May 26th - May 29th, 2011
In the 1950s and 60s Communist Parties developed the idea of a 'socialistboulevard' as an alternative to the western avenues like Champs Elysées. Nowadays Karl Marx-Allee in Berlin (former Stalin Boulevard) was built between 1952-1960. Between 2005-2006 Beijing based artist Lu Hao born in 1969 created the hand scrolls Chang' An Street and Recordings which have been presented at documenta 12. With THE BERLIN SCROLLS he is showing the German equivalent consisting of 6 scrolls documenting Karl Marx-Allee within a total length of 27 meters. Referring to traditional Chinese architecture painting (jiehua/ gongbihua) Lu Hao was painting on precious silk fabric. THE BERLIN SCROLLS also serve as a snapshot of the current stage of Karl Marx-Allee in 2010.

Alleged "Bad Santa" Prank Becomes Twitter Sensation - Tech Talk - CBS News
When Twitter users read that a disgruntled Santa at London's famed Harrods had rigged the store's Christmas lights to read "F*** OFF," many couldn't believe it.
And with good reason. It never happened.
The U.K. comedy blog The Poke sparked a viral storm when it reported - complete with doctored photo - that a Santa, fired for being drunk, broke into the maintenance control room of the landmark London department store and "took revenge last night in spectacular style."

Fishing equipment took a back seat to this Henry Rifle, in 22 mag. Oh well we always need another rifle, and they look pretty cool. You see they are made in AMERICA!!!!!
Very Nice and sure beats fishing equipment.... :lol:
American made!!!!! Can't beat that
Great looking Rifle HM
My father has one & loves it great little leaver .22's
Now just shoot the fish & you have the best of both worlds Hunting & fishing at the same time
very nice! Looks like yet another good investment HM
Is 22 Mag easier to find then 22LR?
Hopefully 22 mag is available in your area. It would be a bummer not to be able to shoot it.
Awesome. Always wanted one of those. I did get a Ruger American Rimfire in 22 Mag when they first came out but haven't shot it yet.
Karl, 22 mag is fairly easy to come by and had a bit stored for the Ruger single six. There is pretty good weight for the Golden Boy, should be fun to shoot. Cabela's has the 22 lr on sale for 350 right now.

Norway's huge sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, blacklisted two Israeli companies involved in construction of settlements in East Jerusalem, the country's finance ministry said Thursday.
The ban on investing in the firms revived a three-year prohibition on them that the Government Pension Fund of Norway had dropped in August last year.
The companies are Africa Israel Investments, an Israeli real estate developer, and its construction subsidiary Danya Cerbus.
The ministry cited the company's alleged "contribution to serious violations of individual rights in war or conflict through the construction of settlements in East Jerusalem," a territory where Israel's claims are deemed illegal by the international law.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund is fed by the country's oil surplus. It is worth an estimated $818 billion according to the SWF Institute, a body that tracks such funds.
As well as resuming the Israeli firm blacklisting, Norway suspended a restriction on the fund buying bonds issued in Myanmar, leaving only North Korea, Iran and Syria on the list of countries ineligible for investment.
The announcement comes several weeks after one of the Netherlands' largest pension asset manager said it was divesting from five Israeli banks because they finance illegal settlements.
In December, Romania barred its citizens from working for Israel's illegal West Bank settlements.

Funny you mention the electric superchargers, my mate had one and offered it to me for free. I told him if i decide to overclock my pc then ill have it lol
The fiesta was a really good toy but it got to the point where it was to unrelible for an every day car and i had spent to much money onit to have it sitting around as a weekend/track car. Ive sold most of it off still got the engine though which i need to get rid of soon before i drop it into something else and start wasting money again.
I would lighten the BMW but i quite like having a comfy car for everyday so dont want to strip it out, must be getting old and sensible lol. Just want a bit more power to make it more lively. Was considering turbo/supercharger but then thats going to make it unrelible so going to stick with a little bit of na tuning. If i can get near US spec m3 power ill be happy for now.

William Grant leads bids for Drambuie
William Grant & Sons is the strongest bidder in the £100m sell-off of Scottish cocktail spirit brand Drambuie, according to reports from industry insiders.
As Sky News reports, the company best known for brands such as Glenfiddich whisky and Hendrick's gin is the leading player in a pack of prospective bidders for the family-owned spirit brand.
Other strong contenders include Rémy Martin Cognac-maker Rémy-Cointreau, according to unnamed industry analysts.
Drambuie's owners are reported to be seeking around £100m for the business — a tempting price for major spirits companies with a desire to acquire another heritage brand in this year of big-budget takeovers.
With acquisitions such as that of Whyte & Mackay by Philippines-based producer Emperador for £430m in May, and other deals in the industry said to be brewing, a quick takeover of a popular brand with owners willing to sell at a good price would not be out of the ordinary.
A number of other major drinks groups, including Diageo, are understood to have opted not to make offers for Drambuie, which is being auctioned by bankers at Rothschild.
Drambuie's owners – the McKinnon family – have been associated with the brand since the early 20th century, but announced their intention to sell the brand in May after flat sales in the key US and Asian markets dampened their success in the UK, where the brand saw 17% growth.
As yet, William Grant & Sons have not made a comment.

