Very Good Thing for the Price

Comments about Warrior 1 in. x 150 ft. Grit Sandpaper Roll:
It's 150 feet of 1" wide by 240 grit. I just today cut off about 10"--- utility knife on wood board, from the back of the tape--- and used it to entirely finish a bull-nose that I had put on each edge of a 48" x 12" x 1/2" board. I'm talking about sanding by hand, using the strip like a cloth being used to shine shoes.By that time that I was finished the strip was practically worn out, but hey... you can go around once when it's fresh with the 240 grit and then as you continue to go around with it you automatically have less-aggressive sandpaper to use for your final finishing.What could be better? Self-adjusting sandpaper! OK. Look, I'm not actually being facetious. I'll further point out that if when you're using it like a shoe-shine cloth, if you find that you need some more aggressive grit for a spot that needs to be knocked down you have only to choke up on the strip and get at the parts of it that you had held in your hands. They still have the coarse grit.At this price, $6 for 150 feet, this stuff is a steal. And I can do more than 150 additional boards of the size that I just finished.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Military begins packing up in Afghanistan
US troops expected to be out of area by 2014
SAN DIEGO - After 10 years of war, U.S. forces in Afghanistan are beginning to pack up equipment used during the conflict.
"They pack up everything of value," said retired Marine Maj. Gen. Bob Butcher.
Butcher should know, as he had a similar task in Vietnam.
"In Danang, there was a deep water port, so we could bring all the heavy equipment like tanks, trucks and more, and pack the ships to the gunwales. They can't do that in Afghanistan because they will have to drive all their gear out of the country to a port or fly it out," Butcher said.
Now at the Flying Leatherneck Museum on Miramar Road, much of what is in the museum -- planes, artillery, trucks and more -- Butcher saw as the embarkation officer shipping gear home from the war zone.
When the war in Iraq ended, there were upwards of five million pieces of equipment that had to be loaded on to trucks and driven to Kuwait to be loaded onto ships.
"Some of the units that are leaving now are taking stuff out they would have normally left behind, but they are taking it out because they know the end is coming," Butcher said.
President Barack Obama said there is a possibility that no troops will be left by December 2014.
Obama will meet with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai at the end of the week to discuss troop and equipment levels.

2013 Award of Honor: Sustainability Treehouse
Photo Credit: Joe Fletcher
2013 Award of Honor: Sustainability Treehouse
Mark L. Hinshaw FAIA, FAICP (BArch University of Oklahoma '70, MUP Hunter College/CUNY '72) has had an influential career spanning architecture, planning, and journalism. His election to the AIA College of Fellows in 1994 recognized the unique professional fusion that had made him effective as Bellevue's City Architect during the formative decade of his tenure there, beginning in 1982. He served as AIA Seattle President 1992-93.
More recently in a consulting practice that spans design and planning as Director of Urban Design with LMN Architects, he has gained increasing prominence and regard as a speaker and writer, in a variety of local, national, and international media. While his popular column in The Seattle Times has brought Seattleites a fresh look at the phenomena of their own city, designers from around the nation and the world have gained their impressions of Seattle's urban achievements from his writings in Architecture, Architectural Record, Landscape Architecture, and other professional journals. Mark has described the influences that have shaped his unique way of looking at cities, as observer and problem-solver, in a wide-ranging view that spans the urban horizon "from public policy to social psychology."
In addition to his consulting in communities around the Northwest, Hinshaw lectures widely on the subject of urban design at conferences and workshops.
Selected Publications:
· Citistate Seattle: Shaping a Modern Metropolis (APA Press, 1999)
· "Community by Design," The Seattle Times 10/21/01
· "Downtown devotees adapt to a life with Children" (The Seattle Times, 11/23/03)

Flipboard update allows others to contribute to your magazines
One of the biggest additions to Flipboard 2.0 was the ability for users to make their own magazines by curating stories. Magazines could be shared with others, and there have even been featured magazines as well. Today, Flipboard has updated its apps for both iOS and Android to allow curators to invite others to their magazines to co-curate content. Once you invite someone to your magazine, they will be able to add content to it either through the Flipboard app or using the Flipboard bookmarklet.
The update also has the requisite bug fixes and performance updates. It is nice to see the update hit both iOS and Android at the same time though, especially since there was such a big delay between Flipboard 2.0 hitting iOS and Android.
If you want to grab the update, just head to either the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store.

