Missouri (6-5) attained bowl-eligible status with its 31-27 win against Texas Tech (5-6) on Saturday, but coach Gary Pinkel's arrest and subsequent guilty plea for DWI stole the headlines in preparation for the game.
Pinkel's punishment
Athletics Director Mike Alden announced Thursday afternoon that Pinkel would be suspended for one week, missing the Texas Tech game and the send-off for Tiger seniors on Senior Day. Defensive Coordinator Dave Steckel took on the role of acting head coach Saturday.
According to Sports Illustrated, beyond his one-week suspension, Pinkel will forfeit key incentives, including his bowl bonus, and donate a portion of his salary to the MU Wellness Resource Center. His salary will also be frozen for one year.
"There's no question we're extremely disappointed in Gary's lack of judgment," Alden said at a press conference Thursday. "This absolutely goes against everything we stand for and everything he teaches his players in regards to our social responsibilities."
Pinkel wrote an open letter to Tiger Nation apologizing for his actions.
The Tigers completed a tough week emotionally with a hard-fought and down-to-the-wire victory against Texas Tech.
The team trailed 27-17 entering the fourth quarter. Missouri quarterback James Franklin was 6-for-7 passing for 85 yards in the final quarter. With two minutes and 22 seconds remaining in the game, Franklin scored a rushing touchdown to give the Tigers a 31-27 lead.
According to ESPN's Big 12 football blog, the Red Raiders were marching down the field in position to score when Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege's pass was tipped up in the air by defensive lineman Dominique Hamilton and then intercepted by fellow lineman Michael Sam.
Next up: Kansas
Missouri finishes its season against border rival Kansas (2-9) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. Pinkel will resume his head-coaching duties after his suspension.
Kansas is coming off a 61-7 loss at Texas A&M on Saturday. The Jayhawks have yet to win a conference game this season.
With Missouri entering the Southeastern Conference next season, according to The Kansas City Star, the continuation of this annual football game is in question. Missouri has a 56-54-9 all-time record against Kansas.

Firstly, I have a (infinite) list of Either
s, which is produced like this:
x :: A
f :: A -> Either B A
xs :: [Either B A]
xs = iterate (>>=f) (Right x)
The list will contain several Right
s (always a finite number) and then the same Left
value repeated. What I need is to take all the Right
s and one Left
after them. In this particular case it can be done also by changing the function for example, but I'm also interested in best general method.

Numerically correcting the joint misplacement of the sub-holograms in spatial synthetic aperture digital Fresnel holography
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 21, pp. 18836-18842 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (461 KB)
We propose an effective reconstruction method for correcting the joint misplacement of the sub-holograms caused by the displacement error of CCD in spatial synthetic aperture digital Fresnel holography. For every two adjacent sub-holograms along the motion path of CCD, we reconstruct the corresponding holographic images under different joint distances between the sub-holograms and then find out the accurate joint distance by evaluating the quality of the corresponding synthetic reconstructed images. Then the accurate relative position relationships of the sub-holograms can be confirmed according to all of the identified joint distances, with which the accurate synthetic reconstructed image can be obtained by superposing the reconstruction results of the sub-holograms. The numerical reconstruction results are in agreement with the theoretical analysis. Compared with the traditional reconstruction method, this method could be used to not only correct the joint misplacement of the sub-holograms without the limitation of the actually overlapping circumstances of the adjacent sub-holograms, but also make the joint precision of the sub-holograms reach sub-pixel accuracy.

