|Nate Robinson loves locked out sports
|07.12.11 at 2:16 pm ET
Quite an offseason for former Celtics guard Nate Robinson. First, he was arrested for urinating on a bookstore in a New York City suburb. Now, after joining hundreds of players in the unemployment line due to the NBA lockout, the former University of Washington two-sport athlete is hoping to spend his summer trying out for the NFL. Here's what the 5-foot-9 Robinson told SLAM Magazine:
"I might go play football. Do something that nobody's tried to do. If I can, I would love to play football a little bit. I've been doing a little bit of training. Why wouldn't you want to have an NBA player that can play football try out? That's a lot of publicity for your organization."
There's one little problem: The NFL is locked out, too. Kinda makes you realize why Robinson decided to pull up for 3-pointers when he was on a 1-on-4 fast break. It's fairly safe to assume Nate Robinson is the best two-sport locked out athlete in history.
|Shaq video chronicles gruesome cast removal
|07.08.11 at 1:56 pm ET
For anyone who might think Shaquille O'Neal exaggerated the right Achilles tendon injury that kept him from all but 12 minutes of the 2010-11 NBA Playoffs, take a look at the foot-long surgical incision on his leg in the embedded video — pieced together from a series of videos he posted on Tout.
Apparently, Shaq underwent surgery on the Achilles in the month and change since he informed the Celtics that he would retire from the NBA after 19 seasons. He now sports a supportive boot, complete with a chrome lining.
During his retirement press conference, Shaq announced his final nickname — The Big AARP — laying his Superman, The Big Shamrock and countless other monikers to rest. Of course, he only lasted a little over a month before declaring yet another nickname as a result of the surgical staples you can see being removed from his calf and ankle: The Big Staple Center.
Both Shaq and girlfriend Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander hinted at more to come. First, Shaq said he'll be hiding his removed cast somewhere and will provide clues to its location soon. And then Hoopz tweeted that she and Shaq will be driving to the West Coast and back in an RV. Kinda like "On the Road" but with Jack KerouShaq.
Let's just hope Yao Ming follows a similar post-career path after Yahoo! Sports broke news of his retirement.
|Ken Berger on D&C: NBA owners 'want the players crushed and brought to their knees'
|07.01.11 at 10:36 am ET
CBS Sports' Ken Berger called in to Dennis & Callahan Friday morning to discuss the NBA lockout. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Berger said the key difference between the CBA negotiations in 1998 and 2011 is 'a groundswell now of support among the owners to fundamentally change the sport.'
'That was not the case in the '98-99 lockout,' Berger said. 'The owners wanted cost-certainty, now they want to be guaranteed profit. They essentially want the players crushed and brought to their knees.'
While Berger said that the two biggest issues in these negotiations are profit-splits and the hard-cap, he also criticized the NBA owners for misrepresenting their profitability to justify their position.
'I don't want to say that the owners are lying, or committing accounting fraud, or anything like that,' Berger said. 'But as anybody knows, anybody who's ever done a tax return or opened a lemonade stand, you know that you can make the numbers say whatever you want them to say.
'They are clearly massaging the figures so that certain expenses '¦ are counted on their books as money going out the door year after year, when it's not really money going out the door.'
|Instant Irish Coffee: Big Baby blogs
|05.31.11 at 10:27 am ET
Following an atrocious performance for the Celtics in the conference semifinals against the Heat, free agent Glen Davis is refocusing on two things that made him so successful to start the 2010-11 season — working out and eating right — as well as one new hobby: blogging.
Here's a bit from Big Baby, who took some time out from eating chicken burgers, pasta and kale with strength and conditioning coach Kevin Kearns to blog at iambigbaby.com:
I am very excited to start working out again, set some summer goals and really get ready for next season. It is all about a balanced lifestyle, putting time in at the gym and eating right. I have a great team around me and as you will see my main man, my trainer, is already trying to one up me in the first edition!
While Davis may have a great team of trainers around him, he doesn't have a basketball team to play with quite yet. The Celtics have said they will offer Davis a contract but won't match an offer from another team that exceeds his value to the Celtics.
Of course, as is always the case, the blog isn't always entirely accurate (it is the Internet after all). In his second entry, two weeks ago, he was under the impression that the Celtics had gotten a No. 2 seed in the NBA Playoffs. Perhaps that's why he seemed so confused in Miami.
If you're at all interested in the possibility of an NBA lockout, Ken Berger's piece over the weekend is a must read. He highlights a few important dates in the negotiations and compares the NBA's predicament to the current NFL fiasco. Here's an important note:
|Doc Rivers: 'I love our guys' and I'm 'leaning heavily to coming back'
|05.11.11 at 10:08 pm ET
Just minutes after being eliminated in a stunning 16-0 game-ending run in Game 5 by the Miami Heat, Doc Rivers announced that he is leaning heavily toward returning as the Celtics head coach next season.
"I'm leaning heavily to coming back," said Rivers, who is not signed for the 2011-12 season. "I haven't made a decision but I can tell you I probably will [return]. I've kind of come to that [decision] over the last couple of weeks. I'm a Celtic and I love our guys. And I want to win again here, I do. I'm competitive as hell and I have a competitive group. So, we'll see but I can tell you that's where I'm at today. I may change my mind tomorrow but that's where I'm at today."
Rivers reflected on the intense fight that his team put forward with players like Rajon Rondo, Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal battling injuries throughout the series.
"I know we gave a lot in Game 3 and I never felt like we could ever get all that effort back from all our guys and the games did come quick," Rivers said. "I will say this, I don't believe this team is done, though. After listening to the Lakers being broken up after they lost, I'm sure, hell, we're all done, our team. We have to add some people but other than that, I love the guys in that locker room."
The first major personnel decision could be what to do with Glen Davis, who is unsigned next season. Jeff Green is also a restricted free agent this summer. Shaquille O'Neal told TNT's Craig Sager before the Game 5 that he will decide this summer if he will play again or retire.
As for the game itself, Rivers had few words for the 16-0 run that ended his seventh season in Boston.
"It happens," Rivers said. "I've just about seen all of it. It's not the way you want to end the game or the season."
Visibly fighting off emotions, Rivers concluded the post-game Game 5 press conference by answering how much of his desire to return is tied to the fact that Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are all under contract for next season.
"Yeah, and I love them and I love the people I work for," Rivers said. "It's tough. So, we'll see. That's where I'm at today for sure."