National home values in the United States were up 0.4% from June to July, to $161,600, according to the July Real Estate Market Report from Zillow. On a year-over-year basis, home values were up 6% from July 2012.
The real estate research firm said that the last time national home values were at this level was in September 2004.
Rents were up 1.7% on a year-over-year basis.
The research firm's Home Value Forecast calls for 4.8% appreciation nationally from July 2013 to July 2014.
Of the nation's 30 largest metro areas covered by the research firm, all showed year-over-year home value increases in July 2013, with more than half growing by double-digit percentages.

President Barack Obama signed a slew of bills into law during the lame-duck session of Congress and was dubbed the "Comeback Kid" amid a flurry of fawning press reports. In the hail of this surprise bipartisanship, though, the one issue over which Democrats and Republicans always agree, war, was completely ignored. The war in Afghanistan is now the longest war in U.S. history, and 2010 has seen the highest number of U.S. and NATO soldiers killed.
Afghanistan: The crucible for reorienting Canadian foreign policy
Operation Apollo, Operation Athena, Operation Archer, Operation Accius, Operation Altair... since Canada first entered the war on Afghanistan in 2001 the list of extensions, renewals and "spin-offs" has gone on and on and on. Originally scheduled to end in 2003, Canada's involvement in this imperialist aggression threatens to continue until 2014 if Prime Minister Stephen Harper gets his way.
Afghanistan has been the central preoccupation of Canadian foreign policy over the past decade. It has also been a main focus of peace movement activity. Mobilizations against the war in Afghanistan have not been nearly as spectacular as those against the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The build up was slower, and it took more time to locate a basis of unity upon which to build mobilizations.
Wikileaks: Colonial limbo a deliberate attempt to keep islanders from homeland
Six months ago, I wrote a piece for rabble.ca describing the appalling treatment of the people of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean by the British government.
The islands were purchased by the government of Britain in 1966 from Seychellois Chagos Agalega Company, with the initial intention of running them as a U.K. government-owned plantation enterprise. This proved less profitable than the establishment of Cold War strategic military bases, so the islanders were removed.
Three years later, Fukushima nuclear disaster continues to serve as a warning
Three years have passed since the earthquake and tsunami that caused the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. The tsunami's immediate death toll was more than 15,000, with close to 3,000 still missing. Casualties are still mounting, though, both in Japan and much farther away. The impact of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown on health and the environment is severe, compounded daily as radioactive pollution continues to pour from the site, owned by the Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO.
Growing support for Omar Khadr's freedom and next steps to justice
Despite recent legal setbacks in Omar Khadr's long struggle for justice, there is a growing wave of Canadian and international support from those who believe in his innocence, who are outraged at the gross injustice he has suffered and who demand his immediate release.
Equally encouraging are two voices from the U.S. military, Dr. Stephen Xenakis a retired Brigadier-General, and Sam Morison a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Defense, who recently travelled to Edmonton, where Khadr is currently detained in a maximum-security prison, to share their opinion that Khadr should be released.
Growing epidemic of sexual assault in the U.S. military
Rape is centre stage this week after the dramatic rescue of three women from close to a decade of imprisonment in a house on a quiet street in Cleveland. The suspect, Ariel Castro, has been charged with kidnap and rape. These horrific allegations have shocked the nation, and demand a full investigation and a vigorous prosecution.
Also this week, the Pentagon released a shocking new report on rape and sexual assault in the U.S. military. According to the latest available figures, an estimated average of 70 sexual assaults are committed daily within the U.S. military, or 26,000 per year. The number of actually reported sexual assaults for the Pentagon's fiscal year 2012 was 3,374. Of that number, only 190 were sent to a court-martial proceeding.
Wikileaks' new release The Kissinger Cables and Bradley Manning
Wikileaks has released a new trove of documents, more than 1.7 million U.S. State Department cables dating from 1973-1976, which they have dubbed "The Kissinger Cables," after Henry Kissinger, who in those years served as secretary of state and assistant to the president for national security affairs.
One cable includes a transcribed conversation where Kissinger displays remarkable candor: "Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, 'The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.' [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act, I'm afraid to say things like that."
Film pulls back curtain on Obama's 'Dirty Wars'
Bradley Manning speaks in preliminary hearing of court-martial
The terrorizing occupation of Afghanistan
We may never know what drove a U.S. Army staff sergeant to head out into the Afghan night and allegedly murder at least 16 civilians in their homes, among them nine children and three women. The massacre near Belambai, in Kandahar, Afghanistan, has shocked the world and intensified the calls for an end to the longest war in U.S. history. The attack has been called tragic, which it surely is. But when Afghans attack U.S. forces, they are called "terrorists." That is, perhaps, the inconsistency at the core of U.S. policy, that democracy can be delivered through the barrel of a gun, that terrorism can be fought by terrorizing a nation.