If you're being asked to do more work than before, with less time for your personal life, you'll relate to this excerpt from Todd Brown's blog post for Next Action Associates.
Want your people to be more productive in the office? Help them get more of their personal things done.
Published on January 22, 2013 by Todd Brown
Why do people have so many personal things on their minds? In my experience it's because they are better set up to handle things at the office, because that's where "work" happens, and productivity is expected. Personal things are allowed to take a back seat. But here's the rub: If the personal open loops aren't handled appropriately, they are just as likely to generate stress, relationship problems, and mental distraction, both at home and at the office.
The problem is exacerbated by the current economic reality. One of my clients, the head of HR for a firm here in London, told me last week that while staffing levels are down on last year, work levels definitely aren't. We're hearing similar thing from many of our clients these days.
With even more to do at the office, the pressure on home life is becoming even more intense. There are just as many open loops at home, and they're probably getting less attention.
So if your goal is to enable your people to deal with increased demands at work, with a clear head and without distraction, support them in developing a "whole life" approach to managing their open loops that helps them get their personal life under better control.
This doesn't mean they'll spend a lot of time at the office doing personal things. It does mean that when open loops present themselves in their personal lives, that they'll have the confidence that they can handle them appropriately. And at work they'll be able to focus better, undistracted by the open loops at home.
That's what I call a "win-win."

Nice. I'd like to see a brainstem to have it evoke a brain, though; didn't see that until I read comments. It has a wonderful, light, airy feeling to it. I really like how it has a sense of movement as well.

The stock hit the fuel tank, this one does not!
Read All Reviewsdon in OH
Looks to be well made. But, stock louvered plastics don't fit right. I had to enlarge the holes, bend the outside mounting edge metal, and with all that the plastics barely fit. Radiator needs to be a little wider overall.
Read All ReviewsBrian in CA
Being a radiator flush, can't really tell if it got rid of deposits or not. I'll assume it did. The reason for the average rating is that it does not mention in the directions that this product will foam up and out of the radiator when it starts to react with the deposits. I would buy it again. But next time I would not make the mess by just putting it in and immediately putting the radiator cap on and let it sit.

Sauteed Beetroot Leaves with Anchovy and Garlic Breadcrumbs
Not being a person who regularly buys beetroot I have no idea what the general protocol is. Do you only care about the bulbs so buy the sorry looking shorn specimens, what about if the leaves are dull and limp, does this mean that you will forego your beetroot plans until better quality ones are available? Or is all that fresh stuff and the stain that do along with it just a little too much work, is it the tin for you?
I gotta say, after trying this recipe – next time you buy fresh beetroot make sure the leaves are shiny and fresh, because they are divine in their own right (and healthy fresh leaves mean that they were picked recently, so the overall taste is going to be better, just saying).
Why all this talk of beetroot leaves? That part of the vegetable that is so often discarded, well, um, yeah, exactly my point. I actually bought a bunch recently just for the leaves. I made beetroot leaf rolls stuffed with lemon and cumin tomato rice, and then this simple dish (then I had to figure out what to do with the rest).
The flavour of the leaves carries through the earthiness of the root, but is lighter and ever so slightly bitter, and green. Some recipes call for blanching first, but they are delicate and like most leafy greens (well, ok, reds) they don't benefit from over-cooking. Just a quick saute in a hot pan with oil (or butter), then mixed with pungent anchovy and garlic breadcrumbs this is a great earthy and homey side dish, or, um, satisfying lunch for 2. What can I say, I really like these leaves that are so often just thrown away.

3 cloves garlic, sliced
3T extra virgin olive oil
3 anchovy fillets
1/2 – 3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs (or if you are too lazy to want to dirty the blender, then just finely cube the bread.
Prepare the beetroot leaves:
Separate the leaves from the stems. Cut the stems into 1cm lengths and set aside. Cut the leaves into 1 cm strips and set aside separately.
Heat the oil in a frypan to medium-low and add the garlic and anchovies, they should sizzle, but not brown. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant and the rawness has been cooked out of the garlic. Turn the heat up a little, then add the bread, some salt and pepper and cook, stirring until the flavoured oil has been soaked up and the the bread is starting to turn a little crispy. Remove from heat and pour bread mixture into a separate bowl.
Wipe out the frypan and return to a medium to high heat. Add a little oil to the pan and add the stems. Cook for a few minutes until starting to soften, you may need to add a little water so that they don't stick. Add the beetroot leaves to the pan, along with a little water and salt, and cook, stirring until they have wilted and softened and the stems are also soft. At this point you can stir through some of the bread, it will soak up the leaf juices and turn a wonderful pink. Alternatively, transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Serve immediately.

