VH1 Metal Evolution
Has anybody been watching this? Thoughts? I haven't been able to see much since I don't have Vh1 Classic and Vh1 won't fucking put it up for free on their website unlike That Metal Show.
I've only seen two episodes, the NWOBHM and Thrash. NWOBHM was interesting since we got the weigh in for how NWOBHM was affected by glam, and to Steve vehemently and repeatedly state that punk didn't affect shit on metal.
The Thrash episode is ok. As I expected it wasn't going to outdo the Get Thrashed DVD, though it makes me want to slap the shit out of Lars Ulrich for his bullshit strawman arguments about "selling out to your fans."
First of all, what the fuck is wrong with catering to what your fans want musically? When did this become a crime that all the Peter Frickes of the world turn their noses up at? Fans are people who only want enjoyment and satisfaction from your music, as opposed to record executives who just want to steal your money? Second of all, the reasons thrashers hate ballads is because it was a Motley Crue move. You know, that band that you and your crony Scott Ian were saying you were so much better than?
And all this whining on how thrash is limiting? THEN BREAK UP YOUR FUCKING BAND. You wanna experiment with new sounds outside of your extreme genre? Then go somewhere else and start up a completely different band with a completely new sound. But you'll use the excuse of "I don't want to limit the boundaries of what artist x" can do, but what you really don't want to do is stop the money train because you can make more money just releasing another album with shit that does not belong in your sound rather than starting a separate project.
I don't care one iota about SOD, but at least Scott Ian had enough integrity to realize he should start a separate band (even though I'd rather Anthrax put out a song like Fuck The Middle East instead of Safe Home)
rant over.
One final thing on the show, I really don't like how Sam is mugging the camera again. I thought he learned his lesson from that on the Iron Maiden and Rush docs but I guess not. Anyways, your thoughts on the show?
You know its true, bunny rabbits we have got lovely little fluffy bottoms. We do. That's why people often mistake us for Danny Devito.

I put together yet another jacket. The sleeves droop off the shoulder even with a 1" shoulder pad.
I cut the sleeves pretty long, so if there is a way to move the sleeve seam up about 1.25" - I think the jacket would be OK.
Is there a good way to do that or should I just start over? I've already serged the collar where it attaches, but the sleeves are set in but not serged. just sewn.....
I don't have a good way of submitting a photo. I'll try, but for now does my question make sense?
I don't know whether you'll be able to cut the armscye in closer (that's what you want to do, right?). DId you try putting the pattern over the piece and see? What I do with RTW blouses whose shoulders are too wide is put in some ruching or vertical tucks/pleats across the shoulder seam to take it in and make it look like a design element. But if your jacket is thick, that might not work either.
I understand you are wanting to move the sleeve cap more toward your shoulder seam, right? I did this on a woman's RTW jacket, and it does work, as long as the sleeve isn't gathered.
Rip out the cap portion down about 3" on either side of the shoulder seam and try tucking the cap into the seam allowance to see how things are going to look. If you have some gathering when you do this, you might want to release more of the sleeve and allow the gathers to fall toward the sleeve seam under the arm.

The shoulder on the jacket is too wide and hangs over my shoulder. I'm trying to shorten the shoulder seam to pull up the sleeve so that the seam where the jacket connects to the sleeve is in the right place. I apparently have narrow shoulders compared to the average person. It's a surprise to me. I'm 5'10+ and have always figured everything on me was bigger or longer than normal.. My legs are longer, my back waist length in 18", my inseam in 35.5, my arms are longer.
But apparently, based on what I've been able to read about shoulders, the average is 5". Mine are 4.25 and 4.5 as measured by a professional a year or so ago.
And I thought making and fitting pants was hard. I thought making a top or jacket would be much easier. Maybe I'm trying too hard to get it just right and that small amount isn't a big deal?
You need to make a muslin and determine where you shoulder point really is. It should be maybe a fingers width past your shoulder bone. The other thing I am feeling reading your post is that you jump into finishing the seam before you try on the jacket. You should be basting and trying on clothing so that you can easily make adjustments as you sew. Fit as you sew is, after fitting the pattern or making a muslin the most important part of sewing. You can't just assume that it's going to fit without alterations. When you buy clothing you try on lots of garments before you find one that fits you well. You can't do that with a pattern so you have to fit as you sew
Unsew the sleeve except the underarm.
Reposition sleeve farther in and pin. That should tell if it will work. It should. I do this for ready to wear.
To see the alteration in flat pattern and on garment in action, check out Lena's post here:
Sleeve and shoulder shortening by Lena
That what exactly what Iwas looking for. I'm going to try it.

