one of the things i did was create vocabulary lists and put them in
those waterproof folders. i hung the folders from the shower head and
shampoo rack and tested myself on vocabulary while taking showers. :)

Gabriel Josipovici is one of the major contemporary British authors. If this fact has so far escaped the notice of British literary critics and much of the British public, this is no doubt due to Josipovici's denigration as 'merely' an "experimentalist". Although Josipovici's early short fiction, which won him the Somerset Maugham Award in 1975, is technically extremely versatile and innovative, and therefore answers to the label from a formal perspective, the author's later fiction no longer obtrudes formal solicisms on the reader and should therefore be exempted from this type of criticism. In any case, the oeuvre of Josipovici has, in the meantime, reached a critical mass which requires that one take it seriously, …

Vapor Trail
Q: I have been enjoying your Performance Q&A column for a few years now; you do a great job. Now I need your help. My son and I have a '69 Camaro we take to track days. Unfortunately, it has had a nagging coolant leak since we first dropped in the ZZ385 crate engine about a year ago. The first leak was at the back of the intake manifold on the driver side, right where the head, intake, and block come together. We fixed that and soon had another leak at the head gasket, just above the headers. It wasn't long before we noticed vapor coming out of the tailpipe. We will be changing the head gasket soon, PN 12557236, but I am not sure what may be causing this. Could it be the Dexcool-equivalent coolant we are using? Or the lack of a bypass hose between the water pump and intake manifold? The engine only has a few thousand miles on it. Track officials frown on leaking fluids, and any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, do you know the head bolt torque setting we should use on the aluminum heads?
Gene Welch
Daly City, CA
A: First, I've never liked the Vortec bolt pattern for the intake manifold. This, combined with the fact that your Fast Burn heads are dual-bolt pattern (both early and late Vortec manifold patterns), you have very little sealing area between the cylinder head, manifold gasket, and manifold. Finally, the production plastic/silicon sealing ring manifold gaskets have issues leaking on the production L-31 Vortec engines.
The ZZ4 short-block that your Fast Burn 385 is built on has an internal bypass at the front of the passenger-side deck that passes from the cylinder head and into the inlet side of the water pump. This is a very small bypass in relation to the volume that can be pumped. If the engine is run at high rpm before the thermostat has a chance to open, you can build very high pressure in the cooling system. This could compromise the gaskets. For many years on all big- and small-blocks we've been drilling a couple of 3/16-inch holes around the perimeter of the thermostat. This gives you additional bypass volume and gets the hot water up to the thermostat to open quicker.
When you remove your cylinder heads to replace the gaskets, replace the factory-style intake manifold gaskets with Fel-Pro PN 1255. These are composition-type gaskets that will compress and give you a better chance to seal the limited sealing area. When installing these gaskets we prefer to use a contact cement gasket sealer to hold the gaskets in place. Gasgacinch Gasket Sealer has been around forever, and you can't beat it. Paint the cylinder head side of the gasket and the intake flange of the head with sealer, and let it dry. Then use a high-quality silicone sealer like Permatex #598 Ultra Black Hi-Temp RTV around both the head and manifold side of the intake gaskets in the water passage region. It doesn't take much. A very thin layer of sealer around the water ports will do it. Once you have coated both sides of the gasket around the water ports with silicone, place the intake gaskets to the head flange. Be very careful when placing them on the heads. You will want to be in perfect alignment when you set them down. The Gasgacinch will hold them right in place where you place them. Now, use Ultra Black to seal the end seals of the block to manifold with a nice 1/4-inch bead.
Finally, we don't think your issues are due to your coolant. Your cylinder head bolts should be torqued to a value of 65 ft-lb. You'll want to apply a Teflon sealer to the threads of the head bolts to prevent water from migrating around the threads and up around the heads of the bolts. The head bolts come from the supplier coated with a sealer. Clean off the remainder of the sealer with a wire wheel and apply new Loctite PST #565 Thread Sealer. This will best replicate the factory sealer.

In-flight magazines increasingly find a niche audience
6 July 2010 | With audio and video on demand (AVOD) a standard in-flight entertainment feature today, and with travelers increasingly carrying their personal entertainment devices with them onboard, passengers may start to lose their interest in in-flight magazines amidst all the media overload. To make in-flight magazines more relevant to both passengers and advertisers, a number of airlines have begun to publish special-interest and route-dedicated in-flight magazines.
LAN Chile has just launched an in-flight magazine, called 'in-Wines' targetted at wine lovers traveling in business class. The first edition of in-Wines includes essays by Chilean master sommelier Héctor Vergara, serving and pairing tips, a wine-tasting class, wine reviews and Chilean and Argentinian wine routes. Connecting with passengers "on a lifestyle subject they are passionate about" is the driver behind LAN's launch of the wine-dedicated in-flight magazine. Says LAN's manager in-flight entertainment Violeta Garcia, "the magazine gives us the opportunity to reinforce our credibility as wine connoisseurs". According to Spafax, which also publishes LAN's regular 'in magazine', "in-Wines is already a huge hit with readers and advertisers – with over 20 major brands buying space in the first edition."

Space Fighter X11 is a 3D, 3rd Person Space Game. Your mission is to investigate rumors of an
attack by the Wymacet Horde on one of our glactic exploration stations. Be careful because the
Wymacet Horde always travels in large numbers and Red Giant sun in this region makes their ships
difficult to see. Use your arrow keys to ascend/descend and your mouse for direction and firing. When
you destroy a ship, you are able to pick up it's energy core to add energy or lives to your ship. In
addition, the energy rings will provide an energy core when destoyed. However, if you hit them before
they are destroyed, they will drain your energy. To win, you must destroy the Horde's mobile star base.
This game has mild violence and is not suggested for children.

it's the same as any iPhone, period. Don't be reckless with your gadgets and drop them straight on the ground.
However, if you do drop it by accident, I know that i did several times with my 3Gs, and it never cracked. They are very Sturdy screens.
Is the iPhone 4 glass shatterproof?
There has been a good deal of debate about the strength and durability of the glass front and back plates on the new iPhone 4. I have to admit, I worry that this doubles the chances that I will scratch, crack or break my iPhone 4. Others feel that the iPhone 4 glass will be exceptionally durable with one person even mentioning that the glass will be bullet proof, similar to the glass on military tanks. I am not that optimistic.
Apple talked about the iPhone 4 face/back glass properties in their promo video:
"We developed a custom glass that's comparable in strength to sapphire crystal but about 30 times harder than plastic. This glass is not only used on the front of the phone but on the back as well."
Sapphire has a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is quite strong. Diamond (the strongest mineral) has a rating of 10. That being said, even a diamond is not shatterproof. If hit with a hammer a diamond will smash to dust. It can also chip or be damaged from a drop on the floor.
We've seen other chemically treated screens before, like Corning's Gorilla Glass, that promise very high levels of durability. Yes, there is a video of the iPhone 4 glass being bent about 20 degrees, and that is quite impressive. Though once the glass is assembled onto the iPhone 4 aluminum frame, when is this attribute ever going to be needed? If I drop the iPhone 4 on my tiled floor, its cute bending trick is completely useless to me.
iFixyouri state that they had their hands on iPhone 4 faceplates (no the whole phone, no the internal parts, just the faceplate). It's unknown if what they had represents the final production version of the glass, but they decided to drop test it anyway, face down, on a hard floor from 3.5 ft. After three drops the purported iPhone 4 glass shattered. They also claimed that the iPhone 4 has a design flaw which will cause it to be more prone to glass damage. This flaw is that the glass actually sits above the aluminum bezel as opposed to the iPhone 3G, which has the glass almost flush to the aluminum and is hence more protected by it.
If the iPhone 4 glass were shatterproof, wouldn't Apple have said so? Wouldn't Apple have demonstrated that in their video? We watched the glass bending, why not see it being struck or dropped and not breaking? (Perhaps even better yet we would have seen Steve pick up a AK47 unleash a round or two on the iPhone 4 and then gingerly pick it up dust it off and say, "now folks that's magic.")
Perhaps this glass is strong, perhaps stronger than any of the iPhones in production but shatterproof?
What do you expect from Apple's new glass? Have at it in the comments.

