Bill would let students leave guns in locked cars
A Montana lawmaker says students should be allowed to leave their guns locked in cars at school without fear of expulsion.
Republican Rep. Jerry O'Neil told the House Judiciary Committee Friday that students sometimes inadvertently leave hunting rifles in their vehicles and shouldn't be punished for doing so.
The Republican cited the 2010 suspension of a 16-year-old Columbia Falls student who left a hunting rifle in the trunk of her car. The student was disciplined after disclosing it to school officials.
O'Neil says House Bill 384 would still comply with the federal Gun-Free Schools Act.
The Montana School Boards Association opposes the bill. It argues school boards are allowed to make exceptions from the one-year expulsion recommended under current law.
The committee did not take immediate action on the bill.

Much like countryman Marc Leishman, Titleist Brand Ambassador Michael Sim also spent a portion of his practice days for the Farmers Insurance Open visiting the various Titleist facilities near Torrey Pines Golf Course to help him prepare for his 2010 PGA Tour season. Michael hopes to continue the strong form that saw him capture the 2009 money title/Order of Merit on both the Nationwide Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia, Player of the Year honors on the Nationwide Tour, a "battlefield promotion" to the PGA Tour courtesy of three wins on the Nationwide Tour, and a spot in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Michael worked with Titleist fitters at the Acushnet Test Facility on Wednesday to help with a wedge gap fitting as well as a 2-iron replacement. He told his fitter that there was too much of a yardage gap between his AP2 9-iron (+1/4" and 43° loft) and Spin Milled C-C 248.06 (standard length and bent to 47° loft). After testing several pitching wedge variations on the launch monitor, Michael was fit into a Spin Milled C-C 248.10 at +1/4" and standard loft. His yardage gap between the two clubs was reduced from 18 yards to 12.
Making his return to the States from playing back home in Australia, Michael was also looking for a club to replace the 695CB 2-iron he had been gaming. Michael told his fitter that the 2-iron was a good club in Australia, but not as good on the PGA Tour due to the low trajectory and shallow landing angle. He prefers the look of irons rather than hybrids at address, though, so the team built him an older Tour Prototype 503i with a Project X 6.5 shaft that matches his irons. After a few shots on the launch monitor with the new utility iron, it went straight in the bag for this week's event.
Michael's final stop before heading back to Torrey Pines for the tournament was at the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio. Here's what he had to say about the visit after his round Friday:
"I've been rolling the putter tremendously the last two days. I went to the Scotty Cameron studio on Wednesday afternoon and had a look at my putting stroke with Paul Vizanko, and it wasn't as good as what it was last year when I went in there, and managed to correct that in probably 20 minutes. Yeah, just rolled the ball pure the last two days, and even with the greens a little bit bumpy with the Poa and the amount of rain they've had, it didn't really affect my ball. I've probably got to thank him a lot for that."
Despite a rough start on Thursday (4-over through three holes), the preparation seems to have Michael on form once again. He finished Thursday's round on the difficult South Course strong to get back to 1-over 73, and after a sizzling 10-under 62 on the North Course on Friday, he finds himself only two shots back heading into the weekend.
What's in Michael Sim's bag this week at the Farmers Insurance Open:
Ball: Pro V1x
Driver: 905R (8.5°, Mitsubishi Diamana White 83X)
Fairway: 909F2 (13.5°, Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 93X)
Utility: Tour Prototype 503i (19°, True Temper Project X 6.5)
Irons: AP2 (3-9, True Temper Project X 6.5)
Wedges: Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C 248.10, Spin Milled C-C Prototype 54.12, Spin Milled C-C 60-T (all wedges with True Temper Project X 6.5)
Putter: Scotty Cameron Tour Newport Squareback