|Why Erik Spoelstra and the Heat still fear Kevin Garnett and the C's
|05.10.11 at 12:04 pm ET
After Saturday night's 28-point, 18-rebound performance, Erik Spoelstra called Kevin Garnett the modern-day Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
After his team found a way to hold Garnett to 1-of-10 shooting from the field and seven points in a 98-90 overtime win over the Celtics Monday night, Spoelstra wasn't about to say he found any miraculous answer. And if he did, he wasn't about to share it anyway.
'I'm not going to say anything about it," Spoelstra said. "Now he's got 48 hours to gain all his fuel again and fuel him up. I'm sure if I actually paid attention, everybody will be saying whatever they will be saying about him."
Chris Bosh was a big piece of the puzzle on Monday night, so was Joel Anthony, the surprise starter at center for Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
"He's a champion," Spoelstra said of KG. "I have incredible respect for him. We tried to be active defensively. We tried to not leave people on an island. I anticipate we'll get their best games on Wednesday and we have to be better than that. If we're real about what we want to do, we have to beat the Boston Celtics at their best.'
All of that is well and good but Doc Rivers knows he has to have more out of KG Wednesday night in Miami if the Celtics have a prayer of chance to bring the series back to the Garden for Game 6 Friday night.
"I don't know," Rivers responded when asked if Garnett was tentative. "They trapped him a couple of times and I thought he was probably looking more for traps. We have to get him down there more; we tried. So, I don't know. I don't think so. I think he was looking for ' he was looking to be a passer to me more than being an aggressive scorer. And that was that.'

Chickpea Pizza With Harissa And Spinach
Makes two personal pizzas
1 cup chickpea flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
a few cracks of black pepper
1 cup water
olive oil, to coat the pan
About 2 tablespoons harissa* (this amount may vary depending on your taste and how hot your harissa is)
1/2 large onion, chopped and caramelized
1 cup packed fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
*For homemade harissa, I recommend "Jerusalem's recipe. I like using Fresno chiles so that it's not too hot, which means I can pile it on my pizza.
1) Preheat oven to high broil.
2) In a medium bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, and then whisk in the water. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
3) Heat a large oven safe skillet on the stove over medium heat and coat the bottom with oil. Pour in half of the batter and tilt the pan to distribute it evenly. It will be about 8-10 inches. Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom is browned and comes away easily from the pan, and then flip to do the same on the other side.
4) Remove the crust from the heat. Spread on the harissa and top with half of the onion, spinach, and mozzarella. Place in the oven for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
5) Repeat with the other half of the batter and toppings. Leftovers are great the next morning cold!

The major averages remained in the red in early-afternoon trading Monday as geopolitical concerns in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine continued to weigh on stocks.
The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow industrials were each down 0.4%. Volume was tracking lower on both exchanges thus far in the stock market today. Homebuilders and automakers were among the few groups holding up.
Toy makers were some of the worst performers. Hasbro (HAS) fell 3% in fast turnover, sliding well below its 200-day moving average. The Pawtucket, R.I.-based company's Q2 results missed views, hurt by weak sales of games and preschool toys.
Key rival Mattel (MAT) gave up 2% in busy trade and is 26% off its high. The El Segundo, Calif.-based toy giant gapped down 7% July 17 after it missed Q2 forecasts by a wide margin. Revenue fell for a third straight quarter as Barbie sales continued a recent decline.
On the upside, Facebook (FB) added 2% and is now nearly 5% above a 66.57 cup-with-handle buy point. Volume was tracking higher but has tailed off by the close in recent sessions. The social network reports Q2 results Wednesday after the close. Analysts expect earnings to jump 68% to 32 cents a share on a 55% increase in sales to $2.81 billion.
Netflix (NFLX) gapped up at the open and was up more than 1% in higher-than-usual volume. The stock is still in buy range, at nearly 4% above a 434.99 buy point. The streaming services provider is due to give Q2 results after hours today, with views calling for a 137% EPS jump on 25% revenue growth.
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) climbed 2% in heavy trade to new-high ground, extending its 14% surge from Friday. On Thursday after the close, the chipmaker announced fiscal Q3 profit and revenue that beat views and guided current-quarter forecasts higher.

the test stage that will be performed for the project. Requirement Type(s) may vary in description at different organizations; the following are some of the typical Requirement types:
- Functional–the objectives of the system: functionality, including navigation, data entry, processing and Retrieval and the proper implementation of the business rules.
- System Performance– how well a function is accomplished in quantitative terms.
- System Load/Stress– the performance of the target-of-test under the stress of many clients requesting data at the same time.
- Business Scenario– specific steps that the user(s) will perform using the system.
- Security–application level security, including access to data or business functions and system-level security.
- Usability–the ability of the end-user to utilize the system as defined.
- Conversion–the conversion of one or more characters of data between the target-of-test and a device.
3) Determining the Test Stage applicable to the Requirements
Based on the Requirement Type(s) identified, the test stage can be determined. For example, the Requirements for the project may be provided in the form of a contractual agreement between an organization and a Vendor, where the Vendor's software is expected to perform transactions within a stipulated period ot time. The test stage in this instance would be Performance testing; the stage(s) of the Performance test can be determined based on the Requirements defined in the agreement. Some of the industry standard test stages are:
- Unit Testing
- Integration Testing
- System Testing
- System Performance
- System Load/Stress
- System Security/Access Control
- Functional Testing
- User Acceptance Testing
A definition of the test stages that will apply for the various architectures within an organization will assist in determining the appropriate test stage applicable to the Requirements gathered.
4) Building a Requirements Matrix
The Requirements Matrix is a simple form of tabling the project requirements. This is especially useful for small enhancement projects comprised of one component and bug fixes of a short test duration.
Data gathered from sources, such as, Change Control Process documents, JAD sessions, and Vendor supplied documentation can be extracted and placed in a Requirements Matrix to streamline the list of items to be tested for a project.
Requirement descriptions should be written in a modular fashion and assigned identifiers. The identifiers should be used to cross-reference test cases (scripts). This provides a means for determining when there are enough test cases (scripts) to cover all Requirements. When there is a change in Requirements or design, the identifiers and cross-reference provide the means to quickly determine which test cases (scripts) need to be changed and which are re-usable.
The list of fields to include in a Requirement matrix are listed below:
- Requirements ID (used to trace the requirement to the script id)
- Requirement Description
- Test Stage/Type
- Test Case (Script) ID
- Pass/Fail
5) Reviewing the Requirements
Once the Requirements have been gathered and assessed, regardless of the sources used, documented information, including Requirement Matrix should be initially reviewed with Developers and Users or the appropriate project team personnel, so as to assure an understanding of what the feature is supposed to do. This can be accomplished by:
- Conducting formal reviews with Users and Developers or the appropriate Project Team members.
- Forwarding documented notes taken from discussions with Project Team personnel denoting understanding of the requirements as outlined in discussions. This provides the verification of the data and initiation of corrections prior to testing.

