Would you please help me find an example of a man of the Neolithic Age?
Dr. dig responds:
Here is just the Neolithic man for you! He is called the Ice Man and his frozen remains were recently discovered in the Alps. A lot of
research has been done on his remains and of the items he was carrying before his unfortunate death on the snow-covered mountains.
There are now several books on the Ice Man that you should be able to find in your school or public library. The books are well
illustrated and will tell you all about his discovery and conservation. To find him in your library look in the card catalogue under the
heading "ICE MAN" or search for him on the web.
Where did Otzi come from?
Ötzi the Ice Man was found near Hauslabjoch in the Ötzal Alps in September 1991 by two walkers. The Ice Man died approximately 5200 years ago. At death he was between 40 and 50 years old and suffered from a number of medical conditions. He turned into a mummy accidentally almost immediately by the freezing weather conditions that turned him into the Ice Man. Scientists believe that Ötzi was caught in a heavy snowfall, fell asleep, and froze to death. Scientists have concluded this because there were no signs of predator attacks. They believe that the body must have been covered with snow almost immediately.
How old was Ötzi?
If Ötzi were alive today, he would be about 5,300 years old! Archaeologists have determined that Ötzi was an adult male between 25 and 40 when he died.
How can you tell that the "iceman" is about 5,300 years old?
The first clues to how old the Ice Man was came from many of the tools and objects found with him. The stone ax and stone knife found with him were similar to other stone tools found elsewhere and which are thousands of years old.
A more exact date was given using a scientific test called Carbon 14 dating that can tell the age of almost anything that ever lived - dead animals, dead people, plants, or things like cloth, which comes from living matter. The Carbon 14 dating test showed that the Ice Man must be about 5,300 years old.
How cold was it when the iceman was found?
The iceman was found at the end of a warm summer in the Alps. Usually the Alps are covered in snow, even in summer, but it had been an especially warm year and a great deal of the snow and ice had melted. Temperatures, therefore, must have been above freezing (32 degrees fahrenheit or above) for numbers of weeks in order for him to have been exposed.
I do not actually know what the temperature was on the day he was found, but the temperatures must have remained around freezing because the ice mummy did not rot and he had to be extracted from the ice with a jack hammer!
Are Ötzi's internal organs still intact or have they taken him apart to study him? Does the ice man have any legs? What is the coolest looking artifact?
Dr. dig responds:
Archaeologists have not taken the ice man apart to study him, although they have examined the contents of his stomach and other internal
organs by taking tiny samples of his body and looking at the remains under the microscope. The ice man's legs are still intact.
Ötzi's ax was made of copper which provided archaeologists with the best clue in determining the age of Otzi's body. The Ice Man and his big copper ax
were more than 5,000 years old!
Why was the "iceman" so well preserved?
Dr. dig responds:
We put food in the freezer to help it keep longer. Freezing slows down the rotting process. Our home freezers aren't very cold though, and after six months or so, the frozen food eventually goes off - or begins to rot. But inside glaciers and in some very, very cold places where the temperature is really cold and the ice never melts, remains of plants and animals are preserved, sometimes for thousands of years. As long as the remains are kept completely frozen, the process of decay cannot take place. When Otzi was removed from the ice, his body quickly began to rot and scientists had to put him into a deep freezer. His remains are now on display in a museum in Italy - but bring your coat - the room where he is kept is climate controlled and cold to keep him from decaying any further.
What messages does the evidence of multiple types of Moss and Plants give us about the Iceman?
Dr. dig responds:
From an analysis of the plant remains in his little satchel, the moss stuffed in his boots, the contents of his stomach, archaeologists have been able to make some pretty good guesses about where he comes from, what he ate, his health, and more generally about the ancient environment of the Alps. From an identification of the mosses, for example, archaeologists believe that he came from a nearby valley in Italy where these mosses grow in abundance today.
You can find out even more if you go to the following resources:
Jim Dickson, the archaeobotanist who studied the plant remains recovered from Ötzi's body wrote these two very informative websites, though they are somewhat scholarly. www.gla.ac.uk/Acad/IBLS/DEEB/jd/otzi.htm and www.gla.ac.uk/Acad/IBLS/DEEB/jd/iceman.htm
Nova Online: www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/icemummies/iceman.html
How are you going to find out how the Ice Man died?
Dr. dig responds:
Archaeologists believe that the Ice Man died from the cold and his frozen body lay where it died until it was found in 1991.
We cannot ever know the exact circumstances of his death because the Ice Man can't tell us himself! But we can make some good guesses based on where he was found, what he was wearing, the condition of his body, and even the contents of his stomach which tells us what he last had to eat.
How do they know what he looked like?
Dr. dig responds:
Archaeologists can guess what Otzi may have looked like from the shape of his skull, his teeth and jawline, the color of his hair which survives and any other remaining features. The way archaeologists are able to recreate the likenesses of ancient people from their remains is called forensic archaeology. Forensic archaeology is based on methods used by policemen when they need to identify murder victims.
How tall was the Ice Man?
Dr. dig responds:
Judging from the remains of his body and the size and strength of his bones, the ice man was approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall - about the size of most of your sixth graders, in fact!
What do you think is the best book about Otzi the ice man?
Frozen Man (1994) by David Getz is a well-researched book about Ötzi for children. Five chapters take the reader through
the Ice Man's discovery in the Ötzal Alps near the Italian-Austrian border, the dating of the body, the first autopsies and tests of the body, his
clothing and equipment, and an imagining of his last day. The only problem is that it is somewhat out-of-date (mostly the last chapter on his
imaginary last day--since new findings have put this scenario in doubt). Still, it is the best book about Ötzi for children. Well-written and easy to
follow, the book is most suited for children in grades 3-6. Four color photos and many line drawings and charts. With glossary and pronunciation
guide, bibliography, and index.
So much has happened to Ötzi in the last few years that many books are out of date. Recent findings have altered scientists original impression.
Keep on the look out for newer books that rely on up to the minute information to find out more about this remarkable mummy!
A list of resources will be found on the website of The Mummy Tombs when you go to www.mummytombs.com. You may also want to visit Nova Online to read a reporters account of the discovery at www.pbs.org.
Who were the people that stumbled on Ötzi and did they get any money for finding him?
The Iceman was discovered by accident by hikers in the Alps. Though they received a lot of attention for their discovery, they did not receive any money for finding him. I do not know for certain whether or not newspapers paid them for interviews.