Is the iPhone 4 glass shatterproof?
I don't think this was a valid test since it was a hollow shell and we don't know if they got hold of the final production glass.
Looks more like a publicity stunt to me since they're a repair outfit.
It would also be very hard to demonstrate shatterproof materials (you can get a different result every time) and doing so would be somewhat reckless as it would almost be an endorsement from Apple to abuse your phone.
There's a difference between hardness and strength. This is why metal can't scratch glass, but won't break when dropped on the floor and why glass, no matter how hard, will shatter when enough pressure is applied to a specific small area. Take a nail and tap it lightly with a hammer on the iphone 4 screen and i guarantee you it won't bend, it will shatter.
Agreed. I've dropped my 3g tons of times and it still holds up really well. No cracks on the glass. Although this one idiot at radio shack dropped my phone about 5 feet in the air on accident and I now have a small crack on the apple
logo on the back.
I have to admit the iPhone 3g has been the most sturdy and reliable cell phone I've ever
owned. Previously I had t mobile and sprint am every phone I owned never lasted longer than 7-8 months. I swear they make those crappy phones to break and stop functioning after so long.
The answer is that it is not shatterproof. Apple did not claim it was, as they have enough lawsuits to deal with :)
Still, it would have been nice to hear some real world tests. I could care less if an individual sheet of the glass breaks or how resistant it is to a hammer. I would like an estimate of my phone's survivability if I drop it from pocket height or head height onto the floor. Apple is not about to make claims that way, but I am sure some review crew will jump into that breach in the next few weeks.
My 3G has taken many a spill (well, not liquid spills, but...) and I've only gotten dust under the screen. No cracks, no nothing, nor on the Original iPhone I had before it (knock on chemically treated glass/plastic). I think there is an amount of luck involved with any drop. Develop habits as to how you handle you phone which can minimize the figurative--and literal--impact of any drops you might have.
iPhoneMilk is right. I've dropped my 3GS at least 10 times on concrete. I don't use a case. And not a single crack or chip. If people are that worried, and can't afford a new phone if THEY break it they're probably living above their means to begin with. Get a cheap phone. If you want it, and you're so worried that YOU might break it (not that it will break) get a giant ugly case to put it in, and settle down. I don't know any electronic device that's made to be dropped and thrown around anyway. What's the big deal? The phone is amazing, and super hot. The glass adds to the beauty. I personally don't want to pay that much for a plastic piece of crap.
I thought i was the only one who noticed how reliable the 3g has been! not a crack nor scratch, and its been dropped tons of times, although only in my 8 dollar wal mart case, and not on concrete, but still has held up nevertheless. I just see this one being even better, when not abused
My concern has always been in seeing how tempered glass operates. It is VERY tough (impact resistant) when impacted perpendicular to the face of the glass due to the residual stresses heat treated into the glass. BUT... I don't know how many people have seen what happens when you do a small tap with a sharp object on the edge of the glass parallel to the face. The glass that could take a hammer thrown at it (I've done it) previously will fail catastrophically with even a small tap. My concern is how well this glass will fare when dropped on edge. My guess is that the $29 Bumper or similar protection will be well worth it.
If this becomes a major problem will apple have to make an iPhone 4.5? lol now that would be funny!
I think thats why Apple have all of a sudden decided to branch into cases especially as the bumper shields a very specific area of the phone and no other parts of it. kinda like making titanium hi-tops for Achilles. If there is one vulnerability in the glass Steve is gonna want to protect it.
The fact that the device was hollow completely invalidates this "test". When braced by the internal components, the glass panels will be much more durable. And that said, it still took them three tries to break the hollow shell. I expect my iPhone 4 to prove indestructible under normal use conditions (including occasional drops).
I think everyone forgets Apple is a company that likes to make money. The phone is not even out yet so everyone is trying to create hype about the phone and get hits for their site so they need catchy headlines. If the glass is easy to shatter 90-100% of customers are going to be bringing them back en masse that is not good for Apple's sales and profit. Apple as a huge company wouldn't overlook that point so I'm not worried until the actual phones come out and people start to really complain their screens have shattered from reasonable wear and tear, not the ones who will drop it while on a ladder 5 or 6 feet up, then I'll be worried.
Hardness (scratch resistence) and toughness (ability to take an impact) are two different things. Apple was talking about hardness. Put your iPhone in your pocket with some keys and the glass won't be scxratched. Drop it and it can shatter. The reason diamonds can shatter is because carbon atoms are lined up in a specific way where the atomic bonds are very strong in some directions, and not in one direction. Which is why they used a chisel and hammer to split diamonds for years. To polish a diamond, they have to use diamond dust, and they have to polish in a specific direction or the diamond will never take a polish. Even a diamond saw won't cut through a diamond in some directions, but does very well with the grain. Only another diamond can scracth a diamond - the mohs scale is based on what can and can't scratch something else from talc (1) to diamond (10) which is 1500 times harder than sapphire (9).
There's no confusion here. Apple was telling the truth. People just make all sorts of stuff up because they wanted to contradict Apple. Nothing new.
i saw fewer accidents. edge will absorb impact before it hit glass. with old phone, impact was absorbed in glass and it shatter, yes? if fall flat, it may chip. chip is big concern. fall on corner not so much.
i will not shoot with gun.
remember man who was first to break ipad with baseball bat? who be first to break iphone with bat?
So you buy a hard case cover for it. ...... What's that you say??? Oh you hide the nice glass back? So then don't buy the cover. Wats that you say? You don't feel comfortable laying it down because you may scratch the back? And you can't lay it face down? Lol better get the cover then and just tell people you have an iPhone 4.
It looks like the bumper will both protect the sides of the phone and hold the front and back glass off of the ground in case you happen to drop it just right.
I currently use a back case but have never used a screen protector. The front glass is still flawless. Screen protectors are a big scam. However the back of the 3GS will scratch and I like to keep mine in mint condition so I can sell it on Ebay every year and get a new iPhone for free :)
Not trying to sell anything(to you guys-I do sell them in a retail store!), but if you are really worried, get an Otterbox. I toss my 3Gs on the tile floor 5-10 times a day to demonstrate the toughness, and it doesn't have a scratch. We tried to add it up, and it has hit the floor from about 4 ft. about 300 times!! Tough case for a tough tough phone.
I've dropped my 3Gs down a flight of stairs (concrete) and nothing happened. Dropped it out of the truck, no issue. My brother's girlfriend dropped hers on a sidewalk and it cracked. She got a new one and dropped that one and it also cracked. I worry about the class on the front and back personally. Here's hoping...
@Eric Well said. You've taken the words right out of my mouth.
@Mike I'm with you on that one.
Don't know how well it holds true for glass, but with bolts I can break a grade 8 bolt faster than a grade 5 because of the rigidity of the grade 8.
In metals,Hardness and Brittleness usually go hand in hand, as you have observed, but glass is a crystalline structure, and rules can be different. Chemical treatment of the surface can make the surface dramatically different than the internal portion of the same sheet. Gorilla glass is one such treatment. See Corning's page on this http://tinyurl.com/364tvn4 They push the chemical strengthening deeper into the glass than their competitors.
Edge on impact still poses a serious risk of shattering, and most shattered iPhone glass shows side impact. Rubber bumpers may help, but the thin-ness of the built in ones seems a bit suspect.
We will know if a few days if it will blend.
Do a lot of people plan on hitting their iPhones with a hammer? It's glass, people. Glass breaks. Whether it's an iPhone or not, you're carrying around a $500+ piece of hardware in your pockets, so be careful with it.
Hammer? No. Most people use a far blunter instrument: The floor.http://www.mobimadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/shattered-iphone.jpg
No cracks here after several drops. I do have two specs of dust under the screen though. Hopefully the new design will stop that.
I reckon the protruding glass could be a problem but glass on both sides will be awesome compared to scratchy plastic on the whole.
If you pay this much for something, treat it with a lot of care!
There is no such thing as a waterproof watch. Taken deep enough, the watch will leak, even if the person wearing it has been compressed to the size of an almond from the water pressure, and therefore doesn't care.
There is no such thing as shatterproof glass. Struck with a sufficiently hard and pointed object, glass will break.
The iPhone 4 also is not likely to survive a ground zero nuclear explosion, but if it happens, the owner of said iPhone won't be around to care.
The actual question should be "Will it hold up to normal wear and tear, and reasonable abuse?" I do wonder how resilient the unit will be, but that is something only time will tell.
um, why does anyone believe iFixyouri? they did not video record their "test" for anyone else to see and know if they actually did what they say. there can only be three reasons for that:
- no one there owns a camcorder or phone that can record video, or knows anyone who does.
- they were too stupid to think to do this.
- they are liars trying to get attention for their blog, and hit it with a hammer.
take your pick.
My husband dropped his first (original) iphone and cracked the glass. He then bought a 3G iphone when they came out and again dropped and cracked the screen. He lived with the cracked screen for a while until the cost of screen replacements became reasonable and had the screen replaced. I still have the original iphone with the silver back and have not cracked the screen. However, it has some minor scratches on the screen from when I put it in my purse with my keys. I am worried the iphone 4 will have double the chance at scratches (2 sides are glass) and my husband will drop his phone and get breaks on both the front and back. Maybe getting a bumper and a clear glass covering for the front and back will resolve these problems.
The new Invisible Shield screen protector is also aviable for the back of the device which looks promising. Also the bumper case will help since it is above the glass(if you drop it straight down when the iPhone is flat, the bumper will take the impact). Is this glass as strong or stronger than gorilla glass? If it isn't, why didn't they use gorilla glass? The world will never no... I do though... Apple is a bunch of control freak, it's there way, no matter what. Why is there no flash on the iPhone/Pod/Pad? So Apple make more money off Apps and iTunes. Can't blame them though... Everyone needs money...
Had my iphone 4 a week now after upgrading from a 3g. Love the thing but as cool as it looks I feel this is an incredibly poor design.. the protruding glass on both sides is the issue (reception aside - which im not too concerned with). The glass has already started chipping on the top right corner after a small knock on the ground. Its ashame the metal band didnt cover the glass... i can't see this product lasting 2 years.. a real shame..
Had a 3gs that took many spills and no damage! Had the Iphone 4 for 1 week and the back glass shattered. I don't understand the design change - It is not better and is more susceptible to damage - Glass and Hard edges. The rounded edges of the 3gs design were brilliant!! More comfortable in the hand and minimized the number of sharp edges which helped protect the device if it should be accidently dropped. I don't get it and DON'T like it. Though all of the apple employees are walking around the stores with their devices not in cases - I strongly suggest you put your iphone 4 in a protective case ASAP. It is not a question of will the glass shatter - the question is WHEN will it shatter? Good luck!!
@Dage: Android makes shatterproof screens now?
I have a shattered screen iphone 4. So much for indestructable.
Thanks for this article, I was looking for an explanation on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw
I though the iPhone was shatter proof, seems not.
Apple should use industrial Safire on both faces instead of that glass , and then, only then , would worth buying it.

