bear was painful but fun!
I'd vote for a trait tree, with some being pre-reqs for others. I'd also vote for different heroes being pemitted / permanently locked-out-of groups of traits. "Random" might sound nice, but it it is the same random selection for everyone, we can just eventually get the same ones for every hero -- if 1st 2nd choice aren't offered this time, pick our normal #3 choice and wait for next time, etc.
The proposed system is a lot like AoW-SM, which I didn't like much, mostly because it seemed there was only one best way to buff a hero, not matter what type he was supposed to be. Bulk up resistance, melee attack & defense, and equip with a sword of double-strike, life-stealing & either +1 attack or first strike. Even supposed spellcasters worked out better that way. Ranger with supposedly good ranged attack? Forget that and make him a melee fighter first. Then buy him a cannon later. Avoiding some similar trap in FE will take some planning.
Some of the best things in MOM involved hero handing.
1: Heroes had different specialties from the start. Magic / archer / melee, etc.
2: Some heroes were just plain much better than others, mostly because they had special traits like armor piercing, or one of the traits that gave them extra points of one stat every time they leveled-up. There were a bunch of these, for attack / defence / hit-points / magic-power, etc. This tied closely with price-to-hire and special spells to summon them. By contrast in Elemental I don't see much correlation between how powerful a hero is vs how much it costs to recruit him, and all the important differences are there in level 1. Either you have Savage-Strike or you don't.
Those always-plus-1-of-something traits would probably be easy to do in the proposed FE system. Please.
Then you can toss in a little extra variety that MOM didn't have. Don't just give these super-valuable traits to high-priced heroes with good starting stats. Toss on one or two low-priced dudes with those traits but otherwise crummy starting stats. Then maybe toss in some slow-learner dead-end types with high starting stats but not much else going for them.
This thread has given me hope for FE. Can't wait to see the beta.
I would VERY much like for there to be hero "types" built into these trait trees as well. "Archer-type" heroes who more readily generate traits related to ranged combat, "champion-type" heroes who have greater likelihood of generating unit support type traits.
By no means have them totally restrictive, but several different trait groups with heroes who are predisposed to generating traits from certain groups with a higher likelihood.
The trait/level concept was what I liked most in Age of Wonders, really looking forward to seeing it in Elemental.
That's because it is a good idea. While I don't know if it will be good as a replacement to the current leveling system, it is definitely a good addition all around. What I would like to see is some kind of dynamic system to define rarity. My largest concern with respect to static probabilities is what one might call the "getting screwed by randomness factor." For instance, let's say that you have some champion we will call Achilles. Achilles is your standard level 4 sword/shield warrior, who has a strength trait, a dexterity trait, and a dodge trait. Now, Achilles levels again, and his choices are intelligence, some kind of production, some kind of ranged bonus, etc. All the choices for Achilles are interesting, but none really reflect what Achilles is about. AoW:SM used a similar random selection system for researching magic spells, but it was not hard for one faction to gain a huge advantage over another simply because one got a better selection of complimentary spells. From a mod perspective, by making rarities dynamic, would not only allow mod maker to redefine the rarity of various traits, but could create more robust mods dealing with unit leveling.
Yay perk....I mean traits!
Yay, that was my first thought as well...
AoW:SM and all other TBS from the 1990-2000's are pretty good places to steal get ideas from. I'm glad Derek seems to think the same.
Very pleased to see that they will be adopting a more AOW:SM system for FE.
I was really hoping for this and it makes me even more excited about FE.
That quote makes me happy as well. Having bad ass monsters like that will make victory all the sweeter in the end.
You'll really feel like you've accomplished something heroic. ^^
I can also imagine that cooperating with the other factions will be all the more crucial.
You'll be battling nature and the environment as much as you will the other factions.
Seems cool! Looking forward to it.
Cape: the hero looks dashing and it provides a 25% bonus to charisma and leadership (however there is a small chance that the hero dies when affected by particular combinations of Air spells)
other traits plural? - that would be good (and do something similar for tech as well....)
Can you have mutually exclusive traits or technologies (something that was not possible in WoM)?
Best regards,Steven.
Currently traits can require techs, other traits or a race. Our design doesn't call for blocking traits, though we may be implementing mutually exclusive mechanics in other areas (not for our design, but for modders).
lets hope there will be alot of different traits
Okay, open the contest. I've got a trait ready, for me its really far into the 17th of march!
I updated the first post with a lot of new information about traits. I completely forgot about all the conditional trait information when I wrote up my post yesterday.
Very Awesome on the conditional! I was wondering if it is possible to have a conditional which is vsSpecificFaction. It would be very cool if one could create a champion that has a particular dislike of a one faction or another. For instance, I might have a fallen champion that gets a bonus when attacking Altarians. Another nice condition might be onHit. Thus, you could have a whole set of traits which do some kind of retaliation effect. A good example would be an ability like "Flame Shield" where in an attacker would take damage when for attacking a unit with the trait.
I have a ton of traits I'd like to see implemented. I can only submit one?
It was hard to shave this down to 5,000 characters. I had to remove apostrophes, spaces after periods, and the spaces between paragraphs. I built on the lore of the quest entry I made previously. Here's my entry in an easier to read format:
The original opening of the Gates were performed prior to the entrapment of magic within the Elemental Shards,and without a way to focus their energies required a great deal of power.To crack the viel between worlds,the gate had to be stained with blood in dark rituals.Luckily,there was never any shortage in prisoners.What were the lives of mortal beings if not resources to be used by their masters?So the Great Gate was built,and blood flowed across the runes carved into its surface.But not all the prisoners sat idle in their chains,waiting to be expunged from the world to contribute to the darkness encroaching upon it.Kelytia,warrior priestess of the once great eastern kingdom of Malaya,bided her time in captivity.Rumors passed down from prisoner to prisoner of what awaited them at the end of the line.Thousands of lives had been given to the cracking of the viel,and thousands more would be needed.The blood flowed thicker than that of any battlefield for the Dread Lords purpose.Kelytia had been a leader of her people,carrying them through battle after battle until her forces,whittled to the point of almost nothing,were finally captured by the beasts loyal to the Titans.So she planned for one last battle.One last push for the glory of her kingdom,and to push darkness from the world one last time.Prisoners were processed in the order they were taken,and thus the Malayan warriors were bound together and brought as one amongst the other prisoners for their day at the alter.The sacrificial priests at the alters surrounding the Gate wore robes so black and stained with blood that light seemed to shy away from them.Their purpose so dark,the energies of Death itself flowed through them,their eyes glowing crimson under their hoods as groups of soldiers escorted prisoner after prisoner to the alters to be gutted with wicked runed hooks.Then came Kelytias turn,and those of her warriors.Experts of hand to hand,the moment the shackles fell from the last one the set upon their foes like whirlwinds,taking the spears from the first soldiers they took down,and wielding these spears took down even more.The priests at the alter began chanting and casting dark magics,sucking the life force from any prisoners still in line not strong willed enough to resist,and blasting these forces at Kelytia and the other Malayans,but to no avail.They took each blow,each mark against their life forces,as if they were nothing.They had accepted the certainty of their deaths and made peace with their gods,and nothing would stop them in their purpose.As each Malayan fell,the remainder seemed to grow more focused,knowing their instant of finalization grew closer.One by one,soldier and priest and Malayan warrior were cut down,their blood flowing around the alter and mixing with that of the prisoners.Then something unexpected happened.The prisoners blood,so wrought with a sense of fear and resignation and hopelessness,was now mixed with the blood of those that ended them.Their final resting place,as dark as it seemed,was made darker.The Gate activated,the veil cracked,but it wasnt the viel between the demonic plains and the world of Elemental that broke open and spilled forth - It was the land of the dead,the land of those whose blood had been desecrated.A host of the slaughtered prisoners stepped forth,glowing violet in the darkness of the citadel containing the Great Gate.As Kelytia,last of the Malayan warriors lay dying,she saw this forth flow into the room,swirling amongst priest,soldier,and prisoner alike.Shackles burst into ash amonst the prisoners;they were freed,and quickly moved to take weapons from the dead soldiers.Priests,whos powers in Death had no effect on those who had already crossed the viel,were defenseless under the assault.The entire massive citadel was wiped clean of the Dread Lords stain on the world,and as suddenly as it began,the gate deactivated.The spirits of the dead vanished,dispersed into the world,and the prisoners,along with the mortally wounded Kelytia,escaped.Kelytia was able to survive until they made it back to the Malayan capital,still untouched by the war,and though infection and fever took their toll,it seemed she could not die.She had been bathed in the light of the Dead,and given their blessing.Until it was her time,she would not be taken.The trait came to be known as being "Blooded",blessed by the Dead,and each of the escaped prisoners retained it.Wounds that would normally kill even the strongest seemed to glance off them like they were nothing,and they became a curse to the Dread Lords work.Even now it is said that there are Blooded among the survivors of the Cataclysm,great men and women who cannot be taken by even the strongest blow,until their strength has been whittled away entirely.
This is so awesome Kael, I am now very excited about Fallen Enchantress. If I had a womb, I would let you make a baby in it.
This is encouraging; great work on the redesign. As a minor point, I'd suggest that the selection on level up not include specific attributes (ie, Charisma). Instead, just have a selection (that's always available on level up) to "attributes", and give us 3 points to distribute to attributes as we've done up until now. One of the bad things on AOW was that there times when leveling a hero resulted in 3 choices that were equally useless to the hero. I'd like to have at least a default position that makes the hero stronger/faster/more intelligent, if luck doesn't present us with any good traits for that level up.
Also, I've never really gotten a hero above level 8 in EWOM; are we thinking of letting the experience point progression drop a little bit, to allow for more traits to be selected?


