He moved to Marysville,
He moved to Marysville, CA. Opened a new practice near the library. I did not see ANY evidence of drug abuse given to me. I broke my ribs. I called my now former Dr., they told me to go to the ER. Most people know that the ER in Marysville, is probably the WORST place anyone should go! THE ER on the other hand, DID try to take my life twice in one day. I then called Dr. Neuschatz's office, they told me to come as soon as I could get there. This was the first time we went to his office. My wife and I were so amazed because we got an appointment immediately, we saw the Dr., he sent us for X-rays, and we picked up my prescriptions ALL in under 2 hours. No where else on earth can you go and get everything done in that amount of time. On top of that, whatever he wrote on the order for X-rays, the lab called him BEFORE we left, and he talked to me on the phone while we were still at Sutter Buttes Imaging, eliminating the need to go back to his office to find out the results. He did give me pain meds. but they were not narcotics. It would really be hard for me to believe he would intentionally harm anyone. Keep up the great work Dr.! I recommend him to anyone.

Saved me a lot of money!
Peachtree clinic refused to see me and insisted on going to ER. They thought I am having a stroke and did not want to deal with me! Without an insurance my last hope was dr. Thomas Neuschatz. He saw me in the next 2 minutes, made an accurate diagnosis (no stroke) and gave me the right meds. Great doctor!

Where did he go?
I have been a patient for several years dealing with Chronic pain that no other doctor was even willing to discuss with me without telling me it was in my head. I am not a drug seeking addict and I took well below the prescribed daily dosage maximum. Without this doctor I may have ended up on disability rather than as a citizen with a fantastic job and finally an active social life because I am no longer in agony attempting to participate in life. I knew he was moving to another town but that number is never answered now so I have no idea where he went but I know I am on the decline after several weeks w/o pain meds to help.

Stanford professor has theory for improving grades, study habits

I think this method is an interesting one. This method motivates students to work harder because this instills confidence which I think is a huge problem with at risk students. In fact, I don't believe that there is a relationship between IQ and being a successful college student. As an academic advisor at a university with a somewhat open admission policy, I've seen students with 8th grade reading skills successfully recieve degrees while taking difficult courses. It took them hours in the tutoring lab and hours worth of encouragement but they did it. I think anything that heightens a students confidence is definetly a good thing.

1 You can be teleported to a sports event: Where and when?
Trevor Mallard (Labour): "The 2004 Athens Olympics. I was like a pig in shit. I had lunch with the triathletes the day before they competed and was on the line in the wrong place when they finished. It meant I was the first Kiwi Hamish [Carter] saw and we were both crying.
Kevin Hague (Greens): "The 1968 Mexico City Olympics marathon when a runner from Tanzania [John Stephen Akhwari] limped into the stadium long after people had gone. That epitomises the spirit of refusing to be beaten. Otherwise, Bert Sutcliffe and Bob Blair batting in South Africa [in 1953] after the Tangiwai disaster when sport can transcend ordinary life."
2 Is it more important to invest in grassroots or elite sport?
Mallard: "Grassroots sport. Elite sport will look after itself."
Hinurewa te Hau (Maori): "I'd invest in IronMaori and wakaama."
Andrew Bayly (National): "Building the right strategy around investing in elite sport and facilities is the best outcome.
Get schoolchildren in early and you get the natural migration."
Hague:"Grassroots sport, for sure."
3 Recreating good keen men and women
Labour's policy has a recreational component to foster New Zealanders' love of the outdoors through better camping and tramping facilities. They intend to upgrade huts, camping grounds, visitor facilities and create more cycleways. The Greens also want more investment in the national cycle trail, with an emphasis on teaching cycling skills. Hague noted: "A person'sBMI [BodyMass Index] doesn't know whether it's doing organised sport or chaotic physical activity. Either works if it benefits a person's health."
4 Participation and retention
Mallard said a regret as Sports Minister in the last Labour government was not keeping enough youth in sport. He cited rowing's loss of participants after Maadi Cups as theworstcurrent scenario. Labour would also investigate introducing secondary school sport onWednesday afternoons.
5 Amalgamation
Under Labour, there would be no duplication of board structures between Sport New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand. They would meld.
6 Past lives
Bayly had the most curious biographicalnote. He"dragged a sled 112km to the South Pole" in the summer of 2012-13. In contrast, Hague said hewas chosen to speak on behalf of the Greens because he was their only MP who was "a bit sporty". Hague said at school he was used as an example of "how not to hurdle" and had mastered rolling in a kayak because it was a "handy skill when you don't have any of the other required skills".
7 List MP
Bayly is National's Hunua candidate but was fond of listing things National had done in his scripted speech. Screeds of facts and figures outlining the minutiae of government investment can bamboozle the average audience after a while. It would have been great to hear more about his mountaineering preparations, like timespent in the hypoxic chamber which would've demonstrated his love of sport at a practical level.
8 Indigenous passion
Te Hau gave a compelling justification for investment in Maori sport through the annual tribal 'Pa Wars' competition, the Iron Maori multisport event to promote healthier lifestyles and the resurgence of ki-o-rahi, a prerugby game using a flax ball popularised by the 28th Maori Battalion duringWorldWar II.
9 Community facilities
A major policy platform for the Maori Party is maximising the use of sports facilities likeRosedale Park in Albany and Bruce Pulman Park in Papakura, because they created a good social infrastructure to bringwhanau together.
10 Ban pokie machine trusts
The Greens don't believe these are good for society because the gambling that creates the money causes harm. They're also reluctant to have the alcohol or fast-food industries sponsoring sport but acknowledge it will be hard to replace the current model. They want a symposium with sports stakeholders to nut out an alternative. Hague used past tobacco sponsorship as an example of how fundingmodels evolve.
11 Cut elite sport funding
The Greens believe funding High Performance Sport New Zealand is not necessarily a government objective but they would still do so because 1) There's a public licence to spendtaxpayerdollars because top sports performances build national identity 2) Achievements on the world stage help leverage sports to wider participation levels 3) Top performing individuals and teams offer a marketing advantage so investment could be justified out of the tourism or trade and enterprise budgets.
12 Quip of the day
Goes to Mallard who, when asked pre-debate if he wanted a beer, wine, fruit juice or water, asked: "Do you have any single malt? I've got to debate Winston Peters on immigration at Eden Park straight after this."

Seven years ago, Alissa Torres' husband Eddie went to work at the brokerage firm of Cantor Fitzgerald, located in the World Trade Center. It was his second day at the job, and she never saw him again. At the time of Eddie's death, Torres was almost eight months pregnant. Since then, she has focused on raising her son, living her life and coming to terms with loss, while trying to make sense of the bureaucracy, grief, political ramifications and consequences. Part of Torres' need to move on culminated in writing a graphic novel, American Widow, about her experience.
"Google Chrome" became one of the most popular search terms on AbeBooks.com following the launch of Google's open source Internet browser, Google Chrome, in September 2008. Along with the browser launch, Google released a comic book. The comic was created by Scott McCloud, a leading American cartoonist famous for his science fiction series Zot!, and it effectively served as the press release for Chrome. McCloud's work is much loved and can be collectible.

