Robert Walter Quarry (3 November 1925 – 20 February 2009) was an American actor, known for several prominent horror film roles.
Life and career[edit]
Quarry was born in Santa Rosa, California, the son of Mable (née Shoemaker) and Paul Quarry, a doctor. His grandmother was an actress. He left school at the age of 14 to pursue a career in radio.[1]
During World War II in November 1943, Quarry joined the United States Army, where he formed a theatrical troupe. After the war he acted again, first for RKO and then for MGM. It was at this time that he befriended Katharine Hepburn.[1]
His films include Count Yorga, Vampire (1970), its sequel The Return of Count Yorga (1971), and Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), in which he played alchemist Dr. Biederbeck pitted against Vincent Price's Phibes in a race to find the mythical elixir of eternal life. Although it is well known that Price did not care for his co-star— once, when Quarry was singing in his dressing room during the making of Dr Phibes Rises Again, he said to Price, "You didn't know I could sing did you?" and Price replied: "Well I knew you couldn't act"— the two were later also paired in Madhouse (1974).[2]
American International Pictures had plans for Quarry to succeed Price, signing him to a long term contract,[3] but the decline in the company's fortunes, and old style horror films falling out of fashion, meant that it never happened. Quarry did make further horror film appearances, as the hippy guru vampire Khorda in 1973's The Deathmaster and as a gangster in the 1974 zombie movie Sugar Hill. A third Count Yorga film was often rumored to be in the works, but never materialised.[citation needed]
Quarry made several guest appearances on TV shows, including two 1965 on Perry Mason: defendant Danny Talbert in "The Case of the Deadly Debt," and Coach Casey Banks in "The Case of the 12th Wildcat." He also appearanced on The Rockford Files episode, "Requiem For a Funny Box", as Lee Russo. He played disfigured gunrunner Commander Corliss in the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode "Return of the Fighting 69th". He played in two episodes of the Lone Ranger, "Texas Draw" and "Broken Match."
In 1980 he was in a in an accident, in which he was struck by a drunk driver. It resulted in serious facial injuries.[4] He was also mugged in Hollywood shortly thereafter.[1]
In 1987, Quarry returned to film with Cyclone directed by Fred Olen Ray.[1] Quarry would be cast in over 20 of Ray's films in the remainder of his career.
Quarry died at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California at the age of 83.[5]

`Free Trade' Disguises Need for Commitment to Just Social Policies
Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, Jr., St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
The trade debate raging around the North American Free Trade Agreement is mired in a fog of outdated economic ideas. Only a trade specialist could take seriously such vacuous slogan-words as "free trade" and "protectionism" when a third of our "foreign" trade is American companies outsourcing work to off-shore subsidiaries to reap the advantages of low paid labor. Most of the current trade with Mexico represents intermediate products destined for return to the United States or to other markets after they have been enhanced in value by cheaper Mexican workers.
In recent years, the international flow of goods and services has dramatically expanded, but the gap between the rich and the poor has doubled and the assault on natural systems - marine fisheries, tropical forests, top soil, rivers and the protective ozone layer - has dangerously intensified. In this context, the slogan "free trade" misses the point. Instead of wasteful production and frenetic global exchange, we need a national commitment to just social policies, vibrant communities and reduction of our impact on the environment.
Listening to those who argue so dogmatically for free trade, one would never guess that the concept was only invented in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when conditions were totally different.
Perhaps the most famous exponent of free trade was David Ricardo, a 19th-century political economist from England. Modern world trade is based upon his theory of comparative advantage. Rarely remembered is the parallel doctrine of Ricardo: the so-called Iron Law of Wages. Under this infamous theory, the "natural" price of labor was deemed to be just enough to allow a worker bare subsistence, plus enough to produce a child to replace him upon his death or disability.
Today, the modern ideologues of free trade don't say openly that working people should live at bare subsistence levels. Instead, they design algebraic models that "prove" the value of deregulated markets and uncontrolled international trade. Absent from their equations, however, are any moral ideas about social justice or environmental stewardship.
Washington insiders talk as though "free trade" always raises wages and generates good jobs. The facts indicate otherwise. Since 1973, American trade with other nations has doubled, but the value of American weekly paychecks has fallen 18 percent. In the last decade alone, the number of young men working full time who earn only a poverty wage has increased 100 percent.
The U.S. economy expanded - national income per capita grew 28 percent - but the benefits were channeled to those with the highest incomes. …

