New name, new design, new future for Umfolozi Resort as development takes shape
29 November 2010
The R115-million makeover of Tusk Umfolozi in the uMhlathuze Region in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal is progressing exceptionally well, and will be completed by December 2010 - and in preparation for this auspicious month the resort has been rebranded and renamed Umfolozi Hotel Casino Convention Resort – befitting its massive makeover.
The R115-million makeover of Tusk Umfolozi in the uMhlathuze Region in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal is progressing exceptionally well, and will be completed by December 2010 - and in preparation for this auspicious month the resort has been rebranded and renamed Umfolozi Hotel Casino Convention Resort - befitting its massive makeover.
The new Umfolozi Resort is a modern celebration of Zulu culture and offers the residents and visitors to the uMhlathuze Region a new and unique variety of entertainment, hospitality and conferencing facilities.
"The resort retains its African identity and culture with a new, contemporary design theme incorporated into all aspects of the resort from logo to room design." says Mark Jakins, Peermont's Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer
The redevelopment of the resort includes a great deal of exciting new venues and facilities - including a hotel, convention centre, restaurants and an outdoor domed events venue and corporate or family action park for teambuilding and parties . Recently opened are the newly refurbished Salon Privé with 30 slot machines and 3 gaming tables (Roulette, Texas Hold 'em Poker and Blackjack) and the Umfolozi Casino smoking section. Guests have direct access to the new Salon Privé which is adjacent to the gaming floor, with exclusive parking for Privé guests. The main casino has a total of 267 slot machines and 12 tables in play with upgraded cashier booths and casino interiors.
A new Peermont Metcourt hotel with 44 rooms and suites is set to open at the end of 2010, with its own F.L.A.G. Café breakfast restaurant, a well known offering found in the popular Peermont Metcourt hotels in South Africa and Botswana. The hotel will become a convenient stopover and meetings destination for guests doing business in this region. The Umfolozi Resort is situated approximately 160 kilometers north of Durban, situated in the hilly countryside of the uMhlathuze Region.
The new state-of-the-art conference centre with facilities for 200 people and a multipurpose events arena will be able to accommodate up to 600 delegates, with two breakaway rooms available. There is also the exciting new addition of an Action Park, a unique corporate event facility which includes a climbing wall plus two air-filled corporate action features called face-off and mini-swing, perfect for corporate functions and action packed team-building sessions - a welcome alternative to KwaZulu-Natal's existing attractions.
Herman Brits, General Manager for the Umfolozi Resort says, "The addition of a new Peermont Metcourt hotel, conference centre and multipurpose entertainment and events arena to our upgraded casino complex will provide guests with progressive and inexpensive accommodation, as well as much-needed meeting and entertainment facilities in the Richards Bay and Empangeni areas of northern KwaZulu-Natal."

Great quality but could be longer Love my new long sleeve crew shirts! Quite cozy! They are soft, comfortable, very well made and provide added warmth on cold days. However, I do wish they were a bit longer in length. February 10, 2014
Comfortable, light and warm I almost didn't buy this product due to a review that states they are too short. It is true that they are not very long in the body, but are perfect for average height (I'm 5' 6 1/2") because there is less to tuck in. After all, this top is meant to be an undergarment. Cotton is good quality and comfortable, besides adding an extra layer of warmth w/o bulk. January 9, 2014
The product is excellent These long-sleeve crew-neck tops are JUST WHAT i WAS LOOKING FOR. They are so well made and feel good on. I will definitely order again. January 4, 2014
Warm, Soft..but much too short!! I bought these several years ago and found them to be much too short. The description says 24" but they are more like 17". They do not tuck in as described. Yet, they are warm and soft and for the purpose of keeping my upper body warm, they serve well. However, they do need to be lenghtened to about 27" for bustier women. September 28, 2013
Much too short The quality is good but they were much too short. It may be a size problem. I will order size XXL next time. I am going to add to the bottom of the undershirts. It is strange that the sleeves are more than amply long - they could be shorter but the bodice ends up above my waist. January 7, 2013
This top is snuggy warm! This is the second time I've ordered these tops, since I so much enjoyed the first ones. They lasted several long years. They are wonderfully warm for their weight, which is quite light. My choice over a silk top for sheer warmth and comfort. December 31, 2012
These shirts are so soft and comfy. I love these shirts. The fabric is so soft. The only suggestion I would have is to order a size larger then needed. I washed mine in cold water and hung them out to dry. The shrinkage was amazing. I had to order a larger size and gave mine to my mom to ware. Hopefully the larger size will work better even if they shrink as much as these did. Other then that the shirts are warm and very soft. December 15, 2012

ESPN released a 47 minute audio tape recording that is the crux of Laurie Fine's lawsuit against the sports station. Laurie Fine is the wife of fired assistant SU men's basketball coach Bernie Fine. She says that ESPN and two of its employees defamed her by broadcasting excerpts of the audio tape. Her lawyers say those excerpts were of statements taken out of context and claims ESPN doctored the tape. Our Erin Clarke has more.
UNITED STATES – We did listen to the recording and had to listen to parts of it over and over again because it is not a clear and professionally made recording so some parts are very difficult to decipher what is being said. And that fact may work in Laurie Fine's favor. Her lawyers say she celebrates the release of the tape. But ESPN says the station thought releasing the tape was an appropriate part of their news coverage relating to the lawsuit that they said was without merit Wednesday.
In the full audio recording of an October 8th, 2002 conversation between Laurie Fine and Bobby Davis, the two talk about a relationship that Bobby had with Bernie Fine, but it is unclear what type of relationship.
Laurie Fine:"You did nothing wrong. You were a child and he took advantage of that."
The 47 minute conversation goes back and forth about money and sex. Laurie Fine mentions that her husband is upset with Bobby Davis about money he hasn't paid back to the Fines and that she and Bernie no longer have an intimate relationship.
Our legal expert says the recording is a crucial part to the suit and will have to be examined by experts to determine whether it was doctored, as Laurie Fine's lawyers claim or if ESPN's reporting was honest.
"One of the reasons that ESPN would release the tape is for the conclusion that gee it doesn't sound like anything is altered or doctored. Probably what the plaintiff's attorney would say is that well you can't tell that it's altered or doctored when you hear it. That's why it's so devastating," said legal expert Paul DerOhanessian.
Devastating because it would prove that statements like this....
Laurie Fine: "He used to think of ways to get me out of the room. Like I'm not an idiot.
Bobby Davis: "Exactly, like when I was in eighth grade there in the basement, he used to come down every night and I'm like what the heck, what is Laurie think?"
Laurie Fine: " What did I think? He was doing the same thing with (bleep) and then he got disinterested in (bleep) and then he comes down to where you were every night and he'd say to me go check David or did you put David to bed, go lay with him, go upstairs...anything to get me out of the room and I knew."
Might mean that Laurie Fine was privy to what her husband was allegedly doing?
Bobby Davis:"First off he would grab me and start touching me."
Laurie Fine: "When he gave you the money, what did he want for that? He wanted you to grab him or he wanted to do you?
Bobby Davis: "He wanted to do me."
As for whether Laurie herself had an inappropriate relationship with Bobby,that too is unclear in the recording.
Laurie Fine: "When I was with you, it wasn't because of the money. It was because I wanted to."
Laurie Fine's lawyer says upon expert examination of the recording, the defamation suit will be established even further.
The recording is very subjective and Laurie Fine's lawyer told us three things that he believes it proves. That Laurie Fine repeatedly confirms that Bobby Davis was never sexually molested by Bernie Fine. That Laurie Fine repeatedly cautions Bobby Davis from contact with Bernie Fine in light of Bobby's accusations. And that Laurie Fine repeatedly looks out for Bobby Davis as a mother would.
ESPN stands by their reporting.
ESPN offered a brief response following Fine's announcement on Wednesday. David Scott, Director of News Content, said, "The suit is without merit and we stand by our reporting."
The taped conversation on ESPN's website is titled "Complete Bobby Davis and Laurie Fine Phone Conversation." It states that the conversation was recorded by Davis on October 8, 2002. There is also a statement that reads: "Noise reduction software was used to improve the quality of the audio and the names of some individuals have been removed to protect their privacy. This audio contains language that some listeners might find objectionable."