And now for my 2¢ worth (no reason for the order):
William. Samson Defeats the Lion. Processing your own colour film, and making your own colour prints—I'm impressed. I don't know anyone that does that. I do know it requires precision. The clarity and brilliance of the gold and the water make the picture. Love the cloud-sky contrast. Ploshchad Revloyutsii. I love it when printers can make rocks and statues glisten. The way you captured the light in this image is gorgeous. I would burn the top right corner just a bit more.
Nige. Queen Charlotte Sound. I've seen colour images that were double-exposed the way you made the print, but I've never seen or heard of doing so with a print. It really adds to the mood of the scene. Well done. I'll have to try that technique. All that's missing is a mythical head or something sticking out of the water!
Shane. Better Days. Your choice of toning suits the title of the print. The image has a wonderful and appealing range of tones. Two questions: (1) Is the sepia toning to completion or partial? and (2) How did you make the black border? I ask the second question because I have a full-frame 35mm negative carrier, but one can't crop the image. However, I have learned of a technique that allows cropping; I just haven't tried it yet.
Andrew K. Jorja. What a difference waiting for the right moment makes. Jorja covering her eyes adds mystery to the image: What is she doing? Thinking? Feeling? If you hadn't told me about the bright sun, I wouldn't have known. The out of focus perimeter really draws my attention to your daughter. Shrine of Remembrance. Great play on round shapes, and whatever Jorja is wearing in her hair mirrors the flame. Glad to hear your dark room is nearly operational.
Mark. M&MTB W1 No. 432 Interior. Fabulous detail and sharpness throughout: that's LF for ya. It is a difficult lighting situation with the windows, but you managed to capture some detail.
Ashley. Posts & Rails. Quite the contrast with Mark's tram shot where everything is in focus. I enjoy a shallow dof shot once in a while. My attention keeps coming back to the lead post and all its detail.
Michael. Portrait. I admire people who are motivated to do photography the old-fashioned way. When I hold your picture in my hands (I used two hands instinctively), I felt like I was viewing a picture my great grandfather might have taken. Outstanding!
Yannick. The Night Gig. I take it that you worked with natural lighting (i.e., no flash) which serves to isolate the subjects. I like how the image is sharp for handheld and pushed 2 stops. From a compositional perspective, I would like to see the guitarist's face. Hidden Away. I like the great range of tones in this picture, but I'm not sure whether the bench or the statue (?) is supposed to be the subject. The shallow dof makes me think the bench is the main subject because I keep coming back to it. Also, I think the image would be better served with a wider view and in landscape orientation.
Andrew. Pinnacles at Cape Woolamai. I know from experience how difficult clouds can be to get just right without showing telltale signs of burning in. With the exception of the upper left corner, your treatment of the clouds really brings out the feeling of an overcast day. Given the title, I wonder if cropping the scene to isolate the pinnacles would increase the viewer's interest in the pinnacles. It would definitely eliminate the light areas on the left. You continue to surprise me with your knowledge of alternative processes. Last time it was the image on linen; this time your developer concoction.
One final, overall comment about the equipment used: glad to see MF and LF being used. I have a "Baby" Bessa 66 (circa 1940) that I use for MF. I'll submit a shot from it sometime.
Well, I'm off to Mexico for a week of sunshine, sandy beaches, and cold beer. By Saturday it will be -20 C here and its 29 C in Mexico I don't think I have to tell you guys what that kind of heat feels like.

I have never bought a guitar. This is mostly because I have never had any money to speak of. However, God has always provided me with an instrument. Recently, I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my left hand and arm when I play my guitar. The action on my Hohner guitar is very high, and although I recently had the truss and bridge adjusted, it has always been difficult to play. My Martin has a very mid-rangy tone and a laminate backing… and neither one plugs in (which is difficult at shows).
Anyhow, I have needed a better guitar for some time but never thought I would be able to afford one. This past week, while practicing with the gals (getting ready for the Tour de Felicite) I was unable to get through my new song "Strange" because of the action on my guitar. SO! How does this end, you ask?
I met a man named Dave, whom I believe I mentioned in another post, who is a wonderful engineer. He mentioned to my friend Preston that God had given him a guitar to give to someone, and Preston mentioned me…. So today Dave came by today with a beautiful Aria guitar with a Spruce top, a Rosewood bridge and a Mahogany back. He asked if I wanted to play it…. AND THEN ASKED IF I WANTED IT!!!
I have no words to express how absolutely overwhelmed I am.
For the past three days I have been staying at Rheanna Downey's in Encinitas getting ready for our tour. We were fortunate enough to get our new three song e.p.s finished this week (thanks to our hero & great friend Preston Parsons, engineer etc.) and will be proceeding with our cd release party this Saturday at Room 5. I haven't played there since the night I won my Martin guitar from Tyrone Wells a few years ago and I am so excited to play there again! We are opening for Krister Axel. Honestly, I didn't know who he was… but when I went to see the new Harry Potter movie the other week, they played one of Krister's songs before the movie! I was still waiting for my friends when it came on so I had no one to nudge, but was still excited.
I am so thrilled to release a new cd, even if it is only three songs. Working with Preston has been wonderful, and the songs sound fantastic. It's only a limited release, but I can't wait! We recorded "Paper Box" and it came out really well.
This has been the most stressful week EVER. Yesterday, Rhe and I had an 18 hour day on minimal sleep. We have been busy making last minute plans and merch for tour. Rhe was gone for the last 6 months in Australia, and I have never planned a tour like this before, so there was a lot of last minute stuff to do. Anyway, I am going to sleep! We are still trying to find a tour van before Saturday. Yikes.
Seahorses are amazing. They're almost like magical creatures. They're like little chameleon horse-faced fish dragon opossums. I fancy them… mostly because male seahorses are the ones that get pregnant…
kool picture i love seahorses!