A case for a portable electronic device such as cell phones, cameras, MP3 players and PDAs wherein said case includes material at the corners to provide protection to the electronic device. To reduce bulk at the corners and allow the material forming the case to conform with the contours of the device, the protection at the corners includes strips of material defining apertures there between. The apertures provide reduction in bulk and allow the case to conform to the corners of the device therein. Alternately, the protection at the corners can be provided by other structures co-molded into the corners of the cases. Such structures include material that is of a reduced thickness than other material used in the case, or structures that are formed to conform to the corners of the case. Such structures can be joined to the material forming the panels of the case by co-molding.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/756,157 filed on Jan. 4, 2006. The Application is also a continuation in part of U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/275,443 filed on Jan. 3, 2006, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/641,204, filed Jan. 3, 2005, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
This invention relates to carrying cases for portable electronic devices, such as cell phones, cameras, MP3 players, and PDAs. More particularly, the invention relates to cases having corner protectors. Further, the invention relates to a case for a clamshell type cellular phone. The invention also relates to methods for producing the case using a co-molding process.
Cell phones, pagers, PDA's, MP3 players, and other portable electronic devices have become increasingly popular. Users of the devices like to keep the devices readily accessible on their person. Due to their portable nature, the devices are also subject to being dropped and otherwise roughly handled, which can result in damage to the electronics inside, or to the plastic housing of the device. To address the above concerns, cases have been developed to both carry and protect the portable electronic devices. These cases often include a clip or other retaining structure to allow the case to be removably attached to the user's clothing, such as a belt.
The clips or retainers commonly used are removeably attached to the case by fastening to a plastic post, which itself is attached to the case. The plastic post can be an integral part of the case, being formed of the same material as the case. In other prior art embodiments, the post is a separate piece, sewn into or otherwise permanently attached to the case. While this provides a secure attachment post for the clip, the post becomes a cumbersome and unwanted protrusion when the clip is removed. The case disclosed herein is provided with a detachable post, thereby providing a case unburdened with unnecessary protrusions. The case disclosed herein also provides an attachment point for other accessories such as a light, velcro, keychain or magnets.
The portable electronic cases of the prior art are generally constructed of leather, nylon, or other material provided in sheets. The material is cut to predetermine sizes to form panels, which are then sewn or otherwise attached to form a pocket for holding the portable electronic device. With this type of construction, if one desires parts of a panel to have different physical properties, such as elasticity, texture, color or clarity, different pieces of material must be physically joined to one another to create a panel having the desired characteristics. Typically, the materials are joined by stitching, heat weld, or adhesive. The seams created at the joints add unwanted bulk and add to the cost of construction. It is therefore desirable to produce a case that includes different physical properties, but does not require pieces to be mechanically joined. To that end, the case disclosed herein is constructed of a co-molded material.
For cases designed for clamshell devices, such as cellular phones, the prior art teaches cases having two detachable pocket sections. Each pocket section fits over a section of the clamshell phone and are then connected by a snap, zipper, or velcro. Because of the nature of the case materials, if the pocket sections were not detachable, there would be no way to place the case on the phone, as leather and nylon do not stretch sufficiently to allow one pocket to be placed on the phone and then have the other pocket placed on the phone. By use of the co-molded material described herein, sufficient elasticity may be incorporated into the case to allow the case to be constructed as a single unit. In other words, the two pockets do not have to be separable. Further, the elasticity of the material allows the case to give and fit the contours of the phone in a superior fashions when compared to the prior art.
The invention disclosed herein is an improvement for cases typically used with cell phones and portable electronic devices. Some of the cases described include cut out areas or apertures or areas without material at corners of the device. The apertures allow for reduced thickness and bulk where the case would normally cover the corners of the device. This aperture or open area allows the cell phone case to be constructed without the need to notch or dart the case material to allow the material to fit the curve of the corner of the cell phone or other portable device.
However, the resulting apertures are not without their problems. The apertures leave the corners of the cell phone exposed and unprotected. If the cell phone or other portable electronic device is dropped, the exposed corner of the device may be subject to impact with the ground, possibly resulting in damage of breakage of the device. Thus, it is object of the invention to provide protection to the cell phone or electronic device, while still providing a construction that eliminates or reduces the issues associated with sewing or otherwise bonding materials to fit a curved surface.
The disclosure describes an improved portable electronics case and a method of constructing the same. The cell phone case is formed of a co-molded material produced by pouring a first liquid plastic into a mold, and then pouring a second liquid plastic into the mold, the second plastic having physical characteristics different from the first. Once set, the material is removed from the mold and sewn to form pockets for the electronic device.
If the case is to be used for a clamshell type cellular phone, two pockets are formed, the pockets sharing a common or continuous panel Further, the disclosure describes a unitary case for clamshell phones, allowing for both donning and removal of the case onto the phone as a unit.
Further, the disclosure describes a case including a removable post or attachment point for a clip. The retainer used to hold the removable post, may be used to house other devices, such as a light, keychain, velcro, magnets, or other useful items.
Shown herein as the preferred embodiment is a case for a clamshell cellular phone. One skilled in the art will recognize the construction, materials, and methods can be applied to other cases for portable electronic devices, and need not be limited to the clamshell design shown in the figures. With reference to the figures, the case 10 includes a first pocket 15 and a second pocket 20 for receiving a portion of the cell phone 11. The case 10 includes a backbone panel 25. The backbone panel 25 forms part of both the first pocket 15 and the second pocket 20. The first pocket 15 includes a face sheet 30, made of a clear material allowing a user to see the display 31 of the cell phone 1, when the cell phone 11 is inserted into the first pocket 15. The face sheet 30 is attached to the backbone panel 25 about part of its perimeter to form the first pocket 15. In an alternate embodiment, intermediate side panels 35 and 36 (as used on the second pocket 20) are used to attach the backbone panel 25 to the face sheet 30. The various components forming the first pocket 15 are attached to one another using heat welding, adhesive, stitching 21, or any other construction method to join two materials known in the art. One skilled in the art will recognize that the pockets of the case 10 can be formed of any number of panels, so as to suit the shape of the phone 11 or other portable device.
As shown in
The backbone panel 25 can include a window 48 to allow a user to see the outside display of the cell phone 11. The window 48 is formed of a clear material. The window 45 is joined to the backbone panel 25 by heat welding, adhesive, or stitching 21, or any other construction know in the art. With a judicious selection of materials, the window 35 may be co-molded into the backbone panel 25 during the manufacture of the backbone panel 25, as described herein for other structures.
The second pocket 20 is formed in a similar fashion, by attaching the backbone panel 25 to a front panel 37 about portions of its perimeter. As shown in the drawings, the second pocket 20 includes side panels 35 and 36. One skilled in the art will recognize that many different configurations, panels, and places to attach the pieces together may be used to produce the first pocket 15 and second pocket 20.
The first pocket 15 and second pocket 20 are to be joined by a continuous piece of material; that is the first 15 and second 20 pocket are not attached by velcro, snaps, buttons, zippers, or any other structure which allows easy detachment and reattachment from and to one another. With the single or continuous panel forming part of both pockets, a backbone panel 25 is formed linking the two pockets.
In use, the case 10 is placed onto the phone 11 by inserting part of the opened phone into one or the other of the first pocket 15 or the second pocket 20. Since the face sheet 30 is typically longer than the front panel 37, thereby creating a first pocket 15 that is deeper than the pocket formed by the front panel 37, when donning, it is preferable to insert the phone 11 into the first pocket 15 before inserting the phone into the second pocket 20, as shown in