VIRTUAL VISITS: Christmas at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every year, in continuation of a longstanding holiday tradition, the Met installs in the Medieval Hall its Christmas display, which includes a towering spruce illuminated with glowing lights and decorated with fifty silk-robed angels, and a vivid Nativity scene embellished with life-like figurines. The origins of such elaborate and theatrical crèche displays began in Naples in the 18th century. In the Museum, the tradition of displaying a Christmas tree and crèche began in December 1957 with the exhibition of the 18th century Neapolitan collection of Loretta Hines Howard. By 1964, Mrs. Howard had given to the Museum more than 200 figures. Join Ines Powell for a seated tour of these splendid exhibits. 11 a.m.

Hong Kong Exchanges,
Romnesh Lamba,
Andrea Hotter
NEW YORK Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. (HKEx) paid the market rate for the London Metal Exchange and expects to more than recoup it in the next few years, Romnesh Lamba, head of market development, told AMM.
HKEx upped its bid for the U.K.-based metals trading exchange to £1.388 billion ($2.09 billion) and clinched the backing of the LME board before going on to secure overwhelming shareholder support in a July vote.
It instantly drew criticism for paying way more than the average price-to-earnings ratio for the exchange, with the LMEwhich has never operated on a fully commercial model, keeping its fees low relative to other exchangesgenerating a 2011 net profit of just £7.7 million.
But Lamba said that criticism is unfair, adding that the sale process was a "full and fair auction" of the 135-year-old exchange.
"We paid a fair market price between a willing buyer and a willing seller. There were actually three willing buyersthe other two were the worlds biggest commodity exchanges and pretty much whatever we were willing to pay, they were willing to pay," he said, referring to Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and CME Group.
HKEx is optimistic the deal will generate substantial incremental revenue within a few years, Lamba said, whether via Chinese volume growth, its clearing business or new products.
"The LME will give us a decent financial return, maybe not a through-the-roof one, but it also gives us the ability of platform to do other things; commodities, being relevant to China, and so on. You could call that a strategic premium, but we didnt think about it that way," Lamba said. "Its not going to be a 12-month return, probably not two years either, but what we tell investors is that three to five years out we expect it to be generating a 10- to 15-percent annual return on investment."
HKEx is a highly valued stock and its investors are seemingly willing to take a longer-term view, according to Lamba. "So it gives us some breathing room in the next year or two to be able to show the returns. ... We went in with our eyes open, were not expecting miracles; hopefully we can get there," he added.
Dividend constraint
One of HKExs main financial constraints is its 90-percent dividend payment policy, which has been in place for the past several years and is very attractive to retail investors.
Depending on its share price, HKEx has a 2- to 4-percent dividend yield.
"Our constraint is that the cash flow we generate is very high, but we give 90 percent of it back to shareholders, so we have to live off the 10 percent," Lamba said.
This has been tricky in the past couple of years.
"Last year and this year probably weve been spending more than we keep," Lamba said. "Roughly speaking, we earn HK$4 billion to HK$5 billion ($516 million to $645 million), which means we only keep HK$400 million to HK$500 million, which isnt a lot, and our capex this year is over HK$1 billion."
The exchanges biggest expenditures have been mostly in infrastructure rather than technology, such as a new Hong Kong-based data center and an under-construction co-location and hosting services business, which together cost about HK$1.8 billion.
With that expenditure out of the way, the exchanges ongoing capex is right around HK$400 million to HK$600 million ($51.6 million to $77.4 million), Lamba said.
HKEx maintains around HK$9 billion ($1.2 billion) in cash, primarily for risk-management liquidity for its clearing houses, and also to provide it with a "big cushion" if it overspends on capex one year.
"Before the LME deal we had no debt, and on a standalone basis financing is no issue," Lamba said.
The funding of the LME acquisition is structured so that HKEx has no meaningful principal repayment, including its convertible bond, in the first five years.
"With the LME, assuming the LCH.Clearnet deal goes through, the stake should be enough to fund LME Clear and then some; if it doesnt go through, well fund it," he added.
The LME is moving to bring clearing in house via a project known as LME Clear (amm.com, May 17).
It currently clears through LCH.Clearnet, which is being sold to the London Stock Exchange.
The exchange expects to earn around £50 million ($80.3 million) from its interest in the London-based clearing house.
On an ongoing basis, the LME should be able to fund its own capex, Lamba said, with no need to change the exchanges dividend policy.
"If we have to (change the policy), we have to; its not a written policy, but right now we see no reason to change it," he added.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Are you stocking more inventory today than 18 months ago?
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

You would think that these were cheap-o plastic rings, and while they are as they appear, there was some care in how the stickers were placed onto the rings. One often thinks that the stickers won't be placed with care, and this wasn't the case with the many sets that we purchased.

