After being very disappointed today with having to call the race, we did quite a bit of research on the internet looking for a solution to help with the weeping issue on the track. We did find a product that we think will help and have ordered it to apply to the cracks and other areas of the surface. There is nothing more frustrating than to have reasonably decent weather and still not be able to race. We will make every effort to enhance the surface of the track so hopefully we can avoid this type of situation in the future. Thank you to all the fans and racers for your support! ...

The young Christian Dior was amazed to discover, far from his country, the profusion of shimmering colours and intoxicating scents of the Orient. It was an extremely sensorial world, which he remembered, once he had become a Couturier-Perfumer and enjoyed using richly embroidered fabrics and composing exceptional perfumes.
Knowledgeable from Christian Dior's fascination with a fantastical Orient, François Demachy has now created a unique fragrance. An ode to Oud blended with Labdanum Absolute, Oud Ispahan elegantly affirms its oriental identity.
The enchanting encounter between the woody strength of Oud and the power of Labdanum Absolute, tempered by Damascus Rose. This fragrance captures the Orient.
François Demachy
Labdanum Absolute comes from the rubber of the Mediterranean Cistus shrub.
Filled with heady, oriental shades of nature, this Absolute has an amber facet with more honey and sugar tones than animal Amber, and provides sensual notes that are emphasized by the woody strength of Oud.
Oud Ispahan invites Rosa Damascena Essence to an enchanted evening. Spicy and full of character, the Rose of Damascus is the key flower in Haute Perfumery. Subtle though highly scented, its luminosity and tenderness combines with the woody strength of Oud and the evocative power of Labdanum Absolute.
Appreciated by perfumers for its warm, balsamic notes, sandalwood adds fullness and sensuality to scent creations.

Amazing Postie-Ride
Hi RDT 953 , I subscribed to your thread a few weeks ago , and just caught up with everything that you have been up to in the mean time .
Amazing pictures and story , I will follow it with great interest .
I have also been on a 5 000km trip on Posties over the past few weeks , but mine has a Sidecar on it as you can see on the Oz Sidecar FB-page . After looking at your video and comments on some of the roads , how do you think this little rig would do over there ?
The recent trip to Vic and back to QLD was basically just a test-run for exactly what you are doing , we are thinking of riding all the way back to Thailand . The debate continue on whether to take the Posties or something a little bigger , maybe a Honda 200 AG , or even our BM 800 GS's , which I feel may be a bit heavy for this trip , your learned opinion on this subject will be much appreciated ?

Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith left the team's hotel shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday after being notified that his 19-year-old brother, Tevin Smith, had died in a motorcycle accident. The accident occurred in West Moreland County in northeast Virginia. "This is devastatingly sad, sad news. Torrey and his family are a close, special family, and our hearts and thoughts reach out to all of them," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. "Our hearts ache today. We pray for Tevin, his mother, Torrey and the rest of the family. God bless Tevin." Harbaugh said he did not know if Torrey Smith would play against New England on Sunday night. "Torrey's priority is his family. We understand that completely." Torrey is one of seven children of Monica Chante Jenkins. He wrote via Twitter on Sunday: "I can't believe my little brother is gone...be thankful for your loved ones and tell them you love them...this is the hardest thing ever."