text: WinRAR - What's new in the latest version Version 5.00 beta 4 1. If archiving operation cannot allocate memory required for compression dictionary, it automatically reduces the dictionary size. 2. Decompression algorithm can store the dictionary in several memory blocks. It helps to unpack an archive on systems with high level of memory heap fragmentation, when no single memory block is large enough to fit the entire compression dictionary. Version 5.00 beta 3 1. Fixed XZ archive support, which did not work in beta 2. 2. "Convert" command did not allow to use compression dictionaries exceeding 4 MB. 3. If both encryption password and archive comment were specified when creating RAR archive, archive comment was not added. 4. "View as Unicode (UTF-8)" command in internal viewer did not work, so UTF-8 files were displayed correctly only if their encoding was detected by viewer automatically. 5. Maximum compression dictionary size when running in Windows XP x86 is reduced to 128 MB. WinRAR cannot allocate enough memory to create archives with 256 MB dictionary in Windows XP x86. 6. Corrections in relative path processing, such as "..\arcname.rar" name in archiving dialog or "WinRAR foldername" in the command line. Version 5.00 beta 2 1. When adding an incompressible file to non-solid RAR archive, beta 1 could duplicate the first megabyte of archived file, resulting in damaged file. 2. "Add to archive..." context menu command could place a created archive to a wrong folder. Version 5.00 beta 1 1. New RAR 5.0 archiving format. You can use "RAR 5.0" option in archiving dialog or -ma command line switch to create RAR 5.0 archives. Older software including older WinRAR versions is not able to decompress RAR 5.0 archives, so if you plan to send an archive to other people, it is necessary to take the compatibility issue into consideration. You can select "RAR" instead of "RAR5" option in archiving dialog to create RAR 4.x archives compatible with previous WinRAR versions. 2. Changes in RAR 5.0 compression algorithm: a) maximum compression dictionary size is increased up to 1 GB in 64 bit WinRAR. 32 bit WinRAR version can use up to 256 MB dictionary when creating an archive. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions can unpack archives with any dictionary size, including 1 GB; b) default dictionary size for RAR 5.0 is 32 MB, typically resulting in higher compression ratio and lower speed than RAR 4.x 4 MB. You can use "Dictionary size" archiving dialog option or -md |

