While I think the artist did a great job with this shirt, doesn't it infringe on the IP rights of Hayao Miyazaki since they're all nearly identical to his drawings? How is this any different than a shirt with Mickey Mouse, Superman, or LOTR characters?

It's an awesome shirt, yes, but how the heck was this not rejected? O_o;
Glad to see this was such a big seller for Woot. Clearly extravagant prizes are the way forward. ;)

So I haven't bought a shirt from Woot in over a year. However, I saw this shirt on my daily tee tracker site and instantly wanted it. I still didn't buy it though, because I didn't really like San as Dorothy. But then Shirt.Woot sent me a coupon because I hadn't visited the site in a while, and I decided that I just had to get this shirt, as it is one of the best Studio Ghibli mashups I have come across.
A must for all Studio Ghibli fans!! Crying tears of joy upon receiving this in the mail today

A kidney transplant is a surgery to replace a diseased or damaged kidney with a donor kidney. The donor may be a relative or friend. The donor can also be someone who has died and donated the organs.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A kidney transplant is done to replace a kidney that is no longer working and cannot be fixed. It may also be done if the kidney has been removed. A kidney transplant is only needed if both kidneys are not working. Common causes of kidney failure include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
There is a shortage of donors. You may be on a transplant list for some time. You may need to carry a cell phone with you at all times. This will allow the transplant team to reach you if a kidney becomes available.
Your doctor will likely do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
An incision will be made in the lower abdomen. The donated kidney will be connected to your arteries, veins, and ureter, which is the tube that carries the urine to the bladder. In most cases, a diseased kidney will be left in place unless it is is causing problems or if room is needed for the transplant. The incision will be closed. The new kidney may start producing urine right away or within a short time.
You will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) and will have the following devices:
3-6 hours
You will have pain during the recovery process. Your doctor will give you pain medication.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-2 weeks. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have complications.

why do you want Radeons to drive a 8.9" screen? Intel IGP is powerful enough to do that, and current driver is better.
I'm looking for a netbook and I want:
*Radeon Mobility HD discrete GFX
*HDMI output
*10" screen
I know MSI do a Wind netbook with Radeon GFX and HDMI but AFAIK only with a 12" screen - 12" screen is creeping too much into notebook/laptop sized territory IMO.
I have read about the eeePC 1000Hv which does tick all my boxes but I cannot find one for sale in the UK, did it ever get a UK release? If not, is there anything else with these specs that is available here and now?
why do you want Radeons to drive a 8.9" screen? Intel IGP is powerful enough to do that, and current driver is better.
I don't think any 10" netbooks with discrete graphics exist.
If you want HDMI on 10" you are mostly limited to Intel GMA500/poulsbo, (eg. in Dell Mini 10, Nokia Booklet 3G) or some netbooks with NVidia ion chipset.
If you want AMD Graphics on 10", there is AFAIK only Kohjinsha Dual Screen DZ Series (2x 10.2", RS780MN) on sale. Depending on where you live though.
8.9"? I said ten inch and one of only three things I specified is that it must have HDMI output. Did you read my questions at all? Higher power consumption excepted, why would anyone NOT want discrete gfx on a netbook, especially if your wanting to play HD content?
Your evalution of the current situation is about right it seems. I've heard of kohjinsha but I don't think I'd seen their DZ series! I didn't know what to say when I saw it! Who wants dual-screen on a 'portable' device? Is this marketing/electronics gone mad? Somebody out there must've wanted dual screen on a portable or this is just a marketing ploy to get attention for KJS?
I've had a good look now an the nearest to what I'm looking for thats available is the Acer Ferrari - if that had HDMI out, same-res screen but 10.1" instead of 11.x"and in a smaller enclosure then you've got what I'm after essentially- a decent congo based netbook. There is also the eee PC 1201T but 12" screen so its more-like-a-laptop form factor time again. I think 10" is the sweetspot for netbooks- it turns notebook after that in my eyes and I'd like a good netbook to track the development of the foss ati drivers on
Last edited by danboid; 12-04-2009 at 02:59 AM.
My girlfriend is looking to buy a netbook now. She prefers Linux and so she was asking me for a recommendation and I would like to be able to point her towards a 10 or 11" netbook with VGA, HDMI and ATi graphics.
Any news on any such devices, anyone?
11.6" is still OK but I see it as an absolute upper bound before it becomes a notebook/ laptop.
What 11.6" netbooks with ATi IGPs are there now then? Is congo an IGP and how does Congo stack up to ION LE?
I'm looking forward to Michael comparing the perf. of the FOSS ATi drivers to fglrx and I would hope he includes an ATi IGP in his tests.
Thanks Deanjo!
Don't think I'd seen the Toshiba before and that seems to tick all my boxes but I can't find a UK retailer for it. Maybe its not been released in the UK yet or has a different name over here? The Ferrari is quite nice but no HDMI.
I'd also like to find out how noisy these things are. My dad bought a HP/Compaq Mini 311 and he's happy with it but I wouldn't put up with the fan which is like a mini hairdryer. Thats OK in desktops and servers and maybe beefy laptops but I do find it off-putting and 'wrong' in netbooks.
That's good to know! I didn't realize that the HP/Compaq Mini 311 is that loud. I was thinking of getting one myself. I like Toshiba products so I'll have to check them out a bit more before I make a decision. My latest purchase was one of those touch screens and I really like it because I think it's way superior to the mouse which is technology that was developed something like 30 years ago. I'll avoid the Mini 311 when I go shopping though. Thanks!