Oak Meadow (Kindergarten and Grade School)
Oak Meadow Kindergarten
Kindergarten, for me, brings to mind the following: Playing. Sharing. Imagining. Creating. Co-operating. Building. Crafts. Music. Movement. Read Alouds. Educational Toys. Bright colors. Conversation. Imitating the adults in your life in regard to chores and activities. It's that sweet, magical time that's past the toddler stage but not yet at the student stage, where you get to just "be a kid." Where you are gradually prepared for moving on to "real school." That's how I remember it, anyway.
Making an Ice Sculpture
Raking Leaves
Paper Bag Puppets
For my daughter, when she attended public school Kindergarten, it was nothing like that. It was a very long, very academic day. Worksheets, homework, sitting at a desk all day long, barely getting any recess whatsoever, silent lunches. I thought that was a real shame. I thought there should have been more to a five year old's day. More fun. More getting outdoors. More wonder. More joy.
Building With Beans
Making Nature Silhouettes
When I began homeschooling (my daughter was in third grade when I pulled her out toward the end of that year, and my son not yet ready for any sort of formal schooling), a friend introduced me to Oak Meadow's Kindergarten curriculum. I looked through it, and I fell in love. I knew that when the time came, THAT was the kind of Kindergarten curriculum I wanted to do with my son. And I eventually did!
Pumpkin Painting
Oak Meadow K does not push academics or deskwork or worksheets or anything of the sort. It is sweet and gentle, laid back and slow-paced. I LOVE that about it.
Playing With Pattern Blocks
Instead of having to learn to read and add and things of that nature by the time a child is five years of age, Oak Meadow K focuses on imagination and creativity. On the developmental needs of a child as a whole. There are sweet stories and fingerplays and poems. There are fairy tales and crafts. There are nature walks and movement activities. There's gardening, cooking, painting and games.
Helping To Bake
Examining Trees
Kids learn the uppercase letters of the alphabet by finding them in nature, forming them with twigs, with your finger in a tray of salt, with a stick in the dirt, with tape on the ground so you can "walk" the shape, by forming it out of clay and bread dough. By listening to stories and drawing pictures. They learn numbers in similar ways, through play-based, hands-on activities, stories and crafts.
Hammering Nails Into The Shape Of A Capital N
Work is done in a "Main Lesson Book" (like an artist's sketch pad), which I know I will cherish for years to come.
I love the whole Oak Meadow philosophy, and I was excited to share in the experience with my son- Kindergarten in the way it SHOULD be experienced.
Farm Tour
Field Trip To Butterfly House
If you want to know more about what Oak Meadow K is like, see the following link for a "Detailed Oak Meadow Kindergarten Schedule Sample"- it shows how I broke down the first weekly lesson into a daily lesson plan, shows pictures of some of our first week's activities, shows a picture of what I used for our "Main Lesson Book," includes a bit more information about OMK as a whole, and links to my daily journal entries where I blogged about Kindergarten:
Oak Meadow, Grade School Years
Around the same time I decided that I would definitely do OMK with my son when the time came, I found out that another friend in my homeschooling group was also doing Oak Meadow. She was past the Kindergarten stage and into 1st and 2nd grades, I believe. I was able to look at some of the work her children were doing, and I continued to be impressed with it and excited about the idea of using it- for both of my homeschooled children.
So after finishing up the last two months of my daughter's third grade year in an eclectic fashion, not using any particular curriculum since the school year was nearly over at the time I pulled her out, I started searching for Oak Meadow used. Like any curriculum, it's not cheap to buy new. I lucked out in a major way when I found someone selling OMK all the way up through OM8 in one big lot. It was an older version of the curriculum, and it was listed at a price that was way too good to pass up.
I actually called Oak Meadow and asked them if there were any significant changes, curriculum wise, from then to now, and there weren't. Nothing major enough to be concerned about, anyway. (This might be a good place to add that Oak Meadow has wonderful customer service, any time you call or email with a question, they are so friendly and helpful. I've heard that from other people, too)!
Anyway, I bought the lot, and I'm so glad I did.
When Fall came around that first year, I was excited to start Oak Meadow 4 with my daughter. I loved it. By fourth grade, Oak Meadow is definitely more on par with what other students of that age would be doing and learning (as opposed to their earliest grades, which are less academic). But with that said, they still manage to make their curriculum interesting and creative. It's not textbookish. There aren't many tests. There aren't worksheets. There isn't an abundance of busywork.
We used the "main lesson book" approach and my daughter kept a daily journal (in colored pencil with illustrations), wrote poems, listened to stories, did writing assignments wherein she was given a handful of creative choices as to which way to go with her reports (maybe one book report would be a storyboard, another might be a letter to a main character, another might be changing the ending to a story and so on). For spelling review, she got to do things like drawing a "small town map" and naming the streets and buildings after spelling words. She made "windsocks" out of paper plates and crepe paper streamers, and wrote the words on the streamers. She wrote her words on the sidewalk with chalk. She made big bubble letters for the first letter of each word and decorated them. Fun, creative things like that in addition to the "write some sentences, put the words in alphabetical order" type stuff.
We did art, we played math games, we did colonial crafts, and more. There were many hands on activities, science and social studies projects that enabled us to get out and do things in a more physical or artistic way, with a lot of discussion and integration- what I'm trying to get at is that it wasn't boring. And I liked that about it. A lot.
Learning does not have to be dull to be effective!
It might be worth adding that toward the end of fourth grade, I ordered the CAT from Seton and had my daughter take a test ("for fun"). It wasn't a required testing year for us, but I was curious to see how she would do after over a year of relaxed/laid back homeschooling, using a curriculum like Oak Meadow that doesn't consist of worksheets and busywork. She scored right where she was supposed to. No worries.
It might also be worth adding that here in PA we must hire an evaluator at the end of each school year to look over our portfolio- well, my evaluator had never encountered anyone using the Oak Meadow curriculum before I came to him with my daughter's Oak Meadow 4 portfolio- and he was perfectly impressed with it. The superintendent at my school district accepted it with no questions or problems.
If you want to know more about what Oak Meadow 4 was like in particular, see the following link for a "Detailed Oak Meadow 4th Grade Schedule Sample." It shows how I took a random weekly lesson from the OM4 syllabus and broke it down into a daily schedule. There are also pictures of some of the activities and schoolwork we did that week, and there will be a link at the end to my very first blog entry for the 4th grade school year.
I continued on to Oak Meadow 5 with my daughter. I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed Oak Meadow 4. It continued to pose interesting questions for discussion and a choice of creative writing assignments. It continued to offer hands on activities, crafts and projects. My daughter especially loved Oak Meadow 5's Environmental Science. She's done some really neat things, such as making a multi-media forest mural, burying items in the yard which she later dug up to examine for changes (if any), starting a simple worm bin, "interviewing" a friend about what they grow in their garden, and more. I'm happy with my choice to use Oak Meadow. My daughter seems happy with my choice. I rave about it to everybody and will continue to do so.
If you want to know more about what Oak Meadow 5 is like in particular, see the following link for a "Detailed Oak Meadow 5th Grade Schedule Sample." It shows how I took the first weekly lesson from the OM5 syllabus and broke it down into a daily schedule. There are also pictures of some of the activities and schoolwork we did that week, and there will be a link at the end to my very first blog entry for the 5th grade school year.
We are now doing Oak Meadow 6. I'm still a fan. Much more reading, writing, research and so on, but it's still creative, not too textbookish, gives the student creative choices and hands on activities and so on.
For more details on Oak Meadow 6, see the following link:
There's also a link at the very bottom of that page to Ben's first day of 1st grade, as we have since moved on to that.
I should probably add that Oak Meadow is a secular curriculum. So those who would prefer NOT to use a religious curriculum, this one's for you (and me)! Those who are religious could still very much enjoy this wonderful curriculum and add in their own religious teachings and studies as they see fit.
P.S. A word about "Main Lesson Books"- Main Lesson Books can be ordered from Oak Meadow's website. However, I have found that buying simple spiral bound "Artist's Sketch Pads" from Walmart works just fine! You can see pictures of them and how we used them under the "Detailed Oak Meadow K Schedule Sample" and "Detailed Oak Meadow 4th Grade Schedule Sample" links- see sidebar to left.