Although the backbone panel 25 forms part of both the first 15 and second 20 pockets, and is one continuous piece, it need not be a uniform or homogenous piece. In other words, the backbone panel 25 may be formed of a plurality of pieces or materials attached to each other by stitching, heat welding, adhesive, or other permanent attachment. For instance, the center portion 45 can be formed of an elastic material, while the portions forming the pockets 15, 20 can be of a less elastic material.
In the preferred embodiment, the backbone panel 25 is formed by co-molding. Other parts of the case may also be formed by this process. Co-molding allows the part or panel being manufactured to easily incorporate different properties, colors, textures, shapes or other characteristics, while allowing for efficient construction. To construct the backbone panel 25 or other part, a mold 100 is constructed. As shown in
As shown in
For instance, the first substance 120 is placed in the mold 100 only in the area for piping 111, as shown in
In the instance of the first substance 120 being EPE, the liquid EPE is placed in the desired area of the mold 100 at room temperature. The EPE is then spread out and forced into the desired areas, such as piping 111 or textured area 101, where air voids are likely. The mold 100 containing the EPE is then heated, and then cooled to room temperature.
The second material 140 is then poured. The second material 140 may have different properties than the first material 120. For instance, the second material 140 may be of a different color or texture. In some embodiments, the area of the mold 100 into which the second material 140 is poured may have a surface treatment or texture 101 to produce a surface texture on the finished product.
In a similar fashion, other pours may be made of either the same material, or different ones, until the panel having the desired characteristics is complete.
Shown in
With reference to the mold shown in
Once the desired materials are poured and cured, the co-molded panel is removed from the mold and sewn or otherwise attached to other panels to produce the case.
In other embodiments, the co-molding process allows other structures to be placed or integrated into the panel. For instance, once the first substance 120 is poured, additional materials can be placed into the mold, to create a panel having areas with different characteristics. The materials may be the same substance, or include a second substance 140 for co-molding, or may include other materials or structures, such as scrims, reinforcements, or windows, judiciously placed within the mold to create areas having particular structural characteristics.
For instance, a scrim 130 or other woven or non-woven reinforcement may be placed in areas where there will be stitching during the assembly of the case. Such scrims are placed where the panel will be stitched to lesson the likelihood of the stitching pulling through the case material. Similarly, a scrim can be placed in the area of the aperture for the clip post, thereby reinforcing that area. In other embodiments, the window 48 is placed in the mold prior to the second material pour, thereby eliminating the need to stitch the window 48 in place, as the window will be co-molded between the first material and the second material, and thereby retained. In another example shown in
In other embodiments, and as a direct result of co-molding process, portions of a panel can be thicker or thinner than other sections. For instance, areas where the finished product will include stitching can easily be made thicker to prevent pull through. Other areas, such as the textured area of the mold in
In additional to the layers shown in the figures, a final lining material such as rayon, may be applied either by spraying or laminating, onto the last poured layer. The lining material allows the cellular phone, or other portable device, to easily slide into and out of the case.
With reference to
As shown in
Areas 17 c and 17 d include strips of material 2 a-d, which divide the open areas 17 c and 17 d and provide some material over the otherwise exposed corners of the cell phone 11. Defined another way, open areas 17 a and d include strips of material 2 a-d, thereby defining a plurality of apertures 5 a-f. One skilled in the art will recognize the number of apertures can be varied. For example, the open areas 17 c and d could include netting, or strips of material placed in different directions.
As shown in
For example, a co-molding process, such as described previously herein, could be used to place protective structures, such as strips, molded corner protectors, netting, or other structures, at the corners of the case. These structures can be thicker than the sheets of material 8 and 9 forming the walls of the case 10, to allow for more protection to the corners. For instance, with reference to
Is an alternate embodiment, reinforcement members or other preformed structures, that is structures molded to the contours of the case, are placed within the open areas and secured to the material or panels of the cell phone case 10 to provide protection at the corners of the electronic device or cell phone 11. Because the structures are molded or formed, they can be made of a specific thickness that is different than the panels forming the case 10.
The case 10, no matter how produced, can include a detachable clip 200. With reference to
The post 210 is removably attached to the case 10. The case 10 includes an aperture 216 sized to allow the lug 214 to fit through yet is not large enough to allow the base 212 to pass. The post 210 is positioned so that the lug 214 extends outwardly away from the case 10, and the base 212 remains in the case 10, the base 212 being too large to fit through the aperture 216. The base 212 is retained in position by a retainer 220, the retainer 220 limiting movement and securing the base 212 when engaged. When disengaged, the retainer 220 allows the post 210 to be removed from the case 10.
In the preferred embodiment, the base 212 is a generally thin, flat member, having a perimeter including two parallel straight portions 222 and two curved portions 230. The retainer 220 is slightly thicker than the base 212, and includes a recess 225 to receive the base 212. The recess 225 may go entirely through the retainer 220 as an aperture. The perimeter of the recess 225 is generally concentric with the perimeter of the base 212. The retainer 220 includes tabs 226 which extend over the base 212, to keep the base 212 from moving in a direction perpendicular to the base 212. In the preferred embodiment, the tabs 226 are located to extend over the curved portions 230 of the base 212. The retainer 220 is attached to the inside of the case 10 so that it is located about the aperture 216. The retainer 220 is attached to the case by any means known in the art, including stitching, heat weld, and adhesive. The retainer 220 could also be co-molded into the case 10, or formed as part of the case.
In use, the post 210 is attached to the case 10 by inserting the lug 214 into the aperture 216 from the inside of the case. The retainer 220 is convexly flexed to allow the curved portion 230 of the base 212 to be inserted under a tab 226. Once positioned, the retainer 220 is unflexed and the opposite curved portion 223 is allowed to snap under the remaining tab 226, thereby securing the base 212 between the case 10 material and the tabs 226.
To remove the post, the retainer 220 is again convexly flexed to snap base 212 over the tab 226, allowing the base to be disengaged from the retainer 220 and the lug 214 to be pushed through the aperture 216, thereby removing the post 210 from the case 10. In such a fashion, the post 210 may be selectively attached to the case, or removed, as desired by the user.
One skilled in the art will recognize other structures could be used to connect a post to a retaining structure on the case. An example of such an embodiment includes a retainer 240 and base 250 that include mating structures that allow the base 250 to be separated and reconnected to the retainer 240.
In the embodiment shown in
The retainer 240 includes an aperture 280 sized to allow the lug 270 to pass through. As shown in
The base 250 can also include separation recesses 320 and 321 at its perimeter. The separation recesses are areas exposed to the perimeter that are of reduced thickness. When the base 250 and retainer 240 are mated, the separation recesses allow space between the two structures to allow a fingernail or other object to lever the two structures apart.
The retainer 240 includes a plurality of receivers 290, 291 for receiving and engaging the shafts 260 and 261. In the embodiment shown in
In an alternate embodiment shown in
As shown in
One skilled in the art will recognize that other types of constructions may be utilized in attaching the post to the case. One such constructive is a bayonet mount, as shown in
In use, the post 500 is inserted into aperture base end 540 first, such that projections 525 a-d are inserted into notches 522 a-d. Adjacent notches 525 a-d are flanges 535 a-d. The flanges are generally arcuate in shape and form part of the aperture 520 perimeter, thus restraining the post 500 from side to side movement. The flanges 535 a-d are of a thickness less than the thickness of the base 510, so as to accommodate the projections 525 a-d when the post 500. The base 510 also includes stops 545 a-b on the flanges 535 a-b so that rotation of the post is stopped, preventing over rotation of the post 500.
The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative of the invention and are not meant to limit the scope of the invention.

