1976 Volkswagen Beetle Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 8 reviews
Volkswagen made only minor upgrades to its popular Beetle for 1976. The car was now fully carpeted, and came with a rear window defroster and special metallic paint in addition to other standard paint colors. The front seats were redesigned for improved comfort, and the adjustments for the seat backs were improved as well. Also, the Super Beetle was discontinued.
The Beetle came with an air-cooled, rear-mounted, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine that generated 58 horsepower. A four-speed manual transmission, dual braking system, four-wheel independent suspension, and a flow-through ventilation system were also part of the package.
Standard features for the Beetle included seat belts for the driver and passengers, two-speed windshield wipers with a pneumatic washer system, swiveling sun visors, coat hooks, assist straps, folding rear seats, and luggage space under the front hood and in a three-foot carpeted compartment behind the rear seats. A convertible top was optional.

Coolio transformed into breakdancing polar bear
Student filmmakers win Environment Agency film competition by casting Coolio as a water-wasting polar bear.
Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 03:42 PM
The wonders of CGI! In this Odd Couple send-off, Coolio plays a break-dancing, water-wasting polar bear and BBC star Terry Christian plays his crusty, bi-polar (get it?) penguin roommate.
My friend and fellow environmental writer Lina Aguirre pointed me to this great student film competition called "Tomorrow's World" run by The Environment Agency, a UK nonprofit. The goal of this year's competition is to raise awareness about water conservation.
The top prize went to five students from Liverpool John Moores University for their film "Human after all." It's a great example of getting across an otherwise finger-pointing environmental message in a way that makes you think, without making you think you're "bad."
I believe we oh-so-serious Americans could benefit from a good dose of snarky British humor in messaging about environmental awareness. If you want to see a real (non CGI) polar bear dancing check out my Dancing Polar Bear post.