The much awaited and anticipated odyssey to El Cielo, Tamaulipas was canceled again due to hurricane Dolly. We intelligently changed the direction of our travel from south east to south west of Monterrey, Zacatecas was our destination for the weekend getaway. The Friday night was spent on the soft reclining seats of an air-conditioned Volvo bus, which carried us to our destination. The first few hours were cacophonic due to some unknown movie screening in the bus, but I had a sound sleep after that. It was 7 long hours of journey before we opened our eyes to the first dawn at Zacatecas.
The colonial city of Zacatecas, located in the central Mexico is the capital of the state bearing the eponymous name. Deriving it's name from Nahuatl word Zacatl (a type of grass grown in this region), Zacatecas brought back the memoirs of Guanjauato. I felt it was a lesser beautiful and lesser mountainous version of the Guanajuato city. The town is tiny with cobbled-stoned streets, cathedrals of neo-classical architecture, majestic colonial buildings, countless museums and gardens, classy fountains, aqueduct. The most striking feature of the town is the mine, La Mina el Eden and the cable car (teleferico) leading to the nearby mountain, El cerro de la Bufa.
After reaching the hostel Villa Colonial and finishing the morning mundane activities, we headed to Calle Hidalgo in search of breakfast. We were mesmerized by the chill weather of the dawn which was very welcoming for us. We found Gorditas de Doña Julia which served us mouth-watering gorditas of various flavours like nopales, huveos, rajas and picadillo. We then took the city tour on an open top bus, which costs 40 pesos per person. It takes about 40 minutes traversing the entire city, with an introduction of various edifices in Español. It starts and ends at Plaza de Armas.
Post city tour, we visited the central cathedral after which we walked to the museum that was declared as "Must see" by Wikitravel. It's called El Museo Rafael Coronel, the museum of masks. It's housed inside Ex Templo de San Agustin, which according to me is architecturally one of the most elegant structures. The walls of the edifice are sort of blemished, which gives the building a very artistic, retro looks and is a perfect choice for photographers. The entrance costs 30 pesos per person, the museum has all the possible masks one's imagination can reach. The photographs of the masks will be featured in another article dedicated to the museum. We were drained of energy by the time we stepped out of museum and lunch was the only thing that was on mind.
We were wandering in search of a crowded restaurant, normal human behaviour. We found one which read El Rincon de Sabor on Calle Hidalgo, a little ahead of of Plaza de Armas. I was delighted to see Pozole on the menu and without much thought, I ordered and recommended the same to others. The hot bowl of Pozole verde topped with chopped onions, lettuce, salsa and herbs tasted scrumptious. We then roved around the Centro trying to chalk out our next plan of action. Most of us were slightly tired and sleepy which made us go for a coffee house, after realizing that there were no Italian Coffee Company or Starbucks, we entered Acropolis, the most prominent restaurant in the heart of the town and had a dose of caffeine each. We relaxed for a while at the Social center at the hostel, with beers gabbing with other hostelmates before starting to El Cerro de la Bufa.
We started our tiny trek to El Cerro de la Bufa, the mountain which overlooked the hostel. It took about 20 minutes to climb those steps and reach the summit, quite an exercise for such a vacation. Atop the mountain, is a humongous boulder of rock which is a tad adventurous to climb and I live to experience such adventures. We all started climbing the rock and reached almost the summit of it. The panoramic view of the town was just too picturesque to put in words. After descending the aforementioned boulder, we went to the church which had a spacious courtyard, behind which there was a mirador, the view point for watching the golden sun setting behind the neighbouring mountain, immersing the whole city in his auriferous yellow shine.
