Birmingham ridges
After three weeks of traveling out west and enjoying some really amazing riding and sightseeing with the family, I have been enjoying a week of riding back in Birmingham. Today's ride typifies the type of ridge riding that you can do here in Birmingham. I started out this ride with a loop on the side of Little Valley Mountain followed by a route crossing all the major ridge lines to Birmingham. Then I turned around and took a different route home recrossing the same ridge lines at different points. After a quick stop at home, I did a loop through Bluff Park bouncing back and forth between the two ridge lines on top of Shades Mountain. That last bit through Bluff Park is shown with ridge and creek crossings highlighted in the first elevation profile and map below:

Strava Climbing Challenge Wrap-up
March 15th – April 30th – 96 rides, 3084 miles and 468,661 feet of climbing – the Strava Specialized Climbing Challenge is done.
Last year I climbed a lot because I really like climbing (and descending). This year in this climbing competition, I was driven by a desire to win so I climbed more and rode much more than I have ever ridden before. Jeremy Philippe still has a chance to win if he has any more rides that he hasn't uploaded yet, and if he does win then he deserves it because all of his climbing was on real mountain climbs in the French Alpes. Earlier in the competition, it was a race to see who could get to the prescribed climbing total 105,312feet first, and Robin Squire in England came out on top there reaching the total in an amazing 9 days. My climbing has been on the short, steep (sometimes super steep) climbs in the southern suburbs of Birmingham. Almost all of my climbing has been on three different ridge lines with hundreds of different roads criss-crossing through neighborhoods on the sides of the hills – see maps below showing only the 96 rides that counted towards the climbing challenge.

Climbing challenge – rides in three states
The nice side effect of all this riding and climbing is that my racing has gotten even better as well. I assumed that there would be a trade-off as I bumped up the volume, my high end intensity would tank. But this didn't happen – instead, I tied an all-time max heartrate at the end of a 422 mile week racing the Mississippi Gran Prix. Then the next week, I finished 26th in a really tough Sunny King criterium with some of the best criterium pros in the country near the end of a 475 mile week. Then towards the end of 510 mile week on the 75th mile of the day I finished in the top 20 (20th) of the Athens Terrapin Twilight criterium. I think there really is something to a term that a friend of mine coined – terrain based training (thanks Warren!) The secret is one word – recovery. Terrain forces you to go easy. If your legs are shredded from racing, then when you climb a hill you have to go so slow that it gives your legs a chance to recover. Whereas if you are on flatter terrain with smaller hills, then you might be tempted to punch it up a hill or maintain a fast speed if it is flat. If you are climbing a 15% grade, then it is easy to go 3-5mph and weave up the entire climb, and there is no mental pressure to go even the slightest bit faster. Plus you have a downhill coming up soon where you can coast, soft pedal, or tuck-and-fly instead of having to keep on pedaling on a long mountain descent or on flat roads. I'm going to write up some more about my training strategies in another post.
For now, here are some highlights/timeline from the final day of the challenge:
- 7:30AM – walk the kids to school
- 8:15AM – first ride – commute to samford with mind-numbing 25 repeats of skyland dr – 40+mph to 5mph each repeat
- 9:20AM – teach languages and theory course at samford
- 10:30AM – help student with senior project
- 11:30AM – second ride – run into Mark Fisher (almost literally) while doing more repeats on skyland – ride together doing some of my favorite climbs/descents in vestavia
- 2:50PM – finish second ride and pick up kids from school (literally – see photo below)
- 3:15PM – third ride – combine mountain brook climbing route with hoover – bluff park climbing route – new max speed coming back down from bluff park
- 6:45PM – finish third ride, shower, and go on date with kristine while grandparents babysit the kids – firebirds for dinner, world market, barnes and noble coffee, awesome
- 9:30PM – upload data – see that Jeremy hasn't uploaded any more rides – start to get paranoid
- 10:45PM – fourth ride – laps in the dark, tired but full of adrenaline, hammer out 30 laps
- 11:50PM – upload last ride and screenshots, for some reason i really wanted to get all my data uploaded before midnight
Kristine got a video of Analise and Josiah running with me up the hill to our house on what I thought was going to be my last ride of the day. See video below:

Between my third and fourth rides, Kristine and I had an awesome date night.
Climbing analysis
Today was a really hard ride … no racing this weekend (sadly) since the Barbers race was cancelled this year. So I did a bit of race simulation by picking out the longest climb in the Birmingham area (Pumphouse – Vestavia Dr) and trying to take back the KOM on it. I also picked out two other climbs to hit hard – one before the Pumphouse climb and one after it. The Vestavia Falls to Vestavia Lake overlook climb came shortly after the Pumphouse climb. I had gone hard enough on the Pumphouse Climb to be hyperventilating across the top down to chester and then nearly fall over climbing up chester so I had only barely pulled it together by the time I hit the Vestavia Falls climb. By the top of this third KOM effort for the day, I had so little upper body strength left from pulling on the bars that I felt something was wrong with my wheels/tires because any bump or small gust of wind would knock me a little sideways. I realized later that it was because I had nothing left in the muscles to compensate for the normal riding conditions. Thankfully this only lasted a short ways back down the descent. Still, I was somewhat shell-shocked from the back-to-back efforts, and it wasn't until I had made it over closer to Bluff Park that I was starting to feel normal again. The rest of the ride was at a much harder than normal tempo to try to minimize total ride time given that today is my wife's birthday, and we were heading out to the cheesecake factory for a late birthday lunch.
Here are the iBike stats on the KOMs I set today (in order) -

The pumphouse climb is the longest climb in the immediate Birmingham area (that I know of). It is just over 4.5 miles long with nearly 750ft of vertical diff from the low point near the Cahaba River to the highest point on the Shades Mountain ridge on Vestavia Dr. There are also two stop lights, three stop signs, and three downhills on the climb so the total elevation gain is well over 850ft. What was really interesting today is that there was a steady, firm breeze blowing from the west and yet I had a tailwind on most of the pumphouse climb which should have been straight into the headwind. The deep valleys in Birmingham sometimes get colder in the mornings than the top of the ridge lines. Then during mid to late morning and even early afternoon, you get an updraft on the hills as the air warms in the valleys and rises. Note in the iBike screenshot below zoomed into the pumphouse climb that there is a headwind on the flats and downhills and a tailwind on the uphills. This wasn't just erroneous wind readings on the ibike, it was really obvious when you were hitting the headwind and when you had the tailwind.