Press release from Marketwire
B2Gold Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
B2Gold Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results07:30 EDT Tuesday, August 14, 2012VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - B2Gold Corp. (TSX:BTO)(OTCQX:BGLPF)(PINKSHEETS:BGLPF)(NAMIBIAN:B2G) ("B2Gold" or the "Company") reports its results from its operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. 2012 Second Quarter Results HighlightsGold production of 36,803 ounces, exceeding first quarter production of 34,602 ounces and in line with budgeted guidance Record throughput at La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua of 5,563 tonnes per day, exceeding the budget of 5,491 tonnes per day Gold recoveries at both La Libertad and Limon Mines averaged over 91%, exceeding budget Adjusted net earnings (1) of $21.2 million ($0.06 per share) Consolidated operating cash cost of $583 per ounce of gold, approximately 4% lower than budget of $609 per ounce of gold Cash flow from operations of $27.8 million ($0.07 per share) Gold revenue of $57.3 million Gold sales of 35,860 ounces Cash and cash equivalents of $77.3 million at quarter end Financial ResultsB2Gold reported adjusted net earnings (1) for the quarter, of $21.2 million ($0.06 per share) compared to $21.6 million ($0.06 per share) in the same period of 2011. Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2012 was calculated by excluding a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $2.4 million ($6.3 million in 2011), non-cash share-based compensation expense of $6.9 million ($0.7 million in 2011) and foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million ($0.3 million gain in 2011).Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter of 2012 was $27.8 million ($0.07 per share), compared to $27.1 million ($0.07 per share) in the first quarter of 2012 and $28.8 million ($0.09 per share) in the second quarter of 2011. The Company remains debt-free and in a strong financial position with $77.3 million in cash as at June 30, 2012. Based on current projections, the Company expects will be able to self-finance its planned capital and exploration expenditures for 2012 by using its mine operating cash flows and strong cash position. For the second quarter of 2012, the Company generated (GAAP) net income of $11.9 million ($0.03 per share) compared to $15.0 million ($0.05 per share) in the equivalent period of 2011.(1) Adjusted earnings is a non GAAP measure and consists of net earnings, adjusted to exclude deferred income taxes, stock based compensation and foreign exchange gain/losses. Gold RevenueGold revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $57.3 million on sales of 35,860 ounces at an average price of $1,599 per ounce compared to $54.5 million on sales of 36,030 ounces at an average price of $1,513 per ounce in the 2011 second quarter. Gold revenue increased by approximately 5% compared to the corresponding quarter in 2011, due to higher realized prices for gold.In the second quarter, La Libertad Mine accounted for $40.1 million of gold revenue from the sale of 25,020 ounces while $17.3 million was contributed by the Limon Mine from the sale of 10,840 ounces.Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company ended the second quarter of 2012 with cash and cash equivalents of $77.3 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $97.7 million at March 31, 2012 and $78.9 million at June 30, 2011. Working capital at June 30, 2012 was $110.7 million compared to working capital of $118.2 million at March 31, 2012 and $95.8 million at June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents decreased in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter, mostly due to a change in working capital between the quarters of negative $11.3 million (as current liabilities decreased by $8.1 million in the quarter), an investment of approximately $5 million in Calibre Mining ("Calibre") and resource property expenditures of $35.4 million, offsetting cash generated from the Libertad and Limon Mines.B2Gold has no debt and no gold hedging. The Company expects that it will be able to self-finance its planned capital and exploration expenditures for 2012 by using its mine operating cash flows and strong cash position. The Company also has $25 million available for draw down under the Revolving Credit Facility with Macquarie Bank Limited.OperationsThe Company's consolidated gold production during the second quarter of 2012 was 36,803 ounces at an operating cash cost of $583 per ounce compared to 36,760 ounces produced over the same period last year at an operating cash cost of $507 per ounce (and to budget of 37,502 ounces at an operating cash cost of $609 per ounce).B2Gold maintains its production and cost guidance for 2012 and is forecasting another record year for gold production in 2012. Consolidated production from La Libertad and Limon Mines is estimated to total approximately 150,000 to 160,000 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of approximately $590 to $625 per ounce. Average operating cash costs have been budgeted to be approximately 10% higher in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to a temporary higher strip ratio at La Libertad in 2012 and higher consumables and power costs.Cash operating costs are expected to improve and production to increase in 2013 and 2014 from 2012 budgeted costs due to the processing of higher grade ore from the Jabali deposit through the Libertad mill. The Company is projecting gold production to increase to approximately 185,000 ounces in 2013. Cash from mining operations for the six months to June 30, 2012 was $74.2 million, exceeding first half 2012 guidance by $3.2 million and will continue to improve (at current market prices) in subsequent quarters as production increases. It is expected that cash from mining operations for 2012 will exceed original projections of approximately $140 million (using a $1,550 per ounce gold price). Cash from mining operations, based on an average price of $1,550 per ounce of gold, is projected at $170 million in 2013 and $200 million in 2014.La Libertad Mine, Nicaragua (B2Gold 100%)La Libertad open pit Mine continued to perform well in the second quarter producing 25,135 ounces of gold at an operating cash cost of $505 per ounce and a total cash cost of $489 per ounce from 506,203 tonnes of ore milled at an average grade of 1.69 grams per tonne ("g/t"). This compares to the budget of 25,161 ounces at an operating cash cost of $558 per ounce. La Libertad Mine operating cash costs were $53 per ounce below budget mainly due to less waste mined than budgeted during the period.Total cash costs for La Libertad are lower than operating cash costs due to the Nicaraguan tax administration accepting La Libertad's request to treat ad-valorem taxes (a 3% production tax) paid by La Libertad as direct credits against corporate income tax due, rather than as a deductible expense in computing its corporate income tax. Prior to the acceptance of this request, the Company had taken a conservative position treating its ad-valorem payments as a deductible expense rather than as a minimum income tax prepayment. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company began recording these payments as tax credits. Ad-valorem taxes paid in the first quarter of 2012 of $1.3 million were also reclassified from royalty and production tax expense on the consolidated statement of operations to income tax credits (reducing estimated current taxes payable on the consolidated balance sheet).Gold production in the second quarter was slightly lower than budget mainly due to a slightly lower gold grade of 1.69 g/t versus budget of 1.73 g/t mostly offset by higher tonnage of 506,203 tonnes, a quarterly through put record, versus budget of 499,722 tonnes. Recoveries in the quarter of 91.5% also exceed budget of 90.4%. The higher gold recovery was mostly due to gaining experience in blending ores from the various pits. The mill throughput rate in the second quarter averaged 5,563 tonnes per day, slightly better than the budget for the period of 5,491 tonnes per day. The slightly lower grade than budget was primarily due to mining less ore than planned from the Jabali area.Gold production from Libertad continues to improve with record production in the month of July of 9,684 ounces of gold. Gold production from Libertad is expected to increase quarter over quarter in 2012 as higher grade ore from the new Santa Maria pit enters the mine plan as well as resuming production of higher grade ore from Jabali in the fourth quarter.La Libertad Mine is forecast to produce approximately 102,000 to 110,000 ounces of gold in 2012 at an operating cash cost of approximately $550 to $575 per ounce. Cash from mine operations at La Libertad Mine is projected at approximately $100 million (at $1,550 per ounce gold price).The Company has budgeted capital costs at La Libertad in 2012, totaling approximately $27.7 million. The majority of this capital cost will be expended on pre-stripping at the Santa Maria pit and to access future ore by enlarging existing pits and completing a tailings pond expansion.The 2012 budget for the development and feasibility of the Jabali deposit has been reduced by $2.9 million to approximately $21 million. This budget is funding the construction of a private haul road for transporting the Jabali deposit ore to the Libertad mill, and for engineering, metallurgical and socio-economic programs. The permitting of the Jabali deposit is scheduled for completion in the third quarter and open pit mining is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2012. With the commencement of hard rock mining at Jabali in late 2012, subject to a final mine plan and permit, we are projecting La Libertad annual gold production to increase to 135,000 ounces in 2013 and to increase further in future years.At Jabali, the Company plans to expend $5.3 million (an increase of $1.3 million from the initial amount budgeted) to drill 5,500 metres in 2012 to complete infill drilling of the Jabali Antenna Zone and further explore deposits that are open to the east and west.An additional $3 million has been budgeted in 2012 to fund further drilling to explore the 20 km long Libertad gold belt. Further drill results will be released during the year.Limon Mine, Nicaragua (B2Gold 95%)The Limon open pit and underground Mine continued to perform well in the second quarter producing 11,668 ounces of gold at an operating cash cost of $752 per ounce and a total cash cost of $843 per ounce from 96,932 tonnes of ore milled at an average grade of 4.11 g/t at a processed gold recovery of 91.2%, compared to budget of 12,341 ounces at an operating cash cost of $711 per ounce. The higher than budgeted cash cost per ounce was mostly due to lower throughput than planned, which was the result of more mill downtime taken than what was planned to replace one of the grinding mill motors during the period.Gold production from Limon to date in the third quarter 2012 continues to improve with July being the best month of production year to date in 2012. Similarly to the Libertad mine, Limon production is budgeted to increase in subsequent quarters in 2012 and cash operating costs are expected to decrease from those in the first two quarters. The Limon Mine is projected to produce approximately 48,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold in 2012 at an operating cash cost of approximately $700 to $725 per ounce of gold. Cash from mine operations at Limon is projected at approximately $40 million (at $1,550 per ounce gold price). The Company is undertaking capital expenditures at the Limon Mine in 2012 expected to total approximately $21.3 million. The majority of this capital expenditure is funding a major underground mine development program and capacity expansion of the tailings pond. The underground development work is accessing deeper ore at the Santa Pancha vein, which should add approximately three years of production. Capital expenditures for 2013 are expected to be lower as the tailings pond work in 2012 will add approximately 5 years to its storage capacity.Exploration continues on the Limon property with two drill rigs exploring both near surface and underground targets with the goal of increasing the current five year mine life and testing higher grade targets.The 2012 exploration budget at the Limon property totals $4.6 million, funding 14,000 metres of drilling to explore numerous open pit and underground targets on the property. The Company's exploration team believes there is potential to increase the current mine life of the Limon Mine and also discover higher grade open pit and underground deposits that could potentially increase annual gold production and reduce operating costs per ounce of gold.Health, Safety, Environmental and Corporate Social ResponsibilityB2Gold continues to provide extensive support for Nicaragua Community Programs and Initiatives.At El Limon in the second quarter, the Company completed its commitment for construction of a new preschool and continued with its program to pave roads within El Limon and Santa Pancha. Other projects included training of volunteer emergency response teams, flood control work, visits from government commissions and outlying communities to show the advances in mine practices and infrastructure. B2Gold maintains a monthly dialogue table with various communities which have greatly aided the Company's communication and mutual understanding.La Libertad roadwork and worker housing