IBM cuts thousands of jobs worldwide
No official company word on if any Columbia workers are affected
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Thousands of IBM employees worldwide received layoff notices Wednesday.
Alliance@IBM, an IBM employees labor union, stated that approximately ten positions at Columbia's data center were eliminated.
"So far, there's over 2,200 workers that have been fired and our sources tell us at least ten at the Columbia, Missouri facility," said Lee Conrad, Alliance@IBM's national coordinator.
Conrad said the data center currently employs 537 workers. He said additional layoffs may happen this year.
There is no official word from the company, though.
Numerous calls to IBM corporate offices and Missouri's Department of Economic Development about the data center's layoffs and whether the company is meeting requirements for incentives were not returned.
Based on a $1 billion cost-cutting figure IBM announced earlier this year, the company could lay off between 6,000 to 8,000 employees worldwide.
As of Wednesday evening, the labor organization Alliance@IBM reported it received individual reports of layoffs in Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina.
Back in 2010, IBM, along with city and state leaders, announced the creation of IBM's Information Technology Service Delivery Center on Lemone Industrial Boulevard. The company told the city and state it would hire up to 800 employees.
The city bought the building for $3.2 million and is leasing it to the company for just one dollar a year.
The state is also offering the company more than $28 million in incentives.

The Montana Decoy Whitetail Doe I Deer Decoy is the first creation to lead the heard of Jerry's decoys. Years in the development stages and designed for the modern hunter who needs mobility and life-like imagery. The perfect complement to a tree stand setup. This is a full size deer decoy measuring 52 inches high.
This Montana Decoy Whitetail Deer Decoy is revolutionizing the way hunters look at decoys. With a design that is lightweight, durable, and extremely fast; plus, it is easy to set up This decoy is a necessity to take into the field with you.
Whitetail bucks are notoriously wary. McPherson's video of a buck trying to mount his whitetail doe decoy attests to how realistic they are, or how confused a buck hopped up on testosterone can become. Not only did the buck try to mount the decoy, but when the decoy fell over, it tried to prop it back up using its antlers.
McPherson likes to set the doe decoy on the edge of a clearing or field next to the brush, preferably when the deer are grazing in an open field. He then sets up between the deer and the decoy, downwind, so the buck has to walk past him to reach the decoy.
To set up, simply pop the decoy open, insert the fold down back pole, and then insert the two leg poles and you are ready to go. The take down procedure is accomplished by removing the poles and using a simple twist fold technique on the decoy body.
When folded they are approximately 2 inches thick and 16 inches in diameter. Added to this great feature, they are flexible enough to stuff and conform into your pack. Lightweight, durable, compact, realistic and effective everything a serious hunter is looking for!

Fetch is a family favourite that is enjoyed by people of all ages.
It's also a great form of backyard exercise.
Your dog may need to be taught how to play, as not all breeds have the natural instinct to retrieve, or possess an understanding of the concept of the game, especially the "bring it back to me" part.
How many times have you received that well-known look of "you threw it, you get it" from your dog?
To have success in a complete game of fetch, you must break down the learning steps for your dog.
Step 1: Place your object of choice such as a ball, rope toy or stick on the ground.
Reward your dog for investigating the toy with a treat when they sniff at it.
Step 2: Encourage your dog to explore the toy with their mouth by rewarding only when they pick it up after the initial sniff test and introduce the command "fetch".
Step 3: Once your dog is holding the toy in its mouth for a longer period, begin introducing the recall so it begins to move toward you with the toy.
You may find that to start, they do not bring the toy all the way to you.
Remain patient and build on the distance gradually.
Start calling your dog to you from only a few steps away so your dog does not have far to carry the toy in its mouth.
Distance can be built over a few sessions until you reach the point of your dog bringing back the toy from as far as you are able to throw it or your section allows.
Step 4: Perhaps the most important.
You must swap your dog the toy for a tasty treat to have them willingly hand it over so the game can continue.
Step 5: Ask your dog to sit and wait while you throw the toy again and give it the "fetch" command so it knows it can once again retrieve the toy.
Remember we must always swap what we want our dogs to give us with an item they think is of higher value to have them give it up freely.
A game of fetch is also an opportunity to refresh foundation commands such as sit, wait and of course come.
Paw point of the week
If your dog insists on moving away from you when the have the toy, attach a long line training leash and use this to gently direct your dog back toward you. You can also practice your own fishing skills as you gently reel them in.
Contact me for the chance to have your question selected for publication at email@example.com

83 rabbit GTI for sale 16v swap running dell 40 to many parts to list send pm $2700obo
If its loud out the carbs, then you gotta it tuned right! I do not runs filters on my 242. 2 inch horns and a plexi deflector to keep leaves and diamonds outta the motor. Plus, I have a cowl induction type hood.
I never drove the car much with filters. My current stacks are 75 mm (3" ~ish). They're not on the car currently though.
1984 Volvo 244 DL...with carb.
I'm gonna have to run mine with filters. It'll be a DD, or nearly so. Right now I'm dailying the Cagiva Gran Canyon I bought this past weekend (saved me $15 in gas this week already... it'll have paid for its insurance by mid next week). But yeah, with where I live and how I use the car, filters are a must.
So yeah, can't remember if I've updated y'all on my project status... used the Colortune I bought to figure out that one of the injectors is clogged and the other three are patterning poorly (that is an awesome tool!). Over $250 for new injectors... that exceeds my $100 threshold, so I'm gonna order the Weber kit. I'm just waiting to pull the trigger until I sell some things... my wife likes seeing me excited about projects, so she's cool with me buying toys, but the agreement is we have to meet our other obligations without accruing any debt. I have a parts list for the carb swap totaling around $1400, not including random hardware (hose clamps, hoses, fasteners, etc).
Gonna do the Weber K407 kit, Filter King regulator, use the stock in-tank pump, Mallory 6AL ignition with stock knock box, and AutoMeter "Ultra-Lite Pro" wideband O2 sensor & gauge. I'll use basic hoses and clamps until I get it all set up and know my lengths, then I'll get Aeroquip or Russell stainless-braided hoses and anodized fittings so it looks professional.
Question: Am I gonna need to run a new fuel line all the way from the tank to the pressure regulator, or is there a way to connect the existing lines at the CIS pump housing and connect the factory line to the Filter King? If I have to tear everything apart to get to the tank, I may change my mind and go with the standalone Carter pump and delete the in-tank unit. What do you guys do for a fuel pickup when using the Carter pump?
I drive a Rabbit, the fuel feed is at the bottom of the tank. No in-tank for me, sorry .
To delete the under car stuff, just remove the pump/box and lines to the tank. You should be able to run new line from the tank to the existing lines. It's a bit of a fiddle, but waaaaaaaay easier than running new lines all the way to the front. That's how I did it when I went in-tank in a previous Mk2 turbo project.
1984 Volvo 244 DL...with carb.
The Volvo is my Daily, it runs with no filters and has for the last 3 years or so, minus a few engine swaps in the pursuit of more power.
As far as the in-tank, what you could do is run your fuel pump line to the return port on the fuel sender if you want to delete the in-tank. I think its a waste. keep your in-tank, it helps lifts the fuel from the bog and relieves some stress on the external pump. OR- do what we all do, run just an intank pump... issues solved.
Yeah, my current plan is to use the stock in-tank pump and just run that to the Malpassi/Filter King regulator. It's a high-volume low pressure pump... and since I only need a couple PSI, it should be fine. I was just asking for the sake of curiosity... and in case I needed a backup plan. You know how it is working on cars: things rarely go according to plan.
Whoa... very kewl. Where did you get that valve cover and what brand/type is it?
just finished my setup, its alive ! just need some tuning. crappy cell pic
looks clean!