The "largest lie," wrote historian Howard Zinn who died yesterday at age 87, is that "everything the United States does is to be pardoned because we are engaged in a 'war on terrorism.'"
"This ignores the fact that war is itself terrorism, that the barging into people's homes and taking away family members and subjecting them to torture, that is terrorism, that invading and bombing other countries does not give us more security but less security."
In an article published previously in the Long Term View magazine of the Massachusetts School of Law, Zinn said that in the Fallujah area of Iraq, Knight Ridder reporters found there was no Ba'athist or Sunni conspiracy against the U.S., "only people ready to fight because their relatives had been hurt or killed, or they themselves had been humiliated by home searches and road stops."
Zinn, popularly known as the people's historian, pointed out that the U.S. may have liberated Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein but afterwards it became Iraq's occupier. He noted this is the same fate that befell Cuba after the U.S. liberated it from Spain in 1898. In both nations, the U.S. established military bases and U.S. corporations moved in to profit from the upheaval.
"This explains why the government, not really knowing what weapons Saddam Hussein is hiding, will invade and bomb Iraq, to the horror of most of the world, killing thousands of civilians and soldiers and terrorizing the population," he continued.
The historian pointed out that even if the U.S. experienced few battle casualties in its invasion of Iraq, casualties would mount afterwards in the occupying army from sickness and trauma, which took a high toll both in Viet Nam and after the Gulf War. In the 10 years after the Gulf War, 8,000 veterans died and 200,000 veterans filed complaints about illnesses incurred "from the weapons our government used in the war."
Zinn called on his readers "to engage in whatever nonviolent actions appeal to us. There is no act too small, no act too bold. The history of social change is the history of millions of actions, small and large, coming together at critical points to create a power that governments cannot suppress. We find ourselves today at one of those critical points."
The Massachusetts School of Law at Andover is a non-profit law school purposefully dedicated to the education of students from minority, immigrant, and low-income households who would otherwise not have the opportunity to obtain a legal education. Zinn's article in the Long Term View first appeared in The Progressive magazine.

Kyle Josef Nolan and his parents knew exactly why the 18-year-old Sebastopol man traveled to a retreat center in the Peruvian jungle: to participate in an "ayahuasca ritual," ingesting a psychoactive concoction used by Amazonian people for centuries and popular with westerners, including the musician Sting.
But the 10-day program at the Shimbre Shamanic Center went tragically wrong, and the operator, a shaman named Jose Manuel Pineda Vargas, attempted to cover up Nolan's death and lied to his mother when she first arrived in Peru, according to Sean Nolan of Petaluma, Kyle's father.
Peruvian National Police said they arrested Pineda, 58, who called himself "Master Mancoluto," and two men who allegedly helped bury Nolan's body on the shamanic center's property outside the city of Puerto Maldonado in southeastern Peru near the Bolivian border.
A YouTube video depicts Pineda leading authorities to the spot where Nolan's body was unearthed.
Ingeborg Oswald of Sebastopol, Nolan's mother, and his sister, Marion Nolan, were in Peru Friday waiting to bring Nolan's body home and also obtain official reports on his death, Sean Nolan said.
"This is what he wanted to do," Sean Nolan said. "This was not to be a vacation for him, but rather an experience to further open his mind."
Nolan, a 2011 graduate from Analy High School, had taken a year off from school and worked odd jobs to save money for the trip to Peru and the shamanic retreat, where ayahuasca is the "centerpiece" of a 10-day program, Sean Nolan said.
"It does have inherent risks," he said.
Sean Nolan said he was concerned about his son's use of ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew widely used by indigenous Amazonian people that contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a psychedelic substance that is illegal in the United States.
Nolan said he had researched ayahuasca and found no reports of "bad experiences" with it. He disputed a media report that his son had taken an excessive dose in an Aug. 22 ritual at the shamanic center.

All the small things
More often than not though, that great training block was a bi-product of all of the lessons of the bad ones coming together in perfect harmony. We just don't want to admit that we needed "the bad times." My last training block was one of those infamously bad buildups. I was trying to work on some speedwork, but would run 10 mile tempos at faster paces than I would run 400m repeats on the track. Clearly, something wasn't right.
So this week, just following Houston half-marathon, I took a little break. I spent a week of ZERO running. No hard runs, no easy runs, no tempo runs, none of it! A great piece of advice that my college coach, Al Carius, used to preach came back to me. "Nature energizes us. If you feel tired, go get lost in nature!" I took every opportunity to go into nature this week. I went on hikes in Boulder; I went and hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park...TWICE! It was fantastic, exactly what I needed!
I'm sure that people at work have noticed that I'm a shade peppier and happier this week. I'm sure my roommates notice my extra energy too. The nature excursions are just one item on my list of "small things" that I made on the flight home from Houston that I hope and expect will help me with my next training block. Most of the things are just tweaking details on stuff I'm already doing (core, strides, recovery work, massages, etc.), but some involve incorporating new elements into training too. Only time will tell how the details will work out for me. I'm adding them or tweaking them because the old stuff just wasn't getting my body to respond anymore. Consistency will be key in this build-up for it to be everything I can make it.
Frank Gramarosso, the now-head coach at North Central College, once said when asked about the secret to the team's perennial success, "it's all the small things." I agree. It's all the small things that I now have to start focusing on again. I want more than just a taste of success this year. I want the whole damn cake!