projects continued, the corporate social responsibility group successfully aided in the development of two small businesses (a bakery and a veterinary clinic) and donated an ambulance to the community. There are a number of ongoing initiatives such as rural youth training, support to a technical training centre and improvements to infrastructure for a center for Pipitos (for challenged children). La Libertad Mine now supports a multilevel dialogue table to improve drinking water in La Libertad.At Santo Domingo, a nursery is now in operation for plants and reforestation projects. Work continues with improvements of local schools and computer facilities, and a study is under way to establish a wildlife reserve. Foundation work has started for the new municipal centre.In Managua, B2Gold has a new project partner, Compañeros, (a Canadian non-profit group) and a new project to benefit 220 houses with improved sewage services. The medical centre in association with the foundation Juan Pablo II is advancing well.B2Gold is proud of its contribution to Nicaragua, improving quality of life in the communities that the Company operates in.Development ProjectsOtjikoto Property, Namibia(B2Gold 92% / EVI Gold 8%)B2Gold has a 2012 feasibility and development budget of $34.6 million to complete a feasibility study in the fourth quarter of 2012 and concurrently commence planning for mine construction at the Otjikoto gold project. Feasibility work includes metallurgical drilling and test work, power studies, geohydrology, mine planning, engineering design, cost estimating and environmental and social studies. Based on current assumptions the Company expects to commence construction in early 2013 and commercial production at Otjikoto in early 2015 with average annual gold production in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold over a ten year mine life based on a Preliminary Economic Assessment released by Auryx Gold Corp. in September 2011.B2Gold Namibia's experienced staff, is well placed to advance development at the Otjikoto gold project given B2Gold's existing cash position, cash from operations and strong financing capability and a management team with significant mine development and operating experience.A further $8.9 million has been budgeted in 2012 for exploration of which $4.3 million relates to 16,150 metres of feasibility study drilling. Another 2,500 metres of drilling will be carried out to explore beyond the current resource at the Otjikoto gold project. Regional exploration work will also be conducted on the surrounding area. The Company's exploration team believes there is significant exploration upside at the Otjikoto gold project.Gramalote Property, Colombia(B2Gold 49% / AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold") 51%)B2Gold and AngloGold are funding pro rata a 2012 joint venture prefeasibility and exploration budget of $36.9 million (100%) for the Gramalote property, located 80 kilometres northeast of Medellin in Central Colombia. This budget will fund 21,700 metres of diamond drilling for the exploration of additional targets on the property, and infill drilling. In addition, the budget will fund prefeasibility work including additional environmental studies, metallurgical test work and engineering. Each joint venture partner will fund their share of expenditures pro rata. A prefeasibility study is scheduled to be completed in in the third quarter of 2012 and a final feasibility study is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.The Company believes the Gramalote project has the potential to become a large scale open pit gold mine with production projected to commence in 2016 (subject to completion of a feasibility study and financing).Investment in Calibre MiningOn May 2, 2012, B2Gold invested Cdn $5 million to acquire 20 million shares of Calibre at a price of Cdn $0.25 per share plus one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the Company to acquire one common share of Calibre at a price of Cdn $0.50 per share for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance. Upon completion of this acquisition, B2Gold owned approximately 10.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Calibre.Acquisition of Trebol and Pavon Properties in NicaraguaB2Gold has completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Trebol and El Pavon gold properties in Nicaragua from two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Radius Gold Corp. ("Radius") and issued to Radius as consideration 4,815,894 common shares of the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement to make contingent payments to Radius of $10 per ounce of gold on 40% of any proven and probable mineral reserves in excess of 500,000 ounces determined to exist on the Trebol property as publicly announced by the Company.The Company and Radius have also entered into a joint venture agreement on a 60% - 40% basis with respect to each of the San Jose and La Magnolia properties in Nicaragua, with the Company and Radius contributing 60% and 40% respectively, of the exploration expenditures of each joint venture.As part of the transaction, the Company and Radius have terminated all other aspects of the existing option and joint venture arrangements entered into between the parties in December 2009 in respect of the Trebol, El Pavon and San Pedro exploration properties.ExplorationIn addition to the exploration programs mentioned above, the Company is undertaking further exploration programs on the Trebol and El Pavon properties, the Radius Gold joint venture property and the Calibre Mining joint venture property in Nicaragua and the Cebollati property in Uruguay.B2Gold and Calibre recently announced final phase I drill results at the Primavera Gold and Copper Porphyry joint venture project. A 10,000 metre phase II drilling program at Primavera began in mid-June. In total, B2Gold's combined 2012 exploration budgets is approximately $36.1 million used to fund approximately 69,000 metres of drilling. Further exploration results will be released as they become available.OutlookIn conclusion, given our proven technical team, strong operational and financial performance, financing capability and high quality development and exploration projects, B2Gold is well positioned to continue our growth as an intermediate gold producer from existing projects. Based on current assumptions the Company is projecting gold production to grow to over 450,000 ounces per year by 2016. In addition, the Company will continue to pursue accretive acquisitions and carry out our aggressive exploration programs.Conference Call DetailsB2Gold will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the first quarter results on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 11:00 am PST / 2:00 pm EST.

