PEPP 2014: Asia will continue to drive demand growth for polyolefins
June 25, 2014 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez in Zurich
Asia will remain the main demand region for polyolefins, and its share of worldwide polyolefin consumption will exceed 50% by 2020, with China representing well over half of this share, says Ajay Shah, senior executive v.p./chemicals at Reliance Industries. Shah was speaking today in a presentation to IHS Chemical's annual Polyethylene Polypropylene Chain Global Business Forum (PEPP), taking place in Zurich. India's polyolefin demand, although far behind that of China, is expected to be about 10 million m.t./year by 2020, representing 10% of total Asian demand...

Is Knicks' "Three to the Dome" Really a Thing People are Worrying About?
Brian DiMenna
If you're like me, the Knicks' apparent celebration of three-pointers in which three fingers are pointed at their heads to signify the three points that were just scored has barely registered. It's not even something I've really noticed was happening. But perhaps I should have, because what about the children? What about society?
In this morning's Daily News, Mitch Lawrence suggests we all should ask some hard questions about the thing we didn't even realize was a thing:
The Knicks made a ton of threes on Friday in their previous win at home, over Washington. That night it seemed that everyone did the three-to-the-head signal. That's when the talk of it being a gun thing got hot. Then on Saturday, Belcher ended his girlfriend's life, and shortly thereafter his own life in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot, bringing the whole issue of guns and athletes back to the fore.
By the time the Knicks had posted their latest win, Wallace was long gone, having been ejected in the first quarter after picking up two technicals. So he wasn't around to explain his sign.
Even if it's not about guns, he might want to come up with an alternative.
Obviously, you can draw a pretty straight line from the Knicks' seemingly innocuous celebration of three-pointers to this weekend's tragedy in Kansas City. I mean, they are practically the same thing!
Look, this is mostly my fault for even allowing this to bother me, but is a 12-4 team so uninteresting to cover that we have to bend ourselves in this much of a pretzel to try and gin up some controversy? Isn't there some other angle we can discuss, like what Mike Woodson's choice of goatee says about the war on drugs?