This website sadly doesn't have their records online, but it does give information on how to access the records and has a separate page about family history. If you have discovered an Apothecary on your family tree then it would be well worth your while to try and research further. Some fascinating records and history could await you.
The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London
Royal Household Records
I posted about this record set just a few days ago and now they are online – gosh things move fast in the family history world !!
This collection offers a real insight to life in the Royal Household, just the thing for the Jubilee Weekend. It is not just those high up on the royal servant pecking order that get mentioned so this dataset is worth searching even if you feel your ancestor never got further than scrubbing the royal kitchen floor!
Personally I am hoping to find a Keeper of the Lions in the Tower ancestor or perhaps a Royal Molecatcher or two !!
Royal Household Records to go online
If you think you have an ancestor who worked for the Royal family then here is some good news for !! An agreement has been reached between FindMyPast and the Royal Archives to scan and place online on the FindMyPast website documents that will help trace the employment history of the Royal employees.
The records range from the 17th century to 1920. Something to look forward to!!
Warwickshire Online Databases
Whilst we are on the subject of Warwickshire …….. the Warwickshire Record Office has a range of online databases which would be very helpful to those with Warwickshire family.
Victuallers Database
The Victuallers database is a database containing details of licensed victuallers in Warwickshire from 1801-1828. The information has been taken from the series of registers of calendars of Victuallers' Recognizances held by the County Record Office.
Tithe Apportionments Database
The Tithe Apportionments database contains information from the Warwickshire tithe apportionments, produced after the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836. Not all our parishes have apportionments, but those that have now appear on this website and the data entry is complete.
Calendar of Prisoners
The Calendars of Prisoners database is an index to the 'Calendars of Prisoners' or lists of those held in the County Prisons (in Warwick, Birmingham and Coventry) for trial at the Courts of Assize and the Quarter Sessions courts held in Warwick between 1800 and 1900.
Windows on Warwickshire
Windows on Warwickshire is a searchable database of images of historic photographs and other items held at Warwickshire museums, archives and libraries, as well as Compton Verney Art Gallery and Warwick Castle.
Red Cross Nursing Awards
Findmypast has just put a new dataset online. It is another of Sue Light's indexes regarding the nursing profession. The Red Cross Nursing Awards were given to some 8,969 people, both men and women for "special exertions in providing for the nursing, or for attending to, sick and wounded soldiers and sailors". These records span the period 1883 to 1994.

My Norwegian immigrant great grandparents, Halvor & Anna Opland, built and settled this farm in 1892. My grandfather took over the farm from them and he and my grandma raised their four children on this farm. Their youngest son and my father, "Rusty", was born in that house in 1935 and he and my mom still call this home after almost 55 years of marriage. Today my brother & sister-in-law and their four children - the 5th generation of Oplands, continue to milk cows in the original barn and farm this same land. That's my Dad green chopping for the cows - something he still does 38 years later and they still have that same Allis-Chalmers tractor.—Karen Opland Hauser
Since this picture was taken in 1973, the chicken coop has been replaced with a machine shed, the barn cleaner chute on the west end of the barn was enclosed "so Dad didn't have to stand in the cold winter winds or snow/rain to clean the barn" and this enclosure also provided additional calf pens. A heavy spring snowstorm has taken down an older shed while two more machine sheds and corncribs were added as was a quonset for the kid's 4-H sheep project . My brother and his family have also replaced the small pine trees we planted as kids (in the mid-upper left area of the picture), with their home.
In 1992 it was an honor to be recognized at the WI State Fair as a "Century Farm" and we later hosted a large celebration with family and friends at the farm. Dad and mom are still proud of the "ole homestead" and they all work to keep the farm looking good at a 119 years old and still going!
1973 doesn't seem that long ago till you look back at the picture and notice and think about all of the changes in those years. Thank you Vintage Aerial for making these photos available!

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We are a non-profit organization, dedicated to finding unwanted pets there FOREVER home!
We established ourselves in 2006 and are happy to say we have made great progress.
We survive soley on our adoption donations, and donations from animals lovers and good samaritains. If you cannot adopt, please consider fostering or donating~~visit our how can you help page for more info.
Our animals come from a variety of places: Rural shelters, found a stray, unwanted litters,and people that need to re-home their pets.
We primarily take in adult dogs, and puppies, but will usually be able to find a fosterhome & a FOREVER home for any furry critter with 4 legs :)
Please browse through our site to learn more on adoption, and statistics, and to see our adoptable pets.
Also K9 Companion Rescue will try to help any person that needs to re-home their pet. Please email for more info.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Re: Heading out in the morning for Dads elk hunt...
Just a quick note. We just got back, have to get unpacked and then attend to a few things in the shop. When I get time I will post a full write up on our hunt.
Simply put, it went well. Had a great time, lost some weight!!! and Dad took a great bull. Not quite a large as we were hoping but we took the largest bull we saw so Dad was very happy.
I took a good Fallow buck, not huge but a pretty buck. Ranges were not all that long but Dads shot was quite a difficult one.
More when I get a chance to take a breath and download some pics.
Back to work for now though.

