Ahead of this weekends European Grand Prix, Spykers Adrian Sutil reveals his expectations for his home event and explains why hes hoping for rain at the Nurburgring
Q: Your first proper drive in a Formula One car was at the Nurburgring last year. How excited are you to be back for your first home race?
Adrian Sutil: Like you said, it was the first Friday last year, and I have good memories. The track is very nice, its very special, its a track with a lot of history and I like the area all around it. Its a little bit like Spa, and one of my favourites. Its my first real home Grand Prix as an F1 driver. Im really looking forward to seeing some fans for me. I think there will be some support. Im not a real frontrunner at the moment, so more fans will be there for Ralf (Schumacher) or Heidfeld maybe, but I think there should be some of mine as well!
Q: You mentioned Spa. How was the test last week?
AS: It was very nice, I enjoyed it. I was there in F3 in 2005 and even with those cars the track was so good, and now in an F1 car its crazy. Its the best circuit I think in the calendar, really. Its a great place, and Im really looking forward to the race in September.
Q: You did a very quick time on a day that was spoiled by rain. Were you happy with that?
AS: The time was in completely dry conditions in the morning, and everybody did their times in the dry. So I was quite happy with this time in the dry conditions, the gap to the front was not that big, so it was really good. In the wet it was even better, we were doing the same times as Ferrari and McLaren. Sometimes it was a little bit better conditions, sometimes a little bit worse. I think in the rain we showed our potential.
Q: The car seems to be more competitive in the races than in qualifying. Is that how you see it?
AS: In qualifying we always have problems being a little bit more competitive. Our strength is more in the races, were closer to the field then. I think its just a problem from the downforce and the tyres. We cant really get a lot of grip out of the tyres because our car is not pressing enough onto the ground - the other cars have maybe 200 kilogrammes more downforce, and theyre just using the tyres more, and then you get a little bit more out in the qualifying. I think this is also the reason why were a little bit stronger in the race, because we save the tyres.
Q: Its not easy to make an impression when youre near the back. What do you think were your best races this year?
AS: I think the most competitive race was Indianapolis, in my opinion. I think it was the best one. Its always quite hard to say if its a good race or not for the people outside, everybody thinks its terrible, if youre always last, but we have to see our possibilities with the car. We must be realistic, I know what is possible with the car. Indianapolis was such a race, we could really race the other cars, and we were very close to them. Thats why I say it was a really good race. We were really fighting with Toro Rosso, the Aguris, and on first lap also with a Williams. Also the times in the middle stint and the last stint were competitive to the midfield, so this was absolutely unique.
Q: You had accidents in Monaco and Montreal. Were they the most frustrating part of the season so far?
AS: For sure this was frustrating, absolutely, but I would say the Monaco weekend was one of the most successful weekends for us, mainly in the free practice session on Saturday. There was a good thing and a bad thing! In the end I was frustrated about the race, because the race is the most important, but it was not terrible. My feelings were mixed.
Q: How disappointing was the last race at Silverstone?
AS: I did 17 laps and had an engine blow-up. It was a shame, because it was too early! It could have been a good race. We were following Davidson and Button, and the gap was staying the same, so for us the situation was not too bad. I guess the soft-tyre run would have been much, much better.
Q: The B-spec car is coming for Turkey. Are you confident that it will be better?
AS: Yes, I think it will be different. The guys are absolutely convinced that the car is better, the wind tunnel shows us how big the difference is. I trust them, and I think well make a little step forward. Normally if the car is good, it should be fast straight away.

Residents of Cumberland and York Qualify for Storm Aid May 9, 200712:00 PM AUGUSTA – Governor John Baldacci learned today the residents of York and Cumberland counties who were affected by the Patriots' Day Storm can qualify for direct federal assistance. "For families and businesses in York and Cumberland counties that were hurt by the Patriots' Day Storm, this is great news," Governor Baldacci said. "It means that people can get federal help for damage that isn't covered by their insurance. This will make a real difference as they work to recover from the storm." Individuals can begin the application process by calling 1-800-621-3362; 1-800-462-7585 (TTY). Individuals can also register at http://www.fema.gov Twelve counties in Maine have qualified for federal assistance to make repairs to public property, such as roads and bridges. To date, only York and Cumberland counties have qualified for individual assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The federal assistance may be used for temporary housing, repairs and for disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance or other assistance programs. FEMA assistance does not typically cover the entire cost to repair storm damage. For people with insurance, the aid may help pay for basic needs not covered by insurance. FEMA's assistance for public transportation expenses, medical and dental expenses, and funeral and burial expenses do not require individuals to apply for an SBA loan. However, an applicant must complete an SBA loan application to be eligible for assistance that covers real estate, business losses, personal property, vehicle repair or replacement, and moving and storage expenses. "It's important for people to apply for assistance even if they have insurance claims pending," Governor Baldacci said. "The only way to know for sure if they qualify for assistance is to apply." Officials also note that residents who have called their local emergency management or the Red Cross will now need to call FEMA or apply online to apply for federal disaster assistance.