The spice of the Mexican food had set many stomaches and arses on fire and those mortals wanted to have a non-Mexican dinner. We went in search of an Italian restaurant and ended up in a Spanish one. In Kannada slang, we have a thing called "Biscuit haaksoLodu" which loosely translates to "Getting screwed" and that's what happened to us in that restaurant. Without knowing the food and it's quantity we ordered some Pan Tomate and Ensalada. After nearly an hour long wait we realized that Pan Tomate cosisted of a bread slice, topped with tomato juice and olive oil and the later consisted of chopped lettuce with 4 pieces of tomato for decoration and 4 olives!!! The day ended with nice hot shower and sound sleep.
Our second day started off with an unforgettable breakfast in the same place we had lunch the previous day, El Rincon de Sabor. Huevos rancheros and chilaquiles were at it's best and each one of us had more than one dish to satiate out tongues. La Mina el Eden, the mine was our the next item on "to do" list, we walked up to the entrance of the mines which is about 15 minutes from downtown.
The entrance to the mine is just stones throw away from teleferico, it costs 60 pesos per person which includes the guided tour, entrance to rock museum and the train. We were provided with helmets at the entrance and the guide kept explaining about the mines, which we didn't heed to for it was in Español. The mine was cold and dark with minimal lighting (tripod is a must for taking decent photographs). It's not an active mine, it used to be source of silver, quartz and gold. There are mannequins here and there showing how the workers life used to be inside the mine. There are elevators inside the mine to take us to different levels and one can see the underground water table still present and at some places, the walls are still lustrous indicating the presence of silver. The tour takes about 40 minute and ends at the other entrance which has a precious stone museum. We saw repertoire of brilliant stones from all over the world in various forms, colours and sizes displayed in this museum. A sort of toy train drove us from the inside of the mine to the exit.
We walked back to hostel along La Alameda (an ancient colonial garden) and headed to Sunday market. It was a long walk beyond the Ex Templo de San Agustin and was not that worthy, it was yet another flee market. Enroute we tried some tasty Raspados and Tehuinos (fermented corn drink with chilli powder and tamarind). We were neither too hungry for lunch, not too empty to skip. We had some roadside tamales, which tasted sumptuous and a zillion times better than the previous night's damned Spanish Pan Tomate. On the way back we visited La Casa del Mezcal, wine store that just sells Mezcal, a close cousin of Tequila and bought some of them.
We relaxed over a beer at hostel and headed for an early dinner. By the time we packed our bags and reached the restaurant El Pueblito, Calle Hidalgo was crowded on both sides by entire population of Zacatecas. They were waiting for the parade to start, the parade which was about to mark the International Folklore Festival. As I placed the order of Pollo en mole, Enchiladas and Fajitas, we started hearing the drums roaring outside. I blitzed my dinner (Enchiladas were not that great) within seconds and ran to the street with my camera.
It was so jam packed that I had to click like those photographers trying to click a politician besieged by journalists, in other words, I had to shoot without even looking into my viewfinder. Composing the image is out of question, my right hand was sore holding my bulky camera up in the air. I witnessed ethnic groups from Greece, Croatia, Hidalgo, Zacatecas, South Korea, Finland, Libya, Oaxaca and other places. It was 8 in the evening and our bus was at 9:10, we had no other option but to quit the procession and reach the bus-station. Due to procession, the number of buses had been reduced and we had to take a taxi, which cost us just 30 pesos.