Can't wait to try this…it sounds so good!
Michelle's last blog post..TFF — Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder
I love the addition of anchovy here. Simple dish but packed with flavor. My kind of food. Thanks for sharing!
LunaCafe's last blog post..Spring Rhubarb & Apple Crisp with Toasted Hazelnut Streusel
Yummy! Beetroot leaves are almost the best bit. Definitely tastier than plain old silverbeet. And I cooked rhubarb this morning, so maybe there's something red-stemmed/green-leaved in the air (oh right, it's called Autumn).
miss_om's last blog post..I have a secret to share with you…
Wow. Who would've thunk it. I just bought a bunch of beetroots for borscht but I'll definitely make something of the leaves now. Thanks! Learning heaps from your blog!
Forager's last blog post..Altered flavour states with miracle fruit!
Beetroot leaf rolls sounds fiddly with such narrow leaves, but the lemon, cumin filling sounds great. I've been eating a lot of beetroot leaves in lentil dishes lately.
Arwen from Hoglet K's last blog post..Standard Recipes for Fifty
Oh, I would have never thought the beetroot leaves would be useful! haha.
Betty's last blog post..Cho Dumpling King
Nice use of the leaves, recipe looks easy enough as well! Anchovy is great! I made a simple pasta the other night with just olive oil, garlic and anchovies and it was good enough as a main meal.
Howard's last blog post..Sushi Dai, Tsukiji Fish Market (Japan)
Michelle: It really is, and you can substitute all different kinds of greens for the beetroot leaves, though it won't have the same earthiness.
LunaCafe: No worries, thanks!
miss_om: They are tastier than silverbeet (though I do have a little silverbeet trick up my sleeve), and the colour is so pretty. I love rhubarb, but often the stuff in the shops here is tired and rubbery – gotta get my dad to send some down
Forager: Aww shucks, thank you
Arwen from Hoglet K: Yeah, the rolls really were a bit fiddly, but if you mix is thick enough, and you blanch the leaves, and can pack them into your pan, then you dont really have to worry about the stability of the rolls. Beetroot leaves and lentils sounds like a tasty (hippy) combination, ill give it a go
Betty: They are almost the best bit!
Howard: Anchovies are much maligned, but I reckon that people who hate them on pizza would love the depth that they add to sauces when they are cooked down in it (if only they knew that anchovies were in there). Though on pizza I think it is a bit of a textural issue as well. I <3 anchovies.
Other edible leaves include Strawberry leaves. Yep. And you can eat those raw, dressed as in a salad. Ooh, and celery leaves.
SydneyCider's last blog post..Sydney Secret Dinners
Full of surprises I never knew about the strawberry leaves, next time I pilfer strawberries I will grab a few leaves and give it a go.
I only like the pale yellow celery leaves, I find the outer green ones a bit too bitter -
Hi, I gotta say I wholeheartedly agree with you. They are the best! I just had them lightly stir fried with water and a clove of garlic! They are awesome.. The other leaf which is DELICIOUS is sweet potato leaves. Chinese people always eat that stir fried and it is the best! ^_^
Thank you for this recipe!
I picked the whole beetroot plants out of my garden so of course wanted a recipe that would use the stalks and leaves.
Shock horror no anchovies on hand (I binge on anchovies, just ran out) so substituted a tin of sardines. Not as good as anchovies would be, but quite adequate.
I only wish I used real bread, not pre-made bread crumbs.
Anyway. Thank you again for a simple and wholesome meal.
DELICIOUS. What a perfect way to use the leaves from beetroot. I have just made and eaten this. It's so nice use as many leaves as you can as they wilt to a very small quantity.
I will definitely make this again. S
I could not bring my self to throw the beautiful shining leaves out and will make your recipe tonight – I love anchovies and garlic bread crumbs so I am sure it will be a delicious combination with the leaves.
Stumbled on this recipe, am definitely going to give it a try! I discovered a neat trick, quite by accident … if your beetroot leaves are a little on the limp side, rinse them under cold water then fill the sink and let them rest in the COLD water for 10 mins. They'll become very crisp and perky, and will last in the fridge for up to 3 more days (or until you cook them!) Delicious
id like to ask what beetroot leaves look like please.
This was delicious! I've cooked beet root greens before but never like this! My husband could not stop eating the anchovy breadcrumbs by themselves, lol!
The lemon and cumin tomato rice recipe you mentioned sounds amazing too – I'll have to play around with that!