If you read the tech news, you'll see a number of headlines about Apple considering an acquisition of The Fancy.
This site has a particularly interesting marketplace business that I haven't seen covered in the press… but if you Google "buy button" and scope it to "thefancy.com" you'll see some interesting results. Namely: comment after comment from users stating that the item they wind up buying is not the one pictured (and this is just from searching "buy button" – there are undoubtedly many forms this complaint could take.)
The model goes something like this:
- Someone posts something they like (they "fancy")
- Other users are given the option to offer it for sale.
- If accepted, the product appears for sale, complete with an "Add to Cart" button.
It's a simple system. The problem is, the item that you're buying isn't always the item that's pictured. The Fancy knows this, based on the small wording at the top (red underline added by me):
But, overall it's presented as if you're buying what's pictured – and people do.
This particular example is no longer marked as buyable on The Fancy site, but I clicked through a few of the results of the previous Google search, and several of them still are.
Full disclosure: I work in the social shopping space. But, we have never really explored this model.

The Circus Bizurkus, which will be performing in Dickleburgh at the end of February.
Dominic Bareham
Thursday, January 31, 2013
The circus will be coming to a village at the end of February when the Circus Bizurkus performs at Dickleburgh and Rushall Village Hall.
The show will focus on Cosmo the ringmaster and Bert, his trusty ring hand, who are forced to attempt many of the acts performed by the rest of the troupe who are believed to be lost on the tour bus near Arbroath.
There will be circus skills and audience participation and the foolhardy characters are a Laurel-and-Hardy-esque duo performing in a cartoon-like landscape.
The event will be held at the hall on February 20 at 7pm.

Spice It Up!
Buñuelos are a commonly enjoyed sweet snack in Mexico, Latin America and Spain. In Mexico, they are made from a yeasted dough, but in other countries including Cuba, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, where this recipe is from, they are made from tubers as well.
1 pound of yuca (cassava)
1 egg
2 tablespoons of butter
2 cinammon sticks
1½ pounds of sugar for syrup
vegetable oil for frying
vanilla (for syrup, optional)
1 cup of water (for syrup)
milk for the yuca masa
1. Make a simple syrup with sugar, water and cinnamon.
2. Boil the yuca with a bit of salt. Let yuca cool and grind in a meat grinder or mash with a fork.
3. Add the remaining ingredients: the butter and 3 or 4 tablespoons of syrup. Work the yuca into small balls and fry them in hot oil. Dry on paper towels and dunk into remaining syrup.
* Remember to use fresh yuca. Don't use old yuca. Remove the fibers inside the heart of the root before grinding or mashing. Do not boil excessively, only till tender. Remember to add salt after the yuca is tender; at this point add some cold water. Do not let the yuca remain in the water it was boiled in. This recipe works also for malanga (also called yautía) or ñame root as well. You can also use piloncillo to make the hot sugar cane syrup.
¡Buen Provecho!

Dinner Diary Home Friday Bake-Off: Easy Peach "Cobbler" I put quotes around the cobbler part of this title because it's never quite turned out like a cobbler for me. In theory, the batter is supposed to rise up on top of the peaches during baking, making a cobbler-like dish. I think we used too many Salmon Salad Sandwich When cans of salmon are on sale, I usually pick up a couple, because salmon salad, bound with mayonnaise and full of crunchy celery, is the food of my childhood (plus, it's a no-cook meal).