Six up for Wolves
Warrington Wolves have extended the contracts of six young, British players securing home-grown talent for many seasons to come.
Gene Ormsby and Anthony England have agreed contract extensions keeping them at the club until November 2016.
Twins Rhys and Ben Evans, and James Laithwaite have penned new contracts until November 2017. Young forward George King has also agreed a full-time contract with the club until the end of 2016.
The ongoing support from SquadBuilder in developing these young, home-grown players has been invaluable and continues to strengthen the squad from within.
Wolves' head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said on these contract extensions: "All six have shown what capabilities they've got and have been performing consistently well in recent times. We are delighted to be securing their services for an extended period and feel that they will all continue to develop in the manner in which they already have in the time they've been with us. I am delighted for us to be continuing to develop these players, and others, and that we are once again showing stability within the group as that's one of the strengths of our club."
Winger Gene Ormsby, 21, made his Super League debut back in February this year and has cemented his place in the side with 15 appearances to date notching up 11 tries. A Squadbuilder-supported player, Ormsby has progressed through the academy system and on the back of his performances earned his place in the first-team training squad, making his mark this season.
Anthony England, 27, made the step-up from the Championship to Super League in the off-season. Having made the transition to the full-time league he is now finding his feet and having an impact down the middle alongside fellow Championship forward Chris Hill.
Since making the move up from Bridgend, brothers Rhys and Ben Evans have become names within Rugby League, progressing through the academy ranks before breaking into the first team squad. Rhys made his debut back in 2010 but with brother Ben only making his Warrington start this is the first season that we've seen the pair together on the team sheet. At just 21 years old the brothers have also represented Wales at international level most recently as part of the Rugby League World Cup 2013 squad.
James Laithwaite has impressed in the back row since making his first-team debut in March last season. In his first year he made four appearances and has gone on to cement a place in the side during this campaign with 16 appearances to date. He came through the club's academy ranks and was part of the first group of players to be promoted in 2010.
Second rower George King, 19, made his Super League debut against Bradford Bulls at the weekend. He played his amateur rugby at Meltham All Blacks alongside younger brother Toby, and joined the Wolves from Huddersfield Academy ahead of the current season. He was promoted into the first-team training squad earlier this year having immediately impressed within the academy ranks and has now earned a full-time contract.

Judy Batista of the New York Times reports that Judge Susan Nelson has appointed Chief Magistrate Arthur Boylan to handle the mediation between the NFL and NFLPA. The sessions will begin on Thursday.
This can be considered a win for the players. They wanted mediation to be under the umbrella of the court, rather than having a repeat round with George Cohen.
Boylan was appointed Magistrate Judge in 1996. He'll oversee the discussions in his chambers on Thursday. He cannot force the parties to come to an agreement, but he wields considerable power in the proceedings. As legal expert Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk explains, "In the federal system, magistrate judges typically handle discovery disputes and other low-level matters. Thus, the mediation will occur before someone who potentially will have a direct role in the litigation moving forward, which means that any rudeness or misbehavior could, as a practical matter, work against the party who acts up."

Since I now have a down quilt on order, I was wondering how tough it would be to put a headhole in it ala Sierra Sniveler. Any hints or suggestion? I'm picturing myself sitting in the middle of thousands of down clusters lol
A smiley face shape is great because it keeps your head warm as well. No need to make a hole, just a cut and sew.
Do you mean under controlled conditions at home, or accidentally in the middle of the night in the field?:-)Cheers
I've added head holes like the JRB quilts to my last two quilt projects. I'm not sure if the quilt that you ordered is baffled or sewn-thru. It would probably be a lot easier on a sewn-thru quilt. I have been making quilts with 1" to 1 3/4" baffles and adding the head hole to the middle baffle. It wouldn't be too difficult to just push all of the down to one side on your new quilt, then add something like this and sew it back up. Here's a few photos of the process. Good luck!
The quilt I ordered is baffled.Thanks for the pics!