DJ's at KUCI seem to all be seriously down with their No Mainstream Manifesto" (like it was a blood oath in fact), but one DJ actually "gets down" in total free-form funky fashion. She is known as DJ TanhT, y'all. Like a stick of fiery DY-NO-MiTE, she knows how to "bring it;" blasting a world of sheer funky goodness into the faces of her listeners every Tuesday on her show "Funk your Face." She does not stop the fireworks there. She goes even deeper into the Funk, dropping the bomb class knowledge about a genre she obviously is feelin' the passion for. She lays down a fine smooth foundation, and lights up the history on everything the sound of funk and its related genres give to the body, mind, and soul, all in preparation to thoroughly "Funk your Face."
TanhT is Tops when it comes to guiding her listeners to get their groove on, tuning them into the funk, soul, Afro-beat, jazz, reggae, instrumental hip hop, and anything that boogies.
While TanhT has a witty yet bluesy nurturing nature- a real soul sweetened radio persona, she does not shy away from the "meatiest of beats," spinning some of the sexiest old school tracks that make you wanna get loose and shake your caboose, put the "Loco" in your motion, and get down to the funky cuts in a way that would make the Soul Train strut its stuff.
Pilot episode of a 1996 cartoon "The Name is Bootsy Baby". "More bass in the monitors!" Bootsy Collins Cartoon
So if you're not ready to get down to some funk-filled underground, and vibe out to some well dressed music, you best back your self up on out of here and Save your Face from getting Funked. TanhT puts the FUN in FUNk, on her groovy "Roller Coaster of Love" ride. She exudes a playful, flirty, and provocative style which seems to keep her " Super Funky Chicken" listeners coming "bok bok" for more week after week, from near and far; some even as distant as the UK.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – Moments
TanhT knows how to spice things up and keep the variety going on, as she never serves up the same funky meal twice. She goes from playing sets of Sun-Ra one week, sassy with some Big and Brassy from "Hypnotic Brass Ensemble" the next, to serving up some eclectic, evocative groove oriented originals from LA based band "Orgone" on this past Tuesday's show. While TanhT was playing some marvelous sets from them, she invited listeners to dig into the Funk and check out the meaning of the word "Orgone." Word Up ! TanhT mixes her fresh style nicely into the funky flow of the musical ether, cuz its all about the creative energy no doubt.
Orgone "Ain't No Use" (Live from the Nectar Lounge, Seattle)
Yes , without a doubt there is never a dull moment when tuned into "TanhT Tuesdays," a true "Afternoon Delight" of Funking Your Face with beats that will surely move that junk in your trunk, in ways that would have even made the late great Don Cornelius blush.
In her RadioFlag profile she describes her show with phrases like, "Cut a Rug, Give A Hug, Music For Your Mug," and during her show you will hear her describe the "Funk your Face" experience, using her trademark show language such a "Funky, bumpy, never grumpy music for your ears."
So if it's your first time tuning in to "Funk YourFace," be prepared for some explosive Funktastic sets, because as the name implies, DJ TanhT is Funkalicious! While blazing through a hot trail of tracks from her raw repertoire of vinyl, her sultry radio voice runs along the radiowaves, like a silky smooth stocking seam racing into the perked up ears of her funk-fanatic listeners, leaving them hotly anticipating what "get down" beats are superfly enough to make it on to her turntable next. Her collection of boogie inducing and booty shaking genres by legendary artists, creates the kind of pizzazz that puts the "snazz in jazz" and then some.
George Duke – Funkin' for the Thrill (1979)
This special DJ also draws from the sentiments and ideas of those whose quotes she takes great pleasure in sharing with her listeners:
"Dirt. Soil. It's almost like jazz is linear, it's like air. Funk to me, and soul to a degree, is like the earth. It's the bottom of it all. It's the beginning. It's where it started. Gospel was kind of clean, it was like clean dirt. Funk is dirty dirt. Funk is funny. I never take funk seriously. I would feel funny playing funk in a place like Carnegie Hall because it's not funkyenough…– George Duke
As gritty and sizzling as things can get during the "Funk Your Face" show, there are times when I have heard TanhT change the tempo into a sheer mellow purr of a pace. Often times while she is exploring new school artists and revisiting with old school legends, her musical palette and ear for raw original music, allows the show to segue into a timeless shrine of golden soulful sounds.
Her extension through the funk timeline, digs deep through generations of groove infused sound, returning you to the roots and true soul of all the music she spins, which are vast and without boundaries. The date or origin no longer seem to matter if it's the true funk right? It becomes a flawless expression at some points. If it makes you feel good then there's nothing to worry about; that place when you discover that your feelin' the funk so much, that you totally unwind into an easy going state of mind! That's the Chill side of Funk and there is nothing cooler.
Dam-Funk – Hood Pass Intact
Being a stand out Dj is an Art , just like everything in its highest expression, so this is a show that every true music lover should tune in to. TanhT will take you to funky new heights, leaving you with no worries, cuz once her vinyl vibes nestle down deep into your ear drums you will hear only your souls hum. This is a place you may not realize you're missing, until you begin to hear that soulful hissing, and once you get down up in here, you will miss it when you're not there. So remember to live in the moment, because like TanhT says it, "Funk is Life."
Fela Kuti – Who No Know Go Know
Tune in to Funk Your Face on 88.9fm kuci.org and listen up every Tuesday from 1pm-3pm. Flag her on RadioFlag @FUNKYOURFACE. Catch all of her archived playlists over at her tumblr blog or find her on Facebook