|Explanations of the symbols
|Chart of the moment
|The Four Elements
Symbolically, the number four finally brings us to the level of manifestation, matter and substance. The word 'nature' means 'that which is born', and all birth into nature is symbolised by the crossing of opposites. This is why we use the term the 'cross of matter', which limits us to our finite physical existence in both time and space, symbolised by the symbol for the Earth itself - the cross within the circle:
It is the four primary orientations, north, south, east and west, which give us our bearings and which make space and time comprehensible. Every birth chart is also a reflection of the symbol for the Earth, describing precisely the nature of the specific material, solid, concrete world into which each of us is born and through which each of us must manifest ourselves. Our astrological birth chart describes the moment in time and space when each of us takes on a separate physical existence. Whether or not we remain connected to the realms of spirit and soul, from this moment onwards we are literally physically alone in our separate bodies and physically mortal, which implies that one day we will die. The moment of birth is therefore a monumental event, and the moment when our birth charts become 'quartered' by two pairs of opposites - the east/west horizon (ASC/DES) and the north/south meridian (MC/IC).
It was the Greek philosopher-mathematician Empedocles (c. 450 BCE) who first established the system of the four primary elements, fire, air, water and earth. Drawing on the work of his predecessors, his proposal was based very simply and rationally on observation of the qualities of the physical world, which fell into two pairs of opposites: wet and dry, hot and cold. Fire was considered to result from the combination of dry and hot, air was created from the hot and wet, water from the cold and wet, and earth from the cold and dry. Each of the four elements was also associated with one of the four seasons. The earth was seen to be the densest and heaviest element, upon which the water - the sea, lakes and rivers - lay. Both earth and water have mass and weight, and their direction is downwards, which explains why these two elements came to be associated with negative, feminine, yin attributes. Above the earth and water is the air with its natural movement upwards, and above the air are the fiery heavens, the Sun, stars and planets, which explains why the elements of air and fire came to be associated with positive, masculine, yang attributes.
The Greeks considered that life itself depends upon a combination of these four elements. Earth is the substance or physical body, and the food which is needed to maintain this existence. Water is essential for life, and the major component of our bodies and of the earth itself. Respiration, breathing in an out, is another central condition of life, as is the warmth and light of the Sun. Since these four elements existed in the external world, it followed that they also existed within each human being. The life force itself, the force which holds all these four elements together in a discrete living being, is the quintessence, or the fifth principle, or prana, or whatever term we use to describe the life force. It was understood that when a living being died, each of the elements returned to its physical source and the quintessence, or life force, escaped back to its eternal source. This is the basis of the system of the four elements.
Audience: Sorry, Clare, but you mentioned five elements, not four.
Clare: The fifth element is known as the 'quintessence', the force itself which holds all of the four elements together in a living being. We could describe the quintessence as including both the spirit and the soul, which are described in the first three levels of the Tetractys. At death, the soul is released from the body and is reunited with spirit, with the source from which it originally emerged. These ideas belong to the Hermetic and Neoplatonic schools of thought, and have been carried down through the ages by the wisdom traditions. Physical and psychological health was considered to be the result of an elemental balance within the individual, and illness the result of a marked imbalance. The horoscope indicates the natural emphasis of elements we were born with - and any marked imbalance goes a long way towards describing our particular mode of functioning in the world.
The elements and the four humours
The idea of the four temperaments, or humours was established around 400 BCE by Hippocrates at the great medical school on the island of Kos. Greek medicine was based on the four humours, a system which was also used to describe the human temperament, psyche and psychology. This system has found its way into our language and, although they are gradually becoming more archaic, we still use the words phlegmatic, sanguine and melancholy to describe someone's 'temperament' or when we refer to someone as being 'temperamental'. Likewise, we still describe a person as being 'in their element' or 'in good humour' or 'out of humour'. You can see from this model how well the psychosomatic connection was originally understood.
Audience: But don't we generally use the term 'psychosomatic' to describe an imaginary illness?
Clare: Yes, that's right, and the term 'psychosomatic' is often used in a derogatory way to describe someone who we believe is a hypochondriac. However, the word literally describes the fundamental connection between the 'psyche' and the 'soma', or the body and the mind, or soul. The Greeks would never have thought of separating the physical from the emotional condition of a patient, and in this sense their medicine was truly holistic. This system of classification was used throughout medieval and renaissance Europe and sits very comfortably alongside astrology. Indeed, it was a requirement for physicians to study astrology as part of their training.
Audience: They still do that in some places.
The four elements in astrology