Wine making time
Chef and I have been making beer, wine and soda for some time now. This year we decided to try to make wine the old fashion way (we have always used kits). So we gathered a few friends who enjoy wine and wine making and had a grape crushing party. We bought 13 cases of old vine zin and 5 cases cab. Well the press was taking to long and we had to start pressing and crushing with our hands (we started to press at 6pm in our driveway - opps its gets dark!!) We had the best time, lots of laughs and comments about 'I love Lucy"...and no we did not use our feet.
I now have a 92 gallon tub in the basement frementing the juice, skins and vines. In a few weeks we will press again and dispose of the solids. Hopefully we will be enjoying some great wine by the first of the year.
Who else makes wine....any tips or tricks???
Re: Wine making time
Hey Chef,
We used to own a micro vineyard in Healdsburg, and I've made a lot of wine. I found it pretty difficult compared with beer.
If I could add a couple of things it would be to keep everything really, really clean; take care measuring your sulfites and adding them according to the method you are following; and take care punching down the cap. If the top of the must ever gets dry during your bulk fermentation you will breed bad tasting bacteria. Leave it on the skins longer if you want color and tannin.
We ended up selling our grapes on contract to a good Pinot Noir winemaker, and he did some great things with it:
He ran the stemmer crusher really slowly, so that the grapes did not break. That promoted fermentation inside the whole grapes -- which burst under the pressure. He also made his wine completely on wild yeast on the grape skins -- which required hours and hours of massaging the must to distribute the less active wild yeast to effectively crowd out the bacteria.
Let us know how it goes. There's nothing like having your own wine throughout the year.
Re: Wine making time
We too are making the wine with wild yeast and no additives. Under the watchful eyes of my dad and his friend who have been making wine together for 35 years. Dads friend Vito is from Modena Italy and was doing this for many years before that; Vito is 76 years old so he is a fountain of information and wisdom on this subject. We are very careful to sterilize EVERYTHING that touches the grape, and we stir the grape at least twice a day and have the tub covered with a sheet.
Even with all that we are still nervous that this will be "drinkable" - if not all is not lost maybe we can make vinegar
Thanks for your tips as Vito told us what to do but you have filled in the whys.
Re: Wine making time
Are you adding sulfites to the wine? I think it is pretty difficult for us amateurs to to make a nice wine without it.
Re: Wine making time
Re: Wine making time
no sulfites....we were going to but Vito and Dad said no. So we are doing it that way and praying this works. They have never added sulfites and never had a bad batch of wine, they also consume all they make with in a year (70 - 80 gallons)!! They have lots of friends who "help" them consume the wine!!!
Re: Wine making time
How about temperature. The old-fashioned good year/bad year for wine typically had as much to do with the temperature the two weeks after the harvest as it did with the weather during the growing season. A hot spell can turn a batch of fermenting must into something that tastes like prune juice. Is it hot?
Modern wineries have fixed that with temperature controlled fermentation tanks. European white wine has changed dramatically over the past 15-odd years. Like good bread, boutique wineries will seriously cool their grapes (cold soak) right after harvest to stunt bacteria development and give the wild yeast a long time to work on the grapes without developing off smells and tastes.
Bread, wine and better. They're all the same thing. :-)
Re: Wine making time
James we are keeping the basement at 70 for the 1st fermentaion and 65 for the 2nd.
Re: Wine making time
I can't wait to hear more. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Re: Wine making time
Well tomorrow at 9am the gang will gather in the basement for the second pressing Dad came over today and gave us the go ahead! When Chef Phil stirs the grape twice per day the smell of the grape/wine rises from the basement and up into the house. I swear when I'm down stairs I get drunk! So I think we are on our way to making real wine, not vinegar!!
Will take some photos tomorrow and post.

Is technology outrunning the ability of the courts to regulate it? A judge who last week reinstated the whistle-blowing site Wikileaks certainly thinks so.
Wikileaks uses a series of encrypted servers to allow people to post documents anonymously. On 15 February, judge Jeffrey White of the Federal District Court in San Francisco ordered the closure of www.wikileaks.org, the site's US domain. But this led to an outcry from pressure groups who said the shutdown restricted free speech. Though the judge reversed his order on 29 February, he said that technology was letting some people "do some terrible things without accountability".
Julius Baer, a Swiss bank, had asked for Wikileaks's domain to be disabled after a former employee leaked information to it about its offshore banking practices.