April Fools.I QUIT SMOKING!
April 1st, I celebrate my first year of not smoking. I have smoked longer than some of you have lived. This was the hardest thing that I can remember having to do.
Pubs and bars should have the option of whether their business is a No Smoking establishment, not the government!!!!
After burying two friends of mine, in a 13 month period as a result of smoking, I started to worry about leaving my three sons without a mother. Worse yet, Vanity took over and I could not imagine someone like myself, who has spent years taking serious care of her body and looks, being hooked up to oxygen and wheezing and hacking from emphysema.
A couple of years ago I asked my 18 year old, at the time, why so many of his friends smoke. His reply broke my heart. He said, "Because my friends think you are so cool and they want to be just like you!!!"
I still allow people to smoke around me and at my home. My husband smokes. I am proud to say that in the past year four 20 year olds, who visit our home, have kicked the habit.
I hope all adults can keep kids from lighting up………………….I never want to have to see another friend go through what my dear friends have gone through. The loss of a friend is so hard but burying the mother of a kid I helped raise was devastating .
This is a very touchy topic, I know…….I spent years having three sons beg me to quit.
To anyone who wishes to quit………Good Luck!!!!!! To those who have, please tell your story.
I saved almost $4,000 so far!!!!!!!
Reasons To Do Isometrics
People all over the world are using isometrics. The star Bruce Lee used isometrics for physical development. Some ways to use isometric exercises include pushing door frames and extending towels. By using isometric as an exercise, various muscles are relieved from tension for a period of time. A person should begin isometrics because it strengthens the joints and muscles.
Also isometric training can be used to increase a person's speed, power and agility. The muscle fiber's twitches are made increasingly quick. When a person uses it in their daily routine, the reactionary twitch of the muscles is done faster. Thus the person's speed and quickness is increased. The use of resistance bands is a great way to speed train, especially for a baseball, softball and track. The muscles have an opportunity to achieve a maximum force. Resistance in isometrics involves contraction of the muscles being used.
Before a person begins any exercise it is important to know what they will be involved in. Isometrics have been in existence for thousands of years. Isometric exercise has been used for static holds in yoga and Chinese martial arts. One of the people who brought isometric exercises to the local public was Charles Atlas. He used it in his training regimes. Today a lot of great bodybuilders use isometric exercise that is also incorporated into isotonic exercises. Isometric exercise is overall proven to be a great way to gain strength at the joint angles.
How You Can Help Eliminate Dental Mercury
Finally, with much effort coming from concerned parents, health consumers and experts…
The FDA has agreed to re-examine its pro-mercury fillings position, and to consider protecting those whose brains are still developing — children and the unborn.
However, Continued Vigilance is Still Needed to Ban Dental Mercury…
This is not the first time that the FDA has concealed the dangers of dental mercury on consumers, and if history does tend to repeat itself, then we are still at great risk of another cover up.
In 2008, the leading consumer protection attorney in the United States known as Charlie Brown filed a court case with respect to mercury,FDA posted stark warnings that amalgam can injure the developing brains of children and fetuses. In addition, the FDA's own website briefly stated:
"Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses."
Then in 2009, the FDA buried the warnings, placing them where they hoped parents wouldn't see them. That's right!!! The FDA with all its protective power pulled the warnings from its Web site, saying there would be no warnings to patients, not even young women and parents of young children, that the mercury from the amalgam fillings is a reproductive toxin and a neurotoxin.
Even worse, The FDA gave the amalgam industry a green light to sell and place amalgam without disclosing to consumers that the fillings are mainly mercury, even though the agency is aware of the industry's long-time deceptive practice of marketing amalgam as "silver fillings," when in reality they're composed of about 50 percent mercury.
So if any agency requires continued vigilance, it is the FDA.
How is Toxic Mercury Still Allowed in Modern-Day Dentistry?
Mercury amalgam fillings are primitive 19th-century devices, but they are still widely used in the United States where they're even endorsed by the American Dental Association.
It's an ironic fact that the metallic mercury used by dentists to manufacture dental amalgam is shipped as a hazardous material to the dental office. Any amalgam leftover is also treated as hazardous and requires special precautions to dispose of.
Yet you can have those same toxic fillings put directly into your mouth just by asking (and paying the price, of course)! But when you do, you're introducing mercury, a potent toxin that can damage your brain, central nervous system and kidneys, into your body.
Children and fetuses, whose brains are still developing, are most at risk, and that is why it's especially dangerous for pregnant women to get an amalgam … but really anyone can be impacted. Again, those most at risk include:
Pregnant and nursing women Children
People with already high levels of mercury bioburden
Those who are sensitive to mercury exposure
So why has the FDA been so reluctant to issue a ban, even after acknowledging the steep risks?
There is evidence that FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg's relationship with the nation's top amalgam seller, Henry Schein, may have played a role in this dismal result.
Dr. Hamburg served on the board of dental products colossus Henry Schein Inc., drawing an annual income of a quarter million dollars a year, according to the Wall Street Journal. In May 2009, when she took office as Commissioner, she was still holding Henry Schein stock options, which she did not cash until July, the month the amalgam rule issued. In fact, she was still holding Schein stock options until July 27, the day before the FDA rule was announced.
The FDA agreed that Margaret Hamburg had an ethical problem that led to her recusal, but neither she nor anyone else at the FDA would say what work she did on the rule or when she stopped working on it.
As it stands, the resulting rule was and is a bonanza for Henry Schein, who can sell amalgam to anyone and everyone without even disclosing that it is mainly mercury — but hopefully come December, that will all change.
The New FDA Hearing Could Change the Future of Mercury in Dentistry
Come December, the FDA will convene hearings before its Dental Products Panel to determine whether to stop amalgam use for children and pregnant women. The issue now is who will sit on this FDA panel that will determine the safety of dental mercury. FDA has a history of stacking the deck of its panels, so that the pro-industry staff position gets ratified.
They also have a history of ignoring their panelists' advice if it is not pro-industry. In fact, the FDA's 2009 ruling was in direct contradiction to the conclusions of their own 2006 Joint Panel of FDA scientific experts, as well as the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology Scientific Advisory Board members who reviewed the same papers.
The ruling was even contradictory to the FDA's own advisories that pregnant women should limit their intake of certain fish due to mercury content, even though, as IAOMT reported, mercury dental fillings contribute two to three times as much mercury to the human body than do dietary and environmental sources combined.
Come this December, the FDA panel will make a ruling that will make or break whether children and unborn children continue to be harmed by dental mercury … and you can still play a part in making sure it's a fair fight.
Voice Your Opinion: A FAIR, Unbiased Panel is Needed
I ask you to write Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, and ask that he convene a balanced panel — that he not pack it with dental school deans and others with ties to the pro-mercury American Dental Association.
If the FDA panel is to have any credibility whatsoever, Dr. Shuren needs all sides fairly represented on it.
This is incredibly important, as there is well-publicized corruption at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Last year, former Center for Devices Director Dan Schultz (part of the group that has given carte blanche to amalgam sales with no disclosure) resigned "by mutual agreement" with Dr. Hamburg, amidst complaints that he pressured staff to approve devices that they did not think were safe in order to benefit industry.
Now that the Center is under a new director, I recommend you write Dr. Shuren at firstname.lastname@example.com; ask him for a balanced dental products panel to review the FDA dental mercury rule — a humane panel of people dedicated to protecting children and unborn babies from exposure to toxic products.
Let him know that the public will not tolerate a panel biased in favor of the American Dental Association's pro-mercury position — not when our children's health is at stake.
For the last 10 years, Charlie Brown has been working tirelessly with the Consumers for Dental Choice to eliminate the use of mercury in U.S. dentistry. Now you, too, can join the fight, and many of you already have!
Because so many of you voiced your opposition and outrage at the FDA's 2009 ruling, the FDA Webview stated that:
"No final rule in FDA's modern history, or perhaps ever, has attracted this kind of organized opposition."
Grassroots activism is making a difference, and it will continue to do so because of dedicated readers like you! It nearly brings tears to my eyes to see that we can make a difference and start to save children and adults from brain damage by limiting their exposure to this toxic poison.
So let's keep the pressure on the FDA and not let them off the hook this time!
Please write Dr. Shuren at email@example.com and ask that he convene a balanced panel for this December's FDA amalgam hearing.

