ABACUS from this triangular pattern?
There are nine teddies in Teddy Town - three red, three blue and three yellow. There are also nine houses, three of each colour. Can you put them on the map of Teddy Town according to the rules?
An 8 by 8 chessboard is placed so that a black square is in the top left-hand corner. Starting in the top left square and working along each row in turn, coloured counters are placed, one on each square, following the sequence black, white, red, black, white, red, black, white, red and so on. When the right-hand end of each row is reached, the pattern continues, starting at the left-hand end
of the row beneath, until there is one counter on every square.
In the final arrangement, what fraction of the counters are on squares of the same colour as themselves?

WARSAW, Poland 2/6/12 (PennWell) -- Poland is looking to increase the share of renewable electricity within its energy mix from 10% to 15.5% over the next decade, and this would include investment in small hydro plants.
A new draft bill would help Poland, which currently generates more than 90% of its electricity with coal, meet the European Union's renewable production standards by 2020. A 2010 EU directive implemented in 2010 says that members will reach a 20% share of energy from renewable sources by the end of the decade.
"Our goal is to simplify, optimize and improve the support mechanism for renewables," says deputy economic minister Mievczslaw Kasprzak.
According to Kasprzak, Poland's annual spending on renewables could increase from less than US$1 billion in 2012 to $2.46 billion in 2020.
Currently, Poland's hydroelectric output accounts for less than 2% of the country's overall output, according to a study performed by Coalition Clean Baltic (CCB). CCB's report also says almost 90% of Poland's hydro potential remains untapped, meaning there is significant room for growth in hydroelectric growth.
The proposed bill would divert investment to solar energy, biogas, offshore wind, and small hydro. It would cut support for biomass, old hydro facilities and on-shore wind farms.

Apple is looking to double the amount of personnel on its in-house marketing and advertising team, according to a report from AdAge. Currently, according to the report, the team includes 300 employees, but Apple is said to be looking to increase that number to between 500 and 600 people.
Apple, in recent years, has reportedly been resilient to growing the team because of a philosophy created by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs:
Ramping up capabilities represents a necessary shift in direction for Apple, which under the late Steve Jobs "was fairly strict about the headcount in that group," said the executive, who asked not to be named. "The group didn't grow proportionally to the company as it went through astronomical growth, and that was partly because Steve wanted Apple to be seen as a products company, not a marketing company."
Jobs did not want Apple to have a large internal marketing team, because he wanted the company to feel more product-based, not marketing-centric.
Apple has reportedly been moving to poach new people for this group and has been increasingly moving to reduce its reliance on current ad partner Media Arts Lab. However, the report says Apple won't be breaking its exclusive ties with the firm.
Apple works with a few outside agencies, including TBWA/Media Arts Lab, Mono in Minneapolis and San Francisco's Eleven. That's not expected to change. But the in-house group has been tackling more projects, doing everything from site design to tutorial videos for Apple products to maintaining a large internal commercial-production facility.
Last month, we noted that Apple has poached Pete Distad, a former Hulu Senior Vice President, to become a Marketing Vice President. Perhaps the hiring of Distad is a move in line with Apple's marketing expansion strategy.

"Resilient?" Are you channeling Norm Crosby?
The main problem is that Samsung is EVERYWHERE here in Ecuador (Latin America). Apple needs to step up with more advertising!
Where is the Apple logo on this advert? The most powerful brand in the world and you don't use the logo.
Interesting. Noticing "Designed by Apple in California" standing alone more and more. New campaign? Check out this spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VpZmIiIXuZ0
I'll apply!

The new clubhouse that was completed in 1920 designed by architect and club member Donald R. Beeson.
The Johnson City Country Club, celebrating its 100th year this year, was established in 1913. The club's first location was on East Holston Avenue and New Street on 60 acres of land leased by Harry Gump, said former Johnson City Country Club president and co-chairman of the centennial committee Tony Ferro. The location included a nine-hole golf course and a cabin used to store equipment and clubs, as well as hold social functions. Ferro said the club grew and was able to relocate to its current location, 1901 E. Unaka Ave. In 1919, A.W. Tillinghast was selected to design an 18-hole golf course, but only nine holes were built at the time due to funding issues. Ferro said Donald Richard Beeson Sr. was also chosen as the architect to construct the clubhouse in 1919. The club's pool, which at one point included a slide, was added in the late 1930s, under the direction of then-president Dan Wexler. The pool was opened in 1941. Over its 100 years of operation, the club has had numerous expansions on the course and inside the clubhouse. In 2011, the country club was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and received a plaque to commemorate the achievement, Ferro said. This week, the country club will observe its centennial with a three-day celebration, including a time capsule dedication, a centennial luau and a centennial ball.

