Recently built and carefully decorated to provide a confortable stay this Villa is close to both countryside and the amazing algarve seashore and beaches Beautifully furnished 3 bedroom villa in a small quiet complex with private pool and landscaped gardens. There is air conditioning in all rooms and stunning rooftop views . Barbeque overlooking the pool and all outdoor furniture. Long Winter lets available and negociableThe surroundings - ALVORIt is close to the towns of Alvor, Lagos, Portimao and Praia da Rocha which all offer excellent restaurants and numerous bars and shops. There is also a large retail park a 5 minute drive from the villa and has supermarkets, designer shops etc. Within short driving distance is the quiet typical Portuguese village of Figueira offering 2 small supermarkets, several bars and 2 restaurants. In the opposite directon The Penina Championship Golf course is just 4 kms away and the Penina Hotel offers world class Cuisine and tastefully furnished bars for use by residents and non residents. Further along is another bar with an excellent restaurant. There are several other golf courses within a short driving distance.ALVORFrom Praia da Rocha, the cliff tops and the beachfront road run westward to Praia do Vau. The cliffs peter out and the road curls inland, eventually emerging at the river-mouth village of Alvor. At the heart of it all is the old village with its narrow streets running down to the waters edge where the fishing boats are moored. In recent years it has been enveloped by several highly-rated hotels, luxurious as well as some lesser complexes, and a great many holiday apartment blocks. In amongst the suburbia is the Alto Golfs 18-hole course, the last to be designed by the legendary English golfer, Sir Henry Cotton. His first course in the Algarve was the championship course of the venerable Penina Hotel not far from Alvor on the EN125.D. João II, the so-called "Perfect Prince" who went on to rule as one of Portugals greatest kings, died in Alvor of dropsy in 1495 shortly after Columbus discovery of the New World and shortly before Vasco da Gamas momentous voyage from Portugal to India. Virtually nothing remains of the castle, but the main doorway of the parish church is a fine example of Manueline architecture, a Gothic style named after Joãos successor, King Manuel I.Alvor is perhaps best known for its wide beach, boasting 15 kilometers of golden sand. Its divided into several smaller bays, each with their own character. Alvor itself is a busy fishing village with dozens of colourful fishing boats moored in its ancient harbour. The old village, with its sleepy cobbled lanes and whitewashed houses, still has a sophisticated appeal. Facing the beautiful fishing village of Ferragudo, Portimao is an important fishing port famous for its grilled sardines and its pastry shopsDiversions at a short drive distance - LAGOSZoomarine :A fascinating entertaining and educational oceanographic facility taking its theme from the links the Algarve has with the sea. Take your family to the Zoomarine and enjoy a wonderful day watching dolphins, seals, sharks, turtles, exotic birds, seabirds, crocodiles and tropical fish. Zoomarine characteristics, exhibitions and shows of an exceptionally high standard make it unique in Portugal. In a tranquil setting offset by lakes and gardens Zoomarine has created the right environment to reveal the "secrets of the sea". The park has all the requisite amenities you need for a happy family outing: restaurants, shops, amusements and swimming pools. Aqualand: Aqualand is an aquatic park with all sorts of attractions for elders and youngsters, located near Lagoa. It has a souvenir shop, kiosk, restaurant and several aquatic attractions. A non-stop fun day at the Aqualand will cater to the delights of those who like some action! Located in the centre of the Algarve and within easy reach of all tourists open from 29th of April to 28th of September. The Water Park provides 6 hectares of family fun to occupy you for the whole day. Within the landscaped gardens is a choice of thrills that offer speed, excitement, or just easy going pleasure. For the daredevil, try the Banzai Boggan gliding down 22 metres of sheer excitement. Also, have a go on the Kamikaze, a 92.50 metre bi-slide! For the less adventurous there is a choice of the Wave Pool, the Kamikaze the FlyingCarpets and the Raging Rapids. One of the main attractions is the Corkscrew that has five lanes so a visitor can choose between a very slow ride and a very fast one! LAGOSAlthough the earthquake of 1755 caused great damage, the streets and squares of Lagos have retained much of the charm of a city hundreds of years old.On the site of the old mediaeval town - area defined by the city walls and two streets (Rua de São Gonçalo and Rua 5 de Outubro) - the houses preserve much of its former character in the stonework around their windows and doors, in their wrought iron balconies, in the cool, shady areas created by the narrow streets, and in the patios where flowers, fig trees and vines are to be found growing.The part of the city that grew up as a result of expansion between the 15th and 16th centuries has its heart in Praça Gil Eanes and in the meandering streets where tiles in the "art nouveau" style are to be found in grand houses with impressive façades and white walls broken only by the windows stonework. In Gil Eanes Square, we can admire a marble statue made by the portuguese sculptor Cutileiro, has an homage to King Sebastião (1557-1578).From Avenida dos Descobrimentos, on the other hand, it is possible to realize the profile of the city, to look out seawards to the far horizon, to watch the bustle of fishing boats and the shimmering masts of yachts mirrored in the still waters of the marina
Flat Screen LCD TV - A/C in all bedrooms - Unilimited Wi-Fi Internet access - Nespresso coffe machine
The Villa is in a very quiet area. It has a private east facing swimming pool, a west facing garden, a summer house, a south facing patio area, a west facing balcony, panoramic views, a barbeque.

