What's life like working as a professional voice over talent in LA?
In this 9 minute video, one of world's most in-demand voices, Beau Weaver, shows how he works as a voice over talent from home studios in Los Angeles and Ojai, CA.
Beau Weaver
When Beau sent me the video yesterday, I was elated to watch it and learn more about him and his work. Beau's video reminded me that success is the fruit of years of labor and that anything can happen, even working for yourself in a sequestered studio environment within the glorious landscape of Ojai, California.

I quite enjoyed this video...thanks so much for taking time to post it.Posted by:
As usual a class act from Beau Weaver.
And maybe it's just me, but in the beginning, his resemblance to Tommy Chong was frightening, to say the least, lol.Posted by:
Thanks for the video Beau, Ojai looks beautiful. I was hoping to get a glimpse of your beautiful doggies helping you out in the studio. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Denise Kelly
Thank you for sharing this, Beau!
For the first minute or two, I wondered what you were doing in California. I should have known you were a fellow Coloradan.
You put a huge smile on my face, thank you again for sharing. It was fun!
Recording at 7,000 ft in the Mountains of SW Colorado....
Thank you Beau for taking the time to record this and then share this with us and thank you Stephanie for hosting it here.

Hi Stephanie
I thought Beau's video was just great! Informative, entertaining, great sense of humor, too.
Thanks for passing that along.
What a great insight into who you are! Thanks for the tour. I love the keep it simple part. You are blessed, Beau, and acknowledging that fact to all of us makes you a more real guy in my book. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for taking time to let us into 'your world' for a moment or two. You're one of many upper echelon VO talent who are kind, gracious, and willing to share your insights with the world. You're just another great reason that my passion for voice over continues!
From the complete opposite side of the USA...
-JC Haze in Manchester, New Hampshire
Thanks Beau. Your video was both informative and enjoyable to watch. I love to see peoples studios. I found the part about marketing yourself along with two VO friends a reminder that we need to be creative when dealing with promoting ourselves.
By the way, I'm surprised you haven't been approached by any casting agents. I think you've got a wonderful face and a warm friendly smile.
Chris FadalaPosted by:
Thanks for this wonderful insight on your work, Beau! Very enjoyable, very interesting and very inspiring!
Jacob Ekstroem,
totally un-worthy Danish vo guy
Stephanie -
Thanks for posting this, and Beau - what an awesome video!
The thing I notice as I watch many videos from talent in the industry - humility plus never 'taking themselves too seriously', and a sense of thankfulness and a desire to pass it on to others who are up and coming.
Very Very cool. Thanks again! - stu

Travel Crib Light
- Simple to set up and fold up
- Easy to take with you
- Soft and comfy mattress
- Removable and washable travel crib material
- Can be used for babies and children aged 0–3 years
We know that cribs being lightweight and simple is high up on the wish list for families of small children looking to travel. We had that in mind when we developed the first version of our Travel Crib Light in 2006 too. The idea was that there shouldn't be a bunch of loose parts that were a hassle to put together after you arrive at your destination and that required assembly. It was also important that it not be unwieldy and heavy to carry along.
After testing countless prototypes, we came up with a unique design that enables you to set up and fold up the crib in record time, while simultaneously being easy to carry and take along. We naturally wanted to keep these advantages intact when we redeveloped our travel crib.
Feeling safe and secure is a pre-condition for being able to sleep well, both at home and away. Being able to see what is going on outside from inside the bed, as well as, as a parent, being able to see in and keep an eye on your child, felt very important when we redeveloped our travel crib. This is why our new version was given an airy mesh fabric all the way down to the floor.
The crib also needs to be cozy and comfortable for sweet dreams on the road. We picked out an extra soft fabric and upgraded the crib's mattress as well. The huge mattress is unusually thick (in comparison to other travel cribs) so that it will be really comfortable to sleep on. It has a built-in base that makes it stay steadily in place in the crib. To be on the safe side, we also made sure that it can be attached with a simple device at the bottom.
Our user surveys have taught us that our travel crib is not only used for travel, but also for short day or evening outings – basically when baby needs to go to sleep before going home. Many people have confined living spaces and fold it up in between sleeping hours. Others think that their child sleeps better in the travel crib than in a traditional crib, since the child cannot bump into anything hard or get their arms and legs stuck between the rails.
We have taken one step in our goal of making life easier for parents with small children. With its thick and sturdy mattress, our travel crib is cozy and comfortable to sleep in when away from the safe walls of home. The bed's airy mesh fabric makes it easy for parents to keep an eye on their children and it is just as easy as before to set up, fold up and carry along. Let the adventure begin!

Remember the 15 year old girl who got a bullet to her head in Pakistan for daring to promote education? Well…take a look at the article below….5 WOMEN teachers! Murdered! And why? my guess is because they dared to be women and dared to teach.
I can't help but think of Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. I interviewed and spoke to her many times before she was assassinated on December 27, 2007. We had many discussions about her country and about education. Because of our close age, and friends in common, we had much to talk about. PM Bhutto was educated in the United States (Radcliffe College at Harvard) (with women I know) and she had a strong appreciation for education for women. She returned to Pakistan after many years in exile with a goal to help her country. It didn't quite work out that way for her….
(Consider this…..as we leave Afghanistan, the Taliban moves back in full force. They are the ones who in about 1994 took over Afghanistan and moved it towards very strict Sharia law. What is going to happen to the women and girls? No…I don't have the answer….but I sure can spot the obvious growing crisis …)
Gunmen kill 5 teachers, 2 others, in ambush in Pakistan
Published January 01, 2013
| Associated Press
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Gunmen killed five female teachers and two other people on Tuesday in an ambush on a van carrying workers home from their jobs at a community center in northwest Pakistan, officials said.
The van was transporting teachers and aid workers from the center in conservative Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Two health workers, one man and one woman, were also killed and the driver was wounded.
The attack was a reminder of the risks faced by educators and aid workers, especially women, in an area where Islamic militants often target women and girls trying to get an education. Many militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province oppose female education and have blown up schools and killed female educators as a way to discourage girls from getting an education.
In a case in the same province that gained international attention, a Taliban gunman shot 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai in the head last October for criticizing the militants and promoting girls' education. She is currently recovering in Britain.
The workers were on their way home from a community center in the town of Swabi where they were working at a primary school and adjoining medical center. Gunmen on motorcycles opened fire with automatic weapons, said Javed Akhtar, executive director of the non-governmental organization Support With Working Solutions.
The NGO conducts programs in the education and health sectors and runs a primary school and a medical clinic at the community center in Swabi, he said.
He provided the details on who was killed.
Swabi police chief Abdur Rasheed said most of the women killed were between the ages of 20 and 22. He said the four gunmen who used two motorcycles fled the scene and have not been apprehended.
No group has claimed responsibility for the incident.

Your Field Guide to Spotting Cerberus
Um, you're looking for Cerberus? You do know that he's a three-headed hellhound with lion claws and a mane of snakes, right? Okay, well as long as you're clear on that. You'll find Cerberus down in the Underworld—he belongs to Hades, Lord of the Dead, so where else would he be? He's usually prowling around the mouth of the River Acheron, the River Styx, or he's at the Gates of Hades where he makes sure that no spirits of the dead try to take a vacation in the land of the living. He isn't real keen on visitors, so we suggest you either learn to play him a sweet song to calm him down or bring him a honey cake—his favorite doggy treat. You seriously need to have some kind of plan for charming this pooch, or you might just end up making the Land of the Dead your permanent home.

AMD FX-Vishera Processors to Bring 7% IPC and 7% Frequency Improvement over FX-Bulldozer
AMD's marketing manager Brent Barry, confirmed in a interview with Tigerdirect that the upcoming AMD FX-Vishera processors would bring about 7% IPC, 7% Frequency and upto 15% more efficient than the FX-Bulldozer processors.
Powered by the Piledriver x86 core architecture, the second generation AMD FX-Vishera would get a speed bump of 7% and the fastest Octa-Core FX-8350 would feature a Turbo Core frequency of 4.2 GHz whilst running at 4.0 GHz standard clock speed. Power efficiency would also be improved by 15% however TDP still ceases to remain set at the 125W limit (same as FX-Bulldozer). Additionally, the CPU along with the other Octa-core CPU's would feature an 8 MB L3 Cache.
Taking in account the 7% IPC improvement and 7% Core clock bump, the second generation AMD FX-Vishera would most likely end up being faster than the Intel Sandy Bridge processors if not the Ivy bridge. However given the overclocking capabilities of the Piledriver core as indicated by the Trinity 7GHz world record, the CPU would end up becoming more favorable by enthusiasts and overclockers.
AMD FX-Vishera Availability and Pricing:
Brent further confirms that the AMD FX-Vishera is indeed coming out this month with chances of launch on 23rd October and would be targeted towards the pure hardcore audience. Price would end up being in the sub-$250 range. You can also check out preliminary benchmarks of the FX-8350 here.

MUMBAI: The buzz around Indian Premier League's (IPL) Hyderabad franchise, Deccan Chargers, going on sale has grown louder over the last couple of weeks. The prime suitor for the team, a 100 % subsidiary of Deccan Holdings, is said to be Ahmedabad-based Adani Group, which had bid for the Pune franchise in the 2010 team auctions.
An official close to the development, who did not wish to be named, confirmed that Deccan has been open to the idea of sale for quite some time now. ''As a group primarily involved in the business of media and publication they have been doing well in the south of India. In such a thriving scenario, it was becoming difficult for them to manage another business and hence the decision to sell.''

PharmSource recently completed a major analysis of the clinical supply chain market. We modeled the spend for clinical trial material (CTM) development and manufacturing, including process development and manufacturing for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), formulation and manufacturing of dosage forms, and associated analytical activities. We conducted extensive interviews with both buyers and sellers of clinical supply chain services to understand the key behaviors and trends driving the industry. The analysis goes into considerable depth on analytical chemistry activities.
OUTSOURCING HIGHLY PENETRATEDThe PharmSource analysis estimates industry-wide annual expenditures on CTM development and manufacture (small and large molecules) at about $9.3 billion, divided almost evenly among process and formulation development, analytical development and testing, and manufacture of CTM. The biggest bucket of spending is in early development (preclinical and Phase 1), thanks to the large number of projects in the pipeline and the high cost of API characterization and process development, especially for large-molecule compounds.
Of the $9.3 billion in total expenditures, the development and clinical-scale manufacture of large-molecule candidates account for nearly 60% of the total, or $5.4 billion. The development and clinical manufacture of APIs account for 90% of that $5.4 billion expenditure, with development of the drug product (dosage form) accounting for the rest of the spending.
The most revealing aspect of our analysis is the degree to which contract services have already penetrated the clinical supply chain. We estimate that as much as two-thirds of CTM development and manufacturing expenditures are already outsourced. That's a much larger proportion than we expected when we started our analysis. The principal source of contract services' large share is the small and mid-size bio/pharma companies, which account for 88% of the outsourced spend. Small- and mid-size bio/pharma companies tend to be highly dependent on contract services and account for 75% of the candidates in the new drug development pipeline. By contrast, the large global bio/pharmaceutical companies, which account for a quarter of the new drug pipeline, make up just 12% of outsourced spend.
The PharmSource model clearly highlights the dilemma faced by contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). They benefitted greatly as the number of early development candidates grew to over 6,000 at the end of 2008, a 55% increase from 1999, and are now suffering as the number of compounds slips back. Faced with a shortage of capital, early-stage companies have been forced to halt work on many candidates and expend funds on remaining candidates more cautiously. Our model projects that a 20% drop in the number of early development candidates would result in a 10–15% drop in outsourced development spending, which is in line with what we are seeing now.
Our model points to some substantial upside opportunities for the large-molecule segment of the market, however. The continuing shift in mix from small- to large-molecule compounds will likely be a significant boon to the contract services industry. We expect that if large molecules grow to 30% of the pipeline from their current 22%, total outsourced development spend will grow by 15%. Of course, where that spending takes place will shift as well. CDMOs specializing in large-molecule API characterization, process development, and manufacture will increase their market share while small-molecule API manufacturers will lose share.
Of course, which companies will be around to participate in the growing biologics market opportunity is still open to question. The contract services market is going through a significant restructuring as it adjusts to changing realities in the world of finance and the bio/pharmaceutical industry. We have already seen one contract biomanufacturer go out of business (QSV Biologics) and one other shut down its manufacturing operations (Wuxi Apptec, which continues to offer cell line development and analytical services). There will be significant opportunities for contract service providers as we come out of the restructuring process, but there will definitely be winners and losers.

MUMBAI: India's no. 1 software exporter Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) crossed $4 billion in revenues for FY07, egged on by another quarter of good sales and profit growth. The company beat estimates to post a 38.5% year-on-year growth in software revenues at Rs 5,162 crore and a 44% growth in net profit at Rs 1,195.19 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007. The company has proposed a final dividend of Rs 4 per share, taking total dividend for FY07 to Rs 11.50 per share.
However, other income helped boost total revenues and profits during the quarter. Other income shot up to Rs 104.82 crore from Rs 38.18 crore in the previous quarter on the sale of its stake in Sitel, its BPO joint venture, for $22 million. Excluding the other income, its profit before tax would have grown by only 3.8% sequentially. Inclusive of the other income, the PBT grew 8.9% sequentially.

The full-length UK trailer for 'Monsters University' promises the company's broadest comedy yet
It's funny to see people talking now about Pixar as if they've toppled in some way over the last few years. In the lead-up to "Cars 2," they seemed invincible, the golden hit-making machine that somehow managed to pull off quality every time while also making choices that kept racking up ginormous international box-office.
"Cars 2" seemed to shake some people's faith, though, and the general reaction to this summer's "Brave" seemed to be indifference among most people I spoke to. For the first time, the big brains at Pixar seemed human-scale, and there's been a subtle but genuine shift in the tenor of how people write about them. Gone is the reverence, and maybe that is, in the end, better for everyone.
After all, being on a pedestal is hard for anyone. It almost guarantees a fall at some point. The crushing weight of expectation can get into an artist's head, even a team as confident as the storytellers at Pixar, and the yips almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy after a while. Because it is inevitable everyone eventually screws up, you end up waiting for that moment.
Let's be honest, though… if "Cars 2" and "Brave" are the "worst" things you release as a company, your batting average is still ridiculously high. And while I'm not sure sequels are the answers to the company's sense of creative stall right now, the full-length trailer for "Monsters University" promises a very silly, very funny film. One of the main strengths of Pixar's work has been the fast and furious sense of humor in many of their movies, and if this film delivers on that promise, that should be enough to entertain most audiences.
What I'm curious about now is whether or not they deliver more with the film. The creators referred to "Revenge Of The Nerds" as one of the touchstones for their film, but it looks like the real thematic drive of the film has to do with finding your place in the world. Obviously these family-oriented films don't have to deal with larger films to be good. There's plenty of room for simple entertainment, especially dealing with younger audiences, but when the films deal with something larger, something that helps them at an age they're trying to figure out the way things work, that's a bonus, and I like the idea that this is about adjusting your expectations as you start to settle into your identity.
And did I mention it looks hilarious? Because it does.
"Monsters University" opens in theaters everywhere , 2013.

cappuccino, the new yorker magazine - sarabeth's - upper west side [L]
The Smurfette is back on the blog after a little Easter break. A staycation, to be exact. See, I have a very special knack for taking days off on rainy days only. I hope you all had a great time and treated yourself to some good Belgian chocolates. Yes, I have to do my part to impact our balance of commerce positively. I am a good citizen that way.
A rainy day, the baby Leica, a capuccino and The New Yorker magazine, these were the factors that pushed me to partake in an extreme session of "testing the settings" this morning. I'm slowly starting to understand what all those little buttons do.
Exhibit one (here above): The New Yorker Magazine article in question is titled A Fine Rage, by James Wood. I thought the illustration of the angry British author drinking tea was the perfect repartee to my cappucino.
Exhibit two: all eyes on the coffee bubbles!
Exhibit three: eyes on the angry dude!
Exhibit four: no more sugar.
As you can see, this is a great day: three successful close ups. Feel my joy.

Wilderness 1480
Home-built from plans or kit
- Brand:
- Schionning
- Designed by:
- Schionning Designs
- Description:
The Wilderness 1480 is very similar to the shorter models in the range, though the longer hulls create more internal volume and an even lower wave drag with a length-to-beam ratio of 14:1. The payload of 1.9 tons is modest for this length of boat, but quite adequate for a fast cruiser where performance is a priority. The bridgedeck is 0.95 m (3 ft 1 in) above the waterline allowing a good margin for wave clearance.
Home and professional builders can buy plans or pre-cut kits of the Wilderness 1480. There are three different roomy internal layouts for the boat amd there are pre-cut furniture kits available for all of them.
The standard plans are for an aluminium mast and boom, although Schionning Designs have developed an easy method for home builders to make carbon spars at much less than the usual cost. Plans for these are extra. There are several options for helm location, port, starboard, and central as well as dual wheels. The plans include several very effective and cost saving features. There is a composite wheel and a composite sheave system with spectra line for a very reliable and economical steering system home builders can make themselves. A strikerless forward beam, and all composite chain plates improve looks, strength and save a lot of money.
The Wilderness Range
The Schionning Wilderness range of cruising cats is especially designed for simple and quick home or professional construction. Most of the boats, including the hard chine hulls and the furniture, are built from joining ready-made, pre-glassed balsa or foam cored flat panels, for example, from DuraKore. These can purchased as pre-cut kits, available in several options, for most models in the series.
The range has good load carrying potential as fits its purpose as a cruiser, yet hulls are slender enough at the waterline to give a very good speed potential. A generous bridgedeck clearance helps avoid slamming when sea conditions deteriorate. The hulls are flat bottomed, as natural in a chine catamaran construction. The flat run aft encourages planing – but the bottom panel is Veed forward to prevent noisy under-hull slamming. The hulls are also flared forward, on the inside, giving additional buoyancy reserve and thus more safety at sea. The flare also helps to deflect spray from reaching the decks.
Though built mainly of flat panels, the Wilderness range does not have the angular look of a chined boat. Compound curves are strategically incorporated both to improve appearance and to reduce air drag. The deck sections are strip-planked using the already constructed parts as a mould; this allows the decks to be rounded on the turn of the hull. Strip planking the bridgedeck cabin roof also produces similar beneficial curves.
- Type:
- Performance cruiser
- Multihull type:
- Catamaran
- Construction:

3 potential buyers interested in Rentech land
$8.5M price tag set for 478 acres in Adams County
Rentech is asking $8.5 million for the 478 acres in Adams County where it once planned to build an alternative fuels plant to convert coal into liquid.
Natchez real estate broker Glenn Green, one of the three listed on the property, told the Natchez Democrat that has been some offers on the property but declined to discuss them.
Green said the property is also listed with brokers in New Orleans and in Colorado
Natchez Inc. Executive Director Chandler Russ says three potential buyers are in play.
The former International Paper property is located near the Natchez-Adams County Port.
Rentech brought the property in 2008. Adams County brokered the deal and netted $2.9 million in the process of the land sale. The final sales price was not disclosed.

Binary systems share stardust
Nov 19, 2009 2 comments
Telescopes now routinely yield detailed images of the cosmos, and in the process help unravel some of the mysteries surrounding our own existence. But one big unanswered question is how the Earth and our planetary neighbours were created from the primordial dust surrounding the young Sun.
In the past two decades we have come to understand that stars form "protoplanetary disks" with radii that can reach up to several hundred times the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth. Astrophysicists have studied the structure of such disks at several radiation wavelengths, which has led to a growing understanding of the star-formation process.
However, most stars form in pairs (and sometimes more complex groups) and numerical models produce conflicting results because of the complex dynamical interaction of two cosmological bodies. Our understanding has also been held back by a lack of direct observations of such systems.
This image reveals a rare glimpse of a young multiple protoplanetary disk encircling a two-star system located 160 ps away in the Ophiuchus constellation around the celestial equator. Having pinpointed the binary system, the researchers led by Satoshi Mayama of the Graduate University for Advanced Studies, Japan, placed a coronograph over the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. This enabled them to filter out the direct light from the twin stars and reveal two individual protoplanetary disks bridged by a complex interaction.
Comparison with numerical models suggests that there could be a channelling of debris from one disk to the other – a finding that the researchers say might reveal where planets can form in binary systems (Science 10.1126/science.1179679).
As the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) draws to a close, its organisers must be delighted at the huge attention given over the last 12 months to a field that has come so far since Galileo turned his primitive instrument to the Moon 400 years ago.

Between $24,000 needed for new uniforms and the high costs of band camp, performances and equipment, the Marietta High School band is reaching out to the community for needed support with a variety of fundraising activities.
The 100 plus-member band is trying to purchase uniforms to replace the current 20-year-old jackets for the Wall of Sound, a big expense for the MHS Band Boosters in addition to individual students paying for band camp, shoes and more.
Seven different fundraisers will be held throughout spring that anyone in the community can support, with proceeds going into the boosters' general funds as well as individual student band bank accounts.

Members of the Marietta High School Wall of Sound perform during a fall football game.
"We have a lot of other costs to fund other aspects of the band, and once you add (uniforms) to the mix, it's tough, and with all that we really need the extra money," said Randy Lisk, president of the MHS Band Boosters.
Lisk said the group hopes to spread the word about the fundraisers, as there are plenty of alumni, parents and community members whom he thinks are willing to provide support.
"There are a lot of great kids and they really try to excel and represent the community the best they can," he said. "We have a well-known program throughout the state and it's nice to be able to help the kids much as we can."
Beginning April 1 and running until the 25th, band members are selling Yankee Candles, with 40 percent of the proceeds going into the student's individual band bank account.
On May 2, the band's third annual Wall of Sound Fundraising Dinner will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Marietta Shrine Club at $25 a person with full catering and entertainment.
"It's always a big social event and everyone always has a lot of fun," said Suzan Warner, vice president of the Band Boosters. "There are band parents and alumni and people from the community, and it's growing every year."
Going on now until April 23 is the band's Hanging Flower Basket Sale, where $5 from each $16 or $17 basket sold will go into student accounts.
New this year to help pay for uniforms, Wendy's Community Day on April 28 from 4 to 8 p.m. is another chance for the community to support the band by just eating at the Muskingum or Pike Street locations. A portion of all sales will go toward the band boosters.
Also for the spring, the band will hold its seventh annual Sweet Jazz concert on May 5 in the MHS Cafeteria. Tickets are $5 per person and patrons can enjoy music, desserts and a basket raffle.
"The community can help invest in these kids to get them to camp or purchase other needed items," Warner said. "As long as students are willing to do the work, it's not as much of a financial burden on the parents."
Cost for band camp at Cedar Lake over the summer is about $275, an expense that students and families pay themselves and through fundraising. The price for camp keeps increasing, and band parents said the students need all the help they can get.
Christine Lisk, a band booster member, said though every extracurricular program receives some money to run from the school, the money can only go so far.
"It's not near enough to take care of what we need to do to keep the band going," she said.
Fundraising will continue into early summer in the form of more partnerships with local eateries to provide portions of sales to the band's general fund.
"It's a lot of work, and you have to put a lot of effort into fundraising," said Tyler Palmer, 16, a sophomore on the band's drum line. "But I'm excited to get the new uniforms."

We had our NT scan yesterday. The NT measurement is fine (1.2mm, which puts us at less than 1:7000 risk for Down's).... but....
there seems to be something wrong with the baby's skull. The doctor had a hard time getting a good look, but he thinks the baby's skull is under-calcified. He has no idea what that means and said it could be nothing or it could be something. He referred met to a detailed scan with an expert. (Oddly, he gave me his cell phone number and asked me to update with what ends up happening)
Of course, my scan was Thursday evening, and everything is closed for the weekend. I have to wait until Sunday to call and try to set this up.
Annoyingly, my doctor is a high-risk u/s specialist - but he is out of the country for the week! I'll call his office on Sunday morning and see what they recommend to do.
I never ever ever thought this would be a problem. I worried about miscarrying and about pre-term labor -- but I never worried that the baby wouldn't be okay -- why does something DIFFERENT have to happen every time?
I'm so angry and numb and sad. This could be nothing... but it could be everything...
it's nothing!
30 min scan looking at the baby's head and everything looks 100% fine!
Phew. Big sigh of relief. Now onto the cerclage on Thursday...

The Experience
With the Stumpjumper FSR, Specialized took the bike out of the thought process of a technical trail. You know the bike can do it, but can you? There is only one way to find out. Your gearing is right so you start your attack on the single track climb. It's loose with some baby head rocks, but you keep hammering up. The middle of the next 180 degree switchback has a rock shelf stepping up about a foot and a half, so you set up wide and turn in late so you can try to attack it straight on. You lift the front wheel and go for it. You have good placement so you give it a strong pedal kick to get the back end up and over. You are almost to the top, but have to grind the last bit out through the rutted trail. You make it to the top, amazed that you did it without dabbing a foot, but it is too early to celebrate. The tail has already turned and you are heading back down. Again, the dirt is loose, baby head rocks are chasing you down the trail and now as you go into the trees, the leaves aren't helping your traction situation. You check the brakes, but release them before you go into the off camber left so you can maintain what traction there is. The trail gets steeper and faster and up ahead is a short rock garden. You have a smooth line picked out through it but at the last second see a tree root to boost off of and decide to gap the garden completely. The trail continues on as your legs and forearms pump full of lactic acid, but this is no time to think about that, you need to stay focused. It starts to level out and it looks to be heading back up, but you aren't sure so you take a squirt of water and charge forward, ready for what is ahead.
The Frame
Obviously, the Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon 29er frame is light and stiff. That has always been one of the compelling reasons to get on a Stumpjumper. Over the years, Specialized has refined their flagship bike's geometry and trail feel into what it is today – one of the most advanced trail bikes on the market. Constructed out of FACT 9m carbon fiber, it is one of the lightest and stiffest frames on the market. The frame has dedicated 29er geometry, meaning that Specialized didn't simply take the 26 inched wheels Stumpjumper and stretch it out to fit the bigger wheels on it. They designed the bike, from the ground up, around the 29 inch wheels so the bike still feels balanced and capable. Specialized also equipped the pivots with full-cartridge bearings that last longer and move smoother than standard bushings. The Stumpjumper FSR frame is also designed with a PF30 bottom bracket. When the PF30 BB came out, we all were saying, "Great, another BB type to worry about." But the PF30 quickly and convincingly showed everyone that it should be the only standard. The larger interface offers larger bearings that aide in smoother turning of the cranks, longer life of the bearings, and better power transfer to the rear wheel to help you sprint ahead or get to the top of that steep climb. With the low BB height and the slack head tube angle of the frame, the Stumpjumer FSR corners like it is on rails. It's all about how far you are comfortable pushing it. With 130mm of travel in the rear, there isn't much that a trail could throw at you that the bike can't handle.
The Suspension
Specialized has truly spared no expense to keep this bike in a class of its own. The legendary, patented Specialized FSR suspension system has been around for a long time and has been a staple of Specialized. What FSR (Future Shock Rear) gives you is a vertical axle path that isolates the suspension from any influences from your pedals or to your pedals. What that means to you is that you have fully active suspension 100% of the time allowing the bike to work with you, not against you. By separating pedal influence from your suspension, you don't get any pedal bob or suspension lock out. That is the pitfall of some other suspension designs. When you start to pedal, on those designs, you can either induce suspension compression (pedal bob) which means less of your pedal power is getting to the rear wheel driving you forward, or in other designs the opposite can happen and the suspension gets stiffer while you are pedaling. When that happens, you get less traction in the rough stuff. With FSR, that doesn't happen. Your rear wheel is free to respond to the terrain you are riding 100% of the time, giving you traction and better power output.
Specialized refined FSR even further thanks to the custom-designed FOX/Specialized Brain Fade shock with AUTOSAG and a Kashima coating. AUTOSAG is an ingenious system that makes dialing in your suspension setting easier than ever. Just pump up the shock to 20-30psi above your weight, sit on the bike, let out the extra pressure from the blow-off valve, and you're air pressure for the rear shock is set. If you are not familiar with the Brain Fade shock system, it is an inertia valve that automatically turns the suspension "on" and "off" instantaneously to always provide the perfect ride. The inertia valve is mounted inside a near-vertical cylinder near the rear axle. The inertia valve controls the shock's ability to compress; the resulting system responds to terrain input (bumps and dips), but not to rider input (pedaling). Forces from the ground activate the inertia valve inside the Brain, which opens and allows the shock to absorb bumps. By using the blue dial on top of the Brain cylinder, you can control the breakaway threshold of the inertia valve in your Brain from stiff and efficient to super plush and active and anywhere in between, giving you the ability to tune your suspension to your riding style and the terrain you are riding.
Up front, the FOX Float CTD Evolution 29 fork features 130mm of travel, rebound, and lockout adjustments. The CTD variable stiffness settings allow you to precisely change the ride feel at the flick of a switch. Leave it on Climb for attacking up the hill, Trail for all-around ripping, and Descend for ultimate downhill control. Add the front and rear together, and you've got an unbeatable suspension setup to tackle your favorite off-road Bay Area locale.
The Components
The Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon 29 comes equipped with a Shimano XTR and XT 2x10 speed drivetrain with a SRAM X7 front derailleur. Accompanying the drivetrain is SRAM's carbon S-2200 mountain cranks (36/22t chainrings) which are incredibly light and very stiff. For wheels, it is spec'd with the Roval Control Carbon 29 142+ wrapped with a Specialized tubeless ready Purgatory Control tire up front and Ground Control in the rear. These feathery light, hand-built hoops feature precise DT Swiss hub internals, 22mm wide carbon tubeless, hookless rims, and buttery smooth sealed cartridge bearings. The result: an all-carbon trail wheelset light enough to race on, and strong enough to take on the toughest trails you can find. And while on those trails you will not have to worry about getting the bike stopped either. Equipped with Shimano XT disc brakes (rotor sizes vary with frame size) you have all the power you need to get the bike stopped. But that isn't everything in a brake. Control over that power, known as modulation, is also important. You don't want the wheels to lock. You want to control how fast you are slowing down, and Shimano brakes are some of the best in both categories. Also adding to the Stumpy's trial performance is an internally activated Command Post IR adjustable height seat post so you can change the seat height on the fly with the remote mounted on the bars so you can adjust the bike to the trail as you go.
How does it Climb?
As you could expect from the weight and stiffness of the Stumpjumper FSR, it climbs like a dream. The components spec of the bike offers you all the gear ratios necessary to tackle any climb while at the same time keeping the weight down by having less physical gears. The stand out thing about how this bike climbs is the suspension. By being able to adjust the travel on the fork, tune it through the CTD settings and through the Specialized Brain rear shock, you have a pedaling platform that is second only to the Specialized Epic, which is their bike designed much more around climbing than all around trail riding like the Stumpjumper. You can feel each pedal stock propelling you forward. Even when the trail turns into something out of a disaster movie, the bike is able to easily navigate through it. Just keep pedaling and keep your forward momentum and there isn't much you can't get up.
How does it Descend?
With the dedicated 29er geometry of the Stumpjumper FSR 29, the bike is nimble and easy to handle, which is exactly what you want while descending. You want to have complete control over your bike and being able to make it do what you want, when you want. With the low bottom bracket and slacker head angle the bike is very stable at high speeds and while leaned over in a corner. The larger 29 inch wheels help with stability due to their larger gyroscopic effect while rotating, while the tires offer better traction due to having more contact with the ground vs. a 26 in wheel. That and the fact that the wheel base of this 29er is only 1cm longer than the 26 inch wheeled version, again, makes the Stumpjumper FSR easy to flick around and smash through some of the most technical terrain out there. If the trail can be ridden down on a bike, the Stumpy will be able to do it too.
Final Opinion
For someone looking for a bike that can do everything, the Stumpjumper FSR is a fantastic choice. It is the bike that all others are compared to. It is one of the most capable bikes out there. It climbs like nothing else in the Trail Bike category and descends with the best of them. Are there bikes out there that climb better? Yes. Are there bikes out there that descend better? Yes. But there isn't much that can say it does both at the level that the Stumpy does. If you are looking for a longer travel trail bike that you can still climb strongly with, you do not need to look any further. This is it.

I am 45 years old, coming off of a 2008 Stumpjumper FSR Comp that I bought used in 2011. I have been an off road biker since the BMX days in the early 80's. I do the occasional race but most of my time on the bike is what I would consider trail riding. I have been shopping for the last two years and after MUCH consideration, I pulled the trigger on this one. About the bike: At first look in real life (very different than looking at pictures) you notice how tough it looks - everything looks oversized - the frame tubing, the bottom bracket, the 34mm forks. It just looks bomb proof. After riding, it feels like it looks. The 29 inch wheels seem to roll over ANYTHING. I have had many bikes over the years and have made them last longer than most people because of the way I ride - looking for the smoothest lines and unweighting and easing over obstacles. This bike has changed the way I ride. I just point the front wheel and go. Jumps and drops are like having a big pillow to land on because of the suspension. Having the dropper seat-post is like having two different bikes. In its lowest position, I feel like I am sitting between these two giant wheels and able to drop off anything. Whatever disadvantage there is to the bigger wheels compared to 26 inchers seems to be cancelled out with this seat-post. I have read some reviews about the Specialized seat-post not having the infinite adjustment but the three positions work great for me. Up all the way for my most efficient pedal position, the mid position for just about any downhill or rough terrain, and all the way down for crazy stuff. I like being able to go back to the same positions consistently. I will say I am a SRAM fan because of the shifters - I like the bigger shift contact and shifting up and down with my thumb. So I was pleasantly surprised with the dual action up-shift lever on the Shimano SLX shifters - can still do all shifting with my thumb. This purchase was a very hard sell to the Mrs. - was a lot of money to spend on a bike for me. I am not the rich jerk I keep hearing about. And I am sure the lesser SJ models would be just as capable. But one ride and you will know where your money went. So save your pennies, bag your lunch, keep driving that old car instead of buying the new one and get one of these if you can - you won't regret it!

I have been riding an older sworks carbon 26. After numerous injuries almost gave up riding. Then came the FSR. much easier on my body after ling rides no pain. 29er plus plush ride made me want to ride again. This Stumpy helps on the long Colorado Climbs and rocky downhills.
Best Uses
Bought this bike in Annapolis but only a few "shake-out" rides before taking it out to Marin California. There, my first major ride was the famous "Appetite Seminar", a 21 mile ride on Thanksgiving morning that includes the Pine Mountain Loop and Repack, the birth place of mountain biking. This new bike is just simply awesome! Balance, brakes, shifting, tires, suspension, all perfect! Last time I made this ride I burned 2,700 calories, this time even harder due to mud, mud, and more mud. No matter what you are riding now I would encourage you to give this bike a try to see what you are currently missing, the cutting edge of modern technology.
Best Uses
I test rode the camber and the aluminum version of this bike but the carbon with the brain is really great. I am not disappointed at all. I have taken on Mt [...] in [...] and [...]. fun all around.

CNN poll asks whether eyewitness testimony is reliable
On CNN's website, a poll is asking viewers/readers whether they believe eyewitness testimony is reliable. (Scroll down to the bottom left of the page to find it.)
Currently, 55 percent say no and 45 percent say yes.
In October, The Dallas Morning News published an investigation showing that faulty eyewitness testimony contributed to all but one of Dallas County's DNA exonerations since 2001.

Botanists have credentials, pull down a living wage (usually), and enjoy other perks of scientific training.
Power, however, is not one of these perks, unless you count a monkey wrench as one of the cool tools of the trade. But here, we're speaking figuratively.
You see, botanists, like many of their fellow scientists, can throw a monkey wrench into the best-laid plans of developers of things like buildings, dams, aqueducts, bridges. A botanist proclaiming that a rare, soon-to-be-extinct form of plant life will be crushed into oblivion by the construction of a multi-pronged theme park could spell the end of those grandiose plans, thanks to the site flunking the environmental impact report (called an EIR). And developers would all blame the debacle on the sweet, shy botanist who really would rather commune with flora, not fauna, and not spend time torpedoing EIRs. Also, expert testimony from a botanist about the difference between hemp and cannabis whatever can make or break a court case.
Not bad—for a botanist.

By Sgt Daniel Kyle Johnson (2nd BCT, 25th ID )January 17, 2012
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii -- Soldiers, Families and friends of the 25th Infantry Division gathered at the Martinez Gym here to observe the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday with a remembrance ceremony Jan. 17
"It was a privilege for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team to host an event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of justice, equality and service to one another, all of which are in line with our Army values," said Maj. Michelle Toyofuku, the Brigade Air Defense Artillery Officer.
The observance began with the traditional invocation and singing of the National Anthem, followed by a reading of the 2012 Presidential Proclamation of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday by Cpl. Sawyer Stubbe of the 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.
In the proclamation, President Barrack Obama said, "Today, Dr. King is memorialized on the National Mall where he once spoke, a symbol of how far our nation has come and a testament to the quiet heroes whose names may never appear in history books, but whose selflessness brought about change few thought possible."
Obama went on to say, "His example stirred men and women of all backgrounds to become foot soldiers for justice, and his leadership gave them the courage to refuse the limitations of the day and fight for the prospect of tomorrow."
Sgt. Savannah Hyatt, a combat medic with C Company, 225th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd BCT, echoed the sentiment with her rendition of 'Still I Rise.'
The song stressed the importance of resiliency in everyday life, an ideal very important in today's military both deployed and at home.
Following Hyatt's rendition, Chaplain (Cpt.) Terrell Byrd, 225th BSB, read Dr. King's 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.
"At the age of 35, Dr. King was the youngest man to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means," said Stubbe.
Before concluding the observance, Spc. Marissa Flanigan-Lee, of the 2nd Battalion, 11th Field Artillery, 2nd BCT, delivered a moving rendition of 'His Eyes on the Sparrow' for those gathered.
Sawyer closed the observance with these powerful words: "Let us remember Dr. King's legacy by honoring our fellow man with service each and every day. Let us devote our free time to helping someone in need. Let us continue to lift each other up as Dr. King wanted."

Ирвинг против Липштадт
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Irving's response >
The case for the Defendants
5.236The Defendants make no complaint of what Irving did quote from Ribbentrop's notes. But they do criticise him severely for his omission to quote the immediately following passage which reads:The Defendants say that this editing of Ribbentrop's notes is indefensible. They further criticise Irving for not questioning the reliability of Ribbentrop as a source, given his unwavering loyalty to Hitler and his own demonstrably false claim to have been unaware of the fate awaiting the Jews after their deportation.
"On the other hand, judging from [Hitler's] Last Will, one must suppose that he at least knew about it, if, in his fanaticism against the Jews, he didn't also order [it]".
5.237Further the Defendants allege that Irving has unjustifiably ignored the account by the prison psychologist at Nuremberg, Dr Gilbert, of his conversation with Ribbentrop in which the latter appears to concede that Hitler may have ordered the extermination of the Jews in 1941. Evans asserted that Irving has also ignored the transcript of a conversation in which Ribbentrop tells a British officer how in 1944 he discussed with Hitler the atrocities taking place in the camps.
5.238The consequence of Irving's carefully selected quotation together with his omission of other quotations is that the reader is given a wholly distorted impression of Ribbentrop's view of the knowledge of the Holocaust possessed by Hitler.

The Academy made the rare choice this year of having ceremony host Seth MacFarlane also announce the Oscar nominees, giving viewers a taste of what's to come February 24. And that taste elicited some laughs, some wariness, and a lot of genuine discomfort from all around the world of Hollywood. In the pre-6 a.m. hour this morning, MacFarlane came out swinging with jokes about actresses having sex with Harvey Weinstein and the relationship between Amour, a quiet movie about a dying woman, and Hitler.

Christmas Lingerie Giveaway: What Katie Did Bespoke Corset
It's officially holiday season and that means it's time to give away some gorgeous lingerie!
If you've been reading The Lingerie Addict for any length of time, you're probably familiar with the name What Katie Did. For the last 13 years, they've been the leader in 'faux-vintage' lingerie — what I like to call pin-up or retro style. Their pieces have been featured on dozens of stars and in numerous magazines; chances are, if it's a big name, they've worn What Katie Did.
But even more than that, What Katie Did is an amazing brand for the non-celebrity types like you and me. They were one of the first brands I purchased from way back when I started The Lingerie Addict, and they're still one of my favorite labels… especially for quality, off-the-rack corsets. Which is why I'm so incredibly excited about this giveaway.
You see, dear readers, What Katie Did is now letting you 'Design Your Own Corset' on their site!
This feature has actually been around awhile in the form of a custom order sheet and quote, but with over a million possible combinations, it was a little well… clunky. Now, you're able to pick the perfect corset right on their website… from the shape to the color to the trims and fabrics, you can have your own unique What Katie Did creation. Katie (yes, there actually is a Katie behind What Katie Did) is able to offer this service because all their corsets are handmade, and it takes no more time to sew a custom corset than it does to sew a plain black one… other than picking out the bolt of fabric you've chosen!
Excited yet? Here are the details!
You have the opportunity to win one made-to-order, design your own corset from What Katie Did. There are no maximum values. Whatever size you want, whatever shape you want, whatever fabric you want… it's yours. The possibilities are amazing. And yes, this giveaway is open internationally!
Enough chit-chat. Here's how you can enter:
- Leave a comment with your ideal What Katie Did Corset below. This entry is mandatory.
- Follow What Katie Did on Facebook.
- Follow What Katie Did on Tumblr.
- Follow What Katie Did on Pinterest.
- Become a Very Important Addict.
Please use the Rafflecopter widget at the bottom of this post for all your entries so we can keep track of them. The What Katie Did Christmas Lingerie Giveaway ends next November 20th at 11:59 p.m. The contest winner will be chosen at random on November 25th and publicly posted to The Lingerie Addict. The contest winner must respond within 48 hours to claim their prize or a new winner will be chosen.
Thanks so much for reading The Lingerie Addict and good luck!

returned from chautauqua
09 aug 1999
oh well. this morning got home to boston at 7am after a long drive back from chautauqua lake. waited in aj's car outside rule broadcast to return some brick batteries, just happened to be that zbigniew was gonna be there to meet someone else anyway, so we lucked out. then i heard from eric fiedler who had called sunday, after i'd been vividly thinking of him and telling aj about him saturday night, and even drew a picture of him at the bar in chautauqua.
saw a book called "depression" or "understanding depression" in the osco drugstore and thought that would be a really faux pas birthday gift for one person to give another.
today i heard, from d, who had seen it on TV somewhere, that there are lots of juveniles lately throwing rocks from highway bridges, causing accidents that paralyze people for life. blunt force trauma. one wonders why they do it. she said some people just enjoy hurting other people, it's like revenge for whoever hurt them.

With a sore right knee keeping Jorge Gutierrez sidelined for tonight's game against UCLA and Saturday's matchup with USC, Cal coach Mike Montgomery said it's up to others to provide the "energy rush" off the bench the Bears typically get from their sophomore sixth man.
Gutierrez had his second MRI in two weeks Monday, and it showed no damage beyond the problems he continues to have after surgery last spring to have some meniscus cartilage tissue removed from his knee.
"He's got some issues in there with not enough cushioning," Montgomery said. "He just came down wrong and traumatized the knee, so it's barking back at him."
Barring a "miraculous recovery," Gutierrez won't be available for USC, either, but he will not require surgery. Montgomery said he's hoping the 6-foot-3 guard can play next week when the Bears visit Washington State and Washington.
The Golden Bears (9-4, 1-0 in Pac-10) will try to snap a five-game losing streak to UCLA (6-8, 1-1), which arrives in the Bay Area with a losing record for the first time since the 2002-03 season, the year before Ben Howland became the Bruins coach.
"They're a young team," Cal senior Theo Robertson said, "but they're still UCLA."
Montgomery hopes his bench delivers in the same fashion it did Saturday, when reserve players contributed 40 points to a 92-66 rout of Stanford, but conceded, "It's easier to play from a lead."
Still, someone needs to fill the void left by Gutierrez, whose defensive intensity has game-changing capacity. Montgomery said he talked with subs Omondi Amoke, Nikola Knezevic, Brandon Smith and D.J. Seeley about providing the hustle and energy Gutierrez displays.
"It's hard to replace a guy like Jorge, just because of the intangibles he brings," Montgomery said.
Robertson, a senior forward from De La Salle High, said he didn't even know he was approaching the milestone until someone told him this week. But it's a tribute to Robertson's perseverance through two hip surgeries and a foot injury that cost him six games this season that he will become the Bears' 39th player to reach 1,000 points.
"It's something I'm proud of ... but to be honest, all that doesn't mean a lot to me," he said. "In my eyes, it would mean more to my legacy, if you will, to go out as a senior (as) a Pac-10 champion."
Montgomery said he knew very little about Robertson before taking over as Cal's coach last season.
"He kind of surprised me," said Montgomery, who discovered a complete player who understands the game and is able to play two or three positions.
"That's why it hurt us so much when he went out," Montgomery said of Robertson's six-game absence this season. "In a lot of ways, Theo is as valuable as anybody we have because of his ability to do so many things for us."

No equipment is necessary for these three moves, from Megan Hoel with Penrose St. Francis:
One-Legged Lunge with a Twist:
Stand on your right foot and bend and lift your left knee off the ground. Twist your torso to the right side and bend your right knee while trying to touch the floor or the outside your right foot with your left hand. Return to standing position and repeat for eight to ten reps; when you are done, switch sides.
One-legged Bridge:
Lie on your back with your right knee bent, your right foot flat on the floor, and your left leg straight and in line with the right knee that is bent. Raise your hips off the floor as high as you can. Slowly lower down slightly, and repeat for 10 to 12 reps before switching sides.
One-Legged Wall Squat with Flye:
Stand with your back against the wall; bend your elbows 90 degrees at a shoulder level with your palms facing forward. Bend knees 90 degrees; lift left foot six inches off the floor. As your arms go forward, lift your left foot a little higher. Make sure to keep your left foot off the ground as you perform the flye. Return to starting position, and repeat for 10-15 reps.
