Anthony Frank "Tony" Iommi (born 19 February 1948) is an English guitarist, songwriter and producer. Best known as lead guitarist and founding member of the pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath, he has been the band's sole continual member and primary composer.
While working in a factory as a teenager, Iommi lost the tips of two of his fingers in an accident, an event which crucially affected his playing style. Iommi briefly left Black Sabbath (then known as 'Earth') in 1968 to join Jethro Tull, after which he returned to Black Sabbath. In 2000, he released his first solo album Iommi, followed by 2005's Fused, which featured his former bandmate Glenn Hughes. After releasing Fused, he joined Heaven & Hell, which disbanded after Ronnie James Dio's death in 2010.
Iommi is widely considered one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time. A prolific riff-maker, he was ranked number 25 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
In 2011, he published his autobiography, entitled Iron Man: My Journey through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath.
Early Life
Anthony Frank Iommi was born in Birmingham, the only child of Anthony Frank and Sylvia Maria Iommi (née Velenti). His mother's family were vineyard owners in Italy. The family were Catholic but rarely attended mass. The family home in the Park Lane area of Aston also housed a shop which was a popular meeting place in the neighbourhood. The family living room doubled as the shop's stockroom. His mother ran the shop while his father was a carpenter by trade. Born and raised in Handsworth, Birmingham, he attended Birchfield Road School, where future bandmate Ozzy Osbourne was also a student one year behind him. At age 8 or 9, Iommi fell and badly cut his upper lip as another boy chased him. As a result he gained the nickname "Scarface" which caused him to become self-conscious of the scar, and he eventually grew his trademark mustache as a means of covering it.
At approximately age ten he began working out and learned judo, karate, and later boxing as a means of protecting himself from the local gangs who congregated in his neighbourhood. He became so good at boxing that he envisioned a future as a bouncer in a nightclub, thus avoiding a career in a boring factory job. Iommi initially wanted to play the drums, but due to the excessive noise they produce he chose the guitar instead as a teenager, after being inspired by the likes of Hank Marvin and The Shadows. He has always played guitar left-handed. After completing school, Iommi worked briefly as a plumber and later in a factory manufacturing rings. He states that at one point he worked in a music store but quit after being falsely accused of stealing.
In an industrial accident at the age of 17 on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring finger of his right hand. After the injury Iommi considered abandoning the guitar entirely. However, his factory foreman played him a recording of famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, which encouraged him to continue as a musician. As Iommi would later write:
My friend said, "Listen to this guy play," and I went, "No way! Listening to someone play the guitar is the very last thing I want to do right now!" But he kept insisting and he ended up playing the record for me. I told him I thought it was really good and then he said, "You know, the guy's only playing with two fingers on his fretboard hand because of an injury he sustained in a terrible fire." I was totally knocked back by this revelation and was so impressed by what I had just heard that I suddenly became inspired to start trying to play again.
Inspired by Reinhardt's two-fingered guitar playing, Iommi decided to try playing guitar again, though the injury made it quite painful to do so. Although it was an option, Iommi never seriously considered switching hands and learning to play right-handed. In an interview with Guitar World magazine, he was asked if he was "ever tempted to switch to right-handed playing." Iommi responded:
If I knew what I know now I probably would have switched. At the time I had already been playing two or three years, and it seemed like I had been playing a long time. I thought I'd never be able to change the way I played. The reality of the situation was that I hadn't been playing very long at all, and I probably could have spent the same amount of time learning to play right handed. I did have a go at it, but I just didn't have the patience. It seemed impossible to me. I decided to make do with what I had, and I made some plastic fingertips for myself. I just persevered with it.
In his autobiography, he writes:
Probably the easiest thing would have been to flip the guitar upside down and learn to play right-handed instead of left-handed. I wish I had in hindsight, but I thought, well, I've been playing for a few years already, it's going to take me another few years to learn it that way. That seemed like a very long time, so I was determined to keep playing left-handed.
In any case, he decided to continue playing left-handed. To do so, he fitted homemade thimbles made from melted-down plastic bottles to his injured fingers to extend and protect them, which created two technical problems. Firstly, the thimbles prevented him from feeling the strings, causing a tendency to press down very hard with them. Secondly, he had difficulty bending strings, leading him to seek light-gauge guitar strings to make it easier to do so. However, Iommi recalls that such strings were not manufactured at the time, so he used banjo strings instead, until around 1970–71 when Picato Strings began making light-gauge guitar strings. Furthermore, he used the injured fingers predominantly for fretting chords rather than single-note solos. In 1974, Iommi told Guitar Player magazine that the thimbles "helped (him) with his technique" because he had to use his pinky finger more than he had to before the accident. Later, he also began tuning his guitar strings to lower pitches, sometimes as far as three semitones below standard guitar tuning (e.g., on "Children of the Grave," "Lord of this World," and "Into the Void," all on Master of Reality). Although Iommi states that the main purpose of doing so was to create a "bigger, heavier sound," slackening the strings makes it easier to bend them.
Musical Career
Pre-Black Sabbath
Iommi had played in several blues/rock bands, the earliest of which was the Rockin' Chevrolets from 1964 to 1965. The band had regular bookings and when they were offered work in Germany, Iommi decided to leave his factory job to take up the opportunity. From 1966 to 1967 Iommi played in a band named The Rest. It was in The Rest that Iommi first met future-Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, who performed drums and vocals in the band.
From January 1968 until July 1968 Iommi was guitarist in Mythology, with Ward joining a month later in mid-February. In May 1968 police raided the group's practice flat and found cannabis resin, which resulted in fines for the band members. Most significantly, the incident made it quite difficult for the band to secure future bookings as most club owners avoided bands they viewed as drug users. Mythology subsequently split up after a gig in Silloth on 13 July 1968.
