Press Review: St Louis: "we aren't going to mess around – we're just going to play," a serious Robert Plant promised the capacity house who'd gathered in the 20,000 seat arena to witness the phoenix-like return of Led Zeppelin to the stage from what Plant euphemized as their "physical interlude" – the forced hiatus that resulted from the critical injuries he suffered in an auto accident during the summer of 1975.
It was obvious from his comment, made two songs into the programme, that Zeppelin weren't interested in tea and sympathy, but rather in defending their supergroup status which, as they well knew, was sorely in need of it in St Louis after their sorry past performances in this city.
Indeed, while they had been, as usual, nearly an hour late in starting, the openers, The Song Remains the Same and a tough, angry version of Sick Again, had offered considerable proof that they meant to keep their lead singer's word. And as if to further confirm it, there already a broken string hanging down from Jimmy Page's tortured double-neck.
But it was not until they were successfully done with the metallic blues of their next song, Nobody's Fault But Mine, that Plant himself (whose stint on harmonica had been Fault's special treat) seemed fully satisfied they would live up to his commitment.
"It looks like it's going to be a good one, he righty, if cautiously surmised, and they quickly moved ahead to In My Time of Dying – It's challenging breaks, and Page's bottleneck leads and Plant's woeful wails all most impressively executed. But should there happen to have been any yet-remaining doubts in anyone's mind as to Zeppelin's fitness, the soul wrenching dealt by Since I've Been Loving You could not help but have dispelled them completely.
Plant's purgative, bleeding cries – so reminiscent of Janis Joplin – and the taunting, almost brutal exchange between his voice and the instruments brought the concert to its first of several climaxes. That there had been a deep-down change in this group was now impossible not to recognize; one could only presume the vicarious effects of Plant's ordeal had served to turn Led Zeppelin inside out. More than making statements, their music was asking questions, to such an extent that most of the songs sounded as if they were ended on the interrogative (as opposed to carelessly open ended).
There was absolutely nothing to deny their purposefulness – no smugness, no sloppiness, and no more holding back. Just an apparent all-out effort on the part of each man to make Led Zeppelin the best and most significant rock band in the world. (MM/ P. Dewing | April 1977)

The Time of My Life
I saw the St Louis show April 15th 1977. It was great! I heard later that someone threw something (a frisbee maybe?) and hit Robert in the head with it, prompting the decision not to do an encore which would have been Rock and Roll as is mentioned here on the setlist. The show I saw I will forever remember, and I was all the way in the back and could still feel Bonzo's drums in my chest.
I loved the whole night. Thanks again, all of you.

Reviews of this property
We arrived at dawn to Stansted and transportation that we had contracted with Irene first shock was not waiting for us, we had to call a couple of times until it appeared the driver, tb I have to say that the plane was two hours late, very large van for 5, agreed not to charge us but we still came out more economical than with other carriers, 75 lbs. The photo of the apartment is a bit tuned, the floor is exactly the same but in the ad looked a lot more new than it really is. The apartment was fine with the basics, basiquisimo drove 5 and had 3 glasses, 4 forks 4 courses and all very justito, but we managed fine. The metro area is 2 with what we managed very well to get to all the interesting sites. The bathroom miniscule but enough. Irene and I saw her hair, a man met us to give us the keys and operating basic informations washer and kitchen. The last day we told if they had a place to leave our bags as we had the airplane wings 18:30 and we had to leave the apartment at 11:00, as they were not able to give us even a little room to let 3 suitcases, were very helpful to say ... The wifi only worked out 2 days of the seven, but they charge the same. Well in short the great area our apartment a bit noisy because it overlooked the main street, but would arrive so exhausted that did not bother you nada.El apartment is fine for undemanding people but with the prices that are out ahì the kitchen we have a came in handy.Pleasant.
LLegamos de madrugada a Stansted y el transporte que habiamos contratado con Irene no estaba esperandonos primer susto, tuvimos que llamarle un par de veces hasta que apareciò el chofer, tb tengo que decir que el aviòn llegò con dos horas de retraso , una furgoneta muy grande para los 5, no nos cobrò lo acordado pero aùn asì nos saliò mas economico que con otras empresas de transporte ,75 libras . La foto del apartamento està un poco tuneada, el piso es exactamente igual pero en el anuncio parecia mucho mas nuevo de lo que es en realidad.
El apartamento estaba bien con lo basico, basiquisimo fuimos 5 y habìa 3 vasos, 4 tenedores 4 platos y todo muy justito, pero nos arreglamos bien.
La zona de metro es 2 con lo que nos arreglamos muy bien para llegar a todos los sitios interesantes. El baño minusculo pero suficiente. A Irene ni le vimos el pelo, nos recibiò un hombre para darnos las llaves y la informaciòn basica de funcionamiento de lavadora y cocina.
El ùltimo dia les comentamos si tenian un sitio para dejar las maletas ya que teniamos el avion alas 18:30 y teniamos que dejar el apartamento a las 11:00, pues no fueron capaces de facilitarnos ni un cuartito para dejar 3 maletas, no eran muy serviciales que digamos...El wifi solo nos funcionò 2 dias de los siete, pero te cobran igual.
Bueno en resumen la zona genial nuestro apartamento un poco ruidoso porque daba a la calle principal, pero llegabamos tan agotados que no te molestaba nada.El apartamento està bien para gente poco exigente pero con los precios que hay por ahì el disponer de una cocina nos vino muy bien.
Estancia agradable .
Al principio tuvimos que esperar para que llegasen a darnos las llaves, y aunque fuera problema del tráfico que hubo tendrían que haberlo previsto...
El apartamento está bien, es lo que es, confortable y sin mucho ruido del resto de apartamentos ni del exterior.
En mitad de la estancia se nos estropeó la nevera, llamamos y una hora después ya estaba arreglada. La zona tiene facilidad para coger metros y buses y varios supermercados muy cerca.
La situacion es bastante buena, hay supermecados que están a la vuelta de la esquina y asequible y esta bien comunicado respecto al medio de transporte, lo único es que deberían de cambiar la ama porque te clavas los muelles...por lo demás esta bien.
Irene trabaja en una agencia y en ningún momento la vi, hable con ella por teléfono y un chico español me dio las llaves del apartamento. No volví a ver ni hablar con nadie durante mi estancia, antes de irme el último día deje las llaves dentro del apartamento y me fui. El apartamento es como aparece en las fotos, aunque un poco sucio, cosa normal en Inglaterra, con el mobiliario justo y los utensilios de cocina justisimos. La zona no esta mal, aunque la entrada al edificio es por detrás con un callejón un poco oscuro. Parada de metro cerca y autobús en la puerta.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a very nice stay at the apartment. We got the keys when we arrived, and Irene and her colleague were very sweet.
A nice flat near shoping street . The overground is near and you can find everything around .
Location is excelent , the flat is clean and nice . I recomend this property for holiday in London !
The Appartment was as shown on the photos, nice and clean. It's easy to find and surrounded by several good shops, pubs, etc.
Check in and out were easy and without any problems.
The bathroom was pretty small, but there were many towels. The Bed is comfortable, the Sofa is ok for a few days.
Good: The location is great, minutes from two tube stations, Hyde Park, and shops and restaurants for anything you need and is quiet by London standards. The flat is equipped with washer, stove, microwave, and a good kettle and a small television. We also felt secure there and there was lots of hot water. We were met by staff -very friendly and got us some extra pillows and a quilt. What was there was a little skimpy.
Tricky: It is a basement flat and the stairs down are a bit steep. The overall appearance is a little tired but this is mostly cosmetic. It is a basement flat in an older building and it can be a little dank especially in the bathroom (probably similar with every other basement on the block). There is a window the opens to a back courtyard which clears that up fairly quick. The electric top up was tricky as we were told to take the dongle to the post office, Spar store, or news agent to add money. Well none of those worked and we were directed several blocks away to a shop we didn't find. Fortunately we didn't use much electricity so it wasn't a problem.
Do Different: Owners should take a few minutes to do a sheet explaining things for visitors such as exactly where to top up the power, light switches in the entrance hall, and basic instructions for the washer dryer. Add small night light and some clothes hooks in the hall, and bathroom and a few more hangers. Beaching the tiled bathroom and adding a can of air freshener would also go a long way.
We would probably stay again. Next time we will ask for a spare key.

The original Lotion Hat occured around 1999 in Grand Terrace, California. A lotion hat is a festive hat that happens when a friend passes out after heavy drinking and a generous amount of lotion is applied on to the head. You may also substitue lotion with almost any thing else such as ketchup, mustard, any kind of salad dressing, pudding, mayonase, and or hot sauce. But remeber if ketchup is applied it is not a lotion hat it is a ketchup hat, mustard equals mustard hat, etc.
Damn i cant believe i got lotion hats last night!
Dude you got lotion hats, what a bitch.
I hate lotion hats!

The latest study from Alex Lu (Harvard) is due out this month.
He's Randy's 'nemesis'.
Michael, George HW, or George W?
Mark Berninghausen
"W" He gets blamed for everything else. Why should this be different?
I've seen Randy post on Monsanto. I've seen him featured in a Forbes column.
However, I've never seen him post on such a transparently partisan site like 'The Daily Caller'.
It's like getting pregnant. You can't be just a little bit Neo-Conservative.
The 'bump' is simply too big to hide anymore.
Whoever did this to Randy is going to have to marry him.
'Dubya' is the one.
WLC... Does everyone who posts on a partisan site, have to believe everything that is on that partisan site. How does that work.
In politics, you dance with the one who brung ya.
All kidding aside, he has to be far more selective in where he publishes, and he has to be selective in giving interviews.
My thoughts are that he's lost control over his own message.
As a longtime politician once asked me, "Are you sure they're your friends?"
Any time you are writing about a subject, should you only preach to your membership. No, you should seek out those with differing opinions and try to convince them. You get a larger and more diverse audience when you publish in journals who fundamentally disagree with you.
No accomplished author would ever consent to only being published in journals where everyone agrees with him. If so, only a very few would even bother to read it, even fewer would challenge any findings or conclusions.
In scientific studies not only the content or conclusions, should be challenged, but, methodology and control. More importantly, can the results be duplicated. I would encourage everyone to read every article with an open mind, then start sorting. Never attack some author simply because the work was published in a certain forum, or, because that forum has an unrelated stand or opinion that you disagree with.

Haven't you been paying attention to what has recently happened in Canada?
Health Canada and the PMRA has found that neonic corn and soy caused honeybee losses this past season, and in addition, they've called neoinic corn and soy unsustainable.
As we speak, they're working on solutions to the problem.
Yes, those were field realistic concentrations of neonics that killed those bees.
Last edited by WLC; 09-19-2013 at 01:58 PM.
"current agricultural practices related to the use of neonicotinoid treated corn and soybean seed are not sustainable."
(emphasis added)
"the practices" that are not sustainable involve not controlling dust from seeding, something randy oliver has often spoken out against. the solutions are measures to control the dust.
good for canada!
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
"The PMRA said that its own testing of dead bees in 2012 determined that the majority of the deaths were caused by exposure to the pesticides -- likely through dust generated during seed planting"
Likely means they really aren't sure.

A native of San Antonio and graduate of Highlands High School, Mendoza began playing the violin in the sixth grade. He studied with San Antonio Symphony violinists Sarah Cote, Suzy Perelman, Bassam Nashawait and Stephanie Teply. Mendoza aslso serves as concertmaster for the UTSA Orchestra and the UTSA Chamber Orchestra.
"This is a tremendous honor for Kevin," said Eugene Dowdy, UTSA associate professor and chair of the Department of Music. "To be able to participate in a class with and learn from one of the finest violinists in the world is an amazing accomplishment for any student. We are thrilled that he will have this opportunity."
Recognized as one of the preeminent violinists of our time, Nadja Salreno-Sonnenberg is the youngest recipient of the Walter W. Naumburg International Violin Competition. A musician, author and teacher, she has performed at the White House and recorded and collaborated with artists such as Mandy Patinkin, Joe Jackson and Judy Blazer.

The Ice bowl, The 58 greatest game ever Played, The 2007 Greenbay Championship game were Some of the best games ever where played in Real Cold weather, The Rich NonFan Corp thats got to be at the game and pay The NFLs ridiculous price. Thats whose crying. Its all about money. And theyre comfort.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
In short he's a stop gap. Not very fast, doesn't have great lateral speed, but has 'okay' instincts. Pretty good run stuffer, though. He plays the run bigger than he is (if that makes sense)... he holds his ground. But he also doesn't shed blocks as well as you would think. Not all that great on ST either. I was disappointed in the way he panned out here, but he was serviceable. Definitely not awful.
Here's a link to the entire Saints game, which was probably his best. (I'd recommend watching the videos individually and not in the thread for buffering purposes). http://cowboyszone.com/forums/dallas...s.php?t=249741
The Superbowl location isnt about the game, it is sad to say. It is about the activities surrounding the game.
Sponsors put up tents around the stadium. Merchandise is sold for hours or even days around the stradium. The NFL wants to make it's sponsors money and when it is cold or rainy there is very little foot traffic.
Furthermore the half time show needs to be a big enough performance to keep the ratings at least respectable enough to sell quality commercial time. Half time shows dont go over well in rain storms, Miami was asked to build a new roof over their stadium after the rain during the half time show a couple years ago. The NFL demanded it if they wanted future SBs.
I've only been to one SB. (Nightmare in Tampa). It definitely was more about the spectacle in the days before the game. Just the experience of walking around the stadium and surrounding areas was fun. On local beach, someone made a large sandcastle of Giants and Ravens helmets.Even bumped into a player and celebrity or two. T Saragusa eating at seaside place one afternoon. Endless stuff given away, and really cheap beers from every bar starting right after breakfast each day. Mixing with other Giant fans and even Raven fans was great. No real rivalry between teams then. I don't know how they will be able to duplicate this in NJ in Feb.
Others in my family have been to Arizona and Indy. Arizona was great. Indy OK, according to them.
Having said that, I hope for a real Nor'easter!

Last month, I submitted my first paper to a scholarly journal.
This paper grew out of my work on LinEpig, the reference gallery of dwarf spiders I have been building online. As I was photographing the anatomical structures of one species, they looked familiar. It was one of those "Wait, I've seen this before!" moments. And sure enough, there was already an image in the gallery that seemed identical, with a different species name attached.
To explore whether it was the same, we had to ask to borrow the "type" from Oxford University. The type is the actual individual organism that the species description was based on. This species was described in 1874. When the specimens arrived, I had to work very carefully to avoid damaging these 1-millimeter long pale, bleached, little spiders that had been sitting in a vial in alcohol for 140 years. I also compared them against specimens sent from other museums. In the end, my coauthors and I could find no consistent differences. So in our paper, we declare the more recent species to be the same as the older one - a "synonym" - rather than a separate species.
As I have explained to curious friends, this being a spider paper, we submitted it to the Journal of Arachnology. It has now been logged, gotten a number, and is being sent to spider scientists in the taxonomy and systematics field (which deals with classification of organisms) for review. If the paper is accepted for publication, the reviewers will typically have some questions and suggestions for revisions, which I will then need to incorporate or respond to. This is the "peer review" process, similar to what happens with papers in medical journals and other scientific publications. It is essentially the same, whether the field is large or small.
There is a long tradition in entomology and other natural sciences of amateur scientists making contributions. A famous example is the novelist Vladimir Nabokov, who was a respected lepidopterist (studied butterflies). Here at the Field, Sid Camras, a retired medical doctor, is a world authority on conopid flies.
For me, and others like me in these parts, it is really the Field Museum that makes all this happen. While anyone is free to do research and field work, and to write up their findings if they come across something of interest, if there is no scientific institution in the picture, that can be awfully tough. My project is simple and humble (you can read about it here). But it would not be possible without the research microscope, digital imaging equipment, the vast scholarly library, the tray after tray of specimens in the collection, the chance to work with experts. And there is the institutional backing that would make a place like Oxford University willing to send me irreplaceable material to study.
And this is just one of the many less-known ways that a great museum fosters science and knowledge.

Thanks very much for all your help, as well as IobuWu, Papirosnik, and Martins Mozeiko. However, even after trying everything, I am still unable to get anything but the generic calling convention working on an ARM processor. I've asked a question to Marmalade like you suggested.
I would love to help solve this as it'd make my life a whole lot easier, having chosen AngelScript as the scripting language for the game project I'm working on. The generic calling conventions are also a problem when using things like the "ref" type extension, which I need to let my game objects communicate, but I'll have to modify to use generic calling conventions if I can't solve the cdecl problem.
It appears that some of the suggestions in this thread may have been coded into the newest version of AngelScript (2.25.2) which I am now using. I still have made sure that MARMALADE and _ARM_ are getting defined by putting them into the project manually. Defining AS_NO_THREADS doesn't seem to be necessary anymore (though I have tried with and without). I tried using the *.S files instead of *.asm with scons as suggested (had to delete the comments as I couldn't figure out the correct syntax to change it to), unfortunately I still get the same runtime error when running the scons builds.
It doesn't seem that Marmalade defines _MSC_VER when compiling for ARM from within MSVC. It doesn't seem to define that either when compiling with scons. Perhaps this is the problem, as it gets into the other two just fine when I force that one to true. However, I can't simply do this to make it work as it seems to cause a domino-chain of other compiler errors that I can't fix without intimate knowledge of AngelScript's inner workings.
In an effort to make the problem as clear as possible I've put together a complete "Hello World" Angelscript/Marmalade project that should be runnable on any system with even the free trial of Marmalade installed (and MSVC). It's attached to this message. If this project worked without crashing on ARM it would be like gold to me (I've spent days trying to troubleshoot this). As it is now, here are instructions on how to reproduce the crash:
MSVC way:
1.) Double-click AngelScript_HelloWorld.mkb to open the project in MSVC.
2.) If you'd like, compile the debug or release version for x86 and run it. This is what's supposed to happen (a "Hello World" dialog)
3.) Compile the debug version using GCC(ARM). This should compile successfully.
4.) Hit F5 and this will start the special ARM simulator and debugger.
5.) To see the exact point of the problem, navigate to as_scriptengine.cpp and put a breakpoint on line 2473.
6.) Click "continue" and the program will hit the breakpoint (which means the error has occurred)
(note that _ARM_ isn't actually defined for the MSVC build as I haven't figured out how to do this for only one build with Marmalade. However, even if you explicitly declare _ARM_ in the project settings, the same error occurs because _MSC_VER isn't defined for the ARM compiler)
Scons way:
1.) Double-click the scons.bat file that I put in the same directory as the project files, this should compile to ARM files with scons.
2.) Navigate to the build_angelscript_helloworld_scons_scons_arm directory.
3.) Choose either debug or release directory.
4.) Copy the *.s3e file in that directory to the "data" directory under the project's folder. You can double-click it to run it from there (ignore the Marmalade warning message).
5.) You should get the same result as if you ran the ARM simulator from MSVC.
6.) If you want to debug, you should be able to click the *.s3e file and click "debug." Then you can point the ARM simulator to the generated *.elf file in the directory where the build came from.
That is the situation as best as I've been able to understand it. I hope that this leads to a solution. I've been very happy with AngelScript so far, it's just this calling convention problem that's been driving me up a wall.
Thank you very much,

Has Bend bank robber struck a third time?
Police say the 3 descriptions are very similar
BEND, Ore. - Police are still searching for the suspect who police say entered a NW Bend bank armed with a knife, approached a teller and demanded money.
Now the question many are asking is, is this the same suspect from two other recent bank robberies in Bend?
Police say there are definitely some similarities between the suspect in all three holdups and are investigating them as possibly being connected.
The Home Federal Bank robbery is the second holdup in two months in Bend, and the fifth since last December.
And only one of them has been solved.
Could the man who robbed Home Federal Bank in downtown Bend Monday, be the same person who robbed the south branch of the Bank of the Cascades twice in three months, in December and April?
"There are many similarities in the description of the suspect," police Lt. Paul Kansky said Tuesday.
Those similarities include the same weight, height and clothing description.
"Looking back at the description and the surveillance footage of the previous suspect in those two Bank of the Cascades robberies on the south side, it is possible that they are connected," Kansky said.
And that prompts some added worries.
"I'm concerned as a police officer, as a citizen, that somebody has potentially targeted our banks," Kansky said. "And since some of them may be connected, as targeted them more than once, so that's definitely a concern"
In all three robberies, the suspect was armed.
But what should bank employees do in such a scary situation?
Kansky says they should just comply and give them what the robbers are asking for, and let them be on their way.
"They should be good witnesses, get information about the suspect," Kansky said. "Details that would be helpful to apprehend them. They certainly shouldn't put themselves in harms' way."
So with five recent Bend bank robberies, should bank employees be worried about their safety?
"I definitely think they should be responsible and be aware," Kansky said. "The most important thing is to be aware of their surroundings -- aware of things that are out of the norm."
Kansky says that advice goes beyond banks -- any type of business and everybody should be aware and vigilant for suspects targeting the area.
But Kansky tells NewsChannel 21 he doesn't think Bend has become an easy target for bank robberies.
"I don't believe so," Kansky said. "Bank robberies occur across the state, across the nation. And at times it can be sporadic in various areas, but I believe we are no more susceptible to bank robberies than any other city."
Police haven't yet released the surveillance video or photos from Monday's robbery.
If you have any information on this case, police ask that you call them through Deschutes County dispatchers at (541) 693-6911, or contact Crime Stoppers' Tip Line at 1-877-876-TIPS or use the form at KTVZ.COM's Crime Stoppers page. You can remain anonymous and you could be eligible for a cash reward.

Attunity, a Boston-based enterprise software developer, unveiled a new version of its data replication solution for Hadoop. The update allows for more efficient transfer of information to, and from the analytics engine.
Attunity RepliWeb for Enterprise File Replication (EFR) 6.0 features dashboards and notifications that make it possible to monitor large-scale movements from within the application interface. In addition, new data management capabilities are available on Windows, Unix and Linux, and the underlying technology has been improved to deliver better performance.
ERP 5.0 also features support for several new platforms and services, including AWS S3 (via Attunity CloudBeam), and Hadoop distributions from Greenplum and Hortonworks.
"Increasingly, organizations are using Apache Hadoop because of its ability to store and process hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of data across thousands of servers, while providing a means to run jobs across those machines efficiently," explained Mitch Ferguson, vice president of business development at Hortonworks. "Hadoop is unique because of its ability to process massive amounts of data. Hortonworks shares Attunity's vision to help organizations bridge the gap between Hadoop and Big Data sources more quickly, easily and affordably."
Indeed, Apache Hadoop has spurred initiative across the board. About two weeks ago Hortonworks unveiled a desktop edition of Hadoop that is completely free, and relatively easy to deploy. This scaled-down version is based on the latest release of Hortonworks' flagship distribution, which also puts a big emphasis on usability.
HDP 1.2 comes pre-integrated with Ambari, a configuration tool for Hadoop available under the Apache license. V1.2 features several other enhancements as well, including a reworked architecture that delivers better performance and support for multi-thread queries to Hive. Hortonworks also touts a connector that offers improved integration with traditional database systems.

You will not find any statistics or quotes from an expert in this post. I am simply sharing my experience, my observations and my conclusions.
Fourteen years ago, as a high school freshman, I had to choose between three options, which already way too early started shaping my life a little bit. In the French education system, I was given the choice between Scientific path, Literature path and Economics path. Already at that time, it was common knowledge that picking the scientific option was likely to give you more flexibility in choosing a college few years later. I suppose my parents and I did not question the common knowledge and I am now glad we did not.
Eventually, I did get very much interested in sciences, went on with undergraduate and graduate schools in engineering and landed a first job in a large corporate company and later on in a SME, both in fairly technical sectors, X-ray imaging and aerospace.
I never regretted those choices which, thanks to my parents, were always mine to make. Not because I knew what I wanted to do with my life from the start, and I did not, but because choosing a technical study path let me more easily adapt, change and postpone those life-changing decisions.
If as a high school student or later on as a college student, you cannot decide where your heart lies, in technical or non-technical studies, a good way to look at it is to ask yourself which one of the two would be the most difficult to later on come back to, should your first choice not be the best fit for you.

I'm creating a virtual star chart, to record my progress in Dry July. The star for making it through Saturday 31 July without touching the demon drink is a fallen star.*
(Description: large rock, pockmarked)
This is about half of the Mundrabilla meteorite, which is thought to have fallen about a million years ago. It landed in Western Australia, and although bits of it were discovered in 1911, the major mass was found in 1966 (coincidentally, the year of my birth). About 17 tonnes of rock fell to earth, split into two chunks. This is half of the smaller chunk – about 2,500 kilos. It's an iron meteorite, and the pocks in it were formed by the softer rocks and ores weathering away in the million years when it lay in the desert.
As I did on Friday, you can walk into the foyer of the South Australian museum, and touch this meteorite: run your hands over it, poke your fingers into the holes, see the shiny bits of metal in the rock. It's a marvellous feeling – to be able to connect physically with something from beyond this world.
More details about the meteorite, and a photo of it where it was found: Meteorite Odds and Ends: Mundrabilla Meteorite
My star chart is complete now. I made it!
*This signifies nothing. I still haven't touched the demon drink, even though July has been over for nine hours now.

Best lenses for your Olympus OMD E-M5 / Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3By Kevin Carter - Thursday August 01 2013 Lens Recommendations
As with previous guides, this review is intended to help you make the right choice when selecting lenses, in this instance, for the micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD E-M5 and the rival offering from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-GH3. These two flagship models share not only the same mount, as partners of the Micro Four Thirds alliance, but in this particular instance, a similar 16Mpix MOS sensor as well. The prevalence of high quality primes (and let's not forget zooms) for those cameras makes it, arguably, the most attractive proposition of any of the mirrorless camera systems currently available. Read on to see which lens models are the best performing in the range.
General Overview
Technology Overview
Best performing prime lenses for the OM-D E-M5 and GH3
Best performing zoom lenses for the OM-D E-M5 and GH3
Further readings for the Best lenses for your Olympus OMD E-M5 / Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Panasonic 14-42 f/3.5 5.6 (Version 1) is one of the sharpest lenses ever made.

This a comment for this page on the website
Yes you heard right. It is a mystery why DxO has not reviewed one of the most common and least expensive Panasonic zooms available, the Panasonic 14-42 f/3.5 5.6 (Version 1) Slightly dialed up to 18mm and set at f/8, the lens is unbelievably sharp. Sharper than any prime lenses at that range. It would easily rank in the top 5 sharpest lens ever made at f/8 and/or 35mm equiv. That is an insanely bold statement to make, but you should really check it out for yourself. It really deserves your attention.
Do your primes do this?

Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7
It seems a shame that arguably THE most impressive lens ever produced by Panasonic for the m4/3 lens mount is the 20mm f1.7. Not only is it a stellar performer but it was the first fast normal lens which effectively made the m4/3 system more attractive to photographers. Your list of "BEST" for GH3 and OM-D features quite a few poor lenses but strangely not the Pana 20mm f1.7. Why is this exactly? Go ahead and rate version II, but your readers in years to come would I'm sure be interested in seeing the first version in you archive.
One other point is that the lenses on the GH3 seem to have mostly the same rating as the GH2. Very interesting.

As well as omitting Panasonic's own 20mm F1.7, you somehow managed to review the 30mm and 60mm Sigma F2.8 lenses but omit the Sigma 19mm F2.8, which in its original form also got very good reviews elsewhere.

The 20mm f/1.7 II is definitely in the road map ;). However we will try to get hand on the first version too.

Requested Comments re: GH3 & lenses
You have requested comments re: the GH3 & lenses----Perhaps I can ask of you as well. I lost a GH2 and a 14-140 Panny in the Aegean Sea, however not my 100-300 nor 14-45 Panny lenses. I have since replaced the GH2 with a GH3 but have not as yet replaced the 14-140 which was my go to lens of choice.
The GH2/3's are my travel kit while my default system is a Nikon D600 system. I enjoy the size/weight difference of the smaller system. The menu system of the GH3 is far better, more simple than the GH2.
I have not replaced the 14-140, and I am in a quandary of: purchasing another same lens or perhaps choosing another Panny lens--I really do not know what to do, so your advise please.
I could replace the 14-140 again with another or : perhaps the 45-175, perhaps the primes, the Panny Leica 25mm or the Panny Leica Macro El 45mm----these are within a reasonable budget----I am trying not to "overlap" in my lens selection & with the 2 lenses I presently have, the replacement of another 14-140 may overlap to some degree. What would you do for a 3rd lens?

Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 ASPH
I use you in large part to help me choose new lenses for my OM-D. The only M4/3 lens that is not reviewed is the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7, which is coming out in version II shortly. It is highly reviewed elsewhere, and I'd like to compare it with others on your site. Is there any reason for its absence?
Great work on the others.

Best Lenses Olympus & Panasonic
Alsas, I only have the Olympus E-PL5 rather than the OM-D, but the sensor and performance as you have noted separately are petty much identical.
I have the standard 14-42 and 40-150 Olympus lenses for the E-PL5 and concur with your general comments regarding performance. The results are very pleasing and nothing to criticize. As necessary I pop on my Nikkor lenses with an adapter to fill in the gaps or where I would prefer a fast prime (AF and MF).
Great work, keep it up. Your comparative evaluations provide a great apples to apples reference point for the photographer in the field needing to make a decision on what lens to consider.


text: replaced mine after the driver side bushing went out and kept "popping" when i open or closed the door... only 3 bolts hold it all together, but you have to remove the door panel to get the old one out and the new one in. one bolt (visible), the other two bolts, underneath the rubber grommet in the picture, very easy job! before after before after new(left) old(right) the p.o.s. bushing that was dead only thing is.... the new ones are already creaking!!!

A grant of EPA funds was made available by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in October 1990 to selected southwest Missouri poultry producers representing each of the five major poultry processing companies. The purpose of the grant is to demonstrate the feasibility of composting dead birds in an environmentally sound manner. The grant is administered by Southwest Missouri Resource Conservation and Development, Inc., with technical assistance provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and educational activities provided by MU Extension.
Bill Wallace, of Exeter, Mo., representing Hudson Foods, agreed to participate in the demonstration project. Wallace's concerns about environmental considerations, future regulations pertaining to dead bird disposal and economical management of dead birds were factors in his decision to participate in the project. This guide describes the composting project relating to Wallace's poultry operation.
The Wallace broiler operation consists of two buildings in which 5 flocks per year are grown to a market weight of 4.5 pounds. Table 1 outlines the characteristics of the buildings. Average mortality rate in these facilities is about 4 percent, with peak rates at 10 percent.
Table 1Building type and bird capacity in the Wallace operation
The composter serving this operation is a pole-type structure with monoslope, rafter-type roof construction and a short overhang to partially cover the work area. Primary composting bins are located along the front of the structure, with secondary compost storage along the back of the building.
An ingredient or litter storage area with sides enclosed with metal for rain protection is included in one end of the building as shown in Figure 1. A concrete work area, partially covered by a roof overhang, is provided in front of the composter.
Figure 1Plan view of the Wallace composter.
The three primary compost bins are 8 feet wide, 5 feet deep and 5 feet high, and are made with treated lumber. The secondary compost bin is 24 feet long, 8 feet wide and 5 feet high. Total composting volume is 600 cubic feet in the primary bins and 960 cubic feet in the secondary bin. The ingredient storage bin is 8 feet wide, 13 feet long and 5 feet high and provides a volume of 520 cubic feet. Figures 1 and 2 show dimensional and structural characteristics of the Wallace composter.
Figure 2Cross section of the Wallace composter.
Wallace estimates an average of 30 minutes per day is spent layering dead birds and ingredients in the composter. Wallace says he prefers the composter method of dead bird disposal over his former method of pit burial. Wallace estimates 20 tons of finished compost will be generated each year in his composter.
He uses a 25 hp tractor with a 4-foot bucket on a front-end loader to move and load compost. Finished compost is spread by a hired contractor. He noticed that compost containing excessive straw is difficult to handle with his loader. Table 2 shows a laboratory analysis of the finished compost fertilizer value from the Wallace composter.
Table 2Analysis of litter and finished compost in the Wallace operation
Composter costs depend upon many factors such as site characteristics, composter design, size, etc. Table 3 shows costs incurred for the Wallace composter as constructed in November 1990.

When I was a kid a toy gun was just that, a replica of a gun that – if you were very lucky — might make some sort of noise when you pressed the trigger. With the technology available today, toy guns have developed much further, and now augmented reality is becoming more common as a way to enhance the experience. This is the case with the new Doctor Who Appgear Anti-Time Device, which is linked to iPhone, iPod Touch or Android devices to create a first-person shooter experience in your own home. There is also a second version of the toy which does not include a smartphone dock and is a more traditional toy weapon.
Firstly, I have to admit that it's a source of slight consternation to me that the Doctor Who franchise should produce a range of toy guns when the character himself is generally against the use of such items, but that's a matter far above the remit of a simple toy review. It is worth noting that although these are "guns" they are not called as such anywhere on the packaging and they do not "kill" the enemies you target; instead the devices fire a gateway that sucks them into the Time Vortex — although whether a child would pick up on this subtlety is not entirely clear, especially on the non Appgear version.
The Appgear device works by connecting to your smartphone or iPod which is held securely by a padded clamp to create a view screen on which you will see your current environment in real time. You will need to first download the free Cleric Wars app in order to play; when you initially run the app you'll get the back-story of the Cleric Army, how it came to be in the Doctor's self-imposed absence and how they created the device you're holding (a Q.L.A. – Quantum Lokk Accelerator – Anti-Time Device) from scavenged parts of Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels. The back-story is great and worth listening to even if you don't buy the toy as the app is free, in fact you can even play the first level without buying the Q.L.A. device at all by tapping your finger to fire instead.

As a programmer, I love the idea of joining a hackerspace: A space where I can work on personal and community projects to explore new areas of programming that I may not be familiar with. As a maker, I love the idea of joining a makerspace: A space where I can have access to tools, materials, and resources to build and tinker with things. As a working mom, I love the idea of joining a mommy group: A group where I can find moral support and camaraderie.
Put them all together and what do you get? A maker-programmer-working mom desperate for a space where she actively grow with her child rather than placidly watch her child grow. I have searched high and low for a space or group where my particular brand of crazy would be welcomed; the kind of crazy that always has dirt under her fingernails, paint on her pants, glue in her hair, algorithms in her head, and wacky overambitious ideas in her heart. It is during this desperate search for mommy tinkerers that I found Mothership HackerMoms, the first hackerspace for women.

Nathalie est très préoccupée du bien être de ses locataires et son studio est une bonne adresse sur Toulon , avec piscine en plus ce qui est plutôt agréable pour les chaudes journées du mois de Juillet .
Bjr.nous avons passée de très belle vacances... Nathalie est une hôtesse disponible et très gentille ,l'endroit très calme et bien reposant et la piscine très propre... Belgique.
Einfach alles perfekt! Das Studio in Toulon war an einem sehr ruhigen und angenehmen Ort, eigener Parkplatz und sehr herzig eingerichtetes Studio. Nathalie hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert! Wir freuen und auf das nächste Mal!
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
Very nice apartment. Nice view from the balkony and shops nearby. Close to the metro and the bus.
I visited Paris with my daughter in May and stayed at Nathalies studio. It was nice and colourful and the view from the balcony was amazing! It was clean and we could do some small cooking in the kitchenette. We lacked WiFi but it was not far away from KFC and Mc Donalds, as well as restaurants and shops/bakery. We could recommend this studio for others! /Nina from Sweden.
We've enjoyed Nathalie's place very much. The apartment is nice and clean, within easy access to the city center, a couple of mins walking distance from the metro. At the ground floor is a convenient mini-market and around the corner a little patisserie that has great fresh bread and cakes. During our stay we haven't seen Nathalie and no one has disturbed us. In the evening after long day of sight-seeing we loved staying on the balcony and enjoying a glass of wine. Looking forward to re-visit Paris and definitely we will be booking again Nathalie's place.
I wont say much but that hospitality was the worst i have ever seen..People was really impolite and we had many problems.The house was fine but people was very rude and they blamed us also they send me an email with things that me and my girlfriend did wrong in order to write good thing on review otherwise they will say that we were late on arrival meeting and that was true but we didnt have a good explanation on how we arrive at the appartment.we didnt say "heeello" more vigorously and she start acting like crazy blaming yelling although we didnt react like her and tried to calm her and we tried to have a conversation but was really difficult.She asked us "sorry" "sorry" because me and my girlfriend decide to leave but was more complicated cause payment was through paypal and we coudlnt so we stay ignoring what happend that damn first day and tried to relax and have fun as we did..The only thing that they cared was the deposit of 150€ that they send 2-3 mails to give the money when we will arrive... At least we meet Paris and we had fun but Alone without our housekeeper heling us with any advise or instruction.
This studio flat is a perfect place for a short stay.
Nathalie is very gentle and helpful, she provides you all sort of useful info and she gives you access to her paradise.
Low points are the distance from the metro station, the small space (avoid to bring large luggages, as she advises) and the sofa bed (not much comfortable and very noisy). If you are in Paris for a short stay with light luggages, this is the right paradise.
Very nice apartment with amazing views over the Paris buildings. It has all we needed for our holidays. The person who waited us in order to give us the keys was very correct and friendly. We highly recommend Nathalies apartment in Paris.

It's a bright and spacious apartment, very good location to spend a few days in Madrid as a tourist or business travel, as it's strategically located near the demand areas such as Malasaña, and Chueca, and within walking distance around the centre of Madrid, and in any case a few minutes distance if you chose the public transportation (subway or bus), from which you can enjoy a complete tour of the city and visit the museums of Madrid (El Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia, ecc.)
The Apartment is also very near of the business centre of La Castellana and just minutes from Serrano Street, in the luxurious Salamanca neighborhood.
The area is a lively district with tapas bars and some of the best restaurants and night spots. Steps from the Canal Theatre, Science Museum, Museo Sorolla and the football stadium of Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabeu.
In a word: perfect!
The Apartment sleeping up to 4 or 6 people is furnished in a simple and functional way. It has two bedrooms, one bedroom with two single beds and another large one with a double bed, both with balconies facing the street, two bathrooms, living room and kitchen well equipped with a small patio. And also has a parking space if necessary, included in the price.
House rulesWhen arriving in Madrid please phone to inform us about your arrival at least 55 minutes in advance. If coming by plane, please call once you have claimed your luggage so that our staff has time enough to go and wait for you in the apartment.
In order to guarantee the return of the apartment in perfect conditions, a 200 € DEPOSIT will be requested, refundable once the apartment and its belongings have been returned in proper conditions.
Check-in from 21:00 pm to 1:00 am must pay an extra charge of 20 €;

Reviews of this property
Pretty convenient location. The apartment has everything it advertises and
functions adequately. The apartment is not large and furnished modestly.
It was easy enough to check in though there were a couple of fees.
Too many problems which seriously affected the vacation. Beware.
1. The Internet was not working properly. The owner told me it would be fixed but after 2 days said it was not her fault and nothing she could do about it. So I had to be running out of the apartment five or six times a day to to a café to be able to get my work done.
Owner refused to provide partial refund
I escalated the issue to wimdu and I'm waiting for a response from them
2. The listing indicates there is a parking spot. Misrepresentation as spot is down a very narrow ramp with three 90 degree turns only fit for SMART car or a mini .Very dangerous to take a midsize car so I had to spend a lot of extra money to park on the street or in a nearby lot. Again the owner took no responsibility for the misrepresented listing
We loved the apartment, very well located and the garage is a major bonus, the descent is narrow, but low normal drive rather carefully.
The only thing I did not like is that we put the crib, the mattress very bad and there was no way that the girl slept there .... otherwise everything great! Susana a charm! Thank You
El apartamento nos ha encantado, muy bien situado y la plaza de garaje es un extra muy importante, es estrecha la bajada,pero un coche normal baja bien con cuidado.
Lo único que no me ha gustado es la cuna que nos pusieron, el colchón muy malo y no hubo forma de que la niña durmiera allí....por lo demás todo muy bien! Susana un encanto! Gracias
The apartment is very well located, you can quickly Walk underground in different directions. Slightly lean kitchen equipment and exclusively defective chairs! But that could change quickly indeed. Otherwise, all good, especially the beds were good! Regards Ralf
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, schnell kann man die U-Bahn in verschiedene Richtungen erlaufen. Etwas magere Küchenausstattung und ausschließlich defekte Stühle! Aber das könnte man ja schnell ändern. Ansonsten alles gut, besonders die Betten waren gut! Viele Grüße Ralf
Located in a very lively area with many shops and close to the underground. Within walking distance of a major boulevard. Apartment is well equipped with a little laborious shower: difficult to maintain the temperature and small. Payment of 40 euros for extra cleaning does not feel pleasant: that requires a hotel either.
Gelegen in een heel levendige buurt met veel winkeltjes en vlakbij de ondergrondse. Op loopafstand van een grote boulevard. Apartement is goed uitgerust met een beetje moeizame douche: moeilijk op temperatuur te houden en klein. Betaling van 40 euro extra voor schoonmaken voelt niet plezierig: dat vraagt een hotel ook niet.
Great. The spacious, clean and with all the necessary floor. 100% recommended and very good situation. Comfortable for a family trip. Thanks Maria.
Genial. El piso amplio,limpio y con todo lo necesario. 100% recomendable y muy buena situacion. Cómodo para un viaje en familia. Gracias Maria.
The very clean and cozy apartment very central and equipped with all necessary amenities PRODUCTS clean coffee teas etc.
The only two drawbacks that the driveway is practically inaccessible for a van and I think we should contact you and then the TV in my room did not work refused to pay me 40 euros for cleaning do not know why I gave no answer my husband near term van and unable to put it back out.
Also I have to say that when I refused to pay the 40 euros no problems.
The girl who gave us the keys very correct and polite.
Otherwise highly recommendable an apartment.
El apartamento muy limpio y acogedor muy centrico y equipado con todo lo necesario produsctos de limpieza aseo café tés etc.
Las dos únicas pegas que la entrada al garaje es practicamente inaccesible para una furgoneta y creo que deberian avisarlo y luego la tele de mi habitación no funcionaba me negué a pagar los 40 euros por la limpieza porqué no sé me dió ninguna solución mi marido termino rozando la furgoneta al no poder meterla y salir marcha atrás.
También tengo que decir que cuando me negué a pagar esos 40 euros no hubo problemas.
La chica que nos entregó las llaves muy correcta y educada.
Por lo demás un apartamento totalmente recomendable .
All perfect. Maria very correct, the apartment great at all, he has not missed anything, well located, clean and with everything you need.
Only one little problem, the garage has difficult access, if the car is bigger, better forget it.
Thank you Mary for your kindness and service.
Todo perfecto. Maria muy correcta, el apartamento estupendo en todo, no ha faltado de nada, bien situado, limpio y con todo lo necesario.
Solo un problemilla, la plaza de garaje tiene dificil acceso, si el coche es grande, mejor olvidarse de ella.
Gracias María por tu amabilidad y el servicio.
Very friendly welcome, information on the environment, reliable observance of the appointment upon arrival. Rented apartment already 2 years ago, "good" but unfortunately seems to be no renovation, the (renewed details of equipment, vacuum cleaners) a very good turn a good stay would. still recommended.
Sehr freundlicher Empfang, Infos zur Umgebung, zuverlässiges Einhalten des Termins bei Ankunft. Wohnung bereits vor 2 Jahren gemietet, "gut" aber leider anscheinend keine Renovierung erfolgt, die aus einem guten Aufenthalt einen sehr guten machen (Details der Ausstattung, Staubsauger erneuern) würden. trotzdem empfehlenswert.
It was very nice.
Es war sehr schön.

Some things in life are very dependable. Every year, for instance, the swallows return to Capistrano.
And you can also count on Dan Mitchell to wax poetic about the looming collapse of French statism.
- Back in 2011, I said France was engaged in economic self-destruction.
- In September 2012, I wrote that it was time to start the countdown for France's fiscal crisis.
- In October of that year, I pontificated about France's looming fiscal suicide.
- Last April, I warned that the fuse was burning on France's fiscal time bomb.
- In June of 2013, I stated that the looters and moochers in France were running out of victims to plunder.
- And in October of last year, I expounded on France's economic death spiral.
Geesh, looking at that list, I guess I'm guilty of - in the words of Paul Krugman - being part of the "plot against France" by trying to discredit that nation's economy.
Or maybe I'm just ahead of my time because we're now seeing articles that almost sound like they could have been written by me appearing in establishment outlets such as Newsweek. Check out some amazing excerpts from an article by Janine di Giovanni, who lives in France and serves as the magazine's Middle East Editor.
…what is happening today in France is being compared to the revocation of 1685. …the king closed churches and persecuted the Huguenots. As a result, nearly 700,000 of them fled France, seeking asylum in England, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa and other countries. The Huguenots, nearly a million strong before 1685, were thought of as the worker bees of France. They left without money, but took with them their many and various skills. They left France with a noticeable brain drain.
It's happening again, except this time the cause is fiscal persecution rather than religious persecution. French politicians have changed the national sport from soccer to taxation!
Since the arrival of Socialist President François Hollande in 2012, income tax and social security contributions in France have skyrocketed. The top tax rate is 75 percent, and a great many pay in excess of 70 percent. As a result, there has been a frantic bolt for the border by the very people who create economic growth – business leaders, innovators, creative thinkers, and top executives. They are all leaving France to develop their talents elsewhere.
It's an exaggeration to say "they are all leaving," but France is turning Atlas Shrugged from fiction to reality.

I think every nationals has a junior competition and now there's even the youth olympics. So why not a junior 4cc and European championship? Would it be too expensive? Not enough time? Or perhaps just too many competitions for some of the younger skaters?

LFI students in San Juan working on economic development project
LFI program earns innovative achievement award
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, College of Business
(Aug. 13, 2008)--For the second time, the UTSA College of Business has won the Bobby G. Bizzell Innovative Achievement Award from the Southwestern Business Deans' Association. The award was presented to the college's Latino Financial Issues (LFI) program last spring.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Promoting wealth and asset building among Latinos is the goal of the LFI program. The yearlong integrated academic and service-learning program exposes students in multidisciplinary fields to community economic development, financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
"This innovative program distinguishes us from other business schools," said Lisa Montoya, College of Business associate dean for undergraduate studies. "Through its unique complement of programming, LFI not only educates UTSA students about the economic plight of Hispanics in the United States, but also steps in and acts to make a difference in the community."
The program explores what it means to be out of the financial mainstream and how that affects the economy. According to recent studies, 50 percent of the Latino community operates outside the financial mainstream. "These individuals do not use banks, have a credit history or have a means to apply for mortgages or secured loan products," Montoya said.
Students participate in academic coursework as well as service-learning projects throughout the one-year program. The culmination is an internship with a community economic development organization.