Dr. Daniel's Health Tips
1. If you have amalgram fillings, find a holistic dentist who can help you to safely remove them.
2. Look into the right kind of testing to determine if you have mercury poisoning. Note: A simple blood test or hair analysis will not do the trick. This topic is too complicated to discuss here.
3. Make sure that you are taking in plenty of Antioxidants to offset the effects of mercury poisoning.
Safety in F1 – The ever moving target
Recent events at Spa have once again bought into question the safety aspect of Formula One, with many asking for the FIA to look into the use of closed cockpits. This however may not only be a question of safety but one of perception. Formula 1 has always been about open wheel and cockpit racing but has the time come to look into the option of closed cockpits in order to safeguard the stars who drive these cars?
Perception is something F1 has to work hard at to keep the sponsors interested and so anything that may harm the show will always be given a large consideration anyway. In the case of Closed Cockpits I can see things from both sides of the argument but inevitably if the FIA mandate it's usage the fans, teams, drivers and sponsors alike will get used to it and F1 will continue to be the Formula it always has been.
Although fans are always looking to advocate safety in F1 they are also the first ones to jump up and down when circuits have mass run off area's instead of gravel traps or car's are designed with step noses even though it's because it's more aerodynamically efficient with the bulkhead needing to be higher for safety standards. Run off area's are not used simply because there is the space for them they are a more efficient way of dealing with a car that is off line or out of control. Gravel Traps still remain a real threat with cars that approach them sideways as the car will most likely roll over. Most fans see run off area's as a way of cars staying in a race but for me they a much safer alternative than gravel traps.
In 2011 the FIA institute tested 2 polycarbonate canopies in order to evaluate the effectiveness of deflection at high speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h6GHEEWR_U
Furthermore earlier this year the FIA institute tested a forward roll hoop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgHh4V0WYCs this ungainly looking device although effective at deflecting a forward projectile, would most certainly impair the driver's field of vision. It does however highlight the fact that the FIA are looking into measures to protect drivers further. The problem facing the FIA and TWG (Technical Working Group) is how far do you take head protection and how will it further impact other design aspects of the car?
- With enclosed cockpits there are other pitfalls:
- Driver extraction in a crash scenario
- Field of Vision being distorted
- Weather & Other Environmental Effects
- Circulation of fresh air into the cockpit
- Aerodynamic Influence
Many ask why not simply go for a halfway house and have an enlarged windscreen but these offer just the same complications seen with full cockpit enclosure and still leave part of the risk exposed.
The best halfway house interpretation I have seen was presented by Machin over on the www.F1Technical.net forum and uses both a carbon roll hoop and polycarbonate screen in order to deflect any debris/errant components. He goes on to explain that the canopy be hinged from the front of the cockpit when not in use but I'd go on to say that it could also be slid along the top of the bulkhead helping with extraction should the car end up overturned.
It could be argued that the largest risk to a driver's head is a wheel striking their helmet and so the other plausible solution would be to investigate a wheel shroud that vastly reduces the chances of a wheel detaching. This however massively detracts from the Formula of open wheel racing and I personally would find this a bitter pill to swallow. Also worth noting is that inertia should decrease when a tyre deflates (reduction in mass) and so I'm left wondering why wheel/tyres are not intrinsically designed to deflate the tyre should a wheel become detached. This would also lead to the wheel / tyres loosing energy quicker as they bounce around the circuit making them less liable to cause an incident.
The one thing that is apparent to me is that when an accident ensues in F1 the kinetic energy of the car almost always results in the car taking off. We see this all the time when drivers get it wrong over kerbs or in the worse case like Mark Webber in 2011 the car actually flips over. Until the FIA / TWG find a way to regulate ways of decreasing this I see no reason to further look into closed cockpits. It's like a buttered piece of toast will always land on the buttered side when dropped, an F1 car will always head skywards due to the engine weighting the rear of the car along with the aero being heavily attributed to the rear.
Due to the regulations cars flipping are now far less likely to end with a driver injury due to the geometry involved in height of the bulkhead and the airbox roll over bar which creates a buffer zone preventing a driver from their head being impacted. This has been seen to work on various occasions but none more drastically so than Robert Kubica's accident at Montreal in 2007.
One things for certain, things that seem controversial now will seem imperative in 20 years time just look at the HANS device, once looked at with disdain you wouldn't get a driver climbing aboard the car without one now. Safety in Motorsport is a multi faceted and complex scenario with cars, track design and even the drivers themselves always needing revision. When I think of safety in F1 it always brings to mind Jackie Stewart with a spanner taped to his steering wheel in case he got trapped in his car, knowing he needed to help himself as much as others did their job to help him.
To think that adding a canopy to F1 cars will make them safe is a fool hardy judgment and careful consideration and testing should be done before hastily adapting the cars. Afterall an accident cannot be planned for, otherwise it wouldn't be an accident. The variables are so large that all that can be done is for the sport to reduce the risk on team & track personnel.