In August 1968 at the same time as the break-up of Mythology, another Birmingham band called Rare Breed also broke up. Rare Breed vocalist John "Ozzy" Osbourne joined with Iommi and Ward after the duo responded to an advert in a local music shop proclaiming "Ozzy Zig Needs Gig – has own PA". Requiring a bassist, Osbourne mentioned his former Rare Breed bandmate Geezer Butler, who was subsequently hired along with slide guitarist Jimmy Phillips and saxophonist Alan "Aker" Clarke. The six-piece band were named the Polka Tulk Blues Band. After just two gigs (the last of which was at the Banklands Youth Club in Workington), Phillips and Clarke were dismissed from the band, which soon after shortened its name to Polka Tulk.
Earth and Jethro Tull
Iommi, Butler, Ward and Osbourne renamed the band Earth in September 1968. They carried on under this moniker until December 1968 when Iommi briefly departed to join Jethro Tull. However after only one performance (an appearance on "The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus" in which the band mimed "A Song for Jeffrey", which Ian Anderson sang live), Iommi was back with Earth once more.
Iommi on his brief working relationship with Jethro Tull vocalist Ian Anderson:
I learned quite a lot from him, I must say. I learned that you have got to work at it. You have to rehearse. When I came back and I got the band (Earth) back together, I made sure that everybody was up early in the morning and rehearsing. I used to go and pick them up. I was the only one at the time that could drive. I used to have to drive the bloody van and get them up at quarter to nine every morning; which was, believe me, early for us then. I said to them, "This is how we have got to do it because this is how Jethro Tull did it." They had a schedule and they knew that they were going to work from this time till that time. I tried that with our band and we got into doing it. It worked. Instead of just strolling in at any hour, it made it more like we were saying, "Let's do it!"
Black Sabbath
In August 1969, after being confused with another group named Earth (who had minor success in England), the group renamed themselves Black Sabbath. His aforementioned factory accident affected the Black Sabbath sound later on, as by 1970 Iommi had detuned his guitar from E to E♭ (a minor second down), and from 1971's Master of Reality album, had detuned it further to D♭ (a minor third down), to ease the tension on his fingers. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler did the same to match Iommi. Sabbath were among the first bands to detune, and the technique became a mainstay of heavy metal music. Iommi combined blues-like guitar solos and dark, minor-key riffing with a revolutionary high-gain, heavily distorted tone with his use of a modified treble-boosting effect-pedal and a Gibson SG.
By the 1970s, incessant drug usage, managerial problems and constant touring had taken its toll on the band and Ozzy Osbourne was fired in 1979. Osbourne was replaced with Ronnie James Dio, the former vocalist for Rainbow. With Dio, Black Sabbath produced Heaven and Hell, prior to replacing Bill Ward with Vinny Appice. With Iommi and Geezer Butler the only original members, this line-up produced Mob Rules. During the '80s and '90s Iommi rebuilt the band with many line-up changes with vocalists including Ian Gillan (formerly of Deep Purple), Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin and Ray Gillen. After Ian Gillan departed the band in 1984 Iommi recorded his first solo album, entitled Seventh Star. The album featured Glenn Hughes (formerly of Deep Purple) on vocals, but due to label pressures, it was billed as a release by "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi."
In 1992 Iommi appeared at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, playing four songs with the remaining members of Queen and other guest artists. In the following year Iommi teamed up with fellow Black Country band Diamond Head and co-wrote the song "Starcrossed (Lovers in the Night)" for their 1993 Death and Progress album. At Ozzy's "farewell" concert at Costa Mesa in 1992, Dio refused to perform and abruptly left the band. As a result Rob Halford was recruited to perform as the vocalist for two gigs (Halford also sang at one of the dates on the 2004 Ozzfest tour, when Ozzy couldn't perform due to bronchitis). Following Osbourne's solo set, the show concluded with Ozzy bringing out the other members of the original Black Sabbath line-up for a 4-song reunion.
Black Sabbath went on to record two further albums with Tony Martin before the original line-up reunited as a touring band in 1997. While Bill Ward played at the two initial reunion shows at Birmingham NEC in December 1997, he was not present for the following two reunion tours, his second absence due to a heart attack. Ward was replaced by Mike Bordin and then Vinny Appice.
On 11 November 2011, the original band members announced that they were reuniting and recording a new album. The new album, 13, was released in June 2013.
Solo career
In 2000, Iommi released his first proper solo album, titled Iommi. The album featured several guest vocalists including Ian Astbury, Skin, Henry Rollins, Serj Tankian, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan, Phil Anselmo, Peter Steele and Ozzy Osbourne. In late 2004 Iommi's second solo album was released, entitled The 1996 DEP Sessions. This album was originally recorded in 1996 but was never officially released. However, a copy with a drum track by Dave Holland was available as a bootleg called Eighth Star. Glenn Hughes performed vocals on the album and he furthered his collaboration with Hughes with the release of his third solo album, Fused. Released on 12 July 2005, John Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff completed the trio on the album.
Iommi has signed with Mike Fleiss's movie production company Next Films to score a series of horror films entitled Black Sabbath.
Since 1989 Tony Iommi was involved in the Rock Aid Armenia project. In October 2009 Iommi and his colleague Ian Gillan were awarded the Orders of Honor – Armenia's highest order, which were delivered to them by the Prime Minister of Armenia for their help after the Spitak earthquake. They formed the supergroup WhoCares and recorded a single called "Out of my Mind", which was released 6 May 2011 for the benefit of the music school to be built in Gyumri, Armenia. In January 2012, when Iommi was announced to have early-stage lymphoma, Armenian Prime Minister sent a letter of support: "We know your spirit is strong as ever, and we do believe the genius of your inspiration that guides you through the work on the new Black Sabbath album will transform into a boost of strength and energy that you need now, when things look tough".