Dec 10, 2012 5:39 PM by Rob Perillo
A winter chill remains in the forecast over the next few days with lows dropping into the 30s at night with highs in the 50s through Wednesday.
A Freeze Warning has been posted for the northwestern parishes of Acadiana as temperatures could threaten the freezing mark for a couple of hours prior to daybreak.
Breezy north winds will fight ideal cooling conditions through Tuesday morning so forecast temperatures in the mid-upper 30s is the best call for now.
With that being said, it would be prudent to protect the tender vegetation over the next several nights/mornings as low again will be in the mid-30s Tuesday night, but highs clouds may keep much of the area out of the freeze potential.
Although generally fair skies are expected for our Tuesday, high clouds will likely invade during the afternoon and overnight hours as an upper disturbance rolls through the area. If the high clouds clear earlier than expected late Tuesday night, then Acadiana could see temperatures closer to freezing by Wednesday morning.
By Wednesday night skies should be completely clear and winds will become nearly calm, which may allow for many spots in Acadiana to see a frost/light freeze for Thursday morning.
Milder temperatures are expected from Thursday into the weekend with the chance of showers developing for Saturday.
At this point, it looks like Acadiana will see another weekend with highs in the 70s.
In the for what it may be worth department, the end of our long-range projections (12-14 days down the road) are calling for very cold conditions to arrive by Christmas, but that forecast is subject to, and will likely change, down the road.

BBC: Amnesty International has said that thousands of detainees held by the multinational forces in Iraq are still being denied their basic rights.
The group said the lessons of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal appeared to have been ignored and reports of torture continued to "pour out of Iraq".
It said it based its findings on interviews with former inmates.

Kind of ironic
I saw that warlock earlier today trying to convince people that the attack table was a multi roll system (ie 50% parry + 50% dodge = 75% avoidance)
Edit: Woot I found it, definitely worth it. It's funnier reading it now that I've seen him trying to be credible on Warlock Tanking (LOL)
World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Night Elf DKs take 8.5% less damageMan....still a countless # of people who don't understand tanking mechanics.
I you have 50% dodge & 50% block (no parry), you do not have 100% avoidance. You have 2 independent events of being able to avoid an attack. This amounts to 75% avoidance (which is rather intuitive in this case). Take a probability class, read a probability book, or go to wikipedia, inform yourself, and use the formulas as you like. I mean come on, that's like telling me if I flip two coins (50% chance of getting a heads each) that I'll be guaranteed to get 1 head if I flip both (50+50). Apparently it's impossible for both heads to land on tails .. .. /facepalm.

Is it tough to get your kids up off the couch and headed outside to play? Some events coming this spring and summer to Omaha will hopefully help get your kids outdoors and active.
They are called "Play Streets" events. About a half mile of streets will be blocked off for each event which will included games and activities. The events are designed to help kids and their families be more healthy and active.
"We'll have activities such as Zumba and yoga," says Lisa Dworak, Omaha Play Streets Coordinator. "And then we'll have things like hopscotch, four square, rock walls, bounce houses. A whole wide variety of activities for the kids and their families."
At each of these Play Streets events, organizers will hand out kits filled with things to help neighborhoods organize their own Play Streets events.
Four Play Streets events are planned for this spring and summer. The first one will be April 28th from 11 a.m. To 4 p.m. at Aksarben Village. The South Omaha event will be May 26th from 2p.m to 7 p.m. On July 27th it will move to downtown. And on August 25th the last Play Streets event will take place in North Omaha.
The goal of Play Streets events is to encourage social cohesion, facilitate opportunities for safe play citywide and create lasting change in public health by providing at least 60 minutes of dedicated programming for physical activity at each event.
The City is particularly concerned with improving public health by promoting physical activity, providing access to health and wellness options, and making fresh produce available in communities typically lacking access to healthy foods.
Play Street events will be targeted toward children and families in under served neighborhoods. Events will feature kid friendly activities and be connected to a food market; fostering a safe, fun environment that enables all family members to participate.

This, my friends, is the only (I repeat, only) yellow rain jacket on the internet, that's made in the USA, PVC-free, and, costs less than $55 (can you guess what I spent the weekend searching for?). Fortunately, it's pretty alright looking. Waterproof and flame resistant polyurethane-coated nylon body. Attached hood with draw strong. Raglan sleeves. Storm flap with non-conductive snaps. And perfectly sized to fit over a jean jacket (which is exactly how I'll be wearing it). Size down one.

I'm so glad I inspired you! I was a little worried that people would read that piece and say (or think), "He's crazy. No way would I ever do that." So you've restored my faith.
You know one vegetarian product I've been liking lately that you might get to keep in an office fridge? It's the faux meats by Field Roast, particularly the sausages. I'm a carnivore, but these are actually good -- especially if you don't think of them as subs. But you also might look at that pre-marinated baked or smoked tofu. Keeps better than the fresher kind, and great to throw into salads, etc.

Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Native American Heritage Month
In November, CRCHD joins the rest of the nation in recognizing Lung Cancer Awareness Month, as well as celebrating Native American Heritage Month.
Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer found in men and women and the leading cause of cancer death. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, more people die from lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. Though the gap is starting to close, there continues to be lung cancer disparities in the U.S. For example:
- Older people are more likely to develop lung cancer than other population groups.
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in African Americans.
- Native American men and women have the third highest incidence and mortality rates for lung cancer.
Native American and Alaska Natives living in the U.S. continue to experience significant cancer health disparities compared to the general population. For example, members of this racial/ethnic group have the poorest survival rate from all cancers combined than any other racial group, and Native American women have the third-highest cancer death rates compared to the general U.S. population.