Sebastian Vettel – The Funniest German
The German sense of humour is often treated as a punchline in itself. Lazy comedians fall back on the concept in the absence of a joke, and British audiences in particular like to laugh at our po-faced Teutonic neighbours.
And while films such as Go Trabi Go have begun to change the stereotype of the unfunny German, there is still a long way to go. While young Germans these days will have grown up with Monty Python's Flying Circus and all manner of American and British comedy imports, the German obsession with Dinner for One means the stereotype lives on.
Sebastian Vettel is – unwittingly – turning that stereotype on its head.
In addition to being one of the most talented drivers on the modern grid, Sebastian Vettel is a breath of fresh air in the paddock. As F1 has become ever more of a business and less of a sport, the drivers have been conforming to corporate expectations. Personalities are subdued, composed, and professional, and the vast majority of paddock quotes come in the form of carefully crafted PR-friendly statements.
Vettel is one of the few drivers who can be relied on for a laugh or two in press conferences, and whose responses are more natural than scripted.
Reacting to the Baby Schumi nickname given to him by German newspapers, Vettel said "Well, it's just a joke. I've asked my mum and Michael really isn't my father."
And his response on winning the rain-soaked 2008 Monza Grand Prix for Toro Rosso – a victory that made him the youngest winner in F1 history – has become the stuff of Formula 1 legend. Asked by a reporter whether the victory marked the best night of his life, Vettel replied "you obviously weren't there the night I lost my virginity".
According to his team profile on the Red Bull website, Sebastian has two ambitions in life: win the WDC and beat Kimi Raikkonen at badminton.
But there is a lot more to the young German than dry wit and a cheeky sense of humour. While Sebastian Vettel has yet to win the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship, the expectation is that it is only a matter of time. And if Red Bull have seen the last of the reliability gremlins that plagued the RB6 in the first two races of 2010, this could be Vettel's year.
So how did a 22-year-old become a future champion in only three full seasons in F1? Sebastian Vettel's path to circuit-racing stardom began in 1990, with the purchase of a child-sized kart. Three-year-old Vettel could hardly bear to be parted from the machine, and began skipping meals in order to spend more time behind the wheel.
That early dedication has served him well. Vettel's childhood was spent in karting; he began competing at the age of eight, and by 2001 was winning titles. In 2003, at the age of 15, Sebastian made the move into open-wheel racing. It was this transition that marked the start of Vettel's career as we know it today.
While much has been written about Lewis Hamilton and Nico Hulkenberg dominating junior formulae on the way into Formula 1, Vettel took a slightly different approach. Where Hamilton and Hulkenberg both served their time in GP2, Vettel got his start in Formula BMW (as did Hulkenberg), but then moved on to Formula 3 and Formula Renault, where he kept a foot in the door until Toro Rosso offered him a full-time drive mid-way through the 2007 F1 season.
Although unconventional, the approach has served him well. In 2004, Vettel dominated Germany's Formula BMW series, winning 18 out of 20 races, and appearing on the podium at every event. In 2005, racing against Hamilton in the Formula Three Euroseries, Vettel was the highest-scoring rookie, and came fifth overall.
Thanks to his domination of Formula BMW, Vettel scored two F1 tests in 2005 – one for the Williams team, in its final season using a BMW engine, and the other for BMW's newly purchased Sauber. The Sauber test resulted in a test role for the team towards the end of the 2006 season, but it was 2007 before the young German was able to make the move into Formula 1 full-time.
Vettel's first outing as an F1 driver was at the 2006 Turkish GP, when he took over Robert Kubica's test role when the Pole replaced the injured Jacques Villeneuve. And within seconds of getting behind the wheel, Sebastian Vettel was already making Formula 1 history. Nine seconds into his career, the young German was fined for speeding in the pitlane. No driver has yet managed to score a fine in less time, and it is a record that is likely to stand for some time to come.
The young German also scored the fastest time in Friday afternoon practice that weekend, raising eyebrows up and down the paddock. This was a driver to watch
In 2007 Vettel was balancing his testing commitments to BMW Sauber – now full-time – with a push for victory in the World Series by Renault. He was leading the championship when Toro Rosso offered him a full-time driver role, replacing Scott Speed.
Vettel took the seat, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Camp Pain
The start of the season is the time when many British GP fans will start discuss amongst themselves as to where they are going to stay when attending the British GP. The argument will be prolonged and eventually they will opt, as they always do, for camping. What could be more romantic than getting up at first light and wandering the few tens of miles to the circuit?
Those new to camping at the British GP might benefit from the experiences of a seasoned campaigner.
It is always either too wet or too dry. It can sometimes be both. It can sometimes be too windy. The only constant with the weather is that it is always too. I remember having to remove my socks one morning in order to wring out the rain from them. I put them over the back of my chair and then had a quick kip. I woke up with sunburn on my toes. Sort of sums up Silverstone weather for me. If it can get you it will. If it can get you twice, it will go for a third.
There are as many arguments as to what to opt for in a tent as there are types. For instance, the one universal truth accepted by all campers is that it is best to have a tent to yourself. However, if you go for a bit of luxury and bring a two man tent then you will be expected to take Colin who, for various reasons, the main one being how thick he is, will have forgotten his.
There is a problem with this argument as if everyone in your group opts for a single man tent then each of you will have to accept Colin as a guest at some point during the weekend and then he will turn over on top of you. This is exacerbated by the fact that by Sunday everyone will smell.
Don't be fooled by the chap in the showroom who erected a tent by throwing it at a wall from which it rebounded fully assembled. Every tent, be it a massive frame tent, those igloo types or the latest one that is named after a mountain, takes at least two hours to put up. This doesn't apply to the bivouac style sheet of plastic that the scary looking chap with what appears to be an AK47 in his bag put up with his toes whilst staring around him.
Don't take the instruction sheet with you. Firstly, it will not apply to the tent you have and secondly, even if you put it in a special little box that you hang around your neck, by the time to get to the camping ground you will have lost it.
Tent pegs disappear as well. It is a bad move to get even one bit of your tent taut as this is a signal to all those who arrived at the site sans tent pegs that you have some. It is best to view tent pegs as rather like bats. They should only come out when it is dark and should be back out of sight by morning.
Don't buy an expensive tent. I borrowed a one man, super light, easily erected, four seasons-type expedition tent. It really looked the business. It impressed everyone, especially the bloke who took it down during the race
Before you go practice sleeping on a hill. It is a very underrated skill.
Leave a light on in your tent at night. Whilst this tends to be a beacon for various stinging flying things, there are worst things that could invade your tent. Such as the drunken fan making his way back to his tent. Sometimes whilst driving.
It is not a good idea to spend any longer in the toilets than is strictly necessary. Building greater lung capacity that a pearl diver is the minimum preparation.
Do not let any bare part of your body touch any fixture or fitting inside or outside any loo in the camping area and at the circuit. For this reason do not eat the bergers as these will increase the number of visits and your speed of entry. Indeed, when spectating try and pick a spot some distance from the toilets as you can sometimes be fooled into thinking a car has just started.
Thinking laterally, I opted one year to take my own porta potti with toilet tent to Silverstone. I was somewhat shocked to find a queue outside it at 1 am. The look of bewilderment on the face of the chap I dragged from inside still haunts me. It seemed that in his opinion I was the one acting unreasonably.
Do not try and be too flash. There was one chap who parked his twin axled caravan amongst the tents and then proceeded to erect an awning. He was treated as a pariah. In fact so much so that it reminded me of when expressed to the crowd I was with how sorry I was that Italian driver Patrese's Williams expired during the Italian GP at Monza allowing the Ferrari through into the lead. A basic error that I am not likely to repeat, even if the Italian secret service hadn't noted what I said and classed me as an enemy of the state.