Future Of Skin Care
The Insane Future Of Male Grooming
The latest wonder treatment for injured athletes -- and, we hasten to add, those seeking eternal youth -- involves having one's blood sucked out, thoroughly cleaned and then pumped back into the body.
Unless, of course, you work in the cosmetics industry. Lax rules and insane budgets mean the big cosmetics brands can bring new technology to market much faster than their pharmaceutical counterparts — and many years before the same research is sanctioned for use in the medical arena. We already have products that mimic DNA, repair skin damage and defy age more effectively than ever before, and the innovations show no sign of slowing down.
Granted, we're a couple of years short of a truly sci-fi-styled restroom (an iPhone facial morphing app, anyone?), but certain gadgets, ingredients and procedures are already catching on with savvy consumers. We've constructed our own time machine to see the kinds of technology, procedures and apparatuses will become more commonplace in the very near future.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
With True Blood, Twilight, et al. sparking the kind of mass hysteria about vampires last seen in 18th-century Eastern Europe, it should come as no surprise that the latest wonder treatment for injured athletes — and, we hasten to add, those seeking eternal youth — involves having one's blood sucked out, thoroughly cleaned and then pumped back into the body.Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), as it's formally known, isn't quite as extreme as it sounds. Only 30 milliliters to 60 milliliters of blood is extracted before being placed in a centrifuge and spun for 15 minutes. The concentrated platelets that separate from the liquid are then re-injected back into the patient's bloodstream with the hope that the abundance of growth factors will help renew tissue, grow fresh cells, repair DNA, heal scars and even treat aging skin. Or at least that's the theory.
Favored by the likes of Tiger Woods following knee surgery and a host of other competitive athletes (not to mention average Joes suffering from chronic pain), the Dracula therapy is starting to look like a viable alternative to oral steroids and cortisone shots.
Nanomedicine has been grabbing headlines for years now, mostly because of the ethical conundrums that come as a result of the ability to control matter on an atomic level. Having said that, we're already enjoying the practical benefits of nanotechnology. Scratch-resistant coatings on new cars, antimicrobial bandages and super-strong (yet impossibly light) carbon-nanotube-infused graphite tennis rackets are all the result of research into ultrafine particles.In the world of skin care, however, nanoparticles are a little more controversial. Nanotechnology is a big deal to cosmetic companies because it allows you to use less of an active ingredient in order to reap a sizable effect (a fantastic money saver for you, the consumer). This is especially handy for essential products like sunscreen, where less product is more effective.

So you see what I did there, sweet! You were opera singer and then turned to heavy metal? Ways of life are unpredictable. :D I like every music, but I prefer more electronical music, especially The Living Tombstone or Sim Gretina - maybe it's because they are making MLP-related music. But metal music is fine too, but I like classic rock like Guns'N'Roses. And you have nice page, it totally needs more fans. :)