All Critics (137) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (63) | Rotten (74) | DVD (5)
Jones's efforts to re-tool the Italian original for an American audience prove disappointing. The comedy is broader, the dramatic crises have been sweetened and the ending has an uplift that was entirely missing from the original.
66 year-old Robert De Niro accomplishes what may be his bravest role of the last two decades by simply choosing to play a real old man in Kirk Jones? Everybody?s Fine.
What makes the unabashedly sentimental package work a lot better than it should is Robert De Niro.
...an unapologetically sentimental drama...
A recently widowed retiree embarks on a cross-country journey to visit each of his children, expecting to find them as happy and successful as their stories painted them.
A film with a few inspired moments - mostly towards the end - sprinkled in with a whole lot of awkward, even mean, portions. The result is a major disappointment.
De Niro does quietly affecting work, but he can�(TM)t elevate a pat Family Rediscovering Each Other drama into anything much above afternoon TV movie fodder.
Forget Hollywood remakes; this is one film I�(TM)d like to see reworked by an arthouse director and a pack of actors with smaller names and bigger reserves of subtlety.
It�(TM)s a little like About Schmidt minus the sly wit, subtlety and directorial flair.
A refreshingly open, untricksy performance from De Niro, and very possibly the harbinger of an excellent late period for him as an actor. As for the film, well "fine" is what can reasonably be said.
Its essential niceness should not be discounted; niceness is a rare commodity in films today.
It�(TM)s a four-square set-up, but with only the barest flicker of familial friction heating the undercooked drama.
Everybody's Fine has tearjerker ambitions but it's so shamefully manipulative that by the time it reaches its finale you can't help but feel like you've been beaten over the head with a feel good stick.
Despite the title, nobody in this film is fine. But, if you�(TM)re in the mood for a well-acted drama that will strum obstinately at those heartstrings, you�(TM)ve got it.
Crisply shot and framed with care, it�(TM)s certainly easy on the eye. But a script that didn�(TM)t take life so seriously would have left everybody feeling a lot finer.
A low-key family drama that leaves no clich� safe in its quest to make everyone weep buckets. The best to hope for is that it may persuade you to reconnect with your own family. Aah.
De Niro is not at his best playing nice - in fact, he's boring and so is the film. Actually, it's worse than that. It's pseudoredemptive tosh.
Robert De Niro's latest would-be weepy, Everybody's Fine, may remind you of About Schmidt's less-interesting brother. In fact, the title says it all - it's neither good nor bad, just deeply OK.
Disappointment that it isn't what a De Niro movie used to be - powerful, challenging and edgy. Now his movies are weak and clich�d with a mushy centre.
De Niro alone is worth watching, even if one suspects the pain on his face comes from the script he must speak rather than the story he must enact.
Audience Reviews for Everybody's Fine
A decent and heartfelt drama that refrains from being too heavy handed. I'd like to see the original but I hadn't heard of it until now. DeNiro does a decent job but is let down ever so slightly by a lethargic supporting cast. The scenes with his children as children is very strong though and I did like the conclusion very much. With some fine tuning this could have been a contender but as it is it's just good. Awful poster though.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Amy: I tell you the good news and spare you the bad. Isn't that what mom used to do for you when we were kids?�
"Frank's traveling light, but carrying excess baggage."
Everybody's Fine is a small, heartfelt, and overall decent film. It has a wonderful cast including legendary Robert De Niro, plus a supporting cast with Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore, and the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale. This is a good role for an older De Niro. He no longer fits the Travis Bickel like characters. He is now more suited for this type of a role. He plays a grieving father who has just lost his wife. His four kids all cancel their trip to see him, so he decides to take a cross country trip and see all of them. In the background, three of the kids are keeping a secret about the fourth from their father.�
I liked Everybody's Fine, but I'm not gonna blow sunshine up its ass. It is by no means a terrific movie. It's predictable filmmaking. I called just about everything that happened in the movie fifteen minutes before it happened. But oh well; the point wasn't to surprise me. I enjoyed the movie for it's honesty when examining the life of a family. A lot of the subjects the movie brings up regarding family will hit home with just about every viewer. We always, as kids, had one parent we could talk to. The other was kind of left out of the loop because either they couldn't take what was actually going on, or they would over react. Frank is the parent who was always left out of the loop. His kids, after the passing of their mother, still don't tell him the bad things because he is a worrier. �
There's really not too much to say about Everybody's Fine, except that it was fine. There's nothing too spectacular going on here, but I ended up finding it engaging and emotional. I don't think it laid on the tearjerking too thick either, which was much appreciated. It's just a decent little film in its own right. I'd suggest it, but I also wouldn't tell you that it is vital that you watch it. If you come across it one day in the future, give it a look. If not, you'll live. Still I don't know if you could find a movie where Kate Beckinsale looks hotter. She looks absolutely stunning in Everybody's Fine.

Well what a fantastic cast, the brilliance of Barrymore and Rockwell, the fantastic and gorgeous Beckinsale and the Awesomeness of De Niro :)
Its a wonderful cast, with a wonderfully sweet and touching storyline, and with this great cast and storyline i was shock that this movie didnt have more publicity which is disappointing.
A fantastic cast, wonderfully acted and just a lovely and sweet movie to watch.
Really worth a watch!

It has now seemingly reached the time where one of our greatest screen actors is no longer able to command certain roles. Occasionally though, an older, more mature role will surface which can still give a reminder of their talents. This is that role serving Robert DeNiro.
Recently widowed, retired wire factory worker Frank Goode (DeNiro) realises all the contact he had with his four children was organised by his wife. When they all opt out of his planned family reunion, Frank takes it on himself to embark on a road trip to see his kids. As he does, he discovers they have been keeping secrets from him.
First off, this is a remake of the 1990 Italian film with Marcello Mastroianni, and as far as these types of films go, it's nothing new. It's actually quite lightweight material and given the subject you'd be forgiven for expecting a bit more of a punch behind it. It doesn't wholeheartedly deliver the power it should. What it does do however, is achieve in giving DeNiro center stage. It's great to see him being the main attraction again and a real pleasure to spend time with him when he's not playing second fiddle to anyone. There has always been something personal about watching DeNiro act. His ticks; his smile; his grimace and his lack of eye-contact. They are all here but what's most refreshing is seeing him play the role of a retired older man in his twilight years. Now accepting his age. Over the years DeNiro has delivered so many eclectic characters that most movie goers will have identified with at least one of them along the way. This is another fine performance and ultimately, he's the highlight of the film. The supporting actors are good but are given very little to work with and the likes of Sam Rockwell would have chewed up a meatier role. Sadly he's not provided with it. There are some lovely moments peppered throughout, as well as some pathos, but it doesn't quite rise above anything more than a 'likeable' status.
A poignant little family drama that has a nice feel for time and benefits from a strong performance by DeNiro as the heart and soul. It just doesn't offer anything original.

ramp pizza
It probably goes without saying — but I will say it anyway; this is an internet weblog, after all — that a whole lot of the food I cook at home doesn't make it onto this site. I like to use this space to talk about aspirational cooking — things that have fascinated me because they were different or better or even easier than I'd expected to make. At the very least, I hope they'll have a good story to tell or get someone else as excited to cook as I was. The work-a-day cooking (pizza, lazy meatballs, oatmeal) that fills out our weeks is hardly noteworthy stuff.
I also prefer to avoid gushing about ingredients most people don't have access to. No, I don't mean truffles or anything so fancy — I'm not secretly flavoring my pasta water with fistfuls of the Himalayan pink salt I eschew elsewhere — I just mean something that especially short-seasoned and regional and it feels little will be gained by crowing about a dish that 95% of people can't make.