Today I did not work. Instead I took a very old friend and his wife to the Britannia Mining Museum in winter. It was a clear, sparkling day; cold but brisk; beautiful views out over the sound to the distant blue mountains. (more…)

Most mines have a place where the miners eat. Let us celebrate the cooks at these places by telling of the many fine meals we have enjoyed in these mining canteens. In celebrating cooks at mining canteens, I also seek to describe a job in mining that most do not write about. If you like cooking, then maybe a job at a mine canteen is for you. (more…)

INDIANAPOLIS – A move to legalize and regulate high-fenced hunting preserves failed in the Senate Tuesday when it didn't receive enough votes to either be defeated or approved.
The 25-23 vote was a bit of a surprise because there was no debate on the bill and it appeared to have momentum out of committee.
It was moving in the Senate for the first time after leadership killed the measure in recent years.
"This is a bill that is needed. If we don't pass this bill, deer will be hunted in ways we can't regulate or control," said Sen. Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, who authored Senate Bill 404.
A Harrison County judge ruled late last year against the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, which in 2005 tried to shut down high-fenced hunting in the state. Specifically, the ruling said deer used by these facilities are privately owned and the DNR exceeded its authority trying to regulate them.
But that ruling is being appealed by the state attorney general. And another judge ruled previously in favor of the DNR.
High-fenced hunting preserves place deer with big racks in large confined spaces, and hunters can shoot them for high prices.
In 2005, the DNR determined that about a dozen facilities were operating such preserves with permits for possession, breeding and sale of white-tailed deer – not permits for hunting.
Several preserve owners sued, and remained open under an injunction. There are four currently operating in the state.
Yoder and other supporters said the most recent court ruling would allow the existing preserves to operate in any way they want without oversight.
But he noted the operators want regulations so "bad actors don't give them a bad name."
The bill would have required a minimum of 160 acres, except for those existing that operate already with less acreage.
An initial hunting preserve license fee would be $5,000, with an annual renewal fee of $1,500.
Other regulations would have prohibited hunting within 150 yards of an artificial feeding site; limited the number of hunters on a preserve at any one time; set hunting dates and hours; required annual inspections by DNR; restricted the sale of preserve licenses; and required hunters to comply with safety rules. Doug Allman, of the Indiana Deer Hunters Association, has fought against high-fenced hunting for years and said the vote was incredible.
"I'm ecstatic. I thought it was going to pass. I really did. It's a bill that not everyone understands completely," he said.
He noted that the Board of Animal Health still has the right to regulate the health of the deer themselves. As for the hunting, he said no regulations would make the practice ethical.
"All we are doing is legitimizing it and making it look good," Allman said. "It's still what it is – shooting penned and farm-raised deer tame to humans. It's not hunting."
Locally, Sen. Jim Banks, R-Columbia City; Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange; Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle; and Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, voted yes.
Sen. David Long, R-Fort Wayne, and Sen. Tom Wyss, R-Fort Wayne, voted no.
The bill cannot be called for another vote in the Senate due to deadlines.

A 55-year-old Stafford resident reported that the driver of a silver Mazda pointed a handgun at him as they both traveled on Princess Anne Street toward downtown. The Mazda driver was later identified as Matthew Bocson, 36, of Stafford. The Stafford County Sheriff's Office took Bocson into custody at his home on July 4 and he was turned over to City police. Bocson was charged with brandishing a firearm and aggressive driving and he was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail under a $1000 bond. A handgun was also recovered at Bocson's residence.
IHOP, 2831 Plank Rd, 7/4 3:00 am.

House-sitter admits using pickax to kill acquaintance at Springtown home
A Weatherford man was arrested late Wednesday after he admitted using a pickax to kill an acquaintance in Springtown, authorities say.
Nicholas Camfield, 24, faces a murder charge in the slaying at a Springtown home where he was house-sitting, according to the Parker County sheriff's office.
"This was a particularly brutal homicide," Sheriff Larry Fowler said.
The crime came to light after a friend of the victim called authorities asking that they check on the missing man, who was last known to be with Camfield.
Deputies arrived at the home in 200 block of Valley Meadows Drive about 11:30 p.m. and found Camfield covered in blood inside the home. The dead man was found covered in a blanket in the master bedroom.
Fowler said the suspect admitted to killing the man with a pickax. Sheriff's investigators and the Texas Rangers are working together to determine the motive.
The victim's name is being withheld until his family is notified.