Every time she is stressed or angry, Jen turns to food. This tendency creates a snowball effect that pushes her to either starve or purge her meals by forced vomiting to keep her waistline small.
"I look like a cow," the 18-year-old college student says. "I'm so fat."
Jen is one of three fictional characters who stars in a new CD-ROM created to show how thousands of college-age women in the United States fall prey to unhealthy eating habits and put themselves at extreme health risk.
The two-hour-long CD-ROM program, developed by an MU researcher in collaboration with Northeastern University and Inflexxion Inc., is designed to help college women prevent and deal with eating disorders.
Universities will be able to buy the program in two to three weeks.
Laurie Mintz, one of the lead researchers and an MU associate professor of counseling psychology, said the multimedia program, called "Food, Mood and Attitude," will educate young women about good nutrition.
She said that women entering college are more likely to develop bad eating habits due to social pressure and lack of self esteem. She added that eating disorders are acute among sorority members and athletes.
Eating disorders, such as binge eating and vomiting, can quickly lead to anorexia or bulimia.
"There are great numbers of college women at risk," Mintz said. "This multimedia program is showing great progress in preventing eating disorders."
About 10 percent of college-age women report symptoms of eating disorders, according to the Academy of Eating Disorders.
A study used to the determine the program's effectiveness showed that women who view the CDs were less concerned about their weight and over-exercising during a long period of time.
The MU Health Promotion Program has four of the program's CD-ROMs, which are available for students at the Student Health Center, 1101 Hospital Drive.

Tactical Pants - Galls A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, manufacturer of Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers, this week introduced upgrades to its Panasonic Toughbook 19 rugged convertible tablet computer. The next generation Toughbook 19F convertible tablet PC joins Panasonic's flagship Toughbook 30F clamshell notebook with its incorporation of the Core 2 Duo processor and expanded memory capabilities. The 5.1-pound Toughbook 19 also offers an optional integrated camera for use in inspection and incident documentation applications for which the convertible tablet has become widely deployed in military, government, and commercial applications.
These MIL-SPEC-certified notebooks incorporate the rugged features—such as magnesium alloy cases, sealed keyboards and ports, hard drive heaters, flexible internal connectors and shock-mounting—that combine to deliver the highest levels of reliability in the industry. Both the Toughbook 19 convertible tablet and the Toughbook 30 notebook include an anti-glare, anti-reflective sunlight viewable display, WiFi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth, a mobile broadband-ready (WWAN) design, along with backlit keyboard, GPS wireless and many more options.
Engineered for the Usage Environment
Rugged PCs must be purpose-built and engineered for the environments in which they will likely be used. This requires solutions for heat management and screens which can be read in bright sunlight.
Panasonic addresses heat dissipation—a critical component in truly water- and dust-resistant units running faster, hotter processors—through its heat-pipe technology, allowing next-generation rugged units to run fast but cool without using a fan. Internal fans create noise, add weight and are a significant potential source of failure in rugged computing environments where dust, sand, humidity and precipitation are common.
The Toughbook 19 has a sunlight-readable 550 nit tablet model or a 500 nit touchscreen – both come with an anti-glare, anti-reflective coating as well as innovative technology developed by Panasonic that dramatically improves contrast and viewability outdoors. In addition, the Toughbook 30 was the first notebook to achieve a 1,000 nit rating. Even with these bright screens, both PCs still deliver 7 hours of battery life. Panasonic also allows for its screens to be dimmed significantly for the security and safety of those working in dark environments, such as military or law enforcement operations.
Panasonic Factory and Independent Quality Testing
Rugged Panasonic Toughbook notebooks are tested using the MIL-STD-810F methodology for a range of extreme conditions including drops (36", unit and hard drive), shocks, vibration, humidity, altitude, water-, rain- and dust-resistance, temperature extremes and thermal shock. Each of the eleven Mil-spec tests conducted on the Toughbook 19 (and the Toughbook 30) is validated by independent lab testing. In addition, rugged Panasonic Toughbook notebook screens, cases, ports, and keyboards are IP54-rated for water and particulates. The products have achieved UL1604 Class 1 / Div. 2 certification for use in hazardous environments.
At the Panasonic computer factory, in addition to mil-spec tests, Toughbook notebook hinges endure 50,000 cycles and keyboards are subjected to 25 million keystrokes. Panasonic's commitment to quality—at both the component and finished goods level—results in a total of more than 500 checks and tests before, during and after production, on every unit built.
Warranty, Support, and Professional Services
Every Panasonic Toughbook mobile PC is sold with a standard three-year limited warranty and access to 24/7/365 U.S.-based phone support for the entire life of the unit. Panasonic boasts an average call center hold time of less than 75 seconds. In addition, in the unlikely event of a hardware-related failure, Panasonic covers the cost of overnight shipping to and from its national service center, where the average turnaround time for repairs is less than two and a half days. Panasonic also offers a full range of professional pre- and post-deployment services, including on-site support.
Pricing and Availability
The Toughbook 19F is available now at an estimated street price of $3,199. The Toughbook 19 with integrated camera will be available in May 2008 with an estimated street price of $3,699. These and other Toughbook notebooks are available exclusively through authorized Panasonic Toughbook resellers nationwide.