St. John USVI Trails: Maria Hope TrailExcerpted from St. John Off The Beaten Track © 2006 Gerald
The Maria Hope Trail follows an old Danish road that runs between the Josie Gut Estate on the Reef Bay Trail and Maho Bay on the north shore.
History of the Maria Hope Road
When travelers on horseback or wagon going between the Coral
Bay side of St. John and the Cruz Bay side came to the defile,
they had two options:
Around the year 1780, the defile was filled in by the owner of the Old Works Estate, Peter Wood, and the two sides of the island were connected by one road for the first time.
When Centerline Road was constructed along the mountain ridge, hundreds of tons of fill were brought in to make the road passable by motor vehicle. In the process, the Old Works Estate and the uppermost section of the Maria Hope Road were completely covered over with the exception of the horsemill wall the horsemill wall, which can be seen as soon as you descend the stairs to the Reef Bay Trail.
The ruins of Maria Hope Estate lie just about 200 feet from Centerline Road at the trail entrance to the Maria Hope Trail. Access to the ruins is provided by a trail going east and up just as you enter the Maria Hope Trailhead.
History of the Maria Hope Estate
Von Beverhaut had come from the Dutch Antilles to Tortola and was on Tortola when British kicked out all the Dutch in 1671. As the Danes had just colonized St. Thomas and were welcoming settlers, Van Beverhaut took his cane slips and whatever equipment he could carry and went to St. Thomas in his boat. After St. John was colonized by the Danes, he took up the Maria Hope plantation on that island. Set up in 1721, it was one of the largest estates on St. John and one of the first, if not the first estate dedicated to sugar production. It was also one of the first to be abandoned.
Von Beverhaut died in 1728 and Maria Hope was taken over by William Vessup, who later reportedly stabbed a man to death on St. Thomas over a land dispute. Wanted for murder Vessup fled the island in 1732. The estate was abandoned and burned by slaves in the 1733 rebellion.
The estate went through a series of owners and consolidations and was abandoned around the start of the nineteenth century.
The road from the Maria Hope Estate to Maho Bay became overgrown and lost in the bush, until 2005 when the Maria Hope Road was cleared and made passable through the efforts of the Trail Bandit and a local hiking society.
Ownership of the Valley
See Maria Hope Trail update article
From Centerline Road North to Maho Bay
The 0.8 mile track descends the western side of the Maho Bay Valley, following a gut, and emerging either on the North Shore Road at the end of the steep hairpin turn west of the beach at Maho Bay or on the flats behind Maho Bay Beach. The latter is the preferable route as unlike the original road, this does not go through private property.
At the top of the trail in the vicinity of Centerline Road, there are the remains of the old stone walls of a horse corral and the retaining wall for the original Danish Road, Konge Vey.
The trail passes through a beautiful tropical forest shaded by massive West Indian locust and hog plum trees as well as attractive stands of bay rum and guavaberry.
In the fall of 2005, the guavaberry trees were rich with both purple and orange varieties of guavaberries, prized for their use in guavaberry wine and guavaberry pastries. Also noteworthy are the beautiful rock formations, teyer palm and heart leaf and scrub brush anthuriums.
About half way down the trail, there are beautiful views of Maho and Francis Bays to the north and out to West End, Tortola to the northeast.
From Centerline Road South to the Reef Bay
Because of the enormous amount of fill used to create Centerline Road, access to the southern half of the Maria Hope Trail is extremely difficult at this original juncture. However, a spur trail, cut by a local hiking society, found at the entrance to the Bordeaux Mountain Road just east of the mailboxes provides a difficult, although passable, access to the Maria Hope Trail. This is not an official Park trail, it is only semi-improved and is not regularly maintained. Be extremely careful. The trail is very steep and slippery.
The southern section of the Maria Hope Trail lies at the end of this spur. It is passable, but with some difficulty, especially toward the bottom of the trail. Turn left. To the right, the trail ends just below Centerline Road. Proceeding to the left, the trail leads to two spur trails. The first spur goes to the Paquerau Ruins and the second to the more extensive Estate Hope ruins, which include the remains of the greathouse, the horsemill, a cistern and an animal watering trough. Continuing south, the trail leads to the Reef Bay Trail just below the Josie Gut Ruins.

With the apparent decision by the Obama administration to throw in the towel on a New York trial for KSM, speculation has turned to what other locales might take on the burden of a public trial for the world's most notorious jihadist. One suggestion has been Alexandria, Virginia, where the 2006 death-penalty trial of Zacarias Moussaoui was held. However, Gov. Bob McDonnell is having none of that. His spokesman, Tucker Martin, had this to say on the subject when I inquired as to the possibility of a trial in the federal court in Alexandria:
The governor is adamantly opposed to that trial taking place in Virginia. He has been unequivocal in his opposition to any trials of Guantanamo Bay detainees taking place in the Commonwealth. He will continue to make his strong opposition clear, and will work with Virginia's congressional delegation to prevent any Guantanamo Bay detainees from setting foot in Virginia.
Martin referred me to McDonnell's multiple statements on the topic during the campaign last year when, at one time, Virginia Congressman James Moran evidenced enthusiasm about hosting Guantanamo trials and accepting released detainees in his district. Back in May of 2009, when rumors circulated that the Uighurs might be coming to Virginia, McDonnell declared support for the "Keep Terrorists Out of America Act," which would have required the president to certify that the detainee did not pose a security risk and to inform Congress as to why a specific location had been chosen. Again in August, then candidate McDonnell released a statement declaring:
I strongly oppose the trials of any Guantanamo Bay detainees being conducted in Alexandria, or anywhere in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The federal courthouse in Alexandria is located just feet from hotels, shops and apartment buildings. In 2006 the Alexandria trial of terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui demonstrated firsthand the tremendous burden such events place on the community.
The bottom line: if the Obami intend to relocate the KSM trial to Virginia, they will get quite a fight from the governor and, I suspect, other elected officials. And frankly, any governor of another state who takes a less adamant stance on the topic is likely to encounter a storm of criticism.
Perhaps it is time to return KSM and his associates to a secure, offshore location where he can be tried before a military tribunal with no risk or further financial burden on the American people. We have one built specifically for that purpose: Guantanamo Bay.