The Deity Compound pedals have an injected molded nylon composite body with replaceable Cr-Mo pins. The Deity Compound is not your average throw- away pedal. They are fully sealed, rebuildable, thin, and offer the same grip as a traditional aluminum pedal.

Best Uses
Comments about Deity Compound Pedals:
I think the best bike products are ones that can solve a problem better than others but do it in a simple way. These do.
No grip is sacrificed whatsoever vs the top brand metal pedals. The tall pins and huge width makes them a great contact point between your feet and bike.
The weight savings vs a comparable aluminum pedal is significant and noticeable...around half a pound.
I slightly prefer a concave pedal profile to these, but it took only 5 mins on the first ride with them to get completely comfortable.
I have found these to be very durable, but it could be argued that they cannot possibly be quite as durable. Deity acknowledges this concern by making replacement parts readily available and inexpensive.
Note: it is possible to damage the threads inside the pedal body that the end caps screw into (and hold the pedal tight on the spindle) if you over-tighten too much. I did that once but deity provided awesome customer service. Just go until it is snug then stop, and you won't have this problem.

Jaffery with his Guests along the Wagakura kopjes come across a Lioness on top of rock with its cubs. After few minutes the lioness started stalking Zebras which were happily feeding near the Kopjes. The stallion sensed the presence of the Lioness and alerted the rest to flee from the danger zone. Guests were amazed by the sharp sense of smell and communication between the zebras.

Have a very blessed day!
The theory sounds plausible, but I do not ever remember hearing this.Originally Posted by Hornish4
God speed!
Could be. But I believe that both cars could have made it to the finish on the remaining fuel if they went to a conserve mode. Fittipaldi had last pitted on lap 165 and Unser on lap 168. The cars carried 40 gallons of methanol back then so it was at least possible for Fittipaldi to get to the end if he managed to get mileage in the low to mid 2 MPG range. Even more true for Unser. At any rate it no longer mattered once Emmo crashed on lap 184 because fuel mileage basically doubled under the yellow flag for Unser. And Stan Fox brought out another yellow before the finish so Al Jr. was home free. BTW, this was classic Roger Penske race management. He often has all of his cars on slightly different pit strategies so that no matter what the yellow situation turns out to be he has at least one car in position to take advantage of the situation.Originally Posted by Hornish4

And the guy Scott Goodyear was chasing in '92.... Al Unser jr.
The Galmers were beautiful cars but at Indy in 1992 they were sleds. I sit on practice days in the south chute and we watched Al jr sliding toward the wall all month. I've said ever since that race that part of the reason Lil' Al won is he had a month of practice keeping the car off of the wall.

