Best New Slogan for Denver
"Denver: We Love It!... Most of the Time"
Welcome to the city of conditional love. You know about Denver's 300 days of sunshine a year, right? But nobody ever talks about the other 65 days, which are consumed by blizzards, tornadoes, wildfires, drought and calamity. The temperature here is mild, except when it isn't. Average precipitation is moderate, all of it coming in a single dump of snow…

Best Addition to the Denver Post
Greg Moore
Greg Moore, a former managing editor with the Boston Globe who was cherry-picked by owner Dean Singleton for the position of Denver Post editor, has been on the job for less than a year, but he's already done what many observers thought would be impossible: He's got people talking about a paper previously regarded as stodgy and deadly dull. The…

Best Addition to the Rocky Mountain News
The Stump
We'll admit it: At first the Rocky Mountain News's new design hurt our eyes, and we couldn't imagine how the paper would continue to fill its "channels" -- those left-hand columns earmarked for chatty tidbits, quotes and "by the numbers" trivia. But the News adjusted some type, we adjusted our expectations -- and the channels just kept getting better and…

Best Correction in the Denver Post
Two days after the new leaders of the Colorado General Assembly were sworn in this session, a correction appeared in the Denver Post: "Because of a reporter's error, Diane Carman's column on the Denver and the West cover Thursday incorrectly stated that Colorado House Speaker Lola Spradley's mother was among the family members at the Capitol on Wednesday to witness…

Best Correction in the Rocky Mountain News
In January, the Rocky Mountain News ran this correction on page two: "The cover photo of today's Spotlight section shows a snowshoer rather than a cross-country skier." Bet they know the difference now.…

Best Fact About This State to Tout to Conventioneers
Forget the snowpack. Colorado is awash in less ambiguous liquid assets, a fact noted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science when it welcomed 6,000 members to Denver for a convention this year. True, the brainiacs acknowledged, Denver is the most educated city in the U.S., also the "thinnest" city in the "thinnest" state. But what's the most…

Best Monument to the Cheeseburger
2776 Speer Blvd.
Smile and say "Cheese." In 1935, Louis Ballas, owner of the Humpty-Dumpty drive-in in northwest Denver, put a slice of cheese on a hot burger, and the rest is history. The world's first "cheeseburger" - a term patented by Ballas -- is honored with a small memorial at 2776 Speer Boulevard, now the parking lot of Key Bank.…

Best Useless Guidebook to Colorado
Colorado: A Silly Guide to the Centennial State
You'll learn things reading Steve Owings's new book, Colorado: A Silly Guide to the Centennial State, that you never imagined. For example, "The city's night life is best viewed from LoDo (lower downtown). Once teeming with vagrants, panhandlers, prostitutes, and abandoned warehouses the area has been rejuvenated with the addition of Coors Field, Starbucks, Planet Hollywood and numerous other attractions…

Best New Job for Wellington Webb
Loft Broker
After selling the city on redevelopment of the Platte Valley, just think how soon-to-be-ex-Denver mayor Wellington E. Webb could excel at unloading all of those unsold lofts now cluttering up the riverfront. When showing prospects the properties, WEW could demonstrate how those high ceilings accommodate even his big shoulders. Closet space for oversized tennis shoes? No problem. Act now, and…

Best New Job for Wilma Webb
Landry's Seafood Restaurant
To further protect the Webb legacy along the Platte, Her First Ladiness needs to come to the aid of the one big clunker in her hubby's redevelopment scheme: the failed Ocean Journey, soon to become a theme park where relatives of your entree swim while you eat. As a gracious greeter, handing out menus and urging patrons to consider the…

Best New Job for Tracy Baker
Script Writer
The Osbournes
The dad's the bleeping prince of darkness, his wife's a bleeping bleep, and the kids are so bleeping out of their bleeping heads, talking such crazy bleep about who's bleeping who in the bleeping bleep.... This kind of high drama, relentless passion and utter clarity deserves the high-minded poetry and incisive sentiment of moonstruck Arapahoe County Clerk Tracy Baker, whose…

Best New Job for John Oglesby
Snowplow Driver
Former parking czar John Oglesby left Denver employ in disgrace after his world-class bungle over a new! improved! parking plan. But come this summer, it's a whole new bawl game, with a new mayor and lots of new opportunities in the city -- where Oglesby could reclaim his hefty Career Service Authority pay level as snowplow czar. He already has the…

Best Indication That Nature Has a Sense of Humor
Stout Street, March 19, 2003
In the middle of the blizzard of the century -- depending on where you start counting -- a savvy reader snapped this natural phenomenon in the 1500 block of Stout Street. Meet Frosty, the Snow Man-o-Man.…

Best Addition to the Denver Skyline
The Millennium Bridge
Riverfront Park
With a good measure of artistic skill and an even bigger helping of panache, Steve Chucovich's ArchitectureDenver whipped up a brand-new pedestrian bridge that's already a landmark in every sense of the word. The Millennium Bridge dramatically spans the railroad tracks that separate the Platte Valley from LoDo at Riverfront Park, connecting old Denver with new. Suspended from a soaring…

Best Addition to the Denver Skyline -- Commercial Division
Coors Light Billboards
Some love 'em, some hate 'em, but nobody can miss them -- the ubiquitous Klimaszewski sisters, Diane and Elaine, who watch over the Denver skyline from Coors Light billboards, their mountainous assets a match for the peaks to the West. And the twins have done their bit for more than just the scenery: The advertising campaign in which they play…

Best New Public Art
Untitled Sculpture by Larry Kirkland
The Wellington E. Webb building in the Denver Civic Center complex is so lavish, it's been dubbed the "Webb Mahal" and, in honor of its prow-like shape, the "good ship Welly-pop." But the building has undeniable appeal, a large part of it due to public art -- especially Larry Kirkland's untitled sculpture, which has its own nickname: "Big Giant Head."…

Best Gambit
Walter Gerash's Chessboard
A small redstone-and-granite chessboard now stands as a monument to the peaceful co-existence of the old and the new. Attorney Walter Gerash, whose law firm occupies 1439 Court Place -- known in Denver landmark circles as the Curry/Chucovich House -- persuaded workers constructing his twelve-story neighbor, the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building, to spend their spare time and spare…