Re: Heading out in the morning for Dads elk hunt...
Well, finally have a few minutes to sit down and write down a bit about the hunt. First off, let me state that this hunt was booked on a large acreage, high fence private hunting ranch. No more, no less, it is what it is and I am in no way comparing it to anything other then what it is so those of you that are opposed to high fence hunting, I respect your opinion and certainly understand your feelings, please do so in return and we will all be happy campers.
We started off getting down to the ranch midday and arrived to find no one around. We figured that they must be off getting supplies or in the field. We unloaded our gear in the cabin and set on the deck relaxing until the ranch owner came rolling in with another hunter. He was an archery hunter and had gotten into a bad situation that morning with a mature cow at 25 yards jumping his string(traditional recurve gear) and his shot landed on the ham and unfortunately did not cut any major blood ways. Took then nearly 5 hours to get another opportunity to finish off the cow but to his credit he stuck with the bad situation and brought it to an end.
We helped them hang, dress, skin and quater the cow and then went into the ranch house for a late lunch. After that the ranch owner Ron, asked if we wanted to put in an evening hunt. Dad and I both agreed and we geared up and headed out. That morning, Ron had seen a good bull in a draw when him and the bow hunter were looking for cows so we drove the ranger to the head of this draw and then got out and started walking mid level up this timbered draw. We ended up at the end of the draw and had not seen an elk, not an animal for that matter!!!
We jumped over to the next draw and worked our way back down to where the ranger was and still never seeing much of anything!!!! We set at the ranger which was parked on the edge of a big open meadow until dark but the only critters that came to feed were a small herd of Fallow and two young rag horn bulls.
We headed back to the ranch for dinner and then hit the sack to get ready for the next days hunt.
We got up, had breakfast and headed out to the south portion of the ranch. It was pretty much the same type of deal as the evening before, drive to the head of these big timbered draws, walk up them and then jump over into another one to walk back down, roughly 2 miles each way. On this hike we did see more elk but only cows and young bulls.
When we got back to the ranger we drove to another meadow and did some glassing. We spotted a group of elk at the far end of the meadow around a mile away. Farther then Dad wanted to shoot at an elk. There were several cows, several young bulls and two decent mature bulls in the 350" range, both clean 6x6 bulls.
We decided to make a stalk on them and dove into the timber and made out way up to where the elk had been but by the time we got there they had moved on and we could not catch up with them. We looked around that basin for a couple hours but could not locate them again. Ron then decided to head back to the quad and drive to the north end of the property where there was a large timbered bowl that often held alot of elk when the temps rose. This was because there were alot of wallows, ponds and heavier timber which stayed cooler.
We drove to one area and then got out and walked up to a ridge that overlooked the bowl. Set up the spotters and started glassing. It did not take long before we started seeing parts of elk here and there in the timber but could never get a clear view of them. After at least an hour of spotting, we did catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a much more mature bull then we had seen up to that point. He was feeding with what appeared to be 6-7 younger bulls and they were slowing heading toward some heavy timber which on the other side of that was a large meadow that the elk liked to feed at during the night. Normally we would have just went and set up on the meadow and waited but there was no way the elk were trying to make it to the meadow before last light so we decided to try to intercept them.
We dropped back down into the draw and then made our way around to another ridge that should put us right between the bulls and the timber they were heading for.
Seemed like forever but finally we saw the first antler tips coming over the curve of the timbered hillside.
First were 5 young bulls and they fed out into an opening. We were beginning to worry that the larger bull had dropped off this small herd until we noticed the young bulls scatter as one of them got a fump full of antler from behind and the big bull pushed them through the opening as if to say they were going way to slow. We were able to catch a quick glimpse of the bull this time. Not overly long fronts, good main beams, great backs and good mass. He appeared to be a clean, typical 6x6. Dad said, "Lets try for him if we can get set up on him."
We did some quick looking and there were two good shooting lanes from out position about 40 and 80 yards down the ridge. Dad set up on the first one, ranged it at 255 yards and told Dad to hold dead on where he wanted to hit the bull. As the bull neared the opening which was only around 5 feet across, Ron blew a bugle to the bull which did not even phase him until he was past the opening, then he did stop for a couple seconds to see who was worked up.
The next opening was tighter, only a few feet across between two old ponderosa pines. This time as the bull hit the opening, Ron cow called to the bull and he stopped perfectly broadside but this time I screwed things up by accidentally hitting the pause button on the camera with my thumb as I zoomed in on the bull. Luckily I noticed it and told Dad to hold off until I could get the camera rolling. By that time, just seconds later, the bull was off and moving again, well past the opening.
We looked ahead, getting a bit frantic now and noticed another narrow window but we would have to relocate for this one so we ran up the hill about 12 yards, Dad flopped down and I positioned myself right behind him, this time keeping the camera rolling!!!
Ron cow called again and this time the bull stopped but turned quartering toward us at around a 45 degree angle. I told Dad to take him right on the point of the shoulder hoping to punch some of both lungs.
At the shot, it was clear Dad had missed the shoulder but had impacted very tightly behind it. The bull stumbled at the effects of the 195 gr ULD RBBT at 280 yards, regained his feet and slowly walked up the hill around 40 yards to the younger bulls that were bunched up and looking all over for what caused the loud noise. The big bulls hind end wobbled and he fell. I thought this was the end but he got right back up and slowly walked another 40 yards. The timber was to tight to get off another shot at the bull but he was not moving well so we knew he was hurt. Finally he laid down again but it took him 10 minuted before he laid his head down on the ground.
We gave the bull another 20 minutes just to be sure he had passed. Through the spotter we could not see any sign that he was breathing so we slowly made out way to him.
He was pretty much what we had thought he was but wider then average. Great tops, a bit short on the fronts but overall a great bull. Dad was very excited and the hectic nature of getting the shot off really had him worked up!!! It was good to see. I will never forget the look on his face when he walked up on the bull and realized it was dead. It has been 40 years since his last bull so he was well overdue.
Here is the happy hunter right after getting up to him.
This view shows the good tops of this bull. Ron said that they had had a very dry spring which was the reason for alot of the short fronts on the bulls this year. He said this bull on a normal year would have been a +380" bull pretty easily but on this year he taped in at just a hair over 365". Still a great bull and again, Dad was very happy.
Dad with his bull back at the cabin. This view shows the spread on the bull which was just over 52". His thirds really laid out well on this bull and gave him a unique look.
Another side view of Dads bull.
By the time we got the bull hung, skinned and in the cooler, it was time for dinner. After that Ron asked if I wanted to go sit on the timberline of a meadow to look for some Fallow, sounded like a good plan.
We geared up again, Dad switched out the 270 AM for the camera and I grabbed my M70 6mm-06 loaded with some 107 gr SMKs at 3400 fps. We drove to the start of a large meadow and then walked to an area where Ron said that a good herd of Fallow had been using regularly for feeding in the evenings and that there had been several mature bucks in the herd. The area was bowl shaped and protected by some rolling hills which I am sure is why the Fallow were using it as a feeding area.
As such, we had to sit up on one of these hills to overlook this area. This also limited how far I would be shooting, from 150 to 380 yards max which was fine.
After 20-30 minutes we spotted some Fallow does working through the timber out into the meadow. It was not long before there were at least a couple dozen does and younger bucks in the meadow feeding. Eventually, we caught sight of some mature bucks hanging back in the timber. There were three of them. Two light colored fawn and one dark red fawn. One of the lighter colored bucks had long main beams but few points and thin palms so he was taken out of consideration for a shooter right away.
The other light colored buck also had long main beams, pretty wide, good palms but not that many points.
The darker colored buck has shorter main beams but very wide palms and alot of points. I figured he would score the best of the group so I set up on him. The two lighter colored bucks were just on the timberline but the darker buck was deeper back in the timber so I just waited for him to work his way out to the timberline for a shot. After 10 minutes or so, to our suprise, the lighter colored bucks went back into the timber farther and the dark buck started to follow. I decided I better take the first shot I had. Ranged him at just over 300 yards which was pretty much dead on for the big 6mm-06. He cleared some pines and presented a prefect broadside shot.
The trigger broke and the 107 gr SMK landed perfectly right behind the shoulder. Had I not had a PK brake on this rifle I would not have known I hit him because he kicked once and then just stood there as if he was not hit at all. I was beginning to worry about the SMK pin holing through the buck so I worked the bolt for another round but by the time I got back onto the scope, Dad said he was going down and he did right there, within 10 yards of where he had been hit.
We walked up to the buck and I was happy with what I saw. Again, not an overly large frame on the antlers but a pretty buck, big palms, lots of points and great cape color. I was very happy.
This picture is a bit blurry, need to talk Dad into letting the auto focus do its job on the camera!!! LOL. The buck has relatively short fronts but was good everywhere else.
He ended up scoring right at 190". Not my biggest buck but a good one. Several years I took another Fallow that scored just over 200" but it did not have near this pretty of a coat, larger framed but not as good of points.
We loaded the Fallow up and got it skinned and in the cooler and hit the sack. We were both pretty whooped. The next morning we got up early, boned out the bull and quartered the Fallow and packed them all into several big coolers and headed for him.
All in all, it was a great trip, fast but good. I was hoping to get Dad a bit larger bull but we killed the biggest bull we saw so you can not complain about that. I also would have liked to shoot a bit longer ranges but Dad made a great shot and I did alright as well so how can you complain about a 2 fer 2 performance.
Now its back to the shop for around 6 weeks until our big game season opens here in Montana. Hopefully get a load more rifles out to customers by then so they can get them out in the field as well.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable hunting season, look forward to all the hunting stories.