Today was an easy day with a big criterium tomorrow in Dothan. I spent most of the ride looking for good hills in the shade to do repeats on. The nice thing about the hills through neighborhoods like Bluff Park and Green Valley is that you can practice criterium cornering using gravity to help you accelerate up to crit speed rather than wearing yourself out trying to punch it up to 30mph to head into a corner. The course tomorrow has a pretty good hill so that will make for a bit of climbing, but I'm likely to be even farther behind Robin who is crushing the climbing over in England. Jeremy in France is catching up with his climbing in the Alps, and Guido from Australia is not too far behind. That's four riders in three different continents pushing hard in the Strava virtual competition. That's the beauty of Strava — bringing riders from all over for virtual competition.
Lots of climbing stats
Today was quite a combination of rides — hitting a new personal record of shortest distance to 5,000′ of vertical gain on the way into work and then hitting 5,000′ ft again in less than 30 miles on the way home from work. Both rides were pretty slow with lots of weaving on the steep parts and several roller coaster repeats. The best thing about the roller coaster repeats is that they are insanely fast in the 53×11 on the descents and then nearly instantly into the 39×28 — that's a lot of wear and tear on the derailleurs. No wonder I have broken three front and one rear derailleur in the past year and snapped several cables.

It's Sunday – a great day for two flats
Well, this makes two weeks in a row of two flats on Sunday. Last week, two flats might have cost me a podium at Rouge Roubaix. This week, I had two flats on the way to church, but just like last week where thanks to a quick change from the motorcycle wheel support, it all worked out just fine. Today's ride started out really great with the typical Skyland – Dolly Ridge – Caldwell Mill climbing. I was looking for a hillier way to get over to Hugh Daniel and ended up discovering a really cool climb up onto (literally) the Healthsouth Corporate Headquarters helicopter landing pad. Very cool! Then on the fun, fast, twisty descent out the backside of Healthsouth, I pinch flatted on a drainage cover at the back gate. I thought I would practice a quick change, and I thought everything went well, but I flatted again about 5 miles later just before the top of the Hugh Daniel – Greystone Crest climb. The flat was on both sides of the valve stem so it looks like I might not have had the tube in straight after the first flat. I didn't have any more tubes, but I did have a patch kit. It turns out that my original flat was a snake bite in one location and a small gash in another location. Two patches later I was able to pump up the original tube that had flatted first and continue on to church. Thankfully, I made it because after church the tire was completely flat again. So I just caught a ride over to grandma's house with Kristine, and we had a nice afternoon together as a family. I'll definitely take that any day of the week – flat or no flat!
When we got home, I tried to get a picture of the whole near the valve stem when a chipmunk wandered into the view finder literally a foot or so away from me. Then as I was trying to take a picture of the chipmunk eating some nuts, a beautiful female cardinal landed right behind the chipmunk. A little while later another bird landed but I couldn't get a good picture of it. Here are the pics:
Shades Mountain and Red Mountain climbing
Annotated view of the Big Momma (West Oxmoor Rd) climb
Fun, hard ride today. I didn't have any particular goal in mind other than steady tempo climbing for most of the ride and a KOM attempt on the West Oxmoor Rd climb (Big Momma). Big Momma is a moderately steep climb that starts out really steep and then gradually gets shallower and shallower as you get closer to the top. I've tried at least once to take back this KOM and fell far short. Today, I wanted to give it another go. Along the way I did a lot of steady climbing over in Mountain Brook and Irondale.
Then, as I headed over to Red Mountain I started to get antsy (sp?) to go hard. I hit Woodcrest kinda hard and then as I got closer to the top I felt really good so I drilled it. Crossing over the Red Mountain ridge at the top, I took the Warwick Dr neighborhood cut-through to descend back down towards Five Points South, but I missed a light and turned early onto 12th (I think) and climbed back up the ridge again before heading all the way back down the ridge again into UAB campus. This felt a bit like what I would imagine most of the Tour of Flanders would feel like – climbing up cobbled steep roads and turning around at the top to descend down before turning around at the bottom to climb back up the same ridge line on a different cobbled road. Check out the topocreator map and elevation profile below.

The main difference being that instead of cobblestones in downtown Birmingham, you just get sections of really crappy pavement with potholes, bumps, and rough pavement mixed in with whatever random section of road has been repaved recently and is perfectly smooth. I went hard from UAB all the way up the Red Mountain Water Tower climb – around one of the closed gates (hello cyclocross) and ended up setting the KOM on that climb as well. I've updated the annotations on the panoramic picture of Red Mountain that I have posted on a previous ride.