Heaven & Hell
In October 2006 it was reported that Iommi would tour with Ronnie James Dio, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward again, but under the moniker Heaven & Hell. Later it was announced that Ward had decided not to participate and Vinny Appice was hired as his replacement. Rhino Records released "The Dio Years" (under the 'Black Sabbath' moniker) album on 3 April 2007. The album showcased older tracks with Dio and also included three brand new songs recorded with Dio and Appice.
The band started an American tour in April 2007 with Megadeth and Down as opening acts. The tour finished in November in England with the prospect of an album to follow in 2008. During this period the band's show at the New York Radio City Music Hall was released as both a live DVD and CD with a vinyl release in the UK in 2008. During the summer of 2008 the band embarked on the Metal Masters Tour along with Judas Priest, Motörhead and Testament. The band's first and only studio album, The Devil You Know, was released on 28 April 2009.
In November 2008 Iommi had a star revealed on the Birmingham Walk of Stars. Dio passed away due to stomach cancer in May 2010 and on 14 June 2010, Iommi announced that Heaven & Hell would perform a one-off tribute to Ronnie James Dio at the High Voltage Festival, London on 24 July 2010. This was the band's last performance under the name.
Eurovision Song Contest
Iommi wrote the song "Lonely Planet" which was sung by Gor Sujyan for Armenia in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.
Personal Life
Iommi purchased his first house in Stafford, England, in 1972. He also purchased the property next door for his parents. Iommi has been married four times.
- In the early 1970s Iommi married Susan Snowden, who was related to British Royal photographer Lord Snowdon. Iommi was introduced to Snowden by Black Sabbath's then-manager Patrick Meehan. The song "Fluff", an Iommi instrumental composition later released on the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album, was played as Snowden walked down the aisle. Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham served as Iommi's best man for the ceremony. This marriage lasted for some eight years, and Iommi said in a 1991 Guitar World interview that the troubled recording and mixing of Black Sabbath's 1976 album Technical Ecstasy caused the end of his marriage.
- Iommi married an American model named Melinda in 1980. They had a daughter, Toni-Marie Iommi, in 1983, who was the vocalist for the now-defunct band LunarMile. Iommi divorced Melinda in the mid-1980s. When Toni-Marie was 12 years old, Iommi won custody of her after she was placed in foster care. Toni-Marie has described her early childhood with a mentally unbalanced mother as difficult but says that her father finally "saved her". She has stated that with her father she was able to regain her trust in other people. Mikko "Linde" Lindström, guitarist with Finnish band HIM became engaged to Toni-Marie in August 2010.
- In 1986-7 Iommi met an Englishwoman named Valery, and after a six-year relationship they married. She had a son from a previous relationship named Jay. They divorced in the late 90s. Iommi confirmed in the same Guitar World interview referenced above (a co-interview with Metallica's James Hetfield) that he has a son. He told Hetfield regarding the band's so-called "Black Album," that "my son gave me a copy of your latest album..."
- In 2005, Iommi married Maria Sjöholm, formerly vocalist for Swedish heavy metal band Drain STH. They met around 1998, when Tony was working on music for Drain STH. After a year of talking on the phone, in 1999, Maria relocated to England and moved into Tony's home. On 19 August 2005, without telling anyone, Maria and Tony were wed at the Sunset Marquis hotel, with only one witness present. On page 312 of his book, Tony calls the low-key wedding the "Best thing I ever did!"
During the mid-1980s Iommi was briefly engaged to rock musician Lita Ford. He co-produced her album The Bride Wore Black, which to date remains unreleased. Ford said in a 1989 Kerrang! interview that "there's a certain amount of bad blood between Tony and I" due to her breaking off the engagement.
On 19 November 2013, Iommi received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts degree from Coventry University. The honorary degree came "in recognition of his contribution to the world of popular music", and recognised "his role as one of the founding fathers of heavy metal music and his status as one of the industry's most influential figures", the university said.
In early 2012, Iommi was diagnosed with early stages of lymphoma, for which he has undergone successful treatment as of January 2013. Black Sabbath's 2013 tour dates have been arranged so that Iommi is free to return to the UK once every six weeks to have an antibody administered.
On Friday, 3 January 2014 in a New Year message, Iommi announced that he will be finishing his regular treatment sometime in the year.
Legacy And Influence
Tony Iommi is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. In 2005, Metal Hammer magazine ranked him number 1 on the poll of the "Riff Lords", praising his "highly distinctive style of fretsmanship that's economical yet crushingly effective". In 2007, Classic Rock magazine ranked him number 6 on their list of the "100 Wildest Guitar Heroes". In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 25 in their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". Joel McIver ranked him the 6th greatest metal guitarist of all time. In 2012, readers of Guitar World ranked Iommi the 7th-greatest rock guitarist of all time. Editors of the same magazine ranked him the greatest heavy metal guitarist of all time.
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull has said: "Tony managed to turn his physical impairment around into something that makes him one of the guitar legends – if not for his dexterity of playing but at least for the fact that his contribution to rock music is a unique one". Gene Simmons of Kiss regards him as "the man who came up with the riffs that launched an army of guitar players" and Ronnie James Dio as "the ultimate riff master".
Furthermore, Iommi is recognised by many as the main creator of heavy metal music. Brian May of Queen considers him "the true father of heavy metal", Eddie Van Halen states that "without Tony, heavy metal wouldn't exist. He is the creator of heavy!" and James Hetfield of Metallica, who was profoundly influenced by Iommi, defines him "The king of the heavy riff". Rob Halford, vocalist for Judas Priest, when filling in for Ozzy Osbourne during an August 2004 concert in Philadelphia, introduced Iommi to the audience as "The man who invented the heavy metal riff". Michael Amott of Carcass and Arch Enemy considers Iommi his "guitar hero" and the world's greatest guitarist "because he invented the heavy tone and evil riff". According to Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe, "Iommi is the reason heavy metal exists".