American Idol 2013 Recap: Season 12 Top 6 Results! 4/11/2013 (VIDEOS)
Who was eliminated on American Idol tonight? Was it the end of the road for Cuban-born Lazaro Arbos on the American Idol results this evening after weeks of terrible performances? Will it be an all girls American Idol 2013 Top 5 with Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller as the favorites for the crown? Tune in with us for our live American Idol recap and find out who went home and who made the Top 5, or if the judges were forced to use their save power!
After last night's drama-filled Top 6 American Idol performances show, we frankly just have no idea what to expect tonight! Once again, the sole remaining guy in the competition, Lazaro Arbos, gave two absolutely dismal performances. Yet, it wasn't long ago he was voted into the Top 3 by the viewers. Will his supporters finally turn their back on him after the American Idol judges ripped him to shreds last night? Some of the fan polls are predicting yes, but others are predicting no... with Janelle Arthur as the most likely girl to get the boot. Or will he somehow survive and force the judges to possibly use their save to rescue one of the girls from elimination?
We desperately hope Lazaro Arbos will not make it through this week because it would simply be a travesty after last night. Up until now, it was kind of sweet and kind of funny watching him get through week to week. Well, it was right up until Burnell Taylor was the one who went home on American Idol last week. That one kind of hurt and left many of his fellow contestants, like Candice Glover, in tears. Which is why we posted earlier today about the American Idol judges needing a veto as well as a save.
Whether Lazaro arbos was the contestant who was voted off American Idol tonight or not, we're sure there are going to be a lot of shocked fans this evening either way. Join us right here, right now, for our live American Idol 2013 recap and watch what happens with us!
[Please be sure to refresh this page frequently for the latest American Idol results updates and videos!]
And here we go! First up, of course, is a mini-review of last night's performances and critiques from the American Idol judges. Not that anyone could forget how bad Lazaro was last night, or how amazing Candice Glover's show-stopping final performance was! After an introduction of the judges, we launch into the requisite cheesy Brady Bunch group performance for the night. This actually wouldn't be so bad except they give Lazaro a lengthy portion to sing solo, which sounds just as bad as everything he mangled last night.
After the commercial break, the American Idol Top 6 finalists are off on another 'Ford Fiesta Mission' to play giant soccer with two Ford Fiestas. On a roof. Or at least it looks like a roof. I just kept expecting someone to drive one of those tiny cars right off the top of the building, or at least shove the giant soccer ball over the edge and totally freak out some poor person way below on the street.
Lazaro, Angie and Kree were the Top 3 finalists in the last voting ranks, so host Ryan Seacrest runs us through a flashback of their highlights from last night. Mentor Jimmy Iovine pitches in with his evaluations of the contestants. Jimmy says all he can do at this point is compare the finalists against each other. He says Lazaro's first performance last night "hit me like an Ambien milkshake." If he were to rank Lazaro among the remaining finalists, he'd put him in 10th place. Someone tells him from off camera there are only six contestants left. Jimmy says yes, I know.
Next up, Ryan Seacrest starts separating out the contestants into pairs. He puts Angie Miller in one corner and pulls up Lazaro next. Ryan wants to know why Lazaro is laughing and he responds that he thought Jimmy's comments were funny. The audience does not laugh with him. Neither do the American Idol judges. Ryan puts Angie, Lazaro and Kree in three different spots on the stage. He says all of them were in the Top 3 last week... but will they be this week? (We really hope not...)
Kevin Bacon is in the audience tonight! I guess a few hundred thousand people just became a few steps closer to the source in the six degrees of Kevin Bacon. When Ryan Seacrest asks, Kevin says he would be utterly terrified to have to stand in front of the American Idol judges.
It's time for our first guest performance of the night and we're continuing the theme this year of returning American Idol finalists and winners. This time it's American Idol Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery with his new single "See You Tonight".
Scotty McCreery was great on American Idol, and obviously he won, but we always felt he still had quite a ways to go before he really reached his full country potential. With this new song "See You Tonight", it sounds like he's really come into his own at last. He's confident, powerful, and comfortable on stage in a way he never really quite was when he was competing on the show.
Back from another commercial break and host Ryan Seacrest tells us all about how the fans have sent in tons of suggestions for themes this year. Listening to him, we can't help but wonder why the producers have apparently ignored a lot of really good theme ideas and given us things like, oh, "Classic Rock, No Ballads" instead.
Now we wander through some more highlights from the other finalists and Jimmy Iovine speaks his mind about Janelle Arthur and Amber Holcomb. He says Candice is a 10 out of 10, Amber is everything he looks for in an artist and he doesn't get why she isn't landing the votes.
Ryan puts Janelle with Angie, Candice with Kree and Amber with Lazaro. He says one group is the Top 2, one is the middle 2 and one is the bottom 2. Our gut immediately says Amber and Lazaro must be the bottom group... but could it possibly be Angie and Janelle are actually the ones in danger? That would be bad news for Janelle. We aren't sure the American Idol judges would use their save on her if she got voted off.
Usually we hate all the guest performances because we're waiting so impatiently for the results, but tonight we are pleased to hear from the next one up — original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson! Wow, she just kills it up there with her new single "People Like Us" and she looks smokin' hot. The finalists are freaking out over Kelly. Kelly is freaking out over Mariah Carey and says she would have thrown up if she had to audition in front of her. Mariah climbs on stage in her burning red dress and towers over Kelly while she continues to talk about her worship. It's really cute actually.
Another break is over and it's time for more results from Ryan Seacrest. He announces that Kree Harrison and Candice Glover are America's Top 2! We so agree with those voting results!
Now Ryan announces the next set of results. After the nationwide vote... Lazaro Arbos and Amber Holcomb are the bottom two tonight. Janelle Arthur and Angie Miller are safe and head over to the couches to join Kree and Candice.
We are really feeling kind of bad for Amber because she really does have a great voice and personally we think she's a better performer than Janelle. America just doesn't seem to agree though.
Finally, at last, Ryan reveals the person with the least number of votes tonight is...
Lazaro Arbos!
It's finally time for Lazaro to go because the American Idol judges have absolutely no interest in using their one and only save of the season to keep him in the competition. He's out of here and it's an all girls American Idol Top 5 for the first time ever in the history of the show!