Yay I'm glad there is someone else out there who likes turquoise as much as me. It might just be my favorite color. I always like how you wear it, especially with the yellow.
Thanks for thinking of me with the picnic basket! Hehe. I think I've gotten used to picnicking with an unsightly cooler. I suppose it IS more realistic... ;)

Check out this story from an affiliate of Gannett News – a network that's not exactly Russia Today but instead firmly in the WaPo's camp of house organ to the Feds. Yet in reporting on the TSA's Orwellian "VIPR teams," the anchor asks whether the country is turning into a police-state. Yes! Actual term used! And rather than the usual puff piece on how VIPR protects us from the State's ubiquitous boogeymen, the account continues disapprovingly – albeit mildly so.
Meanwhile, twice this week I've come across readers commenting on articles in which they scold each other for defending the major parties. Why try to blame NDAA or the TSA or DHS or any of the other catastrophic evisceration of our rights on either Dumb-as-a-Bush Rethuglicans or Obummer's Demopukes, these folks ask. Why not realize it's us against the rulers? I expect such wisdom from LRC's audience, but out there among the sheeple? Whoo-hoo!!!!!7:14 am on August 8, 2013 Email Becky Akers

Appliance Industry Association Forecasts - Consumer Electronics Association
A Bright Future Beckons
by Gary Shapiro, president, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
I am proud to be part of an industry that not only is exciting and dynamic, but also profoundly shapes the world with its products and technologies. We've redefined work and play. And we'll continue to lead the way to fulfill demand for more access to information, entertainment, and education for people around the globe.
Gary Shapiro
We see a promising future ahead. And we see the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the International CES™ as major drivers of the businesses that will be created.
Today, the consumer electronics market is a bustling U.S. $100-billion plus industry—one of the shining spots in the U.S. economy. Industry growth mirrors CEA's own dynamic rise to one of the nation's 20 largest associations. We have more than 1,750 corporate members that represent the entire range of the CE industry. In the past 3 years, CEA's membership has tripled.
Although we are best known as the producers of the International CES trade show, CEA works to grow the industry through technology policy, events, research, and promotion and helps to nurture business and strategic relationships all year long. Whether it's protecting industry positions on copyright, digital television, broadband, spectrum management, plug-and-play, or connectivity issues, CEA works to ensure that consumers can buy and enjoy our products. CEA has helped create consumer markets for HDTV, satellite radio, wireless products, and many other emerging product categories.
As digital technology continues to fuel the industry, in particular DTV, digital radio, portable audio, cameras, and phones, our products are getting quicker, smaller, faster, and cheaper. We are seeing rapid growth in home networks, photography, navigation, LCD, plasma, and digital radio. Sensing devices, broadband, and wireless will help to define our future. In 2004, our industry will ship approximately $109 billion of product, a 5-percent gain over 2003. And the year ahead promises even more growth, with factory shipments of CE products in 2005 expected to top $116 billion.
As an industry, the challenge we face with our success is to continue to innovate. The success of HDTV gives us a model to follow. We see new opportunities coming like prerecorded HDTV, the next-generation of HDTV 1080P, the beauty of flat HDTV, and large LCD, plasma, and new display technologies with paper-thin visual displays. More, we are seeing a wave of products arriving in the wake of the marketplace success of DTV-new audio products that match the cool form factors of new video displays, recordable HD products, HD playback devices, and an array of accessories for new digital home theaters.
Although the industry is growing, we face challenges. We face economic uncertainty and concerns about terrorism. And we face issues unique to the CE industry such as content protection, product recycling, and broadband availability. Our industry also relies heavily on new technology launches to sustain growth. Further, the triple threat of consolidation, confusion in the market, and commoditization challenge the industry.
We need to find inventive business solutions to boost profits as competition intensifies, new manufacturers enter the market, and prices fall. And we must create products that simplify consumer's lives, not complicate them further.
We also are challenged by the need to strike a balance between protecting intellectual property while preserving fair use and home recording rights. To preserve that vital balance, CEA works with the Home Recording Rights Coalition (HRRC), which has been protecting the legitimacy of technology and the recording rights of consumers for more than 20 years. Together, we fight to ensure that the shift to digital content does not take away consumers' established fair use rights.
The good news is that consumers are finding compelling reasons to buy the latest digital products. Shifting content in time and place plays an ever-larger role in driving the sales of these devices. Consumers want to be able to take their information, entertainment, and communications with them anywhere—whether that is from room to room at home or on the road. As broadband penetration increases, our products will proliferate, and the rate of innovation will soar making me very optimistic about our future.
Our industry makes and sells the cutting-edge products that help us stay connected, informed, and entertained. We see a bright future with our products everywhere as we advance toward the $108-billion marker.

I didn't figure out the barrels for quite awhile, but I still got past them. I used the Bubble Shield's bounce jump to get it low enough to pass, but it could take some time. If I lost the Bubble on the way to the barrel, I'd have to press reset and try Carnival Night Zone again. Once I got Hyper Sonic, I used his Dash Attack downward repetedly until I got under the barrel. I've always wondered if anyone else thought of what I did.
That's way past cool!!

I figured it out by accident. Like a lot of other people, I thought you had to jump on it. But I had a tendency to press up when I jumped, even though I didn't need to. One time, I pressed up and I either forgot to jump or missed the button or something, and I moved the barrel that way. Figured it out quickly after that.

That little barrel must have taken off at least 5 years of my life. Seriously, I blame that stupid barrel for making me the angry, bitter, neurotic man that I am now. Curse you barrel, CURSE YOU!!!!!
Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But yeah, its the reason why I would always play Knuckles when I fired up Sonic 3 and Knux when I was a kid even though I though I liked Sonic better. I recall once when I was young I got through that barrel by dumb luck with Sonic and Tails, and I proceeded to beat the game fully. Since then, I used level select to skip that part and I would be able to play as Sonic from Ice Cap Zone in peace. It wasn't until much later that I learned the trick through the Internet and I was able to beat the game again the right way (it also let me beat the game with Tails and see Super Tails).