He has been credited as the forerunner of other styles: Martin Popoff defines him "the godfather of stoner rock"; Jeff Kitts and Brad Tolinski of Guitar World assert that "grunge, goth, thrash, industrial, death, doom... whatever. None of it would exist without Tony Iommi". According to the Hawaii Public Radio: "it is hard to imagine Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains without Black Sabbath, and without Tony Iommi. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and essentially every metal band can be traced to the musical framework found in Iommi compositions". Many notable musicians count Iommi as a major influence on their own playing; some of them include Jeff Hanneman (Slayer), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), Slash (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), and Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age). Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains was strongly influenced by Iommi's dark bendings, which he uses often. Andy LaRocque of King Diamond said that the clean guitar part of "Sleepless Nights" from the Conspiracy album is inspired by Iommi's playing on Never Say Die!.
Iommi's deep and heavy sound was partly born out of necessity—his "revolutionary signature sound" being the result of the accident and the subsequent downtuning by three semitones. He said that his "extreme volume" was likewise necessary, "because we were fed up with people talking over us while we were playing."
- Jaydee Custom SGs
Built in Birmingham by luthier John Diggins sometime between 1975 and 1978, the guitar was first used for overdubs on the 'Heaven and Hell' album and later became one of Iommi's main guitars. The guitar is equipped with a 24 fret neck with custom cross inlays, four control knobs (three of which are functional), a disconnected second output jack, a hole for a master volume knob on the pick guard covered up with a black stopper and a highly distressed finish. He had two more built for him. One was made to the same specifications of his first Jaydee SG with a red finish. Another one was made and used during the Born Again era, which can be seen on the music videos for "Trashed" and "Zero the Hero." The differences are the finish, headstock, use of a stoptail bridge, and use of rail humbuckers, as opposed to the 18-pole humbuckers on his two other versions.
- Gibson SG, aka "Monkey"
A 1965 Gibson SG Special in red finish fitted with a Gibson P-90 pick-up in the bridge position and a custom-wound John Birch Simplux, a P-90 style single coil in the neck position. The guitar became Iommi's main instrument after his white Stratocaster's neck pick-up failed during the recording of Black Sabbath's self-titled album.
- Gibson Custom Shop SG
The guitar was built by the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville after Iommi's specifications and finished in 1997. The guitar is one of two made as prototypes for the Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition Iommi Special SG. The guitar features a neck with 24 frets and four control knobs, of which only two are active (much like his old Jaydee Custom guitar).
On 11 August 2010, Iommi announced on his website that this guitar was stolen from the RJD tribute show that Heaven & Hell performed at High Voltage on 24 July 2010. He is asking that anyone with information or leads let them know. He is offering a reward for its safe return.
- Epiphone P94 Iommi SG
A stock Epiphone SG signature model in black finish fitted with P-94 pick-ups which is a version of the Gibson P-90 pick-up designed to fit into existing humbucker housings.
- Gibson SG Standard
A regular left-handed version of the SG fitted with two extra frets to give Iommi the full two octaves which he prefers. The guitar is equipped with his signature pick-up. Iommi was the first guitarist to have a signature pick-up designed and built by Gibson. He also has another model fitted with a Floyd Rose floating tremolo.
- Fender Stratocaster
Iommi played a Fender Stratocaster that was spraypainted white by Iommi and his father during the early days with Black Sabbath. However, the pick-up malfunctioned during the recording of their first album so Iommi quickly turned to his backup Gibson SG to finish the record. Currently Iommi owns two Stratocasters, one of which has been modified with his signature pick-up in the bridge position.
- BC Rich Ironbird
Custom built for Iommi by BC Rich. Features include Dimarzio pick-ups, two built-in preamps, scalloped fretboard and Iommi's trademark cross inlays. This guitar can be seen in Tony's Star Licks Video, for Star Licks Productions along with a left handed BC Rich mockingbird.
- Gibson Barney Kessel
A rare left-handed version of the jazz guitarist Barney Kessel artist model, built sometime in the first half of the 1960s.
- Epiphone Riviera 12 string
Originally a regular right-handed version in red finish that was converted by Epiphone to a left-handed version to fit Iommi.

Almost 4 years ago now, I met AJ Fitzhenry for the first time outside a local coffee shop in Lafayette, La. He saw my Ironman tattoo (thought I'd only do one back in 1995 so I got a tattoo) and asked me If I did triathlons. The rest is history!
From this point on AJ has been one of the hardest working clients I've ever had the pleasure to work with.
As I do with all my clients, I informed AJ that road he was about to embark on, was not an easy one and that it would take discipline and sacrifice to accomplish the lofty goals he had set for himself. (Especially since he was on the road 330 days plus each year for his job) I also told him that it would take 3 years for him to achieve his goal race weight (he was 35 lbs of muscle over ideal endurance race weight at 5% body fat) along with everything he had set forth for himself.
Since this time, AJ has done everything that I'd asked of him and not once even during the holidays has he ever asked for a day off regardless of his outside training responsibilities or commitments. If he had to be at work by 7 a.m., and his training dictated 3 hours of training beforehand, then he'd get up at whatever time he needed to in order to get that days training accomplished.
It's this steadfast determination that has delivered him a 75th overall placing at Ironman Wisconsin this year (3:25 run split) and a 4:24 at the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in Florida last week.
Great job thus far AJ, you are a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us. But for now, it's back in the weight room to move some heavy weights…..
In Strength,

bargn$hopa Local Star 224 reviewsVery rare I go here, however each time the food has been good, however in my opinion over priced for the portions that you do get. It is a buzzing place and if you plan to go on a weekend, it will be packed. So plan your visit.
martini182 17 reviews5 stars! I live in the Sutherland Shire and I come to this place for the steak. Would recommend it to anyone. Since my last review I have been there about 4 times and it is amazing! Hurry up and get to the coffee club in penrith for their sirloin steak! Unreal!!!
martini182 17 reviewsAmazing sirloin steak! Taren Point Hotel was a favorite place to get the best steak but the coffee club has taken the title!