LAKEMONT -- It's easy to see why he loves her. She's busty in the front and her back tapers into a perfectly round rear.
She's smooth and she glides when she moves. She's cherry bourbon and red leather and expensive. She's rare and high maintainance -- she doesn't tolerate being ignored. Some might consider her an old dame but to Bob Grigsby, she's a classic.
She's a 1942 barrel back Chris Craft mahagony motor boat, one of an estimated 80-100 vintage wooden boats on Lake Rabun. Chris Crafts, GarWoods, Dukes and other models have become a signature of this privileged pond in the north Georgia mountains, along with the designer boat houses that shelter them. (A new cookbook by the Lake Rabun Association features a painting of a wooden boat on the cover.)
On July 4th, many of the wooden motor boats will line up for the annual Wooden Boat Regatta Parade around the 9-mile lake. The parade has been a tradition for 26 years, first organized by Ray Warren back in 1978.
"The Fourth of July weekend is always a big weekend at the lake," said Grigsby. "I'll definitely be in the parade. People will decorate their boat houses and gather for cocktail parties to watch the regatta. The Lakemont Fire Department boat leads the parade and is the only boat in the parade that is not wood."
Grigsby, an Atlanta commercial realtor who has been going to Lake Rabun with family since childhood, said wood boats have been a tradition for even longer than the patriotic regatta. "My father learned to ski behind one," he recalls. "I guess it has to do with the mentality up here. You come up here to get away."
And for Grigsby and the other vintage boat enthusiasts, "getting away" means turning away from all that is modern, power and puff. They get plenty of that in Atlanta. Step into a nicely restored vintage wooden motor boat and you step back into time.
At least it's easy to pretend such, because these voluptuous vessels are the stuff of Walter Mitty dreams. Slide onto the red leather seats, crank up the inboard engine, glide across the emerald green water just fast enough to make the little Chris Craft (or GarWood or Duke) flag flutter and you are Earnest Hemingway trolling for his muse. Or maybe a beautiful movie starlet, with Jackie-O sunglasses, ruby red lips and a matching red scarf draped over your hair and knotted underneath the chin, sipping in the sunset along with a gin martini.
We're talking about style here.
"It's true," said Ben Jennings of Atlanta, whose family owns a Chris Craft. "At the risk of sounding like a boat snob, the new boats just don't have any style to them. They all look like Pacers (ugly, ill-fated compact cars) to me."
An accurate registry of wooden boats in the country is hard to come by, but the estimated 80-100 wooden boats on Lake Rabun combined with the three dozen or so wooden boats on Lake Burton make north Georgia the (unofficial) capital of wooden boats in the South and among the top areas in the country.
Though all the boats on Lake Rabun were made of wood back in the early 1900s (the lake was created in 1915), none of the originals exist today. The older boats that date back to the 1920s-1940s were purchased elsewhere and transported to north Georgia.
But as fiberglass and outboard motors became more the norm, wooden boats became the second or third boat one might own, after a ski boat, pontoon boat or fishing boat. And truth is today, there are more fiberglass boats on the water at Lake Rabun than wooden ones because fiberglass boats come in a variety of models and price ranges and are much easier to maintain. "I've noticed a lot of the new families up here stick with fiberglass," Grigsby said. "I guess wood boats are an acquired taste."
Like most things, once you've acquired the taste, it's hard to want anything but the finest. That's what pleases Grigsby so about his rare Chris Craft -- one of a few because only 14 or 15 Chris Crafts were made in 1942 before war interrupted production. Of those, six are accounted for and two are on Lake Rabun. The boat came from Maine via Connecticut and first spent time in the hands of Jud Law, a passionate wooden boat restorer who has nurtured many of the vintage boats on the lake. (Ben McCracken at Hall's Boat House also does restorations.)
With a snowy cap of hair and sun-weathered face, Law has that old man and the sea look. He likes to take his time when restoring a boat and "do it right." After more than 30 years of working on boats, he's slowed down to some personal projects and maintenance work.
But as he uncovers a 1932 GarWood suspended on a boat lift and lowers it for a better view, the brilliant glint in Law's eyes lights up the shady boat house.
"This is totally original. It has never had a full restoration," he said of the impeccably maintained 25-foot, triple cockpit mahagony boat. There are two rows of seats in the front and one more in the back --behind the rare 202 Scripps engine -- with it's own windshield. The cherry-brown wood is encased in 26 layers of thick varnish. The instrument panel charms with it's simplicity -- no computerized gadgets or buttons to push.
Because each boat is different and the older ones require careful restoration work, Law said "it's hard to put a price on a lot of them." A quick search on the internet found vintage Chris Crafts for sale between $10,000 and $50,000. But often, once the cost of restoration is added on, both Grigsby and Jennings said it's not unusual to see the price on a collectible boat climb over the $100,000 mark.
Lindsey Hopkins said "I pay huge gobs of money to let people help me with my boats." But it's clear he's an enthusiast. In his boat house at the moment he has a 1937 Duke Playmate and a 1946 GarWood. He also has two Dodges and, in the non-motorized category, two Wee Lassies, which are handmade wooden canoes.
Like all true believers, Hopkins, Grigsby and Law swear there's more to the boats than their classy looks. "There's no comparison in the ride of a wooden boat and a fiberglass boat," Law said. "Wooden boats are quieter, they run smoother. The harmonics are different. They are just better."

Skin Prints strives to provide a safe, clean & friendly atmosphere for tattooing and piercing, serving the greater Chippewa Valley since 1994. Skin Prints was started and continues to be helmed to this day by tattoo artist and piercer Josi Paulson. We have a wide range of experience that can meet just about any artistic need. Our artists all vary in style and specialty, so be sure to check out our portfolios when making a decision with your next tattoo!
Custom tattoos tend to require more effort and planning, so we always encourage our clients to set up a consultation with an artist before making a tattoo appointment. Consults are available Monday through Thursday, depending on artist availability. While a consultation doesn't cost the client anything per se, the artist may require a deposit for the design, set at their discretion.
Due to the growing amount of subpar work done locally and homemade in recent years needing to be reworked, we require a consult for any coverup projects due to the unique challenges they present.
Wisconsin State law requires that one be 18 or older to receive tattoo work. Nobody here will tattoo minors, so don't ask. One must be 16 or older to receive body piercings: minors 16-17 need to be accompanied in person with a parent or legal guardian, with both parties providing a valid photo ID with matching surname and address. Yearbook photos, old birth certificates, etc. will not be accepted in lieu of a photo ID. We will not make any exceptions to this whatsoever, and appeals to our good nature will fall on deaf ears.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason. Anyone who appears to be impaired by drugs or alcohol will be refused outright.
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied at ALL TIMES by a parent or guardian. NO MINORS (this also includes babies, toddlers, small children, etc.) are allowed in procedure rooms under any circumstances. Our staff is comprised of trained professionals, not pro bono babysitters.
Pets are not allowed. Sorry.
We consistently meet or surpass requirements set in place by the health department; While we utilize modern sterilization techniques, we are favoring more and more disposable equipment and supplies to cut down on a need for an autoclave. This allows a cleaner, safer working environment for both the artist and client. Imagine our shock when we learned that apparently you can get certified for using common sense?
While we happily accommodate friends and family of our clientele, we encourage you to keep visitors to one at a time. We have a small lobby and it's surprising how quick a little room can smell like feet and become deafeningly loud.

acute renal failure (ARF) occurs when an obstruction
in the urinary tract below the kidneys causes waste to build
up in the kidneys. Postrenal acute renal failure accounts for
about 5 out of 100 acute renal failure cases.1
blockage in the
urinary tract may cause urine to build up in one or both kidneys. Over time,
this fluid buildup can prevent the normal flow of urine out of the kidney.
Conditions that may lead to postrenal acute renal failure include:
Postrenal acute renal failure requires immediate treatment.
When detected early, it usually can be reversed by removing or bypassing the
obstruction in the urinary tract, before any permanent damage to the kidneys
Most people regain normal kidney function if the condition is reversed
If the obstruction is not relieved, the waste buildup
and pressure on the kidneys may damage kidney tissue. Acute renal failure is
much harder to reverse after damage to the kidneys has occurred.