Cebu City can pay Rallos kin, bank says
CEBU City has enough funds in one of its depository banks to pay the P133 million it owed to the heirs of Rev. Fr. Vicente Rallos.
"Per verification from the bank records, respondent City of Cebu has an account with the bank sufficient to cover the judgement of debt," said lawyer Roel Costuna and Rydely Valmores of the Philippine Veterans Bank.
But it's the city government that decides whether or not to use the funds to pay the Rallos.
"We were told that all city deposits are exclusively restricted for specific purpose for which they were appropriated or allocated," the bank's counsels said.
The bank's manifestation was filed with the Regional Trial Court Branch 9 yesterday.
Philippine Veterans Bank said they "cannot dishonor legitimate disbursements, if any, against the account of the City of Cebu beyond the judgement debt."
Last Sept. 28, Philippine Veterans Bank received from sheriff Antonio Bellones a Notice of Garnishment.
The notice mandated the banks "not to deliver, transfer, or dispense of the properties belonging to the City of Cebu to any person, entity, without an order from the court that issued the writ of execution."
The notice was also sent to the Land Bank of the Philippines and Philippine Postal Bank located along P. del Rosario Street; and Development Bank of the Philippines and Philippine Veterans Bank along Osmeña Boulevard in Cebu City.
Last Oct. 1, the amount owed by the city government to the Rallos family went up by about P133,469,962.55.
The principal amount is pegged at P44,213,000 but the city's debt rose through the years due to interest.
In an order dated Sept 23, 2011, Judge James Stewart Ramon Himalaloan of the Regional Trial Court Branch 9 ordered its sheriff to issue a writ of execution against the city government.
In case of the city's failure to pay, the court will levy any of the city's patrimonial, real or personal properties to facilitate payment of the debt.
Proceeds of the levied properties will be delivered to the Rallos family.
The court earlier ruled in favor of the Rallos family and ordered the city government to pay them P34.9 million for the properties it expropriated from them.
It also raised the value of the lands per square meter, raising the amount to P46.5 million.
The city government appealed the RTC decision with the Court of Appeals which upheld the decision of the lower court.
The Supreme Court also upheld the lower court's decision. Reporter Ador Vincent Mayol

Swimming with translators.
My wife had been going to the local YMCA regularly and swimming laps all winter. Never having accompanied her, I had always assumed that she swam her lengths the way I swam mine, using a leisurely breaststroke, a long, languid crawl, and a sidestroke for relief from even these dog-day exertions.
Not so, I realized suddenly when we were swimming together earlier this summer. She swims nothing but a kind of smooth, glorified dog-paddle. My mental picture of all her narratives of events and neighbors in the YMCA pool had to be completely revised. It looked nothing like the truth.
This revelation was of a piece with other small shocks to my automatic assumption system. My wife is European and always brushes her teeth with warm water. She was as appalled to learn that I brushed my teeth with cold water as I was on learning her preference. Since then, I have found that it's quite ordinary for Europeans to brush with warm water, and that even such a simple act as "brushing your teeth" carries in it very different sensations for Europeans and for Americans. We do not mean the same thing, sensuously, when we use the same phrase.