Live Auction Bidding for our auctions is available through the Core Tech bidding system. We strongly advise all clients to opt in for the email updates regarding the current sale and future sales. The email opt in options are located at the bottom of the registration form.
You will be given a bidder ID after you choose a user name and password and enter some additional information.
Participate in Live Bidding at the Schuyler Rumsey Philatelic Auctions site at Core Tech.
Use this demonstration to familiarize yourself with the Core Tech Live Bidding system.
Important: To access our Live Auction Bidding System you must update your computer by following the instructions on the linked PDF file.
In order to use the Real-Time Internet bidding system you will need to have a recent version of Java software installed on your computer. Most computers will already have this installed, but if you find that you cannot run the demonstration or Live Auction Interface, you can download the latest version free of charge from www.java.com. Core Tech Real-time internet bidding system is compatible with both a PC and Mac, however when running the Core Tech system on a Mac, the Firefox web browser must be used.
You also need the free Adobe Flash player in order to listen to the sound. Flash player is available for download on the Adobe website at www.adobe.com
Most new computers are firewall protected. If the bidder's screen is properly displayed but clicking on the 'Session Info' button results in a 'Connection Refused' message in a red square, your firewall is blocking the system. Please note that between two auctions no auction is started in the system. This will display the same message.
To configure your firewall to allow the Core Tech system to run on your computer, you need to accept the Core Tech servers and open some ports.
The Core Tech servers are:
- www.coretech.cc for the Live Bidding
- audio.coretech.cc for the audio
The ports to be opened are:
- 9038 for Live auction (in TCP both ways)
- 1935 for the sound (in UDP and TCP both ways)
As there are so many different firewalls it is impossible to give a detailed procedure to open these ports. If you are accessing the Live Auction from a large corporate or government network, there is a probability that your IT department has these ports blocked. Consult your IT department to have these ports opened.
How the Online Live Auction works:
1. Bidding starts in the auction room and the lot will be adjudicated ignoring the internet unless an internet bidder has been recognised before the hammer comes down.
2. In the event of two Internet bidders bidding at the same moment, the server accepts the first bid received and ignores the others at the same price. This explains why you may have bid but the next bid is not yours. Please bid again to have a recognized bid.
3. In the event the Internet bidder and a floor bidder bid the same increment at the same moment, the bidder first recognized by the auctioneer takes precedence.
4. Please click on the bid button as soon as possible as it may take a moment to connect to the server due to different connection speeds around the world. Once your bid is relayed, the auctioneer notes the presence of an Internet bidder and will keep the lot open to ensure you the chance to place your last bid.
5. The display will show "GOING GOING GONE" in sequence, to confirm the end of the bidding. You must enter your final bid the moment you see the first "GOING".
1) I cannot hear the auction.
Ensure that you have the free Flash player installed. You can download the latest version from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com. Also ensure that sound is activated on your computer.
2) There is an important delay between what I see on my screen and what I hear from the auction room:
If you experience a too important delay go at the bottom of your bidder's screen where is located the 'Live Audio Control' bar. Press the 'Stop' button (the one with a square). Wait 2-3 seconds and press the 'Play' button again (the one with the small arrow). Sound will then be re-synchronised with the auction room.
3) I don't see the bidding screen - I have a blank gray screen, or I have several error messages (run time error, etc.), or I have a small red cross.
You need to download the LATEST version of Java software. Go to www.java.com and click on the "Download Now" button and follow the instructions until you get the message "Java Installed". Close and then reopen your internet browser. Go back to the Core Tech website and Log In again.
4) I have forgotten my password:
Access the Live Bidding page. You will be asked for your username and password. Click on the "Forgotten password" tab and follow the instructions. You will then be able to choose a new password. Be careful, username and passwords are key sensitive so respect upper and lower cases.
5) I log in and I have the message 'connection refused' displayed:
You are presumably using a firewall and some servers need to be allowed and some ports need to be opened. Add exceptions to your firewall for the following servers and ports:
The Core Tech servers are:
- www.coretech.cc for the Live Bidding
- audio.coretech.cc for the audio
The ports to be opened are:
- 9038 for Live auction (in TCP both ways)
- 1935 for the sound (in UDP and TCP both ways)
6) I receive a "Java Fatal Error" message after login:
Please try closing surplus browser windows and re-trying before re-installing the new version of Java.
7) I am using a Mac with Lion ( OS X 10.7 or above):
Before 10.7 Java was installed in standard on Macs. It is not the case any more. So you need to download it and install it. The download and the explanation are available on the Apple website at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
Once the installation is completed please go in the Java preferences and ensure that in the 'General' tab the tick box 'Enable applet plug-in and web start applications' is ticked.
For a non-understandable reason live bidding does not work with Safari on Macs (it does with Safari on PC). This means that to use Live Bidding you need to use another browser like Firefox for example. It can be downloaded at: http://www.mozilla.org/
For other technical issues, please

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The University of Central Oklahoma has received a $2 million gift that will go toward construction of a boathouse on the Oklahoma River.
The boathouse will be used for the university's women's rowing team and will also include a live music venue, outdoor performance area and art gallery. The gift from MidFirst Bank also includes an additional $500,000 to endow a faculty chair and assist with the university's efforts to renovate the Old North building on campus.
UCO President Don Betz says the new Boathouse district will provide both a training location for athletes and a new arts and culture venue.
The university says the live music venue will be named for MidFirst Bank. Officials say the gift from MidFirst completes the university's fundraising initiative for the Boathouse project.

It was champagne and spicy shrimp canapés with classic roast beef on mini Yorkshire puddings as Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton honored celebrity portrait photographer Alistair Morrison's book Time to Reflect inside London's trendy The Shop at Bluebird on Thursday.