A good trivia question is, what drivers wore this helmet design? Most get the Andretti family, Mario, Michael, and Jeff, (Marco's is similar but blue and not the deep red), but few remember that this design is from the mid 70's when Mario drove for Parnelli in the Viceroy cars. Al Unser Sr. had the same helmet design, except his helmet's base color was white and Mario silver.Originally Posted by ZOOOM

That 92 Sullivan car was a beauty but my favorite of all time is the 1988-1989 Miller High Life paint job. Specificaly the PC18 Chevy Indy V8 car because it had the red #1 on it...
Great video of Jackie Stewart testing Rick's 1988 PC17 at Mid Ohio. Quick question, doe's anyone know during the CART era, how many current chassis would a typical team have in the shop during the season? I mean I know top NASCAR teams would have up to 10 cars in house for all the different courses but they also used their cars in consecutive seasons unlike CART where new chassis & engine packages were comming out every year.
The site's caption says this is Big Al and it's obviously Pike's Peak. Can anybody give us any more info?
"Only a fool fights in a burning house."-Kang
"If you listen to fools....The Maaahhhhb Ruuuules....."-Ronnie James Dio
Not an Indy car but the connections should be obvious:
I think one of the NASCAR teams (now defunct) had close to 30 cars. I believe it was Behari Racing and I think that's where Michael Waltrip was when he drove the yellow Pennzoil Pontiac. The CoT was supposed to cut down on the number of cars that teams had. I would suspect that these days the number is closer to the 10 that you mention.Originally Posted by Rick Mears 500
If it was a two car team, they'd have four or five cars: Each driver had two cars. Which car was the primary and which was the back up depended on the race weekend. The fifth car was a test mule used by both drivers, but only the bigger teams had the extra car.Originally Posted by Rick Mears 500

Title: super mom vs super why
Date: Dec 02, 2012
My son loves these characters I watch the show with him 3 times a day. It was only right to throw him a super y party for his second birthday, I went to the other party store and they didn't have as much variety as express. I purchased the most simple package and did not know these mats were included when my son saw them he was equally as excited as I was, so much so I had to hide all things "party" . I can't wait til the other kids see them. They are very durable for something to color on, my son already spelt juice on it and it held up. I let it dry and he was able to continue to color.

Date: Dec 19, 2011
I purchased these to liven up the solid blue table cover at my son's 4th birthday party. Upon opening my package, I expected paper placemats. I was pleased to see that they are thicker paper mats that were durable enough to withstand beverage spills and toddlers' attempts to rip/tear the placemat. The back has an area to color Super Why characters, but the children at this party were not particularly interested ( ages 1-4).

I bought a few of these for my 4 year old daughter's birthday. They seem pretty sturdy but we don't use them as placemats. I use them to occupy her while we wait for food. She is a big fan of super why so these come in handy. Wish they came in a variety of coloring scenes for her. She gets tired of coloring the same picture in the pack of four.

I am really disappointed with the placemats. They are more like paper than something that is waterproof. I have not used them yet but am pretty sure they won't last long as the mat is a very thin material and I am not sure it will withstand much washing/wiping.