Clare: Now that we have reached the level of the four elements, we can add the final layer to the descriptions of the twelve zodiac signs. Once again, the descriptions of our elemental and psychological typology are reflected in our language. The element of earth is literally tangible, solid, stable, dependable, reliable, supportive, heavy and concrete. And these are the same words we might use to describe a person with an emphasis of planets in earth signs. We might even say that they are 'well-grounded' or have their 'feet on the ground' or are 'down to earth'. Equally, in birth charts where the earth element is weak or absent, we might be tempted to suggest that they 'get real' or that they are 'unearthed'. Fire is literally hot, devouring, radiant, volatile, expansive and explosive. All these words can be used to describe a person with an emphasis of planets in fire signs. Air can be breezy, draughty, dry or stale, words which can be used to describe a person with an emphasis of planets in air signs. Such a person might be 'a breath of fresh air' or 'full of hot air' (a combination of fire and air) or have a 'dry sense of humour'. Water is wet, fluid, flowing, dissolving, flooding, dripping, stormy, supportive and healing, all words which describe a person with an emphasis of planets in water signs. Such a person might be described as 'a drip' or 'wet' or 'fluid'.
The four elements in alchemy are portrayed in Johann Daniel Mylius' Philosophia reformata (1622) as representing the four stages of the alchemical opus. From left to right are earth, water, air and fire.
Jung's psychological types
For Jung, the number four, or the quaternity, provided a description of the way the conscious mind takes its bearings:
Jung's model of the four psychological types is expressed as two pairs of opposites:
As you can see from this diagram of the fourfold structure of the psyche, the intuition function is the polar opposite of the sensation function and the thinking function is the polar opposite of the feeling function. Although there are undoubtedly strong parallels between different fourfold models of the psyche, it is important not to try and reduce them to each other, since each has its own internal integrity. For Jung, 'It is one's psychological type which from the outset determines and limits a person's judgment.' [42] Psychological types are classes or groups of people with similar reaction patterns, typical attitudes that constitute:
Jung believed that if a particular psychological function was conscious and well developed, it was likely that the opposite function would remain unconscious, unknown and undifferentiated, containing powerful 'shadow' qualities which can often end up dominating the life of that individual. Intuitives are therefore likely to have a sensation shadow and vice versa, and thinking types are likely to have a feeling shadow and vice versa.
There is an analogy between this system and the psychological expression of the four elements in astrology. Strongly developed fire types will often have an earth shadow and vice versa, and strongly developed air types will often have a water shadow and vice versa. We will look at this more closely when we come to study the particular elements themselves. Of course, if we are lucky enough to have two opposite functions well-developed and conscious, then they can function very, very effectively together. However, as is normally the case with opposites, one side of the spectrum tends to be either projected, or unconscious, in which case it will often fall into the shadow.
Audience: You are using the term shadow to describe something which is unconscious.
Clare: Yes. Given that the psyche is, in principle at least, capable of being in balance and harmony, anything which remains unconscious does not simply go away, but falls into the shadow, from where it takes on a life of its own, unmediated by the ego. Our shadow qualities are often extremely obvious to others but, unfortunately, never to ourselves. Alternatively, we will 'project' our shadows onto the world or onto other people, not seeing these qualities as parts of our own psyche, since anything which we don't recognise in ourselves we tend to meet in the outside world.
Audience: So our task is to make all the elements conscious, whether or not we have planets in each of the elements?
Clare: Yes, that is true, assuming we are all striving to become fully conscious, whole and complete - although whether this is actually possible is another matter! Certainly we can become much more self-aware by knowing our own personal psychological biases, and less likely to blame the world or other people for our own failings, but this is very difficult indeed to do.
Audience: So we cut off our shadows, and then find that we are confronted with them anyway?
Clare: Exactly. Now, at the risk of overwhelming you with too many fourfold models all at once, there is one more I want to introduce before we move on to discuss the signs of the zodiac. It provides a further dimension, a description of four different types of truth, which I think is very valid to astrology. This is found in the quadrant model devised by the contemporary writer and integrative psychologist-philosopher Ken Wilber.
For Wilber [44], the quest for knowledge "has almost universally consisted of two different and apparently conflicting paths", our subjective experience of the world and our objective descriptions of the world, which appear to be at odds with each other:
For Wilber there are two different types of subjective experience, individual and collective. Individual, subjective experience refers to personal meaning, interpretation, values and truth. Collective, subjective experience refers to our shared sense of belonging, shared values and mutual understandings. The right hand side of this model describes two different approaches to objective reality, one individual and one collective. Individual objective reality arrives at the truth via 'empirical deduction from objectively observable facts'. Collective objective reality concerns whole systems such as large organisations, field theory, and so on.
The quadrant model above appears to provide a remarkably accurate description of the relative 'truths' of each of the four elements, which I have added to the diagram above. Wilber writes that each of these quadrants has its own truth and its own language, which form a crucial part of the whole picture. Each has its particular contribution to make and its particular weaknesses. The aim of the integrative approach is to become aware of each of these domains. 'If any system of thought attempts to ignore or deny any of the four validity claims, then those ignored truths actually reappear in the system as an internal and massive self contradiction.' [45] If we can understand that each of these orientations is equally valid and that none of them possesses the whole truth, then we are much more likely to be able to understand both ourselves and others, and less likely to judge or blame others for not being like us.
Now that we have set the scene by exploring the general meaning of the polarities, modes and elements separately, we are ready to move on to explore the zodiac signs themselves.