PSAs may make comeback
The Police Council Committee is dusting off an old idea and making it fresh as a means of helping with the manpower shortages that continue to plague the Roswell Police Department. The idea of bringing back the Police Service Aides has been proposed by Ward 3 Councilor Jeanine Best.
City Hall has two job descriptions for PSAs, one dating back to 1978. The most recent comes from 2004.
Sgt. Jimmy Preston explained, "The PSA program was set up for a specific purpose, as a stepping-stone to get young people into law enforcement. It ended because we could not get enough 18- to 20-year-olds who qualified to apply."
He referred to it as a beneficial program, but, "The age limit became a problem because there are not a lot of people of that group who are interested in police Login to read more

Cricket legend Tony Greig surrounded by family in final hours

IT was the last Christmas Day cricketing legend Tony Greig would share with his family.
This precious image captured Greig surrounded by his loved ones, including wife Vivian, daughters Samantha and Beau and sons Mark and Tom as they celebrated Christmas together.
The day the photo was taken Greig posted a holiday message on Twitter: "Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you all. Would love to be at Test but son Tom and I will be tuned in."
Channel 9 yesterday tweeted the family photo, saying: "Our thoughts are with Tony's family."
Messages of support continued to flow from the public yesterday as news spread of the 66-year-old's death.
"The Great Commentator Tony Greig No More ... We all will miss his Awesome style," Shantanu Newse wrote on Facebook.

Our thoughts go out to his beautiful young family and partner who have lost their leader. God in his wisdom decided to bring his life to an end before the pain of his cancer made his life worse -

Shame that Gayle and Haddin haven't learned anything from the great man. I remember watching Tony Greig captain England when I was growing up in India. Will never forget him. Loved his commentary and knowledge of cricket. RIP Tony Greig.

Product description
In AD 79, the beautiful Bay of Naples was rocked by the dramatic fiery eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii and Herculaneum--and countless nearby farms, estates, and villages--were completely buried under pumice and super-heated ash. It was arguably the most widely recognized volcanic eruption in recorded history, and the ruins it left behind are our most valuable archaeological record of day-to-day life in the Roman empire. This magnificently illustrated book illuminates the daily lives of the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The plaster-cast bodies of the victims are the most vivid reminders of the horrific event that made Pompeii so well-known, but who were these men, women, and children so cruelly frozen in time? Drawing on full-color photographs of more than 200 excavated objects--from a soldier's sword to a shopkeeper's blue glass storage bottle-Paul Roberts, a curator at the British Museum, lifts the inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum out of the ashes and ruins of their homes and brings them back into the light. Roberts explores every room in the typical Roman home. Here are bronze busts and magnificent mosaics from an entrance area; beautiful frescoes and silver drinking cups from a dining room; a carbonized wooden cradle and birth certificate of a little girl from a bedroom and library; and bottles for fish sauce and cooking pots from a kitchen. In addition, Roberts offers an engaging discussion of the many shops founds in the two cities, ranging from bakeries to taverns, and he also reconstructs the catastrophe, drawing on the best archaeological and geological evidence, as well as the eyewitness account of Pliny the Younger. With sharp full-color photographs of the most celebrated artifacts, including incredible recent finds from Herculaneum, this book captures the public face and private life of real Roman families.

Review quote
"This book is an important contribution to our understanding of Pompeii and Herculaneum, for the author discusses both cities with equanimity, effectively weaving together the archaeological evidence (much of it recent) with information about Roman culture and always mindful of including the non-elites in his discussions. The illustrations, which are of consistently high quality, have been carefully chosen...All in all, this engaging text -- with its, useful notes, list of exhibits, and extensive bibliography -- will appeal to a wide readership, from the interested lay person to the university student. In fact, this reviewer would find it a useful text for courses on ancient cities and Roman culture." --Linda Maria Gigante, University of Louisville, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Winds Whip Up Trouble Across NK
High winds closed the Hood Canal Bridge and knocked out power in parts of North Kitsap on Monday afternoon.
A gale-force wind warning was in effect until 10 p.m. Monday for Hood Canal and Puget Sound, according to the National Weather Service.
The state Department of Transportation closed the floating bridge to all traffic at 3 p.m., and it remained closed until about 7:30 p.m. Scattered power outages due to falling tree limbs also snarled traffic and caused local schools to cancel events.
Traffic backups were reported on Highway 305 in both directions between Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo, with traffic signals in several locations not working.
Several North Kitsap schools also lost power. Bands from Gordon Elementary and Kingston Junior High were scheduled to play Monday night at Kingston Junior High, but the concerts were canceled.
North Kitsap School District officials advised parents to check television, radio and www.kitsapsun.com this morning to determine whether school would be closed or delayed.
Puget Sound Energy spokeswoman Dorothy Bracken said crews had been out all afternoon to deal with downed power lines. In the hardest-hit Poulsbo area, groups of 12 to 50 households were without power.
But Bracken said crews should have the power restored by morning.
"They'll work through the evening to get those small groups of customers, customers without power, back online later tonight or by morning," she said.
Today is expected to bring more wind and rain to the area. The National Weather Service forecast late Monday called for a 60 percent chance of rain, winds from the south at 22 mph and a high of 49 degrees.

On a happy note according to EW this year's Paleyfest will see reunited casts of Apatow creations Freaks and Geeks and the undersung Undeclared – and Jay is on the list to attend the panel, which means new photos and maybe video! As soon as I get any media in my hands (figuratively), I'll make sure it gets to you guys. Thanks for your patience!