What is it?
Arthritis is a complex family of musculoskeletal disorders consisting of more than 100 different diseases or conditions that destroy joints, bones, muscles, cartilage and other connective tissues, hampering or halting physical movement. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the oldest and most common forms of arthritis and is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint's cartilage. Cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows easy movement of joints. The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other, causing stiffness, pain and loss of movement in the joint.
Today, an estimated 27 million Americans live with OA, but, despite the frequency of the disease, its cause is still not completely known and there is no cure. In fact, many different factors may play a role in whether or not you get OA, including age, obesity, injury or overuse and genetics. Your OA could be caused by any one or by a combination of any of these factors.
What causes it?
Common risk factors for osteoarthritis include.
- Age. Incidences of OA increase as you age. Since "wear and tear" does play a part in the development of OA, the older you are, the more you have used your joints. Although age is an important risk factor, it doesn't mean that OA is inevitable.
- Obesity. Increased body weight is a serious factor in the development of OA, particularly in your knees, which carry the brunt of your weight day in and day out. For every pound you gain, you add four pounds of pressure on your knees and six times the pressure on your hips. Recent research suggests that excess body fat produces chemicals that travel throughout the body and cause joint damage, which would mean obesity plays a systemic, not just a mechanical, role in osteoarthritis onset.
- Injury or Overuse. Athletes and people who have jobs that require doing repetitive motion, such as landscaping, typing or machine operating, have a higher risk of developing OA due to injury and increased stress on certain joints. OA also develops in later years in joints where bones have been fractured or surgery has occurred.
- Genetics or Heredity. Genetics plays a role in the development of OA, particularly in the hands. Inherited abnormalities of the bones that affect the shape or stability of the joints can lead to OA. Just because you have one of these inherited traits, doesn't mean that you are going to develop OA. It just means that your doctor should check you more closely and more frequently for signs and symptoms of the disease.
- Muscle Weakness. Studies of the knee muscles not only show that weakness of the muscles surrounding the knee can lead to OA, but that strengthening exercises for thigh muscles are important in reducing the risk.
What are the effects?
Most often, OA develops gradually. It may start as soreness or stiffness that seems more a nuisance than a medical concern. Pain may be moderate, intermittent and not interfere with your day-to-day existence. Some people's OA will never progress past this early stage. Others will have their OA progress to a point where it interferes with daily activities, and the pain and stiffness make it difficult to walk, climb stairs or sleep. Rarely, a person with OA will experience sudden signs of inflammation such as redness, pain and swelling, known as inflammatory or erosive osteoarthritis.
The most common signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis are:
- Joint soreness after periods of overuse or inactivity.
- Stiffness after periods of rest that goes away quickly when activity resumes.
- Morning stiffness, which usually lasts no more than 30 minutes.
- Pain caused by the weakening of muscles surrounding the joint due to inactivity.
- Joint pain is usually less in the morning and worse in the evening after a day's activity.
- Deterioration of coordination, posture and walking due to pain and stiffness.
Osteoarthritis most commonly occurs in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees and lower back. It also affects the neck, small finger joints, the base of the thumb and the big toe. OA rarely affects other joints except when injury or stress is involved.
How is it diagnosed?
The most important thing you can do if you suspect you have any form of arthritis is to get a proper diagnosis and begin treatment. Your doctor will use four main tools to determine your diagnosis: your medical history, a physical exam, X-rays and joint aspiration. The medical history and physical exam will be what he or she bases the diagnosis on, using tests such as X-rays and joint aspirations to confirm the diagnosis.
What are the treatment options?
You are the key factor in living successfully with OA. In addition to, and maybe more important than, medications you may take, making healthy lifestyle changes, managing stress and depression, avoiding joint damage, and balancing rest and activity will play a key role in battling the pain and limitations that can come with OA.
The goals of any treatment plan for OA include:
- Controlling pain and other symptoms
- Improving your ability to function in daily activities
Most treatment plans will include a combination of the following elements:
- Exercise
- Weight control
- Joint protection
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Medications
In severe cases, when the therapies above don't work, surgery may be considered.
What resources are available?
The Arthritis Foundation leads the way in helping people with arthritis live better today and create better tomorrows through new treatments, better access and, ultimately, cures. We do this by:
- Funding life-changing research that has restored mobility in patients for more than six decades
- Fighting for health care policies that improve the lives of the millions of Americans with arthritis
- Partnering with families to provide empowering programs and information
If you are diagnosed with osteoarthritis, some Arthritis Foundation resources that may help you better manage and live with your disease are:
- Learn more about osteoarthritis.
- Discover ways to make living with arthritis easier.
- Understand the causes of pain and the best ways to manage it.
- Discover what is happening with arthritis research.
- Help researchers find more effective treatments.
- Tell Congress more needs to be done for people with arthritis.

If you have a ripped pool screen cage or park a boat or trailer on the side of your house, the town of Longboat Key is going to eventually force you to fix your screen and park your boats and trailers elsewhere.
At its Monday regular workshop, the Longboat Key Town Commission agreed with staff's recommendation to strengthen a property maintenance code that right now can only tell property owners to cut weeds and grass.
A rundown Whitney Beach and Plaza and a deteriorating Colony Beach & Tennis Resort have sparked the change to hold some property owners to a higher standard.
Also at its regular workshop, commissioners:
• An update on the National Flood Insurance Program, which the town currently participates in.
• A change in a town ordinance to allow for the switch to regular workshops on Mondays.
• Proposed building height regulations.
For more information, pick up a copy of Thursday's Nov. 15 Longboat Observer.

- The new homes on LKB are springing up everywhere. Three new homes are under construction in the village alone. There are probably four or five going up on GMD and at least two in Bay Isles. People are investing in our community. That is good. The commission needs to do more to boost the residential real estate market. Getting rid of property blight is essential along with reasonable changes to property maintenance and appearance. Parking boat trailers behind homes is probably a good thing for surrounding home values. But something really must be done about Whitney Plaza. How many times, and for how many years, must we hear "check's in the mail" before we enforce state statutes on blighted commercial property?
I have been preaching, for the past four years, the need for our community to market our town thome-buyersrs nationally aninternationallyly. We need to make ourselves be seen above the real estate sales clutter. This is best done by the town government and a qualified marketing expert with a great track record.