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 12/18/12
ESPN's Chad Ford is speculating that Danny Ainge and the Celtics could make a run at out of favor Sacramento King Tyreke Evans. The Kings are a mess and Evans' style of play doesn't help things, and, again, his stock is so low, I'm not sure what the value will be. One team to watch is the Celtics -- Danny Ainge loved him before the draft. I'm not sure Boston has the assets to get a deal done, but I could see them trying to make something happen. Tyreke is a talent, but the biggest red flag here is that he's another 2 guard and the Celtics are a team full of 2 guards. Ainge was rumored to have tried to trade Rajon Rondo to move up to draft Evans a few years back, so Ford is correct to mention the Celtics as a possible suitor. Tyreke's best season was his rookie year, which is never a good sign (See Eric Montross). My guess is that the Kings would ask for Avery Bradley (which the Celtics shouldn't do) or Jared Sullinger (which would only make sense as part of a larger deal possibl...

This is a color 8mm film of Seigo Yamaguchi, 8th dan, shot by Alain Guerrier during a class at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo c. 1975. The quality is quite good considering the early date of this video. Yamaguchi Sensei was one of the most important of the first generation of aikido instructors of the postwar era. He taught at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo for several decades until his passing in 1996…

Maid Club [English, 169 pictures, Complete], by O.RI10 June 2010, by Oliver AKA The Admin
With a lot of thanks to Yoroshii, here is the COMPLETE Maid Club manga, a 100% maids volume The scenario is paper-thin, if you enjoy the drawings, go for it !
A precision maybe, I had shared previously an incomplete version of Maid Club (the chapters 1-3, I think), but to my great happiness, Yoroshii's version seems to be a different scan, and it's of higher quality :3
For MORE, Cf. The list of O.RI's works on hentairules
Open the Complete Pictures Gallery (or the backup gallery)
Here comes the zip link ! Help yourselves ! ^^
(24 MB, 169 pictures, English)
(please, is there a chance you can use the depositfiles link ? That will generate a tiny bonus for me, thank you very much if that's possible for you ! :)
A bonus for you, the coupon '07xpy4r3b7eiio5108b0db12dzwmjkxm' gives a 10% discount on Depositfiles 6-months and 1-years accounts. )
Or you can also use the Alternative :
Zip Mirror #1 – or – Zip Mirror #2
I save the useless chat for the bottom of the post, this time
If O.RI isn't familiar to you, please give that artist a chance. The drawings are halfway between censored and uncensored, with a talent for drawing shapes but not internal details, for avoiding to have to draw too much and then impose censorship bars… This is puzzling, but not unpleasant. However, Maid Club is the least well drawn of O.RI's works.
Now, another problem. The maids. Sometimes they rock and give the reader a titanium-plated boner, sometimes they seem to miss their target – I'm afraid that's the problem with Maid Club.
This is what annoys me with maids. Why would women deliberately decide to be slaves in mind, wagging their tails at their Master like a domestic dog looking with adoration at his master ? I mean, maids are hot by principle, but when they overdo it, I kinda lose my willing suspension of disbelief (a splendid expression reminded to me by Andate, a Hentairules visitor).
I'd love the idea of fucking a maid, that is to say a hot young woman with hot clothes and knowing she's got to go by my whims but she likes it and that's why she accepts to work as a maid… But when the maid is more than brainwashed, when her mind is closer to that of a dog with a wagging tail than to a normal adult woman, what is this, ridiculously biased, or bestiality ?
I was struck by a dialogue in Dr House, in which a patient with a hyper-high IQ comments on having sex with a girl whose IQ is very low, this idiot comments that her IQ is closer to that of a monkey than to his own, and he felt like it was bestiality.
I give this Dr House example to say that I know I'm overreacting, I know… But still, maids with the mind of a dog wagging his tail, that is going too far in my tastes :-/
Hey, now that I think of it, this is also why I feel ill at ease with the Cheers volumes, by Charlie Nikishima ! You've got energetic characters, with talents ready to bloom, and they waste it on empty activities bearing no fruit at all, running around in circles, in vain, doing nothing useless for them or for the community, nothing lasting at all.
Damn, once again, I started writing a novel. Oh well, if you read it, it's your fault anyway

Be fast ! And don't cry if someone else activated the key before you
In case you're hyper lucky : don't activate this key IF you already have an active golden account, it seems it won't cumulate. Selfishness is bad :|
And, you know, I have grown used to receiving a "thank you" from the person who benefitted from the key, don't break the trend if you're the winner ! Gratitude is the fuel powering me, don't forget that.
to grab the file you want. You can just pick the stuff you need, it's quick and easy :)

thx for the points
Well worth reading the whole post AND I get a depositfiles account! Thank you very much
I know it may not be his best work, but it still has *maids*, so I'm still going to like it, even if the maids act like brainwashed puppies. Many thanks Yoroshii and Oliver.
Why is the free Gold Account link at the ver bottom of the page? Is it kind of like a hidden reward for those who look at the entire page, and are then curious or adventurous enough to click the link?
Oliver said "I give this Dr House example to say that I know I'm overreacting, I know… But still, maids with the mind of a dog wagging his tail, that is going too far in my tastes :-/"
Nah man, u are not overreacting. U got the point in ur post. What i will say is – man needs woman, male needs female, as they are BOTH animals rather than human being. Just the looks is not enough to be called human being, a man or woman.
You liked it ? Hated it ? You've got additional information and links ? Or did you see broken links (please report them, I will reupload it) ? Bring more life here, participate, add a comment ;-)

Do you wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion?
Do you wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion? Or do you break those "rules"?
It depends on exactly the occasion. For things like job interviews, funerals, and the like – I absolutely would observe general rules of appropriate makeup. If, on the other hand, I know my family accepts but certainly thinks I'm prettiest in less makeup, I tend to do whatever suits me at that moment in time or how I feel.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Omg it almost glows in the dark. Got this solely for the purpose of riding after work. I'm a fairly large guy 5'10 190# got the extra large because I don't care much for form fitted style. It is comfortably snug anyway and the sleeves are kinda tight. Sliding the cuffs up to your elbows is not an option. It's super light weight like parachute material. Accomplished my goal of increasing visibility and for half the cost of most other jackets.
overall good buy
By T-Rex
from York, PA
I use this jacket for running and commuting on my bicycle (road riding). It is fairly form-fitting, very light and blocks the wind. I do lift weights and the jacket is cut fairly tight in the upper arms (roomy everywhere else). The neck would fit someone with a 17-18" neck (mine is 16" and there is room).