Parliamentary leader for the opposition Democratic Alliance, Lindiwe... Fotografía de noticiasCiudad del Cabo,Conflicto,Discurso,Huelga,Política,República de Sudáfrica,VerticalPhotographer STRINGERCollection: AFP 2012 AFPParliamentary leader for the opposition Democratic Alliance, Lindiwe Mazibuko, delivers a speech on November 15, 2012, in the parliament in Cape Town. Mazibuko spoke during a parliamentary session in which South Africa President Jacob Zuma hit back at accusations he is failing the country, hours after allies torpedoed attempts to censure him. Facing accusations he mismanaged the economy, was AWOL during deadly labour unrest and wasted millions of taxpayers' money on upgrading a private residence, a visibly angered Zuma struck back. It was a rare flash of steel for the normally jovial leader. In one month Zuma faces the ANC's electoral conference, which will go a long way toward deciding whether he remains president of Africa's largest economy for another five years.

Men's Basketball Wins Las Vegas Invite, 87-73 Over ASU
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Creighton opened up a 27-9 lead in the opening eight minutes and never trailed in a 87-73 win over previously unbeaten Arizona State to win the 12th Annual Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic on Saturday night.
Creighton improved to 6-0 on the season, while ASU fell to 4-1. It's the third tournament the Bluejays have won in 12 months, joining the 2012 MVC Tournament and the Dale Howard Classic last November.
It's the first time since 1928-29 that Creighton has opened the season with six straight double-digit wins, and the Jays are the only team in the country that has done that this season thus far.
All-American Doug McDermott, who scored 30 points last night vs. Wisconsin, had 29 points on Saturday to earn Tournament MVP honors. Junior teammate Ethan Wragge joined him on the All-Tourney squad.
Creighton blazed out of the gates to a 7-0 lead in the opening 76 seconds, prompting a quick Sun Devils timeout. Grant Gibbs scored off the tip, and Gregory Echenique would lay it in the next trip down to make it 4-0. Jahenns Manigat then buried a corner trey. ASU got to within 12-5, only to see CU blow the game open with a pull-up jumper by Andre Yates and consecutive treys from Wragge and Josh Jones that made it 20-7.
Creighton's lead reached as large as 27-9 on a McDermott basket with 11:52 to go in the first half before ASU mounted its comeback. The Sun Devils used two three-pointers and a three-point play during an 11-0 flurry. ASU got as close as six points on three occasions, but at the half Creighton would lead 45-36 behind 19 points from McDermott.
Jahii Carson rallied the Sun Devils back, scoring eight of ASU's first 17 points after the break to draw his team back to within 59-53 with 11:56 remaining. At that media timeout, CU head coach Greg McDermott challenged his team to get some stops. His team was up to the challenge, getting four straight stops while putting together an 8-0 run to make it 67-53 with under 10 minutes to go.
The teams played through a bevy of fouls that eliminated post players on both sides before Jonathan Gilling's three-pointer with 3:21 left trimmed the CU lead to just 75-69.
Austin Chatman would foul out with 2:47 to play and CU leading 77-71, but CU's bench saved the day. Wragge drained a trey, then Josh Jones had a driving lay-up that returned the lead to double-digits, 84-71, with 1:08 remaining, and CU would hold on from there.
McDermott played 38 minutes and led CU with 29 points and nine rebounds, in addition to two steals. Wragge finished with 13 points in 19 minutes to also finish in double-figures. Five other men had between seven and nine points, while Jones tallied a team-best three steals. Creighton shot 47.6 percent from the floor, including 8-of-23 from downtown, and were also 19-of-25 at the line. The Jays outrebounded ASU 24-12 after half and won the rebound battle on the night by a 41-30 margin.
ASU was paced by 30 from Carson, who also added seven assists and four steaals. Carrick Felix had 17 points and five rebounds. 7-foor-2 center Jordan Bachynski, who entered the game averaging a double-double and 6.5 blocks per game, was held to eight points and two rebounds and did not block a shot. ASU shot 43.4 percent for the contest and were 21-of-28 at the line.
The game featured 47 fouls, as three men were disqualified in the contest.
Creighton returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts Boise State (4-1) at 7:05 pm. That game will be broadcast on Cox 2 and will be part of the Mountain West/Missouri Valley Conference Challenge Series.