Is God a Civil Libertarian? How the American Surveillance State Devoured General Petraeus
The Petraeus scandal is receiving intense media scrutiny obviously due to its salacious aspects, leaving one, as always, to fantasize about what a stellar press corps we would have if they devoted a tiny fraction of this energy to dissecting non-sex political scandals ( this unintentionally amusing New York Times headline from this morning - "Concern Grows Over Top Military Officers' Ethics" - illustrates that point: with all the crimes committed by the US military over the last decade and long before, it's only adultery that causes "concern" over their "ethics"). Nonetheless, several of the emerging revelations are genuinely valuable, particularly those involving the conduct of the FBI and the reach of the US surveillance state.
As is now widely reported, the FBI investigation began when Jill Kelley - a Tampa socialite friendly with Petraeus (and apparently very friendlywith Gen. John Allen, the four-star U.S. commander of the war in Afghanistan) - received a half-dozen or so anonymous emails that she found vaguely threatening. She then informed a friend of hers who was an FBI agent, and a major FBI investigation was then launched that set out to determine the identity of the anonymous emailer.
That is the first disturbing fact: it appears that the FBI not only devoted substantial resources, but also engaged in highly invasive surveillance, for no reason other than to do a personal favor for a friend of one of its agents, to find out who was very mildly harassing her by email. The emails Kelley received were, as the Daily Beast reports, quite banal and clearly not an event that warranted an FBI investigation:
"The emails that Jill Kelley showed an FBI friend near the start of last summer were not jealous lover warnings like 'stay away from my man', a knowledgeable source tells The Daily Beast. . . .
"'More like, 'Who do you think you are? . . .You parade around the base . . . You need to take it down a notch,'" according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.
"The source reports that the emails did make one reference to Gen. David Petraeus, but it was oblique and offered no manifest suggestion of a personal relationship or even that he was central to the sender's spite. . . .
"When the FBI friend showed the emails to the cyber squad in the Tampa field office, her fellow agents noted the absence of any overt threats.
"No, 'I'll kill you' or 'I'll burn your house down,'' the source says. 'It doesn't seem really that bad.'
"The squad was not even sure the case was worth pursuing, the source says.
"'What does this mean? There's no threat there. This is against the law?' the agents asked themselves by the source's account.
"At most the messages were harassing. The cyber squad had to consult the statute books in its effort to determine whether there was adequate legal cause to open a case.
"'It was a close call,' the source says.
"What tipped it may have been Kelley's friendship with the agent."
That this deeply personal motive was what spawned the FBI investigation is bolstered by the fact that the initial investigating agent"was barred from taking part in the case over the summer due to superiors' concerns that he was personally involved in the case" - indeed, "supervisors soon became concerned that the initial agent might have grown obsessed with the matter" - and was found to have "allegedly sent shirtless photos" to Kelley, and "is now under investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility, the internal-affairs arm of the FBI".

Sorry if its not well explained, but Im sure you can read it in proper english in one of Cider guides.
Personally I think imp revenge has it's place but I'm with some of the posters here and will say that I don't like it's unpredictability, I use it as an agro increasing tool not as a decrease damage done to me tool. I comes down to where you would rather have points and what you are currently doing.
Also, unless I'm wrong taunt only gives you "temporary" threat but once it's worn off you still need to have made up the difference in the meantime, sure if it's easy trash its most likely dead but nor necessarily
**Give me a hug and I'll defend you with my life**

Sorry if its not well explained, but Im sure you can read it in proper english in one of Cider guides.
In summary, TBC raiding is easy. 9/10 encounters can be summarized with 1 phrase. Stay out of the fucking fire.
Panda Cub with a Gnome pet!
Improved Revenge is a waste of talent points for 25mans, spend the talent points in Improved Thundercalp or 2/5 Improved Demo Shout or Improved Heroic Strike. I find that it's a waste of a point because:
1) It's a proc, procs are not reliable to proc when you may really need it.
2) About 75% of mobs in 25mans are Immune to stun, so even if you do proc it they are Immune anyways.
3) 99% of Bosses are Immune to stun and the extra 30 threat on proc is negligable.
Now asside from the facts and looking more at theory crafting and the use of improved revenge in 'raids'. If your currently tanking a mob that's stunable there is most likely 3 rogues also attacking that mob as whell which are most likely going to stun it anyways. Most* mobs that Are stunable Are squishy and die really quickly. Yes I've seen the point argued of the guys that throw bombs in TK, thing is that there is only One pull with more than One and they die so quickly the stun would just be an overall waste. You have concusion blow which is on a 45 second cooldown and while tanking that's usualy enough time to use between pulls or two times durring pulls when you Want to stun a mob.
The only place where I see the talent being 'usefull' in raids is Hyjal if your a designated offtank that is Not going to be tanking the tougher unstunable mobs or the bosses. This is because with thoes 3 talent points I can spend them elsewhere to improve my surviveability or by increseing my overall threat potential.
Improved Revenge has its places and that's PvP, Heroics, and 5 mans. It's not ment for 25 man raid instances due to stun mechanics. Also due to the fact that if your not getting hit your not generating as much rage as if your not getting hit so that equates into less threat output on stuned mobs. Where if you lose agro in a 25 man that's most likely also going to equal in an unnessary party death because you couldn't hold proper aggro.
I think he's just saying that if there was another weapon enchant that did the same expected dodge/crit/haste buff as mongoose but was applied at all times rather than randomly, he'd take that in a heartbeat.So, you're saying that Mongoose is garbage?
At least, that's how I read it (and would tend to agree).
Just through my two cents into the pile as well...
Imp Rev to me is a great grinding and Prot PVP talent - But for raiding I would rather not have it.
Like many have said before, its creates alot of great stories, but when you really break it down its either not being used (stun immune) or it can caused you to be rage starved, which is something I dislike greatly.
Let the rogues stun, and save your conc blow for when you really need that on demand stun.
Oh and also - Warstomp FTW
I was going to post with my opinion, but TheZ beat me to it. I completely agree with what he said. You can Conc blow on demand instead of relying on a proc. The goal of a raid tank is to be able to take as much damage as possible and still live, hence why some of the best tanks in the world champion the AC/Stam/SBV theorycraft.
my view is it is rage negative as nice as a stun is i would not get any rage without being hit or atleast that is my understanding.
Improved revenge is nice for farming, heroics and some raid trash.
But farming, heroics and raid trash aren't difficult.
If you are MTing raid bosses you should be specing for maximum efficiency for that role, and when mting raid bosses improved revenge does nothing to help you.
Lets say I get lucky with my revenge stun proc, I can yell out on vent "hey guys, that stun is mine!" But in reality all I did was overwrite one of their 6 second stuns with a shorter one.. and yes, he breaks out at the end of my short one.
I don't like improved revenge. I suppose if you're short on rogues or something and you really need the stuns it would come in handy, but I can't see wasting 3 talent points for this rare scenario. Those mobs are the only ones that are stunnable where a stun is really that helpful. You're using 3 points for those mobs and I think theres a total of 5 of them in the instance.
I only end game tank, we don't even touch Karazhan anymore.. everything is immune. Let's face is, the ability had its uses... battleguard sartura... Cthun... but those times are long gone.
Melissa Theuriau is not a marmot.
I think Imp Revenge is bad, because:
1) Bascially nothing that is stunnable can kill me, so I dont need to reduce the damage from those things.
2) It is not reliable as an interrupt. I want to use concussion blow or shield bash to interrupt.
3) It can randomly stun mobs I am fighting while I am trying to move them, which is annoying.
4) It results in less rage generation, and thus can lead to losing aggro. Worst of all, the mobs who are usually stunnable are small mobs in multimob group pulls. These are the pulls where I am usually the most rage starved, and most suseptible to losing aggro on secondary mobs.
So basically, it doesnt do anything good, I dont care about preventing damage from the types of mobs it works on, and it can result in aggro loss.
Imp Bloodrage, Imp Sunder, TM, and Imp Shield Wall are probably all better than it.
I cant see myself tanking with less than 12 in arms (imp tclap/imp heroic/anger management), so I dont have a lot of prot talents to throw away on stuff like imp revenge.
imo, Imp Revenge is a pvp talent. Its not a pve talent and shouldnt be taken for tanking.
I used to have Improved Revenge. I used to freak out when the big "Immune" scrolled up and try to figure out what I was doing that he was immune to.