80c extra for Soy Milk, come on they buy the carton probably less than that amount. I am sick and completely over places stinging customers for something that it pretty much mainstream these days. Shame on you - yet another place on the banned list. And oh the temperature of my coffee is MY CHOICE not your coffee makers. If I ask for it hot I want it hot - not to your OHS regulations.

With the current rules for Q3 it's set that the drivers with equal effort in Q3 (e.g. join track but no timed lap) will be sorted by their starting number. Okay....
When Q3 began, Nico was immediately out on track with hard tyres and not completing a timed lap, which was just to put him in front of anybody else with same or less effort (= Schumacher and the 2 Force India).
So, Schumacher could just have done the same and would - whoops - be in front of Rosberg (because the lower starting number).
Why he didnt do it? (..and I think that happened once before too)
I think that perfectly proves the point of what he said in interview earlier (and what was taken as excuse by his haters):
He simply doesnt care, whether Rosberg is in front in qualifying (this year).

Good neighborhoods for shopping, Lisbon
15 Reviews
15 Reviews
Walking Toward the Metro from Mercado Alvalade we found this unique neighborhood coffee shop. They have one of the oldest coffee grinding machines that should be on the Antique Road Show. The owners speak a little English and will understand you when you tell them what kind of grind you want.
Not only are the goods available unique but the whole place takes you back in time... Have your camera ready.
What to buy: We bought some tea and some coffee.
What to pay: Local prices, this is a neighborhood shop far enough from tourist areas.
The Baixa area between Praça do Comércio and Rossio has a wealth of shops.
This part of Lissabon that completely was rebuild after the Great Earthquake is ideal for shopping as this is one of the rare flat parts of town.
If when in Lisbon on a very tight schedule and finding you need to do some necessary shopping especially for take home presents, and to do and purchase everything at one convenient location, there's a perfect solution to all this from one perfect square - the Rossio.
The Rossio or by its historical name the Praca Dom Pedro IV as is mostly known only to the locals, is Lisbon's grandest square and the most centrally located hemmed in gorgeously by 18th century Pombaline-style buildings which houses every possible business establishment and merchants selling from food, shoes and all kinds of leather goods, carpets, ceramics, first aid and sundries, tee-shirts, wines, jewelry, couture fashion, to books and money-exchange and much much more...making this plaza the city's liveliest and very much the focus of constantly changing outdoor cultural offerings.
So here you can dash to when in great hurry precisely to look for all the items in your list sold within one central place. All the stores surround and then branch out strategically from the square with two massive fountains on both ends and in the middle a towering column supporting a life-size statue of Dom Pedro IV. But the king's statue itself is an impostor one, a recast adaptation from the original which was actually that of Emperor Maximilliam of Mexico. The statue which happened to be on a ship docked in Lisbon bound for Mexico ended up staying and bargained for when the news was received of Maximillian's assasination. It's not so important a fact now but one that is rather humorous in its historical context.
This handsome square with its typically-Portuguese tiled pavement designed with wave-like pattern single-cobbled stones was created forming a masterful conduit of grid-like streets, the first of its kind in Europe by that master Lisbon rebuilder the Marquis of Pombal who masterminded the resurrection of Central Lisbon from its devastation of that 1755 colossal earthquake.
Prior to the great earthquake, during the city's much earlier period, the Rossio where an Inquisitional Palace once stood was the scene of infamous violent events such as riots, public hangings, auto da fes and open bullfights. Nowadays, among flowering jacarandas, you hear nothing but the constant hum of traffic and the rush of crowd angling for a best seat at the square's many charming outdoor restaurants and cafes. As far as ideal cafes go, don't miss the best two on the opposite sides of the square: Cafe Suica and Cafe Nicola. Both exudes with great views of the open city.
Chiado is the best shopping neighborhood. It is right next to Baixa/downtown, and leads up to the Bairro Alto quarter. Here is a mall called Armazens do Chiado and several well-known international names like H&M, Zara, and Foot Locker along with the more luxurious shops like Cartier, Hermes,and the Portuguese fine porcelain shop, Vista Alegre. Also take a look at the shop of Ana Salazar, one of Portugal's top designers, and the turn-of-the-century hole-in-the-wall Luvaria Ulisses, guaranteed one of the most charming shops you'll see in the world.
On this picture is an old car that plays Fado as people go from store to store, making it even more pleasant to walk these streets.
What to buy: There are several bookshops in Chiado, many of them with a good selection of English-language books. The best is the old Bertrand, good for books about Lisbon and Portugal in general.
What to pay: Although Lisbon is not as inexpensive as it used to be, you can still find many bargains, and everything still tends to be much cheaper than in other European capitals.
The Chiado neigbourhood has always been a preferred location for shopping as there are many nice shops all over the place.
Some years ago, shopping centers started to appear all over the country and smaller shops started having trouble surviving. That, added to the big 1988 fire that destroyed good part of the neighbourhood, has rendered life difficult for local shops.
You can still find some very nice shops here, like bookshops for instance. On top of that, you don't get that "artificial" feeling of the shopping centers, although some people will definetly prefer the convenience of having everything they need in one place.
As a tourist and while in Lisbon, I recommend going to Chiado for your shopping needs. There is also the "Armaz?ns do Chiado" shopping center if you really must :)
There are some larger shopping complexes in Lisbon but our favourite was the Baixa area. There were lots of local shops and smaller boutiques which made a pleasant change from the sterile atmosphere of most shopping malls. Browsing round the local delis and Port shops was an amazing experience. Down near the seafront there are also rows of shops selling dried codfish, smelly but fascinating nonetheless. So go on give it a go, even if you don't buy anything it's a great way to spend a few hours.
What to buy: Port - you can buy Port dating back almost to the turn of the century - a unique present for anyone with a special birthday coming up (hint hint !!)