Jersey Shore
Is Snooki Moving in Next Door to the Jersey Shore House for Season 6? Exclusive
It looks like Snooki won't have a very long commute to work this summer. It was previously reported that America's favorite guidette, who's currently in her second trimester, won't be living in the house with her Jersey Shore cast members this season. Now, Wetpaint Entertainment can reveal that, as of today, it looks like Snooki might be moving in right next door!
"The place next to the Jersey Shore house was available to rent this year," a Seaside Heights local exclusively tells Wetpaint Entertainment. "The past few days, the crew has been coming in and out of there and bringing camera equipment with them. It definitely looks like MTV leased it."
"I don't think it's for the crew," the local adds. "Every year, the crew stays at the same hotel. It looks like the house has been rented for Snooki."
Considering Snooki's currently six months pregnant but will remain an integral part of the show, the location makes perfect sense. Adds the local, "She won't have to go far to be part of the action, but if she gets tired or needs a rest, her place will be just a few feet away."
As Wetpaint Entertainment previously reported, the cast had been under the impression that Snooki would move into the Smush Room, but we've since learned the kibosh was likely put on that plan. "Cast members, especially the guys, complained they wouldn't have anywhere to hook up," a show insider reveals. "And really, what would the Jersey Shore be without late night, post-clubbing smush sessions?"
Good point. Now, who do you think is going to borrow a cup of sugar from Snooki first?
Read more about Snooki's pregnancy.
Catch the premiere of Snooki and JWOWW's new spin-off on Thursday, June 21 on MTV.

Diving into a yawning underwater cavern is scary enough, even when the rock walls aren't shifting. Luckily, this intrepid diver knows that they aren't closing in. For that he can thank a seminal paper published 50 years ago today.
The crack is actually the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian and the North American plates under the surface of Thingvellir Lake in Iceland. It's a stunning illustration of how the movement of magma in the Earth's mantle pushes continental plates around on the surface – the subject of the paper by Drummond Matthews and his PhD student Frederick Vine, both of the University of Cambridge.
Matthews and Vine looked at how the Earth's changing magnetic field was locked into extruding lava and spread in stripes across the sea floor like pulling taffy. Their work showed that the sea floor was spreading.
This evidence, concurrently discovered by Lawrence Morley of the University of Toronto in Canada, overthrew the idea of a static Earth and awakened our understanding of our living, moving planet.
Volcanic island countries like Iceland owe their existence to such tectonic activity, and plate movements underlie major events in human societies. The constant recycling of the Earth's crust provides us with a stable climate, mineral and oil deposits and oceans with a life-sustaining balance of chemicals. It even gives evolution a kick every few hundred million years. However, the origin of the Earth's churning crust remains a mystery, with some even proposing that a comet kick-started the flow.

How to Create a Memorable Tagline
A tagline is a phrase that accompanies your brand name to quickly translate your business's positioning and brand identity into a single line (a tagline) that means something to consumers. A tagline is meant to provide consumers with an indication of your brand and its market position in just a few memorable words.
Take a moment to think about some major corporations and the taglines they have created. When you think of common brands and instantly know their tagline, thatâs a clear indication that the corporation has done an excellent job of branding.
Here are some tips on creating a memorable tagline for your business:
- Choose a headline that summarizes what your business is about. Remember: it should incorporate your brand or at least be harmonious to what your brand is about.
- A tagline is your slogan and should speak directly to your audience and customer base. Itâs not meant to be changed frequently. It is meant to be repeated over and over throughout advertising, websites, and corporate stationary.
- Pick a headline and tagline that are catchy and interesting and will compel your visitors to keep reading.
- Keep the headline short â no more than eight words. Most visitors will scan the first few words before deciding to move on. If your tagline combination is short and summarizes your content, visitors will be more likely to read on.

Well it's not one of the ones that has been suggested for the next discussion, so I think you're safe.Trish wrote:I have a request that is related to the Watch, but not to GG.
It's not a difficult surmise that "Men at Arms" will be next, but I dont' have a copy. Neither does Chapters, Waldenbooks or that other place --the library. So can we hold off on "MatA" til I get one? Please.....
Tonyblack wrote:It's interesting to imagine that this book was going to be a one-off. If that's the case then the kingship thing is undecided - Terry leaves us, the readers, to chuckle over the fact that there may be the rightful heir to the throne of A-M doing a fairly mundane job in the city. But the important thing is that he never says one way of the other.
We tend to look at G!G! with Men At Arms and the other Watch books in mind. We know that Carrot is the rightful heir from these books, but suppose G!G! was the one and only Guards book.
If that was the case then the sword is a plain, un-magical sword that is incredibly well made and sharp. The fancy sword was made to look good (as was Wonse's nephew). It looked like a king's sword should look - encrusted in jewels and very shiny. But it was probably just a piece of crap that broke the first time a real sword hit it.
So - taking G!G! as a one-off book, we simply do not have enough evidence to say whether Carrot's sword has power in the hand of a king or a leader of men. And if Terry had left the series at just that one book we would never know.
swreader wrote: It seems much more likely to me that by the time Terry finished GG, he knew perfectly well he was going to write at least M at A--there are too many questions left unanswered.
"Insisting"? No I don't think I ever insisted that was the case and no I don't have any interview qutes to support the idea that it might have been a one-off. I'll agree that G!G! left some questions that people would want to know the answer to - but they didn't have to be answered. In the same way, people are always asking Terry what happened to Esk and Simon after Equal Rites - well he didn't feel obliged or motivated to write another book about them and he could have left G!G! as it was.swreader wrote:
I know that you keep insisting that GG was intended to be (at the time he wrote it ) a one-off book. Do you have any interview quotes that support this?
we had a witch look at it. In case it was magic. But it isn't. Quite the most unmagical sword she'd ever seen, she said.
mspanners wrote:Trish ..... YOU HAVE NOT GOT ALL THE WATCH BOOKS !!!!!!
I am assuming you have not read them yet?
swreader wrote:And let me expand on the sword as literary device...
[T]he sword survives the Dragon's fire--and the plunge into the pond. It's there because Terry needs it to be there.
In the final scene with Wonse Terry is making a pointed contrast between the types of government that these two people want. Wonse's sword-- false, glittery but not real-- is a metaphor for his view of government. But Wonse is trying to kill the Patrician with that sword. It may have been false--but I suspect (and so does the Patrician) that Wonse would have killed him with that sword had Vimes not acted. The sword, then, is part of the contrast between what is being developed as a workable (if not perfect) government which takes the weaknesses and follies of the general public into account, and the self-aggrandizing government with Wonse as an eminence grise because of the contempt with which Wonse regards every one but himself.
Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
You probably are the rightful king of some country... you'll have a magic sword, only it won't look magic, you see, until it's time for you to manifest your destiny.