This week is Valentine's Week and I have to say, I am a romantic at heart. I love all the gooey sayings, mushy movies and yummy things that go with this Hallmark holiday. David and I got married on Valentine's Day, so it's always a special day in my book. As the years go by, I have noticed my creativity for gifts gets a little less innovative, so this year I was REALLY challenged when I realized the anniversary gift for the 8th year of marriage is bronze. Now, what in the world am I going to buy this guy that is bronze and really means something? After searching endless hours on the internet, I came up with something that I really hope he likes. It may sound a little weird, so let me explain. This year, I got him a hand sculpted bronze statue that is the head of two eagles. Now, eagles symbolize a lot in our family since Sean is in the military, but I didn't buy it for that reason. I was listening to a pastor talk about the ability that the eagle has to soar above all other birds, when it came to me-that's it! That's what I want my marriage to be able to do-to soar high above all the other "stuff" in life. So, that's what he is getting this year. The two "eagles" are David and I-the bronze is the tradition, and the engraving on the statue simply reads-2/14/12... "Forever soar" I haven't given it to him yet, so shhhhhhh... I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, I want to wish you and those you love all the best and may God's greatest love continue to shine on you as you "soar" with Him.< Back to Blog Listing

Social media is an ever-changing beast and we're constantly being asked by our clients to tame it.

When a nudge is better than a push in PR terms
A growing number of businesses and government bodies are applying "nudge theory" to make their PR, marketing and comms strategies more effective in changing people's behaviours and consumer choices. Is it time you thought about it too? This article may open your eyes.
Thinking like a patient, acting like a taxpayer - the Simon Stevens approach to the NHS
In a recent letter to The Guardian 71 senior NHS leaders warned that the NHS will become "unsustainable" unless politicians set out clearly how they will modernise and fund the service. They stated that "the services we commission and run are not designed to cope with the care needs of the 21st century," due to an ageing population, the growth in the numbers of those with lifestyle-related conditions and healthcare costs running 4% above normal inflation at a time when the NHS is expected to deliver huge budget savings.
PR wobbles? None last night as we were awarded 3 PRCA DARE awards read on..
All smiles for Kay and the team as Gravitas took home 3 PRCA DARE awards last night from the awards ceremony in Bristol.
Going back to the future?
In a recent interview with The Telegraph (29 May 2014) the new chief executive of the NHS, Simon Stevens, called for an end to the mass centralisation of services and outlined the case for more care to be provided in community hospitals. This was reported by The Guardian and others as a "reversal" of current policy, but is it? Have those who have campaigned against hospitals closures or the downgrading of services won the argument? Well, not quite, as what Stevens outlined was more an evolution in policy than a reversal.
E-cigarettes: an ethical or a class issue?
Listening to the experts at May's OTC Bulletin conference on e-cigarettes, I sense the fate of this new market lies as much in our class prejudices as anything.
It's double-awards time for our client Essilor. Weeks after they bagged Optician magazine's Campaign of the Year award, we are shortlisted in three PRCA DARE awards for the same campaign: #thinkaboutyoureyes.
The crisis around the corner
All of us at some time will have watched with a mix of horror - and a degree of glad-it-is-not-me sympathy - as a floundering Chief Executive or company spokesperson gets eviscerated by the media during the midst of a corporate crisis which has engulfed them. Corporate and personal reputations can be shattered in moments and take years to repair at great expense. In extreme cases, businesses go bust.
Can the customer ever really be king in pharmacy?

What charity PR can learn from behavioural science
I recently read a fascinating piece from The Marketing Society that identified insights from behavioural science to increase charitable giving. As a former charity PR myself, I started thinking about how similar tactics could be used to boost a charity's media coverage.
Contextual marketing that delivers great customer and patient experience could kill off old-fashioned, one-way marketing.
Many of our clients are rightly into this new game. They are nudging individuals to get health checks and eye-tests, or try a new product or service and they are targeting relevant people at those touch points in life when they're most receptive.
Can we have our words back please?
Whether it's digital or offline content, writing remains an important skill for PR pros. And nothing irritates us more than when 'impact words' lose their meaning by being overused. Here we examine some of the worst offenders.
I predict a riot