OK, Im watching Monday Night Football, but Im thinking about the Reds. If the Reds were a professional football team, who would fill each position? Looking at the 40-man roster, Ive compiled the following line-up for the offense.
QB: Dunn, simply because you constantly hear that he played at Texas.
RB: Larue, he likes to get dirty. And, hes scrappy.
FB: Valentin, because hes too slow to play anywhere else.
OL: Harang, Coffey, Standridge, Weathers, Hattebergthey weigh the most.
WR: Freel, Phillipsthey are speedy and not afraid to get hit.
TE: Ross, because hes big and hes used to getting hit.
IR: Griffey. How long could he stay healthy if he were playing football?
DL: Shackelford, Hollandsworth, Belisle, Majewski, Lohse: Big. Keep an eye on Majewski, he tends to get fatigued.
LB: EE, Castro, Claytoncrafty, but Clayton sometimes has trouble hitting.
DBs: Denorfia, Olmedo, Gil, Harrisspeedy, inexperienced.
P/K: Arroyo, I could see this guy as a kicker right now!

Any Lobster Rolls in San Diego?
All this talk of Lobster Rolls on the New England Boards and even San Francisco has me wondering if I can find one in San Diego! Has anyone had a Lobster Roll in San Diego, good or bad?
I know Studio Diner in Kearny Mesa has lobster rolls. Having never had one before, I had nothing with which to compare it but I thought the one I had was pretty tasty!
Boston and Maine, top floor of Horton Plaza does belly clam rolls and shrimp rolls...and they have lobster...never looked to see if they had lobster rolls after I got real belly clam rolls again....
My husband says they do sell lobster rolls.
We just both *really* like belly clams....
re: notjustastomach
When Studio Diner first opened (within the first three months) Hubby and I went there and got the belly clam roll. The clams were way overcooked, almost burned, and the roll it was served on was stale/old bread. (Our other order was the basic chili size; it was not special). Needless to say, we have not been back.
re: notjustastomach
I, too, was disappointed in the quality of the lobster used at Studio Diner. The meat was shredded too finely; I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they use canned lobster (is there such a thing?) After having had the real deal in Boston and New York, I am still looking for some good lobster rolls in San Diego...
- The original comment has been removed
It's definately an East Cost thing, I think the price to ship lobsters out here would make it very expensive to make and sell, on the EC boards they advertise lobsters at under $4. pp. Also, the EC has a lot of CH activity for Steak Tips, I've had them out there but, you won't see them here.

