Accomplishments 2011
In 2011, the Global Index Group launched 13 new indices and 62 new net/ gross return indices. The new indices included two single commodity indices based on NYSE Liffe Future Contracts. The single commodity indices measure the performance of a strategy which consists of investing in the most active delivery month of the relevant futures contract, measured by level of open interest. When the expiry date of this delivery month approaches, the investment is rolled into the next most active delivery month.
The Global Index Group reorganized its French Market Indices in March 2011. The revision was done to better represent the French market three main segments: small, medium-size and large capitalisations. A new CAC® Large 60 was launched and other French medium-sized and small indices were revised.
In November 2011 the Global Index Group of NYSE Euronext in cooperation with Bloomberg launched the following three Clean Energy Indices: the NYSE-BNEF Americas Clean Energy Index, the NYSE-BNEF Asia-Oceania Clean Energy Index and the NYSE-BNEF Europe, Middle East and Africa Clean Energy Index. These three regional indices presently follow a basket of between 125 and 325 companies with a moderate, or greater, exposure to renewable energy and energy-smart technologies.
Third-party index calculation service launched over 80 new indices of which 24 were from three new clients. Additionally over 220 intraday-indicative values (IIVs) were launched to support the Exchange Traded Products (ETP) listings.
The number of ETPs linked to the Global Index Group European Indices on NYSE Euronext exchanges increased by almost 40% in 2011. The number of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on the Global Index Group European Indices remained stable in 2011. Two Global Index Group European Indices had their first ETF linked to them: the CAC 40 Equal Weight and the CAC Mid 60. Derivatives were down a bit with the average daily volume on the AEX®, CAC 40, BEL 20 and PSI 20 decreasing by 3.5% in 2011.
The number of ETPs linked to Global Index Group U.S. based indices was little changed; new licenses included a product based on the NYSE Arca® Equal Weight Pharmaceutical Index, the first such license on that index, and licenses for the NYSE Arca 7-10 Current Treasury and NYSE Arca 20+ Current Treasury indices. Two new licenses were put into place for OTC products based on the NYSE Arca Short Gold Bugs and NYSE Arca Gold Miners indices. Total AUM for listed products licensed on Global Index Group U.S. based indices grew 10.75%.

Congratulations to Kim Jong Un from Brazilian Political Party Leaders
| Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, received a message of greeting from National Chairman of the Central Committee of the Brazilian Communist Party Renato Ravello and its International Secretary Ricardo Alemao Abreu on Feb. 15.
The message said the Brazilian Communist Party pays respects to leader Kim Jong Il on his 71st birth anniversary.
Kim Jong Il, an outstanding revolutionary, devoted his all to building the DPRK into a state with prospering socialist economy, a state reflecting the interests and demand of the popular masses, holding high the banner of the struggle for independence against imperialism all his life, it said.
He continued advancing the Korean revolution started by President Kim Il Sung, reliably defending the socialist gains of the DPRK, it noted.
He, a patriot and internationalist, promoted the cause of the reunification and peace of Korea and friendship and solidarity among peoples, it said.
It paid respects to Kim Jong Il on behalf of the Central Committee of the Brazilian Communist Party and its members.
It expressed belief that the Korean people and the Workers' Party of Korea would follow the example of Kim Jong Il to continue adhering to independence despite the threat and attack of the imperialists and make innovations in building socialism and improving the standard of the Korean people's living.

this is a tough one. jesse was obviously acting out like a drunken college kid, vegas has seen that before. rampage however may not have been under the influence of anything, at least i haven't heard it and his mug shot looks clear eyed. so one was a drunk and the other may have had a mental breakdown of sorts. how do you handle them differently? jesse's behavior is more excusable and controllable. rampage may need medication and to step out of the fight game just to survive.
what would you do as a judge on these three cases:
1. rampage goes on a rampage, no drugs or alcohol but caused by depression.
2. jesse goes on drunken rampage in vegas, property damage and disturbing the peace.
3. andy dick on binge drunk again pulls 17 yr. old girls top down in parking lot of a rib joint.
you make the call.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Marc Gasol scored 21 points, Tayshaun Prince added 18 and the surging Memphis Grizzlies beat the Los Angeles Clippers 96-85 on Wednesday night for their 14th victory in 15 games. Mike Conley had 17 points and 11 assists, and Zach Randolph scored 13 points as the Grizzlies hung on in the fourth quarter of back-to-back games for their sixth straight victory. Memphis followed up last night's road win in Portland with a tenacious effort against the Clippers, who have lost three of five. Memphis (44-19) is percentage points ahead of Los Angeles (45-21) for third place in the Western Conference, although the Clippers are the Pacific Division leaders. Chris Paul had 24 points and nine assists, and Blake Griffin added 22 points for the Clippers, who won the clubs' first two meetings this season. The Grizzlies are excelling during a particularly brutal stretch in their schedule with help from newcomer Prince, the Los Angeles native acquired in the trade that s...