And I have been reading Ovid. I have read a great deal of Ovid over the past thirty-five years, both in the original and in translation--I was startled once to realize that I had more volumes by Ovid on my poetry shelf than by any other writer--and Ovid was among the very first poets I ever tried to translate. Every new translation I read sends me back to the original.
In his Metamorphoses, Ovid tells the story of Hermaphroditus watched by the nymph Salmacis as he slips into the water for a solitary swim:
ille cavis velox adplauso corpore palmis desilit in latices alternaque bracchia ducens in liquidis translucet aquis ...
which, in about as literal a rendition as can make more than pony sense, goes:
rapid he, having slapped [his] body with hollow palms dives into liquids and leading alternate arms [he] gleams through liquid waters ...
This is all very well. It seems clear enough what Hermaphroditus is doing--"leading alternate arms"--it is the overarm stroke that we call freestyle or the crawl. (1) He is not merely swimming, but swimming with a particular action that calls up a specific visual image. Ovid's specificity here is far clearer than the simple abstraction "swim," which can lead to the kind of mistaken picture I had created of my wife in the YMCA pool.
An act of translation is not simply a rendering of a text. It is also a distillation of the translator's own cultural and personal experience. The coincidence of my own experience and a contemplation of the Latin text led me to look at translations of Ovid's lines not so much for what they tell us about the poet, but for what they reveal about his translators. Note that Ovid does not write that Hermaphroditus is swimming, and yet a casual reader retelling the story might easily summarize the action with that generalization, and then translate it back into his or her own concept of the action. And this is precisely what Ovid's translators have done.
Ovid's sixteenth-century English translator Arthur Golding (whom Shakespeare read) understood the action in a way that seems completely at odds with Ovid himself, when he writes:
He clapping with his hollow hands against his naked sides, Into the water lithe and baine with armes displayed glydes. And rowing with his hands and legges swimmes in the water cleare ...
"Rowing with his hands and legs" in no way describes the crawl, and Golding is specific in his physical metaphor. Why does he contradict the text here? Most likely, I guessed from the beginning, because for Golding writing in 1567, swimming was something more like our breaststroke than like the crawl, and alternating arms made no visual sense to him. He "saw" the act of swimming as I had seen my wife's, in terms that made sense to his own experience.
This guess was confirmed for me a year after my original speculative plunge in Laurel Lake, when the poet Jared Carter of land-locked Indianapolis sent me a book-length essay on swimming by Charles Sprawson. From this book, I learned that, in England,
swimmers had adopted as the model for style the actions of the frog, which had displaced the dog that had been the inspiration until the Elizabethan age ... The cult of the breaststroke lasted until the end of the nineteenth century.
"Rowing with his hands and legs" describes a breaststroke as well as can be. It is clearly not Ovid's Roman stroke, but it is recognizably competent swimming.
What are we to make of Rolfe Humphries' version, which has Hermaphroditus "flailing through the water," in as great a departure from the Latin original as Golding's? Clearly, either the swimmer or the translator is completely at sea, and I venture that Humphries was no swimmer at all, at least in his imagination, and had little pictorial sense of the necessary strokes.