The chap made the mistake of sitting in he recliner outside his awning with alcohol with ice, a fry-up and, worst of all, an attractive women beside him. Some say that the fact that the two tyres on one side deflated proved that he must have driven over something sharp but many were sceptical.
Which brings us onto food
When inside the circuit don't buy anything that purports to have meat in it even if you have access to your own toilet and have a lock on the door. Avoid shellfish like the plague as it is like the plague.
Go out for your evening meal and stock up. It needs to last you until the following evening with just a top up from a loaf or two of bread.
Do not try and remember where you parked your tent by its relationship to any other tent. When you return there will be many more tents. Except that is after the race when there will be lots fewer including, as I mentioned earlier, one year a tent I borrowed. A very expensive tent.
Use permanent features as markers like, for instance, one of the many waste dumps. They will probably have been there since the previous GP so will be impossible to move.
Au revoir
When it comes time to leave, you've got no use for the gubbins so throw in all into the boot of your car, including Colin, and head for home. That gives you something to do when you stop at the motorway services. You can spend endless hours looking for your wallet. Be frightened if you find the chap with the AK47 hiding in the boot.
And then promise yourself that you will never go camping again.
USF1 – An American Perspective
For almost two years, I have been writing the Slipstream as a different perspective on the world of Formula One. As an American F1 fan, I am surrounded by the sounds of other domestic racing series, and while I am a fan of those series, Formula One is my passion. I would like to take the time to thank PitLaneF1 Magazine in featuring the Slipstream in their publication and I look forward to working with the entire staff and sharing my views with you, the reader.
Formula One and the United States have had a long and rich history together. Phil Hill and Mario Andretti are the only two world champions from the States, both winning their titles in tragic circumstances. From the days where the Indy 500 counted towards the overall World Driver's Championship, to the famous tracks of Watkins Glen and Long Beach, F1 has always had a place in the United States, until recently. With the fallout of the 2005 US Grand Prix still lingering, the series left the United States after the 2007 race the future relationship between American fans and Formula One was cast in serious doubt.
In the fall of 2008, the world was rocked by the worst financial crisis in a generation. This crisis impacted Formula One in declining ticket sales but it seemed that the shockwaves would only hit outlying factors of the sport. With Honda departing in December of 2008, and rumors of Toyota, Renault, and BMW walking away if they did not join the rumored break away series, you could not blame anybody for having a bleak out look for the future of Formula One. The Honda F1 "dream" was over, and the series was entering the new design era with speculation that the entire F1 house of cards would fall in on itself by 2012.
Rumors of an American centered Formula One team started to propagate. Buzz and excitement flew across the motor sports world. Questions of legitimacy were being asked in every F1 publication, doubts sank into even the most optimistic US Formula 1 fan. Was this team legitimate? Who will race for them? Who will sponsor them in this economy? All questions posed across the F1 global community.
A sign of encouragement was first seen in late February of 2009 as Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor announced that the rumors were true, and USF1 or United States Grand Prix Engineering was born. Not only did the team exist, they were already talking about who might drive for the organization when the green lights signaled the start of the 2010 season in Bahrain.
Popularity and excitement around the team grew at a rapid pace. This was helped by the presence of Mr.Windsor during Formula One race broadcasts and the frequent hype generated by the team's de facto soapbox, Speed TV. Known as mainly a NASCAR channel, the network took it upon themselves to help generate excitement about the team. It did also help that the team's main base of operations was based in Charlotte, North Carolina, home to all of the major Spint Cup teams. USF1 was starting to come together, but doubts over its late start and the lack of drivers would continue to linger around the team.
As spring rolled into summer and some of the other newly announced F1 teams such as Manor, Lotus, and Campos began to at least mention driver preferences, little was heard from the Charlotte backed organization. When the other teams were signing title sponsors, Mr. Windsor and the team would only give subtle overtures and avoidances to anything considered a tough question requiring a straight answer.
When pressed on the subject on air, Mr.Windsor would only respond with "we are fielding many possible line ups" and offering only vague hints at even potential considerations to fill both seats. It was the hope of many US fans that there would be at least one US born driver announced. In a way, the over exposure on the Speed network allowed NASCAR to put it's mark on the team in a way that I doubt Mr. Windsor had wanted to. During the summer when the buzz about the team was the most intense, NASCAR commentators would suddenly insert drivers like Kyle Busch, Scott Speed, and Juan Montoya. It almost seemed that NASCAR wanted a piece of the team that would soon be operating in its corporate nexus of Charlotte. The rumors about drivers ranged from the absurd to the absolute bizarre, the strangest being Indy Car driver Danica Patrick's remarks that "she wasn't interested" in considering pursing a seat for the team.
The reality about the team started to manifest itself when it was announced this past summer that YouTube founder Chad Hurley had thrown financial support behind the team. Rumors of Best Buy signing on with the team were also starting to gain steam as well. Best Buy had been trying to break into the European market for years and being on the side pod or vortex generator of a F1 car would have certainly helped their brand exposure in the European, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets.
Things became slightly more troubling when the first driver was announced and it was nobody anybody really expected. When Jose' Maria Lopez of Argentina was announced as the team's first driver a collective "Who?" rang out across the motor sport world. After months of speculation and hype, this was all that USF1 could announce? While the other teams were preparing for their debut in Jerez, Spain, USF1 was still trying to secure not only general sponsorship, but also additional funds to keep Lopez's services. It was looking as the fate of the team was becoming more of a forgone conclusion that they would never make the grid in Bahrain, maybe hope remained for the middle of the season, or even a delayed launch until 2011.
The team's demise was confirmed by the FIA when their entry list for the 2010 season was released two weeks ago. USF1, long suspected of not being able to make the grid would not race in 2010, and the American team from Charlotte who "hoped" to sign US talent "eventually" closed it's doors with both team principals having yet to comment.
The team's failures are many and there still may yet be hope for a US team to make the grid in todays "new team friendly" F1 but the faults of USF1 started at the very top. When pressed for answers, Mr.Windsor who was acting in the capacity of team spokesperson would provide very vague answers to some very basic questions such as engine provider, title sponsor, and driver candidates. Even if Mr. Windsor didn't have the answers to those questions, he could have gone a long way to establish creditability for the team if he just admitted that the team was still looking for all of those things. Instead he just skirted away from the chance to establish fact in a team surrounded by fiction.
If he was also able to sign somebody like Ryan Hunter Reay or Marco Andretti to even a test contract it could have been a great help in finding sponsorship. Marco had been given a test by the Honda team a few years ago, and while it was a basic demonstration for the young American, it seemed to be a prelude to possibly a test seat by 2010. Both of those men could have been a great help to the team by convincing fans of not only the legitimacy of the "US" in USF1, but also help bring sponsors to the table.
The demise of the USF1 effort was upsetting, if not frustrating to see. While there were many fans who hoped it would succeed, the team did not want to show it's support back to the fans that desperately wanted it to succeed. Had the team staged a demonstration run at Watkins Glen, or in New York City, I am sure that there could have been serious excitement generated by a team started on good intentions but faced with the hard realities of today.