No worries, glad you're enjoying. I leave tomorrow for another excursion (no bike), so I'm going to try my best to cram, and finish the RR for you guys before I depart. I'm sure the suspense is killing you.
I would leave it up to Jake to finish, but he know's more about changing the oil on XRs then he does about computers.

**Up to this point I have left out that while Jake's bike might have been running better then mine, he was definitely riding on borrowed time with his rear tire. On top of that, his chain was about as loose as Jenna Jameson pre-op. **
Ok, so off we are riding towards the Keys and our final destination. Man it feels good, except for the fact that it's freezing outside and we can't feel our hands. With the cans of man-up in our blood, we push on, stopping for nothing. We arrive in Marathon, FL, and decide we should grab some grub. I see this place called Herbie's as we fly by. Immediately flip a biz, and pull in. At this point, we are both ice-sickles,
so we decide to put on more clothing. Jake digs out his jacket, as do I, and we enter.
Eat some amazing food, break our *alcohol only* rule with a couple Yuenglings. We are feeling good. Bust out the map, and decide this is far enough for the night. We really wanted to see the water as we cruised over the 7 mile bridge into the lower keys, and onto Key West. I ask the waitress if there is any place around that we can just throw our bags on the ground and sleep. She gives up info on a place about a mile back that is right on the water, and has two hammocks posted up right there on the beach. Yahtzee!!! She gives us directions, then goes on to tell us that it is private property to the vacation rentals right there on the beach. We see no problem, b/c like stated, we like to party. She insist though that nobody would care anyway.
Armed with a destination, we ride out. We shortly arrive at the rentals, and try to quietly drive through the parking lot to the back, right by the beach. Wasn't happening with a couple pigs with aftermarket cans. We get a couple looks, but no worries. We park, walk about 10 feet to the beach, another 10 to the hammocks, and about another 10 to the water. Perfect. We bust out our blankies and post up in our beds for the night. Anxious to rise tomorrow and get to Key West.
Jake in his sweet pad
Me in my sweet pad
Ahhh… perfection
30 December
Jake and I awake as the sun rises, without the help from the cops this morning. And this is our view….
With it still being a little chilly, I roll back over and wait for the sun a little longer
Ok, time to get up
I cruise on down to the water
And leave Jake to write in his diary, in fear that I might start losing testosterone if I stayed a second longer
Snap a couple more pics
Now that the sun is up, I can see the name of these fancy vacation rentals. I google it up. BAM!, $500+ a night for one that's on the water. I think how Jthon and I just camped in the best seats in the house fo' free.
So, I give a chuckle to the suckers, and declare a victory to us
All this commotion makes us hungry, luckily we were prepared. On the way out the door in Fort Myers, we raided the fridge of snacks and a giant steak. Certain we would find a use for it later. Well, it's now later and I can't think of a better breakfast then that.
Jake goes digging in his Wolfman saddles
Luckily these condos had a grill right outside. I brrrappp down to the store and pick up some charcoal and lighter fluid, having to pop to reserve on the way.
It was some weak ass charcoal, let me tell ya
Got a fix for that…
Now this is vacation….
Steak and apples. That's about every vitamin you could need right there.
We were ill prepared with no cutlery, so we devoured the slab with our bare hands while making primate noises and drawing pictures on the side of the building with our bloody fingers.
After our Breakfast of champions, we pack up and head out. We hit up the gas station on the corner, and Jake is weary of his chain being so loose. Decides he wants to tighten it before we ride the hour or so more south to Key West. So, we stop about a mile down the road at NAPA to borrow a 27mm socket, b/c we failed to bring one.
They didn't have one either, but the dude let us borrow his channel locks. Jake decides those will suffice, and gets to work.
Doing work
Wait a second, this is going to easy. Ahhh.. much better, the chain tensioning bolt is corroded. Jake buys some pb blaster, and over the course of about 15-20 minutes, blasts the whole can on it.
Let's see if that work…
No dice. Well, let's ride on it, and maybe the pb blaster will soak in some. So off we go. Over bridges and bridges of clear water, and through key after key.
We snapped a lot of pics through that stretch. As we got into Key West, we put the cameras up, and started sight seeing. We rode around the coast, down Duvall St. Then we decided to hit up the beach. Ahhh…
And nice, ready for swimming water
I decide to bust out the Olympus and swim over to the pier to see if I can catch some fishies chilling out.
Found them hanging out by the stairs
The water wasn't as clear here as other places. Especially under the bridges and the water on the way into Key West. Guess the surf kicks up a lot of dirt.
After the swim, we decide to sight see some more. We wanted to go to the most southern tip of Florida, and get a pic with the pigs, so off we went. We invisioned this awesome beach, with white sands, clear water, and some rustic sign informing us we had reached it. Well we found it alright, shortly after we left the beach, and then we saw the line. The line was backed up around the corner, just to get a picture with some ugly ass stone, on the side walk, that said "Southern Most Tip" or some bananas. We were let down, and decided not to wait in the line, and rode on. At the light, I look across the street and see something even better…….
As you can see, after seeing the sign, I bolted across the intersection, up and onto the curb. Jake followed suit, and then ran back to snap pics.
One more from Jake
I busted out the Iphone and captured one as well
Feeling like we accomplished our mission, we set out for food. Along our journey, we find a Honda Motorcycle shop in the middle of downtown Key West. Hot Dog, lets see if they can help Jake and his chain. (Really, we just wanted somewhere safe to leave the bikes, while we walk around Duvall street, sightsee, and eat.) So we ride over, ask them if they can look at it, hoping he'd say it'll be a while and to leave the bikes. Nope. He sends the mechanic over immediately. He looks at it, visually, says he can't do anything, and walks away. Plan not going so good. We start making small talk with the dude at the desk. He starts accusing us of illegally tagging our XRs, saying it wouldn't fly in Florida. We tell him they're both Florida tagged. He grumbles and says we must of done some funny business. I realize he is an old koot, and just nod. He tells us we're crazy for riding motorcycle down here this time of year. Said we're gonna die for sure if we aren't careful. We assure him that we like to party. He then goes on to tell Jake that his chain is shot, and so is his sprocket. Jake disagrees, and they go back and forth a little bit. I intervene before Jake pisses this miserable old dude off, b/c I'd still like to park the bikes here. He agrees to let us park the bikes, so we change shoes, and off we go. Not before some dude comes and hits on Jake though. Telling him how cool his bike is, how much fun it must be. Says he'll have to get a ride later. Then rubs Jake's arm a little bit, and play hits him. I walk away and leave Jake to fend for himself. He catches up shortly, blushing like a school girl, and we continue on our mission.
Food! We walk Duvall st. looking at all the shops and restaurants. Scoping out places to party later that night. Nothing really popping out. Then BAM! Sloppy Joe's. Hells yes! We go in, no need for a menu. You don't go to a place called "Sloppy Joe's" and not try the sloppy joe mix. While we wait, we decide it'd be best to get a hotel on the island, party tonight, and leave tomorrow morn. So off I go, trying to find a hotel on New Years weekend in Key West. I make some calls, and find us a room. Sweet, room booked, plans for tonight, and our food is on the way out. This trip is looking good. We scarf down our food. I order an extra side of the sloppy joe mix b/c they obviously put crack in it. Finish that off and we leave. Walk around a little more. Then we head back to the bikes, and to the hotel. We put in the wrong address for the hotel and it leads us off the island. We're bummed b/c we wanted something close to the action. Re-enter the address, and boom! Right in the heart of the mix. So we speed back in excitement as the sun sets.
Think this was our first time we didn't end up riding at night. We make it to the hotel safely. Key West is small, and so are the hotels. Especially if you get one in the heat of the mix. Unless you have a huge bank roll, then I'm sure you could have a sweet pad. Our room wasn't the best….
But it had beds!!!
It also had a place to do laundry. I wanted to wash my riding pants, so I stroll down to the washer. Shucks, no detergent on this floor. Off to the first floor I go. Shucks again, need my room key to get into the first floor washer room. So I stroll back up the stairs to my floor. Wait, whats this, I need a key to open the door for my floor. Probably not good that my key is in the room. No worries, I'll just call Jake. Nope, phone is in the room also. Fuck!! So I walk back to the first floor, and no dice again. Need a room key to get onto the first floor from this stairwell also. WTF, I am stuck in the damn stairwell. Why in the hell is this stairwell secure like it's an entrance to the White House. So I stand by the door to our floor and look through the glass window with a sad puppy dog face, hoping someone will walk by. After about 10 minutes, I change tactics and start pounding on the door, and yell for Jake. After about 10 minutes of that. I'm tired and sweating, b/c although this stairwell is secure as a jailhouse, they decided not to put A/C in it. I give up and rest my face on the door. Not two seconds later, perky ole' Jthon comes strolling by. He opens the door. I give him the "are you serious" look. He shrugs and walks towards the room. On the way, I question what took so long. He says, and I quote "I thought I heard something, but I wasn't sure." I tell him I'm gonna kill him in his sleep. Then I go shower up, and we hit the town. We're pumped and ready to rock out. Plus I feel like I was just freed from prision. So bring on the drinks. Slowly but surely, we start to realize that there isn't much young people out. More like older couples. No worries, so I hit the streets trying to find the younger crowd. I see some honeys eye-balling me and my homie Jthon. I strut over, introduce us, and quickly find out they are under 21. Nice to meet ya, adious! I quickly realize that it's a losing battle. No worries, time to rage out and drink our asses off. We bar hop like it's our job. Sticking to our alcohol only plan, vodka is flowing like rain in Washington. One of the best things about Key West, you can drink in the streets. So, no need to stand around in the bars crowded with over dressed tourists, we get our drinks to go. The street is more happening anyway.
Jake spots this chill bum, and snaps a pic
For some reason I'm super pumped about my sneakers and picture them
We continue to run around like vigilantes, meeting all kinds of crazy people. Popping into bars for our to-go cups.
I spot this sweet sign that reminds me of my old sailor days aboard the CGC Steelhead, and Jake snaps a pic
Night start dwindling down, and we start the trek back to our hotel. Along the way, Jake is convinced he has to buy some cigars, and ask my opinion. Being influenced by vodka, I encourage him like our life depended on it. 20 bucks later, we continue on and pass by a hotdog stand. Yummmm. We order some brats or some sort of sausage.
Jake chowing down
We continue, and I'm still hungry. I swing into a store along the way that has a deli still open. I order a tub of tuna salad and chicken salad. The helper hooked me up, then the other helper wigged out. Said that she packed it wrong and started flailing around and yelling in her native language. I'm confused beyond believe, and wonder why this demon is speaking in tongues and ripping apart my bag o' salads. She packs it back up and gives it to me. I stare in disbelieve, wondering if I'm being punk'd. The cool helper comes and she tells me that the other girl is new, and this has happened before. I tell her good luck and quickly vacate before my food is burned on a cross.
Jake has wondered off, but I quickly find him halfway scaled up some wall/light post. Not surprised b/c I'll typically find him scaling to the top of buildings after a night of drinking. We walk back to the hotel. I joyfully eat my chicken and tuna salads on our journey back. Which are now packed all together, instead of neat separate ones. I name it chickuna salad, and brainstorm about marketing possibilities. We arrive alive back to the hotel, and I pass out while Jake watches Benjamin Button on TV.
Mission to party in Key West complete!

December 31 - New Years Eve
We both get up around the same time. I start a pot of coffee, and grab a shower. Upon getting out of the shower I put my speedo on, and didn't realize one of my balls was hanging out (honest mistake). I turn the corner and Jake homes in on it like it was a late night special on the big screen. I accuse him of meat gazing and start to snap a pic of him, he quickly turns his head to ruin my evidence.
I change into my riding pants, and return to my bed with the coffees that are freshly brewed. Not thinking, I take a swig of mine, and immediately regret it as it has now scorched my tongue with 8th degree burns. I spit/drool the coffee out while moaning like a wuss. Jake laughs, I quickly remind him I just caught him meat gazing. He frowns and I laugh. Then we sit back and laugh whole heartedly about the events that just took place. I rant on asking WTF is the reason coffee is made so hot for. It's impossible to drink in that state. Jake agrees and by now our coffees have chilled to under 100* so we drink up. Pack up, and check out.
We ride through town, pick up a couple post cards for the peeps back home. We realize that we both have formed a farmer's tan from riding in t-shirts, so we solve that problem by removing our shirts and make the decision to ride to Marathon beef-cake status, where we will eat breakfast. We ride out of Key West feeling accomplished and ready to go. On the way out of town some lady in the back of a truck looks at us, then at the other passengers, and mouths "that's stupid". We assume she is talking about our beefcake statue. Little did she know, we like to party. So we continue on, waving as we brrrappp by on a couple of untamed pigs.
The ride to Marathon was uneventful, but an awesome view the whole way.
We get to Marathon with plans of eating at Herbie's again, hoping to catch the waitress that hooked us up with the sweet hammock spot the first night. They were closed, so we pressed on to further keys. We pass some place that looked nice and chill, so we stopped in. We each get something with fish, and we're both still hungry. I figure I'll just wait, knowing we'll eat as soon as we reach Homestead. Jake opts for a $7.00 slice of key lime pie. I must admit, I was a little jealous b/c I just knew he was gonna get this massive pile of yummy. My jealousy went away after the waitress sat down a piece of pie smaller then a computer mouse. *Pause while you look at your mouse* Jake's face was priceless. He had a bite, encouraged me to taste this $7 masterpiece. So I have a bite. He has his second bite, which is also his last bite b/c the pie is now gone. I shake my head, and we agree that it was definitely the biggest rip off of the trip. We pay and leave. In the parking lot, Jake spots an iguana in a cage and makes friends. He calls him pepe and promises to free him from the place that ruined key lime pie forever.
We load up, kick over the bikes in rebellion of the pie, while pepe bids us farewell
We ride along, and both our bikes go to reserve at the exact same time. Which is always good. We refuel, I pop over from The Beatles to my beach music playlist comprised of Jack Johnson, Sublime, Eek-a-mouse, and some Colbie Caillat on the Bluetooth helmet and continue the ride. It was a great ride almost the whole way.
I soaked in some rays
Jake feel asleep
I took a picture of Jake taking a picture of me
One thing I will say is that the water and scenery appeared much nicer in the more northern keys. Would be the perfect place to live.
We continue to ride, and then traffic starts to pick up as we get closer to Key Largo.
We get stuck behind some ass with a pull behind camper, which is flinging sand on our beefcaked-out selfs. Feels like little needles are flying through the air. He continues to drive slow in the fast lane. Finally he has space to get over so the line of cars behind him can pass. He doesn't appear to be budging, so after waiting for him to change lanes, it's seems apparent that he's not going to, so I start to pass. Oh wait!! Now he wants to change lanes, without signaling, right on top of me. I respond with cat like reflexes and avoid the madness. Jake pulls up beside him, tells him to watch the fudge out, and gives him the ADV hand sign for being such an awesome guy. We continue on, passing Key Largo and now starting to head North up Dixie Hwy I believe it was called. That was probably the worse leg of the trip. Fenced on both sides. Trees blocking any view. Nothing but straight hwy. Seemed like forever, but we finally made it back to the hotel where we parked the truck. We stop and celebrate our completion of our goal of riding the trails of Central Florida, and riding the Keys. Spirits are high, and we bust out the camera.
Word to yo motha
After the pics, Jake says he is going to grab the truck, and starts looking for his keys. I continue taking random pics while he does.
After a couple pics I see Jake just standing there, with a very confused look on his face.
He looks at me and says "Dude, where's my keys?" FML, this is not good. We dump all the bags and start searching
No dice. So we go into survival mode. Jake curls up in the ditch with his blanket while I call a locksmith. They assign us a driver, but he won't be there for another two+ hours. Well that certainly doesn't sit well with our plan of spending New Years in Orlando. If he makes it in 1 hour, and gets the truck open and cuts a key fast enough we figure we could still make it. So we cross our fingers. We run around town looking for authentic Mexican food for dinner, plus wanted to start the new years celebration already with a Margarita! The ones we found were all closed, so we end up eating at the real Sonny's BBQ this time. They have all you can eat dishes.
I eat about three whole chickens worth, Jake puts down at least ½ a pig of pulled pork, and we depart back to the truck. We sit around trying to think of where to go for New Years, b/c our plans for Orlando are not happening now. We decide to hold off until we get the truck running. So we start loading the bikes. Driver shows up, and we pause. He pops the door open in three seconds. Reads a code of the window regulator. Goes to his truck, returns in 1 minute, tries to start the truck. Nothing, returns back to his station, does some fandangling, returns again in 1 minute, and Vroom! That was fast. He questions us about the sweet bikes, we pay him with blood diamonds under the table, and off he goes. We kick it into gear and start loading everything up as fast as possible. We strap the bikes down, throw all the crap in the bed of the truck, load the cab with clothes, gear, dead hookers, the whole nine yards. All packed up, we say bye to Homestead and hop in the truck. We sit in the truck for a second, then Jake looks at me and says, "Dude, where's my key?" Are you shitting me? This foolio has once again lost his key. I look at the monstrosity of clutter in his truck and immediately know this is gonna take awhile. We tear apart the truck, bust out flashlights, and search high and low. Nothing. I'm just about to unbolt the seat when Jake grabs his shoe, and finds his key laying in it, safely tucked away. I chuckle, and we rapidly stuff all the stuff back in the truck and peel out before Jake looses the key again.
I pull out the iphone and start looking for places that should be good for New Years. We immediately think Miami. Jake knows some peeps there. We find a definite possible place to stay, and people to party with. When then remember Miami is a classy joint, and all we have are some slacks that have been folded up in our bags for the past two weeks, along with button up shirts in the same condition. We pass on Miami and continue on. I throw up a hail mary and decide on West Palm Beach. I ask Jake for input, he just grunts, and continues driving. It's settled, West Palm it is.
Step on it…
I've always had good experiences with Marriot, and luck should have it, there is one not but a few blocks from downtown. Jackpot. I start getting amp, knowing that once we arrive, it's gonna be on like donkey kong. I realize Jake isn't feeling it. A combination of all day riding, losing his keys which also contained his house keys, running late, and alcohol withdraw was getting to him. Luckily I like to party.
A little cinnamon whiskey to liven the place up
Now that's the spirit
Down the hatch it goes
Disclaimer* Cinnamon and whiskey do not go well together.
We arrive in West Palm about ten minutes later, rush upstairs, shower off the road crud we collected from riding beefcake all day, and rush out with about an hour to spare before New Years.
To protect the innocent, I will leave out that nights events, just know that we came, we saw, and we conquered New Years Eve, West Palm Beach, 2011.
Welp, that's pretty much it fellas. We rolled out the next morning after an extended check out. I snapped a quick pic of Jake's tire as we leave and tell him his was over-worrying.
We tried to hit up ihop, but the line was ridiculous, so we said fuck it and just started driving. Few hours later we stop for Mexican. Couple cougars were there, obviously on their third pitcher of brewski, purring at us, looking like they were ready to attack, or pass out, either one. Luckily Florida Fish and Wildlife officer shows up, and they prance their drunk selfs back home.
Jake's giant burrito, and my massive plate of fajitas.
We arrive back in NC without a hitch. Download the bikes and go to our rooms and pass out. Trip done. Party done. Ride Report done.
Hope you all enjoyed!

Washington WebcamsWashington is an important state in the United States of America and is divided into two distinct parts. In the west of Washington there are huge snow clad mountains, vast farm lands and pastures and ever green lush forests, while on the other side there is the beautiful and exotic Seattle. People who have watched Sleepless in Seattle must know how the State exactly looks like. It is Seattle that is constantly adding to the economy of the United States of America by manufacturing pickles and growing fruits. The place in the east is called the land of farmers. The most wanted place in the state is the Olympic National Park, which people like to visit very often; the major reason being that Seattle is famous for its cosmopolitan cafe charm and the best wine world ever. San Juan Islands are also an important place that people like to visit while they are in this exotic place.

Sophie Daumier
Nov. 24, 1934
Boulogne-sur-Mer, France
Dec. 31, 2003
Paris, France
Actress, Singer, Comedienne. A popular French performer of the 1960s and 1970s, she appeared in roughly 28 feature films. Born Elisabeth Simone Juliette Clemence Hugon, the daughter of composer Georges Hugon, she trained in classical ballet at Chatelet, Paris, and at 16 began touring with a cancan troupe under her own name, Betty Hugon. She made her silver screen bow in the 1955 "Paris Mob", and in 1957 had her first major stage hit in her old teacher Marcel Achard's "Patate". Blessed with a good singing voice, a vivacious personality, excellent comedic timing and mimicry talent, and a superficial resemblence to Brigitte Bardot, she had a successful nightclub and cabaret act, now billed as "Betty Lawrence". Urged by Achard to choose a new name, she picked "Sophie" for unknown reasons, and took her mother's maiden name, "Daumier". In the early 1960s, Sophie teamed-up with actor and writer Guy Bedos, appearing on stage with him in pieces having such low-brow titles as "Up the Sluts" and "Pickups". The couple married in 1965, and thru the 1960s and 1970s, Sophie, often paired with Bedos, continued her movie work, with some of her better known films including "Carom Shots" and "Sweet and Sour" (both 1963), "Crime on a Summer Morning" (1965), and the 1978 "A Simple Story". Gradually, there were problems; always a bit "zany", Sophie now became impossible either to work or to live with. Unable or unwilling to take stage direction, she was violent and destructive at home, leading to divorce in 1977. After her final screen turn in 1979's "The Frozen", she published her autobiography "Talk to My Heart, My Head is Sick" in 1980. Her head was, indeed, sick; the source of her behaviour, and of her random spastic movements, became clear when she was diagnosed with Huntington's chorea, a hereditary, progressive, and fatal neuromuscular disorder. Stating that he would never have left her had he known the reason for her problems, Bedos, who had remarried in 1978, assumed the financial responsibility of Sophie's care for the remainder of her life as she became semi-vegatative. The date of her death is sometimes listed as January 1, 2004; a portion of her film legacy has been preserved on DVD.

Recipe by Kimber
"This is a recipe that my friends love and ask for again and again! I serve it with a crusty loaf of bread and salad. All ingredients are approximate and you should vary according to your own individual tastes!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
olive oil
onion, chopped
5 slices
pancetta bacon, raw
1 (9 ounce) package
cheese-filled tortellini
2 tablespoons
balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
One word, awesome! I added some red bell pepper, some basil, and topped with sharp provolone cheese instead of the parmasean. There were no leftovers even though it was just me and my husband - - - it was that good!
It was good, but not amazing.
Pancetta Bacon: It will be very difficult for most people to find at the local grocery store. It is a fancy style of bacon that is made from the same cuts as standard bacon but is generally more expensive and curred over a longer period of time using salt. Regular bacon will suffice.
This recipe was interesting and had good flavor but lacked the kick I usually look for. I DO recommend everyone trying this at least once. This will not be a part of my regular rotation.

My husband and I LOVED THIS. I'm a very inexperienced cook, and my new year's resolution was to cook a lot more. This couldn't have been easier, and the taste seems sophisticated, to my inexperienced palate. I would even serve this to my mother in law, if she weren't a heartless hag!
This was good but made only two servings. I used procuitto instead of bacon.
I used 4 cheese tortellini & I didn't have pancetta so I subbed some diced prosciutto instead. I'm pretty sure that the reviewers who said that the 2 tbp. olive oil was a typo & that balsamic vinegar should be used instaed are correct but I love browned butter & took the suggestion to add 2 tbp. of that (in addition to the balsamic vinegar.) I also added some minced garlic & some italian seasoning. This was far from bland...even my 3 year old grandson liked it. But he has a sophisticated palate for his age & he is very appreciative of anything we cook together. All in all, it was a nice change of pace for lunch.
This was really fast and easy. We probably waited too long after sprinkling on the balsamic vinegar to eat it. The vinegar had soaked into the pasta and wasn't very strong. But this was a great way to cut out the fattening alfredo sauce I usually serve with tortellini. I will make this again.
This recipe is SO easy! I doubled it and served it to friends, one evening, for a last-minute dinner party. I couldn't find the pancetta bacon at my local grocery store and didn't have the time to go to the Italian grocer so I substituted proscuitto ham for the bacon. Everyone raved over the recipe. It's definitely one I'll use again and again...next time with the bacon, though!
I can't say enough good things about this recipe. It is so delicious and I make it all the time. A real winner.

In case you missed it, interesting article by Jason Stark...
"I notice that I'm throwing hard when I hear the crowd gasping," - Chapman
I'm lazy and I assume everyone else is.
1. Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak
2. Ted Williams last player to hit .400
3. Pete Rose 4256 career hits
4. Denny McClain's 30 wins in 1968
5. Cal Ripken's Iron Man streak
6. Orel Hershiser's 59 consecutive scoreless innings in 1988
7. Hack Wilson's 191 RBI in 1930
8. Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968
9. Rickey Henderson's 130 stolen bases in 1982
10. Nolan Ryan's 383 K's in 1973
Some good analysis in the article. I'm going to read a little more before I post an opinion.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I dunno, Rose's hit record has always been the most impressive stat to me. That one could average 200 hits a year for 21 seasons and STILL be 57 hits shy of breaking Rose's record is seemingly incomprehensible. Second would have to be Gibson's 1.12 ERA, that's just astounding.
Ripken's streak is equally impressive, if not directly related to any defined baseball skill. I don't think either Rose's or Ripken's streaks will ever be broken, but I'm wagering that DiMaggio's will, as will Aaron's.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
I'll give my opinion on which of these records will be broken on my lifetime (assuming no major rules changes), in percentage form.
1. Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak - 20%
2. Ted Williams last player to hit .400 - 45%
3. Pete Rose 4256 career hits - 10%
4. Denny McClain's 30 wins in 1968 - 20%
5. Cal Ripken's Iron Man streak - 1%
6. Orel Hershiser's 59 consecutive scoreless innings in 1988 - 10%
7. Hack Wilson's 191 RBI in 1930 - 50%
8. Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968 - 5%
9. Rickey Henderson's 130 stolen bases in 1982 - 5%
10. Nolan Ryan's 383 K's in 1973 - 5%
Never say never.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Great list! All of these records are phenomenal with some being unbelievable. I put my predictions and thoughts in bold.Originally Posted by dabvu2498
"....the two players I liked watching the most were Barry Larkin and Eric Davis. I was suitably entertained by their effortless skill that I didn't need them crashing into walls like a squirrel on a coke binge." - dsmith421
A record that is extremely impressive and unbreakable is Cy Young's all time win record of 511. I know it was in a different era and time but 511 wins is impressive know matter when. For that matter 2nd place on this list won't even be approached. Walter Johnson's 417 wins. Since starters only go out there about 35 times a season in this era a 300 win pitcher will become very rare.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Most impressive to me.
Single Season Hit Streak
Hit record
Single Season ERA
Single Season SB's
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
Hit streaks are overrated.
I do agree that the SB, hit, ERA, consecutive games, and win records are all impressive, and I honestly doubt that they will be broken. Of course, people think that about a lot of records...

Nine of the ten are spitballers, here's my favorite part.Originally Posted by OldRightHander
Harry Howells 5.3 assist per nine innings in 1905 with the Browns was the best rate for all of the pitchers above. The SS record for assist is 621 by Ozzie and that was only 4.0 assists a game, the best 2nd baseman is Frisch with 4.2 assists a game in 1927. Howell averaged 2.4 K's a game, so he accounted for 7.75 of the teams outs in a deadball/low strikeout game.
Pretty impressive imo, anyway here's more about it here.
Thats not too suprising. Spitballers and a dead ball.
here is an interesting site "dead" ball era site... its pretty strange.