Remember Me
The lineup of Punch Brothers — whose name is taken from the Mark Twain short story, "Punch, Brothers, Punch!" — is formidable. Thile released the first of five solo albums when he was just thirteen and, by the time he was 20, he was attracting a following among pop, country, and alternative-rock audiences as a member of the Grammy Award–winning Nickel Creek. NPR's Bob Boilen recently said "I've seen many musicians in my day, but my jaw dropped listening to and watching Thile play... The command he had of his instrument, from frenetically fast strumming to tasty quiet fills, it was just first-rate."
His band-mates are among the most in-demand performers in the worlds of bluegrass, folk, and traditional music. Guitarist Chris Eldridge was a founding member of the Nashville-based Infamous Stringdusters and occasionally sits in with his dad Ben's band, The Seldom Scene; bassist Greg Garrison has played with trumpeter Ron Miles and Leftover Salmon — along with banjo player Noam Pikelny. Pikelny he has performed and recorded as a solo artist and has collaborated with acoustic music heavyweights John Cowan and Tony Trischka. Violinist Gabe Witcher, a life-long friend of Thile's, is a sought-after session man whose fiddle-playing has been featured on the soundtrack of films ranging from "Toy Story" to "Brokeback Mountain." Witcher also has recorded with a range of artists from Willie Nelson to Beck to Randy Newman and played in dobro master Jerry Douglas' band for six years. Thile says, "I can't imagine being more excited about a project than I am about Punch Brothers. The possibilities are endless with these guys!"

Dirk Pitt returns in the extraordinary new novel from the #1 New York Times--bestselling author.
In A.D. 327, a Roman galley barely escapes a pirate attack with its extraordinary cargo. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions. Does anything tie them together?
NUMA director Dirk Pitt is about to find out, as Roman artifacts discovered in Turkey and Israel unnervingly connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire, and to the existence of a mysterious "manifest," lost long ago, which if discovered again . . . just may change the history of the world as we know it.
Clive Cussler is the author of many New York Times bestsellers, most recently The Spy and Lost Empire. He lives in Arizona.
DIRK CUSSLER, has an MBA from Berkeley, worked many years in the financial arena and has been an active participant in the real-life NUMA® expeditions, and served as president of the NUMA® advisory board of trustees. He lives in Arizona.

Midfielder Nigel de Jong is confident the time has come for the Netherlands to break their FIFA World Cup™ duck after they finally gained revenge over Brazil.
Dutch hopes of winning the trophy for the first time were dashed by the Brazilians in the quarter-finals in 1994 and again in a heart-breaking semi-final shoot-out four years later. But this time around, it is the South Americans who are heading home early with their dreams of a sixth title in tatters following a remarkable turnaround at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth yesterday.
Instead, the Dutch will face Uruguay, who edged out sole African survivors Ghana in a penalty shoot-out last night, in Cape Town on Tuesday evening believing their time has finally come. De Jong said: "Why not? The belief has always been there. We have reached the semi-final and we will see what happens now.
"Now we have to analyse our next opponents and make sure we can go on from the semi-final. Like I said at the beginning of the tournament, you have got to beat everybody to reach the final. Now we have beaten Brazil, we have to make sure we do the same to our next opponent."
The history between the two nations was a major topic of discussion in the run-up to the game, and Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt later admitted that provided even greater motivation. However, he also insisted the Dutch arrived in South Africa firmly believing they could go one better than their predecessors did in both 1974 and 1978, when they were beaten in the final.
Kuyt said: "We already had that feeling before the tournament, that on our day, we can beat every country in the world. But at the end of the day, we have to show it and we showed it. We deserved to win. We won 2-1, but the chances we had, it could have been 3-1 or 4-1. It was revenge for '98 and I am glad that we have turned it around.
"But at the end of the day, the most important thing for us today was to win and to show the world we can compete with the best teams in the world. It's unbelievable. I really enjoyed it, playing at the highest level in the quarter-final. But now we are focused on the next game. I don't think we realise how big it is at this stage because we have to be focused and we have to try to go all the way."
Kuyt paid credit to Wesley Sneijder, who headed the winning goal. "We always practise corners and today, it was the perfect corner. We were all so happy that the corner was good - but also that the smallest man on the pitch scored the goal. I you had bet on Wesley Sneijder scoring with a header, you would be a millionaire."
Robin van Persie and Joris Mathijsen, meanwhile, have been sent to hospital for scans after picking up injuries before and during yesterday's game. Hamburg defender Mathijsen pulled up in the warm-up ahead and had to be withdrawn, while Arsenal forward Van Persie is thought to have hurt his arm during the match in Port Elizabeth.
Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said: "He's in hospital at this moment to have a scan. And for Joris Mathijsen it's the same. Both are in the hospital for scans. Robin has an arm problem and Joris a knee problem. I don't know what it is, so that's why they are in the hospital now."

"Never too old" janeolga's Profile
As we've got older we've decided we much prefer to travel simply. We did turn our backs on "the high life" because we enjoy basic travel at a basic cost that puts us in touch with real people. One on, one off and one in the wash is our motto when travelling.. Colin, my husband of 46 years and I have been lucky enough to visit many countries. Some in a luxourious way but the best backpacking. We have an"adopted" Nepalese son and his family and have a great time learning about each other's country and culture. Three years ago we enjoyed three months backpacking in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and popped into Brazil and Paraguay. Interests are music, walking (but not trekking so much these days!) reading entertaining family and meeting new people.We made quite a few friends in South America and have even met up with a couple, one from Uruguay and one from Germany since we returned. The internet has been invaluable in keeping in touch with many more.
We wrote quite a successful book about our travels in South America entitled "Where Are We Now? The Story of Two Pensioners in Patagonia and Other Peculiar Places" and have given numerous talks as well.
We are off up the Amazon and Orinoco rivers for six weeks and I hate to admit we are going on a cruise but the deal was too good to miss. We are however steering away from all the organised tours and hoping to get some good advice from all of you out there as to where to go and what to see during our limited times ashore.
We shall be visiting Belem, Almeirim,Alter do Chao, Parintins, Manaus, Santarem, Paraiso, Boca de Jari, Macapa, Iles du Salut and Puerto Ordaz. I'm hoping it will be good fun and we will have plenty of opportunity to meet people and make new friends.
I feel another book coming on!