How do you solve a problem like Nigella?
It can have escaped no one's attention that Nigella Lawson has come in for a bit of a media battering recently. First the revelations about her unhappy marriage, with Nigella held up as the unlikely poster girl for domestic abuse, followed by the high profile court case and admissions of drug taking.
Green cause needs right sort of nourishment
The once-flourishing green cause has all the appearances of beginning to wilt.
Resolutions are for every day, not just New Year
Come New Years Day we shall make resolutions - but for January 1 itself. Then on January 2 we shall do the same, and on January 3, too, and so on right through the year.
Are PRs immune to their own tricks?
At a time when people are busy Christmas shopping, partying or just looking forward to the holiday season, getting consumers to pay attention and react can be tricky.
Traditional and social media - an uneasy marriage?
Are traditional media and social media warring factions or can they work hand in hand? Does the changing media landscape offer a big PR opportunity?
Can the last one leaving turn the lights out please?
If the headlines are to be believed we might as well just give up.
Fracking fight - more heat than light?
A much-cherished principle among protesters is that it's those who shout loudest and wave the biggest placards who get the best coverage.
Turn it off and on again

Its Showtime, folks
The words 'triple-dip recession almost sound like an amazing dessert but the reality is this is something the UK could face, as latest figures show the economy could re-enter recession. Can trade shows provide a way forward for businesses?
Every little helps when crises hit supermarkets
The Tesco horsemeat saga has gripped the nation this week, leaving our biggest retailer stacking up apology adverts while de-stacking the burger shelves. What should firms do to limt the damage when crises hit?
PR firm boosted by Olympic legacy
Gravitas Public Relations has leapt from the 2013 starting blocks with two new client wins - strengthening its presence in the healthcare and environment sectors.
Gravitas appoints senior account manager
Award-winning Cheltenham company Gravitas Public Relations has appointed a new senior account manager to strengthen its position in healthcare and the environment.
Hippies moaning and bending into funny positions used to spring to mind when yoga was mentioned but since starting a course a month ago I've found practising 'downward facing dog' and 'child's pose' to be the highlight of my week.
The laughing cavalier - all the way to the bank
Nigh on £500,000, one year's free health insurance and a hefty contribution to crisis management (or PR as the Beeb called it) has been deemed a 'cavalier' use of public money by MPs.
Pope upstaged in big news tweet-off
Wow; what a news day. As I sat down to blog about the pope entering the cyber-world of Twitter - lol - I read that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are, or is it is LMAO, expecting.
Leveson Report published
So the long-awaited Leveson report has been published. It depends who you speak to whether or not the recommendations are proportionate or not.
Awareness weeks promote essential health check-ups
As we go to press on this newsletter, look out for giant red hearts being splashed across the regional media and in the windows of independent pharmacies.
Prince Happy and the paparazzi effect
We say hats off to the charity WellChild which celebrated the courage of seriously ill children and the dedication of their carers at their recent London awards ceremony.
Pop-up shop power for cosmeceutical firm
We have added a top-notch skincare range to our growing portfolio of products for people wanting to look 10 years younger, safely.
Three things we like
Developments that push the boundaries of the health and green economies always grab our attention. Here we list three we particularly like:
Honeymoon for Hunt in health?
What do we know of Jeremy Hunt, newly responsible for the NHS, and is the outlook better with him in charge?
POM to P to P+
There are three classes of medicine in our health system and to date this structure appears to be pretty straightforward and has worked pretty well.
What do clients really need now from their agencies?
We asked our clients and contacts what drives them today when selecting a communications agency and this is what they said:
The green agenda
Between airport capacity and simpler planning laws, we can expect a lot more hoo-ha in the green agenda, following George Osborne's new measures to jump-start the economy.
Smells like team spirit
My mum, my two sisters and I all signed up in our local park last Sunday for Race for Life 2012. None of us are 'natural-born runners' (whatever that means), so teamwork really matters. Encouragement is often underestimated but hearing 'you can do it' when running can give you the strength to finish. Nothing carries you more than the encouragement of those around you.
A shortage of options on medicines?
The drug shortages crisis that has plagued the UK for the past two years has been tackled by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for pharmacy in a long-awaited paper. Read its full recommendations here.
Lets talk about sex, baby
My seven-year-old daughter is still my baby girl in my eyes. She'll always be so - that's the effect girls have on their Dads - but without wanting Victorian, I'm worried about mixed messages.
Life's a Pitch, and then you buy
"He's stolen my idea" I wailed today, hearing Philip Delves Broughton, author of Life's A Pitch, debating with writer and journalist Viv Groskop debate whether you can apply lessons from the business world to real life, on the Today Programme.
Keep on running
Support, determination and self-belief – three critical aspects needed when training for a marathon. This is what I discovered when I ran April's Brighton marathon – the same week I joined Gravitas Public Relations as an Account executive.
Where insurers can help corporate health
Speak up when leader's leave of absence risks rumour disease, says KAY WILLIAMSON
Far and wide rippled the relief when Antonio Horta-Osorio resumed the helm at Lloyds.
The day health new year resolutions wither
Jan 9 is the day most Brits break their New Year's resolutions.
Christmas spirit flowing at festive fair - a good use of my spare time
Helping my local community is an important part of my personal life and co-ordinating our annual craft fair is something I've done these last 15 years. Our annual craft fair is the culmination of a lot of hard work and effort by many people who ensure the Christmas spirit flows freely.

