Some are smaller than grains of salt. Others are big as grapefruit. They come in beautiful colors and intriguing shapes. Each holds a wonder of the most wonderful sort: a new life, bundled up in this tiny container that provides everything the creature needs to grow.
Most animals develop outside their mothers in special shelters we know as eggs. Some eggs are soft, protected from the world by thin membranes. Others are hard, surrounded by a tough shell or case. Turtles, toads, spiders, snails, fish, birds, insects, and crayfish all hatch from eggs.
Eggs develop inside female animals. An egg starts with a single cell, called an ovum, in the mother's ovary. The mother's body makes food, called yolk, for the ovum-much as someone might pack you a lunch if you were going away. Then the ovum sets off on a journey. It travels down a tube called an oviduct. Along the way, it gathers other parts, such as membranes and a shell. At the end, the mother squeezes the finished egg out of her body.
To make a new animal, most eggs must be fertilized-the ovum must combine with a sperm cell from a male. In some animals, such as birds and insects, the egg is fertilized inside the mother. In other animals, such as frogs and fish, the ovum and sperm join outside the mother's body.
On the bottom of a milkweed leaf hangs a tiny white speck. It is an egg, deposited by a female monarch butterfly.
Inside it, things are as busy as McDonald's at lunchtime. Cells are dividing and changing to make up different body parts. Four days after the egg was laid, a fully formed caterpillar will nibble its way out.
Most insects lay eggs. Some eggs are long and skinny, like miniature hot dogs. Some are shaped like footballs. They may be brown, green, yellow, or white.
Insects lay their eggs where the young will be able to find food when they hatch. Some, such as the monarch, glue their eggs to leaves of specific "host" plants they need to survive. Some wasps lay eggs inside juicy caterpillars. Acorn weevils lay theirs inside acorns. Stable flies lay eggs in manure because their young eat manure when they hatch.
Grasshoppers and cockroaches enclose their eggs in a container called an egg case or ootheca. This helps protect the eggs from predators and from drying out.
When it comes time to hatch, baby insects swallow liquid and air from inside the egg to make their head swell. Then they push against the eggshell and pop out.
Some insect eggs serve as time capsules to help the population survive harsh conditions. If the weather becomes very hot or very cold, the embryo (developing insect) may enter a state called diapause, in which development stops. It will stay this way until living conditions improve.
Invertebrates (animals without backbones) lay eggs in many places. Pond snails lay their eggs on plants under the surface of the water. Spiders spin silken cases around their eggs and hide or carry them. Crayfish carry their eggs in a special holding spot under their abdomen. Freshwater clams shelter eggs in their gills.
Have you ever seen a nightcrawler with a fat ring around its body? The ring, called a clitellum, helps a nightcrawler care for its eggs. The clitellum produces a ring of slime that slips off the nightcrawler's body, gathering eggs. Then the slime closes and hardens into a protective case for the eggs. You might find these lemon-shaped egg cases, which are a little bit smaller than a pea, in the soil in your garden.
Imagine starting your life in a bowl full of jelly! That's just what would happen if you were a frog.
A gellike material encases frog and toad eggs. When the mother first lays the eggs, you can't see this layer. But when the material soaks up water, it swells to form a thick, clear coating. The coating keeps the embryos from drying and helps protect them from germs, predators, and bumps. It also serves as a greenhouse. The dark embryos soak up the sun's light rays, and the warmth helps them grow.
Minnesota frogs and toads lay their eggs in water. Spring peepers lay 800 to 1,000 eggs, each with its own jelly coat. Pickerel frogs encase their eggs in one big jelly blob. American toads lay their eggs in strings that can stretch more than 60 feet long.
Salamanders are closely related to frogs and toads. Some salamanders lay eggs in water, and some lay them on land.
Most amphibians abandon their eggs after they lay them. But some watch over their eggs. Mudpuppies guard their eggs until they hatch. Redback salamanders lay eggs among rocks or under a log, then they curl around the eggs to protect them.
In early spring walleyes move to shallow, clear water to spawn-lay their eggs. A female walleye can produce 200,000 eggs or more. Males fertilize them after they leave her body. The pinhead-size eggs fall to the bottom of the lake among stones, where they are protected from predators.
After a week or two, baby fish emerge. The baby fish, called fry, still have a ball of yolk inside them, so they don't need to eat food for several days.
Other species of fish have different egg-laying habits. Some, such as trout, build nests for their eggs. Bullhead and crappie males care for the eggs until they hatch.
A painted turtle crawls out of a pond. She goes uphill to dry land and digs a hole. Then she lowers her back end into the hole and slowly squeezes out a round, white egg about the size of a ping-pong ball. Plop! When she has laid four to 20 eggs in the hole, she paddles soil on top of them with her hind legs.
Over the next couple of months, the embryos inside the eggs grow. When the baby turtles hatch, they dig their way up to the surface and crawl down to the pond.
Some snakes lay eggs in holes too. Other snakes and lizards produce eggs that develop and hatch inside their bodies. Then they give birth to live young. This is called ovoviviparity.
Bird eggs come in many shapes, colors, textures, and sizes. The shapes vary greatly, from the round eggs of owls, to songbirds' oval eggs (slightly larger at one end), to shorebird eggs with one pointed end. Some eggs are cone-shaped or elliptical.
Bird eggs may be blue, brown, or white. Eggs of birds that nest in grasslands and other open places have drab colors, splotches, and scrawls that help hide them from predators. Cavity-nesting birds, such as flickers, usually have plain white eggs because their eggs are tucked away, out of sight of predators.
Textures vary from the chalky white of heron eggs to the waxy green of mallard eggs. Egg sizes vary too. Trumpeter swans lay Minnesota's biggest bird eggs-the size of mangoes. Ruby-throated hummingbirds lay the smallest-the size of Tic-Tacs.
Bird eggs develop inside the mother. First the yolk forms. As the yolk travels down the oviduct, it gathers albumen (white), membranes, and shell. In many birds, cells surrounding the egg add color to the shell. All-over colors are produced early in the egg's development. Farther down the oviduct, the egg may pick up bits of color that make spots and streaks.
The number of eggs laid depends on the species. Hummingbirds and eagles usually lay two eggs. Ducks might lay 10 eggs or more. One of the parents (usually the mother) sits on the eggs to keep them warm.
When it comes time to hatch, the baby bird pecks its way though the shell with its egg tooth. This pointed tip on its bill falls off soon after hatching.
Egg Part Names
Note: Not all eggs have all of these parts.
aeropyles tiny holes that allow air to move in and out of the egg
albumen nutrient-rich substance (the "white" of chicken eggs)
allantois bag-shaped membrane that carries food and air to the embryo and serves as a wastebasket
amnion membrane that holds the liquid surrounding the embryo
animal pole dark half of amphibian egg
blastocoele liquid-filled space inside the ball of cells that will form the embryo
blastoderm cells that will form the embryo
chalaza rubbery string that suspends the embryo in the middle of the egg
chorion shell or membrane
embryo the developing animal
jelly coat jellolike material surrounding some eggs
micropyle tiny hole that lets sperm into the egg to fertilize it, then closes
shell outer, protective layer of an egg
shell membranes thin layers that line the inside of the shell
vegetal pole light-colored half of amphibian egg
wax layer layer that resists water
yolk material that provides food for the developing embryo
yolk sac membrane surrounding the yolk