Say hello to our athletes and welcome these overnight racers into town. A few of us have been in agreement lately that we are Gore Geeks. What makes for a Gore Geek? Well theres lots of stuffChecking the website five or more times a day to see if the snowmakers are on the Rumor, calling the snow phone in the middle of the night, listening out your door in hopes to hear the guns are blasting (they are!), knowing how many ski days have passed since we groomed Jug Handle (a lot!), calculating the vertical feet youve skied so far this seasonWhatever your Gore Geek factor is, thanks! You make it fun for us to do what we do. Ill have you know, since the sap is due to start running soon- our head snowmaker has a cool maple sugar farm!

Add Slate to the list of news organizations with a sudden interest in getting online readers to contribute some cash rather than leaving the whole thing to advertisers.
The online magazine has been conducting a survey to gauge support for a subscription-based premium membership program. Membership would include such perks as "access to Slate personalities" — is this my chance to finally score some quality time with Farhad Manjoo? — discounts to events, extra content and membership in a book club.
"It's a very early stage exploration of ideas we've batted around for a long time," says Slate Group chairman and editor in chief Jacob Weisberg, via email.
Here's a page from the survey, courtesy of my colleague Kashmir Hill, who caught it.
Slate's explorations come just as its corporate cousin, the Washington Post, is reportedly considering a digital pay model of its own after years of dismissing the idea as unworkable. Warren Buffett, the Post Co.'s biggest outside shareholder after the controlling Graham family, has made his own preference for paywalls clear.
The Post seems likely to emulate the metered model adopted last year by The New York Times, which permits users a limited number of free page views per month before requiring a subscription. The Times also weighed the merits of a membership program, asking readers about it in a survey similar to Slate's, but settled on the metered approach as more robust.
"We're NOT looking at any kind of metered model or paywall (we tried that in 1998!) and there's no connection to the kind of model that the Post has reportedly been looking at — other than the shared appreciation that journalism is healthier if it has multiple sources of revenue," Weisberg says. [Note: Weisberg replied to me just after I published this post; I've updated it to include his comments.]
In 2011, Slate's sometime rival, Salon, instituted its own premium membership program very similar to the one Slate seems to be eyeing. But it discontinued the program, Salon Core, after only nine months, saying it had been "a challenge to move the needle significantly."
[Update: The original headline to this story said only that Slate was considering a digital pay model. After Weisberg objected to that phrasing rather, um, vociferously, I agreed to reconsider it. A premium membership of the type Slate is exploring, including bonus content available to members, is absolutely a pay model. There's no question of that. But some readers who glanced only at the headline were mistakenly concluding that Slate was on the verge of adopting a paywall, so in the interest of clarity I changed the wording.]
Here's the page of Slate's survey asking about the book club.

ELIZABETHTON — Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes said his staff will be going through a debriefing process this week to determine if any changes to policy or procedures need to be taken to prevent something similar to the hazardous material incident at the jail Friday night that sent six people to the emergency room and caused a lockdown to a section of downtown Elizabethton.
The problems began when a Carter County deputy arrested a man who was described as having a strong chemical odor on his clothing and skin. The odor led to several individuals becoming ill and a hazmat emergency being declared.
"We will be looking at what happened," Mathes said Monday afternoon. He said one area that will be considered is the response when the first deputy collapsed.
"They first thought Deputy Holtsclaw had suffered a heart attack, so there was no decontamination conducted," Mathes said. That meant several others were exposed.
Despite the problems and the frightening moments, Mathes said it was good to know that only six people were taken to the hospital and only a dozen had to be decontaminated.
"Considering what they knew at the time, everything went smoothly," Mathes said.

Richter Rises Most in 4 Months on Oversold Sign: Budapest Mover
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Gedeon Richter Nyrt., Hungary's biggest drugmaker, rose the most more than four months as a technical signal indicated the stock was oversold.
The shares rose 2.8 percent to 36,500 forint by the close of trading in Budapest, the biggest advance since July 27. The stock's 13 percent drop last month pushed its 14-day relative strength index below the 30 level, which some analysts consider as oversold, on Nov. 30. The RSI was at 40 today. The benchmark BUX stock index, in which Richter has a 19 percent weighting, fell 0.3 percent.
Richter had the biggest monthly drop in more than a year in November as it was the only Hungarian stock removed from the MSCI Inc.'s Hungary Index as part of a semi-annual review of the gauge's members, effective from the start of this week, according to a statement on MSCI's website on Nov. 14.
"We are expecting the selling pressure to be disappearing from today, allowing the stock to head toward its fair value, which is seen well above 40,000 forint by most," Jozsef Miro, a Budapest-based analyst at Erste Group Bank AG, wrote in an e-mailed report today.
Traders bought and sold 163,825 Richter shares today, more than 330 percent of the three-month daily average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Volume soared to a record 1.1 million shares on Nov. 30.