Bathurst: A Virtual Tour
By Scott Russell
It is quite simply, the finest circuit in the Souther Hemisphere. Six kilometres of undulating curves, fast sweepers and long straights, Bathurst is a real drivers course and the premier track in Australia. This collection of photographs takes us around Bathurst on a virtual tour. (This feature first appeared on Chequered Flag in September 2002. All photos are reproduced in ultra-low-resolution in the spirit of 'fair use'.)
Main Straight
Welcome to Mt. Panorama, Bathurst, Australia, home of Australia's premier touring car race, the Bathurst 1000. A lap around the track starts at the start/ finish line on the main straight. Here the 2005 field pull away at the start. Note the six foot high pitwall, built in time for the '99 race.
Hell Corner
The main straight is ended with a 90 degree left hander that marks the start of the ascent up the mountain. V8 Supercars can take this corner at approximatly 100km/h. This is always a very hectic turn on race day as the large field funnels into the first turn, often two or three abreast.
Hell Corner Exit
After negotiating Hell Corner, drivers proceed to begin the ascent to the top of Mt. Panorama. This photo shows lap one of the 1996 Bathurst 1000, Craig Lowndes heading he field in an HRT Commodore VS. Lowndes and teammate Murphy won the race. They remain the youngest winning pair to date.
Mountain Straight
A lap at Bathurst begins for real with the big climb up Mountain Straight. This photo was taken during the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour Sports Car race.
Mountain Straight
The first part of Mountain Straight is flat, but the second half is punctured by a large hump, an uphill/downhill section before Griffins. The Australian gum trees provide the perfect foreground as two New Zealand Schedule S cars drive during the 1998 Super Touring event. Shadows over the track change the dynamics of this part of the track as the race winds on.
After the relatively mundane drive up Mountrain Straight, the cars enter the fast, sweeping, uphill, right hander known as 'Griffins Bend'. Griffens leads into the Cutting.
The Cutting
So called because the part of road is 'cut' into the mountain, the Cutting complex actually entails two corners. The steepest part of the track, its uphill all the way as the drivers stick to the racing line and battle. This is Larry Perkins leading a train of cars during the 1992 Bathurst 1000. Perkins is driving a VL Holden Commodore. The BP Cutting was the site of the 1980 'rock' incident. A rock thrown onto the track by a spectator ended the race of privateer Dick Johnson, who was leading at the time in a Falcon.
Reid Park
With the town as a backdrop, this part of the circuit is the location of one of the most memorable moments in Bathurst history. Reid Park encompasses a few twists, but is notable for the left handed crest depicted to the left. It was here in 1982 that a tyre failure pitched Kevin Bartlett into an enormous roll at the wheel of the Channel 9 sponsored Chevrolet Camaro. It was a spectacular accident, but he was unharmed.
Sulman Park
Reid Park leads into Sulman Park, the second of three 'Parks' at the top of the mountain, the third being McPhillamy Park, which the Pack Leader Falcon EL can be seen driving towards in the photo on the left, taken at the 1996 classic.
McPhillamy Park
A blind crest infront of McPhillamy makes this a tough corner and one for the brave drivers. Runoff here has been extended in recent years, easing safety concerns at a point in the track that has caused many accidents, most memorably the track blocking accident in 1981 on lap 120 that forced a premature stop to the event. This is the 1998 Super Touring race.
Brock Skyline as it is known these days provides photographers with a spectaculor oppurtunity as the cars crest the hump that marks the beginning of the descent down the mountain. This is Paul Morris in 2001. Several drivers have crashed here in the past, most notably Tony Roberts, who went over the wall and off the edge in 1970 in a Falcon. When Peter Brock died in September 2006, fans left flowers, cards and posters for "Brocky" on the concrete walls at this part of the track.
The esses lead into the dipper and form a very important part of a Bathurst lap. Stuff up this part and you've lost your momentum for the next few corners. The descent through this section is very steep, and many drivers have lost it through here in years gone by.
The Dipper
The ground falls away as the cars hit this part of the track on the way down the mountain. The rate of decline here is very fast as the drivers keep to the inside and hope for the best. This is an HRT Commodore flying through the dipper in the 1991 event..
Towards Forrest Elbow
The scenic NSW country-side provides a stunning backdrop for this V8 Ute during the 2001 support race. Not that the drivers have a chance to admire the view on the run down the mountain towards Forrest Elbow.
Forrest Elbow
The last corner of the mountrain and the one that leads onto Conrod Straight, Forrest Elbow is a tricky left hander that has claimed many drivers in the past, including raceleader, Jim Richards, in 1992. The race was red flagged immediatly due to the torrential rain, and Richards/Skaife were declared winners despite crashing out (the results were taken from 1 lap prior). This photo shows the 1985 race, a Volvo, Jaguar, Ford train.
Conrod Straight
Although it is interupted by the Chase, the V8 Supercars still reach their top speed of 300km/h along Conrod, and it is the fastest part of the circuit. The Chase was installed in the interests of safety after Mike Burgman died there in 1987.
End of Conrod Straight
A hump in the track under the Bridge, with the pit lane entry to the left, marks the end of the 1.5 kilometre run down Conrod. The pitlane itself peels off the left side of the track, and is a zig-zagged section of road designed to slow the drivers before they enter the pits. Larry Perkins was a casualty of the pit entrance in 2001 after he crashed his VX Commodore in this section while pitting late in the race. Despite this embarrassing gaffe, Perkins is second only to Brock in Bathurst folklore.
Murrays Corner
The last corner of the track is simply the opposite of the first - left, slightly downhill and 90 degrees its a simple corner marking the end of the lap. Despite it's simplicity, many drivers have been beached in the gravel on the corners outisde. This photo shows four Commdore V8 Supercars battling in 1996.
Finish Line
After Murrays Corner, it's a short run to the finish line. And there you have it, a virtual tour of Mt Panorama.

Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
A couple weeks ago I re-walked Brooklyn's most historic street, Fulton Street, between Flatbush and Broadway Junction with Kevin. His page about that section is here. He's also documented Fulton near the East River and in Downtown Brooklyn. What a street.
whoa, this is so good it's almost surreal. that last picture is exactly what i think of when i think of bed-stuy. now, what's up with the BOTTLES??
I'd guess they're allegedly pheromone-based scents.
ahh, home sweet home. Of course if you looked around the corner from most these places you'd see a hell of a lot of construction and renovated brownstones. But that wouldn't be as much fun now, would it? Great series
I really like the one with the sign about Martyrs for Jesus.
My girlfriend and I thought of renting a place in Bed-Stuy. The street we were looking at was great--brownstones renovated and occupied by their owners, friendly neighbors. Unfortunately, there weren't many services (groceries, dining, etc.) nearby, and it would have added too much time to our commutes. Still Bed-Stuy has much to recommend it, and I think in a couple years, it'll have even more.
These images capture the feel of one area along Fulton street, however I have to say that I can't help but notice the lack of people in these photos. I suppose it is due to the concentration on the area of Fulton that sits on the cusp of Ft. Greene. The walking waste land as I like to call it, where few people hang out during the day.
Perhaps you should revisit the area and walk along Fulton street from Classon or just before Classon and head towards Franklin Ave and beyond to Nostrand.
I have also noticed that you photographed one of the most interesting corners (corner of Classon and Fulton), yet failed to capture the people. This is a constantly busy corner, which has recently come under an interesting verge of gentrification. I find it a bit surreal to have these images which seem to portray a decay and dissarray, yet ignore the very nature and source of decay. The people who live here.
The people in this area, my neighborhood speak even louder of the stammering regeneration amidst decay. Come back and photograph the people. Look not just at the buildings, look also at the street corners and stoops.
seriously tho, how did you get these photos
I'm betting he used a camera.
I thought so too.
Do you have any photos of Fulton St. and Richmond St. where the old Embassy Theater used to be? Any pictures of the Waterworks on Dinsmore Place near Logan St.?
Fulton is rising, so many grat places had open up in the past few years like bodega at fulton and clinton and olivino also there, we will see more of this great neighborhood places coming up in the next years as many buildings had sold and stores are getting rented, go FULTON!
I enjoyed seeing the photos of the Bklyn streets. I grew up in a brownstone in Bed-Stuy on Bainbridge between Lewis and Stuyvesant so I am familiar with the streets you showed. It would have really been a treat to see photos of the streets in what is now called Stuyvesant Heights.
Hey..I live in this neighb...and, I agree..pics of the diversity of folks who reside in Ft.Greene/Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy would really add true flavor to this pictoral..college students from all over the world, black/white/east and west asian..a muslim mosque next door to a hasidim-owned realty company on the same street as a senegalese restaurant next to a latino run grocery store and tex-mex chinese restaurant..Now THAT's Fulton St.

@Sebe. What a convenient time to commit hari kari. PN offers up an extensive rebuttal and you decide to fall on your sword by calling "ALL of the above including the links you posted" propaganda? Now that I think about it that is more akin to a kamikaze act than hari kari. You magnanimously discredit your posts while equating PN's post to yours!??!
Are we to now go back and review your anti-ACA rants under the same propagandic light?
Where does one, including myself, find the propaganda litmus tests? I suspect that it exists within the peanut gallery of the Conservative rank and file, who by the way always thought the East German judge was RIGHT on their scorecards.
Nothing personal Sebe. But WHO decides what is or isn't propaganda on these pages? Things are starting to heat up and the war drums are pounding!
What a load of crap. He put us, our children and our great grandchildren in so much dept with all his stupid give away programs that we will never see the light of day. He let four Americans, including an ambassador, die at the hands terrorist and did nothing to save them and his Secretary of State had already denied them the resources needed to protect the consolate on 911. Duh do you think that might have been the time to beef up security. You think the USA is better off now than it was 5 years ago. You better think again. Ask the million of Americans who are still out of work. Ask the millions of Americans who have lost their homes. You know I could go on and on but I am certain that anyone who is as brainwashed as you probably wouldn't believe what an incompetant, selfish, stupid president he is. So remember down the road when your children are starving, and no one has jobs, or health care worth a darn, how you sang the praises of the man that caused it.
Well, Mewbet I can see you are not an optimist. Why don't YOU go talk to all the families that lost a brother, a sister, a father, a son, a daughter as the blood continues to run. While you are at it, drop by some V.A. hospitals and Physical and Occupational therapy Centers and lend your skills to those people that had their legs, arms, fingers, genitals blown off. Then go to all the broken homes who welcomed home their loved ones suffering from PTSD. Then go comfort the families who lost their loved ones to suicide, that is IF they are alive after their loved one came home in a homicidal rage and killed his wife and children before putting the gun to his or her head or hung his or herself. Go talk to the women who served this country and got rewarded with a rape by their Commanding Officer.
You, Mewbet, FAIL to grasp the gravity of these issues. It appears you would rather spend your time here dissing a man who may not be as perfect as you via an anonymous (no profile) trashing him in order to make the same trite conservative political argument.
Now THAT is a load of CRAP.
@Sebe: I might have gotten a little carried away regarding my post above on Tues. Jan 21 2014 at 7:46. I did it before coffee. Not that that is an excuse or anything but I may have over done it. That is why I am not the MVB on this site. I can run things into the ditch sometimes by being less than diplomatic with you and others.
I apologize. You are a quality guy and I could have parsed my words in a better manner.
Here are a few facts to ponder, when a President has actually led instead pandering and creating even more poverty by increasing the welfare state all of America reap the benefits. Under Obama the rich wealth has increased 95% that's up from 65% during the Bush years. Men in his cabinet make more than women, the Labor Participation rate is at a 35 year low, food stamps at an all time high, less Americans with a full time job and liberals believe the economy has recovered because of a federal government manipulated unemployment number. Someone explain to me how $74,000 jobs are created and the unemployment number drops instead of rising. Why is it ok for Obama to demonize Bush about a 4T national debt in 8 years and 30 thousand for every women, man and child while he racks up 7T national debt in 5 years and over 50 thousand for every women, man and child. All of these he or I accomplishments means nothing and have done nothing to influence and create wealth for all Americans!
Sebe is from Chicago-He's working on a game plan as we speak or he has taking on additional chores...I have to polish up my A game because when he comes back-he's coming back swinging...