California Supreme Court: State officials not required to defend Prop 8
The state Supreme Court refused to come to the aid of California's embattled ban on same-sex marriage Wednesday, denying a conservative group's request to order Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown to appeal a federal judge's ruling striking down the voter-approved measure.
The state officials' decision not to argue in support of Proposition 8 has raised questions about whether anyone is legally qualified to defend it in court. The Pacific Justice Institute filed suit last week, arguing that the California Constitution requires Brown to defend the state's laws…
It will now be up to a federal appeals court, and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court, to decide whether Prop. 8's sponsors have legal standing – the right to represent the state's interests in defending one of its laws. Attorney Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, said the court order was disappointing.

CLEVELAND — If a nightly symphony of snorers sleeps in your home, chances are they inherited the family's round-shaped head.
Six researchers at Case Western Reserve University have used the shape of a person's head as one indicator of potential problems with sleep apnea, a chronic form of snoring. Round-headed individuals tend to interrupt a good night's sleep with snoring more than long, thin-faced people.
Prior to the study such factors as age, sex, and obesity were used as predictors for chronic snoring, according to Mark Hans, chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the CWRU School of Dentistry.
As an orthodontist, Hans studies face shape and how it can be used in a variety of ways from forensic dentistry to the shape of the head's role in overall good health.
Chronic snoring, also known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), is a medical condition, characterized by the blockage of the air passage at the back of the mouth during sleep. This blockage can cause a person to stop breathing hundreds of times a night from seconds to as long as two minutes and intermittently wake up. Chronic snoring can lead to cardiovascular problems or accidents associated with inattention due to sleep deprivation.
Hans was lead researcher for the study, "Subgrouping Persons with Snoring and/or Apnea by Using Anthropometric and Cephalometric Measures." Sleeping and Breathing, the international journal of the Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, published the article in a recent issue.
In the first phase of the two-part study, researchers examined craniofacial characteristics of 60 known snorers and compared their features with 60 individuals with little history of snoring or a low respiratory disturbance index. -more- CWRU Researchers Find Snoring Associated With Head Shape…add one
The researchers examined 25 different parts of the face and did measurements from the front teeth to the esophagus, the length from the tip of the nose to the rear of the nasal passage, and the distance from the top of the cheek bone to the bottom of the jaw. Coupled with other characteristics of a snorer, these measurements formed the new craniofacial risk index (CRI). They constructed the CRI that included age, body mass index, and 14 cephalometric measures.
In the second part of the study, an investigator, unaware of the individual's snoring history, examined the facial features of 19 heavy snorers and 47 light or non-snorers. Using the new CRI, the researcher tested the hypothesis that head shape could predict sleep apnea problems. Approximately 75 percent of the time, the investigator was able to predict whether the individual was a snorer.
In addition to reducing the cardiovascular problems and accidents snorers suffer, one of the benefits of the study, according to Hans, is that head shape can now be used to find new ways to lower the fortissimo of the nightly music to a soft lullaby.