Wow, I feel a LOT better. I never had a Genesis, so I've only recently started playing this game on the PS2 Sonic collection. I'm playing it through the full version of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, because I figure it's better playing them altogether than separately anyway, and Sonic and Knuckles has a better bonus stage anyway. :)
Anyway, I first hit Carnival Night yesterday, and struggled my way through the zone. This barrel was as far as I managed to get, and yeah, I thought the whole object was to jump up and down. I finally got disgusted with it and turned the PS off, and figured I'd just come here and look up the solution later (that cartoon really made me laugh).
|orius | Posted 1/4/2008 2:37:09 PM | message detail
Got through it!
Is is just me or were Ice Cap and Launch Base a hell of a lot easier than Marble Garden and Carnival Night? I blew through those two zones very quickly after getting past the Barrel of Doom. I finally got through to Mushroom Hill and that's great because S&K is one of the very few Genesis games I'm familar with.

my brother and I played together, me as the little sister had to be Tails which I liked, and we worked hard on that part together, often having it take three minutes. then my brother got the level select codes from his friend Christian, and we always started right after Carnival Night Zone just so we didn't have to deal with that stupid barrel. and then when I bought the game for myself (we used to just rent it) my freshman year in college, I decided to look it up on GameFAQs. tragic that I learned that it was so deviously simple

I didn't figure it out until 2002, and I had gotten the game back in 94 for Xmas. I would repeatedly jump up and down on it, thinking that's how you'd get it down. I usually ended up playing up to that stage, resetting, putting in stage select, and continuing from Ice Cap.

The pit of doom was in Mystic Caves. There was a long drop and you'd land on spikes and eventually die. Annoying if you're Super Sonic because you need to wait for your rings to run out before you can finally die. Still, it compares to the barrel of death as a match compares to a blow torch.

First time I got through was with debug (only time I ever got StH3's debug to work, either).
If I recall, putting debug-mode Sonic in the wrong spot would make you stuck, wether he was in Sonic-form or Item-form (though it's been a decade since I remember).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say a man accused of shooting his girlfriend and her three teenage daughters in a neighborhood near Nashville has surrendered to officials in Memphis.
Shelby County Sheriff's Office spokesman Earnest Moore told WSMV-TV that Earnest Moore, who also goes by Earnest Woodley, turned himself in around 4:20 a.m. Sunday.
Nashville police were expected to travel to Memphis and bring him back.
Officials in Nashville and Memphis did not immediately return calls left by The Associated Press.
Police say Moore shot 34-year-old Nicole Luke and her daughters Friday afternoon in an apartment complex in the city's Madison neighborhood.
Police say one of the teens who was shot has been released from Vanderbilt University Hospital. The others remain hospitalized in stable condition.