College Establishes Minor in Sustainability
The world is looking to American agriculture to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 and American agriculture is counting on college students to bear a significant burden of the brainpower needed to meet that challenge.
(RIGHT) Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture, works with students in his horticulture class. The new minor, Sustainability, features a core curriculum of several agriculture courses, including horticulture, along with a number of electives that match students' career interests.
Wilmington College has established a new minor, Sustainability, that will officially debut in fall 2013. It features an interdisciplinary curriculum with 12 hours in agriculture courses and a dozen hours of electives, from across the academic spectrum, designed to dovetail with a student's career interests.
"It takes students on different paths," said Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture. "This will be a minor that complements a lot of different majors.
"We have a great agriculture program at Wilmington College," he added. "Our graduates understand horticulture, soil science and crop and animal science, but, with sustainability, it's not all about agriculture — there's a political and societal side to the subject."

Current Time
New York City nightlife
New York nightlife is currently in the midst of a 1920s flashback, with covert, speakeasy-style bars popping up left and right—think dark-lit basement spaces complete with unmarked entrances, absinthe-laced cocktails, and reservations requirements. Some of these spots are legitimately difficult to find and get into; others, like PDT and the Box, are not prohibitively expensive or exclusive and view the mystique as part of the fun.
In general, most of the nightlife worth going out for in New York City takes place below 34th Street, and the super-chic crowd that once descended upon the Meatpacking District (MPD) and Chelsea has left their bottle service behind for the less-mega clubs of the East Village, West Village, and the Lower East Side. That's not to say that the MPD and Chelsea have become ghost towns—quite the opposite. Weeknights are still jumping, but weekends are so overrun with out-of-towners and the much-derided bridge-and-tunnel crowd that crossing Ninth Avenue at Gansevoort Street on a Saturday night can feel like walking through Grand Central Station. On the opposite side of town, Avenues A, B, and C and the side streets surrounding them—plus the Lower East Side's Clinton, Ludlow, and Rivington streets—are drenched in bars, both divey and upscale, and make for prime hopping territory. The stretch of the Bowery from Soho up through Cooper Square has recently undergone a major transformation, with restaurants, bars, and clubs dominating the strip historically known for its halfway houses and dirty rocker bars. Similarly, the once-sleepy Chinatown has awakened as a haven for under-the-radar bars and nightspots.
Most weekend nights, expect things to get jumping around 11 or 11:30 and keep going until last call at 4 am: New York isn't called the city that never sleeps for nothing. In fact, most bars are open seven days a week, with Thursdays, Sundays, and recently Tuesdays becoming serious party nights. Some say that Friday nights are when the real New Yorkers stay in, and catch up on their TV shows and order takeout, but that's only partially true. No matter their age and occupation, everyone in New York likes to party; so wherever you are, expect to mingle with a mix of just-legal New York University kids, Wall Street banker types (there are still plenty of them), downtown artists, and uptown socialites. Since New York nightlife is constantly in a state of flux—clubs change their names and owners on a weekly basis—get a copy of Time Out New York, which has an encyclopedic, up-to-date list of all New York's after-dark happenings.

The art of modern design is featured in this spectacular episode. Viewers learn how architect Steven Ehrlich transformed a 1950s suburban home into a study of the modern art form, and visit a luxurious New York penthouse that brings modernism to a whole new level.
Modernism means many things to many people, but while one can debate exactly what the definition is, there is no denying that the designers and architects categorized as "modern" have made significant contributions to our aesthetic sense.
By definition, what is modern is constantly changing, but today's standard bearers have challenged long-standing assumptions and developed new approaches that are given shape in the homes featured in MODERN LIVING. First, we'll see the stunning transformation of a 1950's suburban family home as engineered by Steven Ehrlich, one of southern California's premiere architects. Next, a luxurious New York penthouse takes modernism to a whole new level with an integrated approach that encompasses every element of the design. Finally, we'll tour the stunning home of architect Michael Graves, whose forward-looking designs are featured in everything from fine catalogs to mass merchant stores.
Inspired by these impressive spaces, short features on modern furniture, affordable accessories and flower arranging show how you can add a modern accent to your own home.