KATY, Texas — It had to end sometime.
McNeese State's two-year-plus reign over the Southland Conference came to a finish Friday as a well-rested Oral Roberts team simply had more gas in the tank and grabbed a 79-66 win over the Cowgirls in the tournament semifinal.
It was McNeese's first loss in the SLC tournament since 2009, ending an eight-game winning streak, and ORU's first win over the Cowgirls after losing both regular-season meetings.
"Regardless of the rankings this year, we've been saying McNeese is the team to beat from the beginning," said ORU coach Misti Cussen. "We knew it would be a real battle when we had the opportunity to meet them again."
Whether it is the final game in the careers of the Baggett twins storied careers remains to be seen. McNeese (18-14) will find out if it gets an invite to the WNIT or WBI sometime in the next few days.
"They've helped build the program to what it is today. They've set the standard for the future," McNeese coach Brooks Donald Williams said of her seniors. "I hope they'll have another opportunity to keep playing in some form or fashion and add another banner to the ones these two have already helped hang."
The top-seeded Golden Eagles (17-12) received a bye into the semis while McNeese needed two wins in two days to get there. That reflected itself in the form of rust for ORU in the game's first 4 minutes, but developed into better energy as the game went along.
McNeese had a 15-8 lead but saw it slip away by halftime after a nearly 8-minute stretch without a field goal.
"I think it probably helped us that we were a little fresher and they had played two games in two days," Cussen said.
ORU shot 48.3 percent (28 of 58) from the field and 7 of 15 from 3-point range.
Shots that went down for the Cowgirls in wins over Northwestern State and Nicholls State the previous two days had trouble even getting to the rim in the second half. McNeese was 4 of 18 from long range after halftime.
"Second half's harder to hit 3s because you're not as fresh," Ashlyn Baggett said. "So yeah, fatigue had a little bit to do with it. And their pressure made us feel uncomfortable in the first half."
McNeese had all kinds of problems against the Golden Eagles defense, committing 18 turnovers — 12 in the first half — after committing five against ORU on Feb. 28.
"Honestly, I thought they were way more aggressive than they were the first two games in their zone," Donald Williams said. "They did an excellent job causing chaos. We never felt comfortable."
Despite the variety of offensive issues, there was still a sliver of hope that opened when ORU leading scorer Kevi Luper fouled out with 9:54 left after never being subbed out by Cussen.
The Cowgirls sniffed blood in the water, cutting a 10-point deficit to four in the next 50 seconds. But ORU rallied around senior Jaci Bigham and responded with a 10-0 run in the next 4 minutes.
"Once one of their best players fouled out, we felt we'd be able to have an upper hand offensively and defensively," Caitlyn Baggett said. "But all their players stepped up and hit shots. They deserved it."
Part of the problem for McNeese was its inability to make shots and set up a full-court press.
"Obviously to have a successful press you have to hit shots, and we weren't able to finish and set it up as much as we wanted to," Donald Williams said. "We certainly had a momentum shift, but their role players stepped up and hit big shots, and all of the sudden they're back up. That's the kind of team they are. You can't trade baskets with them."
Bigham tied Luper with a team-high 17 points, while Christian Key (13), Savannah Buck (11) and Taylor Cooper (10) were also in double figures.
Caitlyn scored a game-high 20 for the Cowgirls. Cecilia Okoye added 17 points and 12 rebounds, while Ashlyn finished with 16 points.

It felt like the Europa League had moved up a notch in terms of its significance in the North-east yesterday. That could have been down to the bold admission from Alan Pardew that his side is aiming to win it, the arrival of more credible opposition in Bordeaux or the potential problems when Newcastle United head to Club Brugge early next month.
Estimated figures put the travelling support for that game at around 6,000. The end in the Jan Breydel Stadium they will be housed on 8 November holds 1,470, the application for which ended last night. Club officials are frustrated at the situation and would like more tickets to be allocated. That has so far not happened and as of this week Brugge have started selling tickets in an adjacent area to where Newcastle's fans will be for the game. It is a situation to be monitored.
Before then, Pardew has work to do. There is no question that the European bar has finally been raised with the visit tonight of Bordeaux, who defeated Brugge 4-0 in their opening Group D game last month.
Perhaps typically he first had to deny suggestions that Spurs had lined up Yohan Cabaye during the summer to replace Luka Modric, something that had arisen because of comments from the player during a recording by French television station Canal+.
"There was no offer from Spurs so he didn't get that opportunity but of course the likes of Yohan and others will be courted by top sides," said manager Pardew. "That's natural. What is important is the development of players and that they develop here and it is important we give them a platform for success. We are doing our best to do that and this competition is part of that and the only way to keep likes of Yohan, Cheick Tioté and Demba Ba is with success, which we will try to do and we revaluate our goals for next year. I don't need to send a message out. Since we have entered this competition, we have entered it to win it and this is a significant game to up the levels.
"The team has to be good enough to beat Bordeaux but I have Manchester United coming on Sunday and have to make sure the Premier League result is right too and it is difficult to produce a team to play at its maximum in two games. That is what we need to do because we will not beat Bordeaux and Man United if we are not at the maximum."
Either of those tasks has not been made easier by injuries to Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor and Tim Krul, with only the former likely to feature in either game, and that would be on Sunday.
Probable teams
Newcastle United (4-3-1-2) Elliott; Simpson, Perch, Williamson, Santon; Ben Arfa, Anita, Cabaye; Obertan; Cissé, Shola Ameobi.
Bordeaux (5-1-2-2) Carrasso; Mariano, Marange, Planus, Henrique, Tremoulinas; Sane; Obraniak, Saivet; Jussie, Diabete.
Referee A M Lahoz (Sp).