This is good advice for anyone on QLC who is working and looking to switch jobs. It's amazing how accommodating employers can be if they really need you as a candidate. I've interviewed with managers who were on Pacific Time but accommodated my time zone, and have also been offered to interview on Saturday, over lunch, and even after work. All I've needed to do each time was ask.
Likewise, when I hire, I will go to great lengths to accommodate the candidate if I really need to fill the position. I've stayed at work until 7 PM once in a while just because a working person needs that time slot after work. If the candidate is who I'm looking for, I really don't mind *and they give better interviews, because they're not all stressed out and rushing around.

Meaning & Origins
Mainly North American: from the name of a river in south-west Scotland that runs through Glasgow, perhaps by way of a surname derived from the river name, although for many Scottish emigrants it was the point of departure from Scotland. The given name gained some currency, especially in the American South. The bank robber Clyde Barrow became something of a cult figure after the film Bonnie and Clyde (1967), in which he was played by Warren Beatty.

| Published Version 207kB |
This paper develops a model of a professional sports league with network externalities by integrating the theory of two-sided markets into a two-stage contest model. In professional team sports, the competition of the clubs functions as a platform that enables sponsors to interact with fans. In these club-mediated interactions, positive network effects operate from the fan market to the sponsor market, while positive or negative network effects operate from the sponsor market to the fan market. We show that the size of these network effects determines the level of competitive balance within the league. If the market potential of the sponsors is small (large), competitive balance increases (decreases) with stronger combined network effects. We further deduce that clubs benefit from stronger combined network effects through higher profits and that network externalities can mitigate the negative effect of revenue sharing on competitive balance. Finally, we derive implications for improving competitive balance by taking advantage of network externalities. For example, our model suggests that an increase in the market potential of sponsors produces a more balanced league.