10 Best Nail PolishesLooking for an instant accessory upgrade? Outfit your nails in one of these top-rated nail polishes |
Because we live in the age of instant gratification, we expect a lot from our polish. For starters, color choice is of the utmost importance: It has to speak to you, be in season and fit for the event you're attending. Beyond that, the nail polish has to be a good value (read: long-lasting and not too expensive) and look on your nails the same way it looks in the bottle. Plus, since we're always looking for ways to slice time off our beauty routines, we also want our nail polish to dry super-fast. Finally, it must be chip-resistant.
Think our standards are too high? Or can one polish really do all of these things? Our readers tried and tested many a polish to weed out the not-so-great ones from the gems, and here we deliver their top 10 favorite nail polishes.

I think I have to try the Rimmel polish now. 9+ rating and only $2?!

Totally agree with all the picks in this article, especially Essie, my fav!

Guess, I'm a gusher of Wet 'n' Wild it is a good polish and you can't beat the $$$ - I also thin my nail polish when it appears too thick but with ordinary remover - it works girls. ESSIE is overpriced for what you get. Not in my everyday budget. 'That's all FOLKS'
by HandbagLover Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 01:43AM Report as inappropriate
Wet 'n' Wild pricing is fantastic and it is a good nail polish if you use a good base coat and a super top coat, like Nails Alive.