Hermaphroditus, in a recent translation by Allen Mandelbaum, shows us the motion even more specifically than Ovid himself does, but the explicit left and right help recover an effect lost from the Latin word order--the ability to convey a back-and-forth, alternating movement by the placement of adjectives and nouns:
With hollow palms he claps his sides, then dives with grace into the waves; his left, his right arms alternating strokes; he glides ...
Mandelbaum takes that gliding motion from Golding, but restores the Roman overarm stroke. The gliding in both of their translations is an interesting reduction of Ovid's moving picture. In the original, the body is seen glistening in the water, it shines through (translucet) like a fish. "Gliding" puts the emphasis back on the swimming motion itself.
A. D. Melville's 1986 translation uses the abstract word Ovid ignores:
He clapped his hollow palms against his sides And dived into the pool and, as he swam Arm over arm, gleamed in the limpid water ...
as do two freer translations that do not shirk the exercise of visualizing Hermaphroditus' style. On one hand, Ted Hughes, in Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun's After Ovid, returns in an old-fashioned way to an English breaststroke and the model of the frog:
And suddenly he was swimming, a head bobbing, Chin surging through the build of a bow-wave, Shoulders liquefied, Legs as if at home in the frog's grotto ...
while David R. Slavitt's water nymph Salmacis watches him
dive into the pool and swim with strong arms that cut the water and legs that kicked the clear water to froth ...
which is a clearly imagined crawl, allowing for some lack of discipline in the scissors kick.
But can we be sure of our visual picture from Ovid himself? Another line of inquiry set me wondering what our classical forebears saw when they translated the word "swimming" into action, if indeed they used such a word at all. (Remember that Ovid doesn't.) If the overarm stroke comes to us only from the South Pacific and only in relatively modern times--as many, including Sprawson, seem to think--what did swimmers in the Mediterranean basin do? Happily, there is evidence that Sprawson is mistaken. According to Dr. Phillip Whitten, "An ancient Egyptian wall relief clearly shows soldiers of Ramses II using an overarm stroke to pursue their Hittite enemies across the Orontes River more than 3,200 years ago." (The breaststroke, according to Dr. Whitten, has been depicted "on rock drawings, friezes, and pottery throughout the world.")
And Ovid's older contemporary Propertius also closely describes the act of swimming without naming it, "teneat clausam tenui Teuthrantis in unda/alternae facilis cedere lympha manu," which I would roughly put: "Let the fresh spring water of Teuthra hold you in its weak wave/easy to move one hand after the other." "One hand after the other" may be that same alternus (-a, -um) of Ovid's "alternate arms." Vincent Katz translates alternae manu as "arm over arm," yet the difference between Ovid's arm and Propertius' hand may be more nuanced and exact than Katz allows. The motion seems to be the same motion--but perhaps, after all, closer to my wife's dog-paddling than to a full-bodied crawl.
One other Ovidian, the nymph Arethusa, also gets caught in the act of swimming. But, either from different individual characterization, or else because she is female (and yet Propertius' imagined swimmer is also a woman), the poet describes her exercise less as an athletic action than as aimless play:
... ferioque trahoque mille modis labens excussaque bracchia iacto.
For the record, here is how our translators render these lines. Sir Arthur Golding finds Arethusa more purposeful than the others:
And threw my selfe amid the streame, which as I dallyingly Did beate and draw, and with my selfe a thousand maistries trie, In casting of mine armes abrode and swimming wantonly.
Rolfe Humphries, the ideational non-swimmer, is obviously at no disadvantage here, but is again, distantly vaguer than anyone else: "I beat the waters/With one stroke and another, and turned and glided," while Allen Mandelbaum gets most caught up in the act itself: "I strike those waters in a thousand ways,/dividing, joining, splashing as I play,/my arms withdrawing, plunging in." Slavitt turns self-consciously metaphorical: "Naked,/but not thinking about it, I was a child, a fish,/swimming and plunging, floating, enjoying myself." (Melville 's Arethusa
dropped Into the water, plunging to and fro In countless twists and turns ... I flung My arms and gaily gambolled there)
None of these quite catches the random flailing of the poet's own original word order, nor his eight-word succinctness. And none responsibly systematizes Arethusa's activity in a stroke we can confidently recognize.
An amateur Homeric scholar searched further back in time and literature for me. We both recalled a great deal of swimming in The Odyssey but found only one reference. (Odysseus, obeying the first rule of water safety, clings to the wreckage of his boats as long as he can.) In Book V, when Odysseus is shipwrecked, he is urged (according to Robert Fagles) by Leucothea to "strip off those clothes and leave your craft ... strike out with your arms for landfall there," but delays doing so until there is nothing left to cling to, and then he "dove headfirst into the sea, stretched his arms and stroked for life itself." The extension of his arms may be swimming, as Fagles understands it--or it may be the very act of diving, which is also the votive posture of a Greek supplicant, as A. S. Kline translates: Odysseus "arms outstretched plunged into the sea, prepared to swim."
There must be pictures, both Greek and Roman, of classical swimmers, but I have not seen these.
And ultimately, does it matter? In conversation, Mr. Slavitt mockingly raised this question with me--who cares how Hermaphroditus, or any other actual or mythological ancient, swam? My answer can come only from my own experience as a reader, a translator, and a swimmer. As a reader, I want to know what's really going on. As a translator, I want to be faithful to my text. As a swimmer, breasting the surf off Nantucket recently, I suddenly noticed that there is a difference which stroke I use. In broken water, I prefer the frontal, visual control of a breaststroke, while in placid water, I like to give myself over to the smooth, powerful draw of a crawl. Let us assume--and this is hardly a rash assumption, in spite of the cultural historians--that Ovid knew everything we know about swimming, and chose deliberately as I would choose. Now the careful reader sees how the stroke is part of the description of the limpid waters in which Hermaphroditus swims. If we know how he is swimming, we know where he is swimming. Poet that he is, Ovid has been telling us more than one thing at once.
But, of course, this interpretation rests on the cultural underpinnings and idiosyncrasies of my own life. (3)