John Millward took six months to analyze 10,000 porn star profiles on Internet Adult Film Database to determine who the average porn star was.
Sounds interesting, right? If only there was a blog that could provide a synopsis of this study with NSFW visual aids. Good news, there is a blog that can provide a synopsis. It's this blog. The Sex.com Blog.
Ok, Mr. Millward, what do you have for us?
What comes to mind when you think of a porn star? Blonde with big boobs, right?
Not unlike Jenna Jameson, right?
Source: thesexbomb.com via Sex.com
Well, this perception of a porn star is technically false because it doesn't represent the majority of performers. Let's start by addressing the boob fallacy.
The average porn star doesn't have Double-D's. In fact, double-D's are the fourth most common cup size.
Surprisingly, most porn stars are working with a solid bust of 34 B. For those of you having trouble picturing this boob size, think Tori Black.
Source: kindgirls.com via Sex.com
On average, a porn star's measurements are 34B-24-34 (for reference's sake, Tori's measurements are 34B-27-37, meaning her ass is above average), which very nicely proportioned if you ask me. In general, female porn stars weigh 117 lbs. 48 lbs. less than women who don't do porn.
So if porn stars aren't big boobed, they must be at least blonde, right?
Millward's data shows otherwise. Hair color breaks down like this:
Hair dying and makeovers are common in any industry (especially the entertainment industries). So this statistic is a little harder to judge. Even notorious blondes like Jenna Jameson have been spotted as brunettes.
But nonetheless, dark haired porn stars outnumber blondes almost 2 to 1.
So why then is the porn star trope such a misrepresentation of the population? The explanation Millward offers is that the busty blonde is an amalgam of the most famous porn stars like Jenna Jameson.
However, Jenna Jameson was the most popular porn star ten years ago and still is a celebrity for nostalgic purposes only. Millward may have accidentally discovered why girls like Tori Black and Sasha Grey have become the new face of porn super stardom. It's not just because they're very sexy, it's because they are epitome of what it is to be a porn star.
Source: hornysatyr via Sex.com
What else did Millward find out to determine who the average porn star was and what they were willing to do in a scene?
Well there's race:
Most common names:
What most of them do:
Who's wining between boobs vs. butts:
Sex roles:
Based on 10,000 porn star IAFD profiles, Jon Millward was able to determine that the average porn star is a Caucasian, brunette named Nikki Lee with measurements 34B-24-34, who can pass for a teen, and will probably take a facial (but might not do anal).
Pretty fantastic work by Mr. Millward. Though he did go one step beyond by amalgamating the faces of the top ten porn stars to determine what "Nikki Lee" would actually look like:
She's pretty cute. Maybe it's just me, but for me she looks like a cross between Kim Kardashian and Natalie Portman.
So now you know porn stars. Why not go check some out on Sex.com's Porn Star section?
Big shout out to Jon Millward for his diligent research and cool infographics. We omitted some things. If you want to read the whole thing click here.
No offense to the big breasted blondes in the porn world but it any coincidence that these natural breasted brunettes are some of the most popular in the industry?