I always go back to ESSIE! And Seche Vite makes a nail polish thinner, I think it's called Restore? Really does the trick! Also their top coat is the best I've found.

I like Avon, China Glaze, and one which wasn't mentioned--CoverGirl's "Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss." It has a built-in topcoat and looks fresh for more than a week, even with vivid shades!

I believe I'll try the Avon brand.

Wet n Wild is fine for the price :)

I take photos of my children on the same day every month. .You can see previous month photos here.
*Updated! The referring link for the 1 Millionth visitor was Ruhiyyih's Reflections!
Luv, I meant to start my monthly family photo project on January 1 and totally missed it (in a fit of exhaustion from hosting/feeding people 10 days straight). This is inspiring me to just start whenever. Maybe just shooting for once a month, even if it's not on the same day!
Congrats on one million! I really should look at my stats once in a while -- I have no idea where I'm at with that. :-)
So cool to have one million hits!
And I forgot about the first of the month, too. Where has time gone?! I think time passes so much faster as you age. When I was 8, time drug on like you wouldn't believe. Now I blink and half a month will have passed me by. Maybe as adults we are all too aware of time. Children never seem to be bothered by time. Maybe that's the key ;)
Sweet bebes! I can't tell if Ivy looks like any of the boys but all of your boys look SO much different from each other. Don't you think? Obviously they look like they belong in the same family, since they do, but they look very unique from each other.
Wow, so crazy cool to hit one million!! And I love that you take photos each month of the kids; I REALLY have to get on doing that and just make the time on the calendar so I don't forget. Maybe once the baby gets here it will seem a little easier to remember, since his age will be counted in months again....:) Take care and congrats!
ReplyDeleteI promised myself I was going to do this starting this month and I forgot! I will have to take a pic this afternoon and call it "January Five". ;) And then you'll remind me next month right? Just kidding... I just love this idea and will love looking back, I know...
And ONE MILLION?!? Woah! So awesome!
Wow - Ivy's blue eyes really POP! Is she the only one of your four w/ blue?
Also, I notice that Noah only wears his glasses in some of the photos. Does he only wear them at school or for distances? Also - how long has he had glasses? (Just curious...our 4yo has had glasses for about 4 months now).

LisIt WorksI shampoo everyday and used to see a bunch of strands on the drain. Ever since I started taking this product about a month ago, my hair is now thicker and fuller.posted Apr 5, 2010Link to this post
CrystalNew York, N.Y., United StatesGood For The PriceI was completely doubtful of this product. I made a purchase with folica and neglected to purchase this product because I wasn't particularly convinced. I went to my local Vitamin Shop and an Energizer stood right across me, and so I said, what the heck, I've looked at this product too many times, it's about time I purchase it! Before purchasing this product, I had just gotten a hair cut, I transitioned from using sulfate shampoos, silicone conditioners and gels, and silicone leave in products, in addition to washing (shampooing my hair) daily TO sulfate-free and organic products (devacurl) in order to revive my natural 3b/c curls. Additionally, my eating habits have changed. The reason I am providing these details is because there is no telling whether the alteration of my haircare routine and eating habits were particularly more profound and effective than the Energizer vitamins. Nonetheless, it is necessary to make these transitions for long lasting effects. Recently, I've noticed thicker and fuller hair. I am really aiming to grow my hair longer (since recovering from many "blow frying" damaging effects). The truth is that I haven't seen a greater difference in length, but I do notice that my hair has gained thickness and perhaps up to an inch of growth. My personal experience is based on ONLY days worth of drinking this pill, so judge so according (and I will provide a second review shortly after I finish the Energizer bottle. FYI: Since taking these vitamins, I have felt quite uncomfortable and rather sick to my stomach, hence causing occassional (one to two) trips to the bathroom. Since taking these vitamins, I have felt close to the point of vomitting. This vitamin has caused me some nausea. (I am not pregnant). Remember, to each their own; every person recieves a product differently from the other.posted Nov 26, 2009Link to this post
MaureenCanadaVery Impressed.Within 5 days of taking these pills, there is a noticeable difference in my hair. I struggle with thyroid issues and this product has valuable support for this as well. My hair is now shiny, my skin has a pretty glow and I did up my belt yesterday and usually tug a little to hit my regular hole and without even the usual "tug" I hit the next one in!!!!! Well worth the money. Awesome product.posted Jun 30, 2009Link to this post
MilanaMilwaukee, WIIts Pretty Goodfor the price you cannot go wrong. my hair was very damaged from bleaching and i had to cut it short so i started taking the vitamins for about 3 and half weeks now and i can definetly see the shine coming through. its not breaking of as mucha and it looks and feel more healthy overall. well worth my $12posted Nov 3, 2008Link to this post
JoshuaTexas RangerI Bought These VitaminsMy hair seems thicker, and I really do recommend these pills. My hair grows real fast now! thanks =Dposted Jul 16, 2008Link to this post
AbbigailMinneapolis, MNGoodI thought this product was very good. After a week of continous usage, I noticed that my hair was a lot more manageable. Less spit ends, healthier overall. Im planning on buying more; its cheap and it works! You should give it a try!posted Apr 15, 2008Link to this post
DhWyomingThe Best Hair/nail/skin SupplementI work in allopathic and holistic medicine and this product is the best way to healthy hair/nails and skin. I have tried many things, since I have genetically thin hair. The majority of great hair comes from a healthy functioning thyroid gland and this product will support your thyroid and more. Plus taking a daily zinc supplement (in this product) supports your immune system as well-zinc has many wonderful benefits. I sometimes will take 4 capsules daily. Remember to take these w/ food. For such an inexpensive product, you cant go wrong on the way to good health by using it.posted Jun 11, 2007Link to this post