Fresh off of his third-round TKO victory over Lionell Thompson, light heavyweight Sergey Kovalev has signed a multi-year promotional contract with Main Events.
Kovalev has had two fights in 2012 they have been quick nights. He stopped Darnell Boone in the second round in June.
"We are finally in the right place. I knocked on many doors, Golden Boy, Top Rank, and more," Egis Klimas, Kovalev's manager said. "However no one took it seriously that Sergey Kovalev will be the next big champion in his weight division. But Main Events has the same beliefs. They did take us seriously. We signed with them and we are very happy with our decision."
Only two of Kovalev's fights have gone the distance in his brief career. He's looking to get back into the ring soon.
"This is the most important decision I have made in my professional career," Kovalev said. "I feel I have made a very good choice by signing with Main Events." He added, "I am ready for my next fight right now. I will fight anyone."
Check out highlights from Kovalev's last fight.

3 adults, 3 children injured in Tulsa apartment complex blaze
Six people, three of which are children, are in a Tulsa hospital Wednesday morning after an apartment complex fire.
Two of the children and two of the adults are in critical condition. Delores Taylor told investigators that the fire started in her apartment while she was taking a bath.
Taylor said the fire came from the hot water tank and the heater. She said she ran to every door trying to get everyone out of the complex.
"I just feel like it's my fault. I didn't get them out fast enough," said Taylor.
The owner of the complex put the residents in a hotel for the night. The Red Cross will meet with those who need help.

Remember lovely well-endowed dickgirl Nikki Noblong after her massive breast expansion and foot long nipple erection jacking off her gigantic cock between her monster tits and self-sucking her huge cock until her gigantic genitals explode in an enormous orgasm with her cumshot gushing cum like some phallic fountain spraying semen all over her beautiful body? Thinking back to that sexy series, while the big boobs / erect nipples two foot long penis autofellatio hermaphrodite lactating breast milk masturbation sequence was a magnificent sight to behold, what stuck in my mind most was the sidewider shot with her massive breasts hanging heavily in front of her slender frame and that world record breaking longest cock in the world dangled well past her knees between those sexy tattooed thighs of hers…
…however, at the time I'd blogged our naughty nipplicious Nikki Noblong, they'd not yet released the titanic tits / monster cock masturbation videos shot to accompany the series and, being a giant genitalia whore slut loving dickgirls like I do, that's what I really wanted to see; the sublime massive mammary motion of those hypnotic huge hooters undulating with foot long nipples erect and acting as two dairy divining rods with her big donkey dick dangling like a tantric genital tripod phallus pointing the way forward.
Once Nikki Noblong settles down onto the couch with her huge horse cock penis erect between those twin towers of tit flesh with pendulous nipples in need of attention, this well-hung hermaphrodite movie becomes a veritable wank-fest of two-handed handjobs and large penis self-sucking until she realises that she can jack off her nipples as well! Rubbing her massive dick head on her cock-sized huge nipples for precum lubrication, Nikki begins jacking off cock and nipple combined in two-fisted handjob action until her penis explodes with an ejaculation volume so intense the cumshot shoots several feet into the air!
Then, after her orgasm subsides, she just keeps on jacking off until the second cumming arrives and begins lactating from her enormous nipples gallons of breast milk to mix with the copious cum pooling on the floor in front of her in a sea of semen and lactate that's slippery sure to break health and safety rules with regard to sexual emissions (although the thought of tasting breast milk and cum combined in an orgasmic cocktail does seem somewhat tempting at the moment). And so, here's the lovely Nikki Noblong jacking off her nipples and colossal cock in these horny big tits hermaphrodite lactation videos from Futanaria.com:

But, Garrison's aspirations become her nightmare as she is forced to confront her deep-seated fears about sexuality when Kandi writes her a pop anthem titled The Mighty O - based on Garrison's own personal journey with her sexuality. Facing off against Garrison is Kevin, a successful 28-year-old lawyer, eager to become the next R&B sensation. However, Kandi is not fully sold on his swag, and tries to teach him how to woo the ladies.

Hot-rod bathtubs look like they're from the future
In Japan, everything is constantly being improved, it seems. They're never happy with whatever the current version of their things is, so they need to upgrade, upgrade, upgrade! And while bathtubs might seem like they're doing OK as-is, these hot-rod baths certainly do take the humble bathroom appliance to the next level.
Looking like either a gigantic glass pipe or some sort of frozen iTunes visualization, these are sculpted from fiber-reinforced plastic and "painted with colorful, fluid patterns meant to evoke a sense of speed." And sure, spending $26,000 on a bathtub might seem like a lot, how else are you going to upgrade away from the boring old bathtub you have now?