Police given more time to question James Allen
Police have been granted more time to question a man who went on the run after two people were killed in separate attacks.
James Allen, 36, was arrested in Leeds on Sunday after he was spotted by an off-duty police officer.
He is being questioned by Cleveland Police following the murder last week of 81-year-old Colin Dunford in Middlesbrough and 50-year-old Julie Davison in Whitby, North Yorkshire.
Allen is being held at a police station in Middlesbrough on suspicion of the two murders and a sexual assault.

on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 07:03 am
RE: mattMatt, for the intervals, if they're all out it'll be noted via a "TT" at the end. The deviation range of +/- 5-10 seconds means you should be doing all three within that time frame, so you won't be going all out.
on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 07:22 am
SS RunDone on treadmill at 1% incline.
The pacing today was just right for me. It wasn't too fast so I was able to maintain good form throughout all intervals and it wasn't so slow that I would consider it easy. I'm not a great runner to begin with (which is why I'm here) so I will be sticking to the treadmill and focus on form and consistent pacing which I found hard to do running on the uneven terrain around me. Once the weather clears up and the dirt roads level out, I'll head back outside. By then, I should be spot on with form and pacing.

10k PR!I decided to go on a local group run this morning and PR'd big time. I was able to keep up with the front runners and hit 41:50 which is an 8 minute PR.
on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 11:00 am
Re: 10K PR and MattGreat job, Andy! That had to have felt amazing!
Matt, as a recovering LSD addict too, it is tough to break away. I would love to say it gets easier, but as spring gets closer and everyone is building a "base" right now, it is tough. It's hard to have to wait until race day to show what you've done while they were asleep.
Hang in there, buddy; I have got your back. (I say this as I resist a strong temptation to cut work and do a long brick today. Weather is just too nice).

feel like poo....that sucked...3x 1mile....saturday 5k's were easier..today is one of those days where you lose motivation. I know it was a hard workout I just couldn't hit where I know I could and that wasn't because of sore or tired legs. they ranged from 6:15-6:20...my last mile on saturday was a 5:50. Just a frustrated runner, we all have bad days and they make the "good" days all the sweeter..just venting, oh, and once again-that sucked.

2/23/12 WODGreat article on the benefits Crossfit can provide triathletes. I can attest my power,speed, and strength have improved over the past three years since I started CFE. I don't feel wore down after periods of time either like I did with LSD training and I look forward to training rather than dreading going out for a 2+ hour run or 3 hour bike. Finally, training is fun. Full rest today except for stretching and mobility work this morning and during school. Gonna hit the run tomorrow on the treadmill because of the snow storm that is coming to MI. Hope to play basketball if school is cancelled too.

Just StartingToday was my second day doing Crossfit Endurance. I finsihed a marathon two weeks ago (3:56) and am trying this new training to do better next time.
The 3 x 1 miles were tough (6:30; 6:25; 6:50) and I lost it on the last one. But Brad is right; it is so much better than a LSD! Let's get some Burpees tomorrow!
on Friday, February 24, 2012 at 05:20 am
EnochThere will be about 10 days of the what I call the bitchies when you start eating Paleo. Plan all your meals out in advance, even if you are eating out, plan ahead of what is at the restaurant. Your success will be entirely dependent on your preplanning. Do not leave yourself without options for food. Have options in your car, pocket, desk, gym locker - everywhere.
Aside from the 10 days of bitchies and drop off in performance, you have plenty of time to switch to a Paleo style diet before your race. Just remember that there will be a little bit of a drop off in performance, but it comes back strong and quick.

EnochSome people adapt really quickly to Paleo, and others (like myself) take a while. It took me a good 30-40 days to get my nutrition dialed-in good enough that I wasn't passing out on runs or getting sick during WODs.
You're going to have figure out your carb allowances and where you'll source them from... some people's bodies do very well adapting right away. I guess it will really depend on how "clean" your diet is before you start "strict" Paleo. I'd start avoiding grains and overly-processed foods as soon as you can.

The multi-genre, multi-talented Ozomatli comes full circle with the release of PLACE IN THE SUN, their new album available on March 11, 2014. The album marks their debut on Vanguard Records. Produced by the band and longtime friend, world renowned engineer Robert Carranza (Eels, Jack Johnson, The Mars Volta) and featuring collaborations with legendary rocker Dave Stewart (ex-Eurythmics)and Xandy Barry of WAX Ltd, PLACE IN THE SUN is Ozomatli's testament to the struggles, determination, and joy one finds in searching – and ultimately finding – their true calling. And after nearly twenty years of working together, touring on every continent, performing before hundreds of thousands, earning international acclaim, and winning multiple Grammys along the way – Ozomatli have earned their right to shine. PLACE IN THE SUN is a strong statement from a group of maturing musicians who have firmly placed their imprint onto an ever-changing music scene.
Earlier this year, Ozomatli previewed some of PLACE IN THE SUN'S new songs, including "Brighter," "Tus Ojos," "Paleta," and "Burn it Down," during KEXP's SXSW showcase in Austin. Click here and see the band's incredible dynamic live show.
Having originated in East Los Angeles, the city and its elements are firmly at Ozomatli's core. The city, likewise, shares a mutual admiration for the band, as evidenced by the band's partnerships with the Los Angeles Dodgers and, perhaps more impressively, the Los Angeles City Council's proclamation of every April 23rd as "Ozomatli Day." Reaching far beyond the city limits, though, the band has also served as Cultural Ambassadors for the U.S. State Department, collaborated with the Boston and New York Pops Orchestras, and they were the first band to be asked to give a musical talk at the TED Conference in San Francisco. View the band's impressive career highlights here.
PLACE IN THE SUN is destined to take its place alongside a litany of Ozomatli classics, taking tried and true formulas and injecting new life into them – new energies, new experiences. The album's power comes from the way the band continues to work together, composing, recording, and fashioning live jams into polished, indelible songs. "When we put together that title track, I told Justin [Poree, the track's lyricist/vocalist] to find the deeper meaning of what it takes to create your own place in the sun," says guitarist Raul Pacheco. "How do you create a space in a way that you can shine, and what does that mean? For us it means the work it takes, the struggle it takes, and the joy we had once we got it."