Anger over animal rights ads that attack the practice

A leading animal rights group has been forced to revise a provocative advertising campaign in northeast China following a public outcry.
Since September, Animals Asia has been urging people across the mainland to stop eating cats and dogs by using a head-turning poster series that shows the animals sandwiched between a pair of chopsticks.
The images are accompanied by a simple message: "Be healthy. Say NO to cat and dog meat."
The advertisements caused a considerable stir and the campaign was hailed as a success by the advocacy group after the images went viral.
However, the campaign faced a backlash in northeastern China, where locals defended their right to eat dog and cat meat as one of their traditions.
In Shenyang - where the consumption of dog meat is widespread - posters in the city's metro system had to be revised following complaints from commuters.
"They think we should not put up the advertisements because eating dogs is a so-called 'tradition,'" said Carrot Chen, Animals Asia cat and dog welfare deputy manager. "We want to spread the message that tradition is not an excuse for cruelty."
In the case of one set of posters, locals took exception to the use of the wordbaoan (security guard) to describe guard dogs, saying it was offensive to actual security guards.
"They couldn't find any real reason to complain, so they just used this word as an excuse," said Chen, rejecting the criticism of the campaign.
The consumption of dog meat is still common in parts of China, where some believe it has the power to ward off ghosts and disease. It is also believed by some to boost men's sexual performance and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat male impotence.

Poll: 74% Oppose Bombing Syria, Half Think DC Establishment Wants War More Than Public
Posted By John Glaser On September 10, 2013 @ 10:12 am In News | Comments Disabled
Via Emily Ekins at Reason.com [1], polling shows 74 percent of Americans think bombing Syria would be "unwise" and half of Americans believe the D.C. establishment wants war more than the public.
We've known about the low public support for strikes in Syria form the beginning, but the latest polling in this Reason-Rupe poll, among others, show opposition growing still.
On the second point, it's notable that the public thinks, accurately, that the D.C. establishment typically wants war more than ordinary Americans. As Peggy Noonan wrote in a recent piece [2] at the Wall Street Journal, the debate over war in Syria doesn't look like a fight between Republicans and Democrats, "it looks more like a fight between the country and Washington, between the broad American public and Washington's central governing assumptions."
When The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf kept seeing headlines in the news at the end of August about "growing pressure" for Obama to bomb Syria, he asked [3], "pressure from whom?"
Where is this pressure coming from? Strangely, that question doesn't even occur to a lot of news organizations. Take this CBS story [4]. The very first sentence says, "The Obama administration faced new pressure Thursday to take action on Syria." New pressure from whom? The story proceeds as if it doesn't matter. How can readers judge how much weight the pressure should carry? Pressure from hundreds of thousands of citizens in the streets confers a certain degree of legitimacy. So does pressure from a just-passed House bill urging a certain course of action, or even unanimous pressure from all of the experts on a given subject.
What I'd like is if news accounts on pressure to intervene in Syria made it clear that the "growing calls … for forceful action" aren't coming from the people, or Congressional majorities, or an expert consensus. The pressure is being applied by a tiny, insular elite that mostly lives in Washington, D.C., and isn't bothered by the idea of committing America to military action that most Americans oppose. Nor are they bothered by the president launching a war of choice without Congressional approval, even though Obama declared as a candidate that such a step would be illegal.
The insularity of the DC establishment is important. On the one hand, they are ideologically insular, tending to hear only one set of dominant ideas throughout their careers. But they also have their own interests at stake. The all-too-prevalent revolving door between government, military, policy analyst, academic, media pundit, etc. is an incestuous pool of isolated ideologues who believe themselves truly to be objective.
"Warnings about a dangerous world," writes [5] Micah Zenko in Foreign Affairs, "benefit powerful bureaucratic interests. The specter of looming dangers sustains and justifies the massive budgets of the military and the intelligence agencies, along with the national security infrastructure that exists outside government — defense contractors, lobbying groups, think tanks, and academic departments."

Breaking boundaries behind the wheel
On the second day of competition the Ahoy arena in Rotterdam is buzzing with energy: teams have already gone further than ever before on the track. With 169 cars through technical inspection, the competition is hotting up.
Day 5 Morning: UrbanConcept competition begins
The French are out in front on day two of the three-day competition for energy efficiency at the Ahoy arena in Rotterdam. Firm favourites to win the Prototype petrol category are Team Microjoule-La Joliverie of France. Yesterday afternoon at their first attempt the team set a new track record of 3,191.7 km/l. This is an improvement of 211.4 km/1 on the previous track record, also set by Microjoule.
"The team and car managed a perfect race," says technical manager Mickaël Fardeau. "This afternoon we hope to set a new record in our second run."
Team WESTEAM from I.U.T Brest more than doubled the winning Prototype GTL distance from last year, achieving 680.6 km/l equivalent compared to 314.6 km/l. And that was just their first attempt.
"Our approach is simple," says team lead Andre Mevel. "The car must be light, with low friction and a good engine – of course we also rely on a good driver!"
The UrbanConcept vehicles, which more closely resemble everyday cars, took to the track for competition today. In the UrbanConcept hydrogen category, team La Joliverie Polytech Nantes of France, the sister team to Microjoule-La Joliverie, set a new urban circuit record. They achieved 148.2 km/l equivalent, an improvement of 2.5 km/l equivalent on the previous Rotterdam record.
The magic measuring tent
At 09:00 this morning Mike Evans was directing the UrbanConcept cars into a giant tent behind the start line. Before taking to the track cars must first be rolled to the correct station where technical teams check the levels of petrol or diesel or, for those powered by alternative fuels, that the electronics or hydrogen fuel cell are in good condition.
"We reset the joule meters or check that the cars are filled with fuel," says Mike. "Then we take second readings once the cars come back from the track to calculate how much energy they have used."
A low white car covered in silver blankets slips silently past. Team ProTRON from Germany came second last year in the battery-electric category. They hope to take advantage of today's sunshine to top up their battery by 20% using solar power. For now they are keeping the panels covered while the car is checked: competitors must only expose the panels at the start line and cover them as soon as they finish a circuit so the energy use can be accurately measured.
Mike usually works for Shell on fuel development for F1. For the top teams running on liquid fuels at Shell Eco-marathon – those that achieve over 1,500 km/l equivalent – he uses the same method of fuel measurement as for race cars. The fuel tank, pipe and injector are held in a clamp and weighed on electronic scales.
"This approach takes four times longer than measuring the volume of fuel," says Mike. "But weighing is more accurate: we calculate the result to the nearest 0.015 ml."
Distance isn't everything
For many students the on-track competition is only part of the story. Each year Team AFORP from France runs a special project around the car. Last year they focused on recycling, with a car shell built entirely from recycled drinks cans. This year they educated local primary school children about the project and invited them to draw the car – the children's designs now cover the car's body. Last year the team was nominated for the Shell Eco-marathon off-track Communications award but they didn't complete the official on-track run needed.
"We're crossing our fingers!" says team supervisor Miguel Nieto.