People always think my hair and my daughters hair is dead! And it's not, we just have dry frizzy hair. I got this in the mystery pack and WOW!! My daughter nor I have EVER had hair this soft, shiny & not tangled. Normally after my daughter has been in the pool it's hard and fully of knots but not anymore. This is underpriced! I would be charging top dollar for whatever miracle is in this bottle!5
When I first used this, I was a little put off by the smell - it's super sweet and almost cloying, like bubble gum candy. Luckily, however, the scent doesn't really stay in your hair once you wash it out, and it leaves your hair SO amazingly soft and touchable! Totally worth it!5
Birchbox sent me a sample with my purchse and I am not usually one to review something unless I absolutely LOVE it or HATE it, sadly, in this case...I HATED this. It smells like bubblegum when you first open it, which i thought was interesting. Then the smell changed to something....weird. THEN when I got out of the shower it literally smelled like something died in my house. It was so hard to get the smell out and it was just AWFUL...on top of that, it didn't even make my hair feel that great...and I've got great, healthy hair to begin with. Don't waste your money on this one!1
I have wavy, curly, and thick hair and this product did an amazing job with keeping my hair bouncy, curly, shiny, and smooth. However, the smell is just awful and overpowering....I don't understand why anyone would want their hair to smell like this. I probably won't buy the product.3

'Through the appropriately "modern" concepts of survey, site and identity, Gilbert, Matless and Short offer us an enticing set of precise vignettes, framing a geographical interpretation of British modernity. This book sketches an agenda for what will be an enduring preoccupation among historical geographers in "millennial" Britain.' Denis Cosgrove, University of California, Los Angeles
"This landmark volume stands as the first work of historical geography to cover the whole span of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of broad patterns of change and the close scrutiny of particular spaces the contributors draw out the contours of British modernity since 1900 and demonstrate the vitality of contemporary historical geography." Miles Ogborn, Queen Mary College, University of London

I have a Patagonia Merino 2 short sleeve shirt. I want to reduce the sleeve length by 1 to 1.5 inches. Any suggestions for how to do this? I have a decent sewing machine but I have only sewed a couple of stuff sacks.
I assume I could cut off the hemmed sleeve by about an inch, but then what? Do I fold the edge of the sleeve back half an inch and then sew it? What stitch should I use?
@grampaLocale: SoCal
Mark the end you want for the sleeve – mark it all the way around. Make a second line at least one inch beyond the first. Fold or roll the excess under (inside the sleeve) and pin it. The sleeve end marked line should now be at the end of the sleeve. You can finish it by hand wit a whip stitch, or by machine with a straight stitch. Especially with the second option, try to keep the stitching line near the inside edge of the hem.
I have now showed you the, *ahem* , Hemming Way! (Groan!)
I would do a simple rolled hem so there is no exposed cut surface – see http://www.backwoodsdaydreamer.com/diy-guides/sewing-skills/
@skyaddictLocale: Steiermark
Most modern zigzag sewing machines have special stretchy sitches for hemming wool and other stretch jersey materials. If you have a manual it should have a few suggestions. I recently converted a merino long sleeve into a tshirt and the fancy stitch worked great. My Bernina manual recommends a basic zigzag for jersey material, but there are many other stitches that will do a fine job. That being said, a straight stitch is fine as well.

Adiabatic compression testing - part I : historical development and evaluation of fluid dynamic processes including shock-wave considerations
Newton, Barry & Steinberg, Theodore (2009) Adiabatic compression testing - part I : historical development and evaluation of fluid dynamic processes including shock-wave considerations. Journal of ASTM International, 6(8), pp. 1-18.
|Submitted Version (PDF 423kB)
Adiabatic compression testing of components in gaseous oxygen is a test method that is utilized worldwide and is commonly required to qualify a component for ignition tolerance under its intended service. This testing is required by many industry standards organizations and government agencies. This paper traces the background of adiabatic compression testing in the oxygen community and discusses the thermodynamic and fluid dynamic processes that occur during rapid pressure surges. This paper is the first of several papers by the authors on the subject of adiabatic compression testing and is presented as a non-comprehensive background and introduction.

James and Leonie enjoy a mug of Gluhwein at Lower Loxley's German market. He's grateful that she dragged him out but wonders if they should have invited Lilian. He thinks she's looking quite stressed by work lately.
Elizabeth shows Roy the dairy plans. Roy agrees it's going to look amazing. Roy has more good news. Shires Brewery wants to sponsor Cranford Crystal and the rare breeds if they re-name it the Shires Rare Breeds Unit. Elizabeth's pleased to be making progress. The next step is Thursday's meeting with the bank's commercial relations manager.
Over supper, Leonie gets everyone to move their seats to give James more leg room. Robert and Lynda learn that today's trip to Lower Loxley was Leonie's idea. They realise Robert's concern that James would try to take control of Leonie's life again was unfounded. Lynda's impressed with Leonie's suggestion for the Elizabethan food: baked potatoes, the latest exotic vegetable from the New World.
Back at the Dower House, James finds a bottle of cognac from Matt. James thinks it's strange that Matt's started being so nice to him. Leonie assures him that it's just taken Matt a while to see what a great and wonderful person he is.

Pollack, James tough to block
Derrick Johnson and Erasmus James highlight Scouts Inc.'s list of the nation's elite players defensive players.
Originally Published: November 5, 2004By Todd McShay | Scouts, Inc.
The BCS standings and Heisman Trophy race tend to occupy most of the attention this time of year. Lost in the shuffle are the defensive standouts who, in some cases, play an even bigger role than the offensive stars when it comes to the success of their respective teams.
Sure, the Bronko Nagurski, Lombardi and Butkus awards recognize college football's elite defensive players. But even the award winners rarely get the props they deserve.
With just over a month remaining in the 2004 college football regular season, the cream of the crop has had ample time to rise to the top. It is a good a time to take a look at the 10 biggest impact defensive players in the nation.

