Date: January 10 2013
The Highlanders will have to make do without All Black Tamati Ellison for most of the Super Rugby season.
Ellison is recovering from pre-Christmas shoulder surgery and is expected to be out for up to six months.
The 29-year-old midfield back tweeted that he had a four-hour operation on December 20.
Ellison originally hurt the shoulder in late October in Otago's defeat to Counties Manukau in a national provincial championship match.
He was confident the shoulder would improve and went on the All Blacks' end-of-year tour, gaining his fourth cap in the 51-22 win over Scotland before being sidelined by a toe problem.
Highlanders' coach Jamie Joseph said Tamati's shoulder began to get painful and a scan on his return to New Zealand indicated surgery was the best option.
Also unavailable when the Highlanders begin their season will be winger Declan O'Donnell, also because of a shoulder complaint.
The New Zealand Sevens representative is scheduled to have surgery this week.

90 Percent of All Lepers
By Calvin Miller
Sunday, October 31, 2010
Sermon: Thanksgiving
Luke 17:12-19
Bill Griffin tells the story of the leper in Mark 1:40 this way:
"'What's the matter with your skin?' asked Jesus.
"'Can't You see I'm covered with runny sores and crusty scabs?' No one wants to look at me, my face is so horrible.'
"'What do you want Me to do?'
"'You can make me better. I know You can,' said the man, falling on his knees in front of Jesus. 'If You don't, I'll scratch myself to death.'
"Jesus felt sorry for the poor man.
"'Don't touch me,' said the man. 'That's how you get it.'
"'I'm not afraid to touch you.' Jesus reached down and took hold of the man's arms and pulled him to his feet. The itching was gone. The sores started to dry. The scabs began to fall off.
"'Thank You, thank You, thank You!' shouted the man. 'What can I do to thank You?'
"'You can go to the temple, show yourself to a priest and say a prayer of thanks to God.'
"'Yes, yes; I will, I will!' promised the man hurrying off.
"'One more thing,' said Jesus.
"'Anything, anything,' said the man.
"'You don't have to tell anyone what I just did.'
"'I won't tell a soul,' said the man as he skipped toward Jerusalem; but the man was so happy and the walk to the temple was so long that he forgot and told everyone he met. Then all the other lepers along the road began to look for the wonderful Man with the healing touch." (Calvin Miller, The Family Book of Jesus, Bethany House, 2002.)The story well told of the gratitude of good lepers. Good lepers are those who are healed and never forget the disease they once had. They remember how good clean feels. Bad lepers, on the other hand, are those who are healed and go on acting as if they never had the disease.
Ninety percent of all the lepers in Luke 17 are ingrates—bad lepers pretending they never met Jesus. What a shame! They were so completely healed that there was not a smidgen of their former state of decay left to them. They were so healed, they headed back to the social centers of their communities. These pretenders were free to run for office—any office they might imagine. They were free to return to their former bridge clubs, Kiwanis clubs, golf clubs. Their once former scourge-word-confession, "Unclean!" had been replaced by, "Give me five!" The untouchables were now the embraceables. The infected had become the respected. The isolated tomb-dwellers had become the officers at Toastmasters.

I'm looking for quite a technical answer here, despite the amateur sounding question.
I've got a 2006 era 17" Macbook Pro (primarily running Windows) which is limited in a number of key ways. For one, the motherboard apparently won't support more than 2GB RAM. Secondly, the CPU is a coreduo, which won't support a 64-bit OS. I'm limited to 32-bit Windows and Snow-Leopard.
I've thought about getting an SSD, but the spec says the Serial ATA bandwidth is 1.5 Gb/s so I don't know if an SSD is really going to make much of a difference? I've tried a Seagate Momentus-XT Hybrid drive in it, but I got a lot of GPU artifacts which may have been due to the slightly increased power draw of the Momentus (the issues were only on battery - they went away when plugged in). And I didn't notice a huge difference in speed. I've done all the usual windows trickery to speed things up but the machine is still quite sluggish under load.
I'm fully ready to hear that there's nothing I can do to speed it up but I thought I'd ask in case anyone has any genius suggestions.
UPDATE: I know this question is pretty much dead but I said I post my WEI score, so here it is:
Windows Experience Index
Processor Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2600 @ 2.16GHz 4.7
Memory (RAM) 2.00 GB 4.8
Graphics Radeon X1600 4.7
Gaming graphics 1015 MB Total available graphics memory 4.4
Primary hard disk 146GB Free (242GB Total) 5.5
UPDATE 2: I have a new machine now, so this question has really just become academic. This machine used to fly under Windows XP. I played BioShock on it with passable framerates. Now under Windows 8 the performance is awful.
Windows 8 is supposed to be less resource intensive than XP. (Note that guy has the same CPU family as mine - 32bit core duo - and only 1GB of RAM) I've turned off indexing, disabled Dropbox and the disk usage is still at 100% almost all of the time. Opening Chrome takes about 10 seconds. Sometimes the whole machine freezes up for anywhere up to a minute before coming back. I've run some (but not all) of the harddrive tests in Seagate SeaTools and the reports are good.

Barbara Webb, a 33-year-old former chemistry teacher, believes she was fired from a metro Detroit Catholic high school after she notified the school that she was pregnant. Webb is also gay and is in a same-sex marriage, which falls outside the teachings of the Catholic religion.
According to a report by the Associated Press Wednesday, Webb says she was fired shortly after notifying her employers at Marian High School in Bloomfield Hills back in July. The termination letter she received didn't give a reason, but Webb is sure she was let go after working nine years at the all-girls private school because her pregnancy fell outside "the Catholic way."
Although the school knew she was gay and involved in a same-sex marriage, her contract with the school prohibits her from being public with anything that goes against the Catholic doctrine. Webb being pregnant would not be an issue, since she is married, but fact that her marriage is a same-sex marriage is what challenges the teachings of the doctrine.
Webb was offered an opportunity to resign with health insurance through the spring semester, but she declined and felt like a resignation would've been a lie to her. She wants to create change by standing up and letting "people know the truth." She is not sure if she will pursue legal action against the school, but felt she couldn't remain silent.
Webb wrote on her Facebook post, "My job can't be saved but the torment that the poor LGBT students at Marian must be feeling (right let's be real they exist too) the other LGBT staff (again let's be real people) and those that are silenced by fear can be helped. Speak out against wherever you see it."
The school did confirm the firing to the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday, but would not comment on the reasoning behind Webb's termination due to confidentiality. Webb said she wasn't asked how she got pregnant, but the fact that it was considered "non-traditional" is all that mattered to the school. Although pregnancy discrimination is illegal, the First Amendment freedom of religion could apply in this case if it went to court.

Hiya everybody,
I am getting a shetland pony, my first pony!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAY!!!!!!!!! But, as I am new to horse ownership I thought id ask you guys some questions if its alright?
1. I am 5ft 2inches and 7 stone, I am wanting to ride my shetland, i have heard that you can get different size of shetland, do you have any advice as to what size i should get?
2. If im riding about 5-6 times a week, hacking and light work in the arena, what feed should I give him, I thought of keeping him out at grass 24/7 with a hay supplement in the winter months, am I right?
3. Is a shetland pony right for a first horse? I've heard they are fairly cheap upkeep wise.
4. Finally, How much is an average riding shetland?
Thankyou sooo much, you guys are life savers!!!!! xxx

Right, start at the top, I have a neighbour who breeds shetlands and all i can tell you is they can carry a fully grown stag dead weight which can be enormously heavy up to 20 stone i think she said, also they used to ride them out to the shoots (fully grown men) so you'll be fine height and weight wise, the bits in the middle not sure about but i'm sure someone else will know, i know that you shouldnt pay more than 300 pounds and that will be for a perfect breeding pony. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Well i honestly would say that a shetland is not the right pony for a riding pony. They are generally used to teach 4 year olds to walk and trot. Although you can get some cracker ones i don't think you would be overly impressed with the amount of things you can do on it. If i were you i would get the idea of a shet out of your head and focus on something a little better for the amount of riding you want to do like a welsh cob.

as an owner of 4 of the little buggers, I would say i'm an experienced shetland owner!!
tbh, i agree with equi. They are cute to look at and great for young kids but I wouldn't advise riding them for 5-6 times a week. as for height, anything under 32" high is a minature shetland and anything 32" and over is a standard, but shetlands normally only go to around 42" which is 10.2hh which really isn't big at all. they are limited to what they can do in schooling, you wouldn't be able to jump anything bigger than a small crosspole and as for local competition...well you're snookered. I know they are strong but I think it could do long term damage. what about teaching it to drive a little trap instead? shetlands are bred to pull traps, not be ridden!
you'd get a shetland pony for about £300. but if you look hard enough you could get a 13.2hh welsh pony for the same price which would be much more suitable for every day riding (and competition!!)

Norwegian Fjords - the golden horses with the golden hearts.
Minty, Loki, Teiko, Willow, Cherry & Charlie - my lovely ponies :)
going to wagonsroll bit about perfect breeding pony - i would expect to pay £500 for this. for a shetland pony that is good enough to breed and show with you need something that is registered with the stud book society and most shetties out there aren't. my shettie gelding has very good breeding, he is off county showing stock and by Viscount of Grutness who is standing at stud in germany. but he doesn't have a SPSBS passport. to get one it would cost me around £200 because i would have to get him & his dam DNA tested!!
Thankyou ever so much everyone for your advice.
I think I will take your advice and either get a larger pony so I can ride, or just get a shetland as a companion.
thanks again, it means alot

Hello !!!
I have known a lot of shetlands and they are very cute but with very big personalities for such little ponies. I also wouldn't advise them for the amount of riding you'll be doing. Sure they'll carry the weight but it won't be a very comfortable ride ... incredibly short stride obv and I would be concerned for the joints.
Also you'll find you can only get so far and find you want to progress which you'll be unable to do with a shetland ... you'll be pretty limited. I suggest hunt around and find a bigger pony which will be more versatile and allow you to have more opportunities.
Good luck !!!

Hiya - I agree with most of the above - a shetland won't make a good riding pony and you will be limited to what you can do!
I am also 5'2" (but a little heavier! lol!) I have a 13.2 and an 11.2 - I ride both and the 13.2 feels right but the 11.2 does feel too small and it's not a comfy ride!
We bought the 11.2 in March (hes for a toddler which rides once in a blue moon - hence why I ride him!) and he cost just £500 - with tack! He is a welsh a and is 5yrs old - he is a superstar!! so good with the kids, maybe a little cheeky with me mind! He is very cheap to keep as is my 13.2 part-arab x welsh.

I'm 5'1 and a little bit heavier than you and I fit quite well on my 13'2 new forest! Like the others, I definitely wouldn't advise a shet, I know they're strong, but they aren't very big to be honest and I think you'd definitely benefit from getting some bigger. :)
Good look with your search, keep us updated on what you get!

My sister has a shety but to be honest I'd not have one as I clash with the huge personality. They are capable of carrying upto 20stone but that was for short distances. Schooling a shety can be done, there is a few shety dressage ponies but they are mostly in german etc.
As a first horse I would think a 13.2 who knows what its doing would be better for you progress with your riding with. Welshies or a really good highland (both carefully chosen probably with help from a much more experienced person). I'd go for more money to really find a good one so ie £2000-3000 plus vetting on top. You might find one on loan as well, I'd go for a older one too!
Good luck with your hunt for the right pony/horse!
It has been calculated thay any two thoroughbreds picked at random will on average have more than 13% of their genes in common.

I'm 5'2, about 81/2 stone and I have a 15.2hh horse aha! It says on your profile that you're 15 so maybe think about something even a little bigger because you may still grow. Maybe a 14.2? It sounds like you're going to be doing a lot of riding and you may progress and want to do shows so I'd say maybe even a 14.2 hardy breed so that costs aren't too high and it also means you won't grow out of him/her too quickly and have to face a heartbreaking sale. I had a hardy loan pony who was 13.2 when I was 14 and he lived out 24/7 and all he had was grass, water and hay!
Good luck with your search!

Strategy audit
The starting point for each strategy discussion is an audit examining the current situation systematically and in its entirety. Numerous clients from nearly every industry sector trust in our company's experience and international network of experts when they plan to evaluate their current strategy.
In brief
The accelerating rate of change in the business environment raises new claims for definition and implementation of corporate strategies. The starting point for the strategy discussion is an audit examining the current situation systematically and in its entirety.
The objective of a strategy audit is to evaluate the current strategy and to show how the company can position itself in the market. It then shows the status quo in terms of the business model and business plan.
The following steps have to be taken (project example)
- An analysis of the current strategy (analysis of the company and the market, market trends, competitors, customers, products – marketing and sales approaches)
- SWOT analysis to map out the current position and the profile of the company and brand
- Identification of the directions that can be taken to raise the brand profile and generally achieve greater market exploitation by professionalizing Marketing and Sales
- Establishment of controlling ratios to ensure sustained throughput in Marketing and Sales, as well as implementation of a strategic planning process to improve international decision making
- General improvement of the understanding of the work of the people involved and sensitization for intercultural exchange

Is there a way to monitor all read and write operations on a directory and its files in SBS 2011 (Windows Server 2008 R2)?
You can also use the built-in Access Auditing group policy settings on Server 2008 ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772630(WS.10).aspx ).
In the Group Policy editor, go to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Advanced Audit Policies - Local Group Policy Object | Object Access and enable Audit File System events (Success and Failure).
Then browse to the folder you want to monitor with Windows Explorer, Properties - Security - Advanced - Auditing and add Everyone \ Full to monitor all access.
Any attempt to access the specified folder will result in Security Event Log messsages like this:
You could go as far as automating alerts by attaching a task to the specific event in the Event Viewer to send an email, launch a program, etc when the event occurs.
The SysInternals Process Monitor tool is able to log all disk access.
Getting any useful information out of this requires that you know what you're be looking for, though. The raw access log is somewhat of a firehose. :)

Several suburban Dishers who frequent the eateries at Watters Creek have reported almost empty restaurants at peak hours. Celebrity Bakery has closed. That makes me wonder why people stand in line to pay over $3.00 for a cupcake in Preston Center. It's a crazy world.
Watters Creek Struggles in Allen, Celebrity Bakery Closes
Read This Next
there's nothing there restaurant wise to really draw people. Paciugo I suppose could to some degree, but it's not really advertised. Supposedly the pizza at Grimaldi's is nowhere near as good as it was the first few few weeks, when I hypothesize that they had actual New Yorkers working there. Mi Cocina, Brio, PF Changs…they were packed for months so I wonder if those are the empty restaurants? It's not really any surprise as there are better, cheaper options available for all 3.
Kristiana Heap
I went to dinner at Grimaldi's on March 9, and the pizza was great.
Not Another Failed Bit, Please!!!
We went to Brio Saturday night and waited almost 45 minutes for a table. The place was packed.
You cannot go out to these places every night.
Why plant this seed that it is a failing part of Allen?
Get a life…
http://snarkwife.com Stacy
I agree with the above poster…we were at Cheesecake Factory's bar Friday night, and the place looked busy enough…there was even a wait as we were leaving. It wasn't SRO like it was last summer, but it was by no means empty.
I don't think we've been to PF Chang's or Mi Cocina in the last two months at Watters Creek when there wasn't a fairly full dining room…lunch or dinner.
As for Celebrity Bakery, the one time I went there the food was average and the carrot cake was bone dry. I'd wager its failure had more to do with its food than its economy.
Just beacause Celebrity has closed doesn't mean the shopping center as a whole is failing, really??? Um, also did you forget about the state of our current economy? Lot's of restaurants are closing. Watters Creek is doing great!!
Just beacause Celebrity has closed doesn't mean the shopping center as a whole is failing, really??? Um, also did you forget about the state of our current economy? Lots of restaurants are closing. Watters Creek is doing great!!
I am really surprised and confused by this report, because everytime we go to Watters Creek, Market Street and Borders are packed.
Grimaldi's is consistent and excellent and PF Changs, Mi Cocina and Cheesecake Factory are always busy. Sephora, Black/White and Origins have a steady flow as well. Parking is tight, too.
Celebrity didn't ever look like it was open, so we never bothered.
Would the 'sources' Please stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up- 'cause I wanna buy that crack that you've been a smokin'
Celebrity never looked open, so we didn't bother.
Watters Creek is hopping and the restaurants are always packed. And Market Street. And Borders.
I want summa the crack that the 'sources' are a smokin', 'cause they are high…
The Dallas proper elitists have to torch the Burbs for some reason. You've heard the other ones, "all the houses look the same"…"no trees"…"no character". I just always come back with better schools, more house for the money, less crime. They don't seem to care about those though.
What a bunch of rhetoric crap. Celebrity was closed most of the time and I would say the difficulties we have finding parking places are a direct reflection that, in fact, Watters Creek, is doing just fine.
I love this shopping center and it has been the best thing that has happened to Allen. Tell your 'sources' to sell their grape kool-aid at another corner. Allen isn't buying.
http://Dmag Nicole
You have got to be kidding me to write that Watters Creek is not an amazing success. The experience is the BEST in the metroplex, with creeks, lakes and trees complimenting a great restaurant line up and retail mix!!!
Someone at D should investigate Celebrity, they were pathetic from a service and food standpoint. Who would pay $9 for a salad that was terrible and service to match.
Oh, and in this economy someone could note all the closing inside LBJ too….
http://Dmag EzEd
To all who read this article, take time to investigate Watters Creek, if you go on a sunny weekend or afternoon make sure you have time to enjoy this beautiful center. A lunch on one of the 9 outdoor patios/decks and you will discover a great dining experience, or maybe just a margarita at Mi Cascina will be best. I'm a regular patron and its very apparent the writer of ths article went on a cold and rainy day…with a preconception too!
I would have to say that the food quality and high prices had a lot more to do with Celebrity closing than traffic at Watters Creek. Celebrity closed one of their locations in Plano on Park not too long ago as well. There are much better cafes (Elkes) in Allen to visit.
Try going to most any of the restaurants in Watters Creek on a Saturday night… there will be a hefty wait at any of them. (with the exception of Woodlands Grill…)
I am not surprised that Celebrity closed. Every time I went there, it took forever to get anything (even just a cookie and a lemonade) and the people behind the counter always acted aloof and unfriendly.
What a load of gossipy crap. Celebrity never looked open, so we never bothered. All of the restaurants are booming and Market Street and Borders are always packed. Tell the 'sources' to sell their Grape kool-aid at another corner, 'cause Allen ain't buyin'.
Watters Creek is a failure, leasing hurdles have not been met and bank is not willing to give any more money. Get used to the empty lease spaces, what a joke Watters Creek is!

Last trip in Chile and thoughtsSantiago, Spring 2010
Although I am writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina instead of home in the US, this is my final, post-departure blog post. It has been an amazing semester full of new experiences, great people and travel. My final trip was to the famous San Pedro de Atacama in the north of Chile with some of my best friends from the program. The area is known for its desert climate, many activities, and beautiful artisan crafts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from watching the world cup with the locals to sandboarding to seeing the sunset in the Valley of the Moon to geysers to horseback riding and everything in between. An incredible way to end an incredible semester. [gallery link="file"]

Employers generally are not liable for employees' injuries sustained during routine travel to and from their regular place of work. This so-called "going-and-coming rule" is commonly recognized by states in the Workers' Comp arena. As with any rule, there are exceptions, particularly if an employer has control over or directs an employee's going-and-coming mission. Employees will try novel arguments to claim the exception.

A fixed base operator, or FBO, is a person or organization handling different types of services at any given airport. This is also known as a private jet terminal, handling everything from supplying fuel and maintenance to the aircraft, for providing access for passengers. Here is some vital information about how FBOs work so you can become better acquainted with them, using this information to determine how to find a good FBO to purchase.
History of FBOs
FBOs essentially began in the early 1900s, near the end of World War l in the United States. During this time, civil aviation was mostly unregulated and there were simply transient pilots that operated different types of military aircraft. There would be temporary locations throughout the country, such as in farmer's large empty fields, to have camps where they could offer flight lessons or give airplane rides. The requirements changed in 1926, which is when FBOs started becoming apparent. They were permanent businesses handling pilots, maintenance, fuel and mechanics of aircraft.
Modern Day FBOs
Nowadays, fixed base operators are depended on by pilots and airports. They depend on their FBO for clients who are on business trips, maintaining their aircraft, offering certain amenities and handling flight classes and training. Some FBOs nowadays are independently owned and operated, while others are part of chains. Currently, there are a little over 5,200 FBOs in the United States. The quality of the FBO often determines exactly how well they can help the pilots with their daily operations.
The Role of FBOs
FBOs have an important role, though it often changes. In some airports, the role is to provide excellent service and amenities to the clients of a small, charter airport. In this case, they handle transportation, customer service, car detailing, catering requests, providing excellent waiting areas, and other special services. Other FBOs are mre about the maintenance and handling of the aircraft. If you are currently shopping around for an FBO, figuring out the primary role of the person or organization is important because it gives you a good place to start on your search.
Before purchasing an FBO for your airport, it is important to perform sufficient research. Make sure they have plenty of knowledge and experience with whatever role you are hoping to fill. This might be delivering aircraft fuel or catering to guests, but either way, they should be experienced with that specific service. Finding an FBO Consultant can help.

The indiscrete-category functor I: Set -> Cat is not algebraically exact as I claimed in my posting of October 9. But I is a full codomain restriction of one: as in that posting, let F be the forgetful functor the Gabriel-Ulmer theory T of categories to the theory of sets. Then Alg F is an algebraically exact functor from Set to Alg T, and the Yoneda embedding Y: Cat -> Alg T is fully faithful (since the dual of T is dense in Cat). It is easy to see that Alg F is naturally isomorphic to Y.I , thus, I preserves sifted colimits. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx alternative e-mail address (in case reply key does not work): J.Adamek <at> tu-bs.de xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Same Song, Different Horse
July 2, 2009
Seven years ago, Shawn Flarida wasn't really a household name in the reining world.
However, in 2002, Shawn rode a spunky little palomino stallion to a phenomenal 233 to win his first National Reining Horse Association Futurity. Wimpys Little Step boosted Shawn's star. Since then, the Ohio reining trainer has returned to the winner's circle again and again, including three more times at the futurity, twice at the National Reining Breeders Classic and now four times at the NRHA Derby, after winning on a son of "Wimpy" on June 27.
Shawn and RC Fancy Step were 12th in the draw for the 2009 NRHA Derby open finals. Marco Ricotta and Hollywoodtinseltown were leading with an amazing 230.5. This same pair had tied with Shawn and "RC" with a 227 for the lead in the Derby prelims.
Shawn put the high score out of his mind and focused on the 5-year-old palomino stallion underneath him.
"I try not to think about those things, because there are a ton of guys out there who can mark a score like that," Shawn said. "So you don't think about those things or you will drive yourself nuts."
Riding pattern 5, Shawn moved RC into his first set of circles.
"In the circles to the left, I ran him as hard as he could run. He's a little, short, fat stud, so he can't go very fast. But as soon as you hum to him or say anything to him, he'll come back really hard."
RC's first set of spins were phenomenal.
"He turned to the left so freaking hard, they felt like a 1 1/2," Shawn recalled. "I'm just glad when he stopped that I was still on his back. They were really, really cool."
Moving into his second set of circles, Shawn pushed RC again and then went into his right spins.
"He was so sweet, and was at least a plus 1 about everywhere across the board."
In the figure eight, Shawn didn't run RC quite as hard as he did in the circles, trying to conserve the stallion's air.
"I don't know that I did a very good job, but I tried," Shawn said. "He did run out of gas a little bit running into the stops but he stopped really good on the left lead. Usually he's better on the right lead but he actually stopped really good on the left lead tonight. He was just a lot of fun to show and did awesome."
The pair took over the lead with a 232.5, and it was not topped by any of the next 25 horses, include two Shawn was riding: Western Whiz and the 2007 NRHA Futurity and 2008 NRHA Derby champion Wimpys Little Chic.
Shawn and RC have been together since the beginning of the stallion's career. By Wimpy and out of Sonita Wilson by Doc Wilson, the stallion and Shawn won the 2007 All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity and were the reserve champions at the 2007 NRHA Futurity, just behind another Wimpy foal, Wimpys Little Chic, also ridden by Shawn.
Just before the 2008 NRBC open finals, Mark Schols and Jimmy Pierce sold RC to Debora Plummer of Buffalo Ranch of Fort Worth, Texas.
"The ranch has been absolutely wonderful to work for," Shawn said. "The (owners) wanted to venture into the reining horse industry. I told them when they bought RC, 'You're starting at the top and that means we can only go one way."
But as talented as RC is, Shawn doesn't see that happening.
"He's just such a dominant, physical horse, and reminds me so much of his dad," he said. "Wimpy was good to me in 2002 and that seems like an eternity now but it really wasn't. And I hope Wimpy will continue to produce some more for me and keep me in the winner's circle."

On Tuesday, Katy Perry dished on her mid-concert kiss from Miley Cyrus, and her comments weren't all that complimentary. Perry appeared on the Australian talk show Sunrise (as reported by E) and detailed the kiss.
It all happened at a Bangerz tour even late last month in Los Angeles. Cyrus was in the middle of "Adore You" when she bent down to give Perry, reportedly a good friend, a kiss. It is unclear if Perry thinks they are "that good" in terms of friendship.
I just walked up to her to give her like a friendly girly kiss, you know, as girls do, and then she like tried to move her head and go deeper and I pulled away.
In other words, Cyrus went for a french kiss and Perry wasn't all that comfortable with that.
Perry joked -- perhaps tongue-in-cheek rather than tongue-in-mouth,
God knows where that tongue has been. We don't know! That tongue is so infamous!
A fan posted an Instagram video of the liplock, but because of the crowd, not much can be seen -- except for Perry wiping her mouth after the kiss.
Later, Cyrus tweeted an image of the pair, above.

Safe Cooking
David Schardt & Leila Corcoran
It may look like a garbled computer message, but its actually bad news for beef and chicken lovers, especially with the summer cookout season around the corner.
The snippets are shorthand for half a dozen potentially cancer-causing chemicals called HCAs, or heterocyclic amines, which are created when meat, poultry, and fish are cooked at high temperatures.
"We know these compounds can probably cause cancer in humans," says Elizabeth Snyderwine, Chief of the Chemical Carcinogenesis Section at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland. "What we dont know yet is how significant a problem they are in the American diet."
Until theres more evidence, "it makes sense to avoid (HCAs) when we can," says Mark Knize of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.
The Culprits
How much HCAs are created depends on how long the food cooks, at what temperature, and how its prepared.
"Meat and poultry produce the most HCAs because they contain the most amino acids and creatine, which are converted into HCAs," says Lawrence Livermores James Felton. "Seafood produces much less, and plant foods like veggieburgers, fruits, and vegetables little or none."
Grilling, barbecuing, broiling, and pan-frying are more likely to produce HCAs than baking or roasting, because they generate more heat. A propane gas grill set on high can reach 640 F, while a typical roasting temperature is 350 .
Cooking with liquidboiling, steaming, poaching, or stewing, for examplegenerates no HCAs because the temperature never tops the boiling point of water. Ditto for microwaving, so long as the food is not overcooked or dried out.
NCI epidemiologist Rashmi Sinha says that well-done beef, pork, and chicken produce the most HCAs, particularly if theyve been grilled or barbecued.
"But nowadays, with bacterial infections, you dont want to tell people to eat rare meat," she says. "You want to cook it thoroughly, but not at a very high temperature."
(Interestingly, people who frequently eat chicken have lower rates of colon cancer.1 Researchers dont know why.)
While charred meat and poultry contain more HCAs, you cant always predict which meats have the most. For example:
PAHs: Another Grill Menace
Whenever fat drips on a flame, heating element, or hot coals, chemicals called PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) form. The PAHs waft up in the smoke and can land on the food. They can also form directly on food when its cooked to a crisp.
"If you throw a steak or hamburger on the grill and let it get really brownthe fats dripping off it and flames and smoke are shooting upthats the stuff you dont want to do," says the NCIs Rashmi Sinha.
As many as 12 of the 18 PAHs found in cooked food cause cancer in laboratory animals. But proof that they cause cancer in humans is still elusive. The key to preventing PAHs: Stop the fat from dripping on the heat source (see "Avoiding HCAs and PAHs").
The Smoking Gun
People who eat more meat have a higher risk of colon and prostate cancer. Is that because they eat more saturated fat, fewer fruits and vegetables, or more or less of something else? No one knows. Could it be because they consume more HCAs and PAHs? Most research has centered on HCAs.
Only one study has asked people how much meat they ate and how they cooked it, and then waited to see who got cancer.
Among 10,000 Finns monitored for 24 years, women who reported eating the most fried meat had a 77 percent greater risk of developing cancer of the breast, endometrium, or ovary than women who ate the least. But men who ate more fried meat had no greater cancer risk than men who ate less. (The researchers didnt ask about grilled or broiled meat.)
And six studies have found that people with breast, colon, stomach, or other cancers had eaten more fried or well-done meats than similar people without cancer.
But being diagnosed with cancer may have biased their reporting.
Case Not Closed
"It seems very plausible that HCAs cause cancer," says Knize. "But its still a long way from proof."
First, "the level of HCAs in food can vary by two-hundred fold or more, since it depends so much on cooking conditions," points out Lawrence Livermores James Felton.
Second, people vary in their susceptibility. About half of all Caucasians in the U.S. inherit a slow-acting form of an enzyme called NAT2, and that makes them less susceptible to developing cancer from carcinogens like HCAs.
Put these two factors together "and you could have a thousand times greater risk of cancer than your neighbor who eats the same food," says Felton.
Lawrence Livermore has an NCI grant to work on the HCA puzzle. In the meantime, "I think were on really safe ground to say that well-done or very-well-done meat is not good for you," says Sinha.

I don't really like it for a name. I had no problem with it until I was grocery shopping the other day and heard a mother call after her daughter, Poppy. It just doesn't sound like a name. Not to mention there's no real way of sternly saying Poppy. And, her mother also called her what sounded like Poop.
I just don't like it I guess, but it seems I'm the minority.My Favorites:
Colette Leona. Alice Evanna. Mabel Verity. Aurelia Esme. Rosalie Raine.

A two-day festival featuring the most and best local reggae bands as well as some superb headliners in the genre, Matisyahu, Stephen "Ragga" Marley, and Slightly Stoopid, was an outstanding event this last weekend. With a total of 16 additional bands, the $60 charge for both days works out at just over $3 for each band, and free parking, easy bus transit and plenty of food and other vendors made it a self-contained and thoroughly enjoyable way to spend the weekend.
This author managed to see ten or more of the bands, so only a limited number of photos of each can be posted here, but over 1100 photos are on my Facebook page. The bands included, on Saturday, the well-known Know Ur Roots headed by Elgueta Vidal Antonio, Natural Roots, and Afro Omega. Tribe of I, Funk & Gonzo preceded these three, and they were followed by Hirie, Thrive, Through the Roots, and The Expendables before Saturday's finale with the superb Matisyahu.
On the second day, Sunday, the line-up was DJ Roots Rawka, Bludgeon Muffin, Mikisi, 2 1/2 White Guys, Codi Jordan Band, Stranger, and Fortunate Youth, followed by the excellent performances of headliner Stephen Marley, son of Bob Marley, and Slightly Stoopid rounding out the entire festival. Marley introduced his son and the rest of his children.
The event vendors also had a field day, with T-shirts, artworks, food, soft drinks and jewelry,and lots of young people around to spend a beautiful day in the sunshine and some beautiful moolah on the merch! All in all, my rating of this event was a very successful and worthwhile way to spend a fine summer weekend.

This cloud is due to the interaction between a low pressure system sitting in the Tasman Sea and a high pressure system over southern NSW. Thunderstorm activity is evident around the low in the Tasman. A cold front and associated cloud band has begun to influence the southwest parts of Western Australia. Some mid to high level cloud is visible over Tasmania. This cloud was produced by a cold front which has since weakened to the south of the state. The rest of the country remains clear due to the large high pressure system centred over southern NSW.

Ryan McGinness Revives Andy Warhol's Favorite Medium: Silkscreen
New York artist Ryan McGinness used to work as an intern at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Last week, the museum hung up his own art for a show called "Women: Forms + Surfaces."
Over the past decade, McGinness has gained a reputation for reviving the contemporary art world's interest in Warhol's favorite medium, the silkscreen. McGinness is known for creating kaleidoscopic canvases that feature layers of stencil-like images of everything from arabesque tendrils to castles, deer, and safety pins.
Collectors of his work include San Francisco investment manager Charles Schwab and Italian hotelier Gilberto Sandretto and his wife, Rosa. The artist's works have also sold at auction for as much as $68,500.
The artist's ties to Warhol date back to adolescence: As he waffled between accepting a college spot at the Rhode Island School of Design or Carnegie Mellon University, his mother reminded him that the Pop master had gone to the latter, then known as Carnegie Tech. With that, McGinness said his choice was clear. "If Warhol went there, that sealed the deal for me," he said.
McGinness wound up spending much of his senior year at Carnegie working as one of several curatorial assistants at the Warhol museum, which opened the day after he graduated from college in 1994. Because of his know-how with graphic design, the artist helped the new museum design promotional materials, including the invitation to its first gala fundraiser. "The best part was just being around all that great work," he added.
Since he moved to New York shortly after graduation, McGinness hadn't had much chance to revisit the Warhol museum. But nearly two years ago, he got a call from the museum's director, Eric Shiner, inviting him and 13 other contemporary artists to partner with one of Pittsburgh's industrial plants to create a group of new artworks for an ongoing exhibition project the museum calls "Factory Direct: Pittsburgh." (As part of the deal, cooperating factories pay to produce the art, but the artists keep the works.)
McGinness chose Forms + Surfaces, a company that typically makes hand railings and benches for city parks as well as etched-glass walls for building interiors. In January, Mr. McGinness toured the facility to brainstorm and, with the workers' help, created a series of 12 wall-mounted works made using mirrored steel and colored glass.
The new works dovetail with "Women," a series the artist started three years ago based on his life drawings of nude women. For the Warhol museum show, he had the factory etch his designs onto mirrored steel and colored glass plates, which he overlapped and bound together so that his original images of the women were obscured in spots—or abstract overall.
"I do a lot of experimenting in the studio," he said, "but it's always fun to keep exploring new ways to materialize my art." (Warhol would likely agree.)
The show will be on view through Sept. 9.

Same Gene May Shape Face, Heart and Hands
By GEORGE JOHNSON
Published: February 13, 1996
AS though they were blessed with a kind of diagnostic clairvoyance, doctors have long been able to gaze into a patient's face and see reflections of ills in far-flung regions of the body.
Eyes that slant downward like Sylvester Stallone's, combined with droopy eyelids and a broad-tipped nose, might be the signature for Noonan's syndrome, in which there is a narrowing of the pulmonary valve between the heart and lungs. A large head with wide-spaced eyes and broad nasal bridge might mean Greig syndrome, with its telltale clusters of extra fingers and toes.
What diagnosticians could not hope to see, until the science of genetics matured, was the link between the eyes and the heart, the nose and the hands -- the common cause of these distant distortions.
In a string of discoveries over the last three years, scientists have uncovered the genetic mechanisms that change the face along with seemingly unrelated parts of the body. In many cases, a good diagnostician can now look at a misshapen face and see all the way down into the genome, predicting where in the genetic coils the DNA has become unsprung.
After these deeper insights into rare diseases, researchers also now hope to piece together the complex process that gives rise to something every human has: the unique visage he or she presents to the world.
"This really is the golden age of human developmental genetics," said Dr. Ethylin Wang Jabs, the director of the Center for Craniofacial Development and Disorders at Johns Hopkins University. "Now that we are beginning to identify what genes are involved, we can begin to understand their function -- how they interplay with one another to form the structure of the face and head."
In the latest discovery, reported in the current Nature Genetics, scientists at the University of Manchester in England and the University of California at Irvine have found the gene for Treacher Collins syndrome, which affects only the face and head. Typical signs are deformed ears, down-slanting eyes, V-shaped lower eyelids, flat cheek bones and a small chin.
"People see the face as being so centrally important that when it does go wrong, it can be devastating," said Dr. Michael J. Dixon, who led the team at the University of Manchester that found the Treacher Collins syndrome gene, calling it the Treacle gene. "If the face doesn't look right, people assume the person is intellectually abnormal," he said. "You see this reaction even among professionals. 'Are they not all there?' is the way it's often said."
Because of inner-ear deformities, deafness is common with Treacher Collins, but unlike some other facial syndromes, it is not accompanied by retardation.
Now that scientists have found the Treacle gene, the next step will be to determine what protein it codes for. Then they can see how this molecular product interacts with the other recently discovered factors that lead to the blossoming of the facial petals.
Dr. Robin M. Winter, professor of clinical genetics at the Institute of Child Health in London, said the discovery of the Treacle gene is exciting because it comes at a time when the pieces of the facial puzzle are starting to click into place. "People are now finding these single genes that give the face its appearance," he said in an interview. "Quite often it turns out to be a surprise. Either they hadn't heard of the gene before or they hadn't a clue that it was involved with the face."
Though the story is far from complete, scientists are identifying an array of genes that play a role in the formation of the embryonic face. Early on in human development, the multiplying cells of the fertilized egg give rise to an outer layer of tissue called the ectoderm. This then develops into the neural plate, the precursor of the central nervous system. After the neural plate has folded to form the notochord -- a primitive spinal column -- it produces a structure called the neural crest. Then neural crest cells migrate to form various parts of the body.
In one region, neural crest cells develop into five structures -- the branchial arches -- which grow to form the face. Just how fast they grow and when they fuse with one another help determine how the facial features gel. Neural crest cells also migrate to form the aortic arch and various pigmentary cells -- a detail that may be telling, because heart defects and unusual discolorations are sometimes linked with facial malformations.
One of the first pieces of the story of facial development was put in place in 1993 when scientists discovered a gene for Williams syndrome. In this rare disorder, an elfin face -- with sagging cheeks, full lips and a depressed nasal bridge -- is accompanied by a narrowed aortic valve and brain defects. There is retardation, but linguistic skills remain intact or even enhanced.
The culprit here turns out to be a missing gene that produces elastin, a protein that, as its name implies, is an important component in elastic fibers like those in the skin, the aortic walls and the lungs. DNA surrounding the elastin gene was also missing from Williams patients, leading researchers to surmise that other genes might be involved as well.

You'll notice when Kendrick Lamar dropped his now infamous verse on "Control," Tyler the Creator was one of the names he called out as his competition. Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler's supposedly more lyrically potent running mate, was left off the list.
Multiple listens to his debut, Doris, confirms that Kendrick has nothing to worry about from Earl.
"Burgundy" featuring Vince Staples seems to sum up what may have been the problem with Doris' creation. Earl's troubled rhymes seem to indicate he just wasn't ready for this: "Grandma's passing/But I'm too busy tryna get this f**ckin' album cracking to see her/So I apologize in advance if anything should happen/And my priorities f***ed up, I know it, I'm afraid I'm going to blow it/And when them expectations raising because daddy was a poet, right?"
Much of Earl's output on Doris sounds like that of a kid overwhelmed by the moment.
The 19-year-old member of the cult favorite group Odd Future has garnered almost mythical buzz with his mixtape, Earl, and his subsequent disappearance having been sent to a boarding school in Samoa by his mother. He re-emerged notably with a memorable verse on "Super Rich Kids" off Frank Ocean's (another Odd Future member) seminal channel ORANGE album.
There's nothing on Doris, though, to match the high of that star guest appearance. At times he sounds completely lost – with the laughable braggadocio on "Pre" ("Pop artillery…Just watch, I'ma kill 'em all in a minute") or the utterly morose "Guild," which sounds like sludge and features tired lyrics from Mac Miller ("Marilyn Manson channeling, panicking, spar with Anakin") and Earl ("We could play doctor, ma/open wide for the thermometer").
On "Sunday," one of the album's better cuts, he's out-rhymed by Ocean, who seemingly has some things to say to Chris Brown:
"They thought me soft in high school, thank God I'm jagged/Forgot you don't like it rough, I mean he called me a fa**ot/I was just calling his bluff I mean how anal am I gon' be/When I'm aiming my gun/And why's his mug all bloody, that was a three on one?"
Earl does have a unique and complex flow, able to topple one rhyme on top of another with no space in between. But it's a fine line between complicated, like the wordplay on "Chum" ("Sixteen, I'm hollow, intolerant, skip shots, I storm that whole bottle, I'll show you a role model, I'm drunk, pissy, pissing on somebody front lawn/Trying to figure out how and when the f**k I missed moderate") and gibberish like on "Hive" ("…these critics and interns admitting the s*it spit/It just burn like six furnaces writ it/I affixed learning them digits and simultaneously/Dispelling one-trick pony myths, isn't he?").
Earl is the type of rapper you have to listen to hard, paying attention to every word. Unfortunately, there's nothing about the music here that deserves that kind of respect.
From a production standpoint, Doris feels like it's in slow motion. It never gets going. Instead it plods at the same tempo with the same depressing style of beats that glumly slur along.
He gets a little help from The Neptunes on "Burgundy," but even that is downbeat for them. RZA lends his voice and production experience to "Molasses" and it's one of the more energized efforts musically, but RZA's chorus isn't even worth repeating.
Earl also doesn't differentiate himself from his mentor Tyler, whose album Wolf that came out earlier this year is a much better, more fully realized version of what Doris aspires to be, and it wasn't even that good.
Doris is cluttered with guest spots, many of which outshine Earl, including the not exactly household names Domo Genesis and Vince Staples.
Whatever the opposite of a crowning achievement is, that's what this is for the Odd Future collective. Sort of the epitome of this scattered, overhyped movement. Maybe Earl still has a future. Perhaps his brilliance is yet to be untapped. Right now he's just an amateur who's nowhere near close to being on Kendrick's list.
Haven't heard this album in its entirety, but this kid can rhyme, probably just needs better production…Everyone PLEASE remove yourselves from Kendrick Lamar's penis…he's not all that, do we have to mention this bastard in every story or review that doesn't even involve him???? Geez…
I actually really like this album as well. Definitely more than 2 and a half @ in my opinion.
well i think we are in agreement for the most part…stefan…sorry…but i think you are biased and you wrote a bad review…earl made a good album
This album is EASILY @@@ plus. The production took a minute to grow on me, but it's solid. Lyrically Earl is on point as usual, the kid can rap his ass off. Frank Ocean came no where near to out rapping Earl either by the way, not even close, but I guess it's still cool to like Frank Ocean even if you hate on the rest of OF. Very inaccurate review.
Wow! I really expected more of HHS on this. Being that the first time I heard of OF was here. In an interview with Alchemist, when he was answering a question about what he was listening to, he said Oddfuture and Earl Sweatshirt. Gosh the time past. Progression isn't always sweet but it does show growth. This writer seems so jaded or hurt. I am a little let down I guess because I expected EARL pt.2. It's still dope. Look at Summer Knights, 1999 in my mind out shined it. I think Earl is like Joey. Young and patient. Sleep on them. Watch what they can do. Have faith in the young ones. Oh Vince, Domo, and Mac are the shit!

STARKVILLE, Miss. --- A veteran and a rookie starred for the Volleyball Bulldogs Friday night, powering Mississippi State to a season-opening straight-sets win over Jackson State in the first round of MSU's Maroon Classic. A boisterous crowd of 1,605, second-largest volleyball attendance at the Newell-Grissom Building, cheered the Bulldogs on to 25-9, 25-9 and 25-17 wins.
Senior Chanelle Baker (Carrollton, Texas) piled up 13 kills on a .667 hitting night while freshman Taylor Scott (Claremont, Calif.), one of five first-year Bulldogs to see playing time in the match, added 13 kills of her own in an impressive collegiate debut.
The Bulldogs continue play in the two-day MSU Classic Saturday taking on ULM at 12:30 p.m. and first-time foe Kennesaw State at 7 p.m. KSU topped ULM 3-1 (25-22, 25-15, 22-25, 25-12) in Friday's tourney-opener.
"We did a lot of the things that we set out to do tonight --- had good ball control, played good defense, and kept our mistakes to a minimum," said fourth-year Bulldog head coach Jenny Hazelwood. "I thought the team did a great job tonight, especially when you consider how young we are."
In addition to Scott, the Bulldog starting lineup also included rookie outside hitter Katie Enright (Novi, Mich.) and middle blocker Sarah Nielsen (Cypress, Texas), with defensive specialist Roxanne McVey (Magnolia, Texas) and middle blocker Alex Warren (San Antonio, Texas) seeing duty off the bench.
Defending SWAC champ Jackson State, one of six MSU opponents in 2012 that advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament, scored the first point of the match on a kill by Jasmine Knight. But the Bulldogs forced 13 JSU attack errors in the opening set, bolting to a 10-point lead at 14-4 and cruising home to a 25-9 win.
The Bulldog offense got rolling early in the second period when State jumped out to an 8-1 advantage. Scott was dazzling in her second set of college volleyball, tallying seven of her 13 kills in the period. Her final point-producing swing gave the Bulldogs a 25-9 win in the stanza.
Baker, who registered eight kills in nine attacks in the first two frames, added five kills in the third set as State pulled away from a sluggish 6-6 start to nail down the season-opener with a 25-17 win. The MSU co-captain backed her 13-kill performance with 11 digs, notching the third double-double of her MSU career. "She did a good job of carrying a big bulk of our offense tonight," said Hazelwood.
The Bulldogs hit .325 for the match, building a 36-25 edge in kills while leading 46-32 in digs and 15-7 in total blocks. Nielsen registered seven kills on a .545 hitting night while McVey took match honors with 21 digs. Warren, another rookie, paced MSU at the next with five blocks, including the team's lone solo rejection. Perret finished the night with 32 assists, a pair of kills and two blocks.
Hazelwood expressed appreciation for the opening night gathering of Bulldog volleyball fans. "They were amazing. Our fans give us a lot of energy, and they seemed to get super excited and loud every time we made a big play," she said.Jackson State got a 12-kill showing from Christine Edwards and a nine-dig effort from Dana Yoshimura.

As awful as Frankenstorm, Superstorm hurricane-Nor-easter hybrid Sandy was, it was not even the worst that can happen in the New York area. There have been more powerful storms that hit the area in past history but at a "kinder gentler angle" so they were less destructive.
A worst case scenario would have a storm with an even more southeast to northwest angle but with more powerful winds funneling into NY Harbor and environs storm surge waters 20 feet high topped with waves.
The east coast risk will remain elevated for at least a few more years, or until we exit the current multi-decade cycle in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and the quiet sun cycle.
Similar to the 1930 and 1950s both the solar cycle sunspot activity and the ocean temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic favor the kind of heightened threat we've seen the past couple hurricane seasons.
This does not mean it has to happen every year or that we will necessarily get another east coast storm as bad or worse than Sandy, just that we are in a cyclical pattern that ups the ante.
This year most of the storms formed fairly close to the United States, next year if history holds true to past weather, the so-called "Cape Verde" storms off the "African wave-train" will be the ones that grow into monsters and roll toward the Caribbean, with possible impacts on the US Gulf or east coast.
Meanwhile, the patterns of storm tracks and temperatures in September and October thus far are re-enforcing the idea that this winter will be a colder and more snowy one in the nation, especially between the Continental divide and the Appalachians.
Short-term there will be a burgeoning warm spell to above-normal and maybe in some cases record warmth from the Plains to the Southeast for a couple days by Saturday before it turns cold again next week, then another such warm-up may occur by the following Veterans Day weekend and the following week, then another cold shot. Sounds like the back and forth up and down we saw in October doesn't it? Perhaps another signal for the coming winter.
Sandy stats:
- 33 deaths in US, more than 100 deaths total
- $20 billion in damage, $30 billion in lost business (may end up among the top 5 costliest US hurricanes)
- lowest pressure ever recorded for a hurricane north of the Carolinas
- Sandy was the 8th Atlantic hurricane so far this year
- Wind gust to 90 mph at Islip, NY and 89 mph in Surf City, NJ
- Nearly 8 million without power during the height of the storm
- NYSE closed for consecutive days for the first time since 1888
- more than 3 feet of snow in parts of West Virginia
- 32.5 ft wave in New York harbor which breaks previous record by more than 6 feet
- Record high water level of 13.88 ft at Battery Park in Manhattan
- gusts to 69 mph in Michigan City, Indiana
- 21.7" wave registered in southern Lake Michigan foot shy of all-time record
- Lake Michigan's water level climbed up to 11" above normal thanks to wind piling and low pressure.
The American forecast model failed to foresee Sandy track inland until last few days before landfall. The superiority of the Euro as we call it in forecasting circles is certainly old news to us insiders, although it was not the only foreign model to not curve Sandy out to Sea like the US model did, the Japan and Canadian and the US Navy models also had good forecasts, In fact, the Canadian had it before the Europe model if memory serves.
But the problem as always is just because model X performs best on storm A does not mean model X will perform best on storm B. They all have there moment in the sun so to speak, part of the headache of modern forecasting.
Its mainly that the US model is most often the worst of them all!!, especially in the 5-10 day range.
(and guess which one feeds the point and click free forecasts on the web, hand-held devices, and car screens and is followed most closely by TV people!) You guessed it, the GFS or as I call it the good for shX$
and not just because the European using 4D data integration, it has just as much to do with lousy internal physics and thermodynamic handling combined with medium range truncation of the equations to a more coarse mesh that occurs with the US model and not the others.
But the story is more complicated of course, because the ensemble version of the US model did OK, it was the deterministic version that stunk until within 3 days or so. Interestingly, WITHIN the 5 day period SOME of the metrics we use to measure accuracy showed both the Euro and the American had near record performance on Sandy's global patterns.
We are way behind in super computers in the US, not just in weather but in general!

I am an astrologer, and I observed the types of astrology
Trelawney and
Firenze teach (and
presumably practice) are two different types.
Trelawney's astrology is natal or
genethiliacal astrology. It consists of personal birthcharts and what will
happen when Mars and Saturn make an angle. As
Parvati said, it has to do with
individuals and their lives (OP27).
It's 95% of the popular astrology today, and 99% of the books you see today
contain something on this subject, as that's what sells books.
Firenze (and the rest of
the centaurs) practice
Mundane, or political astrology. This is much older and concerns countries,
regions, and the world in general. This is the astrology that Nostradamus
used in his predictions. It has little to do with individual personalities,
except when they rule (govern) countries or affect the world (like
You-Know-Who, and maybe
Harry). But the statements about the
world is between conflicts and Voldemort
will return and the rest and even the famous "Mars is bright tonight" are all
attributable to Mundane astrology.
Firenze's burning of
mallow root and the rest is
supporting mundane predictions with various forms of scrying. It's similar
to what the Ancient Greeks and Romans did. (And possibly the Chaldeans --
the original astrologers--but we don't know that much about their exact
Anyhow, comparing what
Firenze and
Trelawney do with astrology is like
comparing apples and tomatoes. They speak different astrological languages.

Car vs. Car: Gumpert Apollo vs. McLaren F1
Page 3 of 3
Exterior design – 19/20The debate of the perfect car design has probably existed nearly as long as there have been cars, and some stunning contenders have come along the way. The F1 deserves mention as one of them, at least among modern sports cars. Designed not to be the last word in exotics but rather as the ultimate driver's car, the look is purposeful yet functional. Free of bothersome wings and scoops, the F1 has a clean look that could still pass as a new car today.
Interior design – 9/10Is it proper for such a fierce performer to have so welcoming a cabin? It works for the F1, anyway. Open the scissor-action door and climb aboard… from either side.The driver's seat is in the center. And since some of life's great experiences involve three participants, three is the magic number for seats in the F1 with the driver front and center, and the passengers to either side and slightly behind. Not surprisingly, it takes a little time to accustom oneself to this layout, and it can be frustrating not being able to peek around the car ahead of you in traffic. On the track or open road, however, it's a joy.
Sound system/goodies – 8/10Kenwood was commissioned to produce the F1's lightweight CD sound system, though all the music you'll ever need comes from the V12 directly behind you. From the center-mounted throne, you're in complete control, from the aerodynamic adjustments to air conditioning, central locking, map lights and power windows (however tiny the latter may be). And though the F1 is no SUV, it actually boasts a degree of luggage space, complete with fitted leather bags. McLaren even built the F1 with longevity in mind. A handful of authorized service centers (and if serious enough an issue, McLaren themselves) undertake service and repairs, the most basic of which can be done remotely. Each car has an onboard modem for remote diagnostic service.
Bang for the buck – 18/20When it was new, the F1 was unrivaled. Although its numbers have been beat since then, the F1's relevance and intrinsic performance is still tough to top. If you can present a compelling argument for an owner to part with his car and readily have over a million bucks to seal the deal, you'll both come out ahead.
Driving experience – 19/20For most of us lucky enough to get the chance, firing up a million-dollar Le Mans-winning exotic is a double shot of adrenaline with a chaser of fear. Just don't be a fool, and the F1 won't make a fool of you. It was designed to be the ultimate driver's car, and we have to believe the mission was accomplished.
Overall score – 93/100We're closing on nearly a decade since F1 production ended in 1998. Still, the F1 looks fresh and commands as much enthusiasm as it does respect. It may no longer be the world's fastest production car and a couple cars can out-accelerate it. So what? It's an automotive milestone with a legacy.
The McLaren F1. There's a reason otherwise sane men will commit all seven deadly sins (and perhaps more, just for good measure) for the chance to own one, even though the newest example is almost 10 years old. The Gumpert Apollo cranks out stellar numbers for a fraction of the price, but overall, the F1 remains A1 in this comparison.
and the winner is