Ive had my advert deleted for being in the wrong category when it was placed exactly where it should be and my account closed for posting multiple adverts when I only posted one. These are just two examples of difficulties Ive had with them. I have continued to use the site as its free but… Read Full Review

In reading up on backing up GAE's Datastore, where:
We strongly recommend that you set your application to read-only mode during a backup or restore...
After a cursory inspection, it appears that the only way to do this is via the GAE web admin UI, where you either Disable or Re-Enable Writes inside a page somewhere.
I would like to write some Ant buildfiles and/or shell and/or Python scripts that would allow me to backup/restore my GAE app's Datastore automatically. This would mean I would need a way to automate the enabling/disabling of writes (putting my app into and out from a "read-only" mode) to my Datastore, all from inside some script (like I said, either Ant, bash or Python).
So I ask: is this even possible? Or is this something that must be done "manually" (via the web admin UI)? Thanks in advance!

A client called the other day to say that she had received correspondence from the IRS. The first line of the letter read:
Dear Taxpayer:
We have received your income tax return and are holding your refund until we complete a thorough review of your return.
The problem is my client has not yet filed her tax return.
Someone had stolen her identity and filed a fraudulent return using her social security number. My client and I are working on straightening out this situation. Listed below are the steps recommended to her by the IRS:
Although you will not lose your refund, you can expect delays in the processing of your return if a fraudulent return has been filed using your name and social security number. A special affidavit concerning the identity theft must be filed with your actual return and the return must be filed in paper form. An electronic filing will not be acceptable.

Re: Lazy Jacks: Lov'em or Leave'em?
Had lazy jacks on all prior boats. On new one went with Dutchman system. Can't safely single without some way to control main on boat this size. Was brought up to never put a hole in a sail but surprisingly Dutchman done right doesn't wear the sail. Having sail flake as it comes down makes reefing easier as well. With hard bimini and hard dodger wanted to keep sail above boom. Going off shore didn't like losing ability to use vang as occurs with in boom furling systems. Being concerned about having the right angle between boom and mast as well as point of sail bugged me. Also believe it's more important to be able to get sail down then up so don't like in mast furling having had one get stuck on a passage back from Bermuda. Think having Dutchman or lazy jacks a safety feature and worth the expense and hassle. With Dutchman can use as extra halyard in worse case scenario way I have it rigged. Can bring all string forward to use trysail should need arise.

Emilio Rojas - Piano Bounce
Artist: Emilio Rojas
Producer: DJ Green Lantern
Album: The Natural
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 22 votes )
I don't know how you could have listened to DJ Z's interview with Emilio Rojas and not been impressed by the young emcee's humor, intelligence, drive, and yes, confidence, but you have to admit, he always backs up his words with musical action. The latest example of the New Jersey native's mic skills is the engrossing Piano Bounce, a softly banging cut produced by DJ Green Lantern that appropriately flips a piano riff into an underground anthem. Quality production aside, the real story here (as always) is Rojas' versatile rhyme style, touching on everything from fashion to family struggles to the fight to reclaim his Latino roots, all with an admirably honest approach: "The city I'm from they got a rep for being coarse, so I done dealt with every real emotion but remorse." If you're digging Piano Bounce, and let's be honest, you really should be, definitely check out Rojas' upcoming mixtape, The Natural, set to drop soon.

NEW ORLEANS -- Two people are in custody on some of the highest bonds ever set in Orleans Parish Criminal Court.
They're facing multiple charges of sexually abusing kids.
An Orleans Parish grand jury indicted 55-year-old Dale Benjamin Sr. and a 33-year-old woman with multiple counts of aggravated rape, indecent behavior with a juvenile and cruelty to a juvenile.
The Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office says the crimes took place in the 400 block of Harmony Street between 2008 and January of this year.
Benjamin is being held on a bond of $7.4 million, and the woman on a $7.5 million bond.
The district attorney's office says there's good reason for both.
'Each defendant is facing seven counts of aggravated rape. A conviction on just one of those counts carries an automatic life sentence,' said Christopher Bowman, a spokesman for the district attorney's office.
The office says the victims are under the age of 13.

"Yuriko and I were strongly attracted to Houston Ballet because of the opportunity to work with Stanton and the company's repertory," states Mr. Matthews. "Next year's season is fantastic and was a huge motivating factor for us to make this leap."
Mr. Matthews, a native Houstonian, and Ms. Kajiya, a native of Nagoya, Japan, appeared together on the popular television show So You Think You Can Dance performing the pas de deux from Don Quixote. Ms. Kajiya is well known in Japan, having appeared in several high profile documentaries. She starred in the 2007 documentaryPassion Across a Continent in Japan. In 2011, a 90 minute documentary entitled Yuriko: Ballerina appeared on national television across Japan. In September 2013, she met with the Prime Minster of Japan, Shinzo Abe, while he visited the U.N., to discuss women's rights within Japan.
Mr. Matthews and Ms. Kajiya first worked with Mr. Welch in 2001 when he was choreographing The Long and Winding Road for ABT Studio Company, casting them as one of the main couples in the ballet. When they joined ABT's professional company, Mr. Welch cast each of them in their first soloist roles in his ballets Clear, Carmina Burana, and Within You Without You: A Tribute to George Harrison. Mr. Matthews was featured in one of the casts of Mr. Welch's work Clear when ABT premiered it in 2001. Since 2001, he has also danced in the first cast of Clear several times when it has been performed on tour and when it was revived most recently at the Koch Theater in New York City in 2013. They were both featured in the ballet that Mr. Welch created for ABT's Within You Without You: A Tribute to George Harrison.
Mr. Matthew states, "The first live ballet performance I ever saw was by Houston Ballet, featuring Janie Parker and Carlos Acosta in The Sleeping Beauty in the mid 1990s. Stanton had a strong influence at the beginning of our careers. It is only appropriate that he is there for the next chapter."
"I have been fortunate to have already choreographed on Jared and Yuriko a few times. They are lovely dancers, strong and versatile. They have a good grasp on contemporary and classical dance, and it has been a pleasure to observe their dancing over the years. We are very excited to have them join us at Houston Ballet," comments Mr. Welch.