Best Freak Show
Skip and Amy
There are a lot of kids on the 16th Street Mall who want your spare change, but few who will hammer 5 1/2-inch nails into their noses to get it. Skip and Amy, two kids from Minneapolis, are the exception. Since they arrived in Denver last July, they've been shocking squeamish yuppies on their lunch breaks with their pointed performance…

Best Socialite
Holly Kylberg
If anyone in Denver has had her picture in the paper more often than John Elway, that person has to be Holly Kylberg. It's not just because she has a pretty face (she does), but because of her enormous heart. But this is not a medical story. By all accounts, Holly's Huge Heart is the direct result of her life's…

Best Anti-Socialite
Koleen Brooks
Koleen Brooks's life this past year was a train wreck -- and as with any gruesome accident scene, you couldn't help but look. And look again. And again. Brooks's over-the-top -- and lift-up-the-top -- attempts to gain sympathy and support during her recall vote as Georgetown mayor, as well as to gain hits for her Web site, shall forever serve…

Best Decision by the Colorado Supreme Court
Jurors Can Ask Questions
In February, the Colorado Supreme Court adopted new rules that allow jurors to submit written questions in both criminal and civil trials. Although the trial court still has jurisdiction over whether those questions are appropriate, the move should help make justice more understandable -- and accessible. Power to the people!…

Best Political Giveaway
Lone Tree
The little town of Lone Tree just south of Denver is "the city that's growing. Carefully," according to its own slogan. But that doesn't mean it lacks humor -- as is vividly displayed in Timberlines, the town's newsletter. To add to the fun, Lone Tree delivered a 2003 calendar to every home and business in the city, decorated with the…

Best Political Decor
State Senator Norma Anderson
Norma Anderson may have been chosen as Senate Majority Leader this session, but she doesn't have a stuffy decorating sense to go along with her title. Instead, she brought to her office the same artistic masterpiece that used to grace her place in the Colorado House: a 13-by-19-inch velvet Elvis, complete with a single tear rolling down his cheek.…

Best Bus Route for People-Watching
RTD Route 52
Arvada to University Hills
When it comes to people-watching, RTD passengers are spoiled. Every route offers the amateur sociologist a wide array of snooping opportunities, but Route 52 is particularly choice. This is one of the routes subcontracted out to Laidlaw, a private firm that hires non-union drivers to drive smaller-than-usual buses, and the cramped quarters are especially conducive to unfettered eavesdropping. Route 52…

Best Place to See a B-52 Bomber (This Side of Iraq)
Wings Over the Rockies Museum
Watching CNN's war coverage can be overwhelming, with all those talking heads spewing out acronyms and nicknames in some incomprehensible military jargon. There are so many references to Raptors, Falcons and Eagles, Blackhawks and Apaches, F-14s, 15s, 16s, 18s and 22s that you can't tell what the heck they're talking about -- football scores, maybe? But boning up on aviation…

Best Use for Excess Homeland Insecurity Supplies
Ducti Wallets and Purses
Orange alerts have you a little rattled? Did you get all caught up in the duct-tape-and-plastic-sheeting frenzy, and now your garage looks like the supply shed for Possum Lodge? Take a deep breath and take heart in what others have done with the handyman's secret weapon. David and Joy Pippenger and Wade Morrison took a long look at duct tape…

Best Transportation Support Group for Homeland Insecurity
Urban Hummer Driving Classes
Medved Autoplex
You've got three tons of urban assault vehicle strapped to your back, but it won't get you to your remote mountain sanctuary unless you know how to use it. In fact, it won't get you out of a snowy King Soopers parking lot, either, unless you learn how to handle it on slick roads. Enter Medved Autoplex, which sponsors an…

Best Homeland Security Uniforms
U.S. Mint Police
Denver Mint
If looking sharp helps you be sharp, the U.S. Mint Police are the cutting edge. In October, the 450-officer force received the Best Dressed Police Department Award in the specialized-agency category from the National Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors. The uniforms, designed by Galls Inc. of Lexington, Kentucky, come in LAPD Blue, with long- and short-sleeved versions that can…

Best Silver Lining From a Natural Disaster
Morel Mushrooms
Western Slope Burn Areas
The morel the merrier! This year, the U.S. Forest Service is anticipating an influx of nomadic hunter/gatherers to the Western Slope, all in search of the prized morel mushroom. The fabulous fungi thrive in soils where lodgepole and ponderosa pines have burned, and depending on the amount of moisture they receive in late spring, they could be popping up in…

Best Corral for Decommissioned Grocery-Store Penny Ponies
T.D. Rowe/ ACE Vending Company
They shoot horses, don't they? The mechanical ponies that grazed for pennies near grocery-store entrances may well be moving from threatened animals to full-blown endangered-species status. For decades, the brightly colored "equus plasticus" has been sufficiently attractive to compel tots to hop aboard for a slow rocking and their first real taste of sheer boredom. Now, as shopping has become…

Best Far-Out Example of Urban Sprawl
Coyote Ridge at Strasburg
"If you build it, they will come" is a hackneyed Hollywood phrase that's sunk deep into the American lexicon; apparently it served as the mantra of the optimistic developers behind Coyote Ridge at Strasburg. For all you agoraphobics and urban dwellers, Strasburg is a sleepy little hamlet 35 miles east of Denver on I-70, where Coyote Ridge boasts single-family homes…

Best In-Fill Development
Sure, we miss having the airport close to the city -- but at least Denver got something out of the deal. Last year, the Stapleton redevelopment project received the James C. Howland Urban Enrichment Silver Award from the National League of Cities for its contributions to the urban environment. The old airport is being redeveloped into a combination of housing,…

Best Drop-in Center
Sox Place
From the darkness of his troubled adolescence in Arkansas, Doyle Robinson found the light: He would draw upon his own pain to help troubled teens. From his early days handing out tube socks to homeless kids on the 16th Street Mall, Robinson's vision has grown to include Sox Place, a converted downtown auto shop that's now Denver's only daytime drop-in…