Community Science Input and Participation
Updated July 15, 2013
The LSST will carry out a six-band multi-epoch optical survey over half the Celestial Sphere using a dedicated 8.4-meter telescope, allowing major advances in areas ranging from the study of near-Earth asteroids to the nature of Dark Energy. The Science Collaborations are autonomous entities that will work closely with the LSST construction project on areas from cadence design to commissioning. LSST was ranked #1 by the Astronomy and Astrophysics 2010 Decadal Survey for large ground-based projects. Science operations will begin six years after the start of construction.
- Science Working Group Report [PDF 4.3MB]
- Science with LSST and Other Large Surveys: Community Access and Utilization of Future Archives (September 2004 Meeting Papers and More)
Community Science Involvement Paves Path for Future Programs
Because we intend this facility and its database to serve as a resource for the whole community, we want your input on the planning to date along with ideas for extending the work already done. In particular, LSST's cadence on the sky during operations will ultimately be determined through a community input process involving the LSST Science Advisory Council and the Science Collaborations. The detailed distribution of revisits and filters will be decided by optimizing the overall science return, using tools such as the Operations Simulator.
Join the mission! First, review the following materials which detail our current plan and findings:
Relative Survey Power: Opening Up Discovery Space
Étendue of current and planned survey telescopes and cameras on a log scale. Some are dedicated 100% to surveys ("Survey"). Others could have higher effective étendue if used 100% in survey mode or if duplicated ("Max"). Above an étendue of 200-300 m2 deg2 it becomes possible to undertake a single comprehensive multi-band survey of the entire visible sky serving most of the science opportunities, rather than multiple special surveys in series. The LSST will open up a qualitatively new regime in survey science.
- Science Requirements Document (July 6, 2011) [PDF 464KB]
Let us know whether these basic requirements are suitable for the program you would like to carry out. Look particularly at the cadence of observations. We are especially interested in your requirements for data products — what should the LSST pipelines and database provide in order to enable the science that you want to do?

JAILED RMG End Time Message church leader, Robert Martin Gumbura, will wait for another full week to know the outcome of his bail bid following yet another deferment of his case by a High Court judge Friday.
The embattled clergy was last month slapped with a 40-year prison sentence after a Harare magistrate's court convicted him of four counts of rape on some church congregants.
He now wants a reprieve from his imprisonment pending consideration of his appeal against both sentencing and conviction and proceeds to argue both his conviction and sentencing were wrongfully arrived at.
Through his lawyer Rekai Maposa, Gumbura insists he was an ideal candidate for bail and has since filed a 1 000 page appeal to buttress his argument.
After a brief hearing in chamber Friday afternoon, Justice Joseph Musakwa could not proceed with the hearing after it emerged the disgraced clergy's court record presented before him was in shambles.
"The matter has been postponed to 4 April," said Editor Mavuto, standing for the State, adding, "This is to allow applicant to rearrange the magistrate's court record."
Among some of the anomalies in the court record were the poor arrangement of the magistrate court's transcribed record and the missing of crucial statements by witnesses during trial.
This rendered the judge unable to proceed with the matter without the full facts of the highly publicised matter.
"It's not our problem. It's the fault of those who do the transcription and l actually noted that," Maposa said soon after emerging from the chamber hearing.
"They said that the memory card especially in relation to the witness who testified on camera had a problem ... so they have to go through the handwriting of the trial magistrate."
It is the second time in a space of a week for the bail hearing to be postponed.
As always, Friday's hearing saw the many wives of the polygamous clergy filling up the bails court room to hear the fate of the feared pastor - although proceedings were held in chamber.
Gumbura was convicted for raping some church congregants in a matter that was widely publicised and has gone on to ignite renewed organised campaigns against massive rape in Zimbabwe.
Despite his apparent fall from grace, it has emerged he still remains a key figure on administrative matters of his disintegrating church, with church figures occasionally consulting him during prison visits on how to handle business.

How unique! It made me smile – especially since I am a total Mercedes lover. Now lets do the same thing with the new E-Class.

That was an awsome piece of art – just a little expensive for $20,000.00. What a great piece of wall art that was…

At Mashup Camp, geeks plot future of Web

MashupCamp--a new kind of get-togetherFebruary 21, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Alan Taylor is living in the Wild West of Web development, and he has the scars to prove it.
In his spare time, Taylor builds mashups--Web applications that combine content from more than one source and have caught on as Web providers from Amazon.com to Microsoft make their data programmatically available to outsiders.
But while he is breaking new ground on the Internet, he is also pushing legal and business boundaries. His Amazon Light application--a stripped-down site for buying and renting goods through Amazon--attracted two cease-and-desist orders a couple of years back, one from Amazon and another from Google.
"I do lots of different development, but the mashups are the most fun just because there's so much potential," said Taylor, one of about 200 developers and techies attending Mashup Camp here this week. "The biggest barriers have been artificial barriers, legal barriers."
Taylor, who holds a day job as a senior Web developer at Boston.com, survived the legal threats without much trouble, but his experience points to the relative immaturity of mashups, which advocates believe represent the Web's cutting edge.
Many popular mashup applications involve plotting information, such as a calendar entry, on a mapping Web site. But Taylor and others at the third Mashup Camp are looking to push far beyond maps. Hype Machine, for example, tracks discussions of music on blogs, aggregates that information and allows people to listen to mentioned songs.
Because Mashup Camp is considered an "unconference," discussion topics were proposed by attendees and scheduled on the first day of the two-day event. Perhaps as a reflection of their enthusiasm, participants were able to decide on the conference content within 20 minutes.
The semi-structured format is particularly well-suited to mashups, which many attendees likened to a grassroots cultural movement.
Large software vendors catering to corporate software developers or independent software vendors have spent years establishing a suite of Web services standards and infrastructure software while advocating a modular design, called a service-oriented architecture, or SOA.
Mashups, by contrast, tend to focus on speed and simplicity, wiring together different Web sites using quick and lightweight methods.
"This is taking the SOA idea and applying it to the mess that is the real world," said Chris Radcliff, a Web developer at Eventful, which aggregates and publishes event listings. "You can grab pieces from here and there. It makes it a lot more informal, which increases adoption."
Established technology providers, which sell to businesses, are courting mashup developers, some of whom may be working at start-ups or just working on their own. Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Yahoo, Autodesk and AOL are among the sponsors of this year's event.
IBM, for example, has a tool called QEDwiki, which is designed to let businesspeople pull together data from different sources, such as weather information and product shipping information, to create a perhaps temporary application.
Joe Keller, the former Java Web services marketing vice president at Sun Microsystems, attended the event to foster a network, or "ecosystem," of leading-edge developers.
"My ecosystem has changed," said Keller, chief marketing officer at mashup tool company Kapow Technologies. "You see SOAs and Web services struggling to get critical mass, and this lightweight programming model is already hitting critical mass."