The Lesson of WMF
January 1st, 2006 by Matthew Murphy, Filed under: Commentary, Culture, Full Disclosure, Microsoft, Virus, Web
[As a quick heads-up, I'd like to point out that Ilfak Guilfanov, Windows internals expert and one of the developers of IDA Pro, has released an unofficial patch (mirrored at iatechconsulting.com) for this issue.]
As a researcher, I'm almost always security-conscious. I keep my standard defense measures up-to-date, and I pay attention when new vulnerability reports appear. One of those new vulnerability reports surfaced at the end of December: the now-infamous Windows Metafile vulnerability.
Reading about the vulnerability, what concerned me most was the lack of realistic workarounds. Indeed, it wasn't until I had delved deep into the specifics of Windows Metafiles, spent a few minutes writing out a regular expression filter, deployed filters to the endpoint IDS on my PCs, and tested them against as many variants of the WMF exploit as I could find or produce that I was confident in my defensive measures. And all of that had to be done… to avoid the catastrophes that lay in wait if I had so much as viewed the wrong image.
To call the frustration I felt a Windows problem, though, is a mistake. Indeed, the vulnerability was a Windows bug… this time around. I could blame Microsoft for its error. Indeed, I could take advantage of this opportunity to tear at the flesh of Microsoft's developers for what was essentially an overlooked easter egg in a legacy graphics renderer. I won't, though, because to do so would be overlooking the far-broader implications of this issue, and it would be a mistake.
Indeed, similar vulnerabilities have affected other applications, both on Windows and on other platforms. Graphics rendering is a complicated task by most standards, and software to do that task has had and will have serious bugs. Gone are the days when avoiding code execution meant not opening suspicious application files. The reality is that most any software is, to some degree, an attack vector. And more likely than not, if your software finds wide deployment, those vectors of attack will eventually be exploited.
However, it is obvious from attempting to deal with this week's vulnerability that this reality was not what drove the development of quite a few popular software applications. Microsoft's scramble (and ultimate failure) to find wholly-effective workarounds for the WMF issue is a symptom of a development methodology that stretches far beyond the city limits of Redmond, Washington.
Developers are still holding onto the old clutch of treating graphics, audio, and other "pure" multimedia content formats as "safe". Since it is still widely held by developers that images are "safe" content, many are baffled by the idea that users would possibly want to disable functionality that is so integral to the experience of the web, and even to some operating systems as a whole.
There are a few exceptions. Mozilla Firefox, in particular, has the all-encompassing "Load Images" option. Outlook and co. now have "Remote Image Blocking" and other privacy features. However, these features (simple add-on changes in some cases) weren't designed with security in mind at all. In spite of the fact that I was using an e-mail reader which blocked image loading, a recent mailing list post from Larry Seltzer, conveniently enough, rendered an image just fine in my mighty image-busting (non-Microsoft) mail reader.
Had that image been hostile, I would more than likely have been successfully exploited. Granted, I run as a limited user, and I have other mitigators, but the success of it was still disturbing. Needless to say, my mail client now renders its e-mail messages in plain text as opposed to the prior "simple HTML" mode.
Admins during the WMF incident are making similar choices. Risk leaving yourself open to an exploit or force your users back to the internet equivalent of the stone age. The simple workaround of disabling access to metafile images was not so simple. Were workarounds easier to implement in terms of functional breakage, the rate of adoption would be far better. Developers everywhere could learn something from that. The absence of such simple workarounds has admins turning to third-party patches (like the one provided by Windows expert Ilfak Guilfanov [binary mirror]) while Microsoft's official investigation works to quash the hole.
More emphasis should be placed on allowing users to flip the switch on dangerous functionality (or "safe" functionality that turns out to be dangerous). Not only that, but applications should follow those settings to-the-letter, because doing so will greatly reduce the impact of unforeseen threats. Having the option to temporarily cripple flawed code in absence of a patch prevents users from choosing between the stone age and the repair shop. Most users will risk the latter before they choose the former. I, on the other hand, am waiting to put my tablets away until Microsoft issues its patch.
[UPDATED 1/3: I'd like to take the time to add three fantastic points of reference that have emerged as this issue has unfolded.]
- The ISC Handler's Diary (isc.sans.org) is full of details. It's a very informative read if you're looking to keep track of events related to the vulnerability (new exploits, sites to watch for, etc.)
- Ilfak Guilfanov's interim fix which has, thus far, proven exceptionally solid and effective in defusing this issue.
- Last, might be a surprising reference for me to suggest, but I'm going to suggest it anyway. Microsoft has recently updated its advisory on the issue to include a very detailed summary of its current information and ongoing action regarding this incident. As well as demonstrating that the company understands the urgency of the situation, it makes for very interesting reading, and also details some simple, common-sense steps that average users can take. I, for one, am holding out hope that informative, insightful incident management like this will be a new trend for Microsoft. That would indeed be very positive for most everyone.