1. The origin of the word "crawl" is itself a product of literary imagination. As Dr. Phillip Whitten tells the story in his Complete Book of Swimming (Random House, 1994): "In 1893 a young man named Harry Wickham ... learned the stroke while visiting the island of Rubiana. He taught it to his twelve-year-old brother, Alick, who caught the eye of George Farmer, a local swim coach. The story goes that Farmer, astounded by the boy's speed and his unorthodox technique, exclaimed, 'Look at that bloke crawling on the water!'"
2. Another non-swimmer would seem to be Richard Lattimore, who has Odysseus as having thrown himself "head first into the water, and with arms spread/stroked as hard as he could." How a person can stroke "with arms spread" must be a mystery to anyone who has ever tried to move through water, with or without the magic girdle of a goddess.
3. Again, for the record:
... striking His hands against his sides, he leaped and dived Overhand stroke, into the pool ... --Horace Gregory (Signet, 1958) The young man, cupping his palms and slapping his torso, swiftly jumped down into the pool. As his arms flashed out in alternate strokes, his body gleamed in the glassy water ... --David Raeburn (Penguin, 2004) And after splashing water on his body with his cupped palms, he dives into the pond, and breaks the surface with an easy crawl ... --Charles Martin (Norton, 2004)

Messi is delighted the Arsenal striker is moving to the Nou Camp and told El Mundo Deportivo: "Henry is fantastic, for that reason he comes to Barca. A player of his quality, who has won so much and is still only 30 years old is no gamble for a club the size of Barca.
"Titi has demonstrated during all these years that he's a great one. Cesc [Fabregas] always says that Titi is fantastic in training and even better off the field, as a friend and a leader."
Messi added: "To me, the presence of Henry does not worry me, I'm no longer a boy and I know my qualities. I do not know how we will play, that is an aspect that must be solved by [coach Frank] Rijkaard."

Portsmouth City Manager Derek Allen says he will respond to points cited by Auditor of State Dave Yost's office, and will, additionally put together a new recovery plan for the city of Portsmouth, following a letter from Robert R. Hinkle, chief deputy auditor.
In his letter, Hinkle reminds Allen the state had elevated the city of Portsmouth to fiscal watch status on Nov. 30, 2012, because the city had not made reasonable proposals or taken action to discontinue or correct the fiscal practices or budgetary condition that prompted the declaration of fiscal caution on Nov. 22, 2011.
On Aug. 8, 2013, then-Mayor David Malone submitted a Financial Recovery Plan which had been approved by Portsmouth City Council to the Auditor of State's office. That plan contained eight major actions that were to be implemented from the first quarter of 2013 through the fourth quarter of 2014.
"Based upon the meeting held with you (Allen) and the City Solicitor (John Haas) on July 120, 2014, to monitor, review, and discuss the progress of the actions in the plan, it was determined that the progress made in these important matters to date is disappointing," Hinkle said. He then listed eight actions, and commented on the outcomes - many of the comments were negative.
Allen is disputing some of the facts listed in the correspondence and says he is preparing a response to those assessments as well as a Revised Financial Recovery Plan.
The Daily Times asked Allen why the original plan submitted to the state by Malone was not followed.
"It wasn't attainable," Allen said. "It just wasn't workable. I'm going to prepare a new plan."
Hinkle said, "Representatives from the Local Government Section (LGS) of the Auditor of State's office have been monitoring the city's progress of the implementation of those actions that were included in the Plan. They have found that little or no progress has been made."

Shoal draft keel versus regular fin keel

So, here is a wierd situation; check out the S2 9.1 on yachtworld (YW# 22624-1744489) Turns out the driving reason it is approx $10k under normal asking price is that they have turned a fin keel into a shoal draft by cutting of about a foot and adding a bulb. It is reported to be a very clean job and looks ok in the pictures. My initial reaction (and 2nd, 3rd, etc.) is to run away butt.....
This is not that unusual. In an earlier post I mentioned Mars Metals, which is a company that does this. They are known locally for the "Mars Bulb", which is a hydrodynamically designed torpedo type of bulb put on the bottom of fin keels. The weight, placement and shape of the bulb are carefully calculated based on the shape of the hull and keel.
It is my understanding that they started doing this in order to compensate for weight lost when some die-hard racers decided to modify the shape of their fins, shortening the chord in an attempt to emulate boats such as the Mumm and Mount Gay.
It has also been done for some people who have grown tired of running aground in shallow waters. I don't think you should discount the boat because of this, it would be worth researching who did it, and how much time and thought was put into it.
I would not discount this boat based on the keel alone. It looks like a professional casting...

Weekly Snapshot: Murray Goes For London Hat-trick; Rafa, Roger Lead Halle Field
by Matt Fitzgerald|
Tap into the essentials of the week ahead and re-live the highlights of the past week with our Weekly Snapshot, as we serve up an executive summary of what every fan should know, along with a look at the best in social media.
Who's Playing This Week?
There are two ATP World Tour 250 events in Halle and London.
Gerry Weber Open: World No. 2 Rafael Nadal and No. 3 Roger Federer lead a strong field. Nadal makes his first event appearance since 2005, while Federer chases his sixth tournament title and first since 2008. Seventh-ranked Tomas Berdych, the 2007 champion and defending titlist Philipp Kohlschreiber, are among the competitors looking to prevent a Nadal/Federer final clash.
Facebook | Website
AEGON Championships: Fourth-ranked Andy Murray returns to London as the reigning champion at The Queen's Club, looking to win his third trophy on home soil. World No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who finished runner-up to Murray in last year's final, eighth-ranked Janko Tipsarevic, and four-time former winners Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt also feature in the draw.