The Heart and Science of Homebirth [1999. Eugene, Oregon, Midwifery Today. 46 pages comb-bound, compilation.] Order this book from Midwifery Today! Homebirth is a safe and viable option for many women. Indeed, in many situations, homebirth is more likely than hospital birth to result in a complication-free and satisfactory birth experience. As midwives and birth professionals weve known this in our hearts for many years, but it has taken decades of research and activism to demonstrate this scientifically. Marsden Wagner has said many times, "Research is on the side of midwives." Midwifery Today offers a unique tool to midwives, childbirth educators, parents, indeed anyone who has an interest in promoting homebirth as a positive birth choice. The Heart and Science of Homebirth is a compelling combination of the heart of homebirththe emotional and social reasons homebirth is desirable, and the science of homebirththe research which has consistently found homebirth to be every bit as safe as, and in some cases safer than, hospital birth. Over 90 citations of specific journal articles, discussion papers, books and studies form the backbone of the book. Abstracts and analyses of research from around the world build a rock-solid case for homebirth practitioners. Contents
Please see the article, The Homebirth Choice, which was written specifically for parents considering homebirth. To Order:

It's T-minus 8 months until the much-anticipated Baz Luhrmann adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary classic, The Great Gatsby hits Australian cinemas. Set in the early '20s, it's a moving representation of the American Dream with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the lead role of mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. Along with Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Joel Edgerton, the cast recreates the love, drama, and tragedy associated with the famous novel in a world where "the parties were bigger, the morals were looser, and the liquor was cheaper."
For those who can't wait till December to see the film, enjoy the trailer!

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Back stage Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2008-9 Ready-To-Wear Fendi 21 February 2008 IN A TIME when, despite controversy, the majority of designers have at least one fur effort in their autumn/winter collections, Fendi felt the need to raise the bar this season - a gold bar, in fact. Using a new (not to mention patented) technological method of depositing gold onto pelts of fur, Lagerfeld showed an impressive collection of mink and fox fur that literally glowed as the models waltzed down the runway. In case those in the front row hadn't quite realised, one completely gold mini skirt, teamed with an oversized black cable-knit sweater, caught the eye. Other notable features of the collection were Lagerfeld's proportions - the clothes were kept short (but for a few floor-length evening gowns and one long, tight leather skirt that looked heavy and difficult to walk in), with lots of volume remaining a common theme. The cable-knit sweaters, belted at the waist, had thick, high necks with big, draped sleeves, while the navy caped coats were an understated luxury. The mini reigned supreme; Lagerfeld's collection of bubble-skirts, with fur trim in leather or cashmere, were the central element of the show. (February 21 2008, PM) Ally Pyle

text: In this week's Acton Commentary I briefly survey the prospects for urban gardens and farming in the city of Detroit. As Aaron M. Renn wrote in New Geography a few years ago, Detroit represents one of the places where significant urban innovation is possible. "It may just be that some of the most important urban innovations in 21st century America end up coming not from Portland or New York, but places like Youngstown and, yes, Detroit," writes Renn.

The London Team receives funding for several projects. These include;
Developing Access to Advice and Policy (DAAP)
The Developing Access to Advice and Policy Project is a partnership project with the Law Centres Federation to build the capacity and skills of member organisations. Funded by the London Councils, it aims to improve performance, organisational capacity, and the quality and sustainability of front-line advice organisations across London. It creates a stronger voice for advice services through responding to legislative changes, promoting the role of the sector, resourcing and positively influencing policy.
London Advice Strategy Support project
The London Advice Strategy Support project is funded by City Parochial Foundation under the priority area 'strengthening the voluntary sector'. The aim of the project is to sustain the not for profit agencies that are offering advice to the most disadvantaged and isolated people in London in developing advice strategies for their boroughs. The project will offer 1-2-1 support to 6 borough advice forums and local authorities per year to help them develop advice strategies. The advice strategies will promote more joined up work and improved referral capabilities locally, allowing better access to a wide array of advice services encompassing legal aid providers, local authority services, community groups and equalities organisations. The project will use templates to help guide local agencies to participate in the process, with focus groups and meetings to encourage local agencies of all sizes to feed into the strategy when appropriate for them.
The Governance Project was a two year project funded by the Big Lottery Fund ending in December 2009. The projects aim was to improve the skills and knowledge of trustees and not-for-profit company directors and to help them function well in a regulatory, policy and funding environment that is increasingly challenging. The Governance Project was developed jointly by Law Centres Federation and AdviceUK following requests for training and support from Trustees and Management Committees of advice agencies and Law Centres in London.
The Sustainable Advice Project (S.A.P.)
The Sustainable Advice Project was funded by The City Bridge Trust for three years ending in April 2009. The project enabled our members, and particularly small and medium sized agencies, to learn of alternative methods of sustaining their advice services. S.A.P helped advice organisations diversify their income and improve the quality of their advice services by addressing the weaker areas in applications, projects or organisational systems.
The Advice Forum Development Project
The Advice Forum Development Project was funded by the Big Lottery Fund for three years ending in February 2009. The project enabled us to provide longer term strategic support to local advice forums and their lead agencies across London. There are up to 24 advice forums located in 25 London boroughs. This project added value to the work AdviceUK has previously done in relation to advice forums and also enabled us to respond to requests from advice forums across London for longer term support, so helping local forums to continue to develop their work at a borough level.