Pink Floyd 'Immersion' and 'Experience' Editions of 'The Wall' Set for 2/28 Release
On February 28, EMI will release 'Immersion' and 'Experience' editions of Roger Waters' opus, Pink Floyd 'The Wall,' as the final installment of the recent 'Why Pink Floyd?' reissues and extended releases. 'The Wall' remains Pink Floyd's biggest-selling release after 1973's legendary 'The Dark Side Of The Moon.'
Released in November 1979, 'The Wall' topped the album charts in the US, France, Germany,Sweden and Australia. "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2" – Pink Floyd's first UK single since 1968 – became a Number 1 hit, selling more than one million copies within weeks of its release.
Between 1980 and 1981, Pink Floyd staged 31 performances of The Wall in the US, UK and Germany. It was a spectacular show that included a 40-foot wall, constructed, brick by brick, across the front of the stage during the performance. In 2010 and 2011 Roger Waters toured a new production of The Wall to huge international acclaim. He was joined onstage in May 2011 atLondon's 02 Arena by guitarist, David Gilmour and drummer, Nick Mason. He continues to tour in the Southern Hemisphere and North America in 2012.
'The Wall' 'Immersion' 7-disc edition includes a DVD featuring a film clip from the 1980 tour and a 'Behind The Wall' documentary, plus, for the first time, CDs of excerpts from Roger Waters' original demos and work-in-progress versions of songs on the final album. Additionally, among these previously unheard versions are David Gilmour's original demos of "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell." The Immersion set also includes The Wall Live, compiled from the 1980-1981 original tour.

Amazon stops taking pre-orders for Disney movies
August 10, 2014 | 3:25 am
By Chris Meadows
Amazon's been busy lately. Folks might remember that Amazon stopped taking pre-orders for Warner DVD/Blu-ray titles for a while, including The LEGO Movie, during a contract dispute similar to the contract negotiation it is undergoing with Hachette. (Unlike Hachette's, said dispute was resolved in a matter of weeks.)
Well, now it's Disney's turn to face the Wrath of 'Zon. Home Media Magazine reports that forthcoming Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment titles, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Maleficent, and Guardians of the Galaxy, have seen their pre-order buttons removed, replaced with "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available" buttons.
It remains to be seen whether this dispute can be resolved as quickly as Warner's. Amazon seems to be quite the busy little bee lately; at a guess, not everyone is happy about whatever new contract terms it is imposing. It also remains to be seen how many other major studios will have their pre-order buttons pulled, and we'll probably never know how many agreed to Amazon's terms right away.
Amazon's taking a bit of a risk here, making some of the biggest movies of the year unavailable for pre-order. A lot more people seem to care about movies than books these days, and it runs the risk of angering the consumers who up to now have been largely on Amazon's side in the Hachette dispute. Perhaps this shows just how crucial it is for Amazon to improve its profit margins and start appeasing shareholders. They're not playing around anymore.
Amazon revamps its rating calculations, favoring helpful, recent reviews of verified purchases
Barnes & Noble taps new CEO as revamped B&N e-commerce site hinders access to e-books
Appeals court upholds Cote's Apple anti-trust verdict and settlement
ePub and other sacrileges on the Voyage and Paperwhite: Easy jail-breaks ahead?
BookDrop: Email ebooks to your Kindle from Dropbox—even ePubs and other formats not normally supported
Hmmm. I wonder if Amazon is complaining that DVD prices are too high and that consumers shouldn't have to pay more than $6.99 for any movie. After all, it has cost the studios very little to put it out on DVD and virtually nothing if they allow digital downloading. That's what Amazon says about ebooks, and digital is digital, so I am assuming Amazon is making this fight for the movie consumer and not for Amazon. Amazon is my best friend; it and its many fans tell me so daily in the Hachette dispute, so I assume I will be told so here too.
Or do you really think it might be about Amazon's profits (or lack thereof but the need to start making some steady profits) and the consumers and artists be damned?
Obvious error in sentence 2.
"Folks might remember that Disney stopped taking pre-orders for Warner DVD/Blu-ray titles for a while, …"
Didn't know Disney took orders for Warner titles?
I think this "Folks might remember that Disney stopped taking pre-orders for Warner DVD/Blu-ray titles for a while, " is an error. Didn't you mean Amazon and not Disney?
Anyway, good to see Amazon is as annihilistic as Hamas.
While both companies have a similar market cap, Disney's P/E is a normal 20 while Amazon is a bubble bursting 832.
Disney made $6.6B profits while Amazon made $0.27B LOL.
Maybe it's time to short Amazon.
Amazon needs to keep its price low to preserve market share, but no one else cares.
The business model is kaput.
Ah, look for Amazon fanboys to start demonizing Disney now like they have Hachette. Chris has mentioned what may be one of their party lines, that Amazon wants DVD prices to be lower and is clashing with those greedy movie moguls. Yes, there is Amazon, always looking out for the consumer. Soon we'll be hearing that Jeff Bezos, having forsaken the world of material illusion altogether, has entered a monastery.
Keep in mind a critical difference between Amazon and publishers or movie-makers. Apart from a few of Amazon's own devices such as the Kindle HD, Amazon has essentially no investment in the products it sells. Digital books take up a tiny bit of space in huge server farms. DVDs sit on warehouse shelves and can easily be returned for a refund.
Even if Amazon tweaks the detail page for what's likely to be a hot-selling new book or movie DVD, its investment is likely to be no more than a few hundred dollars. And much of this fuss with Buy buttons being removed may be over Amazon's demand that it be compensated perhaps a thousand-fold over for those tweaks.
Amazon, having made no significant investment in creating a particular book or movie, looks at the market quite differently from those who have invested large sums in a specific book or movies and are taking great risks. Amazon cares not whether any particular book or movie sells, because it has essentially no costs from that book or movie to recover. What it cares for are greater sales en masse, and for that it intends to crush publishers and movie-makers, driving prices so low—to increase those en masse sales—that the resulting depressed market threatens the latter's ability to publish or make anything but the very safest of investments. That's what Hachette and others are complaining about. It's what Amazon fanboys don't understand.
Here are specifics. Disney may have spent $100 million dollars to create a movie. Amazon, using boilerplate scripts and marketing copy from Disney, might spent $100 creating the webpage that sells the movie's DVD. Disney needs to price that DVD high enough and sell enough copies to recoup its $100 million investment before it makes a penny of profit. Amazon only needs to sell perhaps a few hundred copies to recoup its minuscule, risk-free investment. That, incidentally, is why Amazon can be so cavalier about yanking those pre-order Buy buttons, while publishers and movie makers cannot. Like the typical bully, Amazon is exploiting its strengths and their weaknesses.
And no, I am not fan of Disney like I am no fan of Hachette, less so in fact. A few years ago someone who'd worked for Disney told me a chilling tale of the draconian non-disclosure agreement Disney requires all employees to sign. He/she wasn't brave enough to tell me what was being concealed, but it takes no genius to realize what the owner of giant amusement parks that attract children by the tens of millions might want to conceal. And the very fact that I couldn't come up with well-known incidents confirmed that worry.
So no, I don't worship at the altar of Disney. I don't even like the company, in part because it lurks behind the absurd copyright extension of the late 1990s. Disney, I have no doubt, is run by greedy SOBs, however good those Pixar-made films.
I just happen to believe that if giants, who may or may not be jerks, can be bullied, then the rest of us aren't safe. And that calls to mind a remark attributed to Martin Neimoller, an anti-Nazi Lutheran pastor, made about 1930s Germany:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
And no, the parallel isn't exact. Politicians who burn books aren't the equivalent of those who yank pre-order buttons from books, but the spirit is the same. It's those who believe in an "ein" or "one" anything. For Nazism that was "Ein volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer"—one people, one nation, one leader in much the same sense that Tolkien expresses about the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
And for Amazon, it is ein Einzelhandler—one retailer, with the power to dictate prices and availability rather than accept what their creators have chosen. The essence of fascism is that concept of a collective will embodied in a few. In Europe, it's characteristic of the radical left and right. In the U.S., where there was never a landed aristocracy, it's just characteristic of the radical left. Every so often a large business will adopt that as a mindset it thinks ever-so-clever.
It's only the fools who think that, because that concentration of power may mean that they can get this ebook or that DVD a little cheaper that it is a "good thing." It isn't. Concentrated power is always wrong, particularly when those who have that power have demonstrated a desire to abuse it.
What does in these imbibers of power is what the Greeks wrote about and Tolkien so brilliantly describes in The Lord of the Rings—hubris or extreme pride that leads to self-destruction. Too late, Sauron realized that those reports of a small band wandering about Mordor meant that his foes intended to destroy the One Ring. Being evil and obsessed with power, he could not even conceive that they would do such a thing.
And too late, Amazon will discover that individually bullying Hachette here and Disney there may seem a clever move but collectively, it'll bring about its destruction.
There's an old adage about not picking a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel. It's equally true that it's foolish to try to bully someone who regularly lunches with the news media executives in NYC. Do that, and you start getting bad press.
I think that Walmart is very happy right now. They do the exact same thing that Amazon does in negotiating deals with companies but the press has moved on from vilifying Walmart and moved onto Amazon.
This is part of the modern world, there is more openness about negotiations and the back and forth between companies.
Disney needs to be careful that they do not end up in the same position that the big 5 dinosaurs are in now. If you do not develop your own distribution channels you are doomed to bow to the likes of Amazon who do have the channels.