Re: New mainsheet - recommendations
I re-rigged with Samson XLS after some consideration, vetting and recommendation from a Practical Sailor comparison study. I hate the stuff.
It's slippery, it deforms and I don't even like the thread colors, which is probably due to my bad attitude on those first two characteristics. Nice hand feel and the study said it wears well. I've only had it one season and I'm abusing the daylights out of it, hoping I will need new sooner.
I will go back to New England Ropes next time. I was sold on the wear, as my last jib sheets wore out in 3 years. They take a lot of abuse around multiple stays. I think I won't get much more out of these anyway.

If you're looking for a good Z77 motherboard to pair up with that shiny Ivy Bridge CPU but don't want to break the bank, MSI's Z77A-GD55 is well worth a look. Despite its modest $165 price-tag, the GD55 offers a rich feature-set, looks good, has a robust EFI and even makes overclocking easy for those who don't care for the manual route.
Autodesk offers a mind-blowing number of software production tools, but for those who are looking to build complex 3D models and scenes, it's 3ds Max that stands at the forefront. First launched in 1995 as '3D Studio Max', the program has since become a standard within some important industries, including architecture design, gaming development and film production.
For our test, we render a scene commissioned from Bulgarian artist Nikola Bechev, entitled "Naomi: The Black Pearl". The woman is comprised of over 7,000 polys with the entire scene totaling just over 106,000 vertices. Three light sources are used, with the entire scene being enhanced with HDR and ray tracing techniques, and subsurface scattering applied to certain objects. The scene is rendered at 1800×3600 as a production release, with HQ detail levels being used all-around.
Both ASUS and MSI once again came out even here.
Like Autodesk's 3ds Max and Maya 3D tools, Maxon's Cinema 4D is a popular cross-platform 3D design tool that's used by new users and experts alike. Maxon is well-aware that its users are in need of some rather beefy PC hardware to help speed up rendering times, which is one of the reasons the company itself releases its own benchmark, Cinebench.
There are a couple of reasons we like to use Cinebench in our testing. For one, it's freely available for anyone to download, unlike our Autodesk-based tests. Second, it has the capability to scale up to 64 threads, which means we'll easily be able to rely on it until the next version hits. As a faster CPU can also help improve the GPU computational pipeline, we also like that it includes an OpenGL benchmark as well. The fact that the benchmark completes in mere minutes is another perk.
ASUS comes ahead of MSI here, save for the OpenGL test which is equal. Intel falls behind in both tests.