As water travels through and across a watershed, its quantity and quality changes dramatically based on human activities and the things – usually chemicals – that we add to it.
Understanding the increasing pressures on watersheds has been the work of the Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets (ACWA) and IBM Alberta Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS). The partnership, which just celebrated its 10 anniversary, brings together the latest data tools to tackle one of the biggest challenges in managing water – ensuring that people across the watershed have a fuller understanding of what is taking place.

New York's Lake George is a pristine, 32-mile-long lake in the Adirondack Mountains that is noted for its water quality and clarity. While the lake is very clean, it faces multiple anthropogenic threats, including road salt incursion and several invasive species.
The Jefferson Project at Lake George, a joint research collaboration involving Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, IBM Research, and the FUND for Lake George, is focused on protecting the lake and helping address the world's looming freshwater supply challenges.
The project involves more than 60 scientists around the world (four IBM Research labs are involved), including biologists, computer scientists, physicists, engineers and chemists.

During the past week, I have seen first-hand how the spirit of entrepreneurship is thriving across the region – from South Africa, to Mozambique, to Kenya where I am today. Dozens of tech hubs are popping up in African cities. Continue Reading »

A star athlete wearing a new brand of headphones during practice prompts millions of fans to go to a retailer's website to buy them. A sleeper movie hit suddenly sparks sudden interest in the novel on which it was based. A young celebrity wears an affordable dress on the red carpet and creates a surge in orders.
While overnight sensations like these can be boons for business, they often catch suppliers and retailers off guard, especially online retailers.
Sudden influxes of online shoppers can, and do, bring down commerce sites – sometimes at the very moment the retailer is counting on big sales. The situation is untenable. Today's websites look beautiful and feel seamless, but behind the state-of-art facade they are often interacting with applications that may have been developed decades ago. Continue Reading »
A new study from IBM's Institute for Business Value uncovers some sobering news on the state of higher education. Of the nearly 1,000 academic and business leaders surveyed, 51 percent believe the current higher education system fails to meet the needs of students while nearly 60 percent believe it fails to meet the needs of industry. The Smarter Planet blog caught up with David Zaharchuk, Research Lead, IBV, and one of the lead authors of the new study, to get some perspective on these findings and learn what might be done to enable higher education systems to remain viable.
Smarter Planet: It's clear from these numbers that the value of the traditional higher education model is being questioned by the very people who are shaping it. Why?
David Zaharchuk: Higher education is absolutely in a state of transition. Leaders identified a number of challenges as to why the system is struggling. Continue Reading »

Wendy Hite is a bit of a food snob. She grew up in South West Louisiana, where food and family are all mixed up in the great gumbo of life, and, for the longest time, she couldn't imagine how she could improve on traditional Cajun-style cooking.
Until she met Chef Watson, that is.
She used the cognitive cooking discovery program to develop a crawfish deviled egg dish that was mighty tasty–familiar, in some ways, but also new to her. "This has been fun," she says. "It gets you to try new things and to be more creative than you normally would be." Continue Reading »

If there's one thing that developers like more than solving a problem it's not having to encounter operational issues that stifle their creativity and output.
With startups, scale is the name of the game. But frankly, any company committed to innovation and customer satisfaction, whether large enterprise or nascent mobile app developer, should be thinking about scalability.
As CTO of late-stage startup Mindjet, my primary concern is delivering a consistently high level of innovation to our hundreds of large enterprise customers and 4 million+ users.
As our annual user growth climbed to over 30 percent, the team for Spigit – our crowdsourcing platform for innovation – has seen operation costs increase as well, creating scaling limitations for our existing cloud infrastructure. This expansion, though welcome on the user side, quickly started to slow down the pace of internal innovation, affecting our ability to effectively ramp up new users. Continue Reading »

In just over 15 years, Canadians living with dementia will increase by 87 per cent, and in the next two decades, the number of seniors is expected to double to over 10 million in the country alone. These staggering reports represent only two of many reasons research on brain health and aging is imperative. It's time to face reality.
That's where the Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI) comes in. The $123.5-million initiative, backed by industry leaders, philanthropy and government, is a significant opportunity for Baycrest to apply its knowledge on brain health, aging and senior care, and get it out into the community where it can make a real difference.

We live in a dangerous world. You know the threats as well as I do. But we don't have to live in fear. I'm convinced that technology can help police, corporate security officers, national security agencies and emergency management officials do their jobs better–making people, companies, cities and countries safer.
Situational intelligence is the key to making the world less dangerous. The more we know, the better prepared we are when the worst happens–and the more likely we are to be able to prevent it. To know more, we need to be able to sift through all the evidence to understand what's happening now, and why, and what's likely to happen next. Continue Reading »

The long and unhappy saga of the Local Sustainability Fund
29 Jun 2015
Last week the government announced a £20m pot of funding for charities. This sounds like good news, says...