In streets across Iran, on rooftops late at night and city walls, the cry now is "Death to Khamenei!" and "Death to the dictator!" There is no question that the nationwide uprisings target nothing less than the foundation of Iran's ruling theocracy.
After seven months of murder, rape and torture, the arrests of hundreds of dissidents, and a brutal crackdown in the streets, the theocratic regime has failed to turn back the movement. Both the opposition and the regime are on an irreversible path that can only lead to the latter's downfall. As the opposition deepens and spreads, the political fissures at the top, including within the clergy, will also expand. There is no going back.

HIS credentials are impressive. First, he went from Harvard Law School to Piper & Marbury. Then he worked his way up through the judicial ranks from District Court to Baltimore Circuit Court to the Court of Special Appeals. Then, in 1996, he became the state's top judicial officer when he was named Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Maryland after sitting on the state's highest court for about five years.
Meet Robert M. Bell, a civil rights pioneer who in 1960, when he was just 16 years old, struck a blow at segregation by walking into a Baltimore restaurant and asking to be served. Bell's conviction for trespassing sparked a legal battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Today's DVD discs look puny already. Sony and Pioneer last week demonstrated the first erasable disc that uses a tightly focused blue laser. The short wavelength means more information can be packed in. The disc can store 22 gigabytes compared to only 4.7 gigabytes on a DVD, so it can hold 8 hours of video. The two companies are working with Philips on developing a DVR-Blue recorder for launch in the next couple of years.

'Sherlock' EP Steven Moffat on a 'Doctor Who' Matt Smith crossover: 'Nothing is impossible'Add to Favorites | Sherlock
While British viewers (and Yanks who figured out some sneaky way to watch online) have already sampled the joys of "The Empty Hearse," the Season 3 premiere of the BBC's "Sherlock" on PBS' "Masterpiece Mystery," most Americans will have to wait until Sunday, Jan. 19.
For executive producer Steven Moffat -- who helms both "Sherlock" and "Doctor Who" with the help of writer/actor Mark Gatiss (who plays Sherlock's brother, Mycroft Holmes) -- the goal is to make "three really good Sherlock Holmes stories. It's a very simple goal. I just want to make very good telecom films, which is quite challenging in itself."
It is interesting, though, that Moffat is finding success, not with something fresh and new and edgy, but with a detective created in the late 19th Century and a time-traveler who just hit 50.
"Nothing is a better test of success than endurance, is it?," says Moffat. "Perhaps it's not so surprising that 'Doctor Who' and Sherlock Holmes have been around for a long while. James Bond, 'Star Trek,' all those things ...
"You don't know what the greats are going to be until they survive a few decades. I suppose 'Robin Hood' has got them all trumped."
At the same time, these two venerable franchises are among the hottest things in social media -- and they get even hotter when you throw the Norse god Loki, who predates the Roman Empire.
Back in October, during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch was asked the, er, cheeky question, "Do you, Matt Smith and Tom Hiddleston have cheekbone polishing parties?"
In case you've been living in a pop-culture cave, young Matt Smith was still playing the Doctor at the time, and "The Hollow Crown" star Tom Hiddleston has played Loki in the recent "Thor" and "Avengers" movies.
The droll, witty Cumberbatch replied, "We like nothing better than buffing our Zygoma. And imagining a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth nordic legend f*** fantasy. Get to work on that, Internet."
(A " zygoma" is a cheekbone, for those not familiar with Latin terms derived from Greek terms.)
A wave of weak knees and fluttering hearts broke across Reddit, then became a social-media tsunami of the vapors combined with overheated imaginations.
While Moffat does of course know who these men are, it appears he lives in a social-media cave, because he hadn't heard of the whole kerfuffle.
"No," Moffat says, then sighs. "I remember the days when we kept our fantasies to ourselves. I don't want to think about that. I don't know much about that kind of thing, but I'm very happy people do that, if it makes them happy."
Even though Smith has now been replaced by Peter Capaldi, don't expect to see him going zygoma-to-zygoma with Cumberbatch anytime soon.
"Nothing is impossible," Moffat says. "it's not something we're particularly striving for. There's enough inevitable crossover talk between those two, it might be disconcerting for either of them to appear in the other's show.
"If there was a perfect part for him, there's no rule against it. We wouldn't want it to be stunt casting, because stunt casting doesn't work, so it would have to be just because he was overwhelmingly right for it.
"I mean, I love working with Matt. He's a phenomenal actor. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again. I don't know how likely that is to be on the set of 'Sherlock.'"
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who have one other thing in common -- a sort of immortality and adaptability seldom seen outside characters from Shakespeare, the Bible or Greek mythology.
Not only have multiple actors played the roles in multiple venues and formats over multiple decades, but each was kept alive (or brought back from apparent death) because the fans couldn't get enough ... and neither could Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's publishers nor the BBC (or, since Moffat thinks "Sherlock" is likely to be renewed, now it's just the BBC).
"I don't know my history well enough," says Moffat, "but he didn't in fact bring (Holmes) back from the dead because of public outcry. He did in fact bring him back from the dead because of a very, very large check."
Asked if Doyle's action means Holmes set the stage for many fictional resurrections, including, for example, Bobby Ewing in "Dallas."
Says Moffat, "I'm sure he'd be personally appalled to know that."
Not many TV producers get to work on two megahits at once, and there are lessons to be learned.
Says Moffat, "I suppose one (lesson) is that, one thing I think a lot about, is work on the things that you love. Work on your passion projects. Don't work on what you think people would like to watch; just do something you'd like to watch.
"And in both occasions, Sherlock Holmes and 'Doctor Who,' these are just my favorite things. I love those. When I proposed the Sherlock Holmes series, we didn't think it was going to be a hit. We didn't do it because we thought it was going to be a huge international hit, which it has become.
"We thought it'd be a little art project, get some good reviews. It was a passion project. Don't do it because you think other people will like it; do it because you think you love it. If you do something you love, there's no guarantee that anyone else will love it, but ... at least you'll like it, and that's somebody who's pleased.
"If you do something everybody else likes, and nobody likes it, then nobody's happy, and what's the point?
"It's not arrogance. It's not a terrible thing when you say you know what you like. I know what I like, and I hope someone else likes it. On many occasions, believe me, no one else likes it."