Best Example That the Lord Will Provide
The Word of Jesus Christ Church
Down in Pueblo, the Word of Jesus Christ Church needed money for a new building. And pastor Albert Struck thought he knew exactly where to get it: by auctioning off a 1986 Honda Accord that had been donated to the church. Normally, a 1986 Accord won't bring that much cash on eBay -- but this car had a critical extra.…

Best Colorado Souvenirs
Vail Manhole Covers
Municipal Building
Like just about everything else in Vail, the town's new manhole covers were pretty classy -- and after a few were stolen right out of the ground, town officials decided to change the way visitors procured their souvenirs. Now you can buy your own cast-iron Vail manhole cover, emblazoned with the original Vail logo, the resort's 1962 founding date and…

Best Appearance by a Coloradan on National TV
Ryan Sutter
The Bachelorette
Is it possible? Can nice guys finish first? Week after week, much of America pondered that question as bachelor after bachelor fell by the wayside on ABC's The Bachelorette. Meanwhile, hunky former football player and current Vail firefighter Ryan Sutter kept on keeping on, looking like a lovable lug, talking about how much he loves his dog and occasionally reciting…

Best Appearance of a Coloradan's Work on National TV
Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter
The sitcom Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter doesn't bear a close resemblance to the book of the same title by W. Bruce Cameron, who honed his humor while raising a family in Evergreen and started his writing career by syndicating a column over the Web that was picked up by the Rocky Mountain News. True, John Ritter plays…

Gary Magness/Sarah Siegel

Gary Magness and Sarah Siegel, both children of Colorado celebs (he's the son of late cable magnate Bob Magness; she's the daughter of Celestial Seasonings founder Mo Siegel), are not only jet-setting, they're trend-setting: The pair's nuptials were featured in the spring 2003 edition of In Style Weddings. The casino owner and underwear designer, respectively, got married at the Mexican…

Meeker? For this year's swimsuit edition, SI headed out to Seven Lakes Lodge, an exclusive (rooms go for $1,230…

Best Must-See Local TV
Johns TV
Channel 8
For years, the Aurora Sentinel has published photos of men convicted of soliciting ladies, and gents, of the night. But this past July, Denver and its television station, Channel 8, upped the ante on anti-prostitution efforts with the launch of Johns TV, a televised marathon of mug shots that aired six nights a week; "As Seen on Johns TV," a…

Best Glasses on a TV Personality
Stacey Donaldson
Channel 31
Most television news types would do anything to avoid making spectacles of themselves, including having their eyes lasered so that they don't have to wear glasses. But Stacey Donaldson, a second-string weather forecaster on the local Fox affiliate, rejects this theory, opting to wear a pair of dark-framed, oval-rimmed glasses that make her stand out from local news's look-alike pack.…

Best Official Biography of a TV Personality
Dan Daru
Channel 2
TV station Web sites regularly feature biographical material about their featured personalities, and the vast majority of it is about as spicy as a brick of Velveeta. But the bio of Dan Daru, Channel 2's wild card, is a notably cheesy exception. His tale, accessible at WB2.trb.com, claims that he was born with "an extra pair of lips on his…

Best Hair on a TV Personality -- Male
Mike Landes
Channel 7
An entire generation of Denver television viewers grew up admiring the coiffure of onetime Channel 9 icon Mike Landess, and why not? His 'do was so perfectly geometrical during his '70s and '80s heyday that it seemed to have been fashioned in a Mattel factory. As seen today on Channel 7, the distinctive helmet is grayer, but just as flawless.…

Best Hair on a TV Personality -- Female
Tamara Banks
Channel 2
Then again, there's much to be said for no-nonsense hair -- a style that doesn't look as if it needs the equivalent of an Indianapolis 500 pit crew to assemble. So here's to veteran broadcaster Tamara Banks, who, in a profession dominated by salon junkies, prefers a look that's simple, elegant, and not in any way reminiscent of plastic by-products.…

Best Removal of Facial Hair From a TV Personality
Tom Martino
Channel 31
For years, self-proclaimed "troubleshooter" Tom Martino has had trouble directly under his nose: a thick mustache that made it seem as if he had something to hide (like, perhaps, a secret fondness for Geraldo Rivera?). By relegating this accoutrement to his bathroom trash can, he instantly cleaned up his image. On the face of things, anyway.…

Best Radio Reporter
Alex Stone
Chronologically, the baby-faced Alex Stone, who's in his early twenties, may be the youngest full-time radio reporter in the city. But he's also the most versatile, with a proven ability to anchor broadcasts, deliver newscasts or work in the field -- and he handles breaking news, background pieces and light fodder with equal skill. Considering his talent, and his recent…

Best Radio Revolutionaries
Skyjack Radio
For a few glorious weeks last year, Skyjack Radio, a thoroughly illegal radio station, knocked the Denver hip-hop community on its collective ass with uncut rap delivered with sheer exuberance and plenty of profanities. When representatives of the FCC caught wind of the signal, they promptly shut it down, but not before it reminded listeners of how fun and exciting…

Best TV Revolutionaries
Free Speech TV
Although conservative commentators have long held that news programming on television has a liberal slant, the media as a whole is generally more interested in maintaining the status quo than in fighting the powers that be. Not so Free Speech TV, a channel out of Boulder that's viewable by subscribers to the DISH Network system. This grassroots operation is unabashedly…

Best Political Commercial -- 2002 Campaign
"Moment of Silence"
The fall 2002 campaign season was among the noisiest, and dirtiest, on record. So it came as a blessed relief when Bighorn Ballot produced a spot in which a peaceful nature scene was supplemented at its conclusion with a graphic reading "This moment of political silence brought to you by Bighorn Ballot, sponsor of Issues 28 and 29." Since both…

Best Political Commercial -- 2003 Campaign
John Hickenlooper isn't your usual candidate for mayor of Denver, and so it was no surprise when he came up with an unusual TV ad. Still, when so many Colorado political ads are either heavy-handed or ham-handed in delivering their message, "Suit," which shows Hickenlooper trying on an assortment of vintage outfits, was a breath of fresh air in what…