The perfect pyramid: the Matterhorn
This week we climb to the summit of what many consider to be the most beautiful mountain in the world: the Matterhorn. We ascend from the Italian side and descend on the Swiss side, via the Hörnli Ridge. This week we relive the very first ascent of the "perfect mountain".

Right, after several conversations at reunions and much doing of the time warp without music in the middle of the green, it was discovered that a large core of the reunion going CTYIers are Rocky Horror fans. Alas, however, it's too late for use to descend en masse on the Classic Cinema. After much frenzied research (by which I mean half an hour on google) it was discovered that there is a showing of it on May 7th in Belfast
So, is anyone else up for it?

Frugal innovation comes to SCU
The School of Engineering and SCU's Center for Science, Technology, and Society (CSTS) are pairing up on a frugal innovation initiative, Radha Basu, CSTS former managing director, announced. "This could be a real differentiator for the University, providing us with a tremendous opportunity to innovate for social impact," she said.
Frugal innovation addresses the need for products and services in emerging, underdeveloped countries. Ruggedization, simplification, sparing use of low-cost raw materials, an emphasis on earth-friendly practices, and a philosophy that favors "good enough" over "perfection" in creating compassionate, use-centric design are features of frugal innovation.
"What's exciting about this field is that engineering or technology innovation for social benefit might seem like it's something someone does for charity work," said Basu, "but that is not case anymore. In the next few years, emerging markets such as China, Africa, Brazil, and India are expected to account for 70% of the world's economic growth. For the United States to remain competitive, we must provide products and services to the growing masses, and we have to innovate to the needs of the billions of potential consumers at the bottom or middle of the income pyramid. Santa Clara, with its focus on educating for a just world, is the perfect place to locate these efforts."
Serving emerging markets also entails a radical change in business models, distribution and supply chain partnerships and applying mass-production techniques to service industries. Therefore, the initiative includes collaboration with SCU's Leavey School of Business to address these critical needs for emerging markets through what is increasingly known as "lean entrepreneurship."
Basu sees tremendous potential for Silicon Valley growth as companies become target-market focused. This summer, she taught a graduate-level course for the School of Engineering entitled, "Engineering for the Developing World" that was met with great success. "There is a hunger in this Valley for this kind of information," she said.
"The frugal innovation initiative provides a mechanism for faculty and students to apply their intellectual rigor while working on meaningful projects that not only serve the world, but also contribute to the success of our economy here at home," said School of Engineering dean Godfrey Mungal. "In Santa Clara President Michael Engh's inaugural address, he said "SCU is uniquely positioned to make a significant contribution to achieving a more just and sustainable future.' This initiative is a major step in that direction."