Finally, it was time to head down Valley Avenue over to West Oxmoor and do the climb. By the bottom of the climb I had already climbed almost 8500 ft and set two KOMs, but I was still feeling good when I hit the climb. I started out way too hard and struggled at the top but it was enough to take the KOM. Afterwards I stopped by a Starbucks to get some water after it turns out that the Hoover Burger King has replaced its nice soda fountain with easy access cold water with one of those silly fancy "Mix your own drink" coke machine. I had run out of water just before the Big Momma KOM so I had been out for a little while. The iced cold water from Starbucks though was perfect. I headed back up Shades Mountain through Bluff Park at a much easier pace and ended up running out of water 20 miles later close to home. Hot, hard, fun ride!

Very bright ruby-red. Piercing aromas of redcurrant, strawberry, blueberry, violet, mint and flowers. Very rich and fresh in the mouth, if not quite as vibrant as the nose. Strong flavor of black raspberry. Harmonious acids nicely frame the fruit. Ultimately quite smooth. Finishes with firm tannins and very good length.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Quote: Excellent capture, i would be curious to see it in portrait mode, just to compare ( maye effect would be different, not necessary better, really don't know)
I think it would confuse the shot because the grass on the left would just be there on the edge of the frame rather than a source of where it came from and also the blades of grass seem to frame the beak.
I really appreciate the comment as it makes me look at the shot your way and actually analyse the comp more, so thank you

Her History in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women
Her mum named her Pixie because she was a "tiny, cute baby who looked like a fairy".
Pixie got all As in her GCSEs, the massive swot.
She graced the cover of FHM's October 2009 edition.
For the past 15 years, Britain has been looking for its answer to Britney Spears, but every candidate has turned out to be flawed in some way: Joss Stone mutated into an American; Natasha Bedingfield did a duet with her creepy brother; and Charlotte Church got bored of the whole thing before she'd even started. But a potential solution arrived in the slinky form of smoky-eyed Essex gal Pixie Lott.
The numbers speak for themselves: Pixie's debut single, Mama Do, shifted a quarter of a million copies and entered the charts at number one: Billie Piper is the only other solo UK female artist to ever debut at pole position without first having been moulded on reality TV. Her debut album, Turn It Up, has been certified double platinum. That's like, twice the standard amount of platinum.
With an equally successful second album under her belt, Pixie is working hard to give Blighty its very own Britney. Now if she could just take things to the next level by marrying a bozo wannabe rapper and then shaving her head, we could really be in business...

"Sorry to email you late on a Friday, but I need your urgent support," Nancy Pelosi wrote me.
SAN DIEGO - Just because you're well-known doesn't mean you're well-informed.
WASHINGTON - The president's demeanor is worrying a lot of people. From the immigration crisis on the Mexican border to the Islamic State rising in Mesopotamia, Barack Obama seems totally detached. When he does interrupt his endless rounds of golf, fundraising and photo ops, it's for some affectless, mechanical, almost forced public statement.
"You are all a lost generation."
WASHINGTON - Israel accepts an Egyptian-proposed Gaza cease-fire; Hamas keeps firing.
"Here's the difference between us," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained on "Fox News Sunday." "We're using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles."
All you need to do is look at the headlines out of Central America to see why tens of thousands of children are ending up at our border.
WASHINGTON - As is his wont, Barack President Obama is treating the border crisis - more than 50,000 unaccompanied children crossing illegally - as a public relations problem. Where to photo op and where not. He still hasn't enunciated a policy. He may not even have one.
Abortion-rights protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court building Monday holding signs that read "Birth Control: Not My Boss's Business."
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court this week admonished the Environmental Protection Agency for overreaching in regulating greenhouse gases. The Clean Air Act covers polluters that emit 250 tons per year (or in some cases, 100 tons). This standard makes no sense if applied to greenhouse gases. Thousands of establishments from elementary schools to grocery stores would be, absurdly, covered. So the EPA arbitrarily chose 100,000 tons as the carbon dioxide threshold.
It's a fact of human nature that it's easier to talk about who's to blame for a problem than it is to figure out what to do about the problem.
SAN DIEGO -- Did House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lose his re-election bid in Virginia because he was too soft on immigration, or because he was too hard on immigration?
The recent return to U.S. military control of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is curiously similar to the case of another American serviceman who spent years either as a collaborator with, or a prisoner of, enemy forces before being released, that of Marine Pfc. Robert Garwood.
For understandable reasons, the IRS scandal has largely focused on the political question of whether the White House deliberately targeted opponents. To date there's no evidence that it did.
WASHINGTON - Yes, it is true that there was no al-Qaida in Iraq when George W. Bush took office. But it is equally true that there was essentially no al-Qaida in Iraq remaining when Barack Obama took office.
Historic. Such is the ubiquitous description of the climate agreement recently announced in Beijing between Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in which China promised for the first time to cap carbon emissions.
The European Space Agency's Rosetta project accomplished one of the most impressive scientific feats in our lifetime. It essentially moved a clunky machine from one speeding bullet onto another, by remote control, from 310 million miles away. It's hoped this achievement will help usher in a new era of space exploration by teaching us how to exploit the raw materials swirling around the solar system. Also, it was really cool.
News that Pope Francis will visit the U.S. next year for the triennial World Meeting of Families brings elation to Catholics, excitement to pope watchers - and perhaps a little chagrin to some who too soon interpreted Francis' broad compassion as a precursor to doctrinal changes related to marriage.
It's not exactly the Ems Dispatch (the diplomatic cable Bismarck doctored to provoke the 1870 Franco-Prussian War). But what the just-resurfaced Gruber Confession lacks in world-historical consequence, it makes up for in world-class cynicism.
In the old Soviet Union, Kremlinologists would read the state party newspaper Pravda not so much for the news it contained, but to glean what the commissars wanted readers to believe the commissars were thinking.