Best Anti-Radio Web Site
Most of us realize that a hefty percentage of the shows on Denver radio stations are repetitive, creativity-free and capable of insulting the intelligence of the average house plant, yet we don't do anything about it but complain. So kudos to Jon-Michael DeShazer, who refuses to take the mediocrity of local radio lying down. DenverRadioSucks.com, the Internet site he oversees,…

Best Radio Talk-Show Host
Greg Dobbs
KNRC, which debuted last summer, hasn't yet challenged the hegemony of the assorted Clear Channel outlets that dominate the local news-talk market. But Greg Dobbs, a former ABC-TV correspondent who manned a talk-show for KOA during the '90s, is certainly doing his part. His morning-drive offerings are consistently intelligent and wide-ranging, providing substantive discussions about topics obvious and obscure. In…

Best Radio Sports-Talk Host
Sandy Clough
The Fan
As Joni Mitchell sang, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. In recent years, Clough has co-hosted The Fan's morning-drive program, and while he could be cranky and curmudgeonly, he also brought rare perspective and intelligence to a medium that's frequently lacking in both. Clough was replaced on the show by Lou From Littleton, an inveterate homer whose…

Best Radio Station
KVCU/Radio 1190
In a radio world marked by conformity, Radio 1190, a signal affiliated with the University of Colorado at Boulder, provides a refreshing blast of individuality. The DJs at the outlet, whether they're working standard shifts or specialized shows, are distinguished from their professional counterparts by a love of fresh, outside-the-mainstream sounds, and their unpolished exuberance is infectious. As a result,…

Best TV Weathercaster
Bob Goosmann
Channel 31
When most weather forecasters predict storms or systems that either fail to materialize or blow up to much larger proportions than they anticipated, they seldom acknowledge it. Bob Goosmann, on the other hand, is the rare weatherman who'll admit to screwups and explain where things went wrong. He's not afraid to take chances, as he did when positing that the…

Best TV Anchor
Jim Benemann
When Jim Benemann recently floated the possibility in the press that he might move from Channel 9 to its closest competitor, Channel 4, many industry observers viewed it as a negotiating strategy. But he was serious: On March 21, Channel 4 announced that Benemann, who'd once been a weekend anchor at that station, would be returning to the fold. This…

Best TV Sportscaster
Mark McIntosh
Channel 4
Mark McIntosh's delivery is fiery and pugnacious; when taking viewers through highlights of a sporting event, he often seems ready, willing and able to jump into the action himself. He's also a good writer and reporter who knows when to shut up and let the pictures do the talking and when to step up and swing for the fences.…

Best Proof That Sports Aren't Just a Man's World
Colorado Sportswomen
Channel 4
During most sportscasts, the focus is on boys, boys, boys; it's as if Title IX never went into effect. But Colorado Sportswomen, a semi-regular program hosted by Channel 4 longtimer Marcia Neville, puts the focus on the other gender, demonstrating along the way that ath- letes aren't defined by their jockstraps. The Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television recently…

Best TV Newscast -- Night
Channel 4
Molly Hughes has proven to be a strong addition to Channel 4's late broadcast, and she'll get strong support when Jim Benemann's non-compete with Channel 9 expires and he's able to join her at the anchor desk sometime this fall. The real key to the ten o'clock newcast's success, though, isn't its on-air personnel or flashy graphics, but its newsiness.…

Best TV Newscast -- Morning
Channel 9
Chemistry is hard to define but easy to recognize -- and Channel 9's Gary Shapiro, Kyle Dyer, Kathy Sabine, Gregg Moss and Drew Soicher have it. They take the prize again this year for their ability to balance news updates of actual significance with lighthearted shenanigans that should be irritating during the a.m. hours, but aren't. For the most part.…

Best Dry Humor
Denver Water
The bad news about Colorado's drought was still trickling out last summer when Denver Water decided to alert the public -- gently -- to a potentially dire situation.

Colorado Waste Tire Program
On the one hand, big nasty piles of illegally dumped tires, just waiting to spontaneously combust.

Best Mild-Mannered Accountant With a Mission
Lynn Turner
Colorado State University College of Business
When the sheer ingenuity of the complex financial shenanigans arranged for Enron by no-accountants Arthur Andersen was revealed, the call went out from Washington to Professor Lynn Turner at sleepy old Colorado State University. A seemingly mild-mannered professor of accounting, in a previous life Turner served as chief accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission, making him the go-to guy…

Best Consumer Watchdog With New Bite
Jack Ehnes
California State Teachers Retirement System
As Governor Roy Romer's insurance commissioner in the mid-'90s, Jack Ehnes was a local consumers' hero, always fighting for the little guy. Although most of his innovative reforms have since been undone, he's still in there pitching for Colorado consumers -- albeit indirectly. As chief executive officer of the California State Teachers Retirement System, the third-largest public pension fund in…

Best Non-Random Act of Kindness -- Legislative
State Representative Paul Weissmann
We've missed Paul Weissmann, a Louisville bartender in his real life, who enlivened many a session as a senator at the Statehouse. Now the Democrat is back as a state representative, and he's not wasting any time proposing improvements. While several of his suggestions have run up against the Republican wall, he's managed to push a few through on his…

Colorado's courts are in a world of hurt financially, as is every other governmental institution these days, and court employees will be missing out on several days' pay this year.

Think you've got it bad today? Times were much tougher during the Silver Panic, when families were large and "orphan trains" brought more than 1,500 abandoned children to Denver from the overcrowded East. Some of the children handed over to the Denver Orphans' Home for safekeeping didn't survive bouts with pneumonia and diphtheria; 22 children who died at the home between…

Daniels College Prep Program
Before he died, Bill Daniels, the cable entrepreneur, poured much of his considerable fortune into the Daniels Fund, which subsidizes numerous good works.