UC Davis researchers are developing a method to detect leaks by flying over long stretches of hard-to-reach natural gas pipelines.
The system uses sensitive instruments and specially-designed software, and it could prove more efficient and more cost-effective than current methods.
On a recent cool, sunny morning at the Lincoln regional airport just north of Sacramento, UC Davis atmospheric scientist Stephen Conley demonstrated just how it works.
Sitting in his small two-seater plane, Conley opens a laptop computer that's hooked up to the measurement instruments and a GPS locator synched to a map of the pipeline. He points to yellow and red lines on the screen:
"So there's the pipeline, here's where we are. We want to fly over there," Conley says.
The computer screen also displays a box with a real-time spiky line graph showing methane concentrations in the air. The line is actively moving up and down.
"Basically, what we're doing is if we fly over an area where's there's a leak, we're going to see a spike in methane."
Intake tubes underneath the plane's wing are constantly sampling the air, and a special greenhouse gas instrument measures the concentration of certain gases.
But it's not as simple as flying around looking for methane "plumes." Conley and his research partner have written complex software that takes wind into account.
"We use all these studies of the boundary layer to figure out, given the winds and the vertical mixing of turbulence, where should the plane be, how far downwind, to give this plume time to rise to our altitude."
This calculation lets the pilot steer into the exact position where if there were a leak, the very sensitive equipment would pick it up.
Conley eases the plane into the air and heads west toward a PG&E pipeline that runs along the coastal range.
The methane measurement graph bounces up and down as the plane sails over some neatly groomed agricultural fields and ponds -- but when it reaches the pipeline the chart levels off. No spikes today.
But at this point that's not a guarantee there are no leaks.
Conley's UC Davis colleague Ian Faloona says they're tweaking the program's algorithm to account for how wind really behaves.
"So there's a certain element, that we don't know what the wind is exactly doing, but we want to improve our models of that behavior based on these measurements that we make."
The $200,000 research project is largely funded by PG&E.
Conley says he and his colleagues will continue to refine the software, and he hopes the open-source program will eventually be picked up and further improved.