D. Thompson finally hits ground running
Harbaugh on Monroe: "We're excited to have Eugene here."
With Jacoby Jones still sidelined, Deonte Thompson made his 2013 season debut as the Ravens kick returner at Buffalo and drew positive reviews from special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg.
Thompson, who missed almost all of the preseason after suffering an ankle injury at Tampa Bay in the first preseason game, returned three kicks for 73 yards against the Bills (24.3 avg.) with a long of 34.
"He hit the return fast. The one return that there was a hole there, he did all of the things that we want a returner to do," Rosburg said in his weekly news conference on Thursday. Referring to a later return of 21 yards, Rosburg said Thompson "protected the ball and got what he could – so it's a good start for him. I think he was anxious to get out there again, and now that he's dusted that off, hopefully, it will be great things to come for him."
Ball security is a key attribute for any return man, and it cost Thompson last season. He opened the year as the Ravens' kick returner, and averaged 25.9 yards on 15 returns with a long of 49. But then he fumbled away a kickoff at Kansas City. The Ravens switched to Jones the next week against Dallas, and the first time Jones returned a kick he went 108 yards for a touchdown. Thompson didn't return another kick all season.
But Thompson's straight-line speed and big-play ability make him a more ideal kick returner than running backs Bernard Pierce or Shaun Draughn, both of whom have lined up as the deep man while Jones has been sidelined.
Thompson, though, got his bell rung while catching a deep pass late in the game against Buffalo. Coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that Thompson would go through the NFL's concussion protocol, and although he sounded optimistic about Thompson's condition, Thompson has not practiced yet this week and his status for Sunday is up in the air.
You can bet that Thompson, a Florida native and former Gator wants to be in action this week at Miami, especially after already missing more than a month with a foot injury.
Jones, meanwhile, has returned to practice in a limited fashion, but Rosburg did not give a timetable on Jones' return to game action.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A Rhode Island police chief accused of stealing $714 from a stripper's pocketbook following a chase has been sentenced to serve six months in prison.
Former North Providence police Col. John Whiting was sentenced Friday to five years in prison, but 4 ½ years were suspended. The judge stayed the sentence while Whiting appeals.
Whiting was convicted in July of larceny over $500 and solicitation to receive stolen goods for taking the money in August 2011. Prosecutors say he rifled through the woman's car and purse after she fled as the remnants of Hurricane Irene hit the region.
Prosecutors say he gave another officer the money, telling him to spend it in Las Vegas. Whiting says he seized the money as evidence.

Things I liked:Solid, powerful and accurate. Its heavy but seems to be less hold sensitive because of it. Had low expectations with Hatsan due to lots of quality control complaints. After 200 shots its shooting sub-dime size groups at 20 yards with JSB, Hatsan Vortex and H&N pellets. Lots of power out of the .25. No problem shooting through 3/4" plywood at 25 yards with pointed pellets. I'm getting 800 FPS with H&N Field Target Trophy's. Mine also loves Polymags. Did the 10 for 10 and was worth every penny.
Things I would have changed:Would be great if it came with the silencer that they put on the 125 Sniper Model.
What others should know:I've heard several complaints about the trigger but compared to my Umarex Octane's trigger its a dream.
Things I liked:The Power!!!
Things I would have changed:I think the safety could be improved somewhat.
What others should know:I've shoot a lot of air rifles but this one is my favorite!!!
Things I liked:Good scope mounting setup. No problem with scope moving under the heavy recoil of this rifle. The trigger was ok, better than Crosman's I've owned. Some people gripe about the rifle being difficult to cock, but I was able to shoot 50 rounds a session with no trouble, and I 'm 69.
Things I would have changed:Hatsan's QC
What others should know:I had this rifle for one week. My first inclination when I opened the box was to send it back immediately. The stock had what appeared to be white water marks and was dark in other places. It cleaned up ok, so I inspected it further and it was ok. I got the 10 for 10 and the gun averaged 995 fps with 11.9 g Hobbies. The ES was 99 fps . A week later a 10 shot string with jsb 15.89 g averaged 722 fps. Too low. I returned the rifle for a refund including the 10 for 10. These rifles are notorious for having QC issues. No more Hatsans. 722 fps. Something was wrong . t two 10 shot strings with CPHP 14.3 g pellets and they averaged 887 and 891 fps with the second string having a ES of 20.5 fps. I thought it was settling down. Five days later I shot one 10 shot string of jsb 15.89 g and it averaged 721.83 fps, with a ES of 45.8 fps. Something was wrong. I returned the rifle and received a refund, including the 10 for 10.

Body image: Are we wired for distortion?
ALERT!!!! It's Change the Way You See, Not the Way You Look Week! This week is the the brainchild of Caitlin at Operation Beautiful, a website (and now book!) that aims to help individuals change the way they see themselves "one post-it note at a time." Check out the website for more information on this mission. It's cool stuff!
Speaking of changing the way that we see… Do you ever wonder why you can't seem to move past those disparaging thoughts about your hips or belly? Your weight may be less to blame than your brain, according to recent research on body image.
While body image admittedly has many sources of influence (such as parental commentary and the media, to name a few), scientists have discovered that there may be biological bases for distortions of our actual body shape and size. These misrepresentations are characteristic of those with eating disorders (and in fact are part of the diagnostic criteria), but are also a struggle for those of us who, say, live on Planet Earth… Thus, this new understanding of how we perceive ourselves is particularly relevant.
First, let's establish how our brains perceive our bodies. Obviously it's important for our brains to understand both where our bodies are in space (called proprioception) and our relative size in order to make judgments related to movement. For example, we need this information to decide if we can squeeze behind the chair of that jerk who is clearly not moving his seat for us… Or how hard we can plop down on the couch without scaring the cat. People with extremely distorted body image have an extremely difficult time with these seemingly simple decisions.
Research tells us that these individuals' difficulties may actually be related to brains that are functioning differently. Perceptions of our body size require a fairly complex process that's completed by the posterior parietal cortex (there will NOT be a test!). Neurologist Henrik Ehrsson actually conducted a study in which he created the illusion of a shrinking waist (No, you can longer sign up to be a participant in the study!) utilizing the Pinocchio Illusion. What he found was that not everyone experienced the shrinking sensation in the same way or to the same degree. This indicated to Ehrsson that our brains might all be slightly different in how we calculate our own size, an important factor in considering what might be contributing to body image issues.
A newer study by one of Ehrsson's colleagues at the University College London, Matthew Longo, also delved into the roots of body perception. Longo and his buddies asked participants to estimate the location of their knuckles and fingertips while their hands were hidden under a board. They found that the participants misjudged their hands, thinking that their hands were wider and their fingers were shorter than they actually were, despite being able to pick their hands out of a "line-up" of photographs. Longo called the distortions "dramatic" and explained that visual image of ourselves seem not to be used for position or feeling sense.
To take this a step further, a severely underweight boy could thus look in the mirror, and despite the visual cue, "feel" much larger than he physically is. People of average or greater-than-average weight can also have a distorted body image, calling their bodies "fat" when others fail to see the basis for their criticisms. Thanks to researchers (and their willing participants), we are starting to develop a more scientific understanding for why. And once we have a richer understanding, we may be able to develop new ways to address our negative body feelings.
What ways have you discovered to address your negative body feelings?