Alternatives buying and selling in 332 BC
The very first account of options was in Aristotle's e-book Politics, revealed in 332 BC.
Aristotle wrote of the astronomer, philosopher and mathematician Thales from Miletus, who utilized the stars and weather conditions designs to forecast the following year's olive harvest. Predicting options trading an abundant harvest, and understanding that a significant harvest would consequence in olive presses currently being in higher desire, Thales knew he would make a major revenue if he owned all the olive presses in the location. Sad to say, he did not have the funds options trading to acquire all the olive presses in the region.
Instead, he paid a deposit to safe the use of all the region's olive presses - or he purchased a get in touch with alternative on olive presses as the underlying asset. This gave Thales the fx trading correct, but not the obligation, to use these olive presses at harvest time, or to promote the options onto other folks to make a profit. This also secured revenue for the proprietors of the olive presses, as Thales had to pay a automated trading deposit for their use irregardless of how big the harvest was.
As predicted, the harvest was considerable and Thales was in a position to promote on the rights to use all of the olive presses to people who required them, generating a profit as desire outgrew day trading supply.
Tulip mania of 1636
Tulips were imported into Holland from Turkey, creating Holland a symbol of affluence and elegance in the 17th century. Because of to their colors and the simple fact that it took 7 a long time to develop them, Tulips grew to become incredibly popular.
With tulip trade rush charges climbing day-to-day, Dutch dealers started investing tulip bulb alternatives so that producers could personal the rights to shopping for tulip bulbs at a predetermined value - tulip get in touch with selections. They began employing options to hedge the threat of more value boosts, but market trading this quickly turned into a speculative frenzy. Selling prices skyrocketed among the conclusion of 1636 to February 1637, right up until tulip bulbs have been advertising for about ten occasions the annual earnings of competent craftsmen.
In February of 1637 the bubble burst, and inside months tulips ended up forex trading marketing for a hundredth of their peak selling prices, generating everyone's tulip selections worthless.
Alternatives trading in London - 18th and nineteenth hundreds of years
Place and phone selections first turned well-identified trading instruments in the 1690s in London, when they had been granted an organised commodity market. However, investment was lower as investors feared the speculative nature of selections, resulting in so considerably opposition that choices trading was declared illegal in 1733.
Alternatives buying and selling in London was illegal until finally 1860.
Choices trading in the US - 1872
Russell Sage penny stocks introduced calls and privileges (set alternatives) to Wall Road in 1872. These selections ended up above-the-counter and were supplied by specialised sellers. Their training selling price was fixed at a rounded-off marketplace value on the day or week that the alternative was purchased, stock trading software and the expiry date was generally about three months following invest in.
The pricing technique was dependent on what sellers imagined was affordable, resulting in an inefficient possibilities marketplace. Selections ongoing to trade in an unregulated manner until finally 1973.
Possibilities investing in the 20th century
In forex signals 1973 the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOE) and the Possibilities Clearing Corporation (OCC) were designed, resulting in the standardisation of publicly-traded stock alternatives. This was the very first time that the standard public was able to trade call selections beneath the OCC's efficiency online trading guarantees, and is still how trade-traded selections are traded right now. In 1977, the CBOE introduced place possibilities to the market place as very well.
Contemporary employs of selections
In present day times, alternatives are accessible in our every day lives, as very well as in the forex news options market. In true estate, phone alternatives are used to assemble massive parcels of land from separate owners, typically if a developer needs to build a number of adjacent plots.
In the movie sector, producers can purchase the correct to dramatise a e book forex software or script, but they do not have the obligation.
In banking, credit score cards give proprietors the correct, but not the obligation, to borrow a sure total of cash around a sure time period, though home loan holders have the option to pay back their loans early.

On the eve of the couple's first anniversary, Jennifer and Justin tell friends they're ready to start a family! But could Jennifer already be pregnant?
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux told friends they want marriage and a baby by the end of 2012, but insiders say the couple might already be expecting, according to Life & Style! Hollywood is buzzing about Jen's attempts to cover a suspicious-looking bump as she left the Greenwich Hotel in NYC on March 10, and onlookers say she the vodka-loving star also avoided alcohol during Oscar festivities. "Industry people in Hollywood kept talking about how she looked pregnant," a fellow partygoer observes.
"I saw Jen Oscar week, and she couldn't stop smiling," another Oscar insider reveals. "She was actually less lean and less muscular than I had expected her to be — her body looked softer. In the dress she wore, it really did look like she had a baby bump!"
The 43-year-old admitted to friends recently that she wants to marry Justin by the end of the year, and pals say the puppy she adopted with Justin, 40, is a test-run for kids!
"People honestly just want to see me as a mom and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen," Jen says. "And I just want to say, 'Everybody, relax! It's going to happen."
After a whirlwind romance, Jennifer is positive that Justin's the one. "Jen feels like her dreams have come true," a friend reveals. "She feels like she finally has someone in her corner. They're definitely ready for the next step."
Jen's so ready for a family, she's even met with ob-gyn Dr. Robert Katz in Beverly Hills to see how fertile she is and to check her hormone levels.
As she reaches her mid-40s, the time for a baby is now. And the couple is ready to do whatever it takes to prepare for a newcomer, including moving from Justin's beloved NYC to a more spacious LA pad.
"I've always wanted to have children," Jennifer has said. "I want to have it all."