Lavrushinsky Lane, 10
Getting here, Opening times
Pavel Tretyakov purchased the first paintings in 1856 which formed the basis of the famous collection. As his collection grew, special outbuildings were built as wings attached to the main building's living quarters to accommodate additional works of art. When Pavel died (1898) the building was redesigned by the karchitect V.Vasnetsov (1902-1904) and thus the private house was transformed into the great museum we see today which has been visited by numerous generations since that date.
The Tretyakov Gallery on Lavrushinsky Pereulok is a huge museum complex today.
The Gallery's historical building, houses Russian art from the 11th to the early 20th centuries. On display in the Old Russian Art section are icons by both unknown and famous icon painters from the 12th-17th centuries (including Theophanes the Greek, Andrei Rublev and Dionysius). The halls of the 18th – to the first half of the 19th century, display paintings by famous Russian masters, such as F.Rokotov, D.Levitsky, V.Borovikovsky, K.Bryullov and A.Ivanov…
The Gallery holds a wide-ranging collection of Russian Realism from the second half of the 19th century. Its masterpieces include famous paintings by I.Kramskoy, I.Repin, V.Surikov, I.Shishkin, V.Vasnetsov, I.Levitan and many others. The brilliant display of works of art from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries include pieces by M.Vrubel, V.Serov, masters of the World of Art, Union of Russian Artists and the Blue Rose groups.
The "Treasury" displays works made in precious metals and stones produced between the 12th to the early 20th century and plays a special role in the Tretyakov collection. On display are unique gilt and silver icon mounts (Kirill Ulanov. "The Assumption of the Virgin". 1702. Mount. Master M/LS, early 18th century); embroidery in gold and silver silk thread pearls and precious stones; a stone carving (double sided icon with The Prophet Elijah in the Wilderness on the front and St Nicholas on the back dating from the late 12th century); bone, wood carving, jewellery (C. Richard. Portrait of Catherine II as Minerva, 1789); miniatures (A.Chernov, Portrait of Grand Duchess Maria Fyodorovna, 1779) in gold frames and also intricately decorated books and church utensils (G.Master, Chalice, 1835).
Many exhibits are not only amazing works of art, but are also records of historical events. The collection includes a unique Byzantine mount from the late 13th - early 14th century for the Russian "Virgin of Hodegetria" icon (late 15th-early 16th century) which was kept in the Trinity Monastery of St Sergei - most probably by Sophia Paleologue. The embroidered "ubrus" and "podvesnaya pelena" were made in the 16th century in the sewing rooms of Anastasia Romanovna – Ivan the Terrible's first wife. They were given as 'offerings' by the Tsar and Tsarina, to the Suzdal-Pokrovsky monastery as supplication for an heir. They adorned the venerated icon of "Our Lady with Child" which was also decorated with a pectoral cross, a precious tsata and a tiara and necklace dating from the 17th century. Works by these old Russian masters impress not only by their expression of deep piety, but also by the intricate detail of the works.
Of particular interest in the display are the icon mounts (for example on the 'St John the Baptist appearing as the Angel of the wilderness' icon by an unknown artist and dated from the late 17th to early 18th century as well as Bibles and church vessels from the 17th century. The very highest traditions are preserved in work by the 18th - early 19th century masters. The development of the precious metal industry in the late 19th century generated a number of outstanding workshops (including the world renowned Faberge company) where artists mastered all the intricate styles of decorative applied art. Examples of their work are displayed in the Treasury including that of Y Mishukov (The Tabernacle, 1912).
A special section in the Gallery is devoted to graphic art which cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. The halls are therefore illuminated with soft artificial light. Yet, because of the delicacy of the materials used, it is still not possible for the exhibits to be displayed on a permanent basis despite all these cautionary measures. . Nevertheless the Gallery has the largest collection of graphic art from the 18th to early 20th century in Russia. It comprises more than 20,000 drawings, water colours, pastels, numerous albums, more than 3,000 engravings and a small but extremely valuable collection of just over 300 portrait miniatures. The Gallery's most valuable collection is a collection of Russian drawings and works by famous Russian artists portraying historical events.
The graphic art collection includes rare examples of drawings from the 18th century by A.Losenko, S.Shchedrin (Landscape with Ruins, 1799) and other masters who were at the forefront of the Russian drawing school. The Gallery's collection boasts remarkable works by artists from the first half of the 19th century, such as: O.Kiprensky (Portrait of Prince S.P. Buturlin, 1824) and K.Bryullov (Horsemen. Portrait of E.I. Mussard and Y.I. Mussard, 1849). The Gallery is also proud of its tremendous collection of A.Ivanov's legacy which includes his nature studies, preparation drawings, genre and landscape water colours (Arbour Covered with Vines, 1840s – 1850s) and his famous Biblical Sketches.
Drawing occupied an important place in the creative work of leading painters in the second half of the 19th century. The Gallery's collection contains a lot of graphic art by I.Repin (Portrait of the Italian Drama Actress Eleanor Duze, 1891), V.Surikov (With a Guitar. Portrait of S.A. Kropotkina, 1882), I.Shishkin (The Pine Tree, 1890), A.Savrasov, F.Vasiliev (After the Rain, 1870), V.Serov et al.
The work of M.Vrubel deserves particular attention (The Rose, 1904), an unsurpassable drawer and master of water colours who had rare talent for imagination, impeccable taste and sharp individual manner.
The new period in the history of Russian graphic art is associated with names of the masters from the World of Art group, such as A.Benois, K.Somov (The Harlequin and the Lady, 1912) M.Dobuzhinsky, L.Bakst et al. The work of these artists is characterized, on the one hand, by nostalgia for the past, for the jubilant theatrical quality of the 18th century, and on the other by a search for a new illustrative language and interest in theatre, book illustration and monumental decoration.
To ensure that the extensive collection of graphic art is put on display a conveyor-like system of changing exhibitions has been devised. The visitor then has the opportunity to view the huge collection of graphic art.
It is a former shelter for widows and orphans of "poor Russian artists", the land and money to build it was bequeathed by P.Tretyakov.
The building was constructed between 1909 – 1912 by architect N.Kurdyukov; it was reconstructed by engineer I.Kurdyukov in 1931.

Mining tax cap repeal clears Nev. Assembly panel
Mining lobbyist James Wadhams answers media questions following a hearing at the Legislative Building in Carson City, Nev., on Thursday, May 16, 2013.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — An Assembly panel Thursday approved a measure to repeal the constitutional tax cap on net proceeds paid by mining companies, a move long advocated by mining foes who claim the industry hasn't paid its fair share of taxes while reaping huge profits from Nevada's nonrenewable resource.
The 7-5 vote by the Assembly Taxation Committee was along party lines with Republicans opposed. SJR15 now goes to the full Assembly, where passage is [auth] likely. The measure, which was also approved by the 2011 Legislature, would then go to voters in 2014 for ratification.
"I think that SJR15 is an evolution in our tax structure and it's a first step in that direction," Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, D-Las Vegas, said after the meeting. Bustamante Adams is chairwoman of the committee.
The resolution repeals a 5 percent cap on mining net proceeds that has been in the state Constitution since the late 1980s.
Backers of the measure say the industry has skated on paying taxes in a state that saw its economy take a beating in the recession.
But industry representatives counter that mining also pays other taxes like sales and payroll taxes that other businesses pay. They argue that removing the industry's net proceeds cap would actually lower its tax burden.
James Wadhams, a mining lobbyist, reiterated that stance after Thursday's committee vote, saying SRJ15, if ultimately enacted, would amount to "significant" revenues losses to state and local governments.
"The people voted the tax increase in 1989. They may well reverse that in 2014," Wadhams told reporters.
Legislative lawyers, however, have stated otherwise. In earlier hearings, staff attorneys said if the constitutional section is repealed, the net proceeds liability remains in statute. Removing it from the constitution would give lawmakers flexibility to change the tax rate.
Mining has always been a target when lawmakers go looking for more money to fund state government. Nevada is the largest gold producer in the United States.
When gold hit record highs in recent years, that allure intensified.
Republicans from rural mining regions have staunchly defended the industry, but this session mining came up against some new foes — six Republican urban senators led by Majority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson.
Roberson has introduced a bill seeking to double the net proceeds taxes paid by Nevada's gold and silver mine operators. His measure, which has not been acted upon, would compete with a 2014 ballot question to impose a 2 percent margins tax on businesses that gross more than $1 million a year.
If it makes it to the ballot, it would be contingent upon voters repealing the mining tax cap in the state constitution.