|Montreal Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau holds up the Prince of Wales Trophy as a player in 1993, the last time the Habs won the Stanley Cup.
Canadiens-Sabres highlights
Montreal wrapped up the Northeast Division title Tuesday with a 4-0 victory at Ottawa. It's the Habs' first division crown in 15 seasons, since they captured the Adams Division title in 1991-92. That's the longest such drought in franchise history; the Canadiens had never gone more than eight seasons (1919-20 through 1926-27 and 1947-48 through 1954-55) without finishing in first place.
Now the goal is to win the Cup for the first time since 1992-93, a 14-season drought that's an unwanted team record. The longest previous drought was 12 seasons, from 1931-32 through 1942-43
March (and April) of the Penguins -- For the first time since 1994, someone other than the New Jersey Devils or Philadelphia Flyers has won the Atlantic Division. Pittsburgh clinched the Atlantic title for the first time since joining the division in 1998 by beating the Flyers 4-2 on Wednesday night. The New York Rangers won the Atlantic in its first season; the Devils (seven times, including each of the past two seasons) or Flyers (five times, last in 2003-04) have won the title in the other 12 seasons.
It's the sixth division title in Pens' history, but the first since they won the Northeast in 1997-98.
Ownership -- In contrast to Pittsburgh, the Detroit Red Wings practically own the Central Division. The Wings have already clinched their seventh consecutive Central title -- as well as their record-tying eighth consecutive 100-point season.
Detroit is one short of the NHL record for most consecutive times winning the same division -- Montreal finished first in the Norris Division in eight straight seasons, from 1974-75 through 1981-82. Colorado has the record with nine consecutive titles, but the Avalanche did it in three divisions: They won the 1994-95 Northeast title as the Quebec Nordiques, captured three straight Pacific Division crowns after moving to Denver and won the Northwest title for five consecutive seasons, ending in 2002-03.
Detroit has finished first seven times in a row once before: The Wings topped the six-team NHL from 1948-49 through 1954-55 -- the longest streak in the pre-expansion era.
Right place, right time -- One reason for the Wings' success was the March heroics of Johan Franzen, who scored 14 goals last month — more than he had scored from October through February combined. Franzen also broke the team mark for game-winning goals in a month when he got his sixth Sunday -- appropriately, the day the Wings celebrated the 80th birthday of Gordie Howe, who held the Wings' mark of five (along with Henrik Zetterberg).
And then there was one -- Minnesota's Marian Gaborik became the first 40-goal scorer in the franchise's seven-year history when he got the overtime winner in Sunday's 3-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche (He had Nos. 41 and 42 in Thursday's 3-1 win against Minnesota).
That leaves the Nashville Predators as the only one of the 30 franchises that has yet to produce a 40-goal man. The Preds don't even have a 35-goal scorer -- the 31 goals scored by Paul Kariya and Steve Sullivan in 2005-06 is the most by a Nashville player in one season. Only four franchises -- Nashville, Minnesota, Columbus and New Jersey -- have failed to produce a 50-goal scorer.
Gaborik also set a team record that night with his 80th point, one more than Brian Rolston compiled in 2005-06. Minnesota is one of five teams (Columbus, Nashville, Florida and New Jersey are the others) that have yet to produce a 100-point scorer. The lowest team point total for a leading scorer is 76, held by Columbus' Rick Nash.
Seven up -- A big part of the Los Angeles Kings' problems this season have come between the pipes. The Kings have tied an NHL record this season by using seven goaltenders -- Daniel Taylor became No. 7 when he played the third period of last Saturday's 7-2 blowout loss to Dallas. The Kings tied the mark set by the 1989-90 Quebec Nordiques and matched by the 2002-03 St. Louis Blues. No other team in either of the past two seasons has used more than four goalies.
The Kings do stand alone in one other regard: They've used 11 goaltenders in the past two seasons, something no other franchise has ever done. Boston is next in the past two seasons with eight.
|Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin is setting all kinds of offensive records this season.
Ovechkin also has another double going. He's No. 1 in shots on goal with 436 shots, the second-highest total in NHL history, he's tops in shots taken and missed -- he's missed the net 196 times.
In addition, Ovechkin leads the NHL with 11 game-winners among his 65 goals. No. 11 came Thursday night against Tampa Bay and broke a tie with San Jose's Jeremy Roenick, who's had 10 game-winners while scoring just 14 goals.
Goose eggs again -- Calgary's David Hale and the Islanders' Bruno Gervais have a distinction all to themselves: They are the only two players to play more than 50 games in each of the past two seasons without scoring a goal. Hale played 54 games in 2006-07 and 57 this season without scoring, while Gervais played 54 last season and 60 in 2007-08 without turning on the red light.
Gervais, likely out for the season with a concussion, is miles ahead of Hale in points -- he had six assists last season and 13 this season, while Hale had just one in 2006-07 and has matched that total this season.
The top scorer among this season's no-goal men is Carolina defenseman Frantisek Kaberle, who has 22 assists in 79 games. The Islanders' Radek Martinek is next with 14.

The recipe for these beautiful little cakes comes from the ever-reliable Australian Woman's weekly series. Do not use Rhubarb leaves; they are poisonous so chop them off for compost before you continue your preparation; particularly if you have any little helpers in the kitchen with you!
2 tbsp custard powder
55g caster sugar
250ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g self raising flour
75g plain flour
165g caster sugar
100g melted butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
5 large stems rhubarb, finely chopped
1 tbsp demarara sugar
Make the custard by mixing powder and sugar in a small pan, then gradually adding milk. Heat and stir until mixture boils, then add extract and leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180c. Place 12 paper cases in a muffin tin.
Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Mix butter, milk and egg in another bowl then stir in half the rhubarb. Add wet mixture to dry until combined; do not overmix, the mixture should be lumpy.
Divide half the mixture between cases. Top with custard, then divide the remaining mixture over the custard. Sprinkle with remaining rhubarb and demarara sugar.
Bake for around 25 mins. Allow them to stand for 5 mins before lifting carefully onto a wire rack. Serve lightly dusted with icing sugar.