The intensive pro- gram includes college-prep workshops, summer seminars on a local…

tyro, you bring up a good point in that I actually have demonstration shafts here in the design studio that I show students when they come through here. These shafts are terrible and oscillate in many different directions meaning they have a wicked spine and are basically not playable. All of these shafts are either poor quality OEM shafts or very cheap poor quality shafts that were mostly put in very cheap golf clubs. Notice that I said, "Very cheap shafts of poor quality", because there are some very good shafts on the market that are very inexpensive, so this is why you cannot simply use price alone. I do not find poor quality anymore in top grade shafts as I have said in previous posts. Part of my lecture in the studio is telling the students that the easiest way to detect a shaft like this is exactly as you described and that is that when any shaft is inconsistent by hitting in all directions meaning hitting it left, right, low and high at random then you may have a shaft problem. As far as I am concerned the solution here is to throw the shaft away and install a high quality shaft if you want to save the driver. When a shaft is this bad, you do not want to try and save it by orientating it in some manner to make it work.
So, while every top quality shaft will always have some sort of a spine you can find, none of our testing has shown any difference in performance by orientating it with the spine in some certain direction. Remember now that we are talking about top grade shafts here with the point being not to play with shafts of very poor quality

Just when you think you've heard it all about the Patriots, along comes the new book "Coaching Confidential: Inside the Fraternity of NFL Coaches."
It's written by Gary Myers of the New York Daily News, who has covered the NFL for 30 years and was given access inside the Patriots' bunker in ways that few ever have.
And the best chapter?
At least for around here?
It's called "Tuna Subs," it deals mostly with the strong personalities of both Bill Belichick and Bill Parcells, largely told through the viewpoint of Robert Kraft, who employed them both. Rest assured Kraft knows them in ways that we don't.
Or how about this gem from the time Kraft asked Belichick how much did the "SpyGate" incident — the Pats accused of videotaping opposing teams' defensive signals — help the Patriots on a scale of 1 to 100?
"One," Belichick replied.
"Then you're a real schmuck," Kraft said.
Kraft is the centerpiece of the chapter on the Patriots, and what emerges is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what we usually don't see with the Patriots.
One is about Parcells, whom Myers writes had one of the biggest egos and résumés in the game, and from the beginning made it difficult for Kraft. Parcells had had great success doing things his way and wasn't overly thrilled with being questioned by anyone, his new boss included.
Even if, as Kraft says, "My experience with him, inheriting him as a coach, was probably the best thing that could have happened to me. It taught me about the NFL and how things worked."
Kraft also says, though, that Parcells never would talk to Kraft's wife, Myra, not even to be polite. He also mentions the time he had a guy on the team plane who had loaned Kraft a lot of money to buy the Patriots and Parcells wouldn't even say hello to him, never mind talk to him.
"Look, he did great things for the franchise," Kraft says. "He brought us instant credibility. He's an engaging personality, and fun to be around when he turns on the charm. I'm not sure he was always respectful to me."
Kraft says in "Coaching Confidential" that he now has a cordial relationship with Parcells, but the juicy part is about when Parcells and the Patriots lost to the Packers in the Super Bowl in January of 1997, the time he truly learned about the NFL.
"I was a naïve kid," he says. "The whole Parcells experience was horrible in many ways. He didn't fly back with us from the Super Bowl. He tortured me. So it got me ready for the business. His record with us was 32-32. He was a .500 coach in his years with the Patriots…..I got roughed up pretty bad, and all I was doing was looking out for my team. I got the crap beat out of me because I wasn't just doing what Bill wanted."
Pete Carroll was the bridge between Parcells and Belichick, of course, hired primarily because Kraft didn't want to hire Belichick — whom he liked and was on the staff — "because I didn't want to have anything to do with Parcells."
In retrospect, it was like trying to follow a hurricane, and even though Kraft loves Carroll — "You want Pete to marry into your family" — it didn't work.
"Can you see Bill Parcells coming to work in sandals?" Kraft said.
Enter Belichick.
We know much of this, of course.
How everyone in football thought he was going to be the new coach of the Jets in January 2000, before shocking the football world with his bizarre, rambling press conference saying he didn't want the job. Myers writes that one of the reasons was he wanted out of Parcells' shadow.
What's been largely forgotten is that that Parcells and Kraft had to negotiate Belichick's release from the Jets, the first time they'd talked in three years.
"I'm in my office and they said someone is calling and they it's Darth Vader," Kraft says in "Coaching Confidential. "So I knew exactly who it was."
Myers writes that Belichick has turned out to be a combination of Parcells and Carroll, a control freak like Parcells, but he also respects Kraft the way Carroll did.
"Whatever I want to know, I know," says Kraft.
Myers also writes that Kraft never thought of firing Belichick after SpyGate, that he believes Belichick "would never knowingly break the rules or cross the line. I know him. I'm not saying he was a choirboy."
And if critics will forever say that what the Patriots accomplished before the videotaping was stopped is tainted?
"That's their problem," says Kraft.

The president in Hawaii yesterday set the record straight on the U.S. position regarding waterboarding:
KAPOLEI, Hawaii — President Barack Obama says the interrogation technique known as waterboarding constitutes torturing, disputing Republican presidential candidates who say they would reinstate the practice.
Obama called waterboarding "torture" and said it was "contrary to America's traditions" during a news conference at the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
So would previous administration officials who permitted waterboarding be considered war criminals? I think so.

Tonelux Tilts NAMM
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – DECEMBER 2009: Tonelux rack-mounted gear, which is exclusively distributed worldwide by TransAudio Group, will introduce its new TILT eight-channel tone control at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California in January 2010. The innovative TILT control, designed by Tonelux founder Paul Wolff, rebalances a channel's high- and low-frequency content via a single knob, and was first featured on the company's MP1a discrete mic preamp module.
Centered on approximately 700 Hz, the TILT control knob boosts high frequencies from 0 dB to 6 dB while simultaneously cutting low frequencies by the same amount when turned fully to the right. When turned to the left, low frequencies are boosted by up to 6 dB while high frequencies are similarly cut. This allows a user to conveniently alter the EQ of a track to better fit into the mix using a single rotary control. more