Why you should watch… GT1
The new GT1 World Championship races is the first international series to compete on the revised Silverstone circuit this weekend. Guest writer Stephen Prater urges you to tune in and explains where to find coverage online.
The second round of the new FIA GT1 World Championship is at Silverstone this weekend with one race today and another tomorrow.
Among the drivers are Renault refugee Romain Grosjean and several other ex-Formula 1 racers.
This new championship got underway with an exciting round at Abu Dhabi two weeks ago. Now the drivers will tackle the revised circuit the F1 teams will race on in July.
There are ten rounds each with two one-hour races each. The grid contains twenty four cars (twelve teams of two cars each) and six different manufacturers: Aston Martin, Corvette, Nissan, Maserati, Ford, and Lamborghini.
At least one former F1 driver has already achieved more success in the new series than ever in his F1 career – Romain Grosjean and his team mate won the last race at Abu Dhabi driving a Ford GT.
Other drivers with previous F1 experience include Mika Salo, Ricardo Zonta, Enrique Bernoldi, Tomas Enge, and Jean-Denis D?�?�l?�?�traz. Additionally, several drivers have single seater experience in various lower formulae prior to joining this Championship.
The FIA GT1 World Championship takes over from the FIA GT Championship which ran from 1997-2009. 2010 marks the first year the FIA has approved a ?���?�World Championship?���?� for GT racing since 1992.
Each team runs two drivers and the team must complete one mandatory pit stop to change drivers. The mandatory pit stop window opens approximately 25 minutes into the race.
The racing weekend is a full three days of action with practice on Friday, qualifying sessions and the qualifying race on Saturday and the championship race on Sunday.
The qualifying sessions mirror the format used in F1 and the grid for the qualifying race on Saturday is set according to the qualifying sessions. The finishing order of the qualifying race sets the grid for the Championship race on Sunday.
Points are awarded for only positions 1-3 in the Qualifying race and the Championship race points system is the same as the F1 system.
GT1 is broadcast on pay-per-view channel ESPN in Britain. Have a look at the TV guides page on their website to find out where it is being broadcast in your area.
If no-one is showing the races live in your area you can watch online for free. Qualifying and both races are streamed live on their website during every round.
The Qualifying Race starts at 4pm on Saturday and the Championship Race is on at 2pm on Sunday. See below for highlights from the Abu Dhabi qualifying race featuring some excellent overtaking by Grosjean:

From CDAN…
"What Real Housewives husband thinks he is getting away with his current affair. NOTE: "current" implies that this is not his first affair.
He thinks the woman is wrapped around his finger. NOTE: "wrapped" and "finger"… could connate a ring.
She has photos and cell phone video and his perfect world is about to come crashing down. NOTE: Which Housewife would take photos and video of her HouseHusband… for future release?
This is a huge one. Tabloid covers for weeks." NOTE: Ratings boost for their franchise! Interesting that the blind does not mention if HouseHusband is cheating with other women or cheating with men!
NOTE: This just cannot be MO-Ritzio… he's just too busy showin' houses!!!

Nearly 3,600 Michiganders Reach Out to Congress on Importance of Tax Exemption
Michigan credit union supporters have made nearly 3,600 contacts with their lawmakers in Congress according a weekly report from CUNA regarding credit unions' federal tax exemption.
The report shows that Michigan has had 3,582 contacts, mostly through the website, donttaxmycreditunion.org that CUNA set up for the campaign.
Across the nation, nearly 207,000 contacts have been made with Congress on the issue.
Contacting Capitol Hill is critical for the credit union movement as Congress considers a sweeping revamp of the federal tax code. On Thursday, The Washington Post reported that leaders of the Senate Finance Committee said they planned to start with a "blank slate" as the rewrite the country's complex tax code.
"We need credit unions to reach out to their members to ask them to contact their lawmakers," Adams said. "Even if your congressman is a known supporter of credit unions, send him or her a letter thanking them for their support.
"This battle is real and it's critical that we tell Congress how important credit unions are to the national economy and the local communities they serve."

Well, anyway, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the Gaudi tapas bar in the Barri Gotic. I love my bravas!
This is a bit of a test. I wonder if, by putting a famous name as blog title, it will get me many visitors from...outside. We'll see.
I also added some music to this blog. Thank you for your feedback!!!!!