The engines, as you would expect, are characterised by six horizontally opposed cylinders. The 3.4-litre engine in the 911 Carrera models produces 257 kW (350 hp); in the 911 Carrera S models, the 3.8-litre engine develops 294 kW (400 hp). All variants are equipped with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus for increased power and comparatively low fuel consumption.
Power is transmitted to the wheels by the 7-speed manual gearbox with the highest gear designed specifically with fuel economy in mind or, optionally, by efficiencyenhanced Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which offers gear changes with no interruption in the flow of power.
On the 911 Carrera all-wheel-drive models, the enhanced Porsche Traction Management (PTM) distributes the power to the wheels according to weather and road conditions. Handling is even more poised, particularly when the car is being driven to its limits. As a result, you are safer not just in the wet and snow, but also when adopting a sporty driving style.
The chassis is also packed with forwardlooking technology. Fitted as standard in the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) increases dynamic performance. Available as an option for the S models, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) improves dynamic performance further still. Dynamic engine mounts, available as an option for all models, provide perceptibly more precise handling – and not just when cornering.
The 911 has a lightweight composite construction in aluminium and steel. Used extensively and in just the right places, lightweight aluminium improves fuel economy and dynamic performance and helps to achieve an excellent weight to power ratio of 4.7 kg/kW (3.5 kg/hp) for the 911 Carrera S, for example.

Sandwiched In
SANDWICHED IN: George Bellows. An important member of the group of early 20th century American artists known as the Ashcan School, George Bellows is best known today for his dynamic paintings of boxing matches. In a career cut short by his early death at age 42, Bellows produced a prodigious amount of work on a great variety of other subjects including the tenements and working poor of his adopted city New York, excavations for the building of Penn Station, polo and tennis matches at wealthy resorts, seascapes of Maine, and moving images of the horrors of World War I. This illustrated talk with Met docent Vivian Gordon will offer a preview of the major retrospective of Bellows' career that is currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 12:10 p.m.

My name is Kara. I am 22 and I have 2 brothers, ages 19 and 25. Our mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. We were in high school. My college plans were cut short. My dreams were put on hold. My family came together, and did what we needed to do. Being children caretakers of our mother forced us to grow up very quickly. Taking all the responsibilities of the household into our own hands. We watched our mother's career, friends, and LIFE get taken from her.
Dad's version goes like this: "Well, Mark twisted my arm to go with some friends to this dinner theater in Cleveland. Guess they needed another guy to make the numbers work. Your mom was one of the gals. We kind of liked each other and we started dating. Pretty soon we got married."
Mom's version is so much lovelier. That morning her friend Irene called to say a few friends were going to a show at Cleveland's Karamu House, the first integrated theatre in the country. Irene asked if Mom would come along. Mom said, "Well, sure."
My father, Edwin L. was born in Puerto Rico in 1947. He grew up in New York...in Spanish Harlem. He was drafted to Vietnam where he served one tour and got two field promotions to leave the United States Marine Corps as a Corporal. In 1974, he married my mother and for the next 30 years, lived happily raising three kids as a sheet metal worker before becoming a correctional officer having graduated the Richard A. McGee Correctional Training Center in the first graduating class of 1995.

Monday, April 22, 2013 - True To SizeWhile this is a quality product, the baskit just isn't large enough for this underwear to be comfortable for me. Is you're an average guy--no problem, but those of us packing some larger than average twins...we need a bigger baskit.

Video: BMW S 1000 RR valvetrain at full bore shocks and awes
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Feb 19th, 2010 at 12:59PM
It takes a ton of engineering prowess to create any functional internal combustion engine, but especially one that's capable of spinning itself up to 14,200 RPM... without blowing itself to bits in the process, of course. Such high rotational speeds are rarely seen on the street – except in high-performance motorcycle engines such as the BMW S 1000 RR's new 1000cc four cylinder mill. BMW's most powerful production motorcycle engine cranks out 193 horsepower at 13,000 RPM and 82.5 pound-feet of torque at 9,750 RPM. Reliably. Perhaps the most impressive piece of engineering in such a... Read More

Casting Crowns' "Come to the Well" Certified RIAA Gold
Music Videos & Features
(Nashville, Tenn.) October 23, 2012 -- In August 2012, contemporary Christian music touring and sales leader Casting Crowns received a rare double Platinum certification by the RIAA for its 2005, self-titled debut. Earlier this month, the band received its sixth career Gold certification for its October 2011 project Come to the Well which has sold more than 500,000 units to date.
This certification highlights the band's audience-connection; a connection reflected in its 84-city "Come to the Well" Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 tour numbers which include 40 arena sellouts and total attendance numbers exceeding 370,000.
The band's impact was further underscored in May when it received four 2012 Billboard Music Award nominations, of which the band garnered two. Casting Crowns was recognized as Top Christian Artist while its Come to the Well project received the trophy for Top Christian Album.
Casting Crowns has impacted millions with powerful songs including, "East To West," "Who Am I" and "If We Are The Body." In times of difficulty and in moments of praise, these songs have provided the words so many hearts long to communicate. Thus the impetus for the latest offering from this industry leader: Casting Crowns - The Acoustic Sessions: Volume 1. Releasing January 22 and including two brand new songs, The Acoustic Sessions: Volume 1 is a must have for any Casting Crowns fan. The band will follow the project launch with an 18-city acoustic tour in the spring.
About Casting Crowns
Prolific CCM music group Casting Crowns boasts a tally of one RIAA 2x multi-Platinum record, three RIAA Platinum albums, two RIAA Platinum DVDs, six RIAA Gold albums, two Gold DVDs and three Gold digital singles. The band currently holds the position as Billboard's top-selling act in Christian music since 2007.
The group has also been honored with two American Music Awards, out of six total nominations, three GRAMMY Awards, 14 GMA Dove Awards, two 2012 Billboard Music Awards and four total Billboard Music Award nominations.
Casting Crowns' seven band members all remain active in student ministry in the Atlanta area and tour according to their local church commitments. Serving his 18th year in youth ministry, lead singer/songwriter Mark Hall maintains his role as the student pastor at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in Atlanta.
As a testament to the band's impact, Casting Crowns performed for a second time in North Korea in April 2009, in partnership with Global Resource Services; the band continues to forge invaluable relationships with the people in the D.P.R.K. (Democratic People's Republic of Korea).
Casting Crowns concluded its 84-city "Come to the Well" tour on May 5 in Houston to an audience of more than 17,000. Across the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 legs, the tour saw 40 arena sellouts, exceeded 370,000 in total attendance and garnered 65,500 child sponsorships through the group's partnership with Christian humanitarian organization, World Vision.