I am SO TIRED and covered in paint. I taped off the windows and front door and spent my day hand painting the front porch whilke my DS used the blower to to the larger open expanses of the house. He has painted about half the house from his shoulders down. We have covered the mortar with paint on the first pass. My DS plans to make a final pass with a roller when the first run is finished, ust to give the face of the bricks a second coat.
I could slap the people who painted this house. It was a pink brick house and those numbsculls painted it darked mud green. Why in the world did they do that? I have almost worn my right arm and elbow out scrubbing the paint into the mortar.
I spoke to my mother when I finally called myself through for the day. They kept my father up until almost 7 PM. I asked my mother if he was able to help much and she was so cautious in what she said I know he didn't do much on his own behalf.
A doctor visited today. It must have been one of the hospitalists because my father's doctor is out of town for the weekend. The doctor said he would be there several days getting the IV antiobiotics so I hope his participation improves by they finish the antiobiotics.
It is almost 8:30 PM here and my DS is still out spraying paint. I have not made dinner. I can barely move. My DS says he is going to take me to find food but if he doesn't stop spraying soon and come in I am not going to be able to go. Right now I could eat cheese and crackers and call it dinner.
Wow! I just read that. I didn't realize I was THAT tired. So many typos…
Morning all! I didn't post yesterday but I did keep up with the chatter.
Lady Hawke I feel tired at the very thought of painting anything, lol. I exceeded my usual hard breathing exercise experience yesterday by going downstairs three times! Once to collect my bottle of milk from the front of the porch, once to top up my phone and buy a couple of bread rolls and my final trip was to collect the evening paper which has the TV programmes for the week and I treated myself to a chocolate-covered icecream. Can't you tell that my DS is not at home?
Our weather has been very showery for several days so this is good news for the garden and farmer's crops. My DS has seen a fair bit of rain in Wales, too, but he is among ukulele enthusiasts so he is happy.
Must finish my breakfast.
We are up, feeling hit by a truck. We did go to dinner last night but my daughter and I were really too tired to eat.
My mother has called. They had a bad night at the hospital. His blood pressure went very high, so high they called his doctor on vacation in Bermuda in the middle of the night, changing his medication twice during the night. Then, he started losing all the fluid they had been pumping into him and it was uncontrolable so the bed had to be changed multiple times. Someone moved his urinal when they were in the room and mother couldn't find it in time.
Then, they moved him to another floor in the middle of the night. So, it was awful there. Mother had a short list of needs which I will acquire and deliver as we go to pick up more paint.
I am making chicken tikka masala before I go out to paint so I can have it in the refrigerator for our dinner when we come in exhausted tonight.
I have set the alarm on my phone to wake me up to purchase the park tickets at 11 PM Central time. I do not want to risk falling asleep and not getting them.
Lady Hawke Good heavens! Why does everything have to happen at once? Sending you more energy to get you through this.
My DS was back home earlier than he had anticipated so several "miracles" had not been accomplished, lol. Despite the weather everyone had enjoyed themselves, getting together and making music. He took two of his "novelty" ukes for inspection: these are unconventional in design, materials and construction but perfectly viable, good-toned instruments and people were intrigued and impressed.
This evening's TV does not look promising, I think a DVD might be called for.
Leaky Night at the Park tix are now on sale for everyone!!!! I've left messages for LH and Rhi but in case you guys don't hear them and check here first, go get your tickest!!!
Also, don't freak out if you are trying to do your second ot third, etc., ones and it tells you "there was an error and a duplicate transaction has gone through" it is just a delay in processing the credit card and will clear up after a few minutes.
We have all of ours, we are SET!!!! WAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! What a relief!
Also, LH my continued prayers for your Dad, your Mom and yourself, and also adding lots of energy to Graymayne's. {{{{{{MAJOR HUGS}}}}}}
I hope the tix for the event at the WWoHP don't run out soon! I'm planning to purchase my registration and tix tomorrow after I get paid.
I actually went to Universal yesterday and I can't wait for LeakyCon! And I got my brother to FINALLY ride the Dragon Challenge rollercoasters and the Hulk! He already loved rollercoasters because he had gone on the Mummy ride at Universal and Space Mountain at Disney, but for some reason outdoor coasters with loops scared him. Well not anymore! Now he is addicted like his older brother :D
Also yesterday I did two new things at the WWoHP. I finally saw the Ollivander's mini show and I tried the chocolate trifle at the Three Broomsticks. Loved both :)
LH sending lots of prayers and strength your way! Hoping your dad has a speedy recovery!
DH: Part II trailer just played during the season finale fo Survivor! :-D
I have just come in from painting. I did get a message from LEMON while painting and went in, paint and all, and purchased our WWoHP tickets. I have my confirmations.
I am waiting for my DS to clean up enough to have dinner.
Again, I am SO TIRED.
We saw my father and mother before we started painting today. They have pulled my father off the IV antibiotics and have now put him on IV meds for the blood pressure situation. The emphasis of treatment has turned from pneumonia and urinary track infection to blood pressure. The top number went up to 220. I don't know what the bottom number was. It goes up and down and all over the place. That was probably what was going on when he was going limp on us.
FELIPE, I'm glad you are registering. I would think the tickets will hold out until tomorrow. The price is prohibitive enough that a lot of people are probably having to scrape to come up with it at the exact moment the tickets are available.
Yay, Felipe! That is excellent news! I'm sure they will still be available tomorrow, but I'd do it ASAP after you get paid, just in case. It's a very nice feeling to have it all settled. Now we just have to go through all this twice more, for the movie tix and for the keynotes. Then, DONE. I can't wait for that!
Actually, I have one more little thing to handle still. I already purchased our regular park tickets, but I just got the two-day, two-park ones, figuring that would be all we'd be able to manage due to our schedule. But it occurred to me, at only $10 more per person, that getting the four-day, two-park pass was a much better deal. That way, if any family members are bored with LeakyCon programming (I can't imagine, but you never know. LemonCharm, I'm looking at you!), they can go to the park for a bit on days other than our regularly planned ones, and if the movie premiere is not Tuesday night when we get in and we're all feeling rambunctious after the flight, we can hook up with our Leaky peeps and go into the park that night, too. I just like the idea of having as many options as possible. Even if we don't use all four days, for $50 total price difference it's good to have that option.
I emailed Leaky about it already and the gal just got back to me saying she'd refund the originals, then I could buy the new ones. Since those won't sell out there's not as much urgency to get the new ones, though I do want it all handled again. But after the nightmare of refunds during the original registration thanks to Paypal, I will wait until the refund posts to my CC before I buy the replacements. Just in case…
LH continued prayers for your Dad. I'm so glad you got your tix!
LH once again, my best to your dad hoping for a most speedy recovery!
Lemon and LH, question… do you need to use the same card on the tickets for the WWoHP event that you used to purchase the registration? Like once you register your card is on file and everything goes under that card, or can you use a different card?
You can use a different card. You need to go to the bottom of the Registration page and change the card before you click on Buy.
Thanks LH! Guess what…
I was able to use two different cards …
and …
I'm all registered AND I got my tickets for the Open at the Close event!!! :-D
WAHOOOOOOOO, Felipe!!!!!!! HOOORAY!!!!! That's awesome, I can't wait for us all to be together! Now we just need to work on getting MM and a few others there, too…
Yay, I'm happy dancing!
OMG, Open at the Close for LeakyCon is ALREADY more than 50% SOLD OUT!!!! WOW!
Thank goodness I already got mine! I guess my fears were justified!!
I can't wait either, Lemon!! OMG!!! I'm so excited!!! Now I need to figure out the hotel situation, but I'm taking things one step at a time… I think I'm gonna take a look around the Leaky Lounge to see if there are any people looking to share a room at the on-site hotels, otherwise I might go with the off-site hotel, or I don't know… I'm not making an informed decision right now, so I'll stop speculating… For now I'm just gonna let myself enjoy the fact that I'm registered and got my ticket to the WWoHP event. I'll worry again a little later :-P