Mets still happy with Collins, but not talking extension at the moment
Michael Baron, Contributor
I don't think they should be talking about a contract extension right now either, especially after the struggles his teams have endured in two consecutive second halves. While that's not all Terry's fault, I don't think that is the right message to send as an organization at the moment. What was on display for most of the second half was unacceptable – no matter who is on the roster – and Terry, his staff, and the front office are all accountable for that.
Rather, I'd like to see how he does with a better roster (which hopefully comes next season). If he is given better cards to play with, it would be a better evaluation of how he is able to motivate and connect with the team. If that happens and they get off to a good start next season, they should consider extending him.

Airport celebrating 50th anniversary by sponsoring Down District Council Festival of Flight in August 2013
Belfast International Airport is delightedto be part of Down District Council Festival of Flight on Saturday 10 August in Newcastle as well as the Red Arrows and Typhoon participating, the Avro Vulcan XH558 will also wow the crowds.
The Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTTST) provide an education programme that is very much about honoring the past… creating an atmosphere of learning and discovery to explore the history of Vulcan XH558, its extraordinarily advanced British design and technology, and its importance in the context of The Cold War. But, most importantly, it's about looking forward…inspiring the future with much emphasis on science, engineering, design, technology and innovation.
Jeff Salter, Flight Director added "Newcastle Festival of Flight will make a little bit of history as VTTST announced in October last year that 2013 will be the mighty Vulcan's final flying year, and our last chance to bring it to Northern Ireland. We all hope that it will not come to this as the Trust has put up a mighty battle of its own to bring the aircraft back to flying condition. We just could not let this significant year pass Northern Ireland by." He added, "The Vulcan last visited Northern Ireland in 1985 at Belfast International Airport's last anniversary air display , so it is amazing to think that we will have this iconic delta wing Cold War warrior flying here again."
Michael Lipsett, Director of Recreation and Community Services commented, "This is a further development of the already immensely successful Festival of Flight that attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the seaside town in August. The expansion of the air displays has been made possible by the continued support of the B/E Aerospace plant in Kilkeel. This year we can announce the participation of a new sponsor, Belfast International Airport Ltd (BIAL), who are thrilled that we have secured the Vulcan to display in their 50th anniversary year. .
The programme is currently being finalised and with some of the information still under wraps so you will need to keep an eye on press and our www.facebook.com/DownFestivals for all the latest information on what's in store for all the spectators! A week long programme including the spectacular air displays alongside numerous exhibitions, music, street entertainment, vintage vehicles and finishing with an open air concert on the promenade for this crowd-pleasing event is to be launched shortly.
Information about all the events in the 2013 Festival of Flight will be available shortly at www.downdc.gov.uk, www.facebook/DownFestivals.com. Contact our Festival Office on 028 4372 2222.