2005 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Jamie Nystrom, RRT, RN; Lisa Kahl, RN; Ian Ratner, MD; Jonathon Whitfield, MD; Gerald Nystrom, MD. Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, Dallas, TX.
We reviewed the cardiorespiratory status of infants before and after laser surgery for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) to determine factors that may predict need for respiratory support during or after the laser surgery procedure. Data were available for 44 (96%) of the 46 laser surgery procedures in 43 (98%) of the 44 infants (birth weight 400-980 grams) receiving laser surgery in three major Dallas hospitals from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003. Post-menstrual age at laser surgery appeared to have the greatest impact on the need for additional peri-operative respiratory assistance. All infants ≤ 36 weeks post-menstrual age at laser procedure required respiratory assistance during the laser surgery procedure, including 62% that required peri-operative intubation. Conversely, no infant > 37 weeks post-menstrual age required intubation and only 25% required increase in respiratory support during the laser surgery procedure. Infants 37 weeks post-menstrual age had intermediate findings with 63% requiring either respiratory assistance or peri-operative intubation (see figure).
We conclude strong consideration should be given to electively intubating or increasing the respiratory support of infants ≤ 36 weeks post-menstrual age prior to undergoing laser surgery for ROP. Elective intubation is not routinely needed for infants > 37 weeks post-menstrual age for laser surgery.

Americans trying to make sense of the wave of violent protests against U.S. diplomatic stations that have swept across the Muslim world in the past week are unlikely to find a singular explanation. The American-made film that debases the Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic religion clearly proved to be a ready ignition source: As many critics note, it's akin to shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. But angry Islamists were stoked for trouble well before the degrading, low-budget film, "Innocence of Muslims" -- and more specifically, the trailer on YouTube --provided focus for the latest tinderbox reaction.
Religious and cultural misunderstandings are partial answers. Muslims in a score of countries from Africa to the Middle East to Southeast Asia generally are unaware of, or don't understand, the basic rule of freedom of personal speech that prevents the U.S government, and governments in many other western countries, from imposing harsh strictures on citizens' free-speech rights. In most Muslim-ruled countries, citizens don't enjoy such rights. Their individual liberties are curtailed or denied by strict or tyrannical governments, and offenses bring punishment.
Control of government aside, many mainstream Islamists adhere to larger social and religious tenets that restrain ridicule of different religions outside their own country. They would not feel at liberty to debase another religion elsewhere, so they don't understand why debasement of their religion is allowed by western countries.
Mainstream governments in many Islamic governments, to be sure, allow plenty of street antagonism and suppression of minority religions. Yet however hypocritical, observant Muslims still find it alarming that the United States and other western countries don't appear to honor or protect Muslims' group values in behalf of their religion. And that plays into their group defense of the Muslim religion, which in their view is a higher calling than defense of individual liberties.
There's also more than a decade of poisonous U.S. history in American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and perceived meddling and interference other Muslim countries from Yemen to the Arab Emirates to Pakistan and beyond. Muslims readily cite the dismal abuse of Muslims in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, U.S. soldiers' debasement of Muslim corpses in Afghanistan, denigration and burning of the Koran, drone strikes in several Muslim countries that kill innocents of all ages, and mistreatment of Muslims in Guantanamo Bay.
Other factors cited by Muslim observers as fodder for the protests include frustration on the street with the failure of the Arab Spring movement to bestow democratic reform after the fail of tyrannies; and incitement by rebels, terrorists and al Qaida to stir protests among disgruntled, disillusioned reform advocates. Libyan officials report evidence of the latter in the attack last week in Benghazi that killed four Americans.
President Obama's quick response to shore up military defense of embassy and consular offices and to secure support from host governments appears to be quelling the violent protests. But securing immediate safety is not a remedy for anti-American attacks. The larger problem is how to enhance tolerance and mutual respect for others' religious beliefs, both through foreign policy and at home.
Planned 911 attack U.S. Consulate and the crime of murder, should not be overshadowed by religious extremism.
"The American-made film that debases the Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic religion clearly proved to be a ready ignition source: As many critics note, it's akin to shouting "fire" in a crowded theater."
This is a free country, let me repeat this is a free country. It is offensive that our Country found charges to arrest the film maker. If there was a problem he should have been arrested before the film, not a a convenience arrest.
In our country, Freedom of Speech should not be damped because of zealots.
The fact there is no uprising of Islam in the USA is not surprising at all. Machine guns firing and building burning is met with the National Guard and return fire in our country, and accountability called jail.
Focusing on the movie is offensive, rather than the fact than the crime of murder of our American Consulate and 2 others. We should not even attempt to appease people that justify murder in the name of religion, it is futile.
aae1049, yet you'll find plenty on the Christian Right who do engage in such murders.
I guess the problem isn't confined to a single religion, but is indeed a matter of other circumstance.
Easy123 said... aae,
Don't forget more recent atrocities, Easy123. The Rwandan genocide, where the Hutu Tribe nearly wiped out the Tutsi tribe in a massive massacre, was primarily based on the story of Saul taken from the Christian Bible. Where it's believed some missionaries have purposely taught an extreme and more violent version of western and European religion to uneducated people in primitive and undeveloped countries. The west and Europe just use proxy-servants to commit the same atrocities. Those undeveloped and underdeveloped countries form of government may not be sophisticated and modern enough to have the likes of consulates, but they do have important tribal heads and leaders necessary for the continuation and survival of their people.
There's blood on the hands of powerful nations indirectly involved in all that's taking place in those regions. Baby Jesus Weeping
"I am not convinced that Anti Abortion violence is specific to Christians."
It is pretty specific to Christians. But what does that matter? No one asked for actions that were specific to Christianity.
"That seems reaching."
It's not reaching when there are facts to prove it.
"You guys don't have anything really."
Anything other than hard evidence and proof that Christians have been just as violent and Muslims since the beginning of those religions. Islam just happens to be the meanest dog in the yard currently.
It's highly amusing to watch to attempt to deny and dismiss evidence. Just because you aren't convinced of something doesn't mean it is up for debate or untrue.
YOU ARE REACHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING. You're blind to the truth.
Well, the dust has settled. And while the lame stream media tried their best to protect the administration from it's well deserved criticism of it's abysmal foreign policy, the intelligent people knew the truth the whole time, as evident from the first post from this article, September 18, 2012 at 6:52 a.m

