Watching a 1080p/24 Blu-ray - Iron Man - reveals pictures on the TV that seem to lose not one pixel of image data, and which seem to suffer with no extra noise caused by the HD broadcasting process. Walking between the screen and the media box doesn't cause the signal to break up either, and it's worth noting too that there doesn't appear to be any significant delay between the media receiver obtaining a source and it being wirelessly transmitted the screen. This latter point will be a relief to console gamers.
The only problem revealed at this stage is the fact that the picture you're watching isn't actually 1080p/24. This is because the wireless system apparently handles 1080i - though curiously when the receiver shook hands with my Blu-ray player, it chose an output from the player of 1080p/60. If you want the screen to receive 1080p/24, you'll have to use the monitor HDMI input built into the screen itself.
Turning to the issue of whether the TV's slimness affects its performance is less straightforward. And I guess the simple answer is that actually, yes it does.
The key to why this is so lies in the LED lighting the TV employs. For unlike standard LED TV we've recently tested, the 40ZX1's LED backlight array doesn't lie directly behind the screen, but rather lies around its edges - a development that's responsible for the TV's ground-breaking slimness.
These edge-mounted LEDs throw light across the screen using reflective sheets, with angled sections within these sheets steering the light forward and out of the screen. Unfortunately, though, this approach - for now, at any rate - stops the 40ZX1 from being able to employ that key LED trick of local dimming, whereby the multiple LED arrays that make up an LED TV screen can be controlled individually.
The lack of local dimming inevitably damages the 40ZX1's contrast versus the terrific black level efforts of Sony's X4500 and Philips' 42PFL9803H LED models, since it can't deliver such extremes of bright and dark within the same single frame.
As a result, really dark scenes in Iron Man, such as those in the desert cave where Tony Stark is held hostage, definitely suffer with more greyness than you get with the X4500 'true' LED models.
That said, the 40ZX1's black levels still look deeper than those witnessed on all but the very best standard LCD TVs, and even give one or two of the world's weaker plasmas a run for their money. They're stable, too, and don't suffer with the slight 'blooming' issue witnessed on some LED sets, most notably Samsung's 956 series.
The 40ZX1's colours aren't quite as intense as those of the X4500 range, presumably on account of the set not having RGB LED dimming. But again that's not to say that colours aren't still very likeable, with solid saturation levels, good blend subtlety from the Full HD resolution of the screen, and mostly impressively natural tones. Only a tiny undercurrent of green during some very dark sequences causes any concern - provided, at least, that you don't leave the TV on the truly dismal Vivid image preset, and opt for Cinema or a carefully calibrated concoction of your own instead.
at long last a manufacturers moved away from the now tiresome 'piano black' to a somewhat less obtrusive finish

" Address: International Dr 4951 / International Drive Orlando / FL 32819 / USA "
I recently went on holiday to Florida, and I was told by the hotel/holiday rep to try out the Orlando Premium Shopping Outlets, as I mentioned that I love shopping. There are actually two of these Premium Outlets, one located at each end of International Drive, Orlando.
I was staying on International Drive, so it was quite simple to get to the outlets, and there is actually a bus called the I-Ride which takes you to both Outlets and is only $1.25 a ride, or you can buy passes from your hotel.
I was expecting the Outlets to be a smallish place, but it was amazingly huge and it did take a little while to work out where everything was. It is an outdoor mall, with some parts under cover, and the food court is located inside. There were quite a few signs and maps around to help you find the stores you wanted, or just to help you find the way out!!
As well as stores there were stalls located all around the outlets too, which sold all kinds of things ranging from phone covers to kids toys. There is also a massive array of outlet stores, and you can find pretty much anything you need here.
The stores include Ed Hardy, Bath and Body Works, Fuzzywigs Candy Store, Claires, Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, Juicy Couture, Dickies and DKNY. There is a massive collection of other stores, where you can buy clothes, gifts, shopping, cookery items, shoes, accessories and home furnishings.
Weekdays the outlets are open from 10am until 11pm, and on Sunday's they are open from 10am until 9pm. These times may vary throughout seasons and holidays so please try to check before you go.
I had a great time shopping at the Outlets, and I spent a fair few hours there and good few dollars. I got everything at amazingly great prices and I was really pleased with how much I got for the money I spent.
All the stores were tidy and well presented, and all of the staff in each store were polite, helpful and friendly. I can not say anything bad about this shopping trip at all.
If you were to drive to the Outlets there is a massive car park, which is free to park in whilst you are shopping in the Outlets. There are plenty of spaces, including disabled access spaces and spaces for larger vehicles, like mini-vans etc. There is a bus stop directly outside for Lynx buses and the I-Ride bus, so transport is not a problem, no matter where you are staying or how much shopping you have.
If you get the chance to visit International Drive, I would say that The Premium Outlets is a must go-to place, especially for those who love to shop. You really can get some brilliant deals on amazing items and it is a very pleasant and relaxed shopping experience.
I give the Orlando Premium Shopping Outlets a 5 out of 5 stars and I totally recommend this mall to everyone.
*this review is also on Ciao under the user name of Hailee*
Orlando's Premium Outlets is a large shopping outlet, located at 4951 International Drive (I-Drive), Orlando, Florida. I visited the Outlets during May 2012, and this review is based on my experience.
Getting to the Outlets by car looked to be fairly easy, with them being located nearby to the Universal Exit (75A) on the I-4 road. There is ample car parking available at the centre.
The Outlets are well served by public transport however, with a Lynx bus running to and from the Centre daily. The Outlets are also served by the well-known "I-Ride" Trolleys that run up and down International Drive, and this is how we travelled to the Outlets.
Paying only $1.25 each for our fare, the Trolley took around 15 minutes to travel from our stop (Trolley stop number 15) to the stop at the Outlets (stop number 1). There is no fear of getting off at the wrong stop, as you have to tell the Trolley driver where you are going and there is a sort of loudspeaker playing in the Trolley to tell you which stop is coming up. In addition, Stop number 1 is the end of the line, so you don't need to worry about missing your stop for the Outlets as this is where the service terminates. The Trolley service runs every 15 minutes, so you shouldn't need to wait too long for your Trolley to arrive at your chosen stop on I-Drive.
It is worth noting that there are two branches of Orlando's Premium Outlets located in Orlando. There is the branch on International Drive that I am reviewing here, with the second being found at Vineland Avenue, which is towards the opposite end of International Drive. We were advised that the Outlets at Trolley stop number 1 were the best of the two and they were closer to our hotel than the second branch, making them the most convenient choice for us.
The Outlets are mostly outdoor, with some sections between the selection of stores being under cover. If you imagine a sort of outdoor 'retail park' that you can find in just about every town in the UK, the Orlando Premium Outlets are along the same lines, but on a much larger scale.
The stores are mostly designer, and I will admit that a lot of them weren't of any interest to me. I enjoyed window shopping however, and the selection of stores that I did venture into were nicely presented for the most part.
The stores are presented in 'blocks' that are situated opposite each other, to form a little sort of paved 'street' which has a covered 'roof' area on top. There are several of these 'blocks'(perhaps 16 or so), some which contain only a couple of large shops whilst others have several smaller shops in a sort of 'row.' This is all rather difficult to describe but hopefully you get the idea.
On the day that we visited, it was a beautiful sunny day and we found the covered areas between some of the 'blocks' of shops offered a little shaded respite from the blazing sun. One thing that I thought was slightly disappointing however was the distinct lack of seats available in these covered areas. I suffer from some mobility problems and need to sit down often whilst out and about. There was a small bench of seats to be found in most - if not all - of the covered 'street' areas, but this was usually fully occupied when I reached it and I had to look around elsewhere. Most of the time we had to sit in the blazing heat (on the only other seating to be found) just so that I could rest for a while. I would have much preferred a seat in the cool shade but I think I only managed to find one free seat in these areas during the whole time we were there. To be fair though, I often find that retail parks and shopping malls in the UK have insufficient communal seating areas provided too, so this problem is something that I am more than used to having to deal with.
There were far too many shops at the Premium Outlets to list in a review, but I will give you an idea of the type of stores that can be found at the Outlets, together with a selection of examples for each type.
Firstly, there were a selection of Gift & Cosmetics shops. I am listing these first not because they were the stores with the highest quantity, but because they were my favourite and I visited several of these stores at the Outlets. One of my favourites within the whole of the Shopping Outlets was the Yankee Candle Store, a must-see for any fan of the well-known Yankee range of products. Not only was I able to snap up a whole selection of fantastic bargains for myself, but I was able to purchase several USA-exclusive scented products and I thoroughly enjoyed my time shopping in there. Other stores in this genre include Crabtree & Evelyn (a beautiful shop with gorgeous products), Perfumania, Elizabeth Arden, and Fuzziwig's Candy Factory. The latter is quite over-priced for some items but both my husband and myself had a good time in the store looking at the assorted candies and chocolates.
There was a generous selection of shoe shops available to choose from, with big brands such as Converse, Sketchers, Foot Locker, Adidas, Nike, Puma and Timberland. Some of these shops looked to be absolutely huge, but I wasn't in many of them.
A selection of clothes shops for children were available to choose from, such as Gap Kids and Tommy Hilfiger Kids. There wasn't much in the way of toy shops or other entertainment to amuse youngsters in my opinion, although we did stop by Disney's Character Warehouse for a look. I was quite impressed with the ranges of discounted Disney-themed clothing and accessories such as mugs and tableware, but I thought the selection of soft toys was severely lacking. I think this was a ploy to get me to purchase my Mickey Mouse toys and paraphernalia at FULL PRICE from the Disney Parks perhaps? Either way, I though the selection of Disney toys in this store was disappointing, although I did buy a T-shirt and a few Mickey Candies for souvenirs.
There was a huge variety of fashion stores, although I didn't venture into many of them myself, as I had a limited time at the outlets and there were too many other stores such as Yankee Candle that I wanted to visit. I thought there was an impressive range of stores however, ranging from Top Designers such as Juicy Couture, Calvin Klein and Lacoste to slightly more 'casual' stores such as Levis Outlet Store, Banana Republic and Gap Outlet, so plenty to choose from, whatever your style, budget and taste.
Jewellery & Accessories stores are always going to be a popular choice for yours truly, as I absolutely love browsing for these items when in America, finding them to be of excellent quality and usually of a much lower price than in the UK. A favourite American designer store of mine, namely Kate Spade New York have a branch within the Premium Outlets, and it was the first store I visited on my shopping trip. Whilst the items on sale are expensive, the quality is second to none in my opinion, and I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through the attractive store at my leisure. Another popular choice within this category for me was the Fossil shop, which I was only in for a short time but I thought it was beautifully presented, with some gorgeous items on display.
A full list of all 170 or so 'Outlet Stores' that can be found with the Orlando Premium Outlets can be found at www.premiumoutlets.com, together with a downloadable "Center Map" and some other information that may be helpful before you visit.
There are ample restrooms provided throughout the Premium Outlets, with the main restrooms being located in the food court and another three toilets being found at additional locations throughout the outlets. We found that they were well signposted and we had no trouble with locating them, however they weren't particularly well maintained, especially given the overall high impression the Outlets are trying to achieve, in my opinion. The hand dryer didn't work, and I found the floor was a bit wet and slippy, which posed a rather dangerous hazard in my opinion. The second lot of toilets that I used only had toilet paper in one of the stalls and no soap. The overall impression was just rather sloppy and reminiscent of a run-down UK service station or similar. Surprising, considering the rather high-end stores and immaculate appearance of the Outlets elsewhere.
There are public telephones at four separate locations throughout the Outlets, as well as a good choice of vending machines which offer a selection of cold bottled water, candy and fizzy drinks. These were a valuable find to us on the day that we visited as the temperature was so high and we ran out of water. There are three ATM machines located at various points throughout the outlets.
As I have already mentioned, I suffer from mobility problems, so prior to visiting the Premium Outlets I had researched online and found that there was a Wheelchair Hire facility within the Management Office at the Outlets which can be found near the Lynx Bus Stop, next to the information office. This gave me peace of mind as I have needed to use a wheelchair at various shopping malls and centres in the UK. It turned out that we only visited the Premium Outlets in Orlando for a half day, and as I was able to locate a seat and take regular rests (albeit in the blazing sunshine!) the wheelchair wasn't needed for my own needs, but it may benefit other readers to know that the facility is there. I am unsure of rental prices (or the chairs may well be free to use) as I didn't use one myself. In terms of walking around the outlets with limited mobility, I had no problems as the Outlets are completely flat, with little or no steps except for perhaps the odd kerb, and of course there is (somewhat limited) seating provided throughout. One thing to bear in mind however is that the Outlets are really huge, much bigger than your average shopping Retail Park in the UK. This is America of course, and most things can be found on a much larger scale than in the UK. Shopping Malls are no exception to this rule. If you need to use a walking stick some of the time whilst at home (like myself) then my advice would be to bring it with you when you visit the Outlets.
There is a "Stroller Rental" facility that can be found near the Management Office at the same location already listed. Lockers are available for hire, and are also to be found near the Management Office. There is an 'Information' booth/office as well as a Foreign Currency Exchange booth/office to be found near the Management Office, although I didn't need to use either of these so cannot comment on their efficiency.
There are dining options available within the Premium Outlets, although I had limited time available on the day I visited so we didn't eat within the Outlets. There is a large food court to be found near the centre of the Outlets, which was inside and offered several options such as Haagen Dazs, Subway, Chicken Now and Jack's Steakery. There was a couple of 'carts' offering drinks and beverages and I think a couple of snack options that were located opposite the food court area, but I didn't investigate these so can't comment too much.
In conclusion, I felt the Orlando Premium Outlets offered an excellent shopping experience whilst visiting Orlando. I thought the choice and selection of stores within the Outlets was fantastic, with something to suit most tastes and budgets. The clothing and shoes for sale were of the same quality as I am used to seeing in the UK, but of course are available for a much lower price, and in some cases this looked to be up to 30% cheaper than UK prices. As I have already stated, my shopping time at the Outlets was rather limited, but I did manage to make some excellent purchases with my favourites being from the Yankee Candle Shop, where I purchased a massive bag of assorted Wax Tarts and Small Glass Jars for around $40. The same - or similar - products in the UK would have cost me at least three times this price, so hopefully this will give you an idea of the type of savings to be found in the Outlets.
I felt catered for whilst shopping at the Outlets, and the fact that there were wheelchairs available offered me additional peace of mind before I arrived. I thought the Outlets were EXTREMELY easy to find, particularly if travelling via the I-Ride trolley, which was a pleasure to use. The trolley stops being situated so close to the Outlets made this a highly convenient way to travel to them.
I think the Outlets deserve a four star rating. I feel it necessary to deduct one star for the insufficient seating that is provided throughout. Considering we visited on a quiet weekday morning, the shops were very busy and there were many tourists and shoppers visiting. The lack of seating was something that I noticed almost immediately, and I feel that the limited seating would have been even scarcer if we had chosen to visit on a weekend day. I was also disappointed at the condition of the public restrooms and felt that they did not live up to the high standard that could be found elsewhere throughout the Outlets. Other than these points however, I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping spree and would highly recommend visiting the Outlets if you are looking to bag some bargains from quality fashion retailers and American gift shops.

Publisher Ubisoft officially announced Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag on Thursday, finally confirming rumors about the next entry in the seemingly endless but highly profitable game franchise.
The game will be released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U, with "60 minutes of exclusive gameplay" in the PS3 version, according to an image released by Ubisoft.
Ubisoft wasn't quite ready to reveal full details about the game's release, but it's clear from the materials that have made it out that the game will feature pirates. The publisher was forced to show its hand early thanks to online leaks, including an image of a poster published by Kotaku. Media outlets that have seen Black Flag under embargo will report on the game this Monday.
Black Flag is actually the sixth main series Assassin's Creed game, although Ubisoft has licensed dozens of mobile game spin-offs, books and even live-action short films in the franchise. The most recent entry, Assassin's Creed III, has sold over 12 million copies since its release last November, according to the publisher.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Republicans today blocked a bill by Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Robert Casey (D-Pa.), that would have saved jobs and strengthened state safety nets for our country's most vulnerable families. The Job Preservation for Parents in Poverty Act (S. 3849) would have extended the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Emergency Contingency Fund until December 31, 2010. The cost of the bill was fully offset and would have extended benefits set to expire on September 30, 2010.
The Job Preservation for Parents in Poverty Act is also co-sponsored by Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), Roland Burris (D-Ill.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), and Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.).
Since its creation in 2009, the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund has provided states with funding to create approximately 250,000 subsidized jobs for low-income individuals. The fund has also been used to strengthen state safety nets by providing basic cash assistance to the poor families to help with basic needs like housing and heating bills, domestic violence services, and transportation costs. When the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund expires this Thursday tens of thousands of jobs will be lost as well as this vital assistance for low-income families.
"This extension is fully paid for and widely supported, yet every time we try to pass it we're met with a unified wall of resistance," said Sen. Kerry. "We can't keep getting caught up in political games at a time when workers are hurting and more Americans are living in poverty than at any point in the past half century."
"This federal initiative has funded the Put Illinois to Work program -- helping 26,000 people find meaningful jobs in Illinois," said Sen. Durbin. "Many on the other side of the aisle have taken a party-line position to oppose this bill no matter what, which is unfortunate for those Americans who are trying to find a way to survive in this economy. With an unemployment rate of 10.4%, my state needs this program. The loss of 26,000 jobs would be a crushing blow."
"This program works and has created over 12,000 jobs in Pennsylvania where it has the support of workers, employers and local officials," said Sen. Casey. "Unfortunately, these people will lose their jobs if Republicans in the Senate don't drop their opposition."
The Job Preservation for Parents in Poverty Act is fully paid for by reducing the regular TANF Contingency Fund in FY 2012 by $500 million. In a procedural move, Republicans objected to proceeding on the bill thus blocking the extension of the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund.
Senator Kerry has worked to preserve this vital program since March, when legislation he co-authored with Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to extend the program was blocked by Senate Republicans. This TANF Emergency Contingency Fund extension was subsequently included in legislation and again blocked by Senate Republicans in May, June, and September. Earlier this month Senator Kerry joined with 30 other Senators in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus insisting that a one-year extension of the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund be included in any upcoming legislative package.

Delta to Give Pilots Surface 2; Pilots Reportedly "Fought Hard" for iPads
Jason Mick
October 1, 2013 3:55 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft gets a big plug, but not without some vicious rumors as well
Delta Air Lines, Inc. (
), the world's
largest airline
in terms of passenger traffic in 2012, gave Microsoft Corp. (
) a big boost when it announced that it would be buying all of its pilots new
Surface 2 tablets
, which run Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8.1 RT operating system.
I. An Enterprise Win For Microsoft, Windows 8.1
A press release by Microsoft describes:
Device rollout to pilots flying the Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 fleets will start later this year and all Delta cockpits are projected to be paperless by the end of 2014.
Delta's flight operations SVP, Capt. Steve Dickson, remarks:
Delta's electronic flight bag running on Surface 2 continues the technological strides Delta has been making to give our crews the best tools to keep them flying safely and efficiently. This intuitive device puts key information at their fingertips right when they need it. By eliminating paper, we'll reduce clutter and minimize time spent looking for flight information allowing our pilots the opportunity for greater situational awareness in the air and on the ground.
The move comes in the wake of shift in how wireless devices on aircraft are perceived. The
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has found in recent studies that the weak wireless signals in
narrow bands of wireless spectrum
used by mobile devices were not capable of
interfering with airplane electronics
as previously suspected. This has in turn allowed both pilots -- and
potentially even passengers
-- to use wireless devices like consumer tablets
during takeoff and landing
In the wake of those developments most major airlines have replaced or are eyeing replacing their "old school" pen and paper flight logs with tablets loaded with custom flight logging apps. Traditionally an airline had carried up to 45 pounds of paper for flight logs, charts, and manuals. This massive accumulation of paper not only burned fuel by adding to the flight weight, but also led to occasional errors and time-consuming searches by pilots.
The switch from its current 38-pound paper flight bags to the more modern Surface 2 flight bags is expected to save Delta 1.2 million gallons of fuel annually, while also cutting the airline's paper consumption by 7.5 million sheets.
II. Pilots are Reportedly Disgruntled, Employee Accusations Mount
American Airlines (owned by AMR Corp. (
)), the world's fourth largest commercial airline, adopted Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL)
for flight-logging purposes and has been rolling out the tablets over its fleet,
ever since December 2011
The pickup of the Microsoft tablets by an even larger fleet is perhaps the biggest enterprise win for Surface yet. Delta reportedly aims for "full deployment" by the end of 2014, which would likely mean one Surface 2 for every one of its 11,000 active pilots.
Delta is paying Microsoft around $5.5M USD for the tablets, which will retail for $449 USD on the consumer market when they launch on Oct. 22. Reports indicate this expense should be more than worth it -- eliminating paper flight logs will save around $13M USD per year.
Surface 2
Even better for Microsoft, Delta has also been giving its 19,000 flight attendants Windows Phone by
Microsoft subsidiary Nokia
, which used Microsoft Dynamics to track customer in-flight purchases. The
Nokia Lumia 820
began rolling out to flight attendants in August, according to Delta.
III. Pilots Lobbied for iPad (Reportedly), Complain That Delta is "in bed with Microsoft"
The first-generation Surface has proven a major market dud, even if it did receive generally neutral-to-favorable reviews and earn some respectful nods for its slick design cues. After taking a
$900M USD charge
(loss) on unsold first-generation Surface tablets, Microsoft has been
dumping them off on the market at bargain-bin prices
, even
giving them away for free
as part of its "Bing for Schools" program that's ostensibly supposed to drive search engine traffic towards Microsoft's Bing.
While Surface sales -- as a whole -- have struggled, sales of Microsoft's Windows RT have been especially bad as consumers have forsook the ARM-powered Microsoft devices due to their lack of compatibility with legacy x86 Windows software. The new deal could provide a boost to the
struggling Windows 8.1 RT
platform and vindicate Microsoft's decision to cling to
poor-selling ARM devices
But given this lukewarm consumer reception, it's perhaps not surprising to see some employees speaking out against the deal. One disgruntled Delta pilot reportedly accused Delta's administration of being "in bed with [Microsoft]",
according to
Apple Insider
. He said, "We fought hard for iPad."
Apple Insider
piece in a roundabout way seems to allege that Microsoft agreed to route its corporate flights through Delta as a kickback to sweeten the deal, and heavily wooed Delta's information technology department staff.
Pilots reportedly wanted an Apple iPad.
As for the specs of the Surface 2 versus its current-generation Apple competition (
the fourth generation iPad
), the Surface 2 looks good in most categories, except trailing slightly in screen resolution).
The Surface 2 features a lower resolution display than the current fourth generation iPad (1920x1080 vs. 2048x1536). The devices have comparable physical storage capacity (up to 128 GB), although Microsoft's Windows recovery partition consumes several additional gigabytes cutting the usable storage space. However, the Surface 2 features more memory (2 GB vs. 1 GB for the current iPad). Both devices weigh approximately the same, while the Surface 2 is slightly thinner (8.9 mm vs. 9.4 mm for the iPad).
The Surface 2 packs a faster Tegra 4 processor from NVIDIA.
Both tablets use chips that license ARM Holdings Plc's (
) instruction set. The Surface 2's NVIDIA Corp. (
) system-on-a-chip appears to enjoy a healthy lead over the Apple chip in compute-heavy applications, and a narrower lead over its competitor in graphics-bound applications. Apple's proprietary A6X 1.4 GHz dual-core chip was blown away (
499 milliseconds to finish
for Tegra 4 vs. 865 ms for the iPad) by the
NVIDIA Tegra 4
in early Javascript Sunspider benchmarks, a compute-heavy application, while earning a narrower win in GLBenchmark 2.5, a graphics-heavy benchmark (57 frames-per-second, versus
51 fps
for the iPad 4).

Danny Tebbenkamp flies across the snow on an airboard, an inflatable sled that Tebbenkamp has incorporated into his local extreme-sport excursion company, Boardom Bound. Tebbenkamp first rode the boards early this winter and moved quickly to add them as an option, citing their appeal to adventurers and families.

Airboarding offers a new way down for snow enthusiasts
Danny Tebbenkamp explained that it was the ease and potential wide appeal of airboarding that drew his eye to the sport. Tebbenkamp, who runs the Steamboat Springs-based Boardom Bound extreme sports excursion business, was looking for something to keep the customers coming throughout the winter that didn't come with the high demands of snow kiting.

The veteran Australian full-back, who will be 36 in February, had another year left on his contract but the Wolves say they have decided to release him so that he can pursue other options.
Hodgson has recently been linked with a move to Salford, who have already acquired the services of Warrington captain Adrian Morley for 2014.
A statement said: "Warrington Wolves have agreed to release Brett Hodgson from his current contract at the end of this season, granting him the opportunity to consider a number of options open to him.
"All at the club would like to thank him for his service to the Wolves and wish him well for his future."
Warrington have a ready-made replacement in the versatile Stefan Ratchford, who has deputised at full-back seven times this season.
Hodgson has missed two of Warrington's last three matches through injury but has been named in coach Tony Smith's 19-man squad for Thursday's play-off semi-final against Huddersfield at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Hodgson, who represented New South Wales in State of Origin, was 32 when he arrived in Super League in 2009 after a long and distinguished career in the NRL with Wests Tigers and Parramatta.
But he had a superb spell as captain of Huddersfield, where he won the Man of Steel in the first of his two seasons in West Yorkshire, and has since given the Wolves three years' valuable service.
Hodgson has so far made 75 appearances for Warrington, scoring 788 points and kicking 315 goals, and won the Lance Todd trophy as man of the match in their Challenge Cup final win over Leeds at Wembley in 2012.
Warrington are asking fans to stay behind at the end of Thursday's final home game of the season to pay tribute to Hodgson and Morley, as well as Garreth Carvell, Tyrone McCarthy and Rhys Williams, who are also leaving the club.

Pentagon is 'preparing for missile strike on Syrian government' as evidence piles up that Assad lunched chemical attack that killed at least 1,000
Am I missing something here? I recall that BEFORE America went into Iraq, President Bush petitioned other countries to garner their approval. President Obama doesn't care about approval? Doesn't want approval? Doesn't need approval? Isn't Congressional approval also needed here? –Veronica Coffin
By Michael Zennie
- U.S. Sixth Fleet moved missile destroyers closer to Israel to put them in position for attack
- Joint Chiefs Chairman will present President Barack Obama with a strike plan on Saturday
- Obama seemed to put the brakes on talks of a unilateral strike, saying that the U.S. would need a coalition or U.N. support
- Government of Bashar al-Assad denies using chemical weapons and blames rebels
The U.S. military is preparing for a long-range missile attack on Syrian government targets, it was claimed today.
The revelation comes as evidence piles up that the murderous regime of Bashar al-Assad was behind the suspected chemical weapons attack Wednesday that killed an estimated 1,500 Syrians in a Damascus suburb.
The preparation for a military strike could mean that President Barack Obama intends to make good on his threat of 'enormous consequences' if Assad crossed the 'red line' of using chemical weapons against his own people.
Warning: Graphic images
CBS News reports that 'The Pentagon is making initial preparations for a missile attack on Syrian government forces.'
Commanders of the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean ordered warships to move closer to Israel, so they would be in better striking range to hit forces in Syria. The maximum range for Tomahawk Cruise Missiles is about 1,500 miles.
Possible targets include command bunkers and missile sites that could be used to launch chemical-tipped missiles.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey is expect to present the plan for a missile strike to Obama at a national security meeting on Saturday.
CBS News points out that the missile strikes would likely be more tactical than strategic. They are unlikely to topple, or even significantly destabilize Assad's regime.
Instead, U.S. generals are hoping that such an attack could send a message to Assad – and also thwart future chemical weapons attacks.
Still, the president played down the likelihood of a unilateral attack on Syrian government forces and seemed reticent to use military force.
'If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it – "do we have the coalition to make it work?"' he told CNN in an interview broadcast Friday.
United Nations Security Council backing for a strike on Assad seems unlikely. Russia, which has veto power, is a staunch supporter of the Syrian government and has blocked any decisive action against Assad thus far.
CBS News also reported U.S. intelligence assets detected activity at known Syrian chemical weapons facilities before the attack Wednesday.
On Friday National Security Adviser Susan Rice tweeted that the mass casualties in Damascus were an 'apparent chemical weapons attack.'
'What is Bashar al Assad hiding? The world is demanding an independent investigation of Wednesday's apparent CW attack. Immediately,' she wrote.
The Syrian regime has strongly denied that it has used chemical weapons, however the regime refuses to allow United Nations inspectors into the country to examine to site and confirm whether chemical weapons were used.

Fantasy Football Site Information
Huddle Testimonials
Here is just what a few Huddle members have to say about us.
"There is no way that you can be serious about Fantasy Football without an Internet service. The Huddle provides me with invaluable information. It is the easiest and less expensive way to separate yourself from your competitors. There is no way that I could have won the $200,000 WCOFF Championship without the Huddle. The quality of information is outstanding. Being in 4 leagues does not take as much time as some may think because the Huddle makes it easy and fast. If you want to win your league use the Huddle."
- Paul Friel - WCOFF $200,000 Champion
"I've been a Huddle member for two years. The first year we won the "points" title but lost the first round of the playoffs. This year we took everything points, record, ranking, $$$$$, and THE CHAMPIONSHIP!! I must say that your timely insights helped us draft and maintain the best team from top to bottom throughout the entire season. Thanks a million and see you next season."
- Jerry Mitchell
"I have been a subscriber to The Huddle for a few years. I have other online subscriptions to different publications, but I find The Huddle to be the most accurate and timely. Through the information I obtain from The Huddle, I have a definite advantage on acquiring players far in advance of my competition. The Huddle is the first publication I renewed this year and so far the only one. Thanks for helping me keep ahead of the pack."
- Jim C. Fultz
"I have been a member of The Huddle for 9 years. I find The Huddle's information very helpful in my draft league as well as any salary cap game like "sportsbuff.com". Player rankings for many different scoring systems, where each position is ranked in tiers for easy comparison and also includes projected stats for these players. The article about ranking players on the basis of good game consistency (BTA) helps you identify the players that will truly help you win a championship. The Huddle has the best 'Ease of Schedule' ranking system I have ever seen."

I just wanted to applaud the tremendous job you guys do with The Huddle. I
wanted to say thanks for all the help your web site has given me over the
last 3 years. I have been a fantasy footballer for 15 years and know the
game inside and out. Though I have always been successful, I think the
information I can access through your web site has been invaluable over the
last 3 seasons. I have finished first in total points in an National
Fantasy Football Championship league 3 years in a row along with winning a
couple other private leagues. I have turned numerous friends onto your

I've been with you pretty much since the beginning (albeit with different user names). I was flipping thru this week's SBL and updated projections, when I sat back and looked at the amazing number of tools and sorting methods you guys have put together. It's really fantastic, a passion. Congratulations on a successful 10 year journey - looking forward to the next 10.
- Lance Cooley
I don't usually do this, that is send fan mail, but I have to say I'm officially a huge fan of The Huddle! I've been a member of The Huddle for three years and each year I say to myself "Why am I spending money to play Fantasy Football let alone paying for research?" But each year I pony up and am always glad I did. Each of the years I have played in least three leagues and have decided that that's all I can handle. Each of the years I have won the championship in one of the leagues which are attributed to The Huddle. This year is different. I think I have done something that might be fairly unique. I am in 3 Super Bowls!
- Kenny Barnes
I wanted to let someone at The Huddle know that thanks to your drafting info and in-season advice I won my second Fantasy Football Superbowl in a row. This makes 4 super bowl championships for me and at least 6 playoffs since I started using the huddle! You guys make me look like a genius!
- Tom "Tominators" Ray
Just a short note to say "Thanks!!" I subscribed to "The Huddle" this year based on the recommendation of a colleague at work. It is by far the best Fantasy Football site I have used. I was in 3 leagues this year; and I followed all of The Huddle recommendations as close as I could. The results......(drum roll)........... 2 Firsts & a Second!! THANK YOU!! I will be renewing in July!!
- Bob Daniels
I just wanted to take a moment and say a big Thank You for providing such a great fantasy football information service! I've been playing fantasy football for over 20 years now, and when I first began never needed any advice on how to win a league. But now that fantasy football has evolved so much and so much information is available out there, leagues are much more competitive, and I had lost my edge, making Championships hard to come by. But now that I've found you guys, I'm back!! This is my second season using The Huddle and I won all 3 of my leagues this year! (and several of my league members use fantasyguru.com). I am in very competitive leagues. This was a banner year for me or anyone that plays the game! You've got me as a subscriber for life! Keep up the great work, and Thank You!

I finally won the Championship in a 12 team league of tough dedicated diehard fantasy football fans (Cluster Fluffed Fantasy Football League) in Kitsap County, Washington. I have been taking your advice for a long time. Here's what you have done for me… 4th, 4th, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st. I won this year with a 12-4 record. Your site has been very accurate all these years and will guarantee I'll be a lifetime Huddle subscriber. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to thank you AGAIN for your Huddle website. I have won my fantasy football league for the second year in a row.

Great site. You helped me win my league. Our league is the WFFL and I was the head to head champion and total point champion. Could not have done it without "The Huddle".

This album, featuring collaborations Jon Anderson made with various independent musicians, was originally released last year, in a very limited release.
In late 1997 (released in 1998) a thing of beauty was recorded between opera singers and rock guitarists called "Angelica."
Ant-Bee is basically the pseudonym for Billy James.
Those who enjoy instrumental prog that borders fusion and space rock will enjoy this release.
Jon Butcher is a true talent of rare proportions, and this is a masterpiece of the AOR / prog variety which cannot be quite compared to anything he's recorded prior or since.
A theatrical disc, this is a rock opera.
When you've got an album with both Alan Davey and Bridget Wishart as the main contributors, comparisons to Hawkwind are obvious.
Glen Drover is perhaps best known for his work with Megadeth and King Diamond along with his band Eidolon.
When Keith Emerson and Greg Lake enlisted Cozy Powell because Carl Palmer wasn't available at the time, I thought it was a strange idea.
About Face is not your average run of the mill piece of work from David Gilmour, but that was the intended purpose, as he said when he released it.
Jessica is Jeff Green's still-born daughter and this album is really a tale of coming to grips with that loss.
After his last outing Time, Space and Electric, Todd Grubbs returns with a strong and very playful concept.
Putting together an album of purely instrumental music and having it work start to finish isn't easy.
This is the two CD edition of Steve Hackett's Out of the Tunnel's Mouth.
It is safe to say that if you are an avid reader of Music Street Journal, then you are not only a fan of recorded song, but of live performance as well.
Proving that Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson is one of the most prolific and consistently superior songwriters in rock, this double-disc collection compiles the entire abandoned album, dubbed the Chateau D'Isaster Tapes, recorded at the Chateau D'Herouville near Paris in 1973.
Unlike its predecessor, This Was, this album sounds like Jethro Tull.
According to Jethro Tull's website, This Was got its name from Ian Anderson who wanted to make a statement that the record's blues sound reflected a temporary nature of the band's sound.
Jethro Tull really switched gears with this 1974 release.
2KX is the permanent band formed from the recent international prog endeavor, Lisa LaRue Project 2K9.
After Kerry Livgren's excellent solo debut in 1980, he waited a few years before his second.
Marillion are included in the progressive rock section of Music Street Journal because in the beginning they were very definitely prog.
The debut from The Memorials is the kind of album that fans of heavy, complex music who are thirsting for something new and original with which to fill their ears will definitely appreciate.
Although there's no question that not everything here fits as progressive rock, there's a lot of prog throughout and Jeremy's other music is prog, so this one's getting included in that category.
While this is really more like dark electronic music, I've included it in the progressive rock section because it really isn't that far removed from some stuff by other electronic groups that get set in prog.
This is a reissue of the classic A Tab in the Ocean album from Nektar.
This is the fantastic deluxe edition of one of Nektar's best.
I'm going to make a bold statement here and say that Phideaux is arguably the best new progressive rock band on the planet.
Pilgrim Speakeasy albums are always cool.
Tony Carey spent some time putting together these tunes to have an outlet for a side project between solo albums.
The Queen catalogue is finally getting the deluxe treatment so I feel it is only fitting to take things all the way back to the beginning.
Although this disc isn't necessarily a tight fit into progressive rock, it really kicks and virtually every song has some prog built into it.
While Child Roland's Underground disc wandered near to progressive rock, this one truly crosses the line into that genre.
Apparently there is truth in advertising as Klaus Schulze is big in Japan.
Coming from many of the same people who brought us Strange Aeons, and it resembles that release in a lot of ways, although the story here seems more coherent.
It can be difficult to create an entirely instrumental disc and maintain a real sense of vitality.
Fusion is, by definition, a combination of rock and jazz sounds.
For such a successful songwriter, keyboardist and sometimes vocalist, Eric Woolfson was relatively anonymous as essentially one-half of the Alan Parsons Project.
After the Alan Parsons Project called it a day, primary songwriter Eric Woolfson went on to produce several works for musical theater.
Black 'N Blue have come a long way after all this time, and this long awaited release did not come easily or quickly at all. Jaime St. James is revitalized, as are the whole band.
When you think of thrash metal, bands that naturally come to mind are probably Slayer, Sepultura and Biohazard just to name a few.
You kind of know what you're going to get when the new Electric Wizard album arrives.
When they released Monday Morning Eclipse, Evergrey took to pulling their sound a bit toward numetal, and I'd say that was a mistake.
This is the first time Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi have done any recording on the same project since 2006 when Iommi guested on Gillan's Inn, a career retrospective dual disc of re-recorded classics of Gillan's.
This review lacks somewhat in details because they're from Brazil and my Portuguese is much worse than my Spanish.
Hearing this album without consulting information on the band, I thought they would be European.
In the opinion of many, The Rods should have been one of the biggest metal bands of the 1980s and beyond.
This album is good, but a bit uneven.
When was the last time you had fun listening to a band? I'm talking about real fun.
Beady Eye includes singer Liam Gallagher, guitarist Gem Archer, and bassist Andy Bell, who were once the core members of Oasis from 1999-2009.
Nashville based Danielle Bloom, describes herself as a "kick-a**, hard driving, rock-n-roll goddess," on her MySpace page.
The whole genre of horror influenced punk is pretty cool.
Christopher Cross certainly had a string of hits way back when.
As the sub-title of this album (and the separate disc titles) suggest, this album works in a jazz motif that at times (on the first CD) is quite funky.
Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny are captured in what might not be their exact finest hour.
This is a reissue of a live recording of Rory Gallagher.
After a blessed life for its creator, Jeff Healey's music will never die.
When Kingdom Come first emerged way back when, I remember being drawn to them because of the Led Zeppelin-like sound.
How does one go about reviewing a disc like this?
Duff McKagan is best known as a founding member of both Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver.
One look at the cover of the new Nazareth disc gives the impression that the band is looking to get back to their roots.
Brian Robertson is best known for his work with Thin Lizzy (and a very brief stint with Motorhead), and this is his first solo album.
Childe Roland's music sits in the territory of psychedelic music, but also garage band sounds and David Bowie type glam.
Buffalo's fabulous Miss Y is back with a new CD sure to please all blues lovers, some who love country, and even gospel fans.
After many years without a thought about Michael Stanley it's nice to be reminded with such a quality product.
Tower of Power has been creating their unique brand of soul since Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka met in 1968.
Featuring hard rocking adaptations of Frank Sinatra songs, this is kind of a mixed bag.
What an amazing set this is.
When this was originally released on DVD, Greg Olma reviewed it for Music Street Journal.
If you like rock and roll, this is a DVD to have. It's a 1998 performance for Bill Wyman's A.I.M.S. (Ambitions, Ideas, Motivation, Success) project.
Fans of Rick Wakeman don't often get to see him performing solo live.
Interview with Billy James of Ant-Bee from 2011
Interview with Jean-Paul Gaster of Clutch from 2011
Interview with Clint Lowery of Sevendust from 2011
What was billed as "An Evening With Amon Amarth" started the first stop on the tour in Chicago for a sold- out show at the Bottom Lounge.
If you have ever been to The House Café in downtown Dekalb, then you are probably aware that it is a great place to see live music, as well as an atmosphere that welcomes bands that aren't your typical bar-bands.
I have seen Rush in concert many, many times but these last couple of shows in Chicago have been among their best.
There have been countless discussions on whether Thin Lizzy should be out there doing tours without Phil Lynott.
I have always been a UFO fan. The guitarists that have collaborated with Phil Mogg have always been top notch.

I've been thinking about getting a Remora for a while. After reading this thread - the latest in what appears to be a unanimous acclaim for the Remora amongforum members, I decided to try one for my PM9. If I like it, I'll try them for my full sized next
Anyone try 1 with a 1911?
tnoutdoors9 has a good youtube review on them. They are getting rave reviews from everywhere.
Went to their webpage and asked if they made one for a 3'' N frame S&W if they do I'll order one.
Based on this thread, plus reviews from the manufacturer website and YouTube, I finally bought a Remora for my new M&P 9.
I ordered the reinforced lip with sweat shield and a double magazine carrier. They should be here any day now.
Keeping fingers crossed that I get them before the weekend. I'm sure I'll be another satisfied customer. I'll post my opinion when I get it and try it out.
Not a 1911, but my BHP stays in place in a Remora while wearing drawstring gym shorts. It does, however, print a little...
You have all convinced me. For the cost of a couple boxes of ammo it's worth a try. Just got an email that my Remora for my M&P9c has shipped. Looking forward to giving it a try.
You've all convinced me too. I'm willing to give it a go. Order shipped today.
To bad I dont get a cut of the sales commissions! You guys will really like these holsters and the price makes it even a better deal.
Been wearing mine since it came in last week and still zero issues. Wore it today to a job interview and never once was concerned about it moving or my gun coming loose. Ordering another one on Friday.
And small chance you don't like it they will return your$$ if you send it back. Sometimes make you a new one with your specs...Anything to make u happy. I prefer the reinforced without sweat shield fwiw
These look really cool, and I want to try one....but with no clips, what do you do if you use a public restroom? Do you not use urinals, and just always use a stall and take it out and set it aside?
Sorry for the dumb question.
Not dumb at all. I'm interested in the answer as well.
A urinal shouldn't be a problem at all really, unless you drop trouser to pee. :) in the stall I would assume you'd just hold it while you go?

Want to tell Jennifer (a/k/a Wingonwing) how sailing changed or saved your life? Do it in the thread. And read all about Jennifer's story below, ripped from Medium.
Sailing and Cancer are not words found often in the same sentence. In fact, my "cancer life" and my "sailing life" were so contradictory that they seemed to never overlap — hence the beauty of putting the two together and founding a competitive sailing program for cancer survivors.
I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at 17. I'm lucky in that Hodgkins is considered more curable than many other malignancies, especially if it is diagnosed before it has spread to the bone marrow. My cancer was treated with surgery and six months of chemotherapy; I had to delay college by a year, which I now jokingly call my "gap year independent study in the oncology experience." In reality, I spent a good part of that year in bed, clinging precariously to life, seriously underweight, completely bald, and vomiting frequently.
When I finished chemotherapy and was declared free of cancer, my mom and dad planned a family sailing trip to the British Virgin Islands. Although it wasn't my first time on a sailboat, it was the first time that I became truly interested in sailing as a sport. I found great solace in harnessing the wind for speed. In short, I soon discovered that while I had been successfully treated for cancer, I had caught another disease which has no cure — the "sailing bug". That trip to the Caribbean was the start of a journey that would guide me, year by year, more seriously into the sport of sailing, from that first cruising experience through getting my charter skipper certifications, learning to race, participating in regattas in the US and Europe, and eventually buying my own boat and skippering a race team.
Many sailors claim that sailing keeps them sane. The positive impacts of sailing on mental health may be more literal than most believe; people often get "in the zone" when sailing or into what is scientifically called a "flow state". In a flow state, focus and concentration are at their peak, to the point where a person loses feelings of self-consciousness, self-doubt, anxiety, and even physical discomfort. Repeatedly getting into flow states can help us become vastly happier, more productive, and mindful.
Cancer survivors often deal with significant after-effects of surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. These effects can be physical in nature, including fatigue, pain, and neuropathy, as well as emotional, such as the fear of cancer recurrence and survivor's guilt. These detrimental physical and emotional after-effects can hold people back from moving on from cancer and reclaiming their health and their lives. Many cancer survivors feel isolated, lonely, and as if they are looking for a new purpose in life. Forging a connection between sailing and cancer survivors starts to make infinite sense when you think about the healing effects of being in a flow state.
These same issues that cancer survivors face can be mediated by the experience of flow, and flow can be found in sailing. Sailing is also a sport that doesn't require a high level of fitness to get started in, but can hugely improve physical ability, strength, and flexibility over time. Sailing is a team sport and has a welcoming global community; it's difficult to feel lonely once you begin to meet fellow sailors. It's possible to enjoy sailing as long as you live, and it can provide new, exciting goals or opportunities to pursue, whether it is cruising, racing, ocean crossing, or simply mastering new positions on the crew.
For me, sailing was a major factor in helping me find beauty and passion in my life after going through one of the worst and most terrifying experiences that a person can face. Through time spent on the sea, I've come to realize that we are limitless beings, able to cross oceans, harness the elements, travel in harmony with nature, and help each other push the boundaries beyond what we had ever thought was possible. I want to bring this passion to survivors who may be feeling limited by their experience with cancer and help them rediscover that the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves.
I chose the name Resilience Racing for this team because we all have our own stories of resilience. Life is a series of small changes and evolutions that often mean reinventing ourselves, overcoming adversity, and making a comeback. Cancer survivors understand the essence of resilience; most sailors do as well. I believe that through Resilience Racing, we can prove that we have not been limited by cancer and what it put us through, but instead that we are, as the great French sailor Florence Arthaud would say, "living to the limit".

Sure, Wild Oats XI has only been beaten to Hobart twice, and her skinny bottom means she's one of the best all-rounders ever built for the coastal races she was created for. And sure, Comanche has Stan Honey, Jimmy Spithill and Kenny's entire Puma Team, and a design that should be faster than the once-frightening Perpetual Loyal (ex-Speedboat). But Loyal has several secret weapons – among them Sydney supersailmaker Michael Coxon and a brand new kite said to be 'the biggest spinnaker ever built'. Plus, they have a new website!
And then there's this weapon – ASP surfing world title contender Sally Fitzgibbons, who joins Anthony Bell's charity-driven campaign for this year's crowded Hobart race (remember when Clean grabbed a midnight interview with Jess Watson aboard Loyal last winter?). She'll certainly add some motivation to the boys, and they'll likely not waste a chance to have another crew hiking and packing kites. She'll also add thousands more eyeballs – and hopefully, the donations that go along with them – to one of the greatest spectacles in yachting: Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day. And this year, it might be the greatest ever. At least until they let the multihulls in.
Lou Reed is responsible for the title.

While it's a little early to burn your bras in support of Team SCA, the pink ladies have most certainly answered any questions the world may have had about their ability to hang with the men of the VOR. That's thanks to a brave call from Libby G to split from the fleet toward the Spanish shore, where shift and velocity launched the girls clear into the lead at the last real geographical constraint until they get into the islands. Will the Northerly position pay as the fleet heads out into the Atlantic? Discuss it in the Leg 1 thread. And check out the girls Flickr page for more great shots from Corinna. Track the fleet here.

Face of a fashion star, kiteboarding ability of a superstar, body of a porn star. An unabashed self-promoter and a fan of Sailing Anarchy. Could this be the perfect woman? Maybe not, but she's certainly our Sailor Chick of the Week; watch the video to see why.
And head over to Hannah Whiteley's Facebook Page for much, much more.

In heartbreaking news from England's South Coast, the body of one of Britain's top young sailors was found late last week near a car park in the New Forest. 17 year-old Jess Eales uploaded the pic you see at left to Facebook just hours before her death, which neither police nor coroners have explained, though news reports say they are not treating it as suspicious. There are only a few scenarios where a dead 17-year old in a car park in a forest isn't suspicious, but it shouldn't be long before we all know more so we'll just keep our mouths shut until the government has a chance to explain. Jess had celebrated her 17th birthday the day before she was found.
Jess had just returned from the Youth Worlds in Portugal, a rising star in skiffs and cats. We're told her sailing circles in the Lymington and Hayling Island communities are in shock; despite not knowing Jess, we're pretty shocked too. This shit isn't supposed to happen to 17 year olds.
We will update you when there is more information available. Until then, share your thoughts in the thread. As for the title, it's rare that Morrissey and sailing ever mix, but there's a first time for everything. NOTE: Don't click if you don't want to be even more depressed. It's a Smiths song, after all.

Our gal pal Nic Douglass continues to burn up the internet airwaves with her Adventures of a Sailor Girl radio show, and this week, she says her show was 'massive!' We don't know about that, but we do know that we love this petite blonde dinghy sailor's attitude and pluck, and encourage you to give her show a listen. It's an hour's worth of mostly music peppered by interviews and monologue about racing sailboats. Nic tells us about her show:
At 5:36, we caught up with the awesome Howie Hamlin after his 5o5 North Americans win, and all that is ahead for him this year. So many adventures to draw from that no doubt make him the fantastic sailor that he is today, and always great to talk to!
At 18:00, I managed to catch Red Bull Youth AC skipper Jason Waterhouse straight from the Alps at the GC32 Austria Cup – too awesome! With his team, skippered by Sebastian Cole, they had two bullets just before I spoke to him. Great to hear that all is going well for this dedicated cat sailor.
At 36:13, last but definitely not least, Stacey Jackson, a great friend, called in from the Canary Islands to touch base about all that is happening for Team SCA leading up to the Volvo Ocean Race. She has promised to be in touch regularly, after the Canary Island race, and also following the UK/Ireland race when all the boats should be out racing. We chatted for a decent amount of time off air as well – and it is just amazing to hear what she has been up to.
At 56:30, I talked about my adventure for the week, involving a very serious story about M&M's post-racing at the CYCA Winter Series race today!

This week's Sailor Chick of the Week was a no-brainer; 23-year old Grace Lucas is smart, sassy, fast as hell, and just helmed her way to fourth place in an extremely competitive Charleston Melges 20 fleet, losing the podium spot she'd held through 6 races after a last-leg charge from Michael Kiss's Bacio. Grace is finishing her college career this year after 3 years on the CofC sailing team; here's hoping she doesn't get so sucked up in the employment world that she gives up sailing. Get to know Grace more in two interviews our own Mr. Clean did with the young NJ native, and enjoy tactician and Melges fixture Sam Rogers' new nickname.

For many years I have done some varriation of a Thankful Tree. This year with two kids at such different levels of ability and interest I cam up with this tree that they could both contribute to in their own ways.
You will need some craft paper, crayons, markers, tape to keep it on the wall, and some paper leaves and tape.
Start by drawing the outline of a tree.
Have your child who is too little to write or verbally contribute things they are thankful for color it to their hearts content . This is why I didn't cut the tree out carefully, so there is room for big scribbles.
Now invite your older child to do some writing ( they can color too of course!). Write things you are thankful for on the branches.
I did some too.
Tape the stems on and bend the laves to cover the words. We like covering them then trying to remember what we are thankful for. We alays end up thinking up something new. Then have fun over the next few weeks adding more leaves, and coloring more. Ours has been up a week or so and it's getting full!
This isn't the prettiest Thankful tree i have ever made but I love it because the whole family contributed, it's dynamic and that is way more special than something pretty no one can touch!

Del Mar: Pacific Classic score puts Game On Dude in familiar position
This content is part of a free preview of DRF Plus. Click to learn more.
DEL MAR, Calif. – With six straight wins, five this year, including three in Grade 1 company, Game On Dude has put himself in position to be named Horse of the Year at year's end, a feat he could have pulled off in both 2011 and 2012 had he won the Breeders' Cup Classic.
He failed those two times, but now will get a third chance to end a campaign the way he has started it. A victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic would mirror his ascension in the Pacific Classic.
Game On Dude finally broke through the Pacific Classic wall Sunday at Del Mar, winning that race for the first time in his third try. He came into the Pacific Classic off a seven-week layoff, and because he has done so well with time between starts, his trainer, Bob Baffert, said Monday that Game On Dude would make his next start in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, bypassing a prep in the Awesome Again – a race he won last year – at Santa Anita on Sept. 28.
[DEL MAR 2013: Complete meet coverage, schedule, race replays]
"That's the plan," Baffert said Monday morning.
Game On Dude received a Beyer Speed Figure of 109 for his 8 1/2-length romp, his 15th victory in 27 starts.
"He made a statement yesterday," Baffert said.
Game On Dude trained strongly coming into the race, seeming to thrive with more time between starts. Game On Dude began the year with a runaway win in the Feb. 3 San Antonio Stakes, his first start in two months, and when he won the Hollywood Gold Cup on July 6, he had been off again for more than two months. He will now have more than two months off coming into the BC Classic, for which Game On Dude earned a fees-paid berth Sunday through the Breeders' Cup's Win and You're In program.
Game On Dude, who started in post 10, just outside Delegation, took the lead shortly after the start of the Pacific Classic, with jockey Martin Garcia aggressively diving to the rail when jockey Luis Contreras oddly elected to maintain a straight path on Delegation for the first quarter-mile, which kept Delegation in the middle of the track.
"Dude, we knew he'd run good, but we didn't know what would happen the first 100 yards," Baffert said. "That was very bizarre. We capitalized. Martin made the right move. He went down there."
Garcia regularly works Game On Dude. He picked up the mount for the Pacific Classic because Joel Rosario, originally named on the horse, broke his left foot at Saratoga on Friday. Rosario was to replace Mike Smith, who had ridden Game On Dude in his five previous races, but opted to be at Saratoga on Sunday to ride Royal Delta in the Personal Ensign, which she won.
"Martin has learned from watching Mike on how to get this horse to slow down and relax in his races," Baffert said. "Mike always lets him catch his breath before the quarter pole. He said you can feel Dude take a deep breath. Martin did the same thing."
John Sadler, whose runners Kettle Corn and You Know I Know finished second and third, said he was "very, very happy" with the way his horses performed in the Pacific Classic.
"We were kind of promised some pace, but it didn't happen," Sadler said. "When a really good horse like that gets his own pace, he's tough to beat."
Both Kettle Corn and You Know I Know have done well on synthetic surfaces, but with Game On Dude passing the Awesome Again, that dirt race will loom a tempting target for many who futilely chased him Sunday.
Dullahan, who won the Pacific Classic in 2012 but was eighth Sunday, "came out of the race good," according to his trainer, Dale Romans, who said Dullahan would return to Churchill Downs this week.
"He just didn't seem to fire," Romans said.
It's good to see that the East Coast sends out their runners to get trounched by the Dude, the B.C.Classic will be run on the West Coast and I just don't understand why the best East Coast runners don't come West to run against the Dude to prep for the Classic. Maybe because they know the Dude is much improved from last year and are just ducking him until they have to meet in the B.C.Classic
Wise hasn't beaten anyone either...he is running solely on grass and the best horses in America doesn't run on grass
He should come east and take on the big boys and show whats he made of
It's actually a good thing that Game On Dude gets no respect. I'm pretty sure it makes (and will make) success taste sweeter when the "mountain" is climbed. The best sports films have that element. Everyone pooh pooh, but the protagonists keeps his/her nose to the grind.. training and improving until one day... it becomes undeniable when that shining moment arrives. :-))
Any kind of early pressure for Game On Dude in the BC Classic and he's toast.
Can he run on dirt?or just a synthetic freak
Well it turns out the Pacific Classic was timed poorly and Game on Dude ran this race in 1:59 and change. I have to retract some criticism of the field quality because that's some running any way you slice it. That said I probably will still go against him in the Classic, especially if he is shelved between now and then.
The Dude will skip is papa's named stakes race which he won last year to run in the BC Classic.. Is that not like 9 weeks from now. That too much of a lay-off? I'm no horse trainer but that seems like allot of time.. I mean look what happened to one of this years top 3 year old in Orb after a long lay-off between the Belmont and the Travers.. Orb had his spirit broken on the stretch .. I'm go for you G.O.D! Stay healthy!
How many G1's do you have to win against all comers to get some respect??? GOD will run in the BC Classic and there will be 13 other horses trying to take him out, in many different ways, just as they did in the Pacific Classic. He may not beat all of them, but how good would Mike Tyson look trying to beat several major fighters at one time. There will be several horses in the race just to challenge his speed and than there will be some stalkers ready to pounce, and than the late closers will come running at him. Didn't that just happen in the PC. and talk about quality, most were graded stakes winners and or Classic winners. You talk about heart!!!! He only gets beat after the bullseye on him has been shot at many times in each race. The only way he could lose HOY is if he gets an easy lead and than Mike comes along on his own and catches him, and even than it would be a travesty.
Never been a big Baffert fan, its like Shoemaker, some people you just cant win on, its called the "old kybosh "..........but he certinly gets them ready, like him or not ! Fed Biz was impressive, and lets not forget Goldencents, he tried to wire that field at 7fur, only to get run down at the wire. I think he will be double tough in the BC sprint .

Interview with Michelle DesPres
An Interview with Author Michelle DesPres
1. Your new book is titled, The Clairvoyant Path: Follow Your Inner Wisdom to Healing, Empowerment & Change. Why do you see clairvoyance as a means to healing and personal empowerment?
2. Do you have personal experience with this path? That is to say, what life experiences prompted you to write this book?
This is when I sought out a spiritual education, first on my own, and then through a school in Denver where I learned to enact change in my life from a conscious perspective. Clairvoyance brought me an expanded awareness of my patterns and what they were creating in my life, allowing me to heal myself where I was stuck. That knowledge empowered me to change the programmed patterns of my life that were not in alignment with my personal truth, which enabled me to finally live a life of authenticity. I learned that a "no" is just as good as a "yes" when it comes from the heart—it was okay to be there for others, but it was okay to be there for myself, too.
3. There are many people who are not already in touch with their intuitive abilities. Is this something we can all do?
4. Once we've attuned ourselves with our natural intuitive and clairvoyant abilities, how do we use that knowledge and power for healing?
5. What do you want your readers to gain from The Clairvoyant Path?

something strange..
heres the deal. 94 mercury tracer. heres what it is, i cannot get it out of park, and the rpm guage isnt working, and the engine strangely revvs around 2000 rpm at startup. i know this is normal, but it never did this before as long as it does now. i push the brake as hard as i can and try to get it out of park. strangely, when i turn the lights on the backup lights go on too, and its stuck in park. my brother was the last to drive it, and he said the brakes didnt want to stop. right before he took it out i was driving it and it was fine. one more thing, the little brake light doesnt come on when i pull up on the E brake. i REALLY need help guys, i really depend on this car.
kind of sounds to me like you've got two problems, brakes and shifter. i am assuming that this is a console shifter?
it sounds like somebody (ie your brother) was slamming the shifter around and maybe this is why you can't get it out of park and this might explain why your reverse lights come on, if the switch is buggered inside. this might also explain why your e-brake light doesn't come on if something else in there got banged around.
as far as the brakes not working, maybe your bro was a little too hard on the car and blew the master cylinder. anyway, if he has a job, i'd be inclined to take it to a garage and give him the bill.
"Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
by the way the blinkers dont work either. doesnt click or anything
My 96 tracer has a small 1/2" plastic cover on the right side of the shifter. Yours might be different but there is usually an access hole somewhere near the shifter. That is the access hole to the shift release. Pry up the cover and install a small wire (coat hanger size in to the hole and push on the release while pulling the shifter out of park. That is on there to access the shifter if your batt is dead and the car needs to be moved of towed. Check the brake lights when pushing the pedal. If the brake lights are not on, there will be no power supplied to the shift release solenoid located in the console. That is where the release get is power to activate.
Check fuses I agree with the previous post. Sounds like maybe more than one problem.
What blinkers? Hazard or turn signal? Check the 4 way hazard switch. If it is not completely on or off it can stop the t/s from working.
Want to solve future problems?
no i dont think he did anything..... but this morning i thought maybe the little lever inside the ignition thats connected to the shifter was stuck??? nope no luck. oh one more thing, the reverse lights were not on...my idiot mistake it was the lights for the license plates...sorry i didnt take much time to think at that moment
alright. new news, i hit the switch got it out on the road. accelereates very slowly, my thgouth its not shifting and its stuck in 2nd. i take it to 40 mph road still not shifting. i slam the gas all the way, it usually downshifts, no downshift. something in the transmission. any more thoughts? anyone heard of this? i have 0 money to put into this car. i rely on this car to get me from my job to get the real car on the road. i believe i have 50 dollars tops
by the way my brother did mention the lack of acceleration