On replication
This week has been dominated by questions of replication and of what standards are required to serve the interests of transparency and/or science (not necessarily the same thing). Possibly a recent example of replication would be helpful in showing up some of the real (as opposed to manufactured) issues that arise. The paper I'll discuss is one of mine, but in keeping with our usual stricture against too much pro-domo writing, I won't discuss the substance of the paper (though of course readers are welcome to read it themselves). Instead, I'll focus on the two separate replication efforts I undertook in order to do the analysis. The paper in question is Schmidt (2009, IJoC), and it revisits two papers published in recent years purporting to show that economic activity is contaminating the surface temperature records – specifically de Laat and Maurellis (2006) and McKitrick and Michaels (2007).
Both of these papers were based on analyses of publicly available data – the EDGAR gridded CO2 emissions, UAH MSU-TLT (5.0) and HadCRUT2 in the first paper, UAH MSU-TLT, CRUTEM2v and an eclectic mix of economic indicators in the second. In the first paper (dLM06), no supplementary data were placed online, while the second (MM07) placed the specific data used in the analysis online along with an application-specific script for the calculations. In dLM06 a new method of analysis was presented (though a modification of their earlier work), while MM07 used standard multiple regression techniques. Between them these papers and their replication touch on almost all of the issues raised in recent posts and comments.
Data-as-used vs. pointers to online resources
MM07 posted their data-as-used, and since those data were drawn from dozens of different sources (GDP, Coal use, population etc. as well as temperature), trends calculated and then gridded, recreating this data from scratch would have been difficult to say the least. Thus I relied on their data collation in my own analysis. However, this means that the economic data and their processing were not independently replicated. Depending on what one is looking at this might or might not be an issue (and it wasn't for me).
On the other hand, dLM06 provided no data-as-used, making do with pointers to the online servers for the three principle data sets they used. Unlike for MM07, the preprocessing of their data for their analysis was straightforward – the data were already gridded, and the only required step was regridding to a specific resolution (from 1ºx1º online to 5ºx5º in the analysis). However, since the data used were not archived, the text in the paper had to be relied upon to explain exactly what data were used. It turns out that the EDGAR emissions are disaggregated into multiple source types, and the language in the paper wasn't explicit about precisely which source types were included. This was apparent when the total emissions I came up with differed with the number given in the paper. A quick email to the author resolved the issue since they hadn't included aircraft, shipping or biomass sources in their total. This made sense, and did not affect the calculations materially.

Women's Floral 'n Lace Flannel Pajamas 5 5
PJs worth having The flannel in these PJs is of a very nice weight, the softness and heft hold up after laundering, and the fit is really comfortable. My only reservation is the lack of a pocket for tissues or a hankie. Still, I would not hesitate to order another pair if/when needed. February 25, 2014
These PJ's are genuine thick Flannel. I love, love, love my PJ's. I can't believe how comfortable they are and so warm! The Flannel is thick like my Grandma's Flannel gowns. Our house got cold when the stove wood burned up. I use to sleep with her as a child and cuddle up next to her warm Flannel gown. I am thinking about ordering another pair in the other color. I am very pleased with everything I have ordered from Vermont Country Store. Thank you for resurrecting my memories of the old days. February 14, 2014
Warm, feminine, And REAL flannel I am ordering a 2nd pair of these very pretty pjs. Most important to me is that they are warm and the real flannel of long ago. So many so-called "flannel" pjs today are not real flannel and not very warm. January 26, 2014
wow are these warm! I was thrilled that these have a gathered yoke since I am very full busted. But I was thinking of the other button front p.j.'s I've ordered and ordered that size. It was too large, but it is very doable and perhaps they will shrink a bit. But I doubt that. They are extremely warm and such a lush yummy feeling flannel. Even better than the flannels from the higher end brands Vermont Country Store carries. As you can tell I am just thrilled with these pajamas. Now we only need to get some colder weather out here in California so I can wear them. They were a bit warm under the down comforter. Could have worn them under just a quilt and been just toasty! Can't go wrong here ladies, in my opinion. May order some other colors in a smaller size. January 11, 2014
Great Flannel Pajamas I love my new pj's. The flannel is of a very good quality, the design is fine, and, best of all, the elastic is stitched on all the way around, not put in a pocket type enclosure like the Lanz pajamas which fray in a very short time. March 28, 2013

While my fall look was all about un-basic black on black, this spring I'm excited to take a note from some of my favorite runway shows and infuse my wardrobe with some lighter pieces. I particularly loved the sophisticated looks from Preen's S/S 10 show, including all of the gauzy tops and dresses that were toughened up with bandage details and black lace. Of course I'm updating my wardrobe essentials, which means trading in my dark skinnies for light-wash jeansÂ--I'm truly obsessed with The Row's foray into denimÂ--and swapping out my circle sunglasses for a pair with a slight cat-eye. But most of all, I'm looking forward to shedding my layers and working some pretty pastels into my warm-weather ensembles. There's something about a little burst of color and a sculptural silhouette that looks really fashion-forward for spring!