Lace & Leather - not necessarily together but there are alot of shops selling this kind of stuff
Dried Cod - You might not want to pop some of this in your suitcase but it's worth a look
There are various pedestrian-only thoroughfares in Baixa that have a variety of shops generally catering to selling a specific item. You can find shops that sell only shoes, watches, jewelry, etc. as well as many restaurants and cafes. Although most of them cater to tourists, you'll commonly find locals on their work breaks hanging out in the streets to have a coffee and a snack.
What to buy: anything
What to pay: average
You can buy everything and anything in Chiado. This is the neighborhood just between Baixa and Bairro Alto. This cultural neighborhood is brimming with cafes, museums, bookshops, and designer clothing stores.
What to buy: shoes
electronics (Armazens do Chiado has a FNAC)
What to pay: more than average
Bairro Alto is an old traditional quarter in Lisbon. Besides the traditional shops, a new dynamic is growing there, since new artists and dealers started opening new alternative shops in its streets.
From music to fashion, food to handicraft, you can find anything that is not mainstream commercial brands.
A very nice place to browse until midnight, to dine and have a drink...
All the guides say go to Baixa for shopping. Noone mentions obscure but wonderful finds like this strip of button and braid shops. My eyes grew as round as saucers as I took in shelf after shelf of metal buttons, lovely ribbons, beads and braids.
What to buy: Metal buttons; all sorts of great designs.
What to pay: between 30 centime and 1 euro each, depending on the size and design.
Rua Augusta (Augusta street) is located in one of the busiest quarters of Lisboa. Closed to traffic, this pedestrianised street has all sorts of shops for all sorts of tastes, flower peddlars, hot chestnuts sellers, street cafés, independent street Artists like the "statue man" or the familiar harmonica player.
This street has on the northern extreme the Rossio Square and on the southern extreme the Commerce Square. Near the arch that gives way to the Commerce Street you will find many peddlers with all sorts of things to sell from jewellery to shoes to handbags, neck-scarfs to temporary tattoos... anything... even drugs, so, be aware! Although police is often nearby there are some people who won't hesitate in aproaching you and asking "Hash?". They will (most probably) not harm you but it's always good to know they are there so you can avoid problems.
Another curious thing in this area is the name of the streets that run parallel to Rua Augusta. They all come from the occupations or the materials once existent and worked on here: Rua dos Sapateiros (shoemakers), Rua da Prata (silver), Rua do Ouro (gold), etc.
The old architectural style, originally from the reconstruction of Lisboa made by Marquês de Pombal after the 1755 earthquake, is still intact, so you can see many of the buildings as they originally were.
Bairro Alto is a must go by night. but you should try to go there during the day. It's really cool to just walk around the small streets. It's on central lisbon, but it has quite a neighborhood spirit. And it has loads of places to spend money. A bit more alternative kind of shops... cool clothing, some designer shops, decoration, 2º hand. And you can also have a tatto to remember the journey.
In Lisbon:
Centro Comercial Colombo
El Corte Inglés
Saldanha Residence
Streets:(untill 7pm)
Av. Liberdade
and few stores in Bairro Alto
Region of Lisbon
Oeiras Parque
Cascais Shopping
Odivelas Parque
Forum Almada
etc etc
What to buy: Everything
Rua Augusta is the wide, pedestrianized center of Baixa and is lined with plenty of shops and restaurants. Pav couldn't resist buying a brown leather jacket at this boutique. He paid about 250 Euros for a really high quality jacket that would be twice that in the States.
In this street it's possible to find many known shops and buy anything, from jewelry to clothes, from shoes to flowers....
What to pay: a lot :)

I had homemade bleu cheese dressing with chickenless nuggets, Dr. praeger brand with slices of celery and carrots. SO good. I have never made homemade bleu cheese dressing before but let me tell you, it's amaziiiing. Mild yet pungent from the cheese, light and delicious. No overwhelming chemical taste like you get from Kraft or something. Really compliments the buffalo sauce flavor.
I want more!

Planning a trip to London this year? Pay close attention to the calendar, as your airfare could jump several hundred dollars in just a week. / Dan Kitwood, Getty Images
I've written about "magical dates to fly" before, but since these dates change from year to year, it's time for an update. What the magic boils down to is figuring out when the airlines raise and lower prices based on our flying habits and preferences. But what's really magical is the money you can save. I've gone through the data and here are my picks for this year's four magical dates.
Coast-to-coast flights - June 7
Say you want to fly between Los Angeles and New York. You'll find tickets in the low $300s on midweek flights through June 7. Push your flight back a day to June 8 and the price jumps 10 to 15% and remains there for a while. Sunday flights are generally significantly higher.
Europe flights - May 16 and Aug. 23
Fly from New York to London on May 16 and you'll pay about $1,100 for round-trip tickets. Delay your trip a week and watch the price zoom to $1,500, an increase of more than 35%.
We're seeing similar price jumps starting May 17 for summer non-stops from Chicago ($1,800) and Los Angeles ($2,100), so if you can fly May 16 (or earlier), you will save money.
Another way to save is by delaying your trip until the end of summer. On Aug. 23, prices drop back down to May 16 levels (in most cases). Then watch for another price-drop from mid to late October.
Bonus: The magical days of the week to fly for European jaunts are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Avoid Sundays as those flights are typically about $40+ more than the cheaper weekdays.
Caribbean flights - April 24
The magic here has to do with Spring Break travel -- the airlines know many passengers are willing to pay a premium for such trips. Example: Fly from Chicago to San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 22 or 23 and a round-trip ticket will cost more than $1,000 dollars. Wait to fly until April 24 and the price sinks like a stone to the low $300s.
The moral: It's not always enough to simply compare prices. If your itinerary is at all flexible, you must compare dates as well. Moving travel plans 24 hours one way or the other could save you a bundle.