Thanks DancingJools, and yes it would be great if we could leave that type of talk to the "tabloid journalist" forums and magazines.
Here's a question: last year there was some Pro/Am comp tacked on to the end of Blackpool. Did that even take place this year? If not, why not? Just curious.
There was no such event this year and I don't know of any plans for the future. My impression was that last year was a one-time event.
Supershag ran the event last year on behalf of the UKA Unfortunately we have so much happening in the US this year that we did not have the time to organize it .The UKA have expressed an interest in running the event again and actually did want to host it this year.On a side note Tibor from Supershag is actually at the UKA conference doing a whole days worth of workshops on Smooth dancing.Cheers chris
Back in the US after an almost 3 week journey involving Paris, London and the whole of Blackpool. Grateful to have ice cubes and iced tea again! Blackpool was a phenomenal event this year - I felt the US was passed over again and again unfortunately, and that tainted an otherwise perfect trip. Paying dues, coaching with the right people, politics, tea leaves, lucky charms and superstitions aren't enough to overcome a panel of Brits who seem to remember the Revolution every evening when the 48 becomes the 24. You feel like this is the moment - how could they ignore the excellence of our couples? and then it happens again and we go from 8 couples to 2 or 3. By the final, I am waiting for the dress change and packing up the camera. The most exciting round is the 48 - first I have a whole bunch of people that I know and adore to cheer for and second, it isn't crowded with the bronze level dancers from the really large country that has the largest population in the world. I think they don't have enough teachers to keep all the students dancing while they are gone, so they just bring everybody - as you get on the bus, you get a dress and a makeup lesson. The differences this year were obvious as I looked at my pictures - the dresses were sooo much prettier in standard and the latin dresses - well they were either to the knees or above the crotch. But they were composed much better than in years past - not a whole lot of everything but the kitchen sink. The second difference was the joy in the faces I captured - I don't remember so many smiles, so much exhilaration in years past. The third difference you won't see in my pictures - I saw more tears and sad faces this year than ever at the end of each evening. Our sport is expensive on all levels and in all countries - these kids give up weeks of teaching to go to England to get coaching, compete and hopefully get a notch up on the ladder. The european countries often support their top couples, so losing to someone could mean losing significant income. The pressure is unreal - the location surreal and in the end, saying "you should have been in there" is not enough. I find it amazing every year what you have to go through to get there - planes, trains, buses, taxi - no skycap, just wobbly clackety carts that won't go straight. B and B accomodations that would be condemmed in the US and we are actually protectively proud of, comparing the size of bathrooms and breakfasts. And of course, putting pounds down for next years deposit. Blackpool doesn't have a lot of "real" dancers in their population - they don't attend, they are just grateful for the business. So there is an invasion of pink and purple suitcases from Japan and food-toting slicked-back hair guys from China (and Americans with toooooooo much luggage) to this strange little city on the northern coast of England where the big excitement of the prior week was a hen party that got a little wild. 3 or 4 sticky toffee puddings, a lot of Indian food, a cottage pie, a salad each day that includes 2 grapes (no more, no less), lamb and mint crisps, limitless numbers of mars bars, bacon that is closer to ham, custard on anything that could remotely be considered a custard accompaniment, coffee (lots and lots of coffee), diet coke (they finally figured out diet coke -no more light coke), a wish that you had brought mittens, figuring out how to look smashing when you have to walk 4 blocks in wind and rain on uneven bricks - who cares wear black pants and gob up the jewelry, swearing you will not overpack next year (but then remembering that last year it was 70 degrees not 45), a vow to never eat sticky toffee pudding again after pro latin, best friends in very close quarters, finally, you pack up and leave with the pink suitcases and let the quirky little city return to its protan-less state. On Saturday I stood alone in front of the Winter Garden. The locals don't get that the reason we come can be summed up in that delicious moment in under 21 standard when some fresh faced fearless kids from slovenia go airborne in quickstep. Blackpool is a moment to bring your best to the table and the getting there and enduring make the rewards so much greater. sdsalsaguy has some of the best shots that anyone took - hope after next week he'll have a moment to edit some and get them to his web site. I got some lucky shots - but he was the hot shot photographer of the week. I'm headed to the store to buy some slimfast.....
I noted many many many many Japanese entries in Standard, but few Chinese, which has the largest population in the world... are you sure you are talking about the right country?
I'm curious about the Chinese too. I have a Chinese friend who is a competitive ballroom dancer and teacher. In order to get permission to leave China to go to international events, the dancers have to post a bond. The amount of the bond depends on their history and where they are travelling. His only time out of China was to go to a competition in Singapore, and I think he said his bond for that was 3,000 yuan (that's about a month and a half of his salary as a dance teacher). He said the bond to go to Blackpool was much larger -- it was either 10,000 yuan per couple, or maybe it was even 10,000 yuan per person. That's a *lot* of money in China...so I wonder how so many couples can find the means to!