Player To Watch: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
The fifth-ranked Tsonga enters the AEGON Championships on the back of his best run at Roland Garros, where he held four match points against top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals before being downed by the Serbian in five sets. Tsonga enjoyed great success on grass in 2011, reaching the final at The Queen's Club (l. to Murray) and advancing to his first Wimbledon semi-final by handing six-time champion Roger Federer his first defeat with a two-set lead in the final eight at the All England Club.

Growth of graded noetherian rings
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We show that every graded locally finite right noetherian algebra has sub-exponential growth. As a consequence, every noetherian algebra with exponential growth has no finite dimensional filtration which leads to a right (or left) noetherian associated graded algebra. We also prove that every connected graded right noetherian algebra with finite global dimension has finite GK-dimension. Using this, we can classify all connected graded noetherian algebras of global dimension two.

Statue of King Tut's grandfather revealed
The second of a pair of statues showing King Tut's grandfather was revealed at the tomb where he was buried, Egypt's Minister of State for Antiquities announced.

The second of a pair of fallen statues of King Tut's grandfather has been revealed at the tomb where he was buried, Egypt's antiquities minister announced May 31.
The alabaster statue shows Amenhotep III seated and wearing a Nemes headdress, a pleated kilt and a royal beard, according to minister Zahi Hawass. The Nemes headdress is the striped cloth that drapes down behind a pharaoh's ears and over his shoulders. [Image of Amenhotep III statue]
It was discovered at Kom el-Hettan, on the west bank of Luxor. The statue is located in the passageway leading to the funerary temple's third gate, or pylon, some 200 meters (656 feet) behind the Colossi of Memnon, which guarded the first gate.
These archaeological discoveries continue to shed light on King Tutankhamen, the boy king who ruled Egypt from 1333 B.C. to 1324 B.C., during the period of ancient Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. Though Tut is the best-known of the Egyptian pharaohs, many mysteries still exist about his parentage as well as his life and death.
"The statue is the northern one of a pair of colossi that were once placed at the gate of the third pylon," Hawass wrote in his blog. A previous excavation revealed the back of one of the two statues' thrones.
Both statues probably collapsed during an ancient earthquake, Hawass said, though parts of them were still visible in a layer of sediment. The other parts will be gradually uncovered for conservation, and the statue will stand restored in its original location in the near future.
The statue pair are unique in their well-carved alabaster, according to Hourig Sourouzian, who is mission leader of the Colossi of Memnon and Amenhotep III Temple Conservation Project. The stone, hewn in the quarries of Hatnub in Middle Egypt, was rarely used for such colossal statues. The pair of statues from Kom el-Hettan are the only preserved examples of their size, reaching an estimated height of 59 feet (18 m).
Another statue of Tut's grandfather, this one a depiction in red granite, was reported in October 2010 and showed the king wearing a double crown and seated on a throne next to the Theban god Amun.

A Miami anti-aging clinic's list is linked to several MLB players and is accusing 3-time MVP Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, 2012 All Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Bartolo Colon and Yasmani Grandal of purchasing performance enhancing drugs in 2011 and 2012. The Miami New Times has released the list after a three month investigation. The list was given to them by an employee from Biogenesis of America, in Coral Gables, FL and shows evidence that human growth hormones, steroids and testosterone were all sold to the players. Handwritten notebooks filled out by the company's boss, Anthony Bosch (pictured above), also serve as proof that Biogenesis of America was a major supplier of performance enhancing drugs (P.E.Ds). Alex Rodriguez, whose name appears 16 times in the Bosch document, has come clean about his P.E.D use from 2001-2003, but he is denying any involvement with the current scandal. A-Rod's public relations firm has come out with a statement, saying The news repo...