Oil pump is in a package from summit which came with a 7 quart pan and a pickup. oil is straight 30w. no oil leaks or gaskets blowing out. just wondering if the relief spring isnt working or whats going on. bearing clearances are around .02-.03
I suppose one big thing to ask is what is the temperature around engine? If it's extremely cold, by that I mean freezing and lower, the oil will be very thick. It could be so thick that even with the bypass open the amount that can pass thorugh the bypass hole is not sufficient to lower pressure inside the engine. If this is in a very cold place I recommend dropping the oil from straight 30 to 5W20. Surprisingly most oils straight, multi, mineral, synthetic all tend to congregate in a fairly tight viscosity range at 200 degrees F, but at freezing and below the viscosity differences are very large. So frozen 30 weight is a lot stiffer than frozen 5W20. But and maybe surprising is that 30 weight and 10W40 follow a pretty similar curve so the heavier multi-weights don't really improve on the very cold viscosity situation over the straight 30.
The other possibility is that the bypass valve is hung up. This could be a spring problem or the valve is physically restricted from opening the bypass hole, this is usually caused by a burr left when the bypass hole was drilled that catches the valve shuttle.

Ripoff Report
API6000 Fairview Road Suite 1200 Charlotte, NC 28210 Nationwide USA
API Scam job interview/ offer through Monster Charlotte Nationwide
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Yet another API scam. I received my email through Monster for an interview with a company that provides school sports team support with free ticket printing, programs etc. The name on the email was Casey Smith, and the company was API which is supposed to stand for American Printing, Inc.
I could only find a printing company in Ohio by this name which has absolutely nothing to do with this scam. I called this Casey and asked for more info. She gave a link to a cheesy website that hadn't been well conceived or proof read. I then received two more emails trying to get me to interview for the job. In the email was an excuse that their new main location had construction issues.
I called back and had questions that she answered but still felt something was not right. I scheduled an interview hoping it might be for real.

text: In the past few minutes a file downloaded itself on my Windows laptop. The file's name was 'passback.js', and my only indication that it was downloaded was a dialog box in Chrome that said 'This type of file can harm your computer. Run or Discard'. Of course I chose Discard, because I hadn't downloaded anything. I was working in wordpress at the time. The programs I have open are Firefox with a familiar safe website open, Postbox desktop email client, calculator, a pdf file, My documents, and Pandora was playing in Chrome. It seemed very strange, and this type of thing hasn't ever happened before. I googled the program and found only one or two hits where the same file was downloaded to a smart phone, also without being prompted. I shouldn't have discarded the file so quickly, because I could have submitted it to have it tested. I'm not sure if this is something to be alarmed about or not, but I definitely don't feel secure if files can simply download themselves on my computer on their own..!

Today Typesafe, the company co-founded by Scala creator Martin Odersky, announced the release of Typesafe Stack 2.0. The new version of adds a proprietary management console, along with the newest version of the Akka middleware announced last week. The stack also includes the latest version of Scala and the Play framework.
Typesafe was founded last year to commercialize Scala. The company offers commercial support for the Typesafe Stack, along with a few proprietary tools such as the management console. There is also a free open source version of the stack that lacks the management tools.
Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that has become increasingly popular for building highly scalable Web applications. It's probably best known for its use at Twitter, where developers began using the language in place of Ruby for certain things. Scala runs on the Java Virtual Machine and features support for multiple cores.
In addition to Twitter, Scala is used by UBS for risk management, NASA for mission log analysis, Onyx Government Systems for data modeling and by The Guardian for its Content API.

89 allante pass. window/button cluster drivers side
I've had my 89 now for a few months, enjoying the ride and the car overall. Everything works in a way. My goal this summer is to clear up the minor issues and do some accessorizing next year. It looks like the drivers door panel has been removed in the past, the seat set/memory buttons (u/s) seem pushed below the underside of the cover and the pass. window lever has little resistance to the touch. the drivers side button window lever works fine. The passenger side window button stopped working a few weeks ago while the drivers side pass. button works intermittently (little resistance). Noticed this week end with the pass. window down, when closing the drivers door, the pass. window went up automatically . Replace the whole button(s) unit on the door?

Re: 89 allante pass. window/button cluster drivers side
are you familiar with removing the driver window switch?
if so remove the switch...CAREFULLY.
There are a couple of plastic tabs that hold the top and bottom of the switch together, they must be broken, causing the switch to seperate, which is why your memory seat buttons are "sunken".
if everything is in place and you hope to never have to opent he switch again, you can hold the switch together by hand and test to make sure the functions work properly. If they do you may use epoxy and a clamp to seal the switch halves together.
HOWEVER, these switches get dirty and need maintenance, a better option is to use tiny screws, two on the front and two on the back to screw the top and bottom together. This way when you need to open it up you dont have to deal with hardened epoxy.
if you need help removing the switch, please reply

Akron extends Keith Dambrot through 2023
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Akron has rewarded coach Keith Dambrot for a 26-win season by adding another year to his contract.
Dambrot, who signed a 10-year contract at his alma mater in 2012, received a one-year extension on Monday, taking him through the 2022-23 season. The Zips made the NCAA tournament last season, Dambrot's ninth at Akron.
Dambrot has compiled a 210-94 record - 107-41 in the Mid-American Conference - at Akron, building it into one of the nation's top mid-major programs.
Akron tied a school record for wins last season, won a second straight MAC regular-season title and won the conference's tournament for the third time in five seasons.
The Zips have posted eight consecutive seasons of at least 22 wins, one of just six Division I schools to accomplish the feat.

Pretty unpleasant smell
I received my very first order of Cocoa butter lotion yesterday and I was surprised with the unpleasant odor. I expected it to smell like cocoa butter but it has a rancid smell. I cant find the expiration date on the package. On the other side it moistens hands very well so I gave it 2 stars.

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Hindi is an Indo-European language spoken as a first language in majority states in northern India and second language in many countries where these people have emigrated. It is written with the Sanskrit's Devanagari script which fairly closely follows the phonetics of the language. Spoken Hindi is very similar to spoken Urdu — as such they are both often classified as part of the Hindustani (Indian) language.