text: Tears, anger, uncertainty as long and hard 2013 Formula 1 season closes in Brazil 25 November, 2013 The Formula 1 Class of 2013 posed for photographers at Interlagos Straight talking, no bull Mark Webber raced into Formula 1 retirement with one final show of irreverence. On the way to the Interlagos podium after finishing second, he took off his helmet to savour the very last garnd prix lap in the cockpit of a Red Bull. Told that he seemed to be tearing up as he took in the emotion of his last-ever lap, the popular Australian veteran replied afterwards: "It was [just] the wind." Webber, who is now released from his Red Bull contract in order to get an early start to his new Le Mans career, admitted driving around without a helmet was also not the kindest thing he could have done to his ears. And he said he got his helmet and Hans device "jammed" against the steering wheel, making it difficult to negotiate the final corners on the way into parc ferme. Final Formula 1 podium for Mark Webber "But it was good to get it off, obviously the marshals, the fans, to see…in this sport, it's not always easy to show the person that's behind the wheel," said Webber. Later, he slipped and fell on the podium, and the usually flawless Red Bull crew also messed up a couple of pitstops. But overall, it has been a frighteningly dominant display by the Milton-Keynes based team in 2013, led by Sebastian Vettel, who continues to sweep up all-time records. Webber, however, fell 43 points shy of finishing as the Championship runner-up behind his German teammate. Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel Red Bull Racing in parc ferme immediately after the race So he paid tribute to the actual 2013 runner-up, his Ferrari-racing friend Fernando Alonso, and also his own imperious teammate, Vettel. "Yeah, a very good finish to my career, a good fight with all the guys I've enjoyed fighting with for most of my career: Seb, Fernando, Lewis, Nico, all the guys who have been in the window for the last five or six years," said Webber. But while Alonso managed second place for himself, Ferrari ultimately finished the season just third in the Constructors' Championship – and furious with the outcome of Sunday's Brazilian finale. Indeed, had Felipe Massa not been punished by the stewards for crossing the white line of the pitlane entry in his Ferrari farewell, the Italian team would probably have beaten Mercedes to the extra millions for second place. Disappointing final race for Felipe Massa as a Ferrari driver Massa, racing in front of his home crowd in red overalls for the last time, was furious. "Unacceptable!" he fumed on the radio as he shook his fist. Referring to the FIA officials, Massa said afterwards: "These guys think they have all the power and they can do what they want so I am more sorry for them than for me." Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn admitted that his drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, had reported Massa's driving over the radio. "They were telling us that Felipe was driving with all four wheels over the line repeatedly," he is quoted by Auto Motor und Sport. Had Massa remained in fourth place, Alonso would have moved over to gift his podium place to the native Paulista for a fitting Ferrari farewell in front of his fans, he said, "When I saw him fourth I thought this would be a very good celebration for him." Massa confirmed: "I am sure that if I had found myself behind Fernando, he'd have let me pass." Daniel Ricciardo is now a Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo scored a point in his final race for Toro Rosso, the Australian moving to Red Bull as replacement for Webber. "At midnight tonight (Sunday) I become an Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver, but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone at Scuderia Toro Rosso, here at the track, back in Faenza and at our wind tunnel for two fantastic years. Thanks guys!" said Ricciardo with his trademark smile. Also departing from his current team, but with an uncertain future, is Pastor Maldonado who drove his final race for Williams after a season fraught with frustration which ultimately will be remembered for his allegations that the team sabotaged him during the US GP weekend. The high point of the partnership was without doubt the victory Maldonado scored at the 2013 Spanish GP. He said at the end of his last day with the team, "It's been a great three years with this team, I had a nice moment with Frank and the team this morning and they will stay in my heart forever." Sergio Perez before the start of his final race as a McLaren driver Sergio Perez delivered one of his best performances in his final race as a McLaren driver and summed up his sentiments after the race, "I've learnt so much from everyone at McLaren, the best team I've ever raced with, and I wish every single one of them all the best for the future. I wish Jenson and Kevin all the best for the future, too." "I think I've grown up a lot this year – both as a racing driver and as a man – and I think I'll be an even stronger competitor in future as a result," added the Mexican whose future remains uncertain. Others uncertain about the future include: Nico Hulkenberg, Esteban Gutierrez, Heikki Kovalainen, Paul Di Resta, Charles Pic, Giedo van der Garde and Max Chilton. The final race of the season also marked the end of the road for the current chapter of Cosworth as a Formula 1 engine supplier. Next year Marussia, their last ever F1 customer, will enjoy Ferrari power. (GMM-Apex) Subbed by AJN.