When negotiations begin today on a new local contract for dockworkers in Baltimore, representatives of management are expected to propose a plan to reduce or phase out the guaranteed annual income program for longshoremen that costs port employers about $9 million a year.
The GAI, a kind of unemployment insurance program, is funded by a $2.75 assessment paid by employers on each hour worked by a member of the International Longshoremen's Association in Baltimore. About 2,000 longshoremen in the port are eligible for GAI and approximately 400 currently collect GAI benefits.

It is difficult for me to give a 10 rating, but I couldn't find anything wrong with one of the most beautiful rv parks I have ever stayed in. It is only a few years old but so carefully and thoughtfully laid out, with wide paved roads, level concrete pads with parking for car, ample space between sites, not to mention beautiful pool, state-of-the art playground, dog run, sand volleyball, basketball, etc. The landscape is gorgeous, with a lawn service that comes in once a week to mow. Garbage is picked up at your site all day long and utilities are excellent. I wish there were more parks like this one. - wallysmom

Nice paved sites surrounded by grassy yard, good utilities, good WIFI, good cable, clean bathrooms, friendly folks. Looks like lots of stuff for kids, and amusement park across the street, so it is probably busy in the summer. Large private dog park through the woods so you hear some barking dogs; we also could smell them for a bit yesterday, otherwise would get a perfect rating. - 2hams

All sites concrete and roads paved. Very nice park and across the street from Michigan Adventure park. Grandkids had a great time riding bikes, scooters, and skateboards throughout park. Playground was extra nice. Very nice pool and game room. Great place to take kids. Would give it a 10, but I did not investigate showers and bathrooms. Well stocked store and accommodating staff. Enjoyed the stay and would stay again. - NewRV

501 E. Western Ave, Muskegon MI. 49443. A nice park, somewhat sparse surroundings, clean bathrooms. Weak Wi-Fi; must be just outside the office or have a signal booster. Employees very friendly. Used Passport America for two days; balance was $27/night. No sewer, but there is a dump station. 50 Amp available for $5 extra/night. Near downtown Muskegon, a clean and nice town. Cell phone reception good. We would come here again, but just for a few days, because of lack of sewer. - Dshinnick

I did not enjoy my stay here. I was ready to leave after the first night. The dump station was poorly kept and sloped away from the drain so my tanks took for ever to empty properly (if they even emptied completely). The lake was okay, although I would not swim in it. Dump service (aka the Honey Wagon) was expensive and they did not do weekenders. - coostv
No full hooks ups. The restrooms and showers were horribly unclean and there was only
one on the grounds. The dump station was not level so my tanks would not completely empty. Charged $6-$10 for dump service. Pull thru site was not at all
level. They even charged a $5 reservation fee! - Motorhome Madness

My family's stay was pleasant. The owners and staff were very friendly. The beach and water toys were great fun for the kids as was the good fishing and the trails. Our site was rather small as well as quite sandy, which meant a lot of dust flying around. - AlCamMum

We camped here for 2 nights in a pop-up with a slide-out. We had enough room for what we needed. The site was shaded, which was welcome given the hot days. At first I was hesitant to let the grandkids play without me tagging along. However, our site was centrally located and in view of the play areas. Moreover, the security was great. There was security at the entrance of the campground and at the jumping pillow, a popular place for kids. Security was located in view of the playground. I watched them watching the kids and was able to relax. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was the first time my grandkids fished; each caught several. The kids also liked swimming in the lake, which was warm. They went on the hayride and participated in the ice cream social. We had a campfire and roasted marshmallows. The bathrooms were clean. While the floors were sandy and wet in areas, I expected this given the lake and play areas. I would return to this campground again. The kids said they would go back there again too, which is a good recommendation since they are so picky. - illinois tom

The good - Very close to Michigan Adventures. The beach & water slides were very kid friendly. The Bad - First & foremost was the small lots. These were the smallest lots I have seen in 30+ years of camping. With the bed in our pop up pulled out, we were inches away from the bed in the pop up behind us. On the lot behind one of our group's site, they had a huge motor home back in, almost to the picnic table. When the motor home started up, the exhaust was on us while we were eating breakfast. The bathrooms were only cleaned once a day, so the paper towels were out most of the time. The road noise was quite loud. There seemed to be alot of people working there, but the late night noise was not controlled. My biggest complaint was the lot size. This is a KOA, the Hyatt of campgrounds. I would think there had to be a standard kept, that is why you are willing to pay more money. - rojo116

We live nearby and use this State Park as our getaway on a regular basis. There are two campgrounds, Lake Michigan and Channel. We prefer Channel Campground by far. There are two loops at Channel, and we prefer Loop 2 which has much larger sites and 50 amp service. Sites in Loop 2 are generous size, are well spaced and many have views of Muskegon Lake. Most sites are back-in, but navigating should not be a problem for most. Sites in Loop 1 are smaller and that loop is a bit tighter to navigate a larger rig. Some sites in Loop 1 back up to the Muskegon Channel to Lake Michigan and provide hours of boat watching. Canoes and kayaks can easily be launched along the Muskegon Lake shoreline, with beautiful routes to Snug Harbor, Harbortown Condos, the Muskegon Lake Channel, and out to Lake Michigan on a calm day. There is a large, uncrowded public beach on Lake Michigan (about 1/4 mile from the campground) with ample parking. Some people park their RV in the back of the beach lot and enjoy a day at the beach. Sites are paved, but narrow (wide enough for your rig and one vehicle). There is beach sand and dune grass surrounding most sites. There are many hiking trails in the park, dunes to climb, the channel break wall to walk, and great Lake Michigan sunsets to enjoy. Pleasure boats and commercial freighters use the channel and are interesting to watch. Bathrooms and showers are kept clean, but are in need of remodeling. This is really my only complaint about the campground. The park is very busy on summer weekends and reservations can be made 6 months in advance. However, we have often been able to get in by snagging a last minute cancellation. The park is a great place to kick back and enjoy everything a Michigan summer day has to provide! - RagTopDay

This campground was a disappointment in many ways. Sites advertised as on the water are really, at best, only water view through dense foliage, and there are very few of these. This is an older state park that was not designed for big rigs. It was hard to negotiate the campground roads with a 37' motorhome plus toad. The sites are very small and close together. In addition to the $30 camping fee, Michigan fleeces tourists by charging a park access fee, $30 for the year or a daily rate which was $8, so camping here was really $38. I also found the website for the Michigan State Parks to be very user unfriendly and lacking in essential information. - Haggbloom