I already answered your question a couple posts back, but I had never thought about the non-psychological reasons we might not see our body accurately. Thanks for opening my mind and eyes to this! (Lame pun intended.)

That is really really interesting. I can certainly see how that could happen. I would never have thought about it.
I know a way I overcome negative body image thoughts is prayer. I have to remind myself that I have a purpose and that I need to honor my body to be able to fulfill that purpose. Also, I added you on Twitter. I'm TinaFFF.

Very interesting post! I have heard before that our brains may be the blame, but never understood the research behind it. I am someone who has not experienced a lot of body image issues in my life (a few of course). I think I overcome this by focusing on what my body can do, and taking care of my body with healthy foods and exercise. I know I don't have the best looking body in the world, or the skinniest, but life is too short to aim for perfection :) I'd rather be happy!

I am so glad that you wrote about this as I think it's something not many people realize. As someone in recovery I do a lot of things, but one I had not mentioned was I write positive affirmations on post it notes (kind of like my own personal Operation Beautiful) and I stick them in random places, the bathroom mirror, the refrigerator door etc. to remind myself in those places of weakness that I need to remember to take care of myself first.

This is so true! The way I see myself is 100% mental. And not everyone even myself is able to recognize that fact.

Such interesting research! Thanks for sharing it with us. :) I think our perceptions of our bodies are also affected by the mood we're in and what we do that day. For me, if I'm in a bad mood, I suddenly feel much larger (that's when the "I feel fat" thoughts start to come around). Also, if I haven't worked out, I feel particularly disconnected from my body and also larger. When I feel like that, I just try to stop my negative thoughts, and remember to be kind to myself. I know these aren't earth-shattering tips, but it helps to just stop yourself and say, "Enough. I'm a good person, and I'm just having a bad day, and my body doesn't deserve this bashing" (something like that! :)

I kind of let myself sit with it lately. I hear the fear, and then I think, "Okay, what if that's true?" I'm usually exaggerating. Then I think about how vast the differences are between what I'm threatening myself with and what is real.
Sometimes I am in denial about reality. That is when sitting with how I really am gets a bit difficult. But, I cannot defy aging, and I don't want to defy it completely either. I think about how I feel I am perceived and then think of ways to change that. If it's not worth the expense (time, energy, obsession) then I work on adjusting my expectations.
It's a long term approach.

We have received some questions about the installation of the new lighting sets for the 1:350 scale U.S.S. Enterprise model kits so Ploar Lights put together a quick tutorial video that is available through the Polar lights YouTube channel and our Collector Model Blog. Polar Lights brand manager, Jamie Hood, shows step-by-step how the lights should be installed into the model. This video covers some of the trickier spots that a modeler may encounter as well as some helpful hints to ease the assembly of either MKA005 Deluxe Accessory Set and MKA007 Lighting Kit. As with any of our model kits, we recommend reading all of the instructions completely before you begin any project, but this video should grant a great insight about the installation before the project is begun.
We've seen some excellent buildups with the lights installed. We hope this video assists those that have been holding back from lighting their builds. Enjoy!
Creation Entertainment's
12th Annual Official STAR TREK Convention
Las Vegas 2013
August 8 - 11, 2013
Thursday - Sunday
(with pre-registration and vendor preview on Wednesday night)
The Rio Suites Hotel
3700 W. Flamingo Rd.
Las Vegas, NV
You are cordially invited to "beam down" to the experience like no other: The Creation Entertainment Las Vegas Official STAR TREK Convention
celebrates its 12th year and we're out to top the extraordinary fun
we've all had at all previous Vegas gatherings! Close the door on the
outside world and join thousands of fellow fans from around the galaxy
as we honor Gene Roddenberry's legacy and the place that Star Trek holds
in our hearts!
Our venue, The Rio Suites in Las Vegas, has proven to be a huge hit with our audiences, everyone loves the super-large suite rooms, the fantastic selection of restaurants, buffets and bars, the exciting casino and its in the sky Masquerade show, and of course the state of the art theatres (featuring built in stages) and tech systems that offers impeccable sound even at the back of the main and secondary theaters. The fact that the entire convention takes place here rather than in a cold concrete convention hall really makes a big difference in enjoying your vacation!
With non-stop, round the clock live entertainment featuring over 70 Star Trek celebrities, the Vegas Convention also offers something no other major fan event does: EVERYONE who attends, no matter what grade of admission ticket, is guaranteed a seat in our main theatre where all the stars appear and all the major attractions take place. No worrying about getting in (or being cut off after waiting in line), no extra hassles and no extra charges to see the biggest stars: just pure fun! This difference is HUGE and we take pride also in the fact that many of our stars do far more than just "Q and A" on stage. We encourage our guests to really perform for the audience and many do live theatrical presentations which are always a highlight.
Along with main stage events, the convention also features a complimentary to all second track of programming that focuses on the science of Star Trek, fan panels and trivia competitions. The huge vendors room is continually bustling and along with cool Trek collectibles you could often catch celebrities at their own booths or just wandering around. ALL the Trek stars win praise from attendees for being so accessible and friendly. Our popular food functions and meet and greets with the celebrities will be scheduled, and many special events are planned. There is something truly unique about Las Vegas and this convention that puts everyone in the best of spirits and makes it a one of a kind celebration.
Tens of thousands of autographs and photo ops take place during the convention and we are very proud to offer these services to our audiences. Here attendees get the meet their favorite Star Trek stars and go home with a commemorative signature or beautifully shot professional photograph. Everyone loves Creation's famed in-house photographers: you will see the immediate difference when compared to other fan events!
After the past 11 years of great successes at The Official Las Vegas STAR TREK Convention we now turn our attentions to the 2013 gathering, scheduled to take place just a few months after the eagerly awaited 2nd JJ Abrams' Star Trek feature film. Excitement will be at an all-time high in Vegas but it just won't be the same without YOU! Keep on the look out for new additions to this site and for our complimentary STAR TREK E-BULLETINS for on-going news. THANK YOU to all our fellow fans for making the Las Vegas Convention the place to be for anyone who loves Star Trek as much as we do!