A vacation to a remote Pacific Northwest island runs aground when you, as Nancy Drew, are confronted by a string of nasty "accidents."
Written by
Ryan Casey
September 9, 2012
Developed by
Her Interactive
Published by
Genre: Mystery AdventureRelease Date: October 2003Platform: PCNote: Originally published 14 October 2003Just when you thought you'd seen everything, HER Interactive finally pulled just the right strings to create the latest – and greatest – Nancy Drew mystery so far.In this new adventure, Nancy has arrived at Deception Island for a relaxing whale watching vacation with marine biologist Katie Firestone. (You know, of course, that in Nancy Drew's Detective Dictionary, there is no listing for 'vacation.') However, upon arrival, things literally start falling apart from the very beginning – Katie's boat is vandalized! Nancy's seen worse crimes than this, but Katie refuses to call in the sheriff. So, off goes everybody's favorite sleuth on another fun-tastic mystery!Overall, HER once again grasps the overall feature of the game with a great music score and organic puzzles. I never thought a Nancy Drew game was capable of handling so many brain teasers! In the past, some games have just been made up of many simple puzzles so that the game feels longer after you finish it. (In fact, the very first puzzle of the very first game was a slider. Yikes!) This game, however, incorporates some seemingly easy puzzles that turn out to be hard (like re-arranging books on a shelf), and some simple puzzles that are there just as an extra time-consumer (like making a sandwich). The best part, though, is the ever-friendly Second Chance button, which allows you to let yourself be killed by a falling rock or make Katie a fresh baking soda and Tabasco sandwich. This relieves the stress from the common mistakes that most players make, making the games more enjoyable.Those of you who (like the rest of us) are joyfully waiting to bike-ride and kayak, beware. (You just knew it was too good to be true, right?) I was very disappointed with the biking feature, although again, compensation is the key here, as the kayaking is rather professional, and seems much more realistic than the subway from Secret of the Scarlet Hand. But, as always, safety first!On the other hand, however, I'm happy to report that, as usual, I didn't run into a single bug – that is, until I had to update my video card driver when my mouse decided to do some sleuthing of its own. Otherwise, the game ran smoothly and flawlessly, and there was no lost sleep over this game.I'LL HAVE THE 'SPOOKY MYSTERY' SPECIAL WITH A SIDE ORDER OF DANGER ON RYE, PLEASEThe plot concerns an orphaned orca whale that's been discovered on the channel. The town is besieged with debates and complaints about what should be done with the troublesome whale. This game carries out the general plot we've seen the last few years: an animal, a heated argument, and weird people. The plot here deserves an A.PAGING DETECTIVE DREW . . .The voice acting for this game is moderate, and didn't quite outdo some of its predecessors, but I enjoyed the voices of the local fisherman and café owner. I think more of a variety could have been integrated into the game, but this is compensated for in some of the game's loyal predecessors. Overall, the voice acting deserves a B+. (Honestly, am I the only one who's tired of 'It's Locked'?!)ALL 'CLAM'-MED UPI was surprised to see that in this game, the lack of humor is compensated for in puzzles. It's kind of like baking chocolate chip cookies – you don't have very much sugar, so you cut that in half and add double the flour. (Don't try that at home, kids!) However, I was very pleased with the challenges and I persevered! The return of the friendly ol' slider puzzle and Memory game are a warm welcome, and the more generic puzzles, like wood identification, fixing a kitchen sink, and searching for clams on a deserted beach, are a great new addition to the Nancy Drew games. There are also some activities that players could do if they needed a break, like make a sandwich or build a sandcastle. The puzzles deserve an A+.KOKO KRINGLE AND . . . CLAM CHOWDER?!Compared to previous games, I think this is a one-way competition. Deception Island is truly the game that Nancy Drew and mystery fans have been waiting for. The puzzles are better, the concept is better, and the historical piece of the puzzle is intriguing, as well. Alas, with every game there must be faults. Here comes the Nitpicker's Corner:

William Armstrong
Canadian (born in Ireland), 1822–1914
Portage at Deux Rivières, 1893
watercolour on paper
23 x 35.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Foundation
William Armstrong arrived in Toronto from Dublin in 1851. Throughout that decade he worked for several railways before establishing a civil engineering firm. During the same period he worked as a drawing instructor. Although records are unclear between the 1860s and early 1870s, Armstrong is known to have travelled to the north shore of Lake Superior on several occasions. The sketches he produced offer somewhat embellished views of areas known to be abundant with primary resources like timber and minerals, which were increasingly valuable commodities for colonial industries based in urban centres like Toronto. This painting captures a harrowing portage route in what is today Quetico Provincial Park. Portage at Deux Rivières is dated 1893 and thus likely references an earlier sketch as Armstrong's explorations ended in the early 1870s.

OpenCube Project Launches – Promises Opportunities for Open Statistical Data
EU Initiative OpenCube partner consortium to develop software tools for publishing and reusing Linked Open Statistical Data
Thermi, Thessaloniki, Greece, January 14th, 2014 – A consortium of partners headed by the Centre for Research and Technology – Hellas (CERTH), recently launched the OpenCube project, an EU Initiative for Publishing and Enriching Linked Open Statistical Data for the Development of Data Analytics and Enhanced Visualization Services. The project intends to make Linked Open Statistical Data (LOSD) more accessible to publishers and users and to facilitate mining these data so as to enable the extraction of interesting and previously hidden insights. As part of the project, these innovative new technologies will be tested at four pilot sites: three government agencies from across Europe and a large financial institution.
Linked Statistical Data
Governments, organizations and companies are increasingly releasing their data for others to reuse. A major part of open data concerns statistics, such as population figures and economic and social indicators. Analysis of statistical open data can create value for citizens and businesses in areas ranging from business intelligence to epidemiological studies and evidence-based policy-making.
Recently, Linked Data emerged as a promising paradigm to enable use of the web as a platform for data integration. Linked Statistical Data has been proposed as the most suitable way to publish open data on the web. However, publishing and mining LOSD faces particular challenges as it requires appropriate tools and methods.

Govern the flow of data inside the enterprise and beyond the enterprise edge
Over the next few years, the majority of all new integration will either cross or be completely outside the traditional enterprise edge - the firewall - as companies integrate more with partners, people, cloud services and mobile devices.
This shift - already in full swing - poses a new integration challenge because each new project requires old and new technologies to work together. But traditional middleware technologies like ESBs and BPM suites, while they work well within the firewall, are not good at integrating across or beyond the enterprise edge. They weren't designed to handle the newer standards or tougher security requirements. And the more technologies you add, the harder it is to secure, monitor and control (or "govern") the end-to-end flow of data that supports your business processes.
Axway 5 Suite solves the new integration challenge with a unique approach to governing the flow of data by employing the concept of a Data Flow Broker, a modern architectural approach that centers on the convergence of Axway's market-leading integration, managed file transfer, B2B and API management technologies to govern data flows across the enterprise and beyond the enterprise edge.
Reduce risk, improve customer and partner satisfaction, and create new revenue streams
Axway 5 Suite helps companies and government organizations break down barriers between departments, application silos and user ecosystems, and gives them the ability to cost effectively govern the flow of data:
By helping you methodically move toward a cost-effective web-oriented architecture for governing end-to-end flows of data, Axway 5 Suite can help you accelerate new business initiatives and improve reliability, security and compliance - all at a lower overall cost of ownership than the traditional integration approaches of the past.
Across new and existing applications, systems and technologies, Axway 5 enables:

Dalton AcademyComments232
this wiki
|Dalton Academy
Private School
Westerville, Ohio
Dalton Academy is a private, all-boys school/boarding school located in Westerville, Ohio. The school first appears in the season two episode Never Been Kissed. The school strictly enforces a zero-tolerance bullying policy, protecting their students from any kind of bullying. Kurt sees Dalton as an open door because he will be accepted as to being gay and he will be protected from all people who discriminate. As seen in the show, Dalton's students are all required to wear uniforms.
Season Two
When Will Schuester alerts New Directions to the their competition for Sectionals, he states that amongst their competition is the Dalton Academy Warblers. Later, after being inadvertently alienated by the boys in the glee group and constantly bullied by Dave Karofsky, Kurt goes to Dalton to spy on the Warblers. There he meets Blaine, an openly gay student who befriends Kurt and who plays a mentoring role. He finds Dalton to be an ideal school, due in large part to their zero-tolerance bullying policy and the fact that their glee group is considered popular and cool "Like rockstars."
In Furt, when Karofsky's bullying becomes much more difficult to deal with (with Karofsky threatening to kill Kurt if he ever admitted to being kissed by Karofsky), Kurt's parents Burt Hummel and Carole Hudson decide to use their honeymoon money to pay for Dalton's tuition so that Kurt can transfer to a safer school.
Season Three
In The First Time, Blaine goes to Dalton to invite the Warblers to attend the opening night performance of West Side Story at McKinley. The Warblers are seen serenading a French teacher with Uptown Girl.
In Michael, Rachel, Santana, Kurt and Artie were supposed to visit the school, though the scene was cut.
Season Four
Since the "Dalton Academy Warblers" have broken into McKinley in order to steal the Nationals-trophy from the New Directions, Blaine visits his former school in the hope of being able to rescueing it. When he arrives, he is greeted by Sebastian Smythe who brings him to see Hunter Clarington, the new captain of the Warblers.
Season Five
Music starts to play and Kurt walks toward the entrance of Dalton Academy, where Blaine meets him and sings All You Need Is Love. The rest of New Directions are also present with Rachel, Santana, and Mercedes and the Warblers, Haverbrook School for the Deaf, and Vocal Adrenaline backing Blaine up. The performance ends at the stairs where Kurt and Blaine met for the first time. Blaine proposes to Kurt with a heartfelt speech, Kurt accepts and they share a kiss, admire the ring and hug with everyone applauding them.
Dalton Academy WarblersThe Academy's Glee club The Dalton Academy Warblers, who were voiced by the Tufts Beelzebubs for the first two seasons, tied for first place with William McKinley High School's New Directions at the 2010 Western Ohio Sectionals Championship and moved on to the regional competition. However, they lost at the Regionals tournament in 2011, to New Directions.
In Season Three, they have a new leader, Sebastian Smythe, Blaine transferring to McKinley to be with Kurt at the beginning of the Season. Some of the Warblers have graduated, mainly the council leaders. Sebastian, as the leader, has an eye out for Blaine and likes Blaine. The Warblers won the 2011 Sectionals which was not shown but when they went against New Directions at the 2012 Regionals, unfortunately they lost. Sebastian is a very vile and male counterpart of Santana. He constantly tries to steal Blaine from Kurt and when New Directions and the Dalton Academy Warblers compete to see who'll do Michael Jackson for their Regionals setlist, Sebastian puts rock salt in a slushee and injures Blaine, causing him to have surgery. He later admits it to Santana and slushees her after a sing-off, this time with no rocksalt. Later the New Directions show the Warblers what MJ is about, and the Warblers, other than Sebastian, agree with New Directions words. Sebastian then says it would be awfully scary if they had any evidence, but Santana shows the recording tape but Kurt hands it back to Sebastian and everyone is disappointed by his ways.
Before Regionals, Sebastian threatens Rachel and blackmails her saying he'll upload a photoshopped picture of Finn online unless she drops out of Regionals, causing a feud. Later Sebastian stops and it is revealed the Warblers are running a foundation for people to donate money to help with the recent news of Karofsky's near death suicide attempt.
Boarding School or Not?
There are lot of continuity mistakes regarding whether Dalton is a boarding school or not:
- Dalton Academy was implied not to be exclusively a boarding school in The Sue Sylvester Shuffle when Kurt mentioned that he brings Finn a warm glass of milk every night. He could have meant he brings the milk to Finn every night when he is home, which is most likely every weekend.
- In Blame It on the Alcohol, Blaine was in Kurt's bed cause he was too drunk to drive so it was either he stayed in their house for the weekend or he lives in their house.
- In Silly Love Songs, when Kurt was drawing in his notebook, he told Blaine he was "plotting weekend outfits," implying that he only gets to dress without his uniform on the weekends.
- Technically, Dalton Academy could still be a boarding school, one that accepts day and boarding students. The tuition was said to be very steep, so Burt and Carole could have opted to admit Kurt to Dalton as a day student. Wes, and David and the others could be strictly boarding students, as besides Kurt, only Blaine and probably Sebastian are known to have homes in the area (Blaine due to the fact that he transferred to McKinley and is within easy distance for others to visit his home, Sebastian due to the fact that he states his parents live nearby and goes to Scandals, when most boarding schools have curfews, although he could just sneak out)
- Dalton was also implied to be a boarding school in Rumours when Sam says that he got a night job delivering pizzas, and delivered one to Dalton and saw Kurt, though this could have meant he was just staying late, not that he actually lived there.
- It was also implied to be a boarding school in Special Education when Kurt says he hasn't seen Finn since the wedding. If Finn already lives with Burt and Carole, obviously Kurt hasn't been living at the house. However, Burt had previously stated he was planning to buy a new house for all of them, and it's unknown when he actually purchased one and everybody moved in; it's possible that even though Burt and Carole were married now Finn and Kurt didn't live at the same house yet.
- In A Very Glee Christmas, Kurt is studying before taking a break to sing Baby, It's Cold Outside with Blaine while it appears to be dark out. After they're done singing Will comes to talk to Kurt there rather than visiting or calling him at home. This scene strongly implies that Kurt sleeps at the school during the week rather than commuting daily.
- Glee in set in Lima, Ohio, and Dalton Academy is in Westerville, Ohio, which is about 88 miles away from Lima. Kurt could commute every day, but the distance suggests that Dalton is a boarding school.
- In Born This Way, Blaine says that he will still be able to see Kurt after school and on the weekends, suggesting that he lives closer on the weekends and could commute to see him, if he was living at the school.
- In Original Song, Kurt is seen filing his nails with his "make-up table" infront of him, in what appears to be a Dalton Academy lounge. Kurt would not likely have all his make-up at Dalton if he needed to transport it 88 miles.
- There were no teachers shown at Dalton Academy until The First Time, when the Warblers serenade a French Teacher with Uptown Girl. Except one small spotting of a teacher in the Warbler's first performance of Teenage Dream in Never Been Kissed.
- More teachers can be seen in the hallway during the performance of Uptown Girl.