Google Drive Is Fine and That Doesn't Matter
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- I guess you could call me The Digital Skeptic. (You'll have to imagine the trademark symbol after that.)
See, during the valuation hype surrounding digital darlings such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, I thought maybe -- just maybe -- someone should be wondering aloud if this whole digital economy thing is not going to pay off.
No matter how clever Google Drive is, when you take a look at the market you'll see a flood of competition will likely strip it of any real value. |
So I took a flyer and trademarked the term "The Digital Skeptic." It's as good a phrase as I could think of to describe my dim view of the prospects of the digital age. And I sat back and waited for something that called out for a skeptic's view.
Sure enough, this nutty digital age has served up a singularly bizarre business idea: Google (GOOG) Drive, the search giant's online file sharing and syncing tool, which debuted earlier this week.
I have spent the past few days testing this service -- you get 5 GB free, and 25 GB costs $30 a year -- that enables sharing and updating of files, photos and other digital information across PCs, Macs and many mobile devices. I have also surveyed the syncing and sharing competition and compared their features. What's the best way to describe Google Drive? "Just like the Loch Ness monster," was the way Sundar Pichai, senior vice president for Chrome and Apps at Google, introduced the service in the company's official blog. Pichai, of course, was referring to the fact that Google Drive has been rumored for years but hadn't yet actually surfaced in techland. Certainly Pachai was joking, but to me, the metaphor is dead on: Google has jumped into a market so flooded with options that it is essentially in no market at all. Makes the Loch Ness monster look logicalI understand why Google felt it had to have some sort of syncing and storage business: Heaven knows how, but storage and syncing have become sexy. Market leader -- and soon-to-be IPO darling -- San Francisco-based Dropbox has been openly taunting Mountain View, Calif.-based Google since back in 2011. It raised a serious war chest of $257.2 million from A-list investors such as Benchmark Capital, Goldman Sachs (GS) and Greylock Partners. That kind of cash, in turn, legitimized a flurry of other syncing and storage wannabes: SugarSync, Box, Wuala and SpiderOak. Tech blue chips followed. Microsoft (MSFT) tweaked its online storage offerings, based around SkyDrive, by adding something called Windows Live Mesh. And of course, there's Apple (AAPL), which just cannot stop hyping its iCloud content-sharing tool.

Founded in 2000, the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) is a non-profit, non-partisan umbrella organization engaged with its members in promoting the preservation of the built, cultural and natural heritage of Quebec.
QAHN aims to promote a greater understanding of the history of Quebec's English-speaking communities by informing, inspiring and connecting people through its activities. Membership is open to any organization or individual, regardless of language or cultural affiliation, with an interest in the history, heritage and culture of Quebec's English-speaking communities.
As a network, QAHN encourages cooperation and communication among members. QAHN assists member societies and organizations in obtaining resources and related services for their activities and facilities.
Members include organizations such as museums, historical societies, foundations, community and research groups, archives and libraries, as well as individuals interested in Anglophone heritage in Quebec. Currently, in addition to several hundred individual members across Quebec and Canada, nearly 90 organizations in Quebec hold either core or affiliate membership in QAHN. A number of our member-organizations are primarily French-speaking.
Anglophone Heritage:
Many Quebecers have links to Anglophone heritage even though they see themselves as having some other linguistic or cultural attachment. There are also many communities in Quebec that communicate in English but whose members do not come from what are traditionally thought of as English-speaking countries. QAHN does not focus exclusively on the heritage of the British Isles, but on all groups that expresses themselves in English.
Similarly, there are many instances where Anglophone heritage is being preserved by members of Quebec's French-speaking community. QAHN, therefore, speaks of Anglophone heritage as a field of interest. QAHN is non-political and totally inclusive. QAHN's concern is with the preservation of the English-speaking community's heritage, not with language.

Current Time
Austria 1010
Tel: 43 1 22 1 22
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
This majestic 68-room hotel on the Ringstrasse offers a more casual air than neighboring grande dames. There's no pseudo-Hapsburg decadence, gold faucets, or red velvet behind the nineteenth-century facade: The decor throughout is uncluttered, with easy-on-the-eyes browns and creams, while color-coordinated prints hang instead of oil paintings, toning down the opulence. Rooms come with original moldings and a Nespresso machine. The seasonal food at At Eight, the restaurant, is inventive and mouthwatering, diminished only by a dining room with somewhat bland furnishings. Impeccable service adds the finishing touch of personal luxury, and the less formal look doesn't take away from the five-star quality of the residence, which is a welcome, less expensive alternative to the usual Imperial- or Art Deco–style hotel.
2008 Hot ListWhen to go: May through September for coffeehouse culture and walks through Vienna's many parks, November through January for punch stands and romance.
Which room to book: An X-Ordinary room on the fifth floor with a view of the Ringstrasse and the Staatsoper, or the exclusive Ring Suite, which can be reached only by paternoster lift.