I'm just uncertain of how the stock in-tank pump would interact with the Carter external pump. Also, for my case where I don't need the flexibility to swap back and forth, having two pumps creates an unnecessary additional point of failure.Why does that cause concern? I'm also running intank and 2 outer pumps. Main reason... I have 2 systems now- one efi and one carb. all i do is switch at the tee between both outer pumps. The EFI one has the return to tank. Makes engine swaps so much easier now.
i'm not clear.... Why does the original vw setup have 2 pumps?? think bout it.
the OEM setup was made because the stock bosch pumps that were mounted externally really were not meant to lift out the fuel from the tank. Once the fuel was to that pump its main job was to force volume up to the front. (60 to 90 psi on some cars). Im sure a big reason people abandon the intank pump is because the carters are capable of 30 inches worth of lift. Which is more than enough to draw from the tank. I left mine in working condition just to make it easier to prime should there ever be a flow back to the tank. As for how it interacts? Its just more of a prime pump now. It kicks on but serves no purpose once the carter has suction.
Most excellent combo of pieces my friend!
thank you for the power steering bracket idea B4S.
hope to have it running by fall.

Aw SNAP! You are the man. Is it my internet fubar?? I click on the "buy" ...nothing happens.
Hmm, I had to do it the long way to get it to work, odd. That's never happened before.
Go into "Dellorto car carburetors", and then into "DHLA Parts". You'll find them in there. I seriously love these guys for Dell parts. Never had a bad transaction, and I've spent thousands over the years, lol.

Some easy ones today just in case you are not interested in the Jay-Z and Beyonce story
This very smart actress finally got her big break and then the show was no more. Hopefully her new movie will be a hit. She recently made sure her boyfriend never would forget his birthday. Besides the bars and the food, she arranged for a private show in their hotel suite featuring two lovely women. What was supposed to be just watching by the celebrity couple, turned into so much more. Our actress decided to take a turn and participate as well. After enjoying the talented women, she wanted her man to join in the fun. The foursome proceeded to make it a night and made some birthday wishes come true. What will he do for her birthday?
In order to support his drug habit, this cat like rock star used to be a gay prostitute. Wonder if he thinks his current girlfriend is as pretty as the boys he used to love.

I have to say that this movie was better than I feared it would be and that it was actually quite good. With the first movie I was not overly thrilled with the concept of the reboot and the alternate timeline. I still am not too thrilled about that even though I can understand the motivation for doing it since it certainly gives more creative freedom.
One thing that sets this movie apart from the movies in the original timeline is that it is much more of an action movie. Many of the movies in the original timeline was downright slow. The little fighting they contained was over in a matter of minutes and they often went to extreme lengths to talk themselves out of everything. This one is much more of a rollercoaster ride and Captain Kirk is much more gung-ho and impulsive. To me this is a very positive thing and the main point that makes this movie a good one.
There are of course other things making this movie worthwhile to watch. The special effects are quite enjoyable. Especially combined with the fast pace and plentiful action. I think Chris Pine as well as the other actors where performing quite well in their respective roles. I quite liked Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan although I have to say that I did not like the Khan element itself. It just felt cheap to try and ride on one of the most popular of the original movies. They could easily have made the plot, or at least a quite similar one, work without the bad guy being Khan.
Another thing that disturbed me was that they just had to wreck the Enterprise…again. Not only that but it really became ridiculous how much they could wreck on that ship and she would still hold together. In some of the original movies it went overboard in the other direction. One shot and weapons, shields, warp drive and everything else useful would go off-line. In this one they make Swiss cheese of her and she still flies. While we are at it, the scene where Kirk realigns the warp core by kicking at it is fairly ridiculous as well.
In general I think this is an enjoyable movie. Maybe not 10 out of 10 but definitely high up on the scale. I hope they continue to make Star Trek movies with this amount of action in them. Certain reviews that I have read states that this movie is dumbing down Star Trek or "Star Trek for morons". I must say that I disagree totally.

Definition of paradise
paradise was our Word of the Day on 08/05/2011. Hear the podcast!

Examples of paradise in a Sentence

This shop is an antique collecting paradise!
Did You Know?
Paradise ultimately comes from an Iranian word that the Greeks modified into paradeisos, meaning "enclosed park." In Hellenistic Greek, "paradeisos" was also used in the Septuagint - an early Greek translation of Jewish scriptures - in reference to the Garden of Eden. Early Christian writers also used "paradeisos" for both Heaven and for the place where righteous souls await resurrection. These senses of "paradeisos" entered into Late Latin as paradisus, and then into Anglo-French (and later, Middle English) as "paradis." Though originally used in theological senses in English, "paradise" has also come to refer to more earthly states and places of delight as well.

Local man Dave Miller will switch a sweltering weekend of competition at the Hawke's Bay Open for a long plane ride to China to compete in a Snow Polo tournament in Tianjin.
Mr Miller spends six months of the year in England playing polo and the rest buying and training polo ponies in Porangahau.
He has also played for the New Zealand Polo team on and off and will represent the country at the inaugural Snow Polo World Cup invitational tournament from February 4 to 12.
"I got selected to play for New Zealand and don't know a lot about snow polo, so I'm going to learn more about it," Mr Miller said.
Twelve teams from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, England, France, Hong Kong SAR, India, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA will compete in what promises to be the largest snow polo tournament in the world.
The event will be held at China's Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club, the country's most extensive polo facility.
Polo has only become a popular sport in China during the past couple of years and is marketed as an elite sport.
The major difference in snow polo is that instead of a white plastic ball, the ball is larger and bright orange so it is easier to spot on the snow.
Mr Miller is unable to compete in the four-day Hawke's Bay Open this weekend as he flies out today, but was there Thursday to watch a friend play on some of his polo ponies.