I know MM might be coming, but unless she gets the full registration I don't think she can do OatC :-( MM I hope you can do it!!! And even if you can't get the full registration, I hope you can make it down here for a meet-up!!
So Lemon, LH, Rhi and myself got tickets. Has Jen gotten her ticket to Open at the Close? Am I missing anyone else?
And also, have any of you guys gotten tickets to the Very Starkid Event?
Felipe I'm SO glad you got your tickets already, too, at the rate the OatC event is selling, they will all be gone by tomorrow!
Jen has her ticket already, and she, Rhi and I all have StarKid tix, too. I can't remember if LH got those or not, I think she did. Jen, LH, LittleHawke and LP and I are also going to LitDay, but I can't remember if Rhi is going to that one. It's a lot to keep track of who is doing what! LOL It's really getting so exciting now as everything starts to ramp up, I can hardly contain myself! Only 56 days to go!!!
I purchased the Star Kid tickets as soon as they were available.
The only thing we are attending at Lit Day is Levine's Keynote.
Much to do today and I didn't sleep well again. I think paint fumes are a problem for me.
FELIPE, meant to say WHOO HOO!
My DS does not feel well either. We have remembered the last time we painted was inside and when we used the primer coat we felt awful. Last night I woke up drenched as if I had sweated off a fever. The funny thing is we both started telling each other at the same time that our hands that are covered in paint feel particularly bad,
I can hear my daughter awake in her room coughing. She wasn't painting but she was working in the garden.
Lady Hawke I'm very worried about your Dad. Too many things going wrong at the same time. I hope you have some good news this morning.
It has been cold and rainey here this weekend. We went to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and family home Saturday. It is not too far from where Jen lives. It was very interesting. She had a wood cook stove that was very similar to my Grandmother's. I think the only difference was the color. Her's had green accents while my Grandmother's had red accents. I got a post card with the picture of it. Other than that, I have just been taking it easy.
All your talk about getting ready for Leaky Con has made me excited for you.
I am going out looking for some close fitting gardening gloves so my hands won't be so awkward. I hate surgical gloves as they make my hands sweat. I also need to pick up some more masks. My DS wants goggles too.
COOLG, I've always wanted to go to Laura Ingalls Wilder's home. Did you take lots of photos?
Morning all!
The bridal shower yesterday went well, and despite my nervousness, it wasn't so bad seeing my old high school friends. Definitely not as awkward as at the high school reunion 5 years ago, because the setting was more comfortable. And I wound up staying the full four hours, rather than using the open house format as an excuse to duck out early. They did ask me to come to the bachelorette party next month, and seeing my hesitation, they assured me that it's a weekend event, with the Friday being just a lowkey dinner, if I want to come to that. I can skip the Saturday night of going out and partying. So, it should work out. :)
I was really tired when I got home from that though, so I decided to skip the HP-MA meet-up. I would've been late anyway, and it was raining, so the drive up wouldn't have been much fun. I did go with my sisters to see my mom. It turned out that she had come down with my aunt and uncle; she is having her liver tested to see if she's eligible to donate a portion to my aunt. It was the first time we'd seen my aunt since her scary hemmorhaging incident last fall, so it was a surprise to see her looking pretty well. But she's still got a lot of problems, and if she can't get the liver transplant, she's only got 2 years max because the stents they put in are only good for that long. Once they fail, she'd hemmorhage again, and apparently there wouldn't be anything they could do at that point. Unfortunately, her doctor in Maine either can't or won't do the transplant (I'm not sure of the reasons.) so they've been referred to a specialist in Boston. If she can get the transplant and build up her strength, then she could next get a knee replacement. That's her other big issue right now, as she can't get around at all, but can't have the replacement done because of the condition of her liver. So, lots of obstacles to overcome, but still an amazing turnaround from what the prognosis was in Sept. I keep saying that if I hadn't seen her for myself and heard what her doctors were saying when they'd come into the room when we went up there, I would have been sure my mother had been exaggerating (which she has been known to do!).
LH, I'm really sorry to hear you're dad's treatment hasn't been as straightforward as it had seemed at first. But hopefully this blood pressure thing was the issue all along and now that they've identified it, he'll be able to properly recover. I hope your family is doing better today with your own post-paint recoveries. Is it possible you're allergic to the paint?
Yay, Felipe! I'm so glad you're coming to LeakyCon! I snatched up my Open at the Close ticket within an hour of them going on sale to Rock Stars, LOL. But definitely thanks for thinking of me! :) And as Lemon said, I do have Lit Day and StarKid tickets as well.
CoolG, I'd love to go to Laura Ingalls Wilder's house. I got really excited when you said it was close to where Jen lives, thinking, "Really? How did I not know that; I must go ASAP!" before realizing you must mean your daughter, LOL!
Morning, all! I'm up early due to a reflexology appointment for my feet. A good thing, since the son was late. AGAIN. LD has been taking him to school for me on her way to work since I stay up so late, which is really nice for me, but she is not so great at motivating him to be up and ready on time. He's going to be grounded again this weekend because of it, he's definitely old enough to be responsibly getting himself up on time. Today, though, he would have made her late to work since she had to be there early, definitely not okay, so I sent her on and took him myself. He was not happy, since I was clearly not happy with him. I hate having mornings like this where we part on angry terms, it always freaks me out and makes me upset all day long.
I was planning to go straight to my appointment but had to come back here to find our current vehicle registration, which I'd thought was in the car where it belongs…. but no, it wasn't. So I'm just grabbing that and heading back out so we can get our new plates after my foot appointment. As long as it's still available, the new one will be GRFFNDR. Appropriate, yes? LOL The version with the "Y" in it is already taken, but I'm pretty sure people can sound this one out adequately.
CoolG how fun! I'd love to go to her house. Those books were some of the first series books I read myself as a kid. I was never that big a fan of the TV show, but I loved the books. I'm glad you're taking it easy and having a good time at your daughter's.
LH I hope you feel a lot better! Paint fumes make me sick, too. Be careful.
Jen I'm so glad you enjoyed the shower! I hope you have fun at the bachelorette dinner, too. Sounds like fun! And WOW on your aunt. :( Poor thing, that's a lot of obstacles. But she seems to have proven she's pretty tough already, so hopefully she will keep fighting and get through this next big one so she can move on to the knee and any other issues she needs resolved. My dad needs a liver transplant, too, but they won't even put him on the list at this point. His health is just not good enough, and I suspect they have put him in the "too old" category now. Which sucks, but he just keeps trucking along.
Okay, I better run, have a good Monday, everyone!
Cool day today. Temps in the 50's.
New laptop arrived this morning but I need to do some shopping and stuff befor setting it up.
Of course the old laptop seems to be working perfectly all of the sudden. I think it knows.
Have fun with the new laptop, Ironsos! I think computers are like hair cuts. I'll be desperate to get it cut because it's driving me absolutely crazy, finally make the appointment, and for the solid three days prior to that appointment, all of a sudden, my hair will look perfect with no extra work on my part. I think it knows. Just like computers. They just know… Scary, eh? LOL
I'm just back for a minute after my reflexology appointment. I can't say yet whether it will have any real, lasting benefit or if it just felt heavenly during and for the short-term afterward, but I will say, if you haven't indulged yourself in this way yet. get thee hither. OMG! Such bliss. I kept falling asleep on the poor girl, but it was totally fabulous. If I win the lottery someday, I am booking this weekly. :)
Lemon, what is reflexology exactly? Is it done through a doctor's office, or is it more like a treatment that is done at a massage parlor or pedicure place?
Doctor Who fans may get a kick out of this new Threadless t-shirt design (with a slight HP connection thanks to the owls, LOL). I really love the David Tennant owl! :) http://www.threadless.com/product/2899/Doctor_Hoo/tab,girls/style,shirt