Are we entering the age of the Google Plus celebrity? It sure appears that way to me! It seems that every social network goes through a period when the celebrities on a platform begin to appear. It is now time for my favorite platform Google Plus to come into its own.
I wrote about how everything new goes through 3 stages. First you have the explorers, then the pioneers begin to arrive and finally the settlers are arriving. I believe we are entering the exponential growth phase for Google Plus right now. It is time to make sure your profile on Google Plus is optimized, to get the best possible exposure.
The people who do it right and make the biggest positive impact will reap the benefits of being a Google Plus celebrity. I am not talking about celebrities like we see on tv or the movies. I am talking about people who are celebrities within the Google Plus community. We are already seeing some people emerge as a genuine Google Plus celebrity.
The people I am talking about first and foremost engage in the Google Plus community. I have not seen any of these people troll a fellow user. These are people that I would not mind having a coffee with someday. Yes, coffee seems to be the unofficial drink of choice of many Google Plussers.
Like every community you will have your elitists, your trolls and the ones who will tell you that everything has to be done there way. I am not looking to give these types of people a platform.
I love the Google Plus community and embrace the international feel. Anabell Hilarski and I regularly have hangouts with people from all over the world. You don't need a crystal ball to see that this social network is breaking the barriers of maps and bringing the world together. There is a profound opportunity for you and I to become international celebrities. The use of Google Translate within Google Plus comments has made it possible for us to have a conversation with fellow Plussers who may not speak our language.
The days of the Google Plus celebrity have arrived and I want to point out a few people that I believe will continue to stand out on the platform. These people all embody a will to succeed. They produce great content. They engage with the Google Plus community. They understand that not everyone needs to conform to a set of rigid rules. Most of all they keep their fellow Google Plus users entertained.
- Mia Voss– We are all going #BatCrapCrazy for this Google Plus Starlet. Her show, "Social Media Power Chat", is a must watch hangout every Friday. Mia keeps us entertained and helps us learn at the same time. #GetYourLearnOn
- Yifat Cohen– Our G+ GoToGal has been a star on Google Plus since my early days on the platform. Yifat saw an opportunity and went for it. Her energy and love for what she does come through on every episode of her show. Yifat is the one that taught me and many others the benefits of using hangouts to build a personal brand.
- Mike Allton– It seemed like he came out of no where to bring us pearls of Google Plus wisdom. Mike has been writing articles that will show you how to use Google plus on a regular basis. His approach to writing has made it easy for people to understand. Recently Mike has been stepping up to the mic and showing face via Hangouts. I believe this will catapult him to Google Plus stardom.
- Scott Buehler– Scott has been a phenomenon that few can understand. He reminds me of a rookie pitcher who comes into the league and has a 20 win season. Scott has his system and he sticks to it. I love how he disproves the naysayers and keeps crushing it with his numbers. If you want to go big on Google Plus then you need to have Scott circled and learn from him.
- Martin Shervington– I have been a fan of Martin since the beginning. He has been helping people learn how to use Google Plus via hangouts and his page, "Plus Your Life". We all know the ladies love his accent, but he is genuinely a wonderful person. Martin's passion to teach people the value of the platform is unrivaled.
- Larry Fournillier– The way that Chef Larry Fournillier has taken Google Plus by storm is unprecedented. He has been invited to Google to cook thanks to his hangout, "Learning How To Cook Caribbean with Larry Fournillier". He is a perfect example of someone who creates great content and the Google Plus community took notice.
- Christine Degraff– She may be known as the, "#Circle Queen", on Google Plus but Christine is not a one trick pony. She has multiple hangouts weekly. She is an example of a Google Plusser who has found a way to monetize her work on the platform. Her star is rising on Google Plus, so make sure to follow her now and learn from her along the way.
- Jessica Northey– I have to admit that I am a little star struck. Jessica Northey is a social media Princess. You see, she was huge on social media before she stepped on the Google Plus red carpet. Her site CMChatLive.com is where you can keep up to date on everything happening in Country music. If you need a G.R.A.S.P. on how to do social media right make sure to circle her up. #CMChat
- Anabell Hilarski– Ok, so I am a little partial to my wife. She is doing something that very few in the Spanish community are doing. You see her interview show, "Social Media Guia", is a way for her to showcase the Spanish speaking social media gurus. Ana is the Google Plus evangelist that the Spanish community needs. Don't count this community out, I know we see an opportunity, you should also.
What do I recommend you do with these nine Google Plus Celebrities? Circle them, learn from them, emulate them, engage them and by all means say hi!

Fault In Arkansas Could Result In Massive Quakes
Researchers in Arkansas recently made a troubling discovery "" a massive fault that may put the eastern portion of the state, as well as Tennessee and Mississippi at risk.
The 5,000-year-old fault has an epicenter of at least 7 miles in length, said researchers at Arkansas Earthquake Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. It is likely to have caused at least one magnitude 7 earthquake over the course of history.
The fault lies underneath cotton fields about 100 miles east of Little Rock. Liquefied sand bubbled up through cracks in the earth, while ground radar and digs showed vents that let the sand reach the surface, Haydar Al-Shukri, the director of the Arkansas Earthquake Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock told the Associated Press.
"This is a very, very dangerous (area) at risk of earthquake," Al-Shukri said. "When you talk about (magnitude) 7 and plus, this is going to be a major disaster."
If the fault caused an earthquake, it would result in consequences for Little Rock and neighboring states such as Tennessee and Mississippi, Al-Shukri said.
What's more, researchers and regional energy providers say that major natural gas pipelines are near the fault.
"Pipes are all over the place," said Rebecca Virden, spokeswoman for CenterPoint Energy Inc., which owns Arkla Energy Resources. "We, CenterPoint Energy, or someone else has a pipeline everywhere."
Scientists say the fault is separate from the one in New Madrid that sparked tremors of around magnitude 8 in 1811-1812. Many smaller tremblors continue to shake the region as a result of the one in New Madrid.
Possible safety solutions could include "more valves and different types of valves in case something happens and the pipeline can be shut off quicker," like those seen in Southern California, Carl Weimer, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust in Bellingham, Wash., told AP.