Hi All, Our house is sitting towards the back of the lot, so backyard space is very limited. We want to use our front yard but as you can see from the picture, it has chain link fence and it is not very private. The width of the lot is about 50 feet. We are thinking of putting privet along the side walk and maybe swap the chain link gate to something more private. Any ideas or suggestions? We are working on a small budget but would still want to make it look good enough for the neighborhood. Thanks!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
My yard was similar but a bit larger. We replaced chain link with picket fence. Added mixed planting bed along fence, and island beds in lawn area. A solid wall along the front was not desired, just several layers of plantings of different heights which filter the view without blocking it completely. I enjoy the people walking by who comment on the garden. Our 'private' area is a patio on the side yard. |
most local building codes don't permit a front yard fence or hedge taller than 3'-6". I know in L.A, this is not enforced unless someone complains but it definately pays to be aware of it. |
chadinlg-- Nice front yard! Nil13-- |
Thanks, I think if I had teapots house I would lose the gates entirely and add a 3-4 foot wide planting area along both sides of the driveway, and along the front fence. The remaining fence can be vine covered with something like a bignonia. If a small tree is planted at each side of the front to the driveway it will give some privacy. Another option is to put a wood fence with gate across the middle of the driveway - and park just past the sidewalk. The back portion of the driveway could then become a private patio area |
Thank you for the suggestions! Both are great options that would make my front yard look way better. However, either can provide the privacy that I am looking for. Wooden fence will be limited to 42 inches in height. This is the reason why I am keeping the chain link and hope that a row of privet will cover the chain link and maybe only change out the gate. |

If you can grow a Mexican Fan Palm, you can grow Citrus. Citrus can be hedged. It doesn't go dormant, and you can have a lot of nice fruit. I pass a home daily with hedged citrus. It looks beautiful. Citrus trees can be purchased at the big box stores for not too much money. They do go on sale. I don't think we care so much about privacy here, but I'm putting in a couple trees just to hide the neighbor's junk truck from my kitchen window. It has flat tires and is full of boxes... Very junky looking. Our fence and gate is wrought iron. We are alternating dwarf citrus with roses, but we have about 200' of frontage, so it's a lot! These days, a gate is an important part of protection from random crime. A redwood gate might give you the privacy you want plus protection. Good luck to you! Suzi |

I have removed many redwoods (after they caused major $ damage) and replaced them with Citrus and Red Tipped Photinias. RTP's grow very quickly and will get to over 18 feet tall if you let them. They would give you easy to maintain privacy. On the other hand, Citrus is much more fun. [BTW: some of the best deals on Citrus can be found at Costco in the coming months...] Good luck! |
Thanks Guys! One thing about citrus hedge is that I think it will be better as a hedge for the backyard. I always think evergreen would look more uniform and hence better for the front yard. Am I wrong? |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 19 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 9:23
Citrus is evergreen with the added benefit of fruit! Just so you know. Good luck to you! Suzi |

Blueberries? Some grow 4"-6"+ I'm planting blueberries against a shed that can be seen from the street behind me. Just to help it blend in the landscape. They are only a year old or so and are kind of dense. They are already about 3' tall. I can't wait for them to be full grown. It won't be perfect privacy, but filtered privacy. Or you can plant Italian cypresses :D plant them 18" apart for a 60' tall solid wall ;) Or blackberries. Thorny for protection and edible. Pineapple or lime guava are edible and bushy type plants. You can plant a passion fruit vine. They are incredibly prolific and grow pretty solid. They won't grow much taller then the fence though. Maybe some prickly pear cactus. Those get tall. For my front yard, I'm doing roses. I have a small unusable piece of property between my house and street. I planted roses out by the street and I'll let them grow wild. I have one yellow rose at the back of my house that is almost 8' tall and bushy. It's solid. Pic is of the young roses. They are maybe 1-1.5 years old planted from 1 gallon containers. I planted them because there were jade trees there and looked odd. I had a fern volunteer that started taking over the jades. So out they came. It's slow growing but eventually the roses will grow in and provide privacy. Sorry I can't be much more help. I removed all my non edibles in favor of only edibles. So I don't know much about other kinda of plants. |

I have a row of Camellia sasanqua 'Leslie Ann' they are upright growers. Anyway every year they experience die back caused by a fungus. Two of them are doing very well, but the other three are substantially affected every year. I use mulch and planted them high. I think the area is too wet in general. Should I dig up the three and plant another kind of plant? If so, what kind? It needs to be wet-tolerant (obviously) with narrow upright growth, and preferably wildlife value. |

Chezron, are you sure it's not tea scale? My mom's Camellia is in a low, wet area and she has a similar problem. She thought it was a fungus; however, on my last visit I discovered that her problem was tea scale, not a fungus. Anyway, I guess my question is, "Are you sure it's a fungus?" If 2 of them are doing well and the other 3 have a problem, I'd try to address the problem before pulling them up. How old and/or big are they? Also, is mulching a good idea in a wet area? I removed all of my mom's mulch in hopes that the soil would dry out sooner. I'm a rookie at gardening & certainly not the one to advise you on what to do. I'll watch this post to see what the experts have to say. Perhaps I'll learn some tricks to help save my mom's Camellia. Good luck! Bon |

Here's a Clemson U. publication that may be helpful. I've grown Camellias for many years and have experienced few diseases during that time, until last year. Leaf-gall on a few sasanquas and Iron chlorosis on one or two japonicas has been the only past problems, but last year we received so much rainfall, that three young one's died from root-rot. |

New 'Zero-Calorie' Sweetener Available
Shugr is a new zero-calorie sweetener manufactured by Swiss Research, Inc., of Los Angeles, California, available nationwide at The Vitamin Shoppe.
Shugr is made from sugars that occur naturally in fruits, vegetables, corn and dairy products.
"Until now, there has been no natural alternative to zero-calorie sweeteners," says Loren Miles, CEO of Swiss Research, Inc. "Some with no calories don't taste like sugar. Others don't cook and bake well, so there is a separate cooking and baking version that is actually half cane sugar, adding back the caloric and glycemic loads."
Miles adds that Shugr tastes, cooks and bakes like cane sugar.
"It rises, browns and caramelizes like cane sugar. It also requires no special measurements—a teaspoon of Shugr equals a teaspoon of sugar."