About Allen Price
I've come to realize how much I enjoy enhancing the value of a home, so I now call myself a 'property manager'. My wife, Carol, is a first grade teacher and we also have 3 children who have young families in Calif. and Indiana. When I'm not playing with property design, I'm probably out training on my bike or reading or writing something. Owning this piece of 'Ocean Heaven', that we also get to enjoy, makes us feel deeply fortunate indeed.
Allen Price purchased this cottage in 2006
Why Allen Price chose Half Moon Bay
We never planned, in a million years, to buy an ocean side property. Yet, one day after visiting at the nearby lighthouse, I expressed a long-held desire to 'just see inside' a house perched beside the Pacific. Within minutes a 'For Sale' sign appeared and we couldn't resist. We were knocked out by the view... and the price! It was not just a 'slice of the ocean'... but a panoramic view! Recovering several hours later, we started having 'Purpose of Life' conversations. Soon, the house was ours.
What makes this cottage unique
It's intimate and simple with many private spaces to savor. The Writer's Cottage below the lower patio is a world away.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"Our stay here was just incredible. This was a perfect way for 4 sisters to be together to enjoy each other's company, stories, tears, and laughter. This gave us a chance to enjoy a little bit of heaven right here on this beautiful earth."
25 Jul 09 - Mary Ellen Trice & 3 sisters, Pasadena, CA

) cream cheese, softened
1 medium head cabbage, shredded
2 large carrots, shredded
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Carrot curls, optional
In a saucepan, combine the first six ingredients until smooth. Bring
to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until
thickened. Stir a small amount into the eggs. Return all to
saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture reaches
160°. Cool for 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until melted.

We already know that Zac Posen is planning to show in a smaller venue, for a more intimate feel. And now we hear that one-time Abercrombie and Fitch model, Dree Hemingway, is the first girl announced to walk for Calvin Klein. The heiress to the Hemingway literary legacy exclusively walked for Ricardo Tisci at Givenchy in Paris last season, and rumours are that she will be popping up in London, Milan and the French capital as well. We look forward to welcoming Ernest's great grand-daughter into the fashion fold!

Contractors Invest in Capacity and Capabilities
Biologics development
SAFC Commercial has installed a new commercial-scale continuous flow reactor at its Sheboygan, WI, facility with capacity to produce up to 150 kg of product per day. The reactor is complemented by a smaller pilot-scale continuous flow reactor that is being fabricated at a nearby Milwaukee facility to carry out process optimization studies and manufacturing capability of up to 30 kg of product per day.
Gallus BioPharmaceuticals is using an ambr15 micro bioreactor system from TAP Biosystems to optimize process development and clone selection of novel antibody therapeutics and biosimilars in the company's process development facility in St. Louis, MO. The system is being used for clone selection programs to determine which chinese hampster ovary cell lines are stable and produce the highest titre monoclonal antibodies. The scientists use the ambr system to optimize media selection and feed strategies for these mAbs, which are being developed as antibody therapeutics and biosimilars.
Oral dosage forms
Molecular Profiles has invested in GMP hot-melt extrusion technology along with other milling equipment. The expansion is part of a wider project focusing on enabling technologies to accelerate formulation development, particularly for complex molecules that are difficult to progress. The company opened its new clinical production site in July 2013 following a successful inspection from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Aesica Pharmaceuticals is adding services in its oral solids capability including a new roller compaction unit for dry granulation production in Zwickau, Germany. The new roller compaction unit uses a continuous production step that enhances product uniformity and has been undertaken following a market demand for pharmaceutical formulation technologies that enable the formulation of APIs otherwise inhibited by the presence of water.
Onyx Scientific, a UK-based CRO, has announced plans to invest in continuous flow manufacturing to allow its customers to explore alternatives during product research and development programs. The company intends to adopt a more novel approach to manufacturing API in a bid to overcome the often time-consuming and costly process of batch manufacturing.
Hovione and Merrion Pharmaceuticals are partnering on the use of Merrion's patented GIPET absorption-enhancing technology by Hovione clients. Hovione will use GIPET as a method to address the permeability limitations of Biopharmaceutics Classification System class III and IV drugs and to develop tablet formulations for compounds that otherwise may have been administered by injection.
Filling and packaging
Almac has added new blistering technology at their US packaging facility in Audubon, PA, as a solution to ease the transition between clinical and commercial launch of blister products. The Klockner EAS blister line can produce a range of blister formats processing both thermoform and coldform materials.
Aesica Pharmaceuticals S.r.l. has announced the launch of a QAD integrated serialization system at its site in Pianezza to comply with change from China's Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The new requirements brought forward by CFDA cut the serialization implementation deadline from 12 months to three months.

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- Broadwind Energy says the work to fill a $35 million order for wind turbine towers will be done at its Manitowoc facility.
Broadwind said Thursday the order, from a U.S. wind turbine manufacturer, includes towers for various domestic wind projects. The company expects to deliver the towers this year.
Broadwind CEO Peter Duprey says the level of activity in the company's tower business remains strong. The company is based in Cicero, Ill., and has about 800 employees at facilities across the country.