The review was lovely... thank you. Made me feel a bit like I was actually there . Nice to have some commentary on something other than the actual dancing itself. Thank you!
its possible - I am not one to carry the book into the ballroom. But honestly, the effect would be the same if they were from France or the US or a zillion different countries. The first qualifying round has a lot of really scared, ill-prepared bronze-silver level dancers (and some not as scared as they should be) who are struggling to remember the choreography. So I apologize for the error. I honestly think that the impression that China came to the game later than everyone else is what fueled my thoughts - Japan has been working on being a ballroom superpower for a very long time. And Peter Maxwell needs to learn to say "will all couples please stand together" in Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Russian. Frankly I wish there were general announcements in several languages every night. People complain when directions aren't followed - a lot of the dancers and the audience don't speak any English.
I guess if you take a minute to check the competitors list you will be able to find out that those "bronze level dancers" are mostly not from the "large country that has the largest population in the world". I'm afraind not so many bronze level dancers in that country can afford that luxuary, not yet, not to mention their students. I'm also very sorry that some of the best US couples were overlooked by the Blackpool judges, but there's no point to take it on those Asian dancers. Maybe the organizer can follow the model of the World Cup, giving each country or continent a certain quota, so that the dance floor is not overwhelmed by competitiors from a certain country. But that's a totally different matter. Lastly, I want to say that this is a very good review, very vivid, personal and original. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know about the bond you mentioned about. But it is true that it's very difficult for Chinese to get a visa to the developed countries like US, UK or EU countries. You have to see the papers I have to produce to the French Embassy when I applied a visa to France, it is literally a book. So other than the financial considerations, a visa is another huge obstacle for Chinese to go out to compete.
I think it's not a matter of who comes early who comes late, it should be the question who is good and who is not. I'd rather neglect which country the competitors are from (don't forget the country the couples represent may not necessarily the country they are originally from). I'd hope the dancesport would stay away from politics as much as possible, but... who am I to say that? By the way, there's nothing to be surprised if a couple of Chinese competitors are catching up so quickly. With China's soaring economy, the Chinese dancers are given more opportunity to learn and compete with the best dancers in the world. It's only normal to see their progress aussuming that ANY race has equal talents in learning and dancing. Again, this is not taking into consideration of the politics which I really dislike.
Thanks dressgirl... I've had a chance to start processing my shots and have started adding them to my online albums. So far I have day 1 and part of day 2 up. Day 1's shots are a little off for my liking, but with almost no sleep the night before, flights from San Diego to Chicago and Chicago to Manchester, a train from Manchester to Blackpool, only a couple of minutes "napping", and some new camera equipment that was the best I could do to start out. I remember having trouble eveen focussing my eyes by the time of the finals! With a night of sleep and a little more time to figure out what I was doing, day 2's shots got better. What exists of my 2006 Blackpool albums so far can be found at: printroom.com/ghome.asp?domain_name=JSMphoto&group_id=5
Photos are up on dancesportinfo. Looks like individually sewed feather gowns are big in standard. I saw one like that several years ago by Pino's partner and loved it but heard that it's very expensive. Wonder when it'll be affordable for regular folks. Anna's costume is most eye-catching to me. There's a bit of shock at first, but then I love it. Looks like Alessia is dancing in those metal stilettos (I'll save my comment on her white gown). So not only can you dance in those shoes, you can get a blackpool title in them What did Kristi Boyce do to her hair? :shock:

In OS X you can swap between applications in a similar way to Windows (Alt+Tab on Windows, +Tab on OS X) however there's one important difference – Windows swaps between all open windows, but OS X only swaps between apps. The problem is that in OS X you can switch to the right application but the window you want can be minimized.
To restore the window from the dock you need to:
- Hold
- Press Tab until the correct app is highlighted
- Hold
- Release
- Release
It's a bit tricky but you soon get the hang of it and it's easier than picking up the mouse

Chicago, Illinois Warehouse Fire
On September 3rd, The Cicero Illinois Fire Department was toned out for a fire in a warehouse at 34th and Cicero Avenue.
On arrival, companies found heavy smoke conditions. After a short period of time command requested a 1 alarm response for Mabas Division 10.
Seconds before the box alarm was transmitted, The Chicago Fire Department was dispatched for a working warehouse fire at 32nd and Cicero.
On arrival, Battalion 13 determined this was the same fire. Battalion 13 made the determination that a couple of the units would stay on scene to assist in the suppression operations.
The fire was struck out about 4 hours after the first call. Live power lines down in the fire building hampered fire fighters until comed got on scene to shut down power.