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Partners until 2016. Atomic and Marcel Hirscher prolonged their successful cooperation for four years. "Skis, boots, binding, goggles and helmet – I was not even close to considering any alternatives to Atomic", the leader of the overall World Cup said shortly before his 23th birthday.
"There are two philosophies in skiing. Either you adapt to the material you are offered – this is the rule. Or you are offered material that is individually adapted to you – this is ATOMIC." This is how Marcel Hirscher summarizes the cooperation with his material supplier of many years. Hirscher explained that there were no other sport where the influence and importance of the equipment was this fascinating, "We keep questioning every single details of the material all the time, but the final product is the result of precise handicraft. This is ingenious. There is not one single day where we do not try to improve the setup. This is an incredible effort for all persons involved and without this, considering my style of racing, successes would not be possible. I need partners who are a bit like my dad and me – and everyone we work with at ATOMIC is a bit like us. The whole company is on the same wavelength." 2 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, OLYMPIC GAMES AND FOUR WORLD CUP SEASONS The continuation of the cooperation was not a negotiation of the contract per se. "We all know what we want and we all want the same", Hirscher, who will stay with ATOMIC using skis, binding, boots, helmet and goggles of the world market leader until the end of the 2016 season, said. Until then, three major events, the World Ski Championships in Schladming 2013, the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014 and the World Ski Championships in Vail/Beaver Creek 2015, will take place. Hirscher, "Usually I do not plan this much in advance, but in this case there was absolutely no doubt. I didn't even think about alternatives." AMBASSADOR OF SKI ENTHUSIASM For ATOMIC the enthusiasm about the sport ranks first. The quality of the products and the successful engagement in professional racing for decades prove this. Marcel Hirscher does not only impress people by the way he races. It is also the way he talks, his style and his outlook and insights of the sport. This makes him an ambassador of ski enthusiasm. Hirscher, "Professional skiing is more than points and seconds. Skiing is more than just the competitive aspect of the race itself. Some years ago I thought it was a pity that only little information was given away about the details of the sport and how material actually worked. ATOMIC and me share a common interest and a chance in telling about the background of skiing, which is very exciting."

Clothes Washers and Dryers
Hot water accounts for 90 percent of the energy used to wash clothes. Choosing the warm setting instead of hot can reduce a load's energy use by half; choosing cold reduces it even further. Cold-water laundry detergents save energy as well – modern detergents are as effective in cold water as in hot. Washing in cold water saves energy because the water heater does not have to run as often. Using the soak cycle when washing heavily soiled clothing helps reduce the chance of having to wash clothes twice to get them clean, which saves energy.
For even greater efficiency wash only full loads, and select the appropriate water level for the load size. Do not overload the washer or dryer; clothes may not get clean and you may need to dry them more than once.
To save energy when using your clothes dryer, clean the lint filter after each load so air circulates better, and periodically inspect and clean the dryer's outside exhaust vent. A clogged exhaust vent lengthens drying time and increases energy use. A clogged exhaust vent also is a safety hazard, as the lint in the vent can ignite and cause a fire.
A dryer's cool-down cycle will reduce energy use by letting clothes finish drying using the heat trapped in the drying chamber. Compared to a dryer's timed setting, the moisture-sensing setting saves energy because the dryer quits running at the optimal time instead of running the full time selected.
Dry towels, heavy cotton clothes and bedding together, separate from lighter weight clothing. In the winter, humidity provided by drying clothes on drying racks is welcome.
New and Replacement Fireplaces
When building a traditional fireplace, install ducts around it so cool room air is drawn in and circulated around the firebox. Warmed air is ducted back into the room by convection.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress

That very same Man Child, the apple of his Mother's Eye, announced something last week: Dude. Harsh. It's a good thing I started counting my "points" and started watching what I eat. "Watching" is the optimal word here. I haven't actually made any changes this week, I just sort of called this week "Learning What Goes In To My Body" week. Holymotherofperl people.

You know the day I knew I would marry him and you knew the day I peed on a used pregnancy test and called the doctor sobbing because I wasn't ready for another baby. You were with me during the miscarriage and the next pregnancy and celebrated his birth with us. You waited with us while he learned to breath and grow big enough to come home.