It's the kind of paradox that Mr. Spock finds fascinating — and the type of unmet challenge that Capt. James T. Kirk can't resist: No franchise has a longer history with video game fans than Star Trek, but to today's Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 audiences it's a brand that might as well be lost in space.
That may change with the April 23 release of Star Trek: The Video Game (available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as a Microsoft Windows PC version), which seeks a new commercial frontier for a brand that is heavy on heritage but light on contemporary credibility. The project also represents a traditional Hollywood power boldly going where it has never gone before: Star Trek: The Video Game represents the first major console game ever financed and released by Paramount Pictures, a historic studio that had licensed properties out in the burgeoning marketplace.
"For us it represents a huge investment in Star Trek," says Brian Miller, Paramount's senior vice president of brand marketing and the executive producer of the game. "We're all gamers and we wanted to make sure the game was a triple-A game, something Star Trek deserves and frankly may not have gotten for the last several decades."
RELEASE DATE: May 17th, 2013
DIRECTOR: J.J. Abrams
WRITERS: Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof and Roberto Orci
In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes "Star Trek Into Darkness."
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.
As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
CAST: Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov, John Cho as Hikaru Sulu, Benedict Cumberbatch, Noel Clarke, Alice Eve, Peter Weller, Joseph Gatt
Andrew Probert is one of the most revered designers in Star Trek's history. Besides Matt Jeffries, no designer has had such a wide ranging influence on the look of the Trek universe. From his work on Star Trek: the Motion Picture to Star Trek: the Next Generation, Andrew has been responsible for the look of two versions of the Enterprise, the 1701 Refit and the 1701D, as well as numerous other ships and designs throughout the production of the film and series. His work has also been seen in several other popular sci-fi film projects. Our discussion starts there...
I have not officially been a production designer... yet. Back in 1980 I was working in that capacity on the film: Starhunt, written by David Gerrold, but that project was canceled for some reason.
As a Concept Designer, my job is to provide conceptual visions of futuristic settings, props, or vehicles to help the crew start thinking about what everything might look like. Starting with a script and/or a description, I sketch up ideas of what the 'item' might look like and how it might be used. Having an education in Industrial Design gives me a bit of an edge in providing designs that look as if they could be real. Usually, my sketches visually reinforce what's written but can occasionally spark an idea that's actually added to the story.
Designs continue to evolve from the first sketch but obviously if set concepts are part of my job, those need to be nailed down right away, in order to start construction. When those are pretty much underway, I can get back to the exteriors.
That's basically what happened on Next Gen when I was originally asked to provide concepts for the main bridge. While working on those, I was also doodling out ideas I had for the Enterprise-D exterior, sticking them on the wall in front of me as I continued to work on the bridge. Writer David Gerrold was working on the show and would drop by every so often to see what was going on. One day he noticed my current Enterprise sketch and asked me if that was what the ship was going to look like. I told him I didn't know and he snatched it off the wall and walked out saying, "let's find out", or something to that effect. Maybe twenty minutes later he came back and slapped it down in front of me saying, "Yep, that's the new Enterprise". In answer to my astonished look & babbling he explained that he took it into a producers' meeting and they all agreed that was to be the new ship. Yeah, that really sent my head spinning. From that point (as I also continued to work on the bridge), it was a matter of refining the shapes and adding details.
Plenty of space to keep Tribbles out of the way I guess.
Was the shuttle to be a Vulcan design used by the Federation?
Well, who wouldn't want that? ... Besides a Klingon...
Thanks again for your time Andrew. It has been a pleasure.
Item No: AMT810
Release Date: June 2013
AMT brings back the classic Mr. Spock model kit in a collectible lunchbox tin! This reissue of the classic AMT Mr. Spock figure model kit is presented for the first time in a lunchbox tin. The decorative retro artwork makes it a great Star Trek collectible. The kit is a simple glue together kit perfect for young modlers that want to take the step from snap to glue. The kit offers the perfect amount of detail to let expert modelers create a lifelike result. The kit includes pictorial assembly illustrations and a bonus collectible sticker.
Item No: AMT808
Release Date: July 2013
The set of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 became memorable as the primary location for many of Star Trek?s best episodes. The model kit set originally released by AMT in the mid seventies supplied modelers with an opportunity to build a set of their own. The kit is now re-released with the key addition of new figures and added details. Spock?s and Sulu?s scopes are present for the first time in the set. Parts to build six figures are included with options to build Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, Checkov, Ohura, Scotty or other "red shirts". Additional wall sections are also included for the first time to allow the set to be built completely in the round. New updated decals are included for accurate displays.
Like Star Wars, the Star Trek universe just keeps rolling on, with new movies, collectibles, and now, more scale models from Revell. Due to hit the stores shortly are these two fine spacecraft models, both to 1:600 scale, making them a decent size when constructed, and - interestingly - to a scale that means they are common with a great many ocean-going ship models, though sad to say, not Revell's own USS Enterprise aircraft carriers, which are to 1:720 and 1:1200 scales. Biplane vs Warp Factor? Even so, this modelmaker itches to make a 'what-if' diorama featuring a Revell Klingon starship dicing with, let's say a squadron of Swordfish torpedo bombers from the flightdeck of the same-scale Airfix HMS Ark Royal. Now that's a sci-fi project that's just waiting for one of the dark winter nights to come! Federation Starship The USS Enterprise kit looks reasonably simple, with 71 parts, and when assembled, it will measure some 481 mm (18.9 in) long. As fans will tell from the test-shot images here, the model features the NCC-1701 from the original Star Trek series. Five year mission As envisaged, NCC-1701 is a Constitution class starship, built primarily for scientific research and exploration in the far reaches of the universe. NCC-1701 is best known for its five-year exploration mission: "To boldly go," beginning in the year 2265 under the command of Captain Kirk from Earth, and First Officer Spock from the planet Vulcan.dit text.