I am sitting up in the north,in Stavanger, with my laptop in the living room and having "Barcelona" played just now, while I am writing.
Thanks for sharing the music as well as todays photo.
I saw a TV-program a couple of weeks back, about these famous buildings by Gaudi in your city. And the TV-crew were visiting a lady who lived in a very famous flat..... People were on waiting lists to buy one....
Probably VERY expensive!
Anyway, have a nice weekend!;-)

- Rob said...
I supppose you're right, Yoork, as pretty much everything Gaudi ever built is really over the top.
Btw, in the part of Germany called Bavaria, Munich area, to have Gaudi means to have a lot of fun (and beers and sausages), it's similar to the Irish craigh.

I love Gaudi's work and he is so quirky and mad art - Parc Guell is really fun and I have a collection of mugs based on his mosaics - a sort of trademark of his! I wrote a post on them recently after my trip to Barcelona in July. Also I like the major buildings- La Pedrera and Casa Batllo, and of course Sagrada Familia. He is a real Barcelona icon.

STATE COLLEGE — D.J. Newbill made his way around the arc with the clock ticking toward zero. As he surveyed the scene, the redshirt sophomore stopped and hesitated for a moment.
That's all it took.
Newbill slashed through the lane and laid the ball off the glass, giving Penn State a two-point lead and help his team hold on for an 80-76 overtime victory over Delaware State on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions (6-4) survived a second-half surge by the Hornets and fought from behind in the extra period to secure back-to-back wins for the second time this season.
We thought we had them where we wanted them but they played hard, said Newbill, who led Penn State with 22 points. They're a good team. We just had to keep playing. That's something we have to work on in practice.
Tyshawn Bell hit a contested 3-pointer to give the Hornets a three-point lead with 1:24 remaining in overtime. But Jermaine Marshall, who finished with 15 points, answered with a 3-pointer to tie game at 76-all.
Newbill's layup on the next Penn State possession put the Nittany Lions ahead, and a pair of clutch free throws by freshman Brandon Taylor put the game away.
I would love to blow a team out. Man, wouldn't that be nice? joked Penn State coach Patrick Chambers when asked if his team can learn from an overtime win.
I think it's going to help us. We played a lot of different guys. We played freshmen at difficult moments, so that wisdom, that knowledge and experience can only help when you get to the (Big Ten schedule).
Penn State maintained a double-digit lead for much of the second half, but failed to pull away in regulation and was up by three with less than a minute remaining. Ultimately, Bell knocked down a 3-pointer to send the game into OT.
A layup by Albert Thomas two minutes into overtime gave Delaware State its first lead of the game. Tahj Tate hit a jumper on the ensuing possession to extend the Hornets' lead.
Casey Walker paced Delaware State (5-6) with 24 points, shooting 8 of 19 from the floor.
We were very fortunate to find a way, said Chambers. We took the air out for a little bit, we weren't scoring. We were turning it over or taking bad shots.
The Nittany Lions got out to a 21-3 lead to start the game as Delaware State began the game shooting just 1 for 10 from the field.
Walker began to heat up late in the first half, though, shooting 4 of 6 from beyond the arc before intermission. The Hornets cut Penn State's lead to eight before the break.
I was in heaven that first 10 minutes. It was coaches' heaven, Chambers said. It was fun to watch. We played really good defense, played inspired, played with energy. But they're very good, very talented, very well-coached but I knew it was only a matter of time.
After shooting just 8 for 26 in the first half, Delaware State followed up with a 13 for 16 shooting performance in the second half. But Penn State went cold from beyond the arc after the break, shooting 0 for 7.
The Hornets took advantage, diminishing an 11-point Penn State lead with a little more than three minutes remaining in regulation. But Delaware State couldn't find a rhythm in overtime, missing a pair of free throws and shooting 3 for 8 from the floor.
Last year, we lost a lot of close games, said Marshall. But we were able to make stops and get rebounds, that's key to winning the close ones. I'm very proud we did that and I think our guys showed some heart knuckling down and getting a stop.