Swift Current City Council told argument city spends $8 million more than Yorkton are untrue
City refutes high spending argument
City officials definitively shot down claims that the City of Swift Current spends millions more that their counterparts in Yorkton during a simple explanation during Monday's City Council meeting.
"Yorkton collects about $9.5 million more in revenue than the City of Swift Current does, and our expenses are $5.4 million less than the City of Yorkton. In other words we actually spend $5.4 million less than Yorkton to provide the same, similar or better services than a city comparable to us," Chief Financial Officer Tim Marcus highlighted during Monday's meeting.
Councillor Ron Toles asked administration to clarify a figure in a recent letter to the editor that suggested Swift Current spends $8 million more per year than Yorkton. Toles felt it was important to shed some light on the allegation for residents who are concerned about such a statement.
"I did a comparison with the City of Yorkton using the 2012 Audited Financial Statements, as they include everything," Marcus explained to City Council. "I removed our Light and Power utility from the comparison because Yorkton doesn't have one. But I left the subsidy that they contribute into operating in there for comparative purposes."
Marcus also pointed out that Swift Current collects $6.3 million less in property taxes than Yorkton, or about 55 per cent of what is collected in Yorkton.
"Essentially, the extra revenue Yorkton collects over and above their expenses, is used to fund their capital, on average, about $5 million," Marcus told council.
He noted that if Swift Current had that extra revenue through higher taxes starting 10 years ago, the City of Swift Current would have had been able to fund $50 million in capital spending through the past decade instead of having debt financing for some projects.
Mayor Jerrod Schafer added council wanted to put the public's mind at ease regarding the true spending numbers as proven through Audited Financial Statements.
"It's pretty clear what the expenditures are, and they're certainly not more than the City of Yorkton," Schafer said.
Schafer also reminded the community that Swift Current is legally unable to have unbalanced budgets.
"Municipalities are not allowed to run deficit budgets. Here in the province of Saskatchewan our provincial government hasn't been running deficits through this time. But our federal government has, they have been spending more on an annual basis than they take in in revenue. We don't have that luxury as municipalities.
"The only way that we could be spending $8 million more is if we subsequently had $8 million in revenue. So we certainly don't have deficits every year, our auditors would obviously pick up on if we had a $100,000 deficit, let alone something in the millions. So that's not the case. And obviously we don't have significantly that much more in revenue than we do, so there's no way that we could be spending more."
"We can't run a deficit. So it's interesting about any type of an assertion that we would be spending significantly more than a comparable community. The only way that that could happen is if we had a revenue stream to go with it," Schafer said, adding "I think it's important that our residents can feel at ease knowing that that isn't the case."

A brand new mobile magazine, now available on iTunes, packed full of ideas and advice for home and pet owners, as well as caring travel enthusiasts, aligns perfectly with a fast growing trend for unique international lifestyle experiences.
House Sitting World magazine acknowledges that pets are now considered to be as important as children in many families, and many home and pet owners with travel plans, are fast tiring of staggering pet sitting and kennel costs, instead choosing to experience the money saving benefits of volunteer house sitters.
These days many house sitters are happy to house/pet sit for free in exchange for a comfortable retreat in a new location. In fact, many Expat home and pet owners have been using the free services of international house sitters for years.
As fulltime international house sitters themselves, the creators of this mobile magazine, are dedicated to spreading the concept across the globe. "Our aim is to let home and pet owners everywhere know they can actually travel more with less worries and expense by engaging volunteer house sitters." says Jodie Thompson, Publishing Director.
And soon people from all walks of life, all around the world, will be able to download the informative and entertaining digital magazine, 'House Sitting World' via any tablet or mobile device. "Our magazine is currently available on the iTunes appstore for iPad & iPhone and the plan is to be published on all Android and Kindle devices as soon as possible." adds Thompson.
The monthly magazine focuses on interviews with home owners, shares expert house sitter advice, stories from full-time travelers, inspiring travel experiences, and offers pet care information and heartwarming stories about animals that are much more settled in their home environment.
Thompson and her partner, Nat Smith, also host a Facebook group for experienced and budding house sitters along with home and pet owners from across the globe. "We've been blown away by the requests to join this free group" Smith continues, "especially since being recently interviewed on top rating Travel podcasts, 'Zero to Travel' and 'International Real Estate Listings', the response to this new trend in travel has been incredible!"
And all good timing for the couple's plans for the mobile magazine as well as their much talked about, upcoming podcast show.

