just an hour and a half from start to finish was quite reasonable, especially for pizza that tasted like it came all the way from Naples.
which came first, the dough recipe or the oven temperature. The author maintains that it was the dough that came first and then the right temperature was found for baking it.
Without intending to incite any emotions here, and I do mean this as a compliment, I think you have to consider the source and intended audience. Of those that read cooking literature, what percent are even interested in making a 'really good' pizza at home, much less try to meticulously recreate a style? And what tools and ingredients do they have readily available? You all are among the truly elite in terms of your passion and pursuits.
Bruce, you have no idea how profound your post is.... I just bought the Cooks Illustrated Guide to BBQ and Grilling as well as a Big Green Egg... for me I saw the CI book as a huge step up from being an absolute novice at bbq. If you have any tips for a good bbq resource I'd love to look into it!thanks!

Better Get It In Your Soul .. Mingus at St. Bart's
February 15, 2010. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Boris Kozlov, Charles Mingus, concerts, Gunther Schuller, Jazz Alive, Ku-umba Frank Lacy, Live Music, Mingus Orchestra, Sue Mingus
The low ceilings of several New York basements have put a lid on Mingus's music for a long time now. But this past Saturday night it was quite the opposite as the 11-piece Mingus Orchestra played music that stretched over a big footprint and soared into the domed cathedral of St. Bart's Church. As the concert progressed, it sounded better and better.

Communication and Perception
Communication in this highly social species is an area of great interest to human researchers. Chimpanzees in captivity have been involved in a number of experiments designed to show how their minds work with regard to signs, signals, and speech. In this account, communication in wild chimpanzees will be discussed first, followed by a discussion of what language studies in captivity have helped us to understand about these animals.
Visual Communication
Chimpanzees communicate with a wide variety of gestures, postures, and facial expressions. In addition, body language and physical cues are used in communication. (deWaal, 1982; Goodall, 1986)
Gestures such as arm raising, slapping the ground, or a direct stare are threatening signals used between individuals. Male courtship signals, like branch shaking or foot stamping, may be directed at particular female with whom he wishes to mate. Some facial expressions and vocalizations may also be directed at particular individuals. Loud arm scratching while looking at another individual may be interpreted as a request for grooming. (deWaal, 1982; Goodall, 1986)
When excited or fearful, chimps may show low closed grins, full closed grins, or open grins. Snears may also be shown in a fearful context. When the distress is less severe, communicative facial expressions include pouts and horizontal pouts. Compressed lips are often used in threatening displays, and play is generally accompanied by a "play face", in which the chimp has an open smile with top teeth covered. (deWaal, 1982; Goodall, 1986)
Erection of body hair (piloerection) is an important signal communicating excitement. It occurs in most chimps when a strange or frightening stimulus is encountered, during times of aggression, and in other contexts of social excitment. This bristling of the hair is an autonomic response, so it is not under the conscious control of an individual animal. It is a reliable signal of excitement in this species, just as blushing is a reliable signal of embarrassment in humans. (Goodall, 1986)
In times of fear induced by the behavior or presence of a dominant animal, chimpanzees never show piloerection. Instead, they have incredibly sleek hair, making them appear smaller. Also, the alpha male chimpanzee in a community, although not frightened or excited, almost always has bristled hair--making him appear even larger than he is. (Goodall, 1986)
The swelling of the anogenital skin of females clearly communicates their sexual state to other members of the community. Because the bright pink swelling is highly visible, even at a distance, and can be seen by all, it is considered a non-directed signal. (Goodall, 1986)
Auditory Communication
All chimpanzee vocalizations are closely tied to their emotions. Their vocalizations are usually spontaneous, signalling the excitment of arriving at a food source, greeting of old friends, or moments of acute fear or distress. However, producing a particular vocalizations without experiencing the underlying emotion seems to be a task that surpasses a chimpanzee's abilities. Conversely, chimps can learn through experience to suppress a particular call in contexts where the vocalizations may lead to an unwelcome result. (Goodall, 1986)
Chimpanzees can be quite vocal. They use a variety of grunts, barks, squeaks, whimpers, and screams. Each call is typically tied to a particular emotional context, such as fear, excitment, bewilderment, or annoyance, so that vocalizations provide information to other chimps about what is happening to other members of their community, even if they cannot see them directly. Subordinate animals direct pant-grunts at more dominant animals. During grooming, chimpanzees often lip-smack or tooth-clack. Play is often accompanied by laughter which, although very raspy-sounding to humans, is similar enough to our own laughter to be easily recognized. Some vocalizations (food grunts) attract other party members to an plentiful food source. Some louder vocalizations (food aaa calls) may attract other chimpanzees in the community from a greater distance. The famous "pant hoot" call of chimps seems to serve as a means of individual identification, and allows friends and family to locate one another even though they may not be within visual range. A detailed listing of calls made by the chimps of Gombe is available in Goodall (1986), and should be consulted by those wishing to know more about specific calls. (Goodall, 1986)
That chimpanzees understand the meaning of their vocalizations is clear from contexts in which they purposefully supress vocalizations. Although typically vocal--especially when traveling in groups-- male chimpanzees are almost entirely silent when they are performing a border patrol, or when raiding into the home range of a neighboring group. It is as if they understand that the success of their mission depends upon remaining covert, and that vocalizations will assuredly attract the notice of neighboring animals whom they would prefer to surprise. Similarly, during the course of a consortship, both male and female remain almost entirely silent. This silence may serve two different functions. First, it may prevent the pair from being discovered by other males in the community, disrupting the temporarily monogamous union. Second, because most consortships take place on the outskirts of the community's range, silence helps the consorting pair to avoid attracting the attention of neighboring males, who may themselves be out patrolling their borders. (Goodall, 1986)
Tactile Communication
Various forms of tactile communication occur between pairs of chimps. Physical contact helps to reassure distressed individuals, to placate aggressive individuals, and to appease stress. Embracing, patting, kissing, mounting, and touching all occur in a variety of contexts, including greetings, reconciliations, and reunions. As mentioned in the section on behavior, relaxed physical contact is provided by frequent bouts of social grooming. Such friendly contact helps to cement social bonds. Playful contact, such as finger wrestling or tickling may also occur. (deWaal, 1982; Goodall, 1986)
Although the bulk of physical contact seen in chimpanzees is friendly, there is also physical contact associated with aggression. Hitting, slapping, kicking, and biting also occur, as do pounding, dragging, and stamping. Although such aggressive physical contact usually occurs between two individuals as the result of a specific conflict, it may also sometimes be incidental, as when a chimpanzee is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and becomes incorporated into the display of a dominant or irritated individual. (Goodall, 1986)
Chemical Communication
Chimpanzees are very interested in smells, and seem to be using them in a variety of contexts. However, the degree to which they use smells, or the specific information they obtain from smells, is not known. Chimpanzees sniff and smell at the anogenital swellings of females. They smell the ground after a mother with a new infant has moved away, apparently trying to catch the scent of the newborn. Individual chimps may have unique odors, recognized by their fellows, but research on this point is lacking. Wild chimpanzees sometimes appear to use scent cues in tracking missing family members. Olfactory cues may be used in helping males to identifiy the approach of ovulation in females, although the specific mechanism or chemicals used for this have not been described. (Goodall, 1986)
Communication Studies in Captivity
Although wild chimpanzees have complex communication, they do not possess what we would call language. They do not use specific calls to identify specific objects or individuals. Indeed, they seem unable to produce vocalizations at will, instead uttering cries and calls as a result of impulsive emotions. However, in spite of having no true language, the mental function of chimpanzees is well developed and they possess many of the cognitive abilities necessary for language to develop, as studies of their acquisition of lexigrams (keyboard symbols) and sign language have shown. (Goodall, 1986; Rumbaugh, Savage-Rumbaugh, and Sevcik, 1994)
Chimpanzees can be taught large numbers of signs or symbols, which they can use to respond to questions reliably and repeatably. They can identify sizes, shapes, colors, and can distinguish what attributes of objects make them different (e.g., two circles, one blue, one red, differ in color). They can use abstract concepts and generalize. For example, they can know that a wrench is a tool and a banana is a food. They are able to spontaneously mix and use symbols they know to describe novel objects. For example, one chimpanzee described a cucumber as a "banana which is green". Further, research has demonstrated that chimpanzees can understand spoken language, responding appropriately to requests, even though they are, themselves, unable to speak. (Goodall, 1986; Rumbaugh, Savage-Rumbaugh, and Sevcik, 1994)

text: Known as The steel framework tower in Prague is a 63.5 meter high, and strongly resembles the Eiffel Tower. The top is actually at a higher altitude than that of the Eiffel Tower. The Petřínská rozhledna was built in 1891 and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower. Today it is a tourist attraction. If you go up the hard way, the hill is roughly a half-hour walk up paths that get quite slippery when it snows, and the tower is a shorter but fairly tiring climb; however, the hill is served by a frequent funicular and the tower has an elevator for disabled persons. There is a gift shop and a small cafeteria on the main level. On the lowest level is a small museum of Jára Cimrman.

Weather changes wreak havoc on streets
ALPENA – The inconsistent winter weather the area has been experiencing has been taking a toll on the city's water system, as well as the streets. As temperatures fluctuated between 50 degrees and zero this past week, the city had several water main breaks. If it continues there could be a lasting impact on the roads.
City Engineer Rich Sullenger said the city was notified by United Water there was something odd in the amount of water consumption and it was determined a break had taken place. He said typically it doesn't take long for a leak to show itself, but with this particular line break it took several days. Sullenger said the water from the main was leaking, but was being taken in by a damaged sewer line. He said the break finally was found because the water eroded the soil beneath the road which caused part of Ripley Boulevard to collapse. He estimated between1.5 and 2.5 million gallons of water had been leaked.
"We knew we had a leak in the system, but they are sometimes very difficult to locate. A lot of times you have to wait for them to boil to the surface," Sullenger said. "In this particular instance, it didn't. The water washed through the ground from the break to the storm drain and it washed out the sand and eventually the road started to dip. Once we identified that DPW and because they were busy plowing snow we had a contractor come in and do the repairs."
Sullenger said the crazy weather has taken its toll on the water system. He said there were two more breaks on Thursday. There was a break on Lockwood Street and another on Hubert Road. He said if the weather patterns continue to go up and down, it is likely more breaks in the water system will take place.
"These temperature fluxuations are really tough on the system. We usually see a rash of breaks in the fall when we go from no frost to frost conditions, but we had two more leaks (Thursday) and I think it is directly related to the weather," Sullenger said. "Usually we're in pretty good shape this time of year because the ground is normally frozen, but with this thaw we had there could be more. I hope not. Especially from a budget aspect."
The Department of Public Works has an inventory of pipes and fittings needed to make the repairs when a leak occurs, but Sullenger said breaks aren't cheap to fix, especially if additional work is needed to the street, like the one on Ripley will require.
"That was probably a $10,000 to $15,000 repair bill or will be when everything is done," Sullenger said. "We also identified that the sanitary (pipe) across a piece of Ripley needs to be replaced, so we are going to try to find the money in the budget to do that the first thing in the spring and then repair the road."
Sullenger said when the section of Ripley Boulevard left a large hole that could have consumed a vehicle. Ripley is one of the busiest streets in Alpena and Sullenger said he is happy the collapse didn't happen while a car was on it or near it. He said if an accident would have taken place the city would have been held responsible.
"We always hope something like that never happens. Could it happen? Yes, it could, and that is why we have liability insurance," Sullenger said. "With that size of hole it could have been pretty catastrophic if someone were to have driven across it and the road had failed at that particular instance. We were fortunate."

mattal...I don't know why. that is the truth. I purchased the Japanese version solely because it had more songs. I figured that would be worth the extra price paid in shipping alone. but...it also featured the selling point of having an extra high quality audio cd (only available in japan, a SHM cd). I didn't really care. I thought...that would just be gravy.
but you inspired me to try and find out. see if there was any truth in my ramblings and observations.
I found this for you non believers:
SHM-CD: New and improved CD format from Japan!
by Robert H. Levi
With all the work being done to upgrade CD materials these days, it's no wonder Universal/JVC would actually discover a new material that really does something…a big something at that! SHM-CD, or Super High Material CD, is an improved version of the Compact Disc material that uses super quality, enhanced transparency polycarbonate material developed for use in LCD screens. They will play in any CD player. Universal Music Japan and JVC co-developed the SHM-CD. They report that the new material allows the pits to be formed more precisely plus eliminates laser splatter. The signal characteristics are improved as a result with overall lower distortion and better musicality. Universal Japan is reissuing a ton of albums in their catalog in all genres as SHM-CDs and this is the first report of their CDs to reach these shores!
Eastwind Imports sent me a two disc Jazz Sampler with one CD made of regular aluminum and the other an SHM-CD. Made from the same masters (newly re-mastered in Japan without any use of equalizers or compressors) and pressed with the same stamper, they sound very different. Taken from the vast catalog of Universal which includes Verve and Impulse labels, each CD contains 13 famous jazz numbers recorded in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The artists include John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Oscar Peterson, and Anita O'Day.
I first listened to the regular CD supplied, focusing on Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto "Corcovado." It sounded quite smooth and focused with very good definition and depth. I then played the Verve 20 Bit CD Reissue from 1997 which sounded a tad brighter, but that's about it. I then listened to the SACD Verve Reissue from 2002 on my ModWright 9100 with tube power supply …it was improved in every way. It was SACD of course, but it had substantially more definition and air …better depth, too. It was then I played the SHM-CD of this cut. Oh boy, it sounds like the SACD!
What? How could this be? A CD formulation that actually works? I tried the SHM-CD on all my CD sources: ModWright Sony 9100, 999, E.A.R. Acute Tube CD Player, and Alesis Masterlink. I heard improvement on ALL players with the SHM-CD versus the regular editions.
I heard more definition, more air, smoother textures and nuances, a lot more depth, reduced digititus of all types, more of an analog sound and feel, bigger dynamics micro and macro …the whole ball of wax. I put some L'Art du Son on the SHM-CD for even better results.
Will I replace all my CDs with SHM-CDs? Probably not. But, I will look for Universal releases I don't have in this format for sure! It closes the gap by 80-90% between CDs and SACDs on top audiophile machines and this is quite an achievement. Compatibility appears perfect, too. The sound just pops with a sense of reality I rarely hear from CDs or SACDs for that matter. Harmonious sounding CDs…how very nice!
end of article...
again...I've heard both copies. I did not play them side by side. but after learning the red version...and then hearing the Japanese blue version...there was something noticeable right away. on the opening track, save us...the backing vocals are louder on the red domestic one...and the instruments (rhythm guitar) was more subdued. but on the Japanese version...the instruments are all individually separated and more noticeable.
I've heard...been involved in, even...discussions about this by people who know way more about music than I do. producers, mixers, and remaster-ers. they say it can't possibly be better if they all come from the same master. but it comes down to a higher quality material it is being written on (compare a cd to a cassette tape...although that is a bit extreme). and coincidently...only the one's who have not heard the shm cd claim it couldn't be better. and the one's who have heard it all seem to say it is.
you don't have to believe me. i'm not benefitting one iota from the sales of a high quality cd sold only in japan. but I have to report it as I see it. or in this case...hear it.

Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidy
Shane McGlaun

Sender E-mail
39% of all corn produced in the U.S. goes to ethanol production
(Source: washingtonexaminer.com)
House to vote next
Lawmakers in Washington are working hard to write and pass laws that would have fuel efficiency standards in the U.S. changing drastically in coming years. While some in Washington support the new standards for vehicle efficiency, others oppose the standards. Along with mandating better fuel economy across a carmakers fleet, Washington is also seeing green and renewable fuel alternatives for vehicles.
In the U.S., ethanol has been added into the fuel we run in vehicles for years. Ethanol is as high as 10% in fuels today and some that are against ethanol, which is derived from corn, claim that the biofuel is increasing the price of some food items in America. A report published by the GAO claims that the use of ethanol has driven the cost of some food items up as much as 20%.
With all of Washington in cost cutting mode in an effort to shore up the federal budget lawmakers are looking at everywhere money can be saved. One place that some in the Senate want to save money is by repealing the subsidy on ethanol. The
Senate voted
Thursday 73-27 to end a $0.45 per gallon tax credit on ethanol-blended gasoline starting on July 1. According to those that support the repeal, the subsidy cost taxpayers $5.6 billion last year.
Growth Energy, and ethanol association, CEO Tom Buis said, "The Senate missed an enormous opportunity to take real action on deficit reduction and energy policy when it failed to put oil subsidies and giveaways to the same test as ethanol."
On the other side of the coin, Kate McMahon coordinator of biofuels campaigns for Friends of the Earth said, "Senators scored a win for the public and for the environment by voting to end this $6 billion giveaway." She continued saying, "[the Senate delivered a message] that the ethanol industry's days of living high off the taxpayers' hog have come to an end."
The effort to end the ethanol subsidy now goes to the House for voting. White House spokesman Jay Carney says that the Obama administration supports a reduction in the ethanol subsidy, but does not support a full repeal. Some claim that 39% of the corn produced in the U.S. is currently going into fuel tanks. With the costs to reach the
proposed 62mpg
regulations for fuel economy reaching nearly $10,000, some automakers are calling for the removal of ethanol from gasoline. Ethanol is renewable and greener than petroleum fuel, but reduces fuel economy.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Wolf hunt to have three zones
By JOHN PEPIN
For The Daily News
MARQUETTE – A limited gray wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula will cover three management areas, the Michigan Natural Resources Commission has determined.
The three units are located in portions of Gogebic, Baraga, Houghton, Ontonagon, Luce and Mackinac counties.
Last month, Michigan Department of Natural Resources division chiefs recommended several regulations for a wolf hunt to the NRC. Those regulations establish a harvest of 43 wolves in three areas where wolf-human conflicts – including depredation of livestock and pets and human safety concerns – have been persistent despite employing a number of non-lethal control measures.
DNR officials said Michigan's wolf population has grown significantly since 2000, with the current minimum population estimate of 658, down slightly from last winter. The DNR said the target harvest is not expected to impact the overall wolf population trajectory, based on published scientific research.
"The recovery of Michigan's wolf population has been a remarkable success story," said NRC Chairman J.R. Richardson of Ontonagon.
Prior to the NRC decision, state officials consulted with the public, a wolf advisory panel, scientists and DNR officials from Minnesota and Wisconsin, where wolf hunts were held this past winter. The state's wolf management plan was a basis for many of the provisions developed.
The DNR also completed a wolf population survey and reviewed documented wolf conflicts and the effectiveness of control measures.
"This decision was the culmination of a long and thorough process by the NRC," DNR Director Keith Creagh said. "The DNR will continue to work closely with the commission to be certain that Michigan's wolf population is managed according to the principles of sound science."
Opponents hoping to stop a wolf hunt in Michigan have said lawmakers and state officials were rushing to establish a harvest. A coalition called Keep Michigan Wolves Protected gathered more than 250,000 petition signatures in hopes of reversing a law passed in December reclassifying wolves as game species.
If the state verifies enough signatures, the measure would appear before voters in 2014. However, a bill signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder this week would make the referendum ineffective by ensuring only the Legislature can remove an animal from the list of game species.
Wolves were taken off the federal Threatened and Endangered Species List in January 2012 after population recovery goals were met. Wolf populations will be monitored and relisting the species could be considered if populations dip too low.
DNR officials said a total of 1,200 wolf hunting licenses will be available for over-the-counter purchase -starting Aug. 3. The 2013 wolf season will open Nov. 15 and run until Dec. 31, or until the target harvest for each wolf management unit is reached. Licenses will be valid for all three wolf management units until each unit is closed.
The bag limit is one wolf per person per year. Firearm, crossbow and bow-and-arrow hunting and trapping will be allowed on public and private lands.
The cost of a wolf hunting license is $100 for residents and $500 for nonresidents.
For each wolf management unit, different primary objectives were identified, along with recommended harvest quotas, including:
– Wolf Management Unit A: A portion of Gogebic County, including the city of Ironwood and the encompassing township. Unit quota: 16 wolves. Objective: reduce nuisance wolf complaints, which have totaled 91 since 2010.
– Wolf Management Unit B: Portions of Baraga, Houghton, Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. Unit quota: 19 wolves. Objective: Reduce the number of chronic livestock depredations. Since 2010, 80 livestock depredation incidents have been documented from 11 farms.
– Wolf Management Unit C: Portions of Luce and Mackinac counties. Unit quota: 8 wolves. Objective: Reduce the number of chronic livestock and dog depredations. Since 2010, the DNR recorded 25 livestock depredation incidents from seven farms and four depredation incidents involving 12 dogs.
The DNR said hunters will be required to report successful harvest over the phone on the day of harvest. Once the target harvest quota is met for a management unit, the entire unit will be closed for the season. Licensed hunters will be required to check daily by phone or online to determine whether any management units have been closed.

The Rig Approach
Joint project involving Sikorsky and PHI 'wrote the book' with the S-92 automated rig approach for offshore operators.
|PHI-operated Sikorsky S-92 in the Gulf of Mexico.
Having an instrument approach in the Gulf of Mexico is not news. That has been going on for more than 20 years using a system of navigation combining a Gulf of Mexico grid system, airborne radar, and more recently GPS, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) and of course radio contact that can be direct, altitude permitting, through company dispatchers and even satellite phone. The instrument approaches used by the operators have some things in common with land-based approaches used at most airports, but there are considerable differences as well.
The most glaring difference is that there is no runway in the middle of the Gulf. This means the approach must terminate in a block of "space." There is limited en-route radar, no approach radar and no marker beacons. There are no lead in lights and no runway environment. There is always the possibility of movement on the water by boats within the approach area. When the helicopter breaks out, visual cues are restricted to seeing water, necessitating a lateral eye search for a destination platform.
FAA Advisory Circular, AC NO: 90-80B is the approving authority for three basic approach profiles; the Offshore Standard Approach Procedure (OSAP), Airborne Radar Approach (ARA) and Helicopter En route Descent Area (HEDA). Offshore operators are authorized to design the approaches they want to use, give it a name and then submit the write up to the FAA for approval. The approved approach will then be entered into that company's Operations Manual.
|Treasure Swan TSRIG approach.
Ron Doeppner, Sikorsky chief R&D test pilot, was designated as the lead for the project. The goal was to provide a coupled approach, using the OSAP type procedures that would bring the helicopter down to 200 feet above the water, with minimal or no control input by the pilot.
Analysis indicated that using the current system required as many as 17 separate decisions and actions, many taking place during the actual letdown. Seven take place after the IAF and three after the FAF. The other 10 can be done either before takeoff or prior to the IAF when properly planned.
Sikorsky went to work and provided the software and the hardware. The software was programmed into the S-92 Flight Control Computer (FCC) that will command the autopilot. The FCC does the math and the FMS gives the aircraft location and the destination. Platform final testing resulted in the 17 actions being reduced to seven. One of those is done prior to liftoff and the remaining six can be done during en-route flight.
The software has to know four things. 1) Where am I going? This means precise coordinates must be put into the Sikorsky FMS database using the center of the helideck as the target. This location is then given a waypoint designation. 2) Where is the wind? The destination rig or an AWOS station supplies that. 3) What will be the decision height (DH)? The pilot can program that. 4) Where will the offset to the platform be, left or right? Again, pilot programmed. These four parameters can be inputted any distance from the destination, however wind direction and speed should be done no more than 50 miles out to get good information. This means the pilot could now do a fully automated, hands-off approach including a MAP. He observes and monitors systems to ensure programmed performance. This is a big contribution to making an instrument approach safer.
|Sample of an OSAP approach.
As mentioned earlier, the workload of the old OSAP requires many pilot inputs during the critical phases of the approach that can lead to distractions and it was felt that automating as many as possible would be a big safety advancement for offshore operations. Two OSAP approach plates show the differences in routes, check points, vertical and ground tracks and speeds. Onboard avionics consist of autopilot, FMS, FCC, ADS-B out, weather radar, radar altimeter, GPS and glass panel configurations such as RMI and other cue instrumentation.
In the approved Rig Approach, some of the depictions appear similar to the old OSAP and this is deliberate in that PHI requested that Sikorsky try to keep them close to the same to ease the approval process.
In a simplified explanation, the helicopter takes off from its shore base and proceeds to its GPS destination waypoint. As the pilot nears the waypoint, he presses an "Approach" button, the autopilot takes over and the helicopter begins a turn to the "turn point." This FCC establishes this point based on wind direction previously entered by the pilot.
Think of it as an aligning point allowing the quickest transition from en route flight to the final approach fix. This is not a procedure turn, but rather a smooth turn for alignment. The helicopter continues at cruise speed and altitude until beginning a computed descent at 750 feet per minute timed to arrive at the turn point at 1,500 feet and 80 knots. Just before arriving at the IAF, it slows to 80 knots, stabilizes and levels off at 1,500 feet.
It then adjusts the ground speed to 80 knots as it proceeds to the IAF located two miles from the FAF, where it begins its final descent. The final approach course is off set to the left or right of the platform to present an obstacle free go around path. The two miles between the IAF and FAF gives the crew time to observe the approach area using the weather radar in ground mapping mode.
|Diagrams showing the Sikorsky and PHI-developed Rig Approach system.
Sikorsky conducted the bulk of its certification flight testing in 2011 and followed that with a year of working with the FAA to provide a path for certification.
"Automated rig approach had never been done before so the FAA had no basis on which to compare it," said Doeppner, Sikorsky's project pilot. "We couldn't go to the FAA regulators and say we're certifying this according to existing data. We wrote the book on it, working with the operator (PHI) and the FAA."
It is interesting that Sikorsky has put a new twist into helicopter use by designing an operational procedure that had been the bailiwick of the operators. I think that it was an inevitable direction to go in when you consider the sophistication of the computer systems that are being used in today's larger and more expensive helicopters. The manufacturer will eventually produce a kit that can be retrofitted to the fleet, worldwide, and that will be an option on new purchases of S-92s. Plans are also in the works for equipping the S-76 fleet with the Rig Approach. The other OEMs will soon be developing their own versions of automated approaches for larger helicopters, it's just a matter of time.
As Sikorsky says, this milestone culminates a five-year joint development effort between PHI and Sikorsky for Rig Approach. This new capability improves helicopter safety and operations for the offshore oil industry by reducing crew workload, increasing situational awareness and enhancing on-time performance," said Carey Bond, President, Sikorsky Global Helicopters. "Safety is and always will be our priority. Innovations such as Rig Approach are invaluable, especially in the hostile weather environments where many of these rigs operate every day."
Al Gonsoulin, CEO and Chairman of the Board of PHI states that: "We share an absolute commitment to continue to explore new technologies to enhance the safety of the men and women who work in the Gulf."

News item from 2012
Masterpiece By Vermeer Goes On Loan To The Ashmolean Museum
From Tuesday 24 January visitors to the Ashmolean Museum will have the rare opportunity to see the only privately-owned painting by Johannes Vermeer (1632–75). Young Woman Seated at a Virginal is a late masterpiece by the Delft painter, dating from around 1670. It will be displayed in the Ashmolean's new Dutch Art Gallery until September.
Vermeer is an extremely rare artist, having painted a small number of works, of which only 30 have survived. The subject of a young woman playing a musical instrument in a modest domestic interior was painted by Vermeer on a number of occasions. This is his last known treatment of the subject, with a characteristic emphasis on the delicate fall of light on the woman, catching in the folds of her clothes and on the instrument, with a wall behind her.
Young Woman Seated at a Virginal will be installed in the Ashmolean's Dutch Art Gallery where it can be seen alongside other works from the Dutch 'Golden Age' which include Portrait of a Woman by Frans Hals (also on loan from a private collection); paintings by Albert Cuyp, Jacob van Ruisdael and Gabriel Metsu; decorative arts and Delftware porcelain.
Dr Christopher Brown, Director of the Ashmolean and Curator for Dutch and Flemish Art, said, "I am naturally thrilled that this important painting, the only work by the Delft master in a private collection, will be going on display at the Ashmolean. Thanks to the generosity of the owner, who has loaned the Vermeer and other works from his collection, this painting can be enjoyed by all our visitors, for free, for the next nine months."

Go-Pro Helmet Cam Footage Editing Tipsthe_wine_snob Jun 26, 2010 11:23 AM
This was graciously provided by Gonza, and I hope that it helps others:
Editing GoPro HD with Premiere Pro CS4
GoProHD has many different resolutions, all of them progressive scan (p) with square pixels, titled R1 to R5. It records in MP4 files, using H.264 video (AVC) and AAC audio.
Here I will address R2 to R5:
R2 = 1280 x 720 30p (widescreen 16:9)
R3 = 1280 x 720 60p (widescreen 16:9)
R4 = 1280 x 960 30p (standard 4:3)
R5 = 1920 x 1080 30p (widescreen 16:9)
Preparation of files
It seems Premiere Pro CS4 does not like the way GoPro builds the MP4 container. So you have to re-write it so that it has a more standard form. You can do that using MPEG Streamclip (or Quictime Pro, but that one is not free)
If you open your GoPro videos in MPEG Streamclip (or Quicktime Pro) , and then you just save them again ("save as... MP4") , then the MP4 container will be re-written but the video will not be re-encoded (hence, there will be no quality loss!)
You can also process many files at once, using the batch feature: Just go to List>Batch List and start adding files. Then as task, choose "save as".
Sequence Preset
Now that you have all your files converted, we need to pick the right project sequence preset for the resolution you are working on, all of them based on AVCHD
· For R2 choose AVCHD 720p30
· For R3 use AVCHD 720p60
· For R4 you will need to create a custom profile, because there is no built-in profile for this resolution: Select AVCHD 1080p30 and then go to the General tab. Change Editing Mode to Desktop, so you will be able to modify the resolution. Change the resolution to 1280 x 960 and then press the Save Preset button to save your newly created sequence profile for GoPro R4
· For R5 use AVCHD 1080p30
After all your editing (using the modified MP4 files) you will want to export your final product.
I usually export in meg2 or MP4 files, for direct use on my PC, but you can try many others.
· For MP4 files (H.264 video and AAC audio) choose "H.264" as format. I started out with the HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality profile but the bitrate was too high for me. So I set out to create a bunch of MP4 export presets for the GoPro, doing some tests and trying to preserve the aprox. bit-rate that GoPro uses for each resolution.
I did them with the Baseline ecoder profile, but you can change it if you want to to use other.
There's one normal profile and one "low" profile for each resoultion. The "low" one will have a lower video bit rate and 64kbps AAC audio (instead of 128 kbps)
· For Mpeg 2 files choose MPEG2 format (nahh!! really?? J )
For R2 and R5 you can use the corresponding HDTV profiles, but for R3 and R4 I had to create them myself.
To install my profiles just extract them from the archive zip file , and copy them to:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\Presets
Then they will automatically appear under the MPE2 and H.264 formats.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Patients protest
Sickness, not combat, killed most Civil War soldiers. During the early months of the war, especially, disease ran rampant through both the U.S. and Confederate armies. Many men had never developed immunity to diseases such as mumps and measles. Cholera and typhoid fever spread through poor sanitation. Medical officials hastily set up hospitals. According to the patients who wrote this 1861 letter to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, however, conditions, treatments, and medical expertise were lacking.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Crazy Town's music and image reflected one of the most dynamic and volatile sociocultural environments on the planet -- Los Angeles -- where the urban squalor of the South Central district exists just minutes away from the glitz of Beverly Hills. Spearheaded by a team of producers/vocalists, Seth "Shifty Shellshock" Binzer and Bret "Epic" Mazur, Crazy Town combined hip-hop's lyrical attitude and rhythmic sass with the muscle of live rock instrumentation. The combination yielded the group a number one hit in 2001, when "Butterfly" topped the Billboard 100 and helped push the band's debut effort, The Gift of Game, to platinum status.
Bret Mazur and Seth Binzer were both surrounded by music while growing up in Southern California. Mazur's father was Billy Joel's manager, while Binzer's father was an artist and filmmaker who directed the Rolling Stones' live movie Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones. The two sons preferred a different style of music, however, listening instead to rap acts like N.W.A., Cypress Hill and Ice-T, as well as alternative rock bands like the Cure. Originally from New York, Mazur started crafting beats and cutting tracks at an early age and found himself working on records by MC Serch (of 3rd Bass), Eazy-E, and MC Lyte; he was also House of Pain's DJ for a short period. Meanwhile, Binzer had come across a copy of the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill while in Mexico, and discovered a side of hip-hop that inspired him to start making demo recordings on his own.
Binzer and Mazur initially came together as the Brimstone Sluggers, and while the pair recorded plenty of music, their contributions to other hip-hoppers' projects prevented them from completing a full album of their own. They both also ended up in rehabilitation clinics, where the two began writing letters that helped hatch the plan to form Crazy Town: a hip-hop band featuring a full instrumental lineup to complement the rapping vocalists. The group was to be rooted in classic rap-rock miscegenation like Run-D.M.C.'s "Rock Box," or Public Enemy and Anthrax's collaborative effort "Bring Tha Noize."
Doug "Faydoedeelay" Miller (bass), Rust Epique (guitar), Anthony "Trouble" Valli (guitar), DJ A.M. (turntables), and drummer James "JBJ" Bradley -- a former sessioneer who played on the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head album -- were recruited to join the group, and Crazy Town was officially born. The band's debut album, The Gift of Game, was produced by close friend Josh Abraham and featured appearances by KRS-One, dancehall toastmaster Mad Lion, and Dirty Unit. The album spawned a world-wide hit with "Butterfly," an ode to attractive women, and put the band on the road to success. After 2002's Darkhorse failed to receive similar accolades, however, the band broke up in 2003. Crazy Town's members pursued production projects and solo careers as the decade progressed, and 2007 saw the band reuniting for a new album.

Ex-Adoboli colleague launches gambling venture
A former colleague of Kweku Adoboli, the ex-UBS trader found guilty of fraud yesterday after losing $2.3bn from unhedged trades at the Swiss bank, has launched a new company – an online betting platform.
John Hughes, a senior trader who worked on UBS's exchange-traded funds desk with Adoboli during the period that Adoboli carried out unauthorised trading activities, has launched a company called BetsofMates.com.
Bets of Mates Limited was set up in July this year, according to documents filed with Companies House.
Hughes was dismissed by UBS for gross misconduct in January this year after an independent report commissioned by the bank's non-executive board found that he had colluded in Adoboli's trading activities. Hughes was not accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Adoboli's activities.
During the trial, Hughes appeared as a witness for the prosecution. In his evidence, it was revealed that Hughes had reported Adoboli for exceeding his trading limit in December 2010.
However, Hughes also told the court that he felt bad about it so did not report Adoboli a second time after he learned of the "umbrella", a rainy-day fund that Adoboli had created to conceal profits and losses from the bank.
Speaking to Financial News today, Hughes said: "The truth is that, had he [Adoboli] not lost that money, I wouldn't have lost my job. I believe that. But I didn't stop him so I deserved to lose my job."
Hughes said that he started developing BetsofMates.com more than seven months ago. The site is not yet live.
He said the gambling site would be a "socially responsible platform for football betting" that would "leverage off [his] friends in the football industry".
Hughes founded the site alongside David McGurk, a professional footballer who plays for York City, and Adam Haywood, a business development manager, according to its certificate of incorporation filed with Companies House.
Hughes recently began publicising his new venture on the social media site Twitter, describing himself in his profile as "1/3 of Britain's Newest Gambling Offering".
The gambling platform is described on its website as a "drunken idea" conceived during the Champions League semi-final of 2012 when "John (the former banker) bet Dave (the professional footballer) that Chelsea were gonna go through against Barca".
In a profile on the website, Hughes describes himself as the "brains of the operation" and as being "all numbers and spreadsheets" after "having worked in the City since 2005".
He also writes that "seven years in the City removed all sense of optimism from his character, and made him absurdly superstitious".
During the trial, the judge told the jury: "It would be wise for you to treat Mr Hughes' evidence with some caution, as he may well have his own interests to serve."
The revelation that Hughes has set up a betting company comes just a day after the conclusion of the Adoboli trial, which shone a spotlight on the culture of gambling among investment bankers.
It was reported at the trial that Adoboli was a gambler in his private life and was £3,000 in debt at the time of his arrest. He had lost money on personal spread betting accounts he operated with IG Index and City Index.
The judge in the Adoboli trial, Mr Justice Keith, said in his sentencing: "There is a strong streak of the gambler in you [Adoboli]. You were arrogant to think the bank's rules for traders did not apply to you."
Adoboli was sentenced to seven years in prison on Tuesday after having been convicted on two counts of fraud by a jury at Southwark Crown Court.