Public transport
A new discount scheme for annual myki tickets is starting in 2015 - see below for details.
A comprehensive transport system of trams, trains and buses (public transport) lets you easily travel around Melbourne.
Public Transport Victoria is the contact for information on public transport in Victoria.
Use the journey planner to work out the best route for your regular journeys to study or work. Most transport services end around midnight, although special night buses service many areas.
A myki card lets you travel on any mode of public transport around Melbourne and on regional trains and some buses.
The transport network is divided into two zones, representing inner (zone 1) and outer (zone 2) Melbourne.
Myki (pronounced 'my-key') is a travel card that lets you travel on trains, trams and buses. The cost of the fare depends on how far you travel and on the time it takes you to travel.
Transport users will first need to buy a myki card ($6 full fare) which you keep and add money to as you need it.
You can purchase a card:
- Online at www.mymyki.com.au
- At some metropolitan train stations
- Almost 800 retail outlets (including 7-Eleven)
- From a myki machine (full fare only) at all metropolitan train stations, some tram stops and bus interchanges.
- The myki discovery centre at Southern Cross Centre
- A regional myki retail outlet
When you add money, you should work out which is the best of these two options for you:
- myki money (A$ amount) which means that you 'pay as you go' – this option is good if you take multiple trips at different times of the day, throughout the week
- myki pass (travel days). This option is best for those who travel regularly.
To add monetary value to the card, use:
- a myki machine (located at some tram stops and train stations)
- the ticket seller using cash or credit cards
- the call centre using your credit card (call 13 6954)
- online using electronic funds transfer, or your credit card
How to use myki
- 'Touch on'. Touch your myki card to the centre of the card reader at the beginning of your trip. Listen for the beep and the green light to indicate you have touched on.
- 'Touch off' at the end of your trip by holding your card at the centre of myki reader, so that myki can calculate your fare.
- Myki will automatically deduct the fare cost from your myki card. Your myki account balance is displayed on the screen when you touch on or off using the myki reader or by checking the value on a myki machine.
Remember: Always 'touch on' and 'touch off' for each journey on train, tram or bus. Travellers without a valid myki may be fined.
Discounts for International Students
A new 50 per cent discount on an annual public transport ticket will be available to eligible international students in Victoria from 2015.
If you are an international student enrolled in and studying either a full-time undergraduate course (Bachelor Degree or Associate Degree) or a higher VET course (Advanced Diploma or Diploma) at a participating institution, you will be eligible to purchase a discounted annual ticket.
This new public transport scheme is a three year trial to provide international students with access to trains, trams and buses across Melbourne's public transport network.
Victoria's scheme will be available in all metropolitan travel zones and within regional areas, including Zone 1 only, which covers inner Melbourne.
For more information on this discount, including a fact sheet, visit the Public Transport Victoria website.
If you have more questions on the annual public transport ticket, email Study Melbourne at email@example.com
Concession Cards
If you are an international students studying in Victoria as part of a recognised exchange program, or have refugee status or have an Australian Development Scholarship, you may be eligible for a Public Transport Student Concession Card.
If you fall into one of these categories, contact your education provider for more information or visit www.ptv.vic.gov.au.
Regional Victoria's public transport (V/line)
Victoria has a network of regional (country area) public transport (www.vline.com.au) including buses and trains for travel around and between regional towns and for travel to Melbourne.
V/Line is the largest provider of train and bus services and myki and the V/Line ticketing system operates on these services.
Regional train services operate between Melbourne and key regional centres including:
- Albury / Wodonga
- Bairnsdale
- Ballarat
- Bendigo
- Echuca
- Geelong
- Sale
- Seymour
- Shepparton

You can plan your journey and book your V/Line trip online.
Getting to and from Melbourne International Airport
A regular bus operates between Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Southern Cross Station in Melbourne's city centre. SkyBus runs every 10 minutes during peak times and no bookings are required. Tickets can be bought online before you travel and are valid for three months from the date of purchase.
From Southern Cross Station you can catch trains and buses to a number of destinations around Melbourne and rural Victoria. Some tram services also stop outside this station.
Taxis are located outside main Melbourne Airport entrances. Special taxi queuing areas are marked. Taxis are registered and operate within strict guidelines. They use a 'flagfall' or initial charge and then charge per distance at set fees. An online fare calculator can help you estimate the cost of taxi travel to and from the airport.

In complex testing environments electrical signals have to be transmitted into or out of the EMC chamber. Special types of signals cannot be EMI filtered and will therefore require conversion into fiber optic cables, to ensure that there is no interefrence generated inside the test environment.
For that purpose we offer a variety of different interfaces that convert the electrical signals into optical signals and then back into the original format. These the signal can be transported via fibre optics which immune against electrical fields.
A sophisticated shielding and filtering concept ensures that the interfaces are immune against radiation and do not emit EMI.
Where appropriate only one unit is shielded (inside the test chamber) and one unit is in a standard housing (external).
If required both units can be shielded.
RF-Immunity 200V/m up to 18GHz (shielded unit)
EMC compliant to CISPR 22 Class B
Battery (approx. 8 hours operation) or mains powered
Compact metal housing
No galvanic connection between test equipment and measurement instruments
All interfaces are shipped with the appropriate power supply or battery and charger.
Fibre optic cables: variable lengths ST/FSMA-connector or ST/ST-connector