headspinning headache.
i really just want to go to class and use male pronouns and be eli. i just cant fucking stand being a girl.
i talked to my prof today and was going to ask if she could use male pronouns for me but i didnt sound so sure when i said it so i think it didnt realy get my point across.
and then at one point i asked if hypothetically, if i wanted to and was ready for an informal name and pronoun change for class, if that'd be ok. i think she said yes. at least im pretty sure of that.
anyway, need to figure out how to definitely say thats what i want. i keep sitting to talk with her and then i cant make eye contact, i hush my voice, speak in a higher pitch and pretend like it doesnt matter what name and pronouns people use for me.
im lying because it is burning inside of me.
i feel like even if its just this one class and it will be ending in like a month, i want a refuge from the constant acting im doing. i want to be called eli and he.
how do i say this?
email or talk to her in person again?
i cant chicken out. sure im nervous. but if people dont like it, fuck them. i dont know if the prof supports me or not. i dont know why that bothers me so much or even matters to me but it does.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT. <3 i'll be eternally grateful.
I'd suggest emailing her. That way you can word things as you want to, and you can come across more confident than maybe you could in person. That could also get you in the practice of writing it out to a professor if you wanted to start classes next semester using mail pronouns.
:) that's really smart. im going to hopefully start drafting an email today and then maybe i'll post it here for people to leave comments/questions / suggestions?
:) and thank you so much. eternall y grateful.
youre awesome <3

Partnership teacher education – in which schools work with universities and colleges to train teachers – works and there is abundant existing evidence in support of this fact. But our small-scale study across England and Scotland shows that it is the higher education tutor who seems to make it work, often at the cost of research-informed teaching and research. The most time-intensive activity for the higher education tutors in our sample was maintaining relationships with schools and between schools and individual trainee teachers. The need to maintain relationships to such a degree is caused in part by the creation of a marketplace of 'providers' of teacher education who compete for funding on the basis of inspection and quality assurance data and also by the very early school placements that characterise the English model of initial teacher education in comparison to other European models such as that of Finland.