Cookbook Challenge: Cherry Garcia
Theme 1: Stonefruit
Cookbook Used: Ben and Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream and Dessert Book
Author: Ben R. Cohen and Jerry Greenfield
The cookbook challenge is back! This time we are doing it fortnightly instead of weekly so we have a better chance of staying on track. It was great to end last year's challenge with a lunch, so it's time to start all over again and see how many cookbooks we can get through.
I had seen Ellie from Almost Bourdain make this recipe a while ago, yet was without ice-cream machine to make it all possible. Fast forward till now! Hamsley bought me an ice-cream machine for Christmas (my hinting helped!). I decided to use the fresh cherries I picked recently instead of canned cherries. I think canned cherries would have added an extra sweetness, as the fresh cherries didn't seem as sweet against the ice-cream, and they were super sweet to start with.
It's true what they say though; once you've had homemade ice-cream, it's hard to go back to the store bought stuff!
Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe
1/4 cup shaved plain chocolate (B&J prefer Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate candy bars. I used blitzed Hershey's Kisses and some dark chocolate)
1/4 cup fresh Bing cherries, halved and pitted (you may use canned cherries, but see sure to drain the syrup)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk
1. Place the shaved chocolate flakes and the cherries in separate bowls. Cover and refrigerate.
2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whish in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
3. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. After the ice cream stiffen (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and the cherries, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
(Makes grateful 1 quart).
We are trialling a forum instead of doing round ups. If you are joining us, please check out the results here: http://community.jeroxie.com/groups/cookbook-challenge/

How delicious!!! I agree homemade is best and that looks by far the most yummy homemade ice-cream ever!!!
GourmetGetaways recently posted..Pineapple Frangipane Tart
Nothing is more satisfying than digging into a tub of some homemade icecream. How did the cherries go in the icecream? I find when you include fresh fruit into icecream that they freeze up and become somewhat unpleasant.
What a fantastic concept, would love to join but I'm worried I won't stick to it..

Oh dear god that's a bowl of heaven right there! Pity about the fresh cherries not working. I wonder if soaking fresh cherries in a little liquer would help, like kirsch? The alcohol might prevent ice crystallising in the fruit and add an extra bit of naughtiness
Emma @CakeMistress recently posted..Banana and Honey Bread
Getting off to a good start for the year, Shellie! What do you think of the Hershey's Kisses? I remember eating some a couple of years ago after a colleague brought some back from America (after not having had any for years and years) and being rather disappointed!
Agnes recently posted..Charcoal Lane- dessert
I know that Hershey's are tasteless and leave an odd chocolaty-film in my mouth (…or is that just me ?), but I spent a considerable chunk of my childhood in the U.S. and I just can't shake the habit. Maybe it's that irresistible peel-away foil wrapping. Your ice cream looks incredible, I think the fresh cherries were a good move to balance the ice cream: I've always found store-bought B&Js a bit too sweet after the first few mouthfuls. Beautiful photography
foodie and the chef recently posted..indian street food- onion bhajis and crispy lentil batons
Yum, totally yum, and so right for the kind of weather we're having here in Melbourne. You've inspired me to make some ice-cream over the weekend!
Queenotisblue recently posted..Coburg Cool – The Post Office Hotel
Seems like everyone's got an ice cream machine. I want one but then I'll be churning out so much ice cream and eating it all that I'll be so fat. Better not buy it, although I am tempted by the "once you've had homemade ice-cream, it's hard to go back to the store bought stuff!"

The same A4 processor, possibly clocked down to conserve battery life, a wireless 802.11N antenna, Bluetooth 2.1 module and 16GB/32GB of memory are some of the common similarities the two devices share.

-Re: 1.5 - how to build rpm; cdh3u4;
Since 1.5 was released, the RPM now expects at least one other profile
to be active, also: the thrift profile. This is because it was decided
during the reviewing of the release candidates for 1.5 that the thrift
bindings for several languages to the new proxy feature, should be
delivered with the new proxy.
The correct command for building the entire RPM for 1.5 would be
(minimally, if we skip tests):
mvn package -DskipTests -P thrift,native,rpm
Typically, one would also activate the seal-jars profile and the docs
profile, as well as build the aggregate javadocs for packaging with
the monitor:
mvn clean compile javadoc:aggregate package -DskipTests -P
Also, don't expect trunk to work the same way. ACCUMULO-210 is going
to result in changes to the way we build RPMs. Even if we make an
effort to continue to support building the monolithic RPM, there's no
guarantee that the maven profile prerequisites won't change, due to
other improvements in the build. For instance, the docs directory is
now a proper maven module and there are likely going to be changes due
to the discussion of consolidating documentation.