Tasmania Holidays
With landscapes ranging from million-year-old rainforest and glacial mountains to dramatic, cliffs and golden-sand beaches it's no wonder Tasmania holidays are firm favourites with nature lovers. But there's much more to the place – Hobart and Launceston are packed with historic sights and world-class dining, the Tamar Valley hides away charming family-run wineries and there are fly-fishing, kayaking and golfing excursions that match anything the mainland has to offer.
Things to do
Most of Tasmania's attractions revolve around the island's phenomenal natural beauty. Whether it is walking in the glaciated landscapes of Cable Mountain, exploring the history of idyllic Bruny Island or witnessing the eerie sandstone ruins of Port Arthur penitentiary trekkers find amazing sights around every corner. Cruising on the Tasman Sea brings elegant albatrosses, playful seals and rarely seen whales to your doorstep and if all this sightseeing is working up an appetite bustling Hobart is turning in one of Australia's best restaurant destinations.
Food & restaurants
Tasmania has recently catapulted onto Australia's dining scene, with top chefs setting up shop in Hobart and Launceston. With an abundance of fresh produce and locally produced wine, restaurants in Tasmania such as Hobart's Flathead, a tiny eatery, serves up the best seafood in the state, all washed down with sundowners at Salamanca Square's Bar Celona. In Cambridge, Tasmania's world-famous oysters are at their best at Barilla Bay while Launceston's Blue plays chilled tunes to trendy clientele enjoying bistro meals and generous brunches.
From five-star luxury to budget hotels, B&Bs to 'eco-lodges', Tasmania's accommodation options means there should be a perfect room for every visitor. Tasmania has a fantastic range of camping options, ranging from fully facilitated holiday parks to bush camps. For more upmarket options, Hobart's Henry Jones Art Hotel is a renovated 19th century warehouse on the waterfront with immaculate rooms and artwork to match. Visitors can witness Tasmania's convict history by staying in an old prison in Bicheno Gaol Cottages while Launceston's Heatherly House combines1830s colonial English charm with a just a hint of the Orient provided by the foreign artefacts and trinkets adorning every room.
Tasmanian wool is known the world over so few visitors go home without picking up some kind of artisan knitwear. Souvenirs here tend to be hand-made too - Salamanca Market in Hobart has a convivial atmosphere, with stalls selling arts, crafts, trinkets and food to locals. Another must-see place is Reliquaire in Latrobe, a treasure trove of trinkets and toys adorning creaking shelves.
Local Flavours
Visitors travelling to Tasmania during March and April should check out Tasmania's biggest event; the biennial Ten Days of the Island Festival, where theatrical companies, musicians, artists, dancers and performers host a programme of events around the island to celebrate its people, history, culture and nature.

At this point I would like to suggest that you give a shot to reading the life cycle part of the EJB specification. It will give you the concepts that you seem to be looking for.
In the meantime, here is a short answer: they cater to two different needs. Home is for the construction of the object, while the second exposes the functionality of the object. Similar to the Factory / Object paradigm in COM, or the many other Object component models.

Combating Sexual Assault in the United States Military
Sexual assault is a pervasive problem in the United States. One in five women report having been raped in their lifetimes, and many experience ongoing physical and emotional trauma related to this crime. The Obama Administration has taken on this serious issue, and has announced new initiatives across the federal government to respond to and prevent sexual assault. Nowhere is our responsibility greater than in the military. Women and men who step forward to serve our country must be protected from this devastating crime, and offenders must be held appropriately accountable. Secretary Panetta has said loud and clear that sexual assault has no place in the United States military. Together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dempsey, the Secretary is taking important steps toward achieving this vision. On April 20, Secretary Panetta issued a directive that will require certain sexual assault complaints to be elevated to more senior levels of command. This significant change means that more experienced commanders will be making the initial disposition decisions for these cases. Specifically, the officers handling these cases will be at least in the grade of 0-6, meaning at least a colonel in the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force; a captain in the Navy, and must possess at least special court martial convening authority. This new policy underscores the gravity of these crimes and may give victims greater confidence to come forward. read more

Article Summary:
In this article, we first examine the performance and safety of three common alcohols as stove fuels, then we look at the effect of blending them together to see if any benefit can be obtained that way. In Part Two of this series, we will look at the effect of adding water to a single alcohol as far as efficiency and fuel consumption is concerned.
The three common alcohols that can be used as fuel in our backpacking stoves are methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. 'Denatured alcohol' can be a mixture of some or all of these alcohols, plus other strange additives, while 'methylated spirits' has a known composition of 95% ethanol.
We will show that the performance of a particular alcohol stove fuel is generally related to the amount of heating energy in that fuel. We will also show that there are other very significant factors to be consider beyond the theoretical energy content, like health and safety. After that, we will show what happens when you blend different alcohols together. Finally, we make some recommendations.
Tony Beasley is responsible for the experimental work in this series. Roger Caffin is responsible for the writing.