We stayed at the lakefront site a mile or so north of the riverfront site. Lucked out with a very nice walk-up site 200' from the beach. Sites were un-level hard packed sand and very shady just behind the dunes. Nice stairs to beach. - buzzards27

We decided at the last minute to book this park. Which as I can see now, we were fortunate to get a site. The rest of the summer weekends are pretty well booked. It is a nice wooded state park, with not much privacy between sites. But that did not bother us. The sites that back up to the creek are some of the largest in the park. We stayed for six days and wish it could have been more. Although we have a full bathroom in our TT, my husband liked to use to parks shower facilities. He said they were super clean and liked the individual shower rooms. There is Lake Michigan access right at the end of the first loop. Great if you have kids, you don't have to pack them into the car to drive to the beach. It was too cold for swimming during our stay, but the views and sunset evenings were spectacular. They have a very nice and informative nature center. We stayed during the week after Memorial Day, so there may have been a total of 25 campers staying in the park. We parked out tow vehicle on the site next to ours, since it was so empty. The next day the ranger asked us to move it. That was no problem, but I thought it was funny when she said she was going to knock on our camper door at 2:30 am to ask us to move it. So glad she waited. There is shopping within five miles and a Naval museum that has submarine tours close, as well. We will come back for sure!! - ysocks

This is one of my favorite state parks. Many of the sites on the south loop are large, wooded and have a wooded buffer or creek behind them. The Lake Michigan beach stretches for miles and is not busy. There are several trails to hike although it would be nice if it was clearer where they are and if they were named on the park map. There is a golf course right next to the park and the Whippy Dip Ice cream place down the road. It is very quiet at night. There are groceries and shopping very close by if needed. - Pvanderhulst

We absolutely loved this State Park. You don't get full hook-ups at most of the State Parks, but the sanitation station was easily accessible and we did have electricity. We had one of the larger sites, which gave us plenty of room for our RV, and we had woods behind us. There were no trees in between our sites to separate us from the people next to us, but that wasn't a problem for us. The volunteer hosts were extremely friendly. The beach is easy to get to, and you just can't beat Lake Michigan. We walked to the beach one day and rode our bikes to the public picnic area another day. Our boys are already begging to go back! - miyzfrider

The family that run this place are very friendly but this place really needs some updating. The bathrooms are dark, dirty and old. The flies are over running the place, mostly because of the animals on-site. The campground is facing a swamp. The electric hook ups aren't adequate, our circuit breaker kept tripping, as did our neighbors. The cost wasn't bad if it was just 2 of us but we had to pay extra,$8.50 each per night, for our 2 children because they were teens. - JanieS
Jul 2010 - $25.00
This park was what it advertised, but then again it wasn't. There were playgrounds for the kids. They looked very old and lots of the equipment was in the water because of the changing water levels. Our three year old couldn't play on any of it because it was all for older kids. There is easy access to a very nice lake across the road with a small beach. However the lake that the campground (and play equipment) is on isn't clean enough for human use. Spots weren't ideal for RV's but they could be made to fit (ie. not level and very sandy and hilly). If you were tenting or boating/fishing this would have been a great spot, but it wasn't for us. We will not stay again. - raider_tennis

Model File upload overlay box using jQuery and Thickbox
- Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:17
- how-to, jquery, tips and technique
- 16 comments
Few times back, sNare asked me how do display wordpress like overlay box where you can pass the variables when you click on the link and manipulate simultaneous actions in the overlay until user choose to close it. Today, I've come up with the solution of this with model upload overlay box using thickbox, a jquery plugin. I've used the Iframe content of thickbox while displaying the box as modal box.
How to use the thickbox as modal overlay box?
Let's look at the step by step to use thickbox for passing variables.
First of all, we have to include jQuery JavaScript Library to our page,

After this, include the thickbox plugin of jQuery,

There is a CSS for using thickbox which also need to linked to the current page,
<link rel="stylesheet" href="thickbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Now, let's look at the anchor tag which passes the variables to overlay box and keep the overlay at top no matter how many simultaneous accesses occur in the box.
Upload Files
If you want to know how to use the thickbox, then you can checkout their home page which contains good documentation. The main point is, class='thickbox' must be used for the displaying the content in overlay.
How to pass variables to overlay box (thickbox)?
If you look at the href attribute of anchor tag, you can see clearly that I've passed post_id variable with value 5 to file_upload.php, which can be easily fetched from PHP using $_GET['post_id'].
How to make overlay box stay opened on simultaneous access?
Now this is part which many people has asked me how to do it. To use thickbox in this fashion, you've to use it in iframe content mode.The following property of thickbox make it remained open on simultaneous access,
Furthermore, We've used the following property to display the overlay box as modal box.

Thanks for the post. This really helped me instead of using moodalbox in my project.
But I have a question, how can I display the window using Javascript?
wrote on 16 April, 2009, 6:56
Since the upload happens in an iframe, Is there any way for the parent page to know that the upload was successful, so it can fire a js function on success?

HIs actions forced another vehicle to swerve off the road to avoid a collision on the A702 Dolphinton Straight in Peeblesshire on Sunday afternoon.
Depute fiscal Tessa Bradley told Selkirk Sheriff Court the charity rally involved 100 teams travelling 3000 miles from Miami to Ibiza featuring a host of celebrities driving some of the world's rarest vehicles.
Defence lawyer Ross Dow Tonakanyan had been driving the Edinburgh to London stage on behalf of his boss.
He said: "He now fears being dismissed because of what has happened."
Tonakanyan, of Solnechnogorsk in Russia, was banned from driving in the UK for two years and fined £600.

january desktop calendar
I thought it would be fun to do monthly desktop calendars this year! This first one is a picture I took at my local park in 2010 that I fooled around with in photoshop (it may look familiar if you've been following me for a while, since this backdrop used to be in my blog header a long time ago) with an overlay of hand-illustrated snow and a teeny little calendar in the corner. It looks a lot better when you see it full size and can make out all the tiny snow flakes. If you'd like to download it, here are some desktop sizes:
1280 x 1024 // 1600 x 1200 // 1680 x 1050 // 1920 x 1080 // 1920 x 1200
I really love the idea of layering photographs with illustration.. I think I want to try fooling around with this a little more! :) Oh, ps. it's also available (sans-calendar) in my society6 shop as prints, iphone cases, etc. etc.