Addison will be the unknown dark horse this year. That's if he isn't red shirted.
Maybe this is Oregon's way keeping Addison a secrete weapon in the backfield. His game film shows a kid who can flat run the ball and catch the ball, similar to both Dontre Wilson and DAT.
Exactly. Nice of the Sporting News to not mention that fact.
Don't forget about 4*, 5'10", 182lb Bralon Addison. He played WR, RB and QB in high school. His junior and senior seasons he gained over 2700 yds rushing and threw for over 4000 yds 50 TD's and 6 INT's. With the depth at WR, I can see this kid playing RB in a hurry if the Ducks need him. I don't see why this kid is getting looked over.
Wait... who exactly was pegging Tedfraud as a genius?
No wonder why the Oregon articles/forums are filled with Beaver trolls.
No Beaver fan should be making fun of Oregon's 2012 OOC Schedule. Sacramento State... enough said.
So what you are saying is that Oregon was better than Oregon State last year? Right? Although, I didn't see many Beaver fans declaring that to be true at the end of the CW that Oregon swept last year. Oregon State went to the playoffs last year, Oregon sat at home and based on your logic Oregon was still better because Oregon had a better record just against OSU. Sure, that makes perfect sense.
and the Ducks finished the season ranked higher than the Beavers, but you conveniently left out the FACT as well.
and the Ducks finished the season ranked higher than the Beavers, but you conveniently left out the FACT as well.
and finished the season with a better record.
I don't need to show you jack $hit Beaver boy. I would ask to see your OSU degree, but I don't doubt you actually have one. The only people who care and root for OSU are the grads. I don't mind at all that there are tons of non UO grads who root for Oregon, it generates tons of revenue for the school and fills Autzen to the brim each and every year.
Do you honestly believe that by coming on to an Oregon baseball article and trolling about a Duck team that made it further in this years' playoffs than OSU, is vengeance for last years OSU football article trolls and will somehow help ease the amount of Oregon trolls on OSU football articles this coming year?
Once again, more OSU fans are on commenting on a Duck article then Duck fans are. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this phenomenon always occurs on articles directly and only relating to Oregon?
On to next year.
Great run Ducks!
Look at all of the Beaver fans on this Duck article! ha! The majority of the comments have been made by Beaver fans regarding something that has NOTHING to do with the Beavers. That's pretty sad.
This is hilarious! I haven't seen this many Beaver fans so worked up over an article in years (It really has been at least 2 or 3 years). It looks like Aaron has finally found which combination of buttons to push on OSU fans. I've read several UO fans on here saying that Fentress is always reporting negative stories about Oregon and now OSU fans are crying about Aaron slanting this story. lol Good times! You're getting the clicks Fentress, keep it up! lol
Phil Knight allowed OSU to retain Pat Casey with his checkbook a few years back. If it wasn't for Phil Knight stepping in to help pay for Casey's contract, the team that OSU built would have come to an abrupt end years ago. OSU is no different than any other team, money can make or break any team.
Good news! Good job Ducks!
Good game Beavers. On to game three and the playoff's. Hopefully both teams will face off in the world series! Wouldn't that be something!
If it wasn't for that MONEY (compliments of Phil Knight), Pat Casey and his contract would have left Oregon State several years ago. So I guess Oregon State's recent success has all been bought as well right?