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

About Me:
♥ I am a very outgoing type of person. I love to laugh even through rough times. Smiling never hurts a pretty face. I have lines , do not cross them. If you do you are officially on my bad side. My friends call me Samia, family calls me Moonie (long story), or you call me by my name, Myrykle. My favorite artist is Tremaine Aldon Neverson b.k.a Trey Songz! I hate two-faced people. If your gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty. My favorite quotes are written by Marilyn Monroe and they are: 1.) "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." 2.) "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." 3.) "I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty but not beautiful." 4.) "If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything." ♥

There were top ten times in Saturday's qualifying in Bahrain for Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Kevin Magnussen and Fernando Alonso...
Kimi Raikkonen: "I am reasonably pleased with my qualifying, because up until this morning, I did not feel completely comfortable in the car, but the faith I put in what we had at our disposal was paid back with this result. We are improving in all areas, on the engine, data acquisition, electronics and the new parts fitted to the car have given me a better feeling from the front end. Sure, we are not yet where we want to be, but I think we are on the right path and we have the right people to give us every possibility to continue to move forward. It's hard to say how tomorrow's race will go, because in the simulation done yesterday, I was struggling on the Medium tyre, while the balance was better on the Soft. We know we can't fight with Mercedes, but today's result gives me more confidence than at the previous races and I will do my best to bring home a good result."
Fernando Alonso: "We tried our best as usual today and now we need to wait for the car to come back from parc ferme to work out why there was a drop in power in Q3. In winter testing here we had already seen that this circuit is particularly suited to the Mercedes powered cars, because the long straights allow them to use their top end performance. But given how free practice and the first two parts of qualifying had gone, maybe we could have hoped to be a bit higher up the order. Now, we must think only of doing well tomorrow, especially at the start, given we are on the clean side because of Ricciardo's penalty. Then we must work out the best strategy, choosing between two or three stops. A lot will depend on how the tyres perform: I think that, in lower temperatures than we have seen so far, the Medium could throw up some surprises."
Jenson Button: "Although we haven't qualified where we'd ideally like to have done, as a team I reckon we've done a more or less perfect job so far this weekend. It was very tight out there, we did all we could, and we ended up very close to P4; all you can do is get the best out of the car, and that's what we did here today. The four fly-away races are all about picking up points as and when you can. We've done that pretty well the first two races, and we've got to continue doing that. We're not the quickest, so we've got to make the best of what we have and what we are. A podium finish tomorrow would be great, but it'll be very difficult because the first two places are already fully booked as long as the two Mercedes cars are reliable. But let's be positive: we've got a fighting chance of making up places tomorrow, and third place is only three spots better than where we'll be starting from [sixth]."
Kevin Magnussen: "I'm not entirely happy with my qualifying position today, to be honest. We'd hoped that the cool temperatures would confer more of an advantage to us, and help us a little bit more, but it didn't work out that way. Having said that, Jenson did a very good job, and got a bit more out of the car than I did, and I think that's probably the most anyone could have got out of it today. Our race pace might be better than our qualifying pace was, and we should hopefully be a bit more competitive tomorrow as a result of that. We should be in the thick of the fight for points. But, first of all, I need to make a clean start tomorrow. I don't want any damage to the front wing at the first corner."
Toro Rosso:
Daniil Kvyat: "I am a little bit disappointed and also surprised with only making it to Q2, because we were fast enough to get into Q3 looking at how the rest of the weekend went so far. But unfortunately the others were faster and we didn't manage to improve enough so it wasn't a very satisfying Qualifying session. We will have a look at this tonight and hopefully we can have another strong race tomorrow."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "Today the team did again a very good job to give me a car that was more suitable for me and I had a good feeling in Q2. We made a good step forward compared to yesterday, even though I felt down in power and we will have to investigate the reasons for this. Anyway, we have to stay positive, also because starting 14th on the grid is not too bad and everything is possible. We just have to keep our head down and stay focussed."
Esteban Gutierrez: "I am satisfied with the result of qualifying today. We managed to put together some fast laps. I want to thank my team; they did a good job in finding the right balance from my feedback. We need to look forward and still work hard, because we are missing quite a lot of pace to be where we want to be. I have a great team and we are all working hard. Today it was the optimum I could get out of the car on my last really good lap. With the lower temperatures the tyres are behaving in a different way. I feel positive for the race tomorrow, but with our pace we cannot be in the top ten at the moment. However, I am sure if we work consistently we can get some points in the future."
Adrian Sutil: "Today there was not much to achieve. However, making it into Q2 could have been possible. Unfortunately, we are still too slow on the straights, and I am personally struggling with the fact the car is overweight. I only had one lap, as I had traffic on my second run. This resulted in aborting my final lap. We have to concentrate on tomorrow, and we need to be better in the race. However, it will be difficult to finish in the points. We are working on the car, and I think when we get to Europe we will be able to move further up the grid. I am looking forward to that and I will put all my efforts into it."

eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule

Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles – none of those four cars ever even registered – and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 – the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.

Frankfurt 2009: 2010 Volvo C70 works best in San Diego
by Jonny Lieberman (RSS feed) on Sep 16th, 2009 at 7:34AM
Why San Diego? That way you could maximize the amount of time your new C70 spends with its top down. More than three hundred days a year -- probably. We say this because we saw some leaked shots of Volvo's latest hardtop droptop a couple of weeks ago and it looked real nice with the roof stowed. Elegant even. But dude, is this Swede funny-looking with the top up. Viewed from the side, it's hard to tell which end is which. Only the arching, over-sized headlights lend a clue. There are some good points, like those aforementioned headlamps. And we really dig the new grill. The mirrors,... Read More