Death Cab for Cutie
When: 8:30 p.m. Sunday
Where: Globili Main Stage
Ben Gibbard and band played Cincinnati last September and are back for an overdue encore. Sure, they get classified as emo or writers of overwrought songs, but in concert Gibbard is funny and both their old and new music resonates beyond the labels. They're a band who has been successful at being mainstream while maintaining their indie roots, which makes them ideal to headline a huge festival. Maybe if we're lucky they'll play a Postal Service song.

Anyone who is interested in increasing their happiness levels will inevitably be introducing some level of change in their lives. The last thirty days, during which I have taken part in the 30 Day Challenge programme with the Screw Work Let's Play team, John Williams and Selina Barker, have brought about a significant change in my life with the launch of my new positive psychology blog – The Happiness Experiment. My first step towards encouraging other people to find ways to increase their happiness was to focus on creating my own forum for sharing ideas and experiments. I have been been amazed how far I have come in the last 30 days, with a new blog set up and functioning and new Twitter and Facebook accounts in place to spread the word. I have an exciting 3 month plan of blog posts which I am really looking forward to share and although the design and layout of the blog is far from perfect I have acheived something in 30 days which it would otherwise have taken me months to get off the ground. Needless to say I am now a fan of 30 Day challenges.
I think 30 days is the perfect amount of time to focus on something new and I intend introducing new 30 day challenges in to my life on a regular basis. I am the first to admit that after 30 days of doing something new you are still very much a beginner, but if you are willing to be a beginner on a regular basis there is nothing to stop you acheiving anything you want. The 30 day challenge was all about buddying up and lending support and encouragement to other members of the challenge. This is an important lesson to learn for any change you wish to make in your life – it is much easier to see something through if someone else is working along side you and holding you accountable.
I hope the ideas and experiments which I will be sharing in this happiness blog will encourage you to make positive changes in your life. I would like to say a huge thank you to the 30 Day challenge team who have inspired many people to try out some fantastic and inspiring challenges. I have been blown away by the energy, courage and enthusiasm which so many have shown – it's very humbling so see what people are capable of. The official 30 Day challenge has now come to an end, but the idea of 30 day challenges has firmly taken root in my mindset. I can't wait to start my next personal 30 day challenge so watch this space. Take a look at this simple but inspiring video to see what new challenge you could try out over the next 30 days. Go on you know you want to……………..

Price Value Quality - I first tried this dryer at a hotel and couldn't believe how quickly it dried my very thick hair. I never would have considered paying this much for a hair dryer but it is well worth it. It used to take 15 minutes to get my hair almost dry and now it is totally dry in 5 minutes. ( comnc4 )
A dryer that'll blow you away!
Price Value Quality - If you want a blow dryer that's powerful, this is the one. I travel for business and never leave home without it. There's NO way I could use hotel dryers after having this one. Great product! ( D. Wilson )

NEW YORK – Comments on the Denver Broncos by the AP Pro32 panel (employer, ranking in parentheses):
Denver Broncos (4)
Chris Berman (ESPN, 7): Five straight wins with 30 points or more.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 3): Von Miller is keeping opposing quarterbacks awake at night.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 3): Manning and the Broncos have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way. Watch out!
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 6): Three more TDs for Peyton Manning and three more sacks for Von Miller add up to a convincing win over San Diego. Looks like Denver will cruise to the divisional title and perhaps even a trip to New Orleans in February.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 5): The Broncos have won five games in a row, the longest current winning streak in the AFC. That matches the five-game winning streak by the Packers in the NFC.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 6): Broncos may be most complete team in the AFC, even without Willis McGahee. Remember, Peyton Manning took the Colts to a Super Bowl with the 32nd-ranked running game.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 6): It's all over in the AFC West as Peyton Manning forges a new beginning.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 4): The Bronco machine led by Peyton Manning is looking good, and the defensive effort with pass rushers and the return of DJ Williams makes them tough.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 4): The Broncos are better every week in all three phases. With MVP candidates on both sides of the ball in Peyton Manning and Von Miller, watch out!
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 2): The Broncos have all but won the AFC West, but Denver must hope losing running back Willis McGahee (leg) doesn't disrupt the team's offensive rhythm.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 4): This team has scored 30 or more in five straight games and might be the hottest team in football. Are they peaking too soon?

1 ferry out of San Juan Islands service
Friday, October 7, 2011
ANACORTES, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington state ferry system says riders in the San Juan Islands can expect delays through the weekend and into next week while a ferry is out for repair.
The Yakima was taken out of service Friday because of abnormal wear on a propulsion shaft bearing.
The ferry system is shifting some vessels but they will not be able to carry as many vehicles on the route between Anacortes and the islands.

- Description
This L-shaped, tubular airlock was added to Endeavour's Payload Bay in 1997. Prior to this, an airlock existed internally in the Mid-deck of the Crew Module between the toilet and a bank of computers and storage lockers. An external airlock allowed not only more area in the cramped Mid-deck but also access both out into the Payload Bay for spacewalks and up, vertically, to connect with the International Space Station.
This airlock has been removed from Endeavour and will not be displayed at the California Science Center. Instead, it'll likely be incorporated into a future spacecraft.