Kittilä (Inari Sami: Kittâl, Northern Sami: Gihttel) is a municipality of Finland and a popular holiday resort.
It is located in northern Finland north of the Arctic Circle within the area of the former Lappi province. The municipality has a population of 6,423 (30 September 2014)[2] and covers an area of 8,262.67 square kilometres (3,190.23 sq mi) of which 168.71 km2 (65.14 sq mi) is water.[1] The population density is 0.79 inhabitants per square kilometre (2.0/sq mi).
The ski resort Levi is situated in Kittilä on Levi Fell (in Finnish "Levitunturi") (elevation 531 metres (1742 feet)). The resort hosts a slalom event early each season on the Alpine World Cup circuit and offers both downhill and cross-country skiing to the public, as well as snow shoeing, including to the next nearest fell, Kätkätunturi, located west of Levitunturi. Kätkätunturi is 504.6 metres (1,656 ft) high and 7 kilometres (4 mi) long.
On 5 June 2006, it was announced that a Canadian mining corporation Agnico-Eagle Mines will start a new gold mine in Kittilä. Once completed, it will be the biggest gold mine in Europe. Experts say that the deposits hold at least three million ounces of pure gold, by current market price worth 1.8 billion U.S.dollars. The mine is expected to produce an average of 150,000 ounces of gold annually for at least 13 years.
Kittilä Airport is served by Blue1, Finnair & Finncomm Airlines. Thomson Airways and Monarch Airlines also serve the airport from various UK bases as part of their programme of ski flights, as well as Christmas specials and flights in support of the When You Wish Upon A Star children's foundation. Thomas Cook Airlines also fly to Kittilä Airport from Bristol & Gatwick Airport between November to April every year.
Kittilä is also famous for being the location of the lowest recorded temperature in Finnish history: −51.5 °C (−60.7 °F), measured in January 1999 in Pokka.

Parliament to probe military kit issues
A new inquiry has begun into the way the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) procures and maintains the nation's defence equipment. Parliament's Defence committee - a cross-party group of fourteen MPs - says it's happy for people to email them with information of interest. According to the Committee's announcement the inquiry will be …
smell like something
why would a country obay another country rules if theyre at war with them. theres enough engineers in briton to make any part of any engine. or to just make the whole engine anyway. it wouldnt even cost £100m to research and design and produce
Wot wee realy kneed
Is sumon to go into thu banks from the army and sort out everythink. That is the way the guverment should do.
got it. with a meh
obey and britain. would change nothing. countrys is a singular in my use. while countries is multiple. day without constant coffees and a big chicken salad. bacon and mushroom sarnie,. harder the die hard. take all 48 anadin extra on the way home
Get the format right
Word or RTF? Tsk, tsk. What's the matter with plain text? I know that the international standard ODF is too much to ask.
You can comply with Joint Services Publication 101 - The Defence Writing Guide (no, really) for extra brownie points. Link here:
Just send them each a copy of your book
It wont cost much, after all I got my copy from the remainder bin,
Oh, sorry.
But I did enjoy reading it, and it should prove a good primer for them. Perhaps you could get a role as an advisor...
A few things.......
You can't really be proposing that the blackhawk would be more suitable. Its a medium lift helicopter when the Lynx is a light helicopter.
By the way having work in the defence industry even if the government decided to buy some 'off the shelf' kit from overseas the MoD would want to make a few 'adjustments' and then keep changing their mind so doubling (at least) the cost.
Also the Future Lynx engine is made by a joint venture of Roll Royce so its not like we wouldn't be able to make it here if we really needed.
turn on your ipod nano and listen to your drum n bass
So how long would a war have to last...
...until autarky in "deep engine knowledge locked away in overseas brains" became a factor? Dreaming of holding out against the forces of darkness à la "Battle of Britain"? 21st century protip: Win your airwar the first day.
Send 'em DOCX or MSOOXML...
Hey, they didn't say WHICH version of Word.
Heck, if you got the deluxe version use your own DTD and send that one (sans DTD).
WHY is text, plain old ASCII text not suitable? I don't know of ANY office document system which cannot manage plain ASCII text.
Mind you, I suspect they'd assume there's no such thing as UTF or EBCDIC.
The future lynx engines will be maintained at Fleetlands...
Military kit overpriced and outdated?
Someone should write a book about it...
plain text
maybe they have a filter on email clients or firewall. and word and rtf are allowed from public addresses

Shootout Yields Grisly Find
Man suspected of murdering son of former Texas governor opens fire on police.
The son of former Texas Governor Bill Clements has been killed.
Tyler police and members of the Henderson County Sheriff's Department found B. Gill Clements' body buried on a shallow grave on his neighbor's ranch.
The grisly find came after a dramatic shootout with Clements' neighbor, Howard Tod Granger.
Clements disappeared late Thursday night, and a search of his ranch began Friday.
As sheriff's deputies neared the border of neighbor Howard Tod Granger's land while searching for Clements on Friday, Granger met them with an AK-47 rifle, and threatened to kill them all.
Tyler Police supplied an armored vehicle and SWAT unit, and Sheriff Ray Nutt returned with a search warrant Friday afternoon
"At that point he opened fire with an AK-47," said Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt.
"It took over 40 rounds on this vehicle," Tyler Officer Don Martin added.
Granger met them with gunfire.
"We returned fire, one shot, and the suspect was killed," Nutt said.
On Granger's property they found what they all feared the most.
"We located a grave on the property," said the Sheriff.
In that shallow grave was a body now positively identified as B. Gill Clements.
Granger's wife has been taken into custody, and Sheriff's Deputies are thankful for an ugly truck that kept them safe.
The why and the how of the killing of B. Gill Clements are yet to be determined.
Sheriff Nutt says that they are piecing together a picture of Howard Tod Granger, and that his wife may be able to fill the blanks of a tragic and strange crime.
The son of former Governor Bill Clements, B. Gill Clements took over the reigns of his father's oil exploration company Sedco.
It was later sold and became Transocean, best known these days as one of the companies involved in the BP oil spill.
He was also the head of the B. Gill Clements Foundation, a philanthropic non-profit organization.
He was a quiet, peaceful man according to friends.
That's why the events of Friday night have authorities mystified.