Gary Moore & Al Frick Go To The Cdn Hall of Fame
Surprise Inductee Real Thing
Moore shocked to be in boxla hall of fame, but his credentials show otherwise
by Bernie Puchalski
The St. Catharines Standard
Friday July 18, 2008
Gary Moore was shocked when he received a phone call informing him he had been named to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. "I really didn't think it would ever happen," said the 69-year-old St. Catharines native, who in 2000 was named to Ontario hall of fame.
He had a hard time believing British Columbian Rick Richards, who was the bearer of the good news. "I said: 'Is this someone playing a joke on me?' And he said: "Why do you guys always have a reaction like that?' "
There's not many who would question Moore's induction into the Canadian lacrosse hall. He won a Minto Cup with Brampton in 1958 and a Mann Cup with Brantford in 1971. In a 215-game senior career, he amassed 304 goals and 178 assists in 215 games.
"I think my best assets were that I could handle the ball very well and I could shoot the ball. It took me a long time before I became a defensive-minded player," he said, with a laugh. It was his ability to put the ball in the net that saw him and Long Branch's Bobby Davidson picked up for Brampton's Minto Cup run. "They were so great. We beat the Victoria Shamrocks four straight and it was the two of us that did most of the scoring for those four games."
Moore would have loved to have won a Minto or Mann Cup wearing an Athletics jersey but it never happened. He started playing lacrosse in Port Dalhousie and played there until midget. He played junior with the A's in 1956, senior with the A's in 1957, and junior with the A's again in 1958. "Lacrosse was something I grew up with in Port Dalhousie and I always liked the way they (juniors) were able to throw the ball around. I got hold of a stick from one of those players and I started practicing," the father of four said.
Moore watches four or five junior A and B lacrosse games a season. "My one daughter (Sindee Reeds) drags me out. She's really into it." The grandfather loves the way the game is played today and its modern rules. "I can remember playing against Brampton and they would be up two goals with five minutes to play and we might not get the ball back. I like the shot clock a lot better."
Also inducted into the hall were St. Catharines native Al Frick, Bill McBain, Ves Vessy, Todd Lorenz, Larry Bell, John Grant Sr., Ross McDonald, Gail Cummings-Danson, and the 1994-96 Six Nations Chiefs.
Frick, who has lived Guelph since 1962, won a Minto Cup with the St. Catharines Athletics in 1950. As a senior player, the Ontario lacrosse hall of famer scored more than 200 goals and 100 assists with St. Catharines. "It's nice for Whitey (his brother) and myself to be in the same hall," the 77- year-old said.
The retired finance department employee with the Guelph board of education said there was no sibling rivalry to see who would be the first inducted into the Canadian lacrosse hall. "Whitey is a builder and I'm a player so I got it over him," he said with a laugh.
As for what kind of player he was, Al Frick described himself as a regular forward, sometimes a centerman and sometimes a winger. "I was better at scoring. I didn't do too much defending because I only weighed 140 pounds at the time."
Frick had a tough time deciding on any lacrosse moment that could be described as his most memorable. "I had so much lacrosse that nothing was what I could call by biggest spot. I just enjoyed playing minor lacrosse in St. Catharines. I just enjoyed lacrosse and that's where I spent all my summer; at the Thomas Street grounds (site of present Haig Bowl)."
His biggest minor lacrosse moment came in his bantam year. "We won the championship at Maple Leaf Gardens."
The Minto Cup wasn't as memorable and he couldn't recall which team the A's played in the national junior championship. "I do remember that whole year we never lost a single game. I don't think any other team in lacrosse can say that."
The induction ceremony will be held Nov. 1 in Burnaby, B. C.

Hydraulic X-Change Attachment Mounting System Now on 331, 425 and 430 ExcavatorsWEST FARGO, N.D. � June 2007
The new Hydraulic X-Change� attachment mounting system is now available on Bobcat� 331, 425 and 430 compact excavators, and it delivers a faster and easier method of changing attachments without the need for tools. No longer must compact excavator operators manually position or align attachment pins during hook-up with the Hydraulic X-Change mounting system from Bobcat Company.
This optional system for Bobcat compact excavators features hydraulically activated retention pins that can be set in motion by flipping a switch inside the cab. It retracts the pins for attachment removal and extends them for attachment hook up, thus saving the operator time and labor. Then, the operator simply installs the retainer pins before operating.
Bobcat representatives say the ease of the new feature will encourage operators to use the proper-sized excavator bucket and the best attachment for the job, resulting in improved operator efficiency and machine utilization.
�Attachment capabilities make a big impact on operators� productivity,� said Tom Connor, excavator product specialist for Bobcat Company. �When you use the right attachment for the job it can mean fuel savings, less time spent backfilling and less wear and tear on the machine.� Several attachments can be used with Bobcat compact excavators, including the trenching bucket, grading bucket, hydraulic breaker, auger and compactor.
The Hydraulic X-Change attachment mounting system was designed to maintain optimal �pin-on� bucket geometry, so that arm and bucket forces aren�t compromised and remain the same as excavators without the option. This means operators aren�t sacrificing performance for easy attachment changes.
The optional attachment mounting system was already available on the larger 335, 435 and 337 Bobcat excavator models.
The widely known Bobcat brand includes an extensive line of powerful, nimble compact construction equipment and attachments and state-of-the-art engineering capabilities.
QuickLook: Hydraulic X-Change Attachment Mounting System
- Now available on Bobcat� 331, 425 and 430 compact excavators, in addition to the larger 335, 435 and 337 models
- Hydraulically activated attachment retention pins
- Eliminates manual positioning and aligning of attachment pins
- Improves operator efficiency and machine utilization
- Encourages use of proper attachments
- Maintains optimal �pin-on� bucket geometry

Issues with the adjusting the length of the dog bones?
I'm curious what the effect of shortening or lengthening the dog bones might have on the rear suspension. I have a KTM 640 and have put different dogbones on to reduce the height a bit (short legs) and this has definately affected the feel of the suspension, as it feels harder initially and bottoms more easily. The concensus as to why this is occuring (if I recall correctly) seems to be that doing this affects the rising rate of the suspension for the worse. I also tried a greater reduction in ride height and the effect was more pronounced, with the shock bottoming way to easily. If anyone is interested I can probably find a link to a long thread about this.
On a related note I think a longer swinging arm would give greater leverage on the shock, but this could probably be tuned out with a heavier spring and a re valve as the rising rate effect would not be compromised (I think).
Anyone any other thoughts about this? At the end of the day I'm just wondering if a bit more travel could be gained and at the risk of offending the DR afficonados, as slightly better fork/shock be adapted to fit?
That said though the DR/SV suspension certainly fits with the ethos of the bike and it's suited purpose, I'm just curious I suppose what's possible with the GS.