Gordon Hunter thinks the plans to sell off forests are 'pedestrian' and could go further.
The Forestry Commission is the largest government landowner in England with 620,000 acres of woods and heathland. The previous government agreed to shed 6.5 per cent of the estate. The latest consultation proposes offloading 13 per cent of the remainder.
The rationale is sensible: reduce the Commission's operational deficit of £75m a year and revert to its regulatory role.
The process sounds reasonable: invite bids from businesses and charities for 150-year leases, attaching conditions and covenants to protect habitats and access.
The Opposition seems to be reflexive rather than reflective, almost saying: "If the government's selling off green assets, it must be wrong whatever the safeguards", or, "it's privatisation as part of a political philosophy".
I would argue that the Commission's plans are pedestrian rather than political.
There should be more focus on entrepreneurs, less on subsidies to charitable stewards and a creative rather than a protectionist approach.
All buyers (commercial or otherwise) should contribute to a local community grant pot.
Lessees should submit business plans that demonstrate self-sustainability within ten years, otherwise the lease reverts to the local community.
The Commission should encourage a range of business applications, for example "green burials" where 2,000 acres spread over the UK would reduce carbon footprint and maintenance costs whilst contributing £45m a year to grant making.
Green burial is precisely the sort of practical "product" that could fund Big Society at the local level.

I am intrigued by the information coming out about this particular policy. Published yesterday (2 Feb 2011), some commentators are suggesting that it will cost more to sell of the government's wooded estate than it will bring in. If this be true, and if this had an economic basis for being suggested, who should now be fired?? If this had an environmental basis, will it make any improvement in the status quo? If neither and thus it is merely ideological, surely this must come out into the open and be properly debated?

It's great to see someone thinking creatively about the FC sell-off. You may be interested in views of woodlands.co.uk who think private owners have a bigger part to play in the sell-off. You can see more here http://www.woodlands.co.uk/reports.php

One of Marvel Comics' most popular characters comes to the screen for the first time in this sci-fi action-thriller. Matthew Murdock (Ben Affleck) is a lawyer whose father, a prizefighter, was killed by gangsters when Murdock was just a boy. Since then, Murdock has devoted his life to bringing wrongdoers to justice and is willing to help others by taking on cases no other attorney will touch. Murdock is also blind, after being struck down by a truck while trying to save a man from being hit. What no one knows is that Murdock was also doused with an unusual radioactive isotope which had a strange effect on him -- while Murdock's sight may be gone, his other senses have been raised to such a keen pitch that they act like radar, allowing him to tell where he's going and what happens around him, both near and far away. Murdock puts his gifts to use at night as the costumed crime-fighter Daredevil, whose pursuit of justice has earned him the wrath of underworld leader Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan). Kingpin wants Daredevil out of his way once and for all, and hires Bullseye (Colin Farrell), a super-assassin with an uncanny ability to throw blades, to do the job. Daredevil also makes the acquaintance of Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), a woman with super-heroic talents who is also on Kingpin's bad side, though it remains to be seen if she has aligned herself with the forces of good as Daredevil has done. Jon Favreau, Joe Pantoliano, and David Keith highlight Daredevil's supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Chapter 1 (POV Judy Nails)
The screams are defining. The bodies all blur together. It's hot a sweaty under all these lights, and Judy loves every minute of it. This is what the band was created to do: spread the music! Judy wipes the sweat off of her forehead as she goes backstage after her wicked guitar solo. She sets down her guitar and sighs contently. She walks back to her dresser, complete with black mirror and matching chair. Judy drops into her chair and takes a deep breath. She closes her eyes. She has been so tired lately. And as much as she loves playing, her fingers are starting to feel raw and her arms felt like noodles. When she opens her eyes, she sees Gunner sitting next to her at his space. Judy's heart speeds up like she's still on stage.
"Hey, nice job out there," she tells him, "Your bass is super wicked!" He nods back in reply. Ugh, Judy you're an idiot! she mentally chastises herself, wicked! Who says wicked anymore! Luckily, Pandora walks over and interrupts before she can humiliate herself further.
Judy tries to sip of her water, and act cool, but she ends up spilling on herself. UGH! KILL ME NOW! She thinks.
"Hey, P. What's up? Nice screaming out there by the way," Judy says, turning her attention on her friend.
"Thanks, but holy crap! My throat is killing me!" Pandora croaks, rubbing her throat and downing her own water.
"Hey ladies," Simon saunters over.
"Hey Simon," Judy says. Then she rolls her eyes and says, "Can you be any more obvious in checking her out? Seriously, she's dating Johnny." Simon smirks.
"Hey, I can look. Just not touch," he walks off to where he spotted Memphis.
"He's impossible," Pandora says, wincing and holding her throat.
"All say," there was a silence as they both thought about their friend, hoping he wouldn't get hurt and also hoping there wouldn't be enough drama to break up the band. Judy shook her head.
"Anyway, did you hear me out there?" she asked Pandora, "I missed, like, three notes. Three! I'm totally losing my edge!"
Pandora opens her mouth to reply, but Gunner cuts her off.
"Judy, you did great. Don't beat yourself up," with that her gets up and walks away. Judy and Pandora look at each other. That was the most they had ever heard gunner say, Judy thought she was going to faint! She stared after him.