A Note From Gerri French, MS/RD, CDE
Shugr is made of four ingredients: erythritol, maltodextrin, tagatose and sucralose (Splenda). Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that contains only 0.2 calories per gram, which can be defined as "zero calories." It is different than other current sugar alcohols that are called reduced-calorie sweeteners and typically have 2 to 3 calories per gram. Sugar by comparison has 4 calories per gram.
Tagatose also is a reduced-calorie sweetener that is metabolized differently than sugar and is incompletely absorbed. According to www.caloriecontrol.org, it contains an energy value of only 1.5 calories per gram. On a food label, the "zero calorie" claim can be used when using less than 3.33 grams per serving of tagatose.
Maltodextrin is a unique sugar with a low glycemic index but it does provide 4 calories per gram. It is used in many items in such small amounts that it does not impact the calorie value of the food.
Sucralose or Splenda is a non caloric sweetener.

Tuesday Workouts: 3.25 miles (3 mile run in 28:40)… ?
I really need to update my Garmin! I didn't get home from work until almost 6 and decided to do a quick 3 miler around the neighborhood. I started in the spot that must get no satellites for my Garmin and my first mile was really off. I know this particular route very well and know exactly where my Garmin should beep for 1 mile. It didn't beep for another 30 seconds and I knew I was running faster than a 9:43 pace.
I'm signing up for the Nittany Valley Half-Marathon on December 4th. I did this race last year and it is tough! Just take a look at the hill descriptions above that are on the website. I feel really motivated after the great 5 mile race from this past weekend and would like to do another 1/2 marathon to get rid of the bad feelings from the Hershey 1/2.
This is the plan I came up with to get me ready for this next half marathon. This is my last week with a Wednesday marching band rehearsal at night, so if I don't get that run in I will be okay. Also… I FINISHED MY GRAD CLASS SUNDAY NIGHT!! I am so happy to get a break until the middle of January! The 5k race during week 6 is the local Turkey Trot I will run Thanksgiving morning. Colby also asked me to run another 5k race that will be the weekend before that. Three races in two weeks :) I haven't ran a 5k since May 2010 and I am really looking forward to pushing myself.
Are you running any races in November/December? Are you looking forward to cold weather running? I am!! I actually love running when it is cold!

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
6 So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchi'ah, the king's son, which was in the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down by ropes. And there was no water in the cistern, but only mire, and Jeremiah sank in the mire. | 6 So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king's son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud. |
7 When E'bed-mel'ech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern--the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate-- | 7 But Ebed-Melech, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate, |
8 E'bed-mel'ech went from the king's house and said to the king, | 8 Ebed-Melech went out of the palace and said to him, |
9 "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern; and he will die there of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city." | 9 "My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city." |
10 Then the king commanded E'bed-mel'ech, the Ethiopian, "Take three men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies." | 10 Then the king commanded Ebed-Melech the Cushite, "Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies." |
11 So E'bed-mel'ech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe of the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern by ropes. | 11 So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went to a room under the treasury in the palace. He took some old rags and worn-out clothes from there and let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern. |
12 Then E'bed-mel'ech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Put the rags and clothes between your armpits and the ropes." Jeremiah did so. | 12 Ebed-Melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, "Put these old rags and worn-out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes." Jeremiah did so, |
13 Then they drew Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard. | 13 and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard. |

I cannot believe I need to ask this in FFG's backyard but is there anyone interested in setting up a regular get together?
I'd prefer to stay east of 35w and south of 36 as I live in Woodbury. I try to be at the Event Center most Wednesdays but it can get quite busy with Heroclix, miniatures and the meetup all going on at the same time. I'm open to most nights or locations within the limitations I laid out already.
Thank you
PS- I did post this on BGG as well.

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone knows of ebuilds for maven2 and continuum. If there's not something already out there for maven2 I created one based on the current maven-bin in portage. I set it up as a separate ebuild called maven2-bin so they can be duel installed. If anyone is interested I'll post it here. Continuum is the other one that I'm wondering if anyone has created an ebuild for. I'm in the process of downloading and installing the beta-1 of it now, and could probably make an ebuild like the one for maven-bin if there isn't one out there already. Does anyone know of one? Thanks, Rich -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson's decision keeps in place an existing injunction against a section of Proposition 35 that requires registered sex offenders to give authorities a list of their Internet providers and screen names.
The ruling does not affect other portions of the November ballot initiative, which toughened penalties on those convicted of human trafficking.
The San Francisco-based judge ruled that opponents represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are likely to prevail in their argument that the provision violates the First Amendment.
Had Henderson not acted, more than 73,000 registered sex offenders would have had to provide their online identities to law enforcement. The initiative also would have required them to report any new account or screen name within 24 hours.
The initiative passed with 81 percent support. However, Henderson ruled that the state attorney general was not able to show that the reporting requirements were narrowly crafted so they would solely be used to fight online sex offenses.
"The government has a legitimate interest in protecting individuals from online sex offenses and human trafficking," Henderson wrote in his 21-page decision. But he concluded that sex offenders "enjoy no lesser right to anonymous speech simply because they are 'unpopular."'
The injunction will stand until the state proves otherwise.
Chris Kelly of the Safer California Foundation said in a statement that he is confident the provision will eventually be upheld by the courts, as similar measures have prevailed in other states.