14-bis | |
Role | Experimental aircraft |
Manufacturer | Alberto Santos-Dumont |
Designer | Alberto Santos-Dumont |
First flight | September 7, 1906 |
Number built | 1 |
The 14-bis (Quatorze-bis), also known as Oiseau de proie ("bird of prey" in French)[citation needed], was a pioneer era canard biplane designed and built by Brazilian engineer Alberto Santos-Dumont. On 23 October 1906, in Paris, France, it performed the first officially witnessed unaided takeoff and flight by a heavier-than-air aircraft.[1]
In June 1905, Gabriel Voisin tested a glider by having it towed by a fast boat on the River Seine, making a flight of over 500 ft (150 m). The glider's wing and tail were made up of Hargrave cells, a box kite-like structure that provided a degree of inherent stability. This established the Hargrave cell as a configuration useful not only for kites but also for heavier-than-air aircraft.[2] Santos-Dumont was living in Paris at the time, and was one of the most active "aeronauts" in Europe, having developed a series of non-rigid airships that displayed unparalleled agility, speed, endurance, and ease of control.
In order to promote the development of heavier-than-air aviation in France, the Aéro-Club de France had offered several prizes for heavier-than-air flights in 1904, including the Coupe Ernest Archdeacon prize of a silver trophy and 1500 francs for the first flight of 25 m (82 ft) and another prize of 1500 frances for the first flight of 100 m (330 ft).[3]
Accordingly Santos-Dumont had a Hargrave-cell (box kite-like) biplane powered by an Antoinette engine built. The work was carried out in secret, known only to his team of mechanics and craftsmen. The wings, each made up of three cells, were at the back and configured with pronounced dihedral to make the aircraft laterally stable. The 18 kW (24 hp) Antoinette engine sat between the wings driving a pusher propeller, and the pilot stood in a balloon basket immediately forward. A movable boxkite-style cell at the nose, pivoted on a universal joint within it and controlled by cables was intended for yaw and pitch control. This layout would later come to be called a "canard configuration". It was constructed from bamboo and pine joined by aluminium sockets and was covered with Japanese silk.[4]
Operational history[edit]
Santos-Dumont then connected a 60 m (200 ft) long steel cable to the tops of two posts, one taller than the other, much like a zip-line or tyrolienne of today. The aircraft was hung from a rope attached to a pulley running along the cable. It was then pulled by a donkey until it rested by the taller pole, and then released and allowed to slide down the cable toward the lower pole. In this manner, the center of gravity of the aircraft was established and adjusted, and much was learned about its stability. Photographs of these tests show the vehicle being pulled up along the cable by a donkey back to the start position.
The aircraft was transported from Neuilly, where it was built, to the nearby Château de Bagatelle's grounds in the Bois de Boulogne, where it could be tested for its initial aerodynamic behavior. In order to simulate flight-like conditions, Santos-Dumont attached the aircraft under his latest non-rigid airship, the Number 14. Due to this, the aircraft came to be known as the "14-bis". The forces imposed by the aircraft pulled at the airship's envelope in dangerous ways, nearly tearing it and only allowing limited control. The danger of such tests caused Santos-Dumont and his team to quickly abandon them, although some useful information was obtained that led to adjustments in the balance and weight distribution of the aircraft.
The first free-flight trials of the 14bis took place at the Polo Ground in the Bois de Boulogne on 21 August, but was halted by damage to the propeller. After repairs it was tried again the following day: although it briefly lifted off it was evident that it lacked sufficient power, and the engine was replaced by a 50 hp (37 kW) Antoinette. Trials resumed on 4 September without great success, and on 7 September after the propeller was damaged a new larger one was fitted. On the 13 September 1906, the wheels left the ground for 4 m.[5]
Announcements were made about Santos-Dumont trying for all the aeronautics prizes. Crowds and Aéro-Club de France observers gathered on the morning of the 13 September 1906. Not all the cylinders were firing during a first takeoff attempt, but quick repairs allowed for a second run to result in a 13 m (43 ft) long flight, reaching an altitude of about 1 m (3 ft). This did not qualify for the prizes, but earned Santos-Dumont a great deal of attention.
The 14-bis landed at a high angle of attack, and the propeller struck the ground. Repairs were made. On the 23 October, after a series of engine tests and high-speed ground runs (one of which ended as one wheel came loose, but this was quickly fixed), Santos-Dumont finally pulled the 14-bis into the air. The aircraft flew for over 60 m (200 ft) at an altitude of about 3 m (10 ft). This earned Santos-Dumont the first of the aviation prizes, 3,000 francs for a flight of 25 m (82 ft) or more.
The aircraft required more repairs, as the landing had slightly damaged it, but even so Santos-Dumont announced that he should be ready to attempt the 100 meters prize on 12 November. The 14-bis was repaired, and octagonal ailerons were added to the middle of each outermost wing cell, somewhat similar to the aileron layout later used in the Curtiss Model D. Hinged about their center of gravity, the ailerons were actuated by cables attached to the shoulders of the pilot's flightsuit, somewhat like the seat-hinged "shoulder cradle" used on examples of the 1909-10 Curtiss Model D,[6] and the hip-movement wing-warping control on the Wright Flyer, but with the octagonal surfaces pivoting about an axis going across between the outermost forward struts, not the aft set near the trailing edge of the wings.
On the morning of 12 November 1906, the aviation community of France assembled at the Chateau de Bagatelle's grounds to witness Santos Dumont's next attempt. As Santos-Dumont allowed the 14-bis to run down the field, a car drove alongside, from which Henry Farman dropped a plate each time he observed the wheels of the aircraft leave the ground or touch down again. The first attempt saw a 5 second flight of about 40 m (130 ft) around 40 cm off the ground, and the second saw two brief flights of 40 and 50 m (160 ft). A hurried landing due to the proximity of some trees after this second attempt damaged the wheel axles, and these were fixed during a lunch break. In the afternoon, further flights were of 50 meters and then 82 m (269 ft) (achieving about 40 km/h), this one interrupted by the proximity of a polo barrier. As the sun set, Santos-Dumont attempted one more flight. In order to ensure he would not hit spectators, who by this time were present all over the field, he pulled up flying over them. After 22 seconds, he cut the engine power and glided into a landing. He had flown for 220 meters (over 700 ft), qualifying for the second aviation prize offered for heavier-than-air-aircraft, 1,000 francs for a flight of 100 meters or more. This was the last recorded flight of the aircraft.[7] The next notable Santos-Dumont flights were made in November 1907, flying his No. 19 Demoiselle[8]
14-bis vs. Wright Flyer[edit]
Some people, claim that the 14-bis rather than Wright Flyer was the first true airplane.[9]
For take-off the 1903 Wright Flyer used a launch rail and a wheeled dolly which was left on the ground. After 1903 the Wrights used a catapult to assist most takeoffs of their 1904 and 1905 airplanes. The Santos-Dumont 14-bis did not use a catapult and ran on wheels.
The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (F.A.I) ("International Federation of Aeronautics"), founded in France in 1905 to "regulate the sport of flying", keeping track of aviation records and other aeronautical activities in the Western world, stated among its rules that an aircraft should be able to take off under its own power in order to qualify for a record. Therefore, some claim the 14-bis must be considered the first operational fixed-wing aircraft. However the 1903 Wright Flyer made unassisted takeoffs and controlled, sustained, maneuvering flights nearly three years before Santos Dumont made his first takeoff, and the F.A.I. credit them with having made the first successful heavier-than-air flight.
Wilbur Wright wrote to Ferdinand Ferber saying:
We had already seen by the picture in the New York Herald that the plane rests on three wheels and we deduce from this that Mr. Santos Dumont, in order to effect his take-off, has first to make a run over a long level field. With the aid of the starting-off pillar that we use, Orville and I speedily go right up into the air in a much more practical fashion... We are sure to find a lot in our favor if we come to exhibit in France; but the voyage and the transportation of the machine and the pillar cost much more money than the two poor mechanics can afford to spend; also, dear Captain Ferber, if French experts, under your management, desire to come to Dayton, we will give them a demonstration of the machine in a neighboring field, flying for five minutes in a complete circle and let them have an option of the performance and release of the machine, for $50,000, cash down.[1]
Both aircraft made free, manned, powered flights. Authenticated written and photographic documentation by the Wrights shows that they made fixed-wing flights before Santos Dumont. Official records and motion picture documentation show that the 14-bis achieved unaided takeoff on wheels; Santos Dumont supporters claim that Flyer takeoffs were not unaided, although this is not the case with their first flights.