Obama's Victory May Result in Full-Scope Chiropractic Coverage
By James D. Edwards, DC
How many times have you heard other chiropractic organizations make the unfounded statement that the National Chiropractic Legal Action Fund's lawsuits were a waste of money and yielded no real benefit to the profession? I assure you that nothing could be farther from the truth.
For proof, look no further than at the "perfect storm" created by the election of Barack Obama. His proposed health plan and the Trigon lawsuit now perfectly position chiropractic to be included, on a full-scope basis, in a universal insurance plan.
Have I got your attention? Then read on.
In his campaign, President-elect Obama proposed many things, including universal health care for all Americans:
"Establish a National Health Insurance Exchange with a range of private insurance options as well as a new public plan based on benefits available to members of Congress that will allow individuals and small businesses to buy affordable health coverage." [Emphasis added]
For a description of President-elect Obama's healthcare plan, visit his campaign Web site at http://origin.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare.
On the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of the campaign website, Obama's position is amplified:
"If you do not have insurance you can choose to enroll in the new public plan, which will offer benefits similar to what every federal employee and member of Congress gets." [Emphasis added]
President-elect Obama's proposed universal healthcare plan is based on the Federal Employees Health Care Plan (FEHBP). With the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress, there's a good chance that his healthcare plan could be adopted.
So you are probably thinking, "That's great, but how many decades will the chiropractic profession have to fight to be included in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program?" Well, fasten your seat belt because here is the wonderful news…CHIROPRACTIC IS ALREADY INCLUDED!
That's right. Solely as a result of ACA's lawsuit against the national Blue Cross Blue Shield organization, chiropractic is already included in the federal employees health care plan—which is the exact model that Obama has proposed for universal health care.
Chiropractic Inclusion
As a participant and witness to the 2001 events that resulted in chiropractic being added to the federal plan, I'd like to give you a brief overview on how this tremendous victory occurred.
When the ACA sued Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BC/BSA, the national organization) was also named as a defendant. That organization indicated in early 2001 that it was interested in settling out of court.
During settlement negotiations, ACA Legal Counsel Tom Daly surprised BC/BSA by proposing that it add chiropractic to its Federal Employee Plan (FEP), the BC/BS-administered component of the FEHBP. After learning that it had that authority, BC/BSA agreed to the proposal. ACA Chairman J. Michael Flynn, DC—after consulting with his fellow ACA Executive Committee members, President James Mertz, DC, and me—quickly closed the deal!
On May 2, 2001, ACA and BC/BSA reached a formal agreement to initiate an ongoing settlement process, and ACA dismissed its claims against BC/BSA. BC/BSA also agreed to address chiropractic coverage and reimbursement problems on a state-by-state basis. Most important, BC/BSA agreed to include a first-ever chiropractic benefit in its FEP!
You are probably asking yourself, "Is the federal employees health care plan really full scope of practice, and if so, what does it include?" You be the judge. Below are the 2008 chiropractic benefits available to federal employees and members of Congress.
Basic Option
Preferred Provider
(enrollment codes 111 & 112)
Up to 20 spinal manipulations
Initial office visit
Initial set of X-rays
PT modalities
$0 deductible/$20 co-pay
Standard Option
Preferred Provider
Up to 12 spinal manipulations
Initial office visit
Initial set of X-rays
PT modalities
$0 deductible/ $15 co-pay
Doctors of chiropractic may also be reimbursed for a range of physical therapy and rehabilitative treatments under the federal plan. For a full list, visit www.acatoday.org/pdf/FEPUpdate2008.pdf.
The outstanding coverage of the federal plan has already resulted in over a billion dollars in reimbursement for chiropractic treatments, and the tremendous opportunity the chiropractic profession now has to finally be reimbursed for full-scope services!
Should full-scope chiropractic ultimately be included in universal healthcare coverage, this profession can thank Tom Daly, Dr. Flynn, and the leadership of ACA for having the courage to file the lawsuit…and especially the thousands of NCLAF contributors who made it possible.

Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
A month ago I was discussing some of the
Before I talk about some of the things that can go terribly wrong with floating point arithmetic, it's helpful (and character building) to understand how exactly a floating point number is represented internally.
To distinguish between decimal and binary numbers, I'm going to do all binary numbers in
Here's how floating point numbers work. A float is 64 bits. Of that, one bit represents the sign:
Eleven bits represent the exponent. To determine the exponent value, treat the exponent field as an eleven-bit unsigned integer, then subtract 1023. However, note that the exponent fields
The remaining 52 bits represent the mantissa.
To compute the value of a float, here's what you do. You take the mantissa, and you stick a "
So for example, the number -5.5 is represented like this: (sign, exponent, mantissa)
The sign is
This system is nice because it means that every number in the range of a float has a unique representation, and therefore doesn't waste bits on duplicates.
However, you might be wondering how zero is represented, since every bit pattern has
If the exponent
So the biggest and smallest positive normalized floats are
(0, 11111111110, 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111)
which is
(0, 00000000001, 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
which is
The biggest and smallest positive denormalized floats are
(0, 00000000000, 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001)
(0, 00000000000, 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111)
Next time: floating point math is nothing like real number math.
Mat Hall said: "....n a PDP-10..".
Do you have a PDP-10 to show proof of that????
If you are interested in old DEC hardware [I have a PDP-8 a few PDP-11's and Vaxen], please drop me a note: email@example.com
eric - forgive me, but can you explain how you 'compute that value as a 53 bit fraction with 52 fractional places' .. thanks
Because there at 52 "actual" bits + one "implied" bit at the beginning. Go back and look at the example:
011000.. is 1.01100...
what is the hardware difference between decimal floating point arithmetic(DFA) and Binary FA.
because in actual decimal no are also stored as 1's and 0's format howthat differs and helpful over BFA
can anyone tell me what is the output when input is qnan or snan

I apologize. I had assumed they were RSU dividends based on the nature of the filing. They are not.