A change in the Virginia High School League rule book is giving coaches the opportunity to work with their athletes year round, something that's never been allowed in years past.
"Many coaches have been penalized for doing illegal coaching in the off season," says Northside athletic director, Butch Tyree. "I don't know if they were tired of fighting the illegal things going on, or finally realized to just let the coaches work with kids in the off season."
It's a change that both coaches and athletes have been noticing.
"From this year to last year is completely different," says Northside football player, Jacob Plasser. "Last year we just stood around and talked, this year you have a certain time limit to get your lift done."
In an effort to keep athletes from getting burnt out and give them a chance to focus on other sports as well, the rule designates several "dead periods" throughout the year. During these times, no athletes are allowed to practice.
"It's hard on me," says Northside's Coach Torrence. "I want to be around them. These are my kids. I love my kids, they're as important in my life as my own offspring. And if you're going to ask them to be committed, then how can I not be committed?"
A commitment that coaches and players hope pays off in their quickly approaching season.
From softball to football and even golf, a new Virginia High School League rule is giving student athletes the chance to practice their sport year round. Northside High School's Coach Torrence says getting to run plays and put on some of their gear, helps get the student athletes excited during their off months. It's a chance for them to focus on some of their major skill sets throughout the summer, before the season begins in August.

Exploring the benefits of caffeine
Posted On April, 1, 2014
Being successful at playing a sport, whether it is baseball, football or soccer, takes a great deal of focus and concentration.
Dramatically improve your vertical leap
Posted On March, 27, 2014
Every athlete playing a major sport like basketball, baseball or football, has spent time, money and energy adding inches to their vertical leap. Individuals who can jump higher in these sports simply have a better chance of outperforming their competitors in a game situation. Players with a great vertical leap can grab more rebounds, pull down off-target passes and make great catches on deep fly balls. By following these vertical leap exercises and applying proper jumping techniques, you can also increase the height of your jump and therefore improve your performance during competition.
Reduce your recovery time after workouts with these tips
Posted On March, 25, 2014
Every sport, from football to baseball and hockey, is physically demanding on the human body. In order to protect yourself from injury and perform at peak levels, you have to spend a lot of time at the gym building strength and endurance. However, one of the biggest setbacks athletes experience after hard exercise is muscle soreness. This might prevent you from staying with a workout routine and limit your performance on the field. Try out a few of these recovery tips designed to get you in the gym consistently:

Grayslake collector finds his "Wonderful Life"
Growing up, Richard Goodson, of Grayslake, didn't have the warm and loving family bond he craved.
"I grew up with limited means and difficult circumstances. There was no traditional Christmas."
That's why watching the1946 Frank Capra classic, "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time left such a lasting impression.
"It spoke to me on some level," said Goodson, an avid movie memorabilia collector who possesses thousands of items from "It's a Wonderful Life," from an original script and movie stills to call sheets and cast contracts.
Goodson's passion for collecting the film's memorabilia started in 1998, when his wife, Coleen, presented him with an 8x10 black and white photo of the Baileys, signed by Jimmy Stewart, who portrayed George.
It's taken years for Goodson to build his extensive collection, which he has to keep in storage. But nearly every Christmas season, he allows some of it to be displayed at a different venue with no compensation, for the public to enjoy.
Last year, the Village of Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum hosted the display.
"I have a lot of fun showing the items," he said. "I can never show it all at once though, it's too large. There's no venue to hold it all."
Items from Goodson's collection will be displayed at the American Blues in Chicago on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2:30 p.m., at the 100th performance of "It's a Wonderful Life: Live at the Biograph!"
Over the years, Goodson's love for the film has brought him many wonderful experiences, including a longstanding friendship with Karolyn Grimes, who portrayed Zuzu Bailey.
Goodson contributed photos and his thoughts on the appeal of the film to Grimes' latest book, "Celebrating It's a Wonderful Life: How the Movie's Message of Hope Lives On."
Goodson said his favorite line from the film was delivered by the angel character, Clarence: "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
Does Goodson ever grow tired of the film? Nah. "I only watch it once a year," he said.
People from across the country, and around the world, have contacted Goodson to share their memories of the film.
One e-mail from Goodson received from a young man in Rome, Italy, particularly struck his heart:
"It's a Wonderful Life" has a special meaning for my life: It was my dad's favorite movie and he used to watch it every year, during all the Christmas period, especially during Christmas Eve. We watched this movie thousands of times and every single time, we used to cry like a baby. He also had a period in his life, very similar to George Bailey's and so he could see himself in this character.
Unfortunately my dad died last year, and this is the 2nd Christmas I'm going to spend without him. Now I love and hate Christmas at the same time, because I cannot imagine this happy period without my dad, but I cannot avoid looking at this movie at least 2-3 times per year.
"This," said Goodson, "is why I maintain the collection."

Here's the conversation I would have had with my dad this morning, if he hadn't died last week:
Me: "Hi Dad!"
Dad: "Hey, old man! You're all safe back in New York?"
Me: "Yeah, got in just before two last night. Made it in just under nine hours! Eight hours and fifty-nine minutes, actually."
Dad: "My God, you're a wild man."
Me: "Yeah, I dunno, Google Maps says it should take eight hours and thirty-two minutes, but they've never been stuck behind a slow truck on Route 3." (My dad probably wouldn't have had much of a response to that; he didn't mind getting stuck behind a slow truck on Route 3, or any route, because he liked to drive 45 or 50, and not just in his old age.) "Ten hours door to door, I usually think, with, you know, moderate traffic. Although, I didn't take Route 3."
Dad: "Really?"
Me: "No-went-through-Bangor."
Dad: "But that adds a good fifteen, twenty miles." (You get to the Interstate much more quickly if you go via Bangor, you see. We've discussed the pros and cons of going through Bangor, as opposed to taking Route 3 to Augusta, for at least fifteen years -- since around the time I figured out that my dad, wiser than I in many ways, nonetheless didn't necessarily know the best routes to take from one place to another, even though he was my dad. Anyway, I always approached this Bangor-vs-Route-3 issue as if it were a new topic that we could bat around.)
Me: "Yeah, I know. Took the River Road. There's all the construction on 1A this summer. And I don't like 46; it gives me the creeps." (Route 46 is borderline Deliverance territory. That's no fair, actually: it's just not a nice drive, and you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, even by Maine standards.)
Dad: "Well, that's grand -- any traffic around Boston? I suppose not; must have been nine thirty..."
Me: "...Right, yeah, a little near Worcester and Hartford, nothing big. I did pick up the Wilbur Cross sooner off of 91 than I have before. Nice to get away from the trucks a little sooner, and you can still make good time."
Dad: "Now... The Wilbur Cross just becomes the Merritt, doesn't it?"
Me: "Yeah. I'm not sure where it happens. Some town line, I guess. Then over to the Saw Mill on --"
Dad: "Ooooooooh! So you do it that way even if you're going to Brooklyn?"
Me: "Sure; otherwise you'd have to -- I don't know, go over the Whitestone or something into Queens, then down the... something, I dunno; it'd be an ugly drive, anyway. Coming in in the West Side, though, it works better if you cut over to the East Side like you were taking 95, except that you don't; you get off and zip down the FDR. Better than West Side Highway traffic (unless it's rush hour cuz things can get snarled up there)... Hey, Dad? What's the thing about the Mosholu Parkway? The poem or something? 'My moon over Mosholu Parkway?' I always think of it when I come into the city that way, cuz you go under it..."
Dad: "Oh! Ahhhh, well... Perelman, S.J. Perelman. 'You're a double-malted with two scoops of whipped cream; you're the moon rising over the Mosholu Parkway'..."
Me: "Oh, right... Who was he, Perelman?"
...Christ, you're not asleep? I commend you on your stamina. Perhaps you've had a lot of coffee. Perhaps you kept reading because you thought something substantial would eventually be discussed. Yeah, sorry. Because that really could have been a Steve-and-Dad conversation -- although we would have switched it up after a bit and talked about Obama, or how we both regretted that we'd been cautiously in favor of the Iraq war, or Seinfeld, or how the internet worked.
But so my question is, who the fuck am I going to have that conversation with now? That stuff -- where the Wilbur Cross Parkway turns into the Merritt Parkway, for God's sake -- was stuff which my dad and I found interesting. Seriously! Go figure.
I was, in fact, on the Merritt near Greenwich last night when I realized that I'd made really good time to New York from Maine, and I thought about how I'd tell my dad about the good time I'd made, but quickly realized that I wouldn't be telling him about it at all, ever.

Following results for 218 drug-related searches over a nine month period in 2010 and 2011, the Carnegie Mellon team found one-third of the searches directed to infected sites with links to illicit online pharmacies.

Kirklees Tories: sell art not on public display
11:00am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
Some of Kirklees Council's art treasures should be sold off to fund frontline services, its Conservative group has said.
Conservative deputy leader, Councillor David Hall, said Kirklees Council owned more than £30m in art and other artefacts, some of which was so valuable that it could not be insured for public display.
Coun Hall said: "We own paintings by Lowry, Auerbach, Martin and Bacon, and a sculpture by Moore but no one gets to see them because they sit in our cellars. The public have no idea that we own them or what they are."