Press release details
Hospital of Central Connecticut Certified as Primary Stroke Center
New Britain [March 17 2009] -
A national healthcare quality organization has awarded The Hospital of Central Connecticut advanced certification as a Primary Stroke Center.
The Joint Commission for Primary Stroke Center certification means the hospital's stroke program follows national standards and guidelines that will significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients.
"With stroke, it's imperative to begin treatment as soon as possible to limit brain damage," said Kristen Hickey, HCC's Stroke Program coordinator. "This Primary Stroke Center designation means Central Connecticut residents have access to immediate, expert care, close to home."
The Hospital of Central Connecticut provides a variety of emergency stroke treatments at its New Britain General and Bradley Memorial campuses, including minimally invasive procedures to eliminate clots and clot-busting medications. Medications include tPA, a drug shown to significantly reduce long-term disability if given within three hours of the stroke.
The Joint Commission's certification is based on recommendations published by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association's statements/guidelines for stroke care. The Joint Commission awarded certification after conducting a thorough, two-day review of the Stroke Program in January.
The Hospital of Central Connecticut has also been designated a Primary Stroke Center by the Connecticut Department of Public Health. This dual certification recognizes the hospital's expertise and excellence in the care of stroke patients.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel becomes blocked by a clot or bursts, interrupting blood flow to the brain. Deprived of oxygen and nutrients, the brain begins to die, resulting in disability or death.
The American Stroke Association estimates that about 780,000 Americans annually suffer a new or recurrent stroke. Stroke kills more than 150,000 people a year, making it the No. 3 cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer.
HCC's Stroke Center treats patients who have had strokes and TIAs (transient ischemic attacks). TIAs produce stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage; about 20 percent of patients who have a TIA will have a stroke within a month.
The center also provides education for hospital inpatients and the community on preventing strokes by identifying risk factors, including smoking and conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart and artery disease, as well as age (people over 55 are at higher risk), family history of stroke, gender (strokes are more common among men) and prior stroke, heart attack or TIA.
In addition, the hospital's Stroke Center educates the community and hospital inpatients on identifying stroke symptoms, which include numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body); sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding; sudden trouble seeing; sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; and sudden severe headache with no known cause.
The Stroke Center also coordinates rehabilitation services for stroke patients; and works with community agencies and facilities to ensure continuity of care.
For information on stroke prevention and treatment, call the hospital's stroke coordinator, (860) 224-5900, X6764.
The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit agency that seeks to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations.

The Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) initiative nationally coordinates the design, collection, retention and analysis of critical scientific information spanning the Refuge System, enabling wildlife refuges to adapt their management and deal with rapid and large-scale environmental change.
Such an integrated approach applies the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's adaptive management strategy of Strategic Habitat Conservation to inventory and monitoring. Through internal collaboration and external partnerships, including working with Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), the I&M initiative works to assess the status and trends of refuge lands, waters, plants and wildlife , and support conservation objectives at local, regional and national levels.
The I&M initiative supports the refuge biology program through the development of Inventory and Monitoring Plans (IMPs) and rigorous scientific protocols. Regional I&M staff, including regional I&M coordinators, zone biologists and data managers, provide direct support to wildlife refuge and assist with development of IMPs.
IMPs document the prioritization and selection of surveys that assess both the status and trends of natural resources, and the effectiveness of conservation management actions. IMPs also document resource needs and capacity challenges. They can be easily revised to address shifts in priorities due to environmental change.
Click here to learn about current projects.
The Service's efficiency is increased when data and information are readily available to inform management decisions. The I&M initiative has created web-based tools to connect information modules rather than relying on stand-alone databases. This eliminates the need to enter the same information multiple times and enables the Service to recombine and, ultimately, serve the information in formats and combinations useful to the end-user. The I&M initiative's commitment to integrated systems means that methods and protocols for biological surveys conducted on refuges are properly and securely documented and linked, resulting in more collaboration through data sharing.
Three integrated I&M information modules, ServCat, PRIMR, and WRIA, are currently available to Service employees at https://ecos.fws.gov/. Collectively called IRIS, these integrated information modules support collaboration across disciplines and with other agencies, ensuring the Refuge System is a key contributor to the larger body of scientific knowledge:

Hi everybody,
What does it mean when they say "The stress falls with a regular beat."
Would you please give an example?
In the coursebook "Total English".
I can't understand it. Please help me with the idea of this sentence :"The stress falls with a regular beat."
We do need just a little more context.
"If I had left home earlier, I wouldn't have missed the train."
The book (of course my teacher) says the stressed words fall with a regular beat in the sentence.
I'm inclined to agree with your teacher. If I read that sentence out loud, I find that I (slightly) stress the words in bold:
If I had left home earlier, I wouldn't have missed the train.
As you can see, with the exception of "I had", the stress falls on alternate words giving what I would describe as a regular beat if I were to clap along with the rhythm of that sentence.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
It is fairly regular.
English has been described, not completely accurately, as a stress-timed language. It doesn't matter how many unstressed syllables there are; it takes approximately the same length of time to say each group of them. Although the first sentence below has seven syllables, the second eleven, and the third fifteen, all three sentences take approximately the same amount of time to say, because all three have four stressed styllables:
John and Dawn have lived in France.
Peter and Mary are living in Poland.
Christopher and his father have been living in Austria.

Time is money, and James Dyson has proven he's willing to spend both in search of product design breakthroughs. The British inventor famously spent years perfecting his Dyson Vacuum through the '70s and '80s, and has since invested a considerable amount in R&D; since 1999 the company has quietly spent more than US $160 million researching digital motors alone.
That motor research has yielded fruit, as the company is now able to produce digitally-controlled motors so small and absurdly powerful—their V4 motor, which powers the Dyson Airblade, lives in a housing just 85mm wide yet can go from 0–92,000rpm in less than 0.7 seconds—that they've invested $79 million in a new hi-tech motor manufacturing facility in Singapore.
While Dyson has already been producing their own motors for ten years there, they'd done it in partnership with a local firm, something like what Apple does with Foxconn. By opening their own facility they're not only doubling their capacity, they're gaining the ability to produce in absolute privacy.
This suggests one of two things. The first is that the Airblade market has suddenly doubled, justifying the investment. But the second, more likely scenario is that Dyson will be expanding their product design portfolio, harnessing these super-powerful, super-tiny motors to more applications.
What might those applications be? A Dyson engineer we corresponded with was mum on whatever future products the company might be planning. You'll have to read between the lines here:
Increased power density of the Dyson Digital Motors offers the ability to install these motors into places traditional [brushless DC] motors cannot. The high speed operation allows for fast dynamic performance giving the user speedy response....[Our] developments in motor technology offer enormous potential to make machines that are smaller and more effective.... But I can reveal that this investment in Singapore will allow us more control over production processes, so we have room to grow - ramping up production as we need to.
Okay readers, any guesses? I for one would love to see Dyson move big-time into power tools. With their existing expertise in dust collection and their super-powerful motors, I'd bet they could make even Festool sweat.