Dog Dancing to 'Shake That' will Brighten Up Your Monday
Who doesn't love a dancing dog?
Monday's are always rough. So it helps when you can have a little pick me up. I found this video of a dog dancing to Eminem's 'Shake That' and I thought it was adorable. Maybe this dancing pup has just enough cuteness to make your monday bearable. So, for absolutely no reason at all, other than starting your week off right, here is a video of a dog doing exactly what the song was intended for.

Apica CD-11 Notebook - Mustard, Lined (5.83 x 8.27) is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DMac from Great little notebook Reminds me a lot of those thin exercise books I used to use in school, except with much better paper. The paper is slightly off-white with grey lines and took every pen/ink combo I threw at it. No feathering or bleedthrough even with a music nib and a flex nib. And it's just the right size to slip into a laptop bag. Good stuff. Also, I bought it off the Goulet Outlet's Bottom Shelf on a whim and couldn't even see the flaw at first. It's so minor I don't think it will ever bother me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Aaron N from Nice little notebook I've enjoyed this notebook tremendously. The dimensions are good--it easily slips into any bag or backpack, and the pages are generous enough for lots of notesor sketches. The paper is excellent, too; a slightly off-white color, the page isn't too bright to look at even in the brightest sun. The paper behaves well, too, accepting all kinds of ink--the only spreading or feathering I've experienced is with Baystate Blue. The paper is smooth without being glassy; it still provides just the slightest resistance to writing to remind you that you are writing. I took one star off the review for this reason: I bought this notebook to journal in, and my only complaint is that I didn't notice that the notebook only has 28 pages in it. As a notebook, that's fine, but as journal, that's not a lot of room. Still, that mistake is on me, and the quality of this book remains very high.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HippsDontLie from Smooth paper, Criminally Priced For paper this smooth, you would be remiss to not buy it. It is quite literally a steal at this price point. No feathering, only glass-like writing that dries instantly under high end and economy ink alike. I look forward to writing in it every day and to continue to purchase Apica notebooks for a long time to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by blushinpen from Nice Writing Experience I was looking for a small notebook with fountain pen friendly paper aside from the regular brands. This line of notebooks caught my eye due to the different color and size options. The CD-11 is a nice little notebook with smooth paper. The pages don't feel flimsy. No bleed through or feathering noticed.
Date published: 2016-06-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ricky from Nice little booklet as booklets go It's a neat little booklet. I bought it to see if I liked the size for journaling. I do and now I'll buy a larger one for that purpose. This one opens flat, the paper is great for writing on and the lines are just the right spacing. Try it - you'll like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara Light Waller from These are my favorite notebooks. I use these notebooks all the time, with ballpoints and fountain pens. The paper is a delight to write on, very smooth, with no bleed-through. Absolutely love them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Thomas Mills from Very comfortable sized notebook with good paper I enjoy the notebook and writing with a fountain pen is a nice experience. It is not as glass-smooth as Clairfontaine, but I think that is a good thing.

Making Waves: Stories from My Life. Yakov Alpert. xvii + 260 pages. Yale University Press, 2000. $30.
In Making Waves, Yakov Alpert, a pioneer in several fields of radio and space-plasma physics, provides a gripping firsthand account of life in the Soviet scientific community from the time of the Bolshevik revolution through the collapse of the Soviet system. This memoir, whose dust jacket features a sketch of Alpert gazing soulfully at the reader, invites comparison with Roald Z. Sagdeev's 1994 autobiography, The Making of a Soviet Scientist (which I reviewed for Sky and Telescope in December 1994, and which Alpert discusses in an appendix). Alpert's sincerity and cordiality in paying tribute to many of his scientific godfathers and colleagues, who were genuine heroes of Soviet science, stand in stark contrast to Sagdeev's penchant for self-advertisement.
Under the totalitarian Soviet regime, Alpert did not receive even a small fraction of the decorations that were lavished on his fortunate contemporary Sagdeev, who was designated a Hero of Socialist Labor and won the Lenin Prize. Nonetheless Alpert led a distinguished life, one hallmarked by honesty. Despite the fact that he was stripped of any chance to expose his talent on a large scale during the prime of his career, Alpert realized his scientific gift, eventually achieved prominence and accomplished many things.
His life was extremely tough. He experienced the repression and unofficial anti-Semitism of the Soviet regime. Several times his activities were brutally discontinued; for example, he was expelled from the Institute of Physics. A general in the KGB (the Soviet secret police and intelligence agency) and others in the Communist hierarchy obstructed his path and tried to erase him from the history of science, but in the face of such challenges, he courageously stood by his principles. Finally he became a refusnik, a person forbidden to leave the country. Like Andrei Sakharov and many other Soviet dissidents, Alpert was deprived of his right to work in his profession. Yet even under such difficult circumstances, he remained a scholar and continued to do research. He held seminars in his home for years; more than 50 refusnik mathematicians and physicists participated, many of them notable representatives of the oppressed Soviet scientific community.
Although Alpert does not present an analytical overview of Soviet research, he does offer a sound, honest vision of the ups and downs, and the positive and negative aspects, of Soviet science, especially physics.
A proficient scholar, Alpert worked with a number of great physicists (among them some Nobelists) and scientific leaders, such as Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, Semyon E. Khaikin, Peter Kapitsa [Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa], Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov [Korolev], Igor V. Kurchatov, Lev Davidovich Landau, Mikhail A. Leontovich, Leonid Isaakovitch Mandelshtam, Nikolai D. Papalexi, Sakharov, Igor Yevgenyevich Tamm and Sergei Ivanovich Vavilov. All are vividly featured in the book's pages, as are some engaging denizens of the art world. Unfortunately, most of these figures are not well known to American readers.
Alpert's lucid, thought-provoking view of Soviet physics will be of interest to a broad audience. Although he is not a historian of science, Alpert is an honest eyewitness to Soviet scientific development. The book's jacket includes enthusiastic praise from luminaries Arno Penzias, Joel L. Lebowitz and former Soviet dissident Yuri Orlov. Orlov observes that "Alpert's book is filled with historically priceless details hitherto unknown even to his fellow scientists because of the closed nature of Soviet society" and reminds us that "these details must not be lost."
Nowadays Alpert is a senior scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This year he will celebrate his 90th birthday. On behalf of all his fans, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to wish him health and many more years of productive creativity.—Alexander Gurshtein, Astronomy, Space Research and History of Science, Mesa State College, Colorado

Today we're talking about Kate Middleton's tights, (hosiery, pantyhose, hose… whatever you call it!) Love it or hate it, thanks to Kate, tights are now a hot topic in fashion. Duchess Kate is known for her love of sheer hosiery – and she has brought them back into the forefront of fashion!
Kate during her tour of Canada, where she regularly wore tights (hose) under her dresses.
Images courtesy of Canadian Tourism Commission.
Does Kate wear John Lewis' non-slip tights?
Many of Kate's fans believe she wears John Lewis 'Barely There 'non-slip tights.
Why do we think this? Because we've seen the gel cushion on a picture of Kate's feet and they look identical to the John Lewis tights – click here to see the image for yourself (opens in a new window). Kate often shops at Peter Jones in London, which is the exact same store as John Lewis (just with a different name).
The John Lewis tights (hose if you're American!) cost £5 a pair. That's around $8 USD.
I personally love these tights – my review:
Of course, the palace has not confirmed that Kate Middleton wears John Lewis tights (hose), it's just an educated guess. But I thought I'd try them out anyway…..(I bought them myself, I received no compensation for this review). See the image on the right, and I'm wearing Kate's LK Bennett Sledge shoes in grey too!
I recommend them 100%. They offer the same kind of sheer sheen you see in photos of Kate. I think they're great. I will say that they're very delicate, I snagged them at the top when I first pulled them on. Luckily for me, they were still wearable (a bit of nail varnish did the trick!). It's my own fault, though, I had just lost some weight and adventurously, I decided to size down. Next time, I will get them one size up and be much more careful (It's well known in my family that I'm a bit of a klutz!)
My verdict on these tights: The tone of the tights, coupled with my Sledge shoes and pencil dress made me felt every inch the princess! People even commented on my Facebook photos saying my look was 'very Kate', especially because I have dark hair. I totally channelled my inner Kate! If you want to buy these, be REALLY careful putting them on and don't be afraid to get a size up if you're on the cusp of the sizing chart!
Or, does Kate wear Wolford tights (hose)?
Some hypothesise that Kate may have worn Wolford's non-slip sheer tights, which retailed for around £13 back in 2011. The last time I looked, the brand no longer sell the same non-slip tights (pictured right). I have not seen the bottom of the Wolford non-slip tights, so I cannot confirm the shape of the gel pad.
Wolford's current Sheer 15 line does not include a non-slip gel pad, like the John Lewis tights above.
Did Kate buy the Wolford tights from Bicester Village?
Kate fans know that the Duchess and her family regularly shop at the Bicester Village outlet in Oxfordshire. Bicester village DOES have a Wolford outlet on site. It is very possible she stocked up on non-slip tights during a visit there in 2011?
Either way, I'm of the opinion that you can't go wrong with Wolford. They're clearly a premium line and I've heard many, many good things about them (see the comments section below!).
Their Sheer line does look 'very Kate'. The Wolford Sheer tights/hose might be a good option for those who live in North America, where I believe this brand is readily available in a wide variety of colours.
Shop Wolford tights and hose:
Has Kate convinced you to turn to hosiery?
Have you tried either of the above brands of tights? Do you have another brand you love? Let me know in the comments section below.

The concept for Joyound was born in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina catapulted a young college grad into one of the nation's biggest and busiest cities, New York City. KobySackey no longer had a home in New Orleans and spent the next six years in the "Big Apple." There was so much that the city offered; however, after a long work week Koby was too tired from work (and unfamiliar with the area) to socialize and truly experience the city.
Joyhound was not necessarily just for Koby but for anyone, anywhere---whether they were in a new city by chance or choice. Everyone deserves to truly experience a city like a "local." Scrolling through his social networks, there seemed to be tons of events on any given night; however, no way to assess which were worth the time to attend.
What they most needed to feel like a local was a listing site based upon a ranking of events by social influence. This listing would generate amazing local content (art shows, restaurant specials, events), organize it all based on some sort of value system, and put all that information into the palm of your hand.
After countless brainstorming and feedback sessions, Koby finally landed on the simplest of concepts - we needed an app that presented the most POPULAR things to do TODAY. Not the most popular places in a city, but the best and most popular things a city had to offer on any given day. After locking himself in a room and learning the basics of HTML coding, UI design, and how to create a tech startup---the first prototypes of Joyhound were created.
Joyhound is currently headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. The team of 10 amazing real life heroes is dedicated to helping everyone discover fun events and specials. Everyone deserves to have the local experience.

The trial of a Bangor woman accused of murdering her husband two and a half years ago is on hold until after the holidays.
50-year-old Roxanne Jeskey has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Her lawyers say a decision hasn't been made yet on whether Jeskey will take the stand.
The prosecution rested its case Thursday after a DNA specialist talked about bloodied clothing found in the couple's apartment.
A registered nurse who treated Jeskey at the hospital the morning after the incident also testified about the bruises on Jeskey's hands, her mental state, and the medication she was taking.
One of Jeskey's lawyers, Joe Baldacci, says self defense could be an argument in this case.
"The fact that she has bruises that had been documented all over her body, front and back. We entered the diagram that was done by the nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital yesterday. The photographs, there's 23 photographs, that were taken of her at the hospital that have bruises all over her body. Some bleeding in some places."
Baldacci says they have a long process to go through with Jeskey to determine if she's able testify.
The case will pick up again January 6th.

From the late 1960s until recently, Santa Cruz, California was the most politically progressive medium-sized or large city in the United States. An unlikely confederation of socialist-feminists, social-welfare liberals, neighborhood activists, and environmentalists stopped every major development project they didn't like after 1969, and controlled the city council from 1981 through the beginning of the 21st century. Berkeley, Burlington, Madison, San Francisco, Santa Monica -- none of them had as progressive a government for as long.
Since most cities are usually controlled by real estate developers and their buddies, Santa Cruz is a good test case for comparing theories of urban power. Atypical cases are helpful in eliminating theories from consideration if they cannot explain the unexpected events.
That's why Richard Gendron and I wrote The Leftmost City: Power and Progressive Politics in Santa Cruz (Westview Press, 2009).

Steiner Military 3-15X50 Rifle Scope Review
While I was conducting my own evaluations, I noticed that the Steiner had a much better edge clarity as well as a wider field of view. While both scopes were set to 3.5X, the Steiners clarity went all the way to a definite edge but the edge was preceded by a very slim blue ring, whereas the Nightforce edge seemed fuzzy and non-distinct. When both scopes were adjusted to above 5X, the edge clarity was superb in both and distinct.
Comparing the Steiner directly to the Nightforce F1, I prefer many of the features incorporated into the Steiner. The parallax knob has yardage markings (actually in meters according to the literature) that give a very good indication of about where the turret should be for a parallax free view whereas the NF has hash marks without any distance indications.
(Nightforce parallax turret marked with hashes out to infinity)
Steiner has also provided an easy to adjust illumination feature with off positions in between each intensity level. Nightforce utilizes an illumination method that is difficult to adjust for intensity and simply has an on and off position. However, the turret on the NF is a bit more streamlined and does not have as large a diameter turret. There are obvious benefits to the Steiner approach when clip-on NVS systems are considered; immediate adjustment capability that will not bloom the operators eye is important. Also important is the ease of adjustment that does not require any tools or the exposure of sensitive electronics to adverse weather elements.
Steiners second turn indication is one of the best on any scope, as the first set of numbers get elevated out of view exposing the second set of numbers for the subsequent revolution. There are no turn indicator hash marks beneath the turret to try to remember as many other scope brands utilize. In the following pictures, both of the elevation turrets have one rotation dialed on. Note that the turn indication hash mark is barely visible on the Nightforce while there is no doubt that 15 mRAD is dialed on to the Steiner scope.

(Second rotation on the Nightforce elevation turret)
I prefer the zero stop mechanism on the NF however to the Steiners. Nightforce uses a clutch mechanism that the operator can set for whatever distance or elect to not utilize at all. This means that a person may set their zero stop to be below their zero should they want to. Steiner has elected however to have their zero stop be 0.1 mRAD below the 0 marking on the turret, so establishing a 100 yard zero will not allow much adjustment below this setting. I do know from handling a Steiner 5-25 scope that the elevation turret travels to 0.4 mRAD below zero, so I may have an anomaly with my particular elevation turret.
I much prefer the Steiner windage turret to the NF though. I appreciate having stops built in so that the turret cant be turned more than ½ revolution. The Steiner windage turret is marked to 6 mRAD but mine actually moves through 7.5 mRAD in each direction, after which it will not turn any further. There is no worry about the turret being accidentally turned one full revolution, and even 6 mRAD is sufficient enough for all but extreme long range shooting.

The relevance of positron emission tomography (PET) alone or in combination with computed tomography (CT) in patients with malignant melanoma cannot be currently assessed due to a lack of meaningful studies.
This is the result of a final report published by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) on 20 July 2011.
Hidden metastases are often detected too late
Malignant melanoma ("black skin cancer") may follow very different courses. In most patients the tumour can be removed completely by minor surgery. However, on first diagnosis some patients already have hidden metastases that are often detected only at a later stage. Many health care experts hope that an examination with PET or PET/CT, alone or in combination with other methods, can help detect hidden metastases as early as the first diagnosis. In addition, they hope that in follow-up examinations, PET or PET/CT can detect tumour recurrence earlier. The information obtained should then enable doctors to provide better treatment recommendations for patients.
Benefit for patients is crucial
IQWiG therefore searched the international scientific literature for studies investigating the impact of PET or PET/CT on health aspects directly relevant to patients. For example, the test results could help treat patients with further useful therapies at an earlier stage, or the results could help spare patients unnecessary treatment. However, the search for such studies was unsuccessful, so that the question as to the benefit of PET or PET/CT remained unanswered.
Reliability not clear
In addition, IQWiG searched for studies in which the diagnostic accuracy of PET or PET/CT was compared to other test methods. This investigates the question as to how often a PET test produces wrong results. The test should on the one hand overlook metastases as rarely as possible, but on the other, should not raise unjustified suspicions. Although a total of 17 diagnosis accuracy studies were found, the diagnostic accuracy of PET or PET/CT varied greatly in these studies. A comparison of PET or PET/CT with other technologies (e.g. CT alone) was investigated in only 2 studies, so that no general conclusions can be drawn for this question either.
Studies of high methodological quality are therefore urgently needed to investigate the benefit of PET or PET/CT in patients with malignant melanoma.
An overview of the background, methods and further results of the final report is provided in the following executive summary.

We were catching up on some of the "No Reservations" that were recorded on our DVR, and noticed when Bourdain was on the farm in New Jersey, they were making a pizza with fresh cracked egg on the top. That looked pretty damn tasty, so we embarked upon creating our home version. Simplicity seemed best for this little delicacy, so we took one of our homemade pizza crusts, sautéed up some thick-cut sweets onions, cracked a couple eggs on top, then glided it into a nice & hot oven. The results were scrumptious. The richness of the eggs were balanced nicely by the sweet onions, and the thin crisp crust was tasty as always.
We could easily see other additions going well with it, such as adding garlic to the onions, or topping the pizza off with prosciutto or sausage. Maybe a little cheese would be a nice addition, but the pizza is already so rich, we could only imagine adding small quantities of a cheese that had a nice bite, maybe Parmesan Reggiano, or a well aged gouda like Winchester Cheese Co.'s Super Aged Gouda. After doing a bit of research to see if there is actually a standard pizza with such a topping, we came upon the Pizza alla Bismark. From what we can tell it's pretty close to what we are making. Although there seem to be several variations, the common link between all of the recipes is the egg on top. So "critics be damned" we are going to call this little tasty our "Pizza alla Bismark."
You never know, having an egg on top of your pizza just might be the next trendy pizza "thing". We can see it already, having this twice in a week can be addicting. Why not? Eggs have protein and they're low carb!
Pizza alla Bismark Recipe
Yield: 1 Pizza
Total Time: 15 Minutes
Feel free to add whatever else you may like, but try to keep the toppings simple. Sausage or prosciutto would be nice additions, as would a bit of freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano after baking.
- Par-baked Pizza Crust
- 3 T olive oil
- 1 med. sweet onion, sliced 1/4 -1/2" thick
- 2 eggs
- sea salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- Preheat oven to 450º.
- Heat saute pan on cooktop over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onions, then saute until onions start to soften & color on edges.
- Place pizza crust on a sheet of heavy aluminum foil. Spread sauteed onions and oil over crust, making sure to spread the oil to coat all of the top side of the pizza crust. Crack eggs directly over crust. Place in pizza, foil & all into preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until crust turns golden and eggs start to set. Remove from oven, season with a touch of sea salt & fresh cracked pepper. Slice & enjoy.

Hey guys, I'm not much with car audio stuff, but I couldn't take the crappy stock speakers anymore, and they certainly weren't doing my Alpine 9811 justice, so I decided it was time for some new fronts. I found a great deal ($110) on some Boston Acoustic FS60 components, and they'll be installed in 1 week. Does anyone have any experience with these speakers; did I make a good (though somewhat uninformed!) choice?
I'll certainly post a full review when they go in!

That the Palestinian leader could not be written off entirely was demonstrated, even before the diplomatic breakthrough, by the stream of distinguished visitors prepared to brave the squalor of his compound, including the US secretary of state, Colin Powell.
The deal, in which six men wanted by the Israelis are transferred to British and American safekeeping in a Palestinian jail, gets everyone off the hook, at least for the time being.
The Bush administration can claim to have achieved something, while Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah has not only repaired much of the political damage the kingdom sustained from September 11 but has emerged as the Arab leader of the moment.
The Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has been extricated from the corner into which he had painted himself, though the compromise may cause some damage to his tough-guy reputation.
Mr Arafat is free to resume his presidency over what is left of the Palestinian Authority, without the martyrdom he allegedly craved.
Whether Mr Arafat returns as anything more than non-executive chairman is another matter. There is good reason to speculate that the person running the show from now on will be Prince Abdullah.
Hopes were not particularly high when the prince arrived at George Bush's Texas ranch last week. "The odd couple" was how a headline in the Washington Times labelled them.
But, to the surprise of many, something gelled and there may now be the beginnings of a partnership.
Since the prince casually revealed his peace initiative to a New York Times journalist in February and won approval for it from the Arab League in March, the germ of an idea has been growing in Washington. If Mr Bush were to drag the Israelis to the peace table, could Prince Abdullah drag the Arabs there too?
The test of that hypothesis came last weekend when both leaders launched a telephone offensive to end the stand-offs in Ramallah and Bethlehem. The Americans turned the heat on Israel and the Saudis "were in constant contact with Mr Arafat, while Prince Abdullah himself was talking to Bush", according to an Arab diplomat.
"The Saudi role was crucial in convincing the Americans to pressurise Israel in order to ease the situation," said Ali Muhsen Hamid, the Arab League's ambassador in London. "It's not a solution, but it could form the beginning."
In the US, the Senate Republican leader, Trent Lott, confirmed yesterday that Washington and the Saudis had embarked on a strategy to apply pressure separately but in a coordinated way on the Israelis and Palestinians.
"The Saudis have the ability, we think, to provide leadership, if they can assume it," Senator Lott told CNN.
Prince Abdullah has been working closely with King Mohammed of Morocco and has been in touch with the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. So far there seems to be a broad consensus.
Where this will lead is anyone's guess. The fate of the UN "fact-finding" mission to Jenin is the next test. If Israel continues to resist, or if Mr Bush fails take a robust line with Mr Sharon when he visits Washington next week, Arab support for Prince Abdullah's efforts could fade.
Longer term, Mr Bush has not said publicly whether he entirely supports the prince's peace initiative, which envisages among other things a full Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders - something Israel has never shown a willingness to accept.
Mr Arafat, meanwhile, may find himself being driven along in the back seat of the prince's Rolls-Royce - or in the boot.

From the moment of the second explosion that rocked the Pike River coal mine, the outlook has been grim. Even the most distant and casual observer knew what the experts would not bring themselves to say: that the environment underground was so menacingly unstable that the chances of recovering the remains of the 29 men who must surely have perished within moments of the first blast were slim indeed.
So PM John Key's announcement on Friday, eight weeks to the day since the first explosion, that the mine will be sealed was no surprise. It brought to an end weeks of ambiguity that must have been for the bereaved families and friends a form of torture, a death by a thousand cuts.
As late as Friday morning, the day after Police Commissioner Howard Broad had said police were abandoning the recovery operation and handing over control to Pike River Coal's receiver, the receiver himself was saying that he would not conduct a recovery but that a recovery might be conducted "as a consequence of a decision" he might make. Little wonder that some of the families said they were confused.
It has rightly been a high priority for police to return the remains of the dead miners to their families. It would have given them the powerful sense of completion, often referred to as "closure", that only those similarly bereft and without a body to farewell, could fully understand.
There was no shortage of will to complete the task and cost, steep though it was becoming, would not alone have prohibited it. In the end, the mine mocked the recovery team as it had mocked the would-be rescuers - and the prospect of that changing is less than slight.
In hoping that those who lost loved ones in this disaster can find resolution in their own way and move on, we continue to send them our thoughts. The price they have paid will not soon be forgotten. It has a certain bleak aptness that their miner menfolk lie where they toiled and died. And they are surely at peace.

Hyland Estates Gewurztraminer 2011
Gewurztraminer from Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
Complex and seamless, with vibrant acidity and soft body. Aromas of rose petal, wet stone and orange peel entice while intense flavors of melon, citrus, honeysuckle and all-spice linger on the palate.
Amazing at taming spicy cuisine or enjoyed by itself, this wine pairs perfectly with scallops, smoked salmon, BBQ hot wines, soft and creamy cheeses, or many Asian inspired dishes.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "From vines planted in 1971 and depicted on the Hyland Estate label, their 2011 Gewurztraminer evokes classic rose petal, lychee, and celery seed. Polished and caressing in texture, it evinces a levity and sheer refreshment you won't often obtain from this grape (and almost never in my experience outside of the Pacific Northwest or New York's Finger Lakes). Mouthwatering salinity adds appeal to a finish surprisingly understated compared with this wine's attention-getting nose, but scarcely less appealing for that. I have no experience with how this particular wine can age, but analogies with similar Gewurztraminers suggests that it will remain delightful for at least 3-4 years, and it certainly offers outstanding value. As with the Pinot Gris from his Solena estate, Montalieu believes in picking Gewurztraminer at a point where the seeds turn dark brown and bitterness is largely eliminated, which was possible in this instance in the final days of October, yet still a only 13.% potential alcohol. (Despite what the Umlaut on its label may lead many consumers to imagine, this is a dry wine, closely akin to an old-fashioned Alsace exemplar of its cepage.) "
Hyland Estates Winery
The historic Hyland Vineyard lies nestled in the foothills of the coastal mountains near McMinnville, Oregon where it benefits from the influence of cool maritime air every evening that is the trademark of the Willamette Valley's Pinot Noir.
Originally planted in 1971, just five years after the first Pinot Noir was planted in the Willamette Valley, the 100 acre vineyard has been the source of fruit for many top scoring wines from some of Oregon's most recognized producers. View all Hyland Estates Wines
About Other OregonView a map of Other Oregon wineries
Like many other states, Oregon itself is an AVA of note. An Oregon wine can simply state "Oregon" as its place of origin, which typically means the grapes came from multiple smaller AVAs within the state.
Beyond the main AVAs of Oregon, like Willamette Valley, Rogue and Umpqua, smaller regions are gaining ground. Some you may see on the label include:
Walla Walla Valley AVA– these are most often associated with Washington State, but technically they run over the state lines into Oregon. Most wineries only use a small fraction of grapes from the Oregon side in order to maintain a Washington State wine, but you may see some Oregon producers sourcing grapes from those small overlapping AVAs.
Southern Oregon AVA– encompassing the Rogue and Umpqua Valleys, this AVA is a large area where many producers are experimenting with Syrah.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Honest Trailer for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE
In anticipation of the release of the new Ninja Turtles movie, Screen Junkies has released an Honest Trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze. The movie wasn't as good as the first one, but as a kid I still enjoyed the hell out of it. I haven't seen this sequel in years, and after watching this latest Honest Trailer it's one that I don't think I'll be revisiting anytime soon.
Before you see the Ninja Turtles reboot, relive TMNT's most infamous on-screen adventure: the totally tubular, Vanilla Ice-flavored '90s time capsule that is "TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze!"