Half of the total purcashe is paid for by the company the other half from the employee. Below are the specifics from the plan. I still don't view this as a considerable insider purchase but it is better than what I assumed anyway. Sorry for the misinformation.

Today has just been a miserable day.

@ Makin, Menntarra, & Sgt_Kickaxe: do you have a high % of ads above the fold vs % of content?
I changed some things and then it came back over the weekend. Now it's gone again.
If Amazon - higher than your site in the SERPS - provides the product I am seeking at a good price, with reliable low-cost delivery, the question to address is: what is it about your site that is more relevant to me?
I've seen Amazon selling at a complete loss just to make a sale and put under competitors, I've seen Amazon take sales away from companies selling through their service and start selling the item themselves while bullying the manufacturers to give them deeper discounts.
[edited by: xcoder at 12:15 pm (utc) on Nov 27, 2012]
The fact that some of your products appear above Amazon every other Tuesday sure gives you the authority to debunk any wrong doing by the duo. Ya right...
The fact that we are consistantly top 3, all day, every day gives me the perspective to say that Amazon do not have a free pass.
[edited by: xcoder at 12:47 pm (utc) on Nov 27, 2012]
I used to do the same thing using aol(dot)com and aol(dot)ca but I haven't tried them for a while since using Startpage.
You wouldn't be here wasting time on this thread otherwise...
I've noticed those pages where I copied the title into the H1 tag also didn't recuperate until I changed the words around in the later.

The literature on women in science and engineering is extensive and deals with such issues as early education, decisions to study and pursue careers in science, and how women fare in their jobs.
This review used the literature on the careers of women scientists and engineers employed in academia to examine how women in these disciplines fare compared with their male counterparts. The women represented in this review have mostly completed their formal educations and have made the decision to pursue academic careers in science and engineering.
Taken as a whole, the body of literature we reviewed provides evidence that women in academic careers are disadvantaged compared with men in similar careers. Women faculty earn less, are promoted less frequently to senior academic ranks, and publish less frequently than their male counterparts.
The literature on the gender earnings gap in academia is extensive. Most of the studies we reviewed show that women faculty earn less than their male counterparts do, even after controlling for other factors that affect earnings. The gender gap in earnings narrowed by the late 1970s, and several authors hypothesize that this was the result of affirmative action policies implemented in the early 1970s.
The estimated size of the earnings gap appears to be sensitive to the kinds of control variables used in various studies. Studies that control for academic rank, publications, and family characteristics tend to show smaller earnings gaps than those that do not. However, evidence on the direct and indirect effects of marital status and parental variables on the earnings gap is mixed.
There is substantial evidence that women, as a group, are underrepresented in senior academic ranks. In part, this is because women faculty tend to be younger than their male counterparts, a consequence of the relative increase in the number of women graduates entering the fields of science and engineering.[1] Many of the studies we reviewed, however, show that even after controlling for other factors affecting promotions, including experience, women are less likely to appear in senior ranks. Some studies provide evidence that women are particularly disadvantaged early in their careers, during child-rearing years.
Many researchers use measures of scholarly productivity as control variables in both salary and academic-rank studies. Scholarly production is typically a significant factor in determining earnings and promotions, and many authors noted that women faculty members publish less on average than their male counterparts do.[2] Thus, gender differences in publication rates explain, at least partially, differences in average earnings and promotion rates between women and men. One study, however, which used a quality-weighted index of scholarly output, found that female economists are more productive than their male counterparts are.[3] Also, some of the gender differences in productivity might be explained by job selection and gender sorting by coauthors. Men and women tend to collaborate with coauthors of the same sex. Because there are relatively few women in faculties, women are placed at a disadvantage because it is more difficult for them to find collaborators.
Sections 2 through 5 of this report deal with background issues, findings on the gender earnings gap in academia, the effects of gender on tenure status and academic rank, and the literature on gender differences in scholarly productivity. Section 2, on background issues, provides a context for interpreting the findings in the literature. The last three sections of this review are connected by a common theme. Findings in the literature indicate that the gender earnings gap is at least partly due to gender differences in promotions and scholarly productivity.
[1] See, for example, Everett et al. (1996), Carnegie Foundation (1990), and Heylin (1989). Women faculty would also be younger than men if lower tenure rates cause higher female exit rates from academia.
[2] See, for example, Cole and Singer (1991).
[3] See Koplin and Singell (1996).

Mula Things to Do
Take a trip up to the castle
It's well worth taking the time to get up to the castle in Mula - the views across the plain are superb. Its such a shame they haven't kept the castle up together, but in the state that it is I am sure it could tell so many stories.
Easily reached by car or bike you'd need a lot of stamina to get a push bike up there as the way up is very steep. Theres nothing at the top at all so do take refreshments with you as in the summer heat you'll need something.Related to:

El Hogar: Amazing Tapas selection
This was a quick drink stop in the searing heat, and we were so impressed with it. It was squeaky clean and has a lovely bar area with a further larger seating area thru some double doors.
The toilets were very clean and the service we got quick and very polite. Pullling up on a Harley doesn't always get the same results when walking into cafes, but they were wonderful.
Favorite Dish: I'd been thinking thru the previous 10 minutes what to drink to quench my thirst.... and ordered a cafe bonbon - a shot of coffee on top of condensed milk, but its very sweet - but a tip is to have a seperate glass with an ice cube in it and mix the coffee up and then pour over the ice. An iced cafe bonbon is divine.
I also had a water, and got tempted by the boquerones with garlic and parsley which were just melting in my mouth about 2 minutes later. My hubby has the potatas allioli (potatoes in garlic mayo) which came with a basket ofbread and breadsticks, and he also downed a quick glass of freshly squeezed orange juice followed by another water.
So, 2 drinks each, and a tapas each, and the resulting bill was 8 euros. Amazingly cheap!! We can't compare the price between other cafes in the town as this was the only place we stopped. My only regret is that we weren't that hungry and didn't have more as it all loked delicious.Related to:
