Dominant Vettel on pole in Melbourne
Saturday 26 March 2011
Red Bull's world champion Sebastian Vettel blew away his rivals in a dominant qualifying performance to claim pole position for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Saturday.
The 23-year-old German set the quickest time in all three sessions and managed a searing best lap of one minute 23.529 seconds, 0.778 seconds quicker than second-placed Briton Lewis Hamilton.
"Although the gap now might appear to be big, it's a long season and a lot of things can happen," said a cautious Vettel, who failed to finish the race here last year.
"It's a good position to be in, and I'm very happy with that (but) we need to keep our feet on the ground."
Hamilton's late lap of 1.24.307 in his McLaren knocked Vettel's team mate Mark Webber (1.24.395) off the front row of the grid, leaving the Australian to line up alongside Jenson Button in the second McLaren (1.24.779).
Ferrari's twice former world champion Fernando Alonso claimed a spot on the third row in fifth place next to Renault's Vitaly Petrov, the best ever qualifying position for the Russian.
Button, who will be gunning for a third successive win at Albert Park, conceded that Vettel had been untouchable.
"If you look at the pace of Sebastian, I mean they're in a different league really in qualifying, whether it's the same in the race I don't know," said Button.
"We don't really know what our pace is really going to be like in the race distance yet."
McLaren struggled for reliability in testing and Hamilton paid tribute to the "fantastic job" done by the team to give their two British drivers a competitive car.
"Absolutely thrilled to be here today, we've really got ourselves back on track and, although there's a lot of work to do, we laid a fantastic base," the 2008 world champion said.
Webber is aiming to become the first Australian to win his home grand prix and was clearly disappointed at being so far behind his team mate.
"I'm not overly rapt to be third on the grid," he said. "I wasn't really in the fight for pole and I need to address that."
German Nico Rosberg steered his Mercedes to seventh place on the grid ahead of Brazilian Felipe Massa on what was a disappointing day for Ferrari.
"Position we are happy, distance from pole we are not so happy, so it's what we have to look at and analyse tonight," Spaniard Alonso said.
German Michael Schumacher failed to fulfil the promise of good pre-season testing with Mercedes when he was unable to get through to the final session of qualifying by 0.089 seconds.
"After testing, coming to the first race we had expected certainly a different performance so naturally there is some disappointment," the seven-times world champion, who will start 11th, told the BBC.
"We don't match this performance here and we need to understand why we don't and that's going to be the major job that we have in front of us."
HRT's Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan failed to get within 107 percent of the best time in the first qualifying session so will not be allowed to race.
The struggling Spanish-based team's appeal to the stewards was dismissed later on Saturday, leaving just 22 cars on the grid for Sunday's race.

How many MPGs does a Caterpillar Loader get? Probably low enough to melt all the snow just by having it idle.

I think this proposal is even more agressive and unfriendly to newcomers than Siegfried's original one. I translate it as: "We're sorry but we do not care about your package this time. Please try again next time, we'll see if we care about it in 3 months". Of course we can present it friendlier, but the general message I would get of it would remain. I personally see REVU as a presentation platform, not really as a working queue. The main reason is that I don't think ubuntu needs more and more packages, but more dedicated and active maintainers for the software we ship. But that's just some random unrelated opinion I should elaborate in a blog entry. I think the key problem we are trying to solve here is prioritisation. Sorting out packages that the packager no longer cares for is IMO a good thing, and Siegfried's proposal catches them. Perhaps we can or should add more ways to prioritise packages on REVU. Perhaps by linking packages to brainstorm ideas and comparing votes there. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4

|Radhi & Company, Kelly and I wanted to offer another word of heartfelt thanks to you guys. We were so pleased with the role (and great music) you played at our wedding celebration last weekend! You helped make it an unforgettable weekend. We will of course recommend you to anyone who asks and we hope we can attend an event in the future that features the String Poets! Our thanks, Dan & Kelly
|Many thanks to the String Poets for playing at our wedding. The music played a very important part in our wedding, as you know, and you performed the pieces just as I wanted them to be played! At one point I was swaying to the music(I think it was Vocalise) and my husband even noticed me doing it, just in the moment and enjoying everything about the day. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you in person! I was running a bit late from the hairdresser and I just had to get upstairs and get dressed and be ready in 30 min. Thank you again for making our day special for us! -Chris
|Thank you all very much for a wonderful performance at our wedding! Your professionalism, timing and etiquette were above reproach. I am just sorry that I wasn't able to enjoy every minute:) As the bride, I was a little busy getting ready and posing for an endless string of photographs. My new husband and I were very, very pleased. Please let all of the musicians know that they were an integral and enjoyable part of our wedding. All the best, Jenn and Bernie
|Radhi-you all were wonderful!! I want you to know your tip is coming in the mail. Please let me know if you don't get it:) the music was beautiful!!! Olivia and Nicole
|Mr. Radhi Santos and his quartet provided an out standing performance for our 4th annual awards banquet where we had nearly 200 guests in attendance. His quartet arrived promptly and was ready to perform when our event started. The String Poets added the polish to our event that helped put it over the top. Many guests commented on the quality of their performance and the value that it added to the ambiance of the evening. We will certainly be contacting String Poets for our event next year.
|I couldn't have been more pleased. These guys sounded just perfect! They played a non-traditional piece for me as I walked down the aisle - Dvorak's Humoresque No.7 as well as other pieces we selected for the reception. They are finely skilled musicians and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a string trio (they also have a string quartet) for their event.
|We had the String Poets play at our Catholic ceremony and their music was beautiful! The whole day was a big blur but I knew that the music was great after all of our guests asked about them and complimented them. Then when we watched our video - we again saw how wonderful they were! Highly recommend and Radhi was Super easy to work with!
|I could not have been more pleased with the String Poets Quartet! They sounded beautiful, were professional, and they were extremely grateful to have been a part of the ceremony. I had quite a few special request and they performed them above and beyond what I could have ever expected!
|Radhi, I cannot thank you and your colleagues enough for the beautiful music at Sarah's wedding. When I had my final review with the owner, Mark Lynch, I urged him to add the String Poets to their list of preferred vendors -- so I hope he does follow through. My husband still raves about how beautifully played the two musical interludes were (Puccini & Bernstein) and we had many friends at the wedding who are serious chamber music loves and they could not stop talking about the music -- with thanks, Gerry Otremba
|Thank you so much for serving our wedding. The music was beautiful and I want to let you know that we've received many compliments! I'll definitely look out for you if we help out in any future events in the area. You guys were wonderful to work with. THANK YOU!
|I would like you to know how much I appreciated you guys braving the wind and the cold to make my ceremony perfect. My guests loved the music and said you guys were awesome. Thank you so much for being prompt, responsive, and excellent musicians!
|I wanted to follow up with you and let you know how pleased I was with the quartet that played at my garden wedding last weekend in Alexandria. They were all exceptional musicians and our guests really appreciated all of the beautiful music that was played prior, during and after the ceremony. The two songs that they accompanied my brother-in-law on (The Prayer and Exodus) were simply moving and emotional for all. My brother-in-law, who is a professional opera singer and who has sung in many venues around the world, was most impressed with the quartet. Bravo! I spoke briefly with Jose (thought it was you) and told him that I wanted to tip the four of them, but would work through you to do so. Please advise how I would do so. I was not in a position to do so at that moment. Again, Radi, wonderful working with you and I would recommend String Poets to anyone looking to include music in their event. Regards, Leslie

Gold Glove awards set to add 'sabermetric component'
Mar 8, 2013, 4:08 PM EDT
The much-maligned Rawlings Gold Glove awards have long been decided by the managers and coaches around the league, even though such people are left with little enough time to watch other teams when they have to deal with their own for 162 games per season.
That's changing now, if only slightly. Rawlings announced that it's adding a "sabermetric-based component" to the process:
As part of the multi-year collaboration beginning with the 2013 season, SABR will develop an expanded statistical resource guide that will accompany the Rawlings Gold Glove Award ballots sent to managers and coaches each year. In addition, SABR will immediately establish a new Fielding Research Committee tasked to develop a proprietary new defensive analytic called the SABR Defensive Index™, or SDI™. The SDI will serve as an "apples-to-apples" metric to help determine the best defensive players in baseball exclusively for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award and Rawlings Platinum Glove Award selection processes. The collaboration also installs SABR as the presenting sponsor of the Rawlings Platinum Glove Award. …
Beginning in 2013, the managers/coaches vote will constitute a majority of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners' selection tally, with the new SDI comprising of the remainder of the overall total. The exact breakdown of the selection criteria will be announced once the SDI is created later this summer.
One imagines this new addition will ensure Derek Jeter fails to add a sixth Gold Glove to his current total. Ideally, it means that offense, always a huge factor in the actual voting, will begin to mean less. As is, it's far too difficult for below average hitters to win Gold Gloves.
Give Rawlings some credit here. This is the second big, positive change in the last few years after the 2011 switch to break up the outfield spots (previously, it was typical for three center fielders to win Gold Gloves in each league). Not only will they add data to the voting, but they'll give that same data to the managers and coaches, which could then be used to make better choices.

Is IBM retrenching 1,500 Aussie staff?
blog If you've been in the IT industry for a while, you'll be aware that there really isn't a time when IBM Australia isn't moving staff around to some degree. There's the ongoing rounds of job losses as various areas in the business downsize or shift offshore. There's ongoing outsourcing moves which result in in-house staff at customers like Qantas and NAB being offered jobs at Big Blue. And there's even new job creation initiatives as IBM seeks to capitalise on certain Australian regions such as Ballarat.
What this adds up to is a constant series of rumours for IBM that it's cutting job. The company typically addresses this by issuing the following statement, or something very similar, through the media: "IBM continuously transforms its business, rebalancing skills and capabilities in order to meet the changing needs of clients and our business as a whole." I've seen and received this statement from IBM many times over the past decade or so.
But it looks like what is going on at IBM Australia right now is something more — something quite extreme. If reports are to be believed, and they're flooding in from both mainstream media outlets with claimed staff sources, as well as online staff message boards, the company could be in the process of making some 1,500 Australian staff redundant, which would probably be about 10 percent of its local workforce. The Sydney Morning Herald reports (we recommend you click here for the full article):
"Affected staff have told Fairfax Media between 1200 and 1500 local jobs are being made redundant this year in several waves."
In our view, this is not the normal kind of 'moves, adds and changes' deal that we frequently see at IBM Australia. If true, and there are certainly growing indications that it is true, then this is a major capability and workforce shift which will affect many customers and staff, and IBM Australia has a responsibility, firstly to its staff, and secondly to its clients, to do more here than simply repeating its same time-worn statement about its continually changing resource pool. It needs to explain precisely were its cuts will be coming from, and what impact those cuts will have on its ability to deliver contracts. It should also explain why the cuts are happening now, given that IBM's Australian finances actually appear to be relatively stable over the past several years. But then, large corporations have never been that good at transparency, have they?
We'd like to encourage anyone who knows what's happening at Big Blue Australia right now to use Delimiter's anonymous tips form to fill us in. Even we won't know who you are.

Robert Cringely recently posted on this topic – http://www.cringely.com/2013/06/20/ibm-to-customers-your-hand-is-staining-my-window/ – he says they are cutting costs to reach profit goals. Interesting if true.

July 31, 2015 - This is fabulous, fits great for a 3X--sleeves nice and long, washes great, very cool, and half the price of what I have seen for exact item in catalogs--and it helps animals!!!! You caanot lose-buy this amazing piece today!
July 30, 2015 - This jacket is beautiful and well made. It more than exceeded my expectations. I passed on it the first time it was offered for a one day only and am now sorry.
July 25, 2015 - I received mine yesterday. It is that casual light-weight hoodie I've been looking for. The colors do vary and mine came darker, but that is perfect for me. Right now I'm a size 4/6 and the small medium fits perfect. I love that it's a curvy cut and flatters a woman's figure. Plus, it's length is great too. Most jackets are too short for me (I'm 5'8 and large chested) but this one comes to the top of my legs covering my lower abdomen. My boyfriend even said it was cute! Oh, and I definitely will wash it in cold and hang it to dry in order to preserve the colors and size.
July 21, 2015 - Best hoodie I have ever had. Beautiful colors, design and fit!
July 19, 2015 - I was going through my old Facebook posts and noticed one concerning this hoodie going back to December '13. Purchased it along with three other items. Almost three years and it's *still* going strong and my goto wardrobe piece. Thanks to slight change to body composition these past 12 months it's become a perfect fit (snug but very comfy with it). Outstanding. I may gave to get another one soon as I'm finally putting a bit of much wanted/needed weight on.

First Look: Chloe Moretz in "Carrie" Remake
Posted: June 28th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
MGM has announced that the upcoming "Carrie" remake is now shooting in Toronto with Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry, Stop-Loss) directing. The new movie stars Chloe Moretz (Hugo, Kick-Ass) as the title character and is based on Stephen King's best-selling novel.
"Carrie" tells the supernatural tale of a telekinetic teenage girl tormented by her peers. It co-stars Jualianne Moore (The Kids Are Alright) and Judy Greer (The Descentants) and is set to hit theaters in 2013.
Plot: The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday), but only Chris' best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

This girl is becoming the new Dakota Fanning. Are there no other young actors out there or is she gonan be in literally every remake and film that stars a teenage girl?

Chloe Moretz is legal in the UK, age is 16.
on June 28th, 2012 at 9:38:49 AM
I love Chloe as an actress, but this doesn't feel like the right role for her. She's never really played "meek" before (that I can recall). In fact, its her huge personality in contrast to her meek appearance that makes her one of the most dynamic actresses in Hwood right now.
This is her second time remaking a classic, and I personally hope its her last. She's too talented for this bullsh*t.
on June 28th, 2012 at 11:59:53 AM
She needs to turn 18 and pull a keira knightley amd make a serious gritty drama and get naked in it. Except hopefully have bigger tits because knightleys were quite possibly the biggest letdown ive ever seen. I did recently find out that it was not her first time going nude however. Aparently she made a british movie when she was 15/16 and went topless in that too. Havent seen it though its pretty obscure

First Look: Chloe Moretz in "Carrie" Remake
"Quick! Show us your tits!!!!"

I swear, from the 'you need to get laid' crowd, you people sure do spend an inordinate amount of time talking about sex, especially with children, as if to say, "we're the ones that never get laid", which isn't all that hard to believe.
"Plot: The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White"
Of course. Just let the little hellion go nuts and have wild orgies in the basement while wearing a Satanical hood, and I'm sure she'll grow up calm and properly adjusted, because nothing drives people to murderous rage like not being allowed to cavort like wild beasts, or so says that bastion of infantile insanity Stephen King.
Anyway, who cares? Just another film being exploited because thirty years of edited TBS re-runs isn't enough revenue.

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently ranked the country's highest paid presidents of private colleges, and a Texas school did not appear on the list until No. 34 thanks to Houston.
Rice University's David W. Leebron earned his rank with an annual compensation of $1.18 million.
The next Texas school to appear on the list of 550 presidents is Dallas' Southern Methodist University. President R. Gerald Turner earns $982,094, which put him at 44th place.

Zambia Cost Comparison
Report Abuse
Sausage will be considerably more expensive but -- they are in the park which I think is a great advantage. Also I think it is a little more upscale from the others.
Chongwe and Kasaka are about the same cost -- I think -- Chongwe is closer to the park -- you will spend 45 minutes or so getting to the park from Kasaka.
Kasaka has great managers -- Hugo and Esther -- are wonderful and will do everything they can to make your trip enjoyable. It is good for water activities.
Consider also the size of the camp -- Kasaka is the largest one I have been at -- I think they take over 20 people now. I am not sure about the others.
I prefer to stay in the park as you don't have to be concerned about being out by 8 if something is happening. And you do not spend 45 minutes or so getting to the park. That said, it is more expensive to stay in the park.
Report Abuse
I am one of the owners of Kasaka River Lodge.
All 3 lodges are excellent and I am sure you will enjoy whichever one you choose.
Price wise I believe Sausage tree are more but i cant confirm that.
We have 2 new vehicles which offer very comfortable seating.
We also offer a "boat ride" into the Park as well as the normal drive into the park.
I was there 3 weeks ago and we had some wonderful sightings.
I am going back in October as well. It will be hot but game viewing should be excellent.
Report Abuse
Thank you. That's very helpful.
What are we talking about for rack rates?
I noticed that, unlike for South African reserves, I don't see prices posted on the Zambian lodges' websites.
Report Abuse
Hi Dee,
Kasaka River Lodge = $375 per person per night sharing.
2007 Rates = ???
Chongwe River Camp = $425 pppns; However, if you can find a five night stretch, and stay 5+ nights, then the rate plummets down to $375 pppns, a terrific value.
2007 Rates = $480 pppns.
Sausage Tree Camp = $525 pppns.
2007 Rates = $695 pppns or Honeymoon Tent at $755 pppns.
Old Mondoro Camp = $445 pppns; Old Mondoro until just last week was only for walking safaris but as of now guests now have the option of a game drive or walking safari making it a terrific value.
2007 Rate = $525 pppns.
Kulefu = $440 pppns.
2007 Rate = $475 pppns.
Chiawa = $565 pppns (good luck finding availability...I have had very bad luck at finding space for clients here over the last couple months).
2007 Rate = $695 pppns or $795 pppns for the Superior Safari Tent.
Of the above camps, all but Chongwe and Kasaka River Lodge are within the park. Kasaka is about a 25 - 30 minute drive to/from the park and Chongwe is about a 15 minute drive to/from the park.
Kasaka seems safer from children as it is set high above the river while Chongwe has a more open feel to it and its tents are at the bank of the river with only a very short riverbank, allowing elephants very easy access into the camp (as well as other wildlife).
At this point, you should take whatever is availalbe. Wherever you go will be a good value because as you can see from the 2007 prices I have provided, prices are going way up at some of the camps next year. It is very difficult at this late point to place clients but for clients who are flexible, there is still availability although not always at the first choice of camps, for the preferred number of nights or in the order desired.
Report Abuse
Dee - Just my two cents - if you could get into a combo package at Chiawa and Old Mondoro, DO IT! These are two fabulous camps owned by the same folks and they are impeccably run. They also are in different areas INSIDE the park, and staff/guides at both camps are ... well, you just have to go and see for yourself. I've not been to the other camps and I'm sure they're great, too... but Chiawa and Old Mondoro? In a league of their own. Good luck and let us know what you come up with!
Report Abuse
How many of you are traveling?
I have looked at our booking sheet. We have a little bit of availability last week of sept and first week october. Aftert that its full.
Rocco has all our details if you need them.
Report Abuse
thank you all for the input--it was very helpful in doing the comparisons.
i listed three options and we almost chose kasaka. but we wound up selecting option number four (sorry to lead you all astray) that a friend suggested: mwambashi. i haven't seen a lot of postings about it here, so i will give a report after we return.
thanks again.
Report Abuse
Here is something on option #4.
Report Abuse
Here is a (working) link to Mwambashi:
While the location seems right, the camp looks like it is due for refurbishment...perhaps it would be a good candidate for Wilderness Safaris now that they are in Zambia. Besides the Kafue camps, Wilderness has reportedly bought out Lufumpa in South Luangwa, although this probably will not be ready until 2007.
Mwambashi doesn't seem to measure up as far as to the original three choices offered in the original post (Sausage Tree, Chongwe & Kasaka), at least not in terms of camp luxury. Hopefully, however, I am wrong and it has been refurbished since the website photos were taken. Those photos must be 3+ years old so it would not be good if the camp has not been refurbished as it will then look like the photos PLUS three? more years of wear & tear.
Dee, you are very brave! I truly do wish you the best safari, however, and you are in a great location of the park.
Report Abuse
Sounds like we do need a report on Mwambashi.
Thank you for the links and, again, thank you for the input.
Rocco, did you mean Luamfwa, not Lufumpa?
Report Abuse
Lufumpa, Luamfwa...close enough!
It didn't sound right when I was saying it in my head and now I know why. Luamfwa is in a beautiful isolated part of the park, far south of the busier central part of the park.

2012 NFL Week 3: Colts Defense Shows They Still Have Work To Do In Loss to Jaguars
In the Peyton Manning era, the Indianapolis Colts weren't very well-known for their defense. Yes, they had big name players like Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis and Bob Sanders in the past, but their 4-3 defense wasn't considered the best at all, nor aggressive.
With a new era in under Andrew Luck, the defense has changed quite a bit under new head coach Chuck Pagano, with the Colts switching to a 3-4 defense. Mathis and Freeney are both outside linebackers now. The defense is much more aggressive, getting more into the blitz-style of things.
However, even with that, the team is still new and young and has to adjust. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday in Week 3, they showed that they still have a lot of improvements to make. In a game they were supposed to win, Indianapolis let their fans down at home in Lucas Oil Stadium in a 22-17 loss, dropping their record to 1-2.
The Jaguars are an AFC South rival, but even with that, this was a game that the Colts were favored to win. Blaine Gabbert isn't necessarily great by any means, but he has shown improvement this season. However, the receiving game is still weak and the offensive is mainly run through All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew. Stop MJD and you most likely get a victory.
It didn't happen Sunday. Not at all. Though Indianapolis got off to a hot start at 14-3 early in the game, the offense sputtered a bit and the heat died down. Things got out of hand in the third quarter when the Jags got right back into the game thanks to a big, 59-yard touchdown by Jones-Drew and two field goals by kicker Josh Scobee to give the Jags a 16-14 lead.
It didn't look good for a defense that was supposed to excel in run-stopping to allow a 59-yard touchdown go on them. The given was that their secondary was the weak link for this season. The running game? Not so much. But still, the Jaguars found a way as the running-based team that they are.
And with the Colts offense struggling for most of the second half, they finally picked things together with 56 seconds remaining in the game when Adam Vinatieri kicked a 37-yarder to give the Colts a 17-16 lead. It seemed like deja-vu all over again, just like last week when Vinatieri hit the game-winner to give Indianapolis a 23-21 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
However, on the next drive, all hell broke loose when Gabbert found wide receiver Cecil Shorts III for an 80-yard touchdown pass. The coverage was blown, but the big thing was that there was at least four guys within reach of getting Shorts. Shorts just took off and he was too fast for even safety Antoine Bethea to catch.
And just like that, the Jaguars took a 22-17 lead with 45 seconds remaining in the game. Luck had another chance to show off his fourth-quarter heroics, but it wasn't enough. With two seconds left and with about 25-yard pass to throw, it didn't happen.
It just goes to show that Luck can't do everything, especially in these situations. Relying on the offense can't happen this year, especially when Manning isn't even around anymore. It's still a rebuilding process and it's only Week 3. But the defense let a lot of people down, especially in a game that was supposed to be won.
Had there been coverage there on Shorts, who knows what would have happened? Jacksonville could have failed on the drive. But what's happened is over it. It's on to the next one.
And for the defense, there is still work to be done.