I hope they take a note and do accordingly when they have to do SD Latin dance again in the future.
I hope they take a note and do accordingly when they have to do SD Latin dance again in the future.
good job to all.
good luck to all in free dance.
i don't mind the score for d/w.
just wondering what v/m would have got without the fall . they had a 71. with a fall so who knows.
but d/w for me sold the program.
sorry i didn't see the first 3 dance teams.
so fun to watch the SD's!!! I love V/M's SD and love, love, love her new dress. That fall was crazy, but glad he bounced back. They really have the sizzle and wow factor. Just amazing talent.
D/W - to me - were the winners for sure, but I don't know enough to know about scoring other than that I felt a little surprised by just how big the score was; would love to hear more commentary on this. I also don't know how to read the dance protocols - where is the twizzle mark? I love all of the top teams twizzles, but do feel that Charlie tends to look like he is jumping into it - like needs a big and obvious knee bend to start, and looks a little sloppy compared to others in how he holds his free leg. So, I am amazed by D/W twizzle's, speed, control, unison...but like V/M's a little better.
I too thought he French team rocked it - really nice. The Shibs looked good and seemed happy with how they did, so good for them. This is the first time for me to see W/P SD this season; I've enjoyed their FD, so it was nice to see this. Gosh, can't wait for the FD's.
Considering V/M's fall wasnt on an element they would be well behind Davis & White even without that fall. It looks to me like the judges are getting on the Davis & White bandwagon and are going to ride it hard all the way to Sochi. If Virtue & Moir have a double digit points loss to Davis & White at Worlds I see them turning pro, which will open up 2 podium spots for the other teams, not just 1, in the coming years.
Pechalat/Bourzat deserve to be in third place. I think they deserved higher marks for interpretation, but the hip movement and the chest locks weren't as strong as the top two teams. Some of their transitions were also slightly more open and not always in dance hold. Their turns aren't as fast either. This isn't to say they were lacking, and they deserve marks in the mid to high 8s (a bit slighted on PCS there), but the judges know what they're looking at.
Has anyone given consideration to the idea (a fact really) that there is more than one way to go about interpreting latin dance? So many comments about how one dance or another didn't give off a latin feel. Perhaps it's just that those teams were going for a different spin on latin than what some posters expect or prefer. D/W are clearly going for a dance club latin vibe with lots of J. Lo style moves. V/M are going for a similar feel but with more sensual twist to it. Shibs are going for more classic ballroom latin focused on precision and technique rather than sexiness (FYI check out vids of young ballroom dancers doing latin. No sex appeal to their dances, just tons of technique). P/B are going for more of a breezy Brazilian beach vibe with their dance, more languid movements and a somewhat less in your face presentation. W/P are attempting (rather successfully) to go for full on sex appeal more in a very mainstream manner. Their dance fits well with most people's expectations of latin, more broad and less specific to any one genre of latin. B/S are going for a very traditional ice dance interpretation of latin, with lots of strong facial features from her and big sweeping movements meant to distract from a lack of true latin dancing to the rhythm and beat of the music. He is more of prop in the dance than anything. Their's is the weakest effort in that regard.
Remember that one of the reasons the Shibs got lower SD scores earlier in the season is that they were missing certain levels on the Rhumba pattern and other elements. IIRC, Doris pointed out that the points for the Rhumba are significant and a difference in level can cause a major loss or gain of points.
As to D/W's score, clearly the judges are inclined to increase everyone's scores at this event (also the ladies given Alyssa's marks). Still V/M could likely have been far closer or even in the lead had Scott not only stayed on his feet, but also been more steady in other places. There were minor balance checks in other elements and overall, both seemed really eager (perhaps too much so) to the point that there was a wildness in some places. They came out of the gate like a house on fire and possibly got out of control. Also the fall was the result of a tracking issue (their skates clicked). That can be cause for the judges to hold down their SS or other PCS because it was their own fault as opposed to hitting a rut. Plus the fall was spectacular and happened right in front of the panel.

I too was surprised with how high D/W score was. Yes, Moir fell but I still didn't think it hurt their program so much as to have given D/W so much of a lead. Obviously, there is more to it than the fall but I've always preferred V/M SP to D/W by a landslide.
I agree with Emma - I'd like to see more of a discussion on how the two were scored and why such a "wide" margin.
I was underwhelmed by the Shibs...I'm wondering if the height difference is a problem (not that he just suddenly grew!) Technically, they are good but this kind of latin dance did nothing for them. An earlier poster suggested they choose music and create a program that was more relaxed and "friends in the the carribean feel".
Soooo, imagine V/M and D/W's scores were reversed, I bet many would be accusing just because the event's held in Canada. So what now? I'd like to hear from those people who thought V/M would win because it's in Canada.
Going over the protocols - could someone explain how those rhumba sequences are evaluated? Why did V/M and B/S get a 6.00 base value for their R2Sq but everyone else got 7.00? And why are theirs listed as R2Sq3+kpYNY while the others are R2Sq4+kpYYY. What do the Y's at the end mean? Those aren't compulsory series' that have the same base value? Obviously not...
V/M lost 2.5 points in base value, + 1 for the fall which leaves, what, roughly 1.5 points difference elsewhere? That more or less makes sense.
Last edited by mmcdermott; 12-09-2011 at 03:49 PM. Reason: proofreading!
Many felt like this meeting of D/W and V/M would somehow "settle" things with regards to who is the best team but Scott's fall has but a wrench it that. Clearly, they should be marked down for a fall but it would have been interesting to see what the scores would have been had he not fallen. Would they have been as close as many expected or would one team pull ahead? Unfortunately, the fall makes it hard to really determine who is the better couple (esp. since falls are so unusual in dance and especially with these teams. I think it was a freak accident that could have happened to either). I reckon we'll have to wait for Worlds. Hopefully, both teams skate their best and we can have a true comparison of both teams at their best.
ETA: The deficit they are in is not just the result of the the fall as the above points out. Had Scott stayed upright, there still would have been a TES difference due to the lower level on the first rhumba sequence which happened before the fall. Of course, it's all speculation to discuss the lower level on the circular steps. The execution of the element could have been the result of loss of focus due to the fall. Still if their levels had been 4 for both elements and no fall was assessed their would have been very little difference, espcially if PCS had been unaffected by the fall.
Also, D/W were the only team to get all level 4s, thus the large increase in score from previous comps.

Health Story: The Dentist Who Changed My Life
What are dental inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are gold, composite, or porcelain materials used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. Dentists use dental inlays and onlays to restore a tooth that is too damaged to repair with a filling but not damaged enough to need a crown. Dental inlays and onlays save the healthy portion of an injured tooth and provide strength and stability for normal chewing.
A dental inlay is placed in the center area of the tooth. A dental onlay is placed on the inside and outside areas, or points, of a tooth. Dental inlays and onlays are also called indirect fillings or partial crowns. They are a less aggressive and usually less expensive treatment option than full crowns.
Placing a dental inlay or onlay is generally considered safe, but there are risks and potential complications. It is only one method used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Discuss all of your options with your dentist to understand which options are right for you.
Types of dental inlays and onlays
Dental inlays and onlays can be made of the following materials:
Composites (resins) include powdered glass-like material and acrylics. Composite inlays and onlays are more cosmetically pleasing than metal because they match the tooth's color.
Metal, typically gold, but other metals may be used as well. Dentists may use metal inlays or onlays in back teeth, or molars, because of metal's strength and durability. Today, gold is used less often than in the past because it is less cosmetically pleasing than other types of inlays and onlays.
Porcelain matches the tooth's color.