With West title in hand, Dodgers visit Padres
LA tabs Volquez for start against his former team at Petco Park
The Dodgers, fresh off winning the National League West for the first time in four years, continue their final road trip of the regular season with a visit to San Diego on Friday.
Los Angeles is coming off a split in a four-game series in Arizona, clinching the franchise's first division title since 2009 with a 7-6 victory on Thursday.
Edinson Volquez will pitch for the Dodgers in his first start against the club that released him in August. Volquez is 0-1 with a 5.74 ERA in three starts with the Dodgers. He was the Padres' Opening Day starter this season but went 9-10 with a 6.01 ERA before he was released.
Volquez, though, downplayed any lingering feelings about being let go by the Padres.
"Another game," he said.
Although they were the first team to clinch a playoff berth, the Dodgers are still playing for home-field advantage. If the postseason started now, the Dodgers (88-65) would open against St. Louis (89-64), with the Cardinals possessing the home-field edge.
Volquez came out of Sunday's start with a blister on his thumb, but was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday in Arizona. He said his thumb responded well to treatment and he was able to throw all of his pitches.
The Padres, meanwhile, return home to open a seven-game homestand. San Diego had a four-game win streak snapped on Thursday with a 10-1 loss in Pittsburgh.
Robbie Erlin will start for the Padres in the opener of a three-game series at Petco Park. The rookie left-hander is 2-3 with a 4.97 ERA in seven starts. He has never faced the Dodgers.
Dodgers: Gonzalez tough against Padres
• Adrian Gonzalez has strong career numbers against the Padres, his former club. In 25 games against San Diego, the first baseman is hitting .380 with six home runs and 24 RBIs.
Gonzalez was not in the starting lineup on Thursday because the quad muscle that forced him from Monday's game was still lingering, but he entered as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth inning and manager Don Mattingly hopes to have the slugger available to start Friday.
"He said it was a cramp, but when he came out last night [by ejection], he said he feels something," Mattingly said on Thursday. "I don't think it's major. He says he can pinch-hit and play defense. To me, it's more than a cramp and less than a full-blown injury, but it is enough to know he could use a day."
• Hanley Ramirez returned to the starting lineup Thursday as his back rebounded from a day off on Wednesday. The shortstop had four hits, including a three-run homer and a solo shot.
• Andre Ethier's sprained left ankle continues to improve and the outfielder will likely advance to taking batting practice on the field with the Dodgers on Friday, Mattingly said.
Padres: Gyorko closing in on milestone
Second baseman Jedd Gyorko needs one home run to become the fifth second baseman in MLB history with at least 20 homers in his rookie campaign.
Gyorko would join Dan Uggla (27 in 2006 with the Marlins), Joe Gordon (24 in 1938 with the Yankees), Danny Espinosa (21 in 2011 with the Nationals) and Alexei Ramirez (21 in 2008 with the White Sox).
In 115 games this season, Gyorko is hitting .251 with 25 doubles, 51 RBIs and 57 runs scored.
Worth noting
• The Padres are 11-6 in September, while the Dodgers are 8-10.
• L.A. leads the season series 9-7 and has won the last five meetings.

- people in the U.S. have this name View June Smith on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
One of the names coined in the early 20th century from the names of months of the year. It was very popular in the 1930s but has since fallen from favour (compare April and May).
363rd in the U.S. |
English: occupational name for a worker in metal, from Middle English smith (Old English smið, probably a derivative of smītan 'to strike, hammer'). Metalworking was one of the earliest occupations for which specialist skills were required, and its importance ensured that this term and its equivalents were perhaps the most widespread of all occupational surnames in Europe. Medieval smiths were important not only in making horseshoes, plowshares, and other domestic articles, but above all for their skill in forging swords, other weapons, and armor. This is the most frequent of all American surnames; it has also absorbed, by assimilation and translation, cognates and equivalents from many other languages (for forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988).
1st in the U.S. |

The Colorado Crew is sponsoring their Second Annual Regatta on June 21rst & 22nd. I will be there with my Fleet of Attack subs. From what I have seen of this area, this is probably one of the finest areas to run subs in the United States. The first Regatta went very well and this one promises to be even better! If any of the SubRon 5 Members would like to drive to my place in Wichita, KS as a halfway point, I'll put you up for the night and then we can caravan over to Denver. Who else is in?

Kenneth Jay Lane Strawberry Necklace
44 comments:
This is INCREDIBLE! I must make it! You've done a killer job!
Smart n Snazzyif you do not have a toaster oven what temp would you suggest for a regular oven?
Thank you the strawberries are adorableRepliesEach kind of polymer clay has a baking temperature listed on the package, and suggested length of time to bake. I work in polymer clay a LOT, so let me offer some hard earned knowledge. Make sure you bake it at the temperature recommended; to NOT let it go more then 10 or so degrees above temperature. But it IS helpful to bake it for LONGER than the package calls for... it makes it sturdier. If you don't bake it at least long enough, it can remain uncured in the center, and that will make it weak in the long run.
So... bring it up to the temperature recommended (use a oven thermometer!) and NO HIGHER.... and bake it twice as long to make it stronger.

Wow!! I really love this necklace!! What kind of polymer clay do you use? I use fimo or premo
ReplyDelete what kind of clear lacquer do u use? is there another name for it? cant seem to find it anywhere =/
ReplyDeleteRepliesFrom someone who has worked in polymer clay for over 10 years - it's VERY important to use only finishes (like lacquer) that are polymer clay safe. Over time, it's been found that many 'sealers' seem to work just fine when applied, but months later start getting goopy and sticky, ruining your art. A bit of 'searching' online will bring you to all sorts of sites that can tell you what finishes work and what don't. For instance, to NOT use clear nail polish!

We put baking soda on a sheet and use a cup of vinegar with food coloring and an eye dropper. Mini volcanoes (and a good twenty minutes of peace).
I hope this event returns!! Great gifts for a houseful of kids and fun loving adults!