Before ordering this mattress, I read all of the reviews and felt confident in my choice. One thing that I was a bit concerned about was how firm several of them said the mattress was, because I was buying this to replace a very firm innerspring mattress, so I didn't want to exchange one too-firm mattress for another. But, the reviews all said that it was comfortable, so I took the chance. Now, I am a large fellow, standing 6'2" and weighing 270#, so I am writing this review from that perspective. Take it for what it's worth. As I said, many of the reviews stated that the mattress was somewhat firmer than they were expecting, but for me, that has absolutely not been the case. Perhaps if I weighed 120#, that might be the true, but as large as I am, the mattress gives way instantly. If I am sitting up in bed reading a book, then my tailbone is touching the bed's foundation. If sitting on the edge of the bed tying my shoes, the mattress is bottomed out. I'm not saying that the mattress isn't comfortable, because it is...very much so. But, it is much more plush than I was expecting. When lying down so that my weight is evenly distributed, I am comfortable and feel supported, just not as much as I would like. Honestly, I wish that I had gotten a mattress whose foam was a bit denser or would have spent the extra money on the Slumber Solutions 11" mattress with the extra layer of gel. But, for the price I paid and with FREE shipping, I still feel that this was an incredible deal and I have no real regrets. If you're a large person like I am, you might want to look elsewhere if you are in need of a truly supportive mattress, but I would say that this is sufficient. As for the odor, it was a little strong at first but quickly disappeared withing a day or two.
It came on time & with the help of a knife I had it out in mins! I saw a few reviews about the smell but I barely noticed any residual plastic sent. I also saw that it takes 48 hrs to expand to full height requirement; so I put two fans next to it in hopes of speeding up the process. In minutes it measured out to a bit over 8in but I can see even more room to grow in the cover in the next 48. I decided to finally lay down & immediately knew it was the most comfortable bed I've laid upon. Soon to be the envy of all my friends. I've never had a decent bed let alone a gel memory foam. The most affordable of its kind that I was able to find & you can't beat the free shipping on your first purchase when it weighs out over 50lbs!
I've never slept better. Laying on the mattress itself makes me want to doze off into a slumber. My significant other enjoys it as well ;)
I have been an owner of a soft sider water bed for the past 12+ years. I knew it was time to replace the mattress, but was not sure whether to get another water bed or go with something else. Living in a 120+ year old house, I was a little concerned about the additional weight of a water bed upstairs. Have been interested in the iComfort and Tempurpedic gel memory foam beds but couldn't justify the price. Found this gel memory foam mattress by accident. Decided to order it as the price was right. And the description was almost identical to the other expensive brands. I understand "you get what you pay for" is usually the standard....however, not in this case. I put the gel memory foam mattress inside the cover from the water bed, zipped it shut, and it fit perfectly, matches the box springs.. The very first night I slept on it, I fell right to sleep and didn't wake up stiff or sore...slept GREAT. It definitely is much firmer than the water bed, but after a few minutes, you sink into it and IT IS HEAVENLY! For once I made a good decision - sometimes 'cheaper' is BETTER!!
I'm a big guy so I was nervous about being only 8" but does the job perfect.
I put it in our Muphy Bed. All the guests love it. One even ordered one for their house. Very good product
I was vey pleased with this product. The mattress is of very good quality, soft but firm enough.
I have slept all night every night since I've had this- that should say everything. My only issue is that it is much firmer than I thought it would be as I prefer softer mattresses. Overall, it's wonderful.
So it has been 5 months since I purchased this mattress. At first, it was great! I felt like I had gotten a wonderful deal. I still think it is a decent value, but holy cow my back hurts each morning. I had the same problem with my old mattress, but once I put a 4 inch memory foam topper on it I slept like a rock. I randomly decided to get this mattress assuming it would be even better, but I was wrong. I just bought the same memory foam topper (that I had previously) which is a well known brand, to put on top of this mattress because I have been hurting so bad when I wake up. I would say...stick to spending a little more on the initial mattress purchase so you don't end up having to buy things to make this more comfortable.
I have multiple herniated disc from being rear ended in multiple M.V.A's. Both as a passenger and as a driver. This bed is so comfortable. It makes me feel better than any Physical Therapy . This bed cradles my body in places I never knew we're there. I finally get to sleep like I hadn't had in years. I rate this wonderful.