Anyone come accross this one ?
Brand new kit - build image all fine - will it install the MSI's from it's linked GPO ? No.
The PC boots up fine - XP [ SP3 on a 2003 server ]
PC boots, [ very quickly ] you get a flash on applying network settings then the normal logon screen - logon fine no problems.
Stick an old PC on [ same GPO ] and re-deploy the MSIs and they re-deploy no problem on the old kit, on the new kit [ now on third PC out of 25 ] they won't !!
The PCs are in the same GPO - the only thing I can think of is the new ones are having the names of the old ones but they have new SIDs because of the sysprep on the build.
So I am at a complete loss as to why they won't install any MSIs, and I have moved the PC into different GPOs with different MSIs etc and still they won't install !! I have forced policy updates, I have tried everything but still nothing - what have I missed ?

Centre for Nordic Studies CENS
Center for Nordic Studies (CENS) is a research unit with the aim of identifying and analyzing the particular factors that make the Nordic countries Nordic. These factors, historical experiences, societal arrangements, cultural voicing and political conduct, are approached and embarked as fields of tensions and contestation, with agencies striving at different sorts of goals. The analyses aim thus to avoid essentialization of the culture and the political life of the Nordic countries. What unites and what differs are equally important.
The Nordic countries are studied in their international context acknowledging the challenges of the globalised world. The question of regionalization is of particular importance. To what extent is it fruitful to analyze the Nordic countries as a particular region, historically or in contemporary world, a region with common historical experiences and/or a region with a common agenda in the world? To what extent are the national identities in the different Nordic countries constructed reflexively as particular expressions of countries of a particular Nordic type? Especially topical is to ask what the Nordic countries have to put on the table in international discussion as examples of best/good practices or cautionary example of bad practices.
The perspective of Norden in the world and the world in Norden necessitates that CENS enters into a dialogue with agencies and research partners outside the Nordic countries. Integrating an outside perspective have decisively helped CENS to become an important international arena, attracting young as well as experienced researchers to work at or together with CENS.
CENS is organising the seminar Nordisk offentlighet in Helsinki 21 November.

In a spider web.
Unlike other spotting-http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/421136052- this is on another kind of 'yam vine'. Or entirely another plant?
A 2 cm long locust like insect in the mud. Is it covered with mud? Or emerging from its nest nearby? New born?
By all means I am trying to identify this insect. Hardly 2 cm. long, clinging to medium sized and canopy trees. I see them only in Arippa forest.
Something suspended from a silk thread.
This crazy, scary looking 'combo' insect was spotted on my staircase under fallen leaves. It looks like a spider, beetle and has a grasshopper head with long antenna, and there is a dead ant on its back.
Hardly 2 cm long.

Ancient Delphi, town of Apollo, once held the most important oracle in all of Greece. Sitting in the shadow of Mount Parnassus, it is well worth a visit.

You need to take this tour and get out of town. Athens is dirty and disgusting, they need to clean it up.

At ehe last minute we booked a private tour for Athens. I thought our other tour guides / drivers were good. This was the best as to being informative and extremly knowledgeable. I was also impress by his use of the english launague. He hot onlt showed us ALL that was to see in Athens but he went on to explain the monatary problem that Greece is experiencing, at least in his view. Very interesting. One thing he took us to wa the changing of the gard at the tomb of the unknown soilder. It was so different and a must see. After so many ruins in other cites the 'other stuff' was intresting. Again we went places that tour buses could not get into.
We wanted to experience a local greek resturant, which he took us too whch was an outdoor resturant in the Plaka area. The food wa great, the people watching was terreffic with lots of tourists and the wait staff was a riot. Another great tour with lots of memories.

We had been to Athens before, so didn't take the usual Acropolis and Athens type tours. We did want to see Delphi, so this excursion was perfect for us. Delphi is three hours away from Athens, take the excursion and avoid the risk of not making it back on the ship. The ship literally sailed just after our busload reboarded... We were the last ones on.
However, it appears that NCL is no longer offering the Delphi tour. I can no longer find the listing on their website, though it may reappear in the future.

My husband can't eat tomato-based sauces, so I was trying to come up with something for him to eat when we eat spaghetti. This was it -- the kids even liked it and hubby had to fight them for it! I didn't actually measure the amounts for the meatballs, except the chicken and egg, but I think these are pretty close. I prepared the meatballs earlier in the day, so this was easy to toss together at dinnertime.

how to measure yourself
posted: December 3, 2009
Liz guides us through some best practices on how to find the perfect fit!
• Measure around the largest part of the bust.
• Keep the measuring tape straight across the front and back.
• Keep your arms at your sides
• Breathe out (we tend to hold our breath when taking measurements)
Finding the natural waist is important. The natural waist is higher than most think; about 1 inch above your belly button. To find your natural waist, follow the photo below:
• Bend to either side. Where your body bends is the natural waist.
• Keep the measuring tape straight across the front and back.
• Breathe out (we tend to hold our breath when taking measurements)
• Measure around the largest part of your hips and bottom.
• Be sure that the measuring tape is straight across the front and back.
Now you can take this new education and find the perfect garment for every athletic venture! Have fun!

It's so good to know how to do this — especially when creating a wishlist this time of year!
Great advice – I live in Hawaii and we get a lot of shoppers from the "neighbor islands" who call and ask about the fit & measurements, etc. Now we can refer them to this blog!
Hello all. WOW itsnt this new blog just great! Now we can get each others opions. Now, I was wondering. I am about to get a lululemon remix hoodie. This is my first time and I have to order online, therefor I wont be able to try it on. And i was wondering, are sizes 2 and 4 the same lenght on the body and the same length on the arms? Can someone PLEASE help me! this would be so greatly apprichated!
For the bust, are you talking about shirts and not bras? Because for bras, I've always been told it's actually right below the breast and the cup size determines the largest part around.
Great post
How can you measure & maintain personal performance in varying work conditions, and contingencies?