"I notice that I'm throwing hard when I hear the crowd gasping," - Chapman
Great write up on your site there. The difference in the way the game was played then surely makes for a couple interesting stat lines. I had always figured that when you have guys hitting the ball harder, pitchers aren't going to get too many chances. That assumption was always based on my experiences as a softball pitcher. When you have a game where people are consistently hitting the ball hard, which is the case in softball even more than in baseball, I just don't get too many bona fide chances to get an assist. I had three in one game a couple weeks ago, but that was something of an oddity. A couple of them were smoked and just happened to find my glove.Originally Posted by westofyou
One correlation that you can make thats similar softball, the same ball was usually used for the entire game..Originally Posted by OldRightHander

The 2012 New Mexico Statehood History Conference took place recently at the Santa Fe Convention Center. And I gave my presentation on, "Preserving New Mexico's Environmental History."
As with all history, environmental history has value to the extent it retains the context of its time. Context is where the logic lurks in history's events.
A bare word gets its scope and scale from context: compare "tire patch," "shoulder patch" and "cabbage patch." Missing the context has one result, misperceptions.
My talk and this column highlight the great shift in "environment" that came to pass when New Mexico was but 50 years old.
In 1962, Rachel Carson's pivotal book, Silent Spring, was published. It dealt with studies of birdlife in new terms – chemicals, not habitat.
Before then, "environment" was pictured as wilderness and wildlife. The Sierra Club, the National Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy and Trout Unlimited all began between 1892 and 1959.
After Silent Spring, public opinion joined in against air and water pollution on many levels. Change was afoot.

When Jane Goodall first reported that chimps use tools, our concept of human uniqueness was rocked. It has never quite recovered. In another twist, a population of wild chimps of the Kanyawara community in Uganda's Kibale National Park appears to be using objects as toys.
That's remarkable in itself, but Sonya Kahlenberg of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and Richard Wrangham of Harvard University, found that juvenile chimps in this population play with sticks like children play with dolls, cradling them and even making nests for them to sleep in at night – and they found that the behaviour is more common in females.
"I favour the hypothesis that stick carrying is practice for the adult role of motherhood," says Kahlenberg, "perhaps similar to functions of other kinds of play, being practice for adult roles."
Before birth
Kahlenberg and Wrangham analysed data from 14 years of observation of wild chimps and categorised stick-use into four classes: as probes to investigate holes; as weapons during aggressive displays or attacks; as a prop during solitary play, and, in essence, as dolls. This last class they call "stick carrying", and in 301 observations it turned out to be more common in juvenile chimps, more frequent in females than males, and only occurred in females before their first birth (Current Biology, DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2010.11.024).
"It was striking that this behaviour was seen in some adult females, but never after they became mothers," says Kahlenberg, adding that the chimps learned the behaviour by copying other juveniles, not adults.
On at least 25 occasions the stick-dolls were carried by the young chimps into day nests – a behaviour not observed when sticks were used for other purposes. One young male made a separate nest for his doll, and a female was seen patting a log like she was "slapping the back of an infant", which occurred while her mother was caring for a sick sibling.
Social roles
"This is the first study to provide details on this type of object use," says Stephanie Bogart of Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Play is a way to prepare for adult life, whether to develop motor skills, social skills, or roles within the community. Playing with 'toys' such as the sticks at Kanyawara appears have the function of developing their roles within the social group. Thus, these social roles would then determine the types of 'toys' children play with."
Whereas male rhesus monkeys in captivity seem to prefer "masculine" toys such as diggers and trucks over plush dolls, wild male chimpanzees may be more in touch with their feminine sides. Young male chimps have been shown to help mothers out with infants, and adult males will play with youngsters, says Bogart.

Prototype came back this afternoon, new front standard is easy to use. Here two types of front standard sit side by side, with circular/ rectangular lens board accordingly.
New front standard has a sliding lock at the top, it is big, so you can grab it with fingers very easy.
You hold the sliding lock and pull it upward, that release the lens board, you release the lock, with help of springs, lock slides back and locks the board, that easy.
Front view of prototype, light trap around lens board keeps light away.
Like I said before, this front standard is great when you use big eyes, here are what I tested.. two Xenotar 2.8/150 with #2 shutter, one Xenotar 3.5/135 with #1 shutter, one Tele Arton 5.5/270 with #1 shutter, one Super Angulon 8/90 with #0 shutter, one Grandagon 4.5/75 with #0 shutter.
Only Xenotar 2.8/150 needs to be mounted in-directly, others all are capable of directly mounted.
Thanks to NY Jeff, push me to solve problem mounting Xenotar 2.8/150 on Byron, without him, I would not make it!
This is the biggest lens Byron can hold, rear element is too big, can not mount the lens directly, what a pity.
Funny thing is that almost emails came asking about Xenotar 150 are fashion photographers, but that make sense, this heavy big lens is too bulky for snaps.
Tele Arton 5.5/270, very easy to mount on, but I need to test the rail limit.
And for Grandagon 4.5/75; SA 8/90 and Xenotar 3.5/135, this front standard is easy to mount directly.
Now is time for minor modifications, round corners, dimension adjusts......
and matte black surface paint.