Provided by gwuilliums so that we could drink wheat while we were brewing with it.
A: Hazy yellow-gold color with virtually no head formation, even with an aggressive pour.
S: Very nice sweet malt and no small amount of clove and spice from the Belgian yeast.
T: Very malty. Excellent citrus hops. Some spiciness and clove and coriander.
M: Lack of carbonation makes this feel like some sort of imperial version - very syrupy.
D: The taste of this beer is really good. If they could bring the carbonation level up to what would be expected of a wheat beer, I would love to re-review this one.

poured into a pint glass
a murky yellowish color. no head at all. bad pouring technique probably.
a pleasant smell of wheat, coriander, and little clove.
taste of wheat and hints of citrus fruit. very refreshing. could be slightly stronger but still very good.
disappointing that there wasn't much head and carbonation. tastes almost flat. not quite medium bodied, but close. goes down smooth.
High on the drinkability scale. This was a very refreshing brew and would be great on a hot day. I would love to have this on tap and will definitely get it next time i visit the brewery.

12 oz. bottle into a pint glass
Pours a not so pretty cloudy golden-orange, a bit dark for a witbier really. Tons of suspended yeast, worries me. A half inch white head on top, falls to a skim rather quickly. Lacing is nonexistent.
Aromas of clove, wheat, orange citrus, bubble gum, yeast. Quite pleasing and inviting.
Taste is very wheaty, a strong bread character, light on the citrus, clovey phenols bringing up the rear with a bit of spiciness and the bubble gum esters coming out along with some apple.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy texture, but ultimately comes across as a bit thick for the style to me. Drinkability isn't that great, it's just not that good.
I was pretty disappointed with this one hoping for a nice witbier since I never see any around here. The taste profile was kind of a mess overall and didn't make me want to finish the beer and risk getting a case of the massive yeast shits.

Bottle acquired in trade with BBB63 (thanks!).
Poured a darker and cloudy yellow color with a small sized white head. Aromas of citrus, coriander and yeast. Decent witbier aromas. Tastes of the same although on the lighter side. Thinner and watery body.

bootleggers make trips
across state lines for wit beers
belgian treats for me
I was initially worried as I heard no distincitive pop when I opened the bottle, and absolutely No HEAD formed when I poured this into my glass. I was pleasantly surprised to take a sip and find that this was very delicious and quite refreshing. Unfortunately, winter has made a second run through Chicago and I may have to wait a few weeks to appreciate this beer on a warm spring day. I imagine that this is an excellent beer for hot summer days. It is light, fruity, and refreshing.

Picked up a growler of this at the brewery. It's a beautiful hazy orange (a friend said it looked like cloudy Tang). The aroma is good, with some spiciness coming through with just a bit of orange, and of course wheat. The taste is complex yet subtle. You definitely get the wheat, coriander, and orange, but also subtle hops and malts. It seems to have just the right amount of carbonation. I could drink this stuff all night.

I swear to got this is my witbier. I wonder if I could sue. I doubt it. I don't think they'd have access to my recipe. Chalk-cloudy yellow-tan body is topped by a fleeting white head. The aroma is sourish (almost like a dish rag, but not in a bad way) with coriander dominating slightly over the orange peel. The flavor is lightly tart, wheaty and nicely spiced. Excellent and flavorful. The only difference between this and my witbier is that my witbier is more acidic. This is lightly tart, mine is almost on the mild end of lambic tart. This is a better beer than mine.

Wow, my first review in over two months...I knew I'd been slacking off, but I had no idea it was this bad!
This is nice summer offering from an Indiana brewer. Very clear (for the style) straw-golden brew. Starts with a nice thick head, but doesn't last very long. Minimal amounts of lace left behind. Strong and crisp aroma of wheat, like standing in a newly harvested field. Very light notes of fruit hiding in there with a slightly stronger bit of spice. Strong wheat flavor, slightly sweet and malty with light spicy notes. Fruit nearly non-existent in the taste, but comes out a bit in the aftertaste. Very crisp, and somewhat dry. This is an extremely refreshing and drinkable brew, though I'd like it to be a bit spicier. Hopefully, I'll be able to find this in bottles for the hottest days of summer!

4.45/5 rDev +15.9%
Golden and slightly cloudy, with a small amount of lace after settling. Coriander aromas abound, offsetting a nice malty nose. Only enough hops to give some balance. Light to medium body, crisp, and dry. Malty taste... I noticed a touch of the coriander there too, not at all fruity - almost thought I tasted a little bit of nut. This was an excellent Wit, from a local brewery that I'm growing to like more and more.

Great for Sleeping Bag
May 11, 2011
I purchased the 10L version. My 30 degree down bag barely squeezes in, but its great to know my bag will not get wet. I plan on purchasing a larger size to store clothes in. Build quality seems excellent.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Best Sleeping Bag Stuff Sack Ever!
June 18, 2010
This is hands down one of the best pieces of gear out there. To be able to have the combo of a compression sack and dry bag in one is the only way to assure a dry sleeping bag without bulk. No more garbage bag liners and questionable double sack systems. These things are amazing!
great sack
January 22, 2011
i love these. they fit tons of stuff in them and they stay dry. i use it on canoe trips and backpacking. no problems buy them...the 30L is big..beware of thatPros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Great compression bag
January 31, 2011
The airpurge drybag works as advertised. Filled it full sealed it and was able to compress it to a much smaller bag. Is well built and looks like it will hold up well! Love the airpurge makes compressing your bag a breeze. Would have given it a 5 star but have not been able to test how water proof it is really is.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Great Sack
September 17, 2012
I reviewed and tried many compression sacks that are waterproof. This sack far exceeded my expectation of how compact I can pack my big sleeping bag. Once you learn the trick, it is fairly easy to pack quickly. Great sack. Great price.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value
durable, waterproof and save a lot of space
January 26, 2012
I took a 25L compression sack with me for trips in China, Nepal, and India. It was snowing and raining. I can put my sleeping bag, and all the clothes inside easily and make it a very small size for carrying. It kept all my items dry during my trips. The compression function is the biggest benefit for me which allows me to carry more things in my luggage when flying, and carry a much smaller backpack when hiking.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
One of the best dry sacks out there
October 27, 2009
I've tried them all and I have to say that OR's airburge system is great. The sack is light weight, keeps the contents completely dry and compresses bulk to perfection. I used them for a lengthy canoe trip this past season and bought a couple more as soon as I got back. Good gear storage makes me happy...and I was definitely happy with this system.
great bag
July 25, 2011
this was just what i needed for a sleeping bag i bought the smallest one still a little big but not so it can't be used just roll it down some but it compressed my stuff and gave me more room in my pack this is great plan to get more wish they hadn't used orange color fabric and keep it solid but its still a good product..Pros: Ease of use, Cons: Cost
Great Investment
August 30, 2010
This is one of the best pieces of gear I have received from Altrec. It fits perfectly in my Atmos 50 and I know whatever I put in it will stay clean, dry and organized.
Great Sack!
September 12, 2009
The OR Airpurge Dry Comp Sack mixes two features that I really need, first it's waterproof, and second is compresses my sleeping bag into a small package. I live in Costa Rica where it rains a lot, since I bought this sack I forgot about packing my sleeping bag into garbage bags. It's a great product!
Good but heavy
July 12, 2011
I bought a couple fo these for my heavy down jacket and down sleeping bag. They performed well and were able to compress items for better packing. The main thing i didn't like was that the bags themselves are very heavy. When counting ounces on a backpacking trip, it adds up. Will use them more for water sports now where weight isn't as much an issue...Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: weight
It Shrinks!
January 26, 2013
This bag is awesome - OR genuinely makes great products. I was initially nervous because the bag it huge! But, It fits all of my stuff, and legitimately keeps the water out. It compresses really well (depending on what you put in it) and fits perfect in my kayak. So size really isn't an issue. Definitely a good for people who want to keep their goods dry.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value, Cons: compressing is just a little difficult
Great Dry Bag
January 05, 2011
This little back has been wonderful in the sense that I can stuff with all my clothes for a weekend trip, throw it in with my snow gear, and still not worry about my stuff getting wet. Plus, I don't have go through the hassle of squeezing the air out before closing it up. Great technology! I like the fact that it's so compact when all is said and done that I just throw it anywhere while others with their backpacks and suitcases take up so much room. I'm definitely getting another one.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
great raft trip option
December 27, 2011
great compression sack fro our raft trip. it kept my bag dry and packed down. this is a high quality product for anyone looking to save a little extra space in their pack or dry bag.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Lasts forever, Performance
May 26, 2011
It was exactly what I was looking for. It kept my sleeping bag and pad perfectly dry and ready to use during a hard rain storm. What a wonderful product. The compression straps and air purging system help you make it the perfect size with no headaches. Thank you for such a wonderful product!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Excellent kayaking bag
March 31, 2011
Excellent bag! I use it kayaking and have ended up swimming several times with this bag but all my stuff stayed completely dry. Highly recommended to keep your valuables safe.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Cons: Cost