1 Review5.0 out of 5 Stars
I like that Balanced Body recognizes that there is no one "right" way to teach Pilates. In that way, it might not be considered "classical." I took my complete training from Mat 1 through all the apparatus at Movements Afoot in Manhattan. I chose to take the training there because I knew they had more of a focus on movement education/healthy movement and a therapeutic approach--more attention to how to modify exercises for specific problems. However, I also took shorter trainings with teachers from Gotham City Pilates where they have somewhat more of a fitness approach for healthy populations. I would say that both approaches were really good in their own way and it's worthwhile to try taking courses from teachers from different backgrounds (dancers, athletes, PTs, etc.) if you're not sure what approach appeals to you. With Balanced Body, you can study different segments with different teachers or all with one teacher. There is also some collaboration for allowing students who've studied with other teachers to move around to different studios to complete their teaching hours, which can be helpful. I haven't done certifications with other organizations so can't really compare. But I would absolutely recommend Balanced Body--completely worth the time and money.

Safety 1st DuoDeal Tandem
Your Reviews
"Not fantastic, plenty of issues, but good value with some pros.…"
I bought this for a newborn and 16month old toddler. Within a few weeks my daughter was too long for the fully reclined back seat, and she hated it, would scream in it whenever we went out for the first few months, the front toddler seat is wide enough for my large toddler, but if he falls asleep I cannot recline it as there is no room for my now 5 month old daughter. The hood over the toddler seat is removable, but necessary if you need to use the raincover, it's a right pain as my toddler can easily reach up and yank the entire hood down over himself. When my toddler bangs his feet on the plastic foot rest it smashes against the metal bar behind making a right racket which in turn wakes the baby up. The shopping basket can be accessed from the back as normal or you can lift the footrest up at the front and push shopping underneath, it is fairly roomy. The handles are too high for me 5'4", and I find myself standing on tiptoes to push it up the kerb. The removable padding is good, as are the fully removable covers, easy to wash. VERY VERY HEAVY. Heavy to push and manouvere, heavy to lift into a boot, difficult manouvering around shop aisles and through doors due to the weight. Maybe if you had light children it would be ok, but mine are fairly big kids. Fiddly to collapse as you have to push in a catch with your foot while pushing down a button then pressing a trigger. It's a fairly basic pram at a reasonable price. It's just not suitable for me. Poor resale value too.Read moreLess

Hello & Welcome to my Author Site.
Introducing the New Aspen Ridge Ranch Series
Book One - Ride the Storm
In the rugged foothills of the Canadian Rockies—the last thing Jake Callahan needs is a greenhorn city girl for a new neighbor. Last thing Alexandra Grant saw coming was a move from the Big Apple to…Calgary? Take one sexy Alberta cattle rancher, add a badly betrayed PR exec with big dreams, stir in an old family secret, a dangerous vendetta, and a white-hot mutual attraction, then Ride the Storm.

Is it time for a new Clubbell thread?
Anybody use these?http://www.clubbell.tv/images/hollycover.gif
I've seen a lot of hype, and a few unhelpful threads so far from a couple of years ago.
Anybody have a specific Clubbell (or Indian Club, Iranian Club, whatever) workout they like?

I have a pair of the 15 lbs. I haven't had them for about 2 years (they were back in Hawaii), but I brought them back with me on my last trip. When I was using them regularly, my grip strength and grip endurance were fantastic. I was regularly fighting with Dogzilla, and about 2 weeks after I started using them, he made a comment about me seeming to be able to hit harder. So for the FMAs, there is a direct carryover effect.
On a personal note, I just like the way my shoulders feel when I'm using them regularly. Much more resilient, with a loose strength. Good range of flexibility and power generation. But I reiterate that I am a stickfighter first and foremost, so my criteria may be different than yours.

Ha - ok, fair enough - i knew at least 1/2 the posts on this thread would be rediculous.
So poidog - what were your favorite movements/techniques with the clubbells?
Can you remember any workouts you particularly liked?
Did you generally do a whole clubbell workout or integrate it into a larger circuit training routine?

I second the post above. I'm a FMAer and Kettlebell user, and my gym has two 15lb clubbells as well. I don't have any idea how to use them- none. It's weight... on a stick... and intuitively that makes me think it would be good for FMA... but that's as far as I ever get. Any/all feedback would be appreciated muchly, even if it is nothing more than a link to a good page.

Ok... well I'm still hoping that some experienced users might contribute their experiences w/ these training tools...
But for anyone who cares, I found a link that might be useful:
Introductory Clubbell Workout
Now, keep in mind that I've only done this workout 1x w/ 1 10# clubbell (homemade), so I can't really review it.
I'm going to continue doing this 2-3x/week for a few weeks, then maybe I'll write up a review.
We'll see.-Jordan
Ok, time for a few more links...
Oldschool (1860s) Clubbell Workout #1
Oldschool (1880s) Clubbell Workout #2
1949 YMCA Clubbell Workout
Ok... so here's the way people have historically used clubbells (apparantly).

Turned down the job. Still go for the girl?
Lately, I have been interviewing for jobs and got a couple of offers. I chose one over the other because it was a full-time position instead of an... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I think it would be okay.. you guys are not associated really on a professional level because you DID turn the job down, and all that happened was an interview. I would say wait a little bit first, though it is a bit odd to have an email saying, "Hi thanks for taking the time to interview me, can I get your number" (I know you're not going to phrase it like that, but just the meaning in general lol)
but yes, if you want to get to know her more, contact her outside of work. I think it would be hard no matter what, to approach it in a way that bridge the gap between professional and personal.
What Girls Said 3
What Guys Said 1
Was she flirty at all with you? Lots of guys around your age do mistake polite professionalism as interest. If you sure she likes you, there's nothing ethically wrong with asking her out. Wait a week though, but not longer lest she forgets about you.
Use her office email, a short message, something like you enjoyed the interview, you find her a smart and interesting girl, you'd like to get to know her outside of the workplace, and see what happens.
Have an opinion?