The hotel lies in a beautiful relative quiet environment ( noise from the street) - the transfer is terrible-if you in the so-called rush hour is, you need for approximately 65 kilometer from the airport already times 2 hours - there are shops no, so you may be on the way for the excursions a little shopping. Water, etc. - apart from that the hotel appears to be clean, the staff are very friendly... If you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of this huge city would like to be is this hotel very recommendable. read hotel review

Sony PCM-M10 - Top-notch pocketable field recorder
by TreDay on 11-25-2014 05:54 PM Since I've purchased the M10 a few months ago, it's been my sole recorder for both outdoor field recording ambiances and also studio recording sound effects. It's also easy to keep in my pocket to carry around and record random sounds that I encounter while I'm on the go. The first thing you notice about the PCM-M10 is that it's extremely compact, about the size of a small cellphone, though a bit thicker. It features 8GB of internal storage with a slot for a MicroSD card or Sony's proprietary M2 format for more storage and both a microphone and line input in addition to the two onboard omnidirectional microphones. The omnidirectional mics are actually quite usable and relatively quiet for cheap onboard microphones. They actually have a bit of wind protection under the casing, making them usable outdoors on mildly windy days without requiring a fuzzy wind protector. It's important to note that the M10 doesn't have any XLR inputs and it doesn't supply phantom power, so you'll have to use a phantom power supply or a separate mixer like the Sound Devices MixPre-D to power condenser microphones if they aren't battery powered. The M10 is able to record in PCM format up to 24-bit/96KHz. It's also capable of recording in encoded MP3 in 3 bitrates: 64kbps, 128kbps, and 320kbps. One problem with the M10 is that even when using an external microphone you cannot record in mono. I do most of my recording with the M10 for one shot sound effects so I don't actually need stereo recordings too often, therefore I have to manually strip or downmix in my 2-track audio editor to get a mono recording. A mild annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless. The build quality is great. It's mostly plastic with an aluminum face, but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. There's no loose parts wiggling around and it feels very solid. There is some handling noise when you use the onboard mics, so you need to be careful with your hands while recording. The interface is decent, but you need to dig through menus quite a bit when it comes to enabling options and features as the front panel is very simplified with just the transport buttons and a few other utility buttons like changing what the display shows and an options menu button. There's a roller knob on the side that controls your recording level and a rocker switch on the other side that controls your line out volume. The preamps are very quiet, especially for a handheld recorder in this price range. I use a Rode NT1A, NT3, and NT5 with a Denecke PS-1A as a power supply as my main microphones when recording sound effects in my studio. The results are clean and clear with low noise, definitely capable of professional quality recordings. I used a Zoom H4n briefly before buying the M10 and found both the mics and preamps quite noisy in comparison (though still usable!), so I returned that and purchased the M10. That said, the line out when using headphones is actually quite noisy, even when set to headphone mode, it's mostly only useful for simple monitoring. The display isn't very big, but the backlighting is sufficient and the volume levels take up a good portion of the LCD screen so they're easy to see even in low light situations. When using the onboard mics, there's actually two LEDs on the top left and right corners that will light up green or red to give you a quick reference for your volume levels as well. Two of my favorite features of the M10 are the exceptionally good battery life and the Cross-Memory recording. Sony handheld products in general are usually pretty good about battery life and the M10 is fantastic in this regard. Two AA batteries will power the unit for over 30-40 hours before you'll need to replace them. In real world time, this can end up lasting weeks or months unless you're doing very long recording sessions on a regular basis. The Cross-Memory recording will seamlessly switch from the internal storage to your MicroSD card once the internal storage fills up without stopping a take. A very handy feature that will give you some peace of mind during those really long recording sessions. The M10 has a built-in limiter and low cut filter to help reduce some wind and low frequency ambient noises, but it's not as configurable as some other handheld recorders in this price range that let you specify the frequency you want to cut at, it's just a simple on-off option. It's an awesome little recorder for not much money. If you can get past the lack of XLR and phantom power, it's an easy recommendation. It's small, has decent onboard microphones, quiet preamps, and some excellent quality of life features like the cross-memory recording and best-in-class battery life. Pros: + Great build quality + Superb battery life + Decent omnidirectional microphones + Quiet preamps + Cross-Memory recording so you don't need to stop a take and switch from internal to external storage + Small and portable + Affordable (about $200-250 USD new) Cons: - No XLR or Phantom Power - Can only record in stereo - Some menu diving necessary to turn on and off features Read more on Audiofanzine

Behringer V-Tone GMX112 - Fun Amp for Home and Beginners
by aswilliams on 11-25-2014 04:39 AM The GMX 112 is a 60 watt analog modelling amp with a Bugera speaker. It has all of the effects that a typical guitarist could hope to use along with 3 amp models and different gain types. Visually, it is a pleasant amp to look at. I has a "vintage" look to it and color coded led lights for reference in low lighting. The knobs and decal on the front look cheap but I never had a problem with them breaking. On the front panel there are two sets of knob controls for drive, EQ (low, mid, high), and level for each of the 2 channels. To the right of these are controls for selecting and editing effects.

XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 Artist - Not happy at all!
by almaloca on 11-25-2014 01:20 AM I will not give my opinion on the product since I could not try it! and for good reason, this version does not work in 32-bit because it is too greedy. Maybe, but then why not specify it in the product file?!? so far, no problem, I go to the dealer where I bought it, German magazine not to mention it, and was told that the software is not exchangeable or refundable. (Such as panties) after multiple exchanges with technicians at xln, we finally suggested that I switch to 64 bits. sincerely, that one, I could find my own! I have no desire to get into such a project, especially that my software is not all compatible with 64bit. that I did learn what use are trial versions! I still find it a bit contemptuous from xln not be clear about this. never mind, I returned home ez drum, and I am satisfied. Read more on Audiofanzine

Rivera Rake Head 55 - The best of Rivera amps?
by opa2134a on 11-24-2014 11:07 PM 55W all-tube, 80, pushed by 2xEL34 and five 12AX7 / ECC83 preamp. No grinder. Two low / Hi inputs, two outputs hp (selector 4/8/16), two channels (Fender / Marshall), with a very specific equa, and several types of voicing via push pull (mid notch, bright, boost) Presence of a potentiometer and a FOCUS (reply Hp), buffered effects loop with volume, a pro amp! FS7 a footswitch to change channels or trigger a boost (adjustable on mine) This amp gives a range of impressive, with the base a thick and rich sound, a huge pool of low medium, and never aggressive treble. The choice of cabinet is critical to get the most for my part, a closed 1x12 with a G1265 Rola, and an open baffle with a G12T85 UK. My fifth RIVERA, all the others, I have sold the one, I keep it!

Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog VA-1 - A Virtual Analog workhorse!
by TreDay on 11-24-2014 11:02 PM Ultra Analog VA-1's installation and setup process uses a standard challenge and response registration system. Once you start to use it, the user interface is immediately familiar if you've ever used a Virtual Analog synthesizer. Everything is on one panel, there's no complex routing, and everything has very clearly labeled knobs. The manual also explains the functions well, should you need to reference something. The plugin is a little old at this point so the interface is actually a little too small for use on modern high resolution displays and that's definitely a concern for those with impaired vision.

Eastwood Guitars Classic 12 - Walnut - very very good surprise for a ridiculous price
by jibzeone on 11-24-2014 10:33 PM Semi-acoustic 12 string guitar built in Korea. Mine 2014 date ... I would have loved to fall on an old model Cygnus, but it does not grow on trees (those actively seeking a 12-string will agree) Adjust'o'matic type of bridge Channel thin enough for a 12 string (reminds me of my slim type les paul classic 12-string version so to speak) 2 types of microphones Gretsch FilterTron and co. Besides the guitar frankly evokes a certain gentleman contry of Mr. Harrison. Finally two tone knobs and 1 for the volume (still in the Gretsch mind). Guitar very well finished (I have known much more expensive with finishes made by piglets and many disappointing in other respects with regard to the price, it therefore comes into play for the note) Read more on Audiofanzine

Hondo L-5 Fatboy - A beauty with perfect microphones
by Jonasm on 11-24-2014 09:51 PM - In what country was she made? This is my model of a Hondo II FatBoy L-5 1981 (and not all short Hondo): in other words, it belongs to the second generation of the production of the brand, and is therefore Japanese. The Hondo factories were born in Korea in 1969 and then left for Japan in 1974 and will remain there until 1983, during which the plants back to Korea, where they were born: Clearly, this Japanese period represents the age of Gold Hondo, with beautifully crafted guitars, equipped with micro DiMarizo. The Hondo II Fatboy L-5 is also cited as the reference model. Hehe! - What type of race? Bolt typical guitars of the 50s a real highway. Ability to adapt a Bigsby vibrato types. - Frets? Pickups? 20 frets, though filed down. No hitches. Original DiMarzio (a bridge humbucker, a humbucker neck). An incredible meeting, hyper-typed and clean way. Jewelry. - Settings? 2 volume knobs, two tone knobs. Each microphone. Micro switch to activate one pickup / pickup + neck pickup / neck pickup alone. Read more on Audiofanzine

Akai EIE Pro - A convenient interface
by CerotoneSystem on 11-24-2014 09:43 PM The features that attracted me the most are: The number of inputs / outputs (4 mono or 2 stereo) XLR or Jack with insert behind the card and the level mic / guitar Line facade. The meters are very practical and true (although I feel it captures the master of the signal without effects on my ableton which can make typing in the red even with a limited eg ... ). The practical side of Headphone Select for the headphone output, a mix knob for the signal in or out or in between. Phantom power, and switch level mic / guitar. Gains of knobs. It covers the 16/24 bit and 44 kHz / 96 kHz. I turn to the config following: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 / 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Mac OS X mid 2011 (running in dual core 2x4 for now). Read more on Audiofanzine

by Animaxion on 11-24-2014 01:30 PM Guitar made in Korea, with a body and mahogany set a very comfortable neck with 24 frets jumbo frets, two Seymour Duncan Alnico II (to the delight of Slash, Queens Of The Stone Age or Queensryche) with two potentiometers volume (one for each humbucker) and a tone. It adds a 3-position selector and it was a guitar that looks a lot like a very nice Les Paul, with its chrome hardware and golden table. Read more on Audiofanzine

AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S II to land October 2nd for $199
Summary: A week after Sprint launched its own version of the Galaxy S II, AT&T is finally getting ready to do the same.
With Sprint's version of Samsung's Galaxy S II already in stores, AT&T is also nearing the launch of its own version of the phone.
Samsung's latest Galaxy phone will hit AT&T on October 2nd for $199 with a two contact. That price point isn't too big of a surprise considering that it's in line with the price of both Sprint's version of the phone and Android smartphones in general. No complaints there.
In case you forgot, the Galaxy S II comes equipped with a 1.2GHz dual-core Exynos processor, a 4.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, and 16GB of storage. So it's a pretty good phone, all told.
Now the big question is, where's T-Mobile's version of the Galaxy S II? The company has been pretty sparse on the details so far, only going as far to announce a vague "fall" release date. Hopefully T-Mobile subscribers won't be left out for too much longer.