By Tim Greaves
As British noir crime dramas of the Fifties go, The House Across the Lake (1954) is probably as good an example as you could hope to dip into. The tale unfolds in flashback, related by our main protagonist to another character (precisely who is not revealed until the final reel), is embroidered with expositional narration and, though clichéd and not in the least unpredictable, delivers atmosphere by the barrel.
The film is an early entry on the CV of writer-director Ken Hughes (the arguable highpoints of whose career, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Cromwell, remain perennial favourites, whilst his latter-day offerings, Night School and Sextette, are best brushed under the proverbial carpet). Hughes scripted The House Across the Lake from his own source novel, "High Wray", and also commandeered the director's chair. Nowadays understandably marketed as a Hammer film, it's actually the fruit of the company's earlier incarnation Exclusive Films. »

This dual-sided product includes a daytime moisturizer and nighttime moisturizer, each dispensed via a pump applicator. This duo is said to refine facial contours for "uplifting days" and "volumizing nights" so essentially the message is you get a face-lift and dermal filler-like treatment packaged in one convenient product (all for the low price of $75, what a deal!). Let's get real here: other than making skin feel smoother and softer, this duo cannot lift sagging skin or add volume to areas that have lost their youthful fullness. None of this is a sensible replacement for cosmetic surgery or corrective procedures. Full of Promise is more full of itself than anything else!
The Morning Treatment Cream isn't ideal for daytime use because it doesn't provide sun protection—and sun damage is a major contributor to sagging. This product will make your face feel tighter due to the amount of film-forming agent it contains. The formula contains several antioxidants as well as some cell-communicating ingredients, but none of these are capable of lifting skin or refining facial contours. They can stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin but stimulating collagen doesn't address the multiple factors that lead to sagging and a loss of youthful contours.
The Night Treatment Cream is silicone-based and has a smooth, almost spackle-like texture that temporarily reduces the appearance of wrinkles, just like numerous other products, usually labeled as serums. Night Treatment Cream contains antioxidant vitamin C (as tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) along with other antioxidants and a peptide. Also on board is the ingredient hydroxypinacolone retinoate, which is an alternative to retinoids (like retinol) that the company maintains can be irritating for some people. The only information pertaining to the efficacy of hydroxypinacolone retinoate comes from Grant Industries, the company that sells this ingredient to cosmetics brands. Their sole study on the effectiveness and claims for this retinoid involved five people, which is not nearly a large enough sample to declare that this retinoid is the one to beat (Source: http://grantinc.com/cosmetics/active_series/granactive_rd-101.php). It's a leap of faith that the retinoid in Night Treatment Cream is going to work as claimed—and no solid evidence proving this is a great alternative for those who cannot tolerate "regular" retinol.
Despite our issues with the lifting and Volumizing claims, this remains a well formulated duo whose fragrance-free formulas are suitable for all skin types. It's overpriced, but we've seen far inferior anti-aging formulas that cost as much (or more). As long as you don't buy this expecting fuller, lifted results, you'll find it to be one more viable anti-aging product to consider (but don't forget to apply sunscreen).
NOTE: philosophy categories this dual-sided product as a serum but the Morning Treatment Cream's formula and texture more closely resemble a moisturizer. The Night Treatment Cream has more of a serum-like texture.

Weaknesses: Irritating and/or drying cleansers; average to problematic scrubs; at-home peel kits far more gimmicky than helpful; several products contain lavender oil; several products include irritating essential oils; the majority of makeup items do not rise above average status.
Believe in miracles. That's the "lifestyle" branding statement philosophy makes, which is an approach that is decidedly different from their former positioning, which encompassed family values and spirituality along with a dash of department-store élan and endearingly clever quips. The miracle angle may grab your attention, but the company is also quick to point out that its history is steeped in providing products to dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide (so, in addition to miracles, philosophy has a serious side, too). Although its heritage may have included providing clinically oriented products to doctors, we have yet to see or hear of any medical professional retailing philosophy products. And that's a good thing because, by and large, most of philosophy products are resounding disappointments. Moreover, several products, including almost all of their sunscreens, contain one or more known skin irritants. We would be extremely suspicious of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who recommended such products to their patients, and even more so if they actually believed some of the more farfetched claims philosophy makes.
Interestingly, when you shop this line at department stores or at the cosmetics boutique Sephora, what you'll notice is the preponderance of food- and drink-scented bath products, all in vivid colors or cutely boxed for gift-giving. It seems that somewhere along the way, the company decided to promote these nose-appeal products while downplaying their more serious-minded, simply packaged skin care. Perhaps the body lotions and bubble baths have become philosophy's bread and butter. Given the hit-or-miss nature of their facial-care products, that's not surprising. Then again, they've also heavily promoted their anti-aging-themed Miracle Worker products...
So what's to like if you're into the vibe philosophy puts out? Well, this is still a line with some well-formulated staples, including an AHA product, some retinol options, and a handful of state-of-the-art moisturizers. The products that get the most promotion at the counter are the ones you should avoid, such as the at-home peels, scrubs, pads, and anti-acne products. However, the somewhat confusing, conflicting image philosophy presents shouldn't keep you from considering their best products—but it's not a lifestyle brand in the sense that using the entire line will somehow bring you a more joyful existence, or significantly improved skin. The philosophy line is now owned Coty, a cosmetics brand primarily known for their fragrances. Their acquisition of philosophy is their first major foray into a widely-distributed skin care brand.