Sat, Sept. 7 vs. Redlands/at UC San Diego, Triton Pool San Diego, Calif. 12:30/4:30 pm
Sun, Sept. 8 vs. LMU/UC Davis, East Pool San Diego, Calif. 9:30 am/2:30 pm
Bear Bites: The 2013 California squad, featuring 2012 first-team All-American Collin Smith and 2012 Olympian Aleksa Saponjic, opens the 2013 season Sept. 7-8 at the Triton Invitational in San Diego Triton Invite Tournament Page. The Golden Bears, who are ranked fourth in both CWPA and the MPSF Preseason Polls, take on Redlands at 12:30 p.m. and host No. 11 UC San Diego at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday at Triton Pool. On Sunday, Cal battles No. 13 Loyola Marymount at 9:30 a.m. and No. 17 UC Davis at 2:30 p.m. Along with Smith, who led Cal with 61 goals and 31 steals last season, and Saponjic, who won a bronze medal as a member of the Serbian National Team in London and was a 2012 second-team All-American, the Bears also return three honorable mention All-Americans from the 2012 squad that finished 17-8 overall (5-3 in the MPSF) and were runners-up to national champion USC at the MPSF Tournament. Senior Hunter Gettelfinger notched 20 goals and was a top defender with a team-high 46 steals in 2012. Junior goalie Jon Sibley had 110 saves in 12 matches, including 12 saves in his first collegiate match against top-ranked USC, while sophomore Colin Mulcahy tallied 25 goals in 25 matches and was second on the squad with 29 ejections earned as a redshirt freshman.
Smith Standout: Cal senior attacker Collin Smith was spectacular last season, leading the Bears in both scoring and assists, while also tallying 31 steals, 11 ejections earned and 10 field blocks. Smith, who was elected 2013 team captain by his teammates, has been a major contributor for Cal ever since his freshman year in 2010 and was a 2011 honorable mention All-American. He joins fellow senior Giacomo Cupido as the only two Bears on the current squad who competed in the 2010 national title match in which Cal dropped a 12-10 overtime decision to USC. Smith currently has 103 career goals, 71 assists, 69 steals, 25 ejections earned and 21 field blocks.
Saponjic's Olympic Experience: Cal junior attacker Aleksa Saponjic helped his native Serbia to a 12-11 victory over Montenegro in the bronze medal match of the 2012 London Olympics. Saponjic became the first Bear to win an Olympic medal in men's water polo since Kevin Robertson and Olympic assistant coach Steve Heaston were members of the USA team that won a silver medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Saponjic, who as a freshman was an honorable mention All-American for Kirk Everist's Bears, helped Serbia to a 6-1-1 record in London. In the bronze medal match, Saponjic, the second youngest player on the Serbian national team at 20, played more than eight minutes, recording a steal and winning the sprint to lead off the second and third quarters. For the entire Olympics, Saponjic notched a goal in Serbia's 21-7 win over host Great Britain back on July 31, and ended up winning seven sprints with four steals, two block shots and one assist.
Cal's 2013 Scenario: In 2013, the Bears will look to continue their momentum from the 2012 campaign when they won seven of their last eight contests, including upending then-No. 2 ranked UCLA, 12-9, in the MPSF Tournament semifinal. Another highlight for Cal was dominating Stanford behind Smith's six goals, 14-8, in the Big Splash at Spieker Aquatics Complex...Cal has won more collegiate titles (13) than any other team in the nation, last upending USC for the 2006 (8-7) and 2007 (8-6) NCAA titles...the Bears will be televised six times on the Pac-12 Networks this season, including Nov. 9 against five-time defending national champion USC.
Head Coach Kirk Everist: A 2004 inductee into the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame, Kirk Everist is in his 12th year with a 244-71 mark (.775), leading the Bears to NCAA titles in 2006 and 2007, and MPSF crowns in 2002 and 2006. He was the 2006 NCAA Coach of the Year and 2002 MPSF Coach of the Year. A 1990 Cal graduate, Everist led the Bears to NCAA titles in 1987 and 1988, earning All-American status three straight seasons (1986-88) and NCAA Player of the Year honors in 1988. He played for the USA National Team for nine years (1988-96) and competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games. Everist will be joined this season by first-year assistant coach Russ Hafferkamp.

CSU Chancellor Reed announces retirement
- Details
- Published on 05/24/2012 - 2:12 pm
- Written by Business Journal staff
California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed announced his retirement today, capping off a 14-year tenure with the university system.
Reed began with the 23-campus system when enrollment was only at 100,000 students. It has since grown to 427,000 students and added a new campus in the Channel Islands in 2002.
During his time, Reed has managed budget cuts totaling more than $1 billion, or 35 percent of the CSU's budget in the past four years.
Despite the challenges, Reed oversaw some positive initiatives, like the Early Assessment Program implemented in 2004 and helped to pass a new California law in 2010 establishing an Associate Degree or Transfer for students who have completed 60 transferrable units, among others.
Reed earned several awards for his work as chancellor, including the Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence in 2012 and the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Price in Education in 2008.
"It has been an incredible honor to serve as chancellor of the California State University during such a dynamic period in the university's history," Reed said in a statement. "Over the past decade and a half, the CSU has emerged as a national leader in providing access and support to students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. Our campuses have continued to flourish even in the face of budgetary challenges."
Besides the CSU system, Reed also served for 13 years as chancellor for the Florida State University system.
Reed is expected to stay on as chancellor until a replacement is named by the CSU Board of Trustees.
Reed said he and his wife will return to Florida to spend more time with family, and he will continue to pursue higher education related projects.