Stricken tug: salvage operation continues
A tug boat carrying 200 tonnes of diesel which was stricken off the coast of Torbay is now sitting off Portland. Salvage experts are assessing whether it's safe to bring the vessel into Portland harbour.
Six people were rescued and Brixham Coastguard says an environmental disaster has been averted. Work has been going on for the last two days to stop the tug from sinking, after it was hit by a ship it was towing.

Apparently drivers on Melbourne Thursday press conference are Vettel, Ricciardo, Hamilton, Alonso, Magnussen and Massa.25th June 2013, 0:53 at 12:53 am #225572
About American open-wheelers.
I think it would need someone under 25 to be a real championship contender. Current under-25s (Rahal, de Silvestro, Vautier, Newgarden) don't fit that category. If Munoz becomes regular next year and will be contender soon he might be one.6th June 2013, 8:14 at 8:14 am #230602
Charles and Giedo: With Romain Grosjean getting 10-place penalty, he may well be demoted behind you in the starting grid. In general, how do you look on defensive battle against drivers in faster cars?
Friday: (I want to stay away from tyregate, but ask about tyres a different question)
Monisha, last year it was said that Sauber is one of the best with tyres. In Monaco, Nico struggled towards the end of the race. Was the reason that he didn't save tyres enough or is this year's car different compared to last year?29th May 2013, 16:54 at 4:54 pm #230590
That would be good. But looking through the drivers so far involved, only two of them have been only once: Chilton and Maldonado. "Good" thing that they collided with each other, though I may see that Chilton has to wait until Britain.22nd May 2013, 21:33 at 9:33 pm #230588
With drivers' session gone it doesn't make sense to "ask" anything.
But for Alain Prost, this:
As a driver, Monaco GP is always special. Has it been special after your driving career, whether you have been just a spectator, team owner or in your current role as an advisor?22nd May 2013, 9:13 at 9:13 am #230581
Who are the Monaco GP participants?9th May 2013, 9:45 at 9:45 am #236432
It's always difficult to compare drivers who competed full career and those who had a career cut short.
Of those single GP winners, I think the following had an early end to their careers: Kubica, Nannini, Nilsson, Pace, Cevert, Scarfiotti, Bandini, Musso.
Talking about full careers I rate Alesi the best.8th May 2013, 18:05 at 6:05 pm #230579
As I would be one on the floor, I would ask just one question in each, although this time one directed towards two members.
First, on drivers' PC.
Sergio, Lewis Hamilton talked about being controlled too much while being at McLaren. Do you feel the difference between working in McLaren and Sauber?
Then, in the team staff PC:
Mark and Dave, how do you feel about the situation where the difference between your teams seem to be decided much by the bad luck happening to other teams rather than the pace of your teams?21st April 2013, 18:15 at 6:15 pm #232382
Best Driver: di Resta
Worst Driver: Gutierrez
Best Team: Lotus
Worst Team: Ferrari
Best Overtake: Perez on Alonso
Best Funny-moment: Not really anything remarkable
Most Surprising Result: Grosjean finding speed again
Least Surprising Result: Vettel winning
Special Mention to: Red Bull for sending woman to take constructors' trophy.
Race Rating: 9/1018th April 2013, 12:46 at 12:46 pm #232051
IMO, Coulthard and Brundle have shown that former drivers who have worked for media can do the interviews much better than others.
In Finland we have nowadays Mika Salo in our crew, so he could be good chance to do it at some race. However in Bahrain he's working in the stewards' panel.18th April 2013, 7:01 at 7:01 am #230572
Having driven for Marussia last year and Caterham this year, how much the teams have difference in their working ambitions while trying to get higher on the timesheets?
McLaren has had several bad starts to the season, such as in 2004 or 2009. In both those years the team was able to win in the latter parts of the season. Are those experiences helpful in the current situation of the team?15th April 2013, 17:19 at 5:19 pm #231985
The teams will improve their tyre usage towards the end of the season and I think we will the amount of pit stop decreasing towards the end of the season, just like it has happened in past two years.11th April 2013, 20:51 at 8:51 pm #230565
Just read the transcript and noted that Grosjean and Perez didn't get asked any questions from the floor.12th January 2012, 21:14 at 9:14 pm #185107
I say Adrian Sutil due to some trouble with the law. The question has only surnames, so Scheckter might refer to Tomas and not Jody.23rd December 2011, 21:51 at 9:51 pm #185076