Colorado Court of Appeals dismisses lawsuits in Georgetown Cabin Creek power plant deaths
DENVER - The Colorado Court of Appeals has dismissed lawsuits against three companies tied to the deaths of five workers at a Colorado power plant in 2007.
In a ruling Thursday, the appeals court agreed with a judge that there was no evidence that the companies violated their duties or failed to provide adequate warnings of a fire hazard.
The workers died after a fire broke out inside a pipeline at Xcel Energy's Cabin Creek hydroelectric plant near Georgetown. The men were resealing the pipeline when a flammable solvent they were using to clean an epoxy paint sprayer ignited Oct. 2, 2007.
Killed were Donald Dejaynes, 43, Dupree Holt, 37, James St. Peters, 52, Gary Foster, 48, and Anthony Aguirre, 18, all of California.
Rescuers tried lowering air tanks to the trapped workers who were more than 1,000 feet into the tunnel, but the workers were overcome by smoke and fumes from the fire 2,000 feet below them in the 4-foot-wide tunnel.
Families of the victims and four injured employees sued KTA-Tator Inc., Structural Integrity Associates Inc., and Graco, Inc., claiming the companies were negligent. Those lawsuits were dismissed.
However, RPI Coatings Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., pleaded guilty in 2011 to five misdemeanor counts of workplace safety violations resulting in death. RPI agreed to pay $1.65 million in penalties and compensation, most of which was scheduled to go to the families of the victims.
In June 2011, a Denver jury found Xcel Energy Inc. not guilty of five counts of violating federal safety regulations, including not having a rescue plan.

Former federation of French dependencies, western Africa. It consisted of what are now the independent republics of Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. The capital was at Dakar. The federation was established in 1895 and dissolved 1958–59. By 1960 the former colonial territories had become independent republics.

French West Africa (Afrique occidentale française, AOF) was a federation of eight French colonial territories in Africa: Mauritania, Senegambia and Niger, French Sudan (now Mali), French Guinea (now Guinea), Côte d'Ivoire, Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) and Dahomey (now Benin).
Originally created in 1895 as a union of Senegal, French Sudan, French Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire only, the federation was placed on a permanent footing in 1904 with a governor-general based first in Saint-Louis, then (from 1902) in Dakar (both in Senegal, the oldest French settlement). The AOF subsequently expanded to neighbouring French-ruled territories: Dahomey was added in 1904, after having been put under colonial tutelage in 1892; Mauritania in 1920, and when the territory of Upper Volta was divided from French Soudan by colonial decree in 1921, it automatically also entered the AOF. Between 1934 and 1937, the League of Nations Mandate territory of French Togoland was subsumbed into Dahomey, and between its seizure from Germany in World War I and independence it was administered through the AOF. In 1904, both Mauritania and Niger were classed "Military Territories": ruled by the AOF in conjunction with officers of the French Colonial Forces.
Throughout the history of the AOF, individual colonies and military territories were reorganised numerous times, as was the Government General in Dakar. In theory the Governors General of the AOF reported directly to the Minister of Colonies in Paris, while individual colonies and territories reported only to Dakar.
The federation ceased to exist after the September 1958 referendum on the future French Community, in which the constituent territories voted to became autonomous republics except for Guinea, which voted overwhelmingly for independence. Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, Upper Volta and Dahomey subsequently formed the short-lived Sahel-Benin Union, later the Conseil de l'Entente. Governors General
With an area of some (mostly the desert or semi-desert interior of Mauritania, Sudan and Niger) extending from Africa's westernmost point to the depths of the Sahara, the federation contained more than ten million inhabitants at its creation, and some 25 million at its dissolution.

Found on the continental shelf and slope to depths over 1,000 m (Ref. 27121). Juveniles (to about 64 cm) feed on small crustaceans and small deep-sea fishes such as lanternfishes, whereas larger individuals feed chiefly on small hakes and jack mackerel (Ref. 1371); cannibalism is common (Ref. 27121). Migrates southward in the spring and northward in autumn (Ref. 1371). Breeds throughout the year, peaks of reproductive activity in August and September (Ref. 36731). Marketed smoked, frozen, and fresh on ice; eaten steamed, fried and baked (Ref. 9988). The South African Hake Trawl fishery of this species has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (http://www.msc.org/) as well-managed and sustainable (http://www.msc.org/html/content_1092.htm).

[Moved]Any way to reduce timeout interval for Network Access Manager?
Hi Experts, I am working on a download software, using NAM to donwload files. Things are working fine in most of the cases but when there is no internet connection (but LAN is working) It is taking almost ~40 seconds to TimeOut. I googled and find some suggestions where people are suggesting to use timer but is this the only solution? I am thinking if there is any way to change the timeout interval so that we can get notification quicker.