Pepper-Sprayed for Peace
Pepper-Sprayed for Peace
By David Swanson
I've been coughing and vomiting, and my head aches from pepper spray. I'll post videos and photos of why at the link above.
We intended to hold signs and sing inside the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, protesting its promotion of unmanned drones, missiles, and bombs, including its sponsorship by and promotion of weapons corporations. We don't have any museums promoting health coverage or education or retirement security.
We had marched from the Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square occupations, taking over the streets of DC. The museum knew we were coming. Some of our group got in and dropped a banner. Hundreds of us did not. Instead, we were greeted at the door with cans of pepper spray.
There were three sets of entrance doors. I was among the first to open the third set of doors. A guard shook a can of pepper spray in front of me and demanded that we back out. But a dozen feet away at the second set of doors, people were staggering out and collapsing in pain, having been pepper sprayed in the face. I started to go toward them, but began coughing and vomiting. A lot of people were effected, directly or -- like me -- indirectly by the pepper spray.
It is not true that we assaulted the police. Nobody was accused of or charged with that. I didn't hear about it until later from the media. A young woman named Thi Le was told she'd be charged with assaulting a police officer after she was pepper sprayed and handcuffed, but they switched the charge to disorderly conduct and released her a few hours later.
It is not true that they only pepper sprayed one person. Many people were pepper sprayed.
It is not true that the crowd dispersed. The guards locked the doors and closed the museum. We had not planned to close the museum but to demonstrate and leave. With the museum closed and one of our own in custody, we held a rally on the steps as more people made their way over from Freedom Plaza to join us. We were there for hours.
We will be here for as long as it takes.
Congress comes back to this town on Tuesday.
We're ready.
We're nonviolent.
We're not scared.
We're not discouraged.
We're not fooled.
We've got demands as clear as a blue sky:
Occupy Wall Street
Occupy K Street
Occupy Everything
And Never Give it Back!
Veterans For Peace issues the following statement from Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C., 6pm Saturday October 8.
Approximately 50 members of Veterans For Peace participated in a march this afternoon from Freedom Plaza to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum on the National Mall. The museum was featuring an exhibit on unmanned drone bombers that a group of about 250 people from the October2011.org encampment at Freedom Plaza intended to protest.
The marchers ascended the museum steps, chanting, "When drones fly, children die."
They opened the doors at one of the three entrances, and when that entryway became full, they went to the second and third entrances.
VFP Acting Director Mike Ferner said, "I was at the first entranceway, holding the door open for people to enter. I saw a police or security officer in a white shirt hold his hands up, telling people to stop. The marchers continued and the officer began pepper-spraying everyone. From everything I saw until that moment, there was no reason for the pepper-spraying. The door of the museum clearly said "free admission." It did not say "Free admission if you are quiet" or "Free admission unless you have opinions contrary to government policy.'
"This was a clear abuse of authority and a use of force far beyond what was called for. Our members are consulting with National Lawyers Guild attorneys who are working with the october2011.org encampment."
"We are aware that one of the marchers shoved aside one of the officers. We do not condone this behavior."
Veterans For Peace is one of several groups organizing the October2011.org encampment. VFP is an organization composed of U.S. military veterans from WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars and every period in between.
Another blog on this is here.
And here's a report from an American Spectator reporter who infiltrated our movement in order to mock it and then got pepper sprayed by museum guards.

This water-based serum contains a high amount of the plant extract Plumeria acutifolia. Although research on this plant's benefit for skin is scant, we know that it contains chemical constituents with anti-inflammatory action, which is helpful (Source: Planta Medica, November 2008, pages 1,749–-1,750).
The formula, which is oil-free as claimed, also contains some good hydrating ingredients, though the blend of the ingredient propanediol coupled with a film-forming agent lends a slightly tacky finish. As for the peptides, they are cell-communicating ingredients but they do not have substantiated research proving their worth for reducing expression lines or wrinkles—this isn't liquid Botox.
On balance, this is a good, though pricey, fragrance-free serum for normal to oily or combination skin. The claims are somewhat over-the-top (for example, the tightening actin this has is from the film-forming agent, not your skin actually becoming tighter or being lifted) but it contains enough repairing and replenishing ingredients to merit consideration.
This cutting-edge solution locks in intense hydration so skin stays quenched. Powerful antiaging peptides help to decrease the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles while collagen builders help increase firmness. With immediate tightening effects, this fast-absorbing serum restores tone and refines texture, revealing healthy, glowing skin.

Kate Somerville At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists on their website; effective Anti Bac Clearing Lotion for acne; good eczema cream; some fantastic serums and moisturizers chock-full of beneficial ingredients.
Weaknesses: Expensive; irritating cleansers and scrubs; several products contain irritating ingredients with no proven benefit for skin; disappointing CC cream.
The woman behind this line is a Los Angeles–based aesthetician who owns her own clinic, which specializes not only in aesthetic services but also in cosmetic corrective procedures involving injections (dermal fillers), lasers, Botox, and the like. The clinic is staffed with a doctor and nurses, which is definitely what you want if you're considering services beyond a facial or a massage.
The selling points of this line are Somerville's years of experience in the aesthetics industry and her allegedly devoted celebrity clientele. As such, her products and famous clientele get press in the pages of fashion magazines, which explains why we routinely get asked about this skin-care line. Somerville herself is every bit as attractive as her star clients, and the information on her Web site is presented in such a way that you sincerely believe she has your skin's best interests in mind. And wouldn't you want to trust your skin's needs to a professional who also tends to celebrities?
Knowing all these details, we were anticipating that most of the products bearing Somerville's name would be state-of-the-art slam dunks. Alas, many of them are far afield from that level of formulation. When it comes to giving skin what it needs to function as healthily and normally as possible (and, at these prices, that's what you should expect), this line is, unfortunately, hit or miss. What Somerville knows about giving an amazing facial is one thing, but she clearly missed the research that proves how problematic several of the plant oils that she uses can be. A professional concerned with the health of her clients' skin shouldn't be formulating products with cinnamon, grapefruit, and lavender oils, among others.
If we were one of Somerville's clients, we'd certainly take her to task for that oversight, but we'd also want to know why she offers only one sunscreen and doesn't offer any effective AHA or BHA exfoliants. A discussion of advanced skin science and state-of-the-art ingredients is not sufficient if your product line has gaps: limited sun protection options, no reliable exfoliants, no non-drying cleansers, and a complete lack of options to treat skin discolorations (pigment irregularities, unlike blackheads, cannot be manually extracted, which makes the absence of a skin lightening product an issue).
This product line may not be the one you want to build your skin-care routine around, but there are some exceptional products. Of all the aesthetician-backed lines we've reviewed, none come as close to providing the level of formulary excellence of many of Somerville's moisturizers and serums. They're pricey, but if you're going to spend in excess for skin-care products, you should be doing so on products that stand a very good chance of markedly improving your skin's appearance. We are curious to see how this product line will expand and (hopefully) improve over the years. The current mishmash of awesome and awful products makes it risky to shop this line blindly (or on the sole rationale of a celebrity endorsement), but with careful consideration to avoid irritants you can find some products of value. Hopefully, she will expand the line to fill in the current gaps (especially for sun protection) and eliminate the irritants.