Hollywood Rejecting Lip Injections! Look At These Gorgeous Thin Lipped Beauties!
Which Hollywood divas have decided not to plump their pout? More than you think!
In a world where everyone seems to be sticking a needle into their lips for more plump kissers, some actresses have decided that thin is in, as in their own natural lip size! Which Hollywood divas look gorgeous with their own natural pouts? Check out the gallery of these gorgeous beauties with their normal lips!
I mean, Reese Witherspoon looks amazing with her normal lip size and there are so many ladies who are working what they were born with. I'm not knocking injectables but ladies, there is something so powerful and beautiful about enhancing your own natural beauty.
Kristin's Beauty Tip! If you want to enhance the size of our pout, here are my best, sure-fire ways to make your lips look more full:
- Stay away from matte lipsticks that announce the size of your lips. Nudes and more natural pinks will make your lips look fuller.
- Lipgloss is your best friend! A good shiny nude, clear or pink gloss will enhance the shape of your lips. You can also place a clear gloss over your favorite lipstick for a lip-enhancing effect.
- Plumping glosses can also help quite a bit and they're available at all prices ranges. Give them a try!
Which natural-lipped beauty do you think rocks her pretty pout the best? Vote now!

Power coop urged to provide Tacloban with street lights-A A +A
Saturday, February 15, 2014
THE Tacloban City Government is appealing to the Leyte 2 Electric Cooperative (Leyeco 2) to install street lights in the city even if the local government is yet to pay its due.
Lawyer Irene Chiu, executive assistant of Mayor Alfred Romualdez, admitted that the City Government has not paid its bill to Leyeco 2 since Typhoon Yolanda.
It was learned that the local government unit (LGU) owed the electric cooperative some P14 million.
Chiu said that currently, the local government is cash-strapped. With the lack of funds, they are constraint to prioritize basic services.
However, they are hoping that the National Government will soon download money intended for rehabilitation even as they also asked for fund augmentation from it.
The lawyers added it is the responsibility of the City Government to provide for the street lights. Majority of the street lights, she said, were also damaged by Yolanda.
As she asked for the understanding of the electric provider, she also hoped that Leyeco 2 will do something to restore the street lights.
At present, only street lights along the national highway and portion of the downtown area have been restored. (PNA)

A few lucky travelers had the chance to feast their eyes on some serious eye candy in the Dubai airport over the weekend (no need for duty-free chocolate for them!). One of the hottest men on planet earth made an appearance at his Middle Eastern layover location en route back to London. With body guards all around, it was difficult for his fans to get a solo shot with the stud, but they managed to get a delectable look-see, despite.
After taking a break from filming "Fury" in London, Brad Pitt had spent the holidays with the whole Brangelina clan in Australia. On his return, he was spotted in the Dubai airport, accompanied by his son Maddox.
Social media fans were in a flurry of excitment at the celeb spotting, even posting about family members who managed to catch him out of the corner of their eye.
"MY UNCLE FLEW BRAD PITT FROM AUSTRALIA TO DUBAI YESTERDAY AND MY COUSIN SAT NEXT TO HIM FROM HEATHROW TO DUBAI OH MY," Tweeted lilith
The "World War Z" star recently celebrated his 50th birthday, but his talent and good looks maintain him a fan base as young as his children and as far reaching as the Middle East, especially after all his fiance Angelina Jolie has done to support the region's refugees.

Christopher Wool - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Hours: Closed Thurs.
Ages: All
1071 Fifth Ave. - 212-423-3500
New York, NY 10128
Description: At the heart of Christopher Wool's creative project, which spans three decades of rigorous and highly focused practice, is the question of how a picture can be conceived, realized, and experienced today. Engaging the complexities of painting as a medium, as well as the anxious rhythms of the urban environment and a wide range of cultural references, his agile, largely monochrome works propose an open-ended series of responses to this central problem. This retrospective will fill the museum's Frank Lloyd Wright-designed rotunda and an adjacent gallery with a rich selection of paintings, photographs, and works on paper, forming the most comprehensive examination to date of Wool's influential career. The exhibition is organized by Katherine Brinson, Associate Curator, and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. This exhibition is supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

curses is a UNIX library of functions for controlling a terminal's display screen from a C program. It can be used to provide a screen driver for a program (such as a visual editor) or to improve a program's user interface.This handbook will help you make use of the curses library in your C programs. We have presented ample material on curses and its implementation in UNIX so that you understand the whole, as well as its parts.Note: This handbook covers Ken Arnold's original Berkeley implementation of curses, not the System V version.Topics covered include:
John Strang now finds himself "a consumer--rather than a producer of Nutshells." He is currently a diagnostic radiologist (MD) at Stanford University. He is married to a pediatrician, Susie, and they have two children, Katie and Alex. John enjoys hiking, bicycling, and dabbling in other sciences. He plans to use his experience as an author at ORA to write his own book on radiology.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of Programming with curses is a babirusa or Celebes pig deer. This wild pig inhabits the jungles and woodlands of Celebes and neighboring islands in the Malay Archipelago. 27 inches in height, the babirusa has wrinkled grey skin which falls in folds over its head, shoulders and neck. It has practically no hair, and its legs are unusually long for a pig.The babirusa is easily identified by its tusks; upper canines which grow throughout its lifetime, frequently reaching lengths of 17 inches. These tusks curl upward and backward, sometimes reaching the forehead. Though distinctive, these tusks appear to have no use. Indeed, they may be a hindrance, for, though the babirusa feeds on shellfish, herbs and grasses, it does not root about in the soil for food like most pigs. UNIX and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks(R) help you tame them....Edie Freedman designed this cover and the entire bestiary that appears on other Nutshell Handbooks.

Programming with curses Review
By Shawn Boyette
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Programming with curses:
Not only is this book an amazingly slender volume, containing 25 fewer pages than the XML Pocket Reference, but it's two decades out of date, covering the original Berkeley curses, meaning no info on color or mouse support or any of the other interesting and useful functionalities provided by ncurses, which has been the de facto curses standard since about 1993 and already existed as pcurses at the time of this book's writing. There is also, of course, no help to be found for people wanting to use curses via the Perl interface, since Perl didn't exist (in a released form) yet. In short: you're better off staring at the man pages until osmosis kicks in.

USWAG-AGA Comments on EPA Draft Guidance for Sampling Non-Liquid PCBs (March 29, 2013)
AGA joined in comments filed by the Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG) on EPA s Draft Guidance describing how ship owners and operators should sample PCBs in non-liquids such as paint, caulk and plastics. While gas and electric utilities usually do not own or operate ships, the guidance could have much broader implications. Notably, this appears to be the first time EPA has developed guidance on how to sample non-liquid PCBs, which can appear in a wide range of industrial and commercial products used in buildings and equipment manufactured before 1979, when the manufacture of PCB products was banned pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The USWAG-AGA comments note that the guidance conflicts in many respects with EPA s existing PCB regulations, and that the guidance should be revised to be consistent with the regulations. In particular, EPA should eliminate any suggestion that a ship owner or operator must assume the presence of PCB contamination other than in an export for disposal context. In addition, EPA should clearly state that there is no such assumption in the domestic disposal context.

Shuttle Atlantis Arrives at Visitor Complex
Published April 26th, 2013

Space Shuttle Atlantis enters its next stage, becoming an exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Crews are expected to finish unwrapping the orbiter on Friday.
It takes two days to remove the 16,000 square feed of plastic shrink wrap surrounding Shuttle Atlantis.
The wrap has protected Atlantis for its move from Kennedy Space Center to the visitor complex.
The 90,000 square foot attraction has been under construction for 15 months.
It's set to open at the end of June.

TORONTO — It was the Scott Dixon show for a second day in a row at the Honda Indy Toronto.
Dixon led all but four laps and cruised to win Race 2 from pole position on Sunday, earning back-to-back victories in the doubleheader event around the 1.755-mile street course at Exhibition Place.
It was the third consecutive victory for Dixon and the 32nd of his career, moving the 32-year-old New Zealand driver into sole possession of seventh place on the all-time IndyCar wins list.
Dixon entered the weekend in 10th place sitting one win behind Sebastien Bourdais, Dario Franchitti and Canadian Paul Tracy who are all tied with 31 wins. The only drivers above him now carry legendary names — Foyt, Andretti and Unser — and Dixon said years ago he never thought he would be in this position.
"I just try to concentrate on a day-by-day basis and a week-by-week," Dixon said. "I'm very fortunate to have 31 of those wins with this team, 12 years with this team. It's been a great team."
The two Toronto wins were also the first of his career in T.O., something the two-time IndyCar Series champion said he's proud to finally add to his long list of accomplishments.
"Toronto has always been a place that I've wanted to win at and we've eluded it many times," Dixon said. "I love this place. The town is a lot of fun. The fans are knowledgeable and love what we do. It's great to see their excitement they've had here all weekend."
Dixon saw two sizeable leads during the race disappear due to caution periods that bunched up the field in the final stages. But Will Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay collided with two laps remaining and ensured the Target Chip Ganassi Racing driver would cross the finish line ahead of Helio Castroneves. Sebastien Bourdais finished third for his second straight podium finish followed by Dario Franchitti and E.J. Viso.
Dixon also earned a $100,000 bonus for sweeping the doubleheader. He now sits second in the championship standings and only 29 points behind points leader Castroneves.
"It's been a hell of a swing in a seven-day period," Dixon said about his three-win streak. "We were seventh or eighth and 92 points out … so it's nice to put a little pressure on Helio and hope we can keep that going."
The IZOD IndyCar Series now heads to the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, a track Dixon has won four times in six races. He said it would be nice to extend his current winning streak to four.
"It's been a good place for us," Dixon said. "We've won there four times so I'm hoping to gain good points there but typically Penske has been strong there as well. We'll go there and do our best."

Polyphony Digital knows many of you in the U.S. will be out shopping this Thanksgiving weekend (though they'd likely prefer you passed on those $28 copies of Forza Motorsport 4), so this week's Seasonal Events take place within GT5's B-Spec mode.
Note the game's Online Car Dealership has not been updated with these events. Thanks to jables72 for the quick tip!
GT5 Photomode image by Loading.
Comments are now closed. Visit our forums for more discussion.
Just my two cents by I think b-spec is great, I love having someone else earn money for me when I am doing something else so I can buy all the cars that I want later, I've being playing GT since a friend let me play a J-spec copy of GT1 on his playstation back in the day, the very next day I went out and bought me my first game console and since then waited for every new version like most of you have so I think I everyone here who did play all the version can remember each time you got a new game you would have to buy a cheap car and do the same track over and over just so you can get a little bit more money to buy another car or up grades, but who here really LIKE to drive a Demio 40 times on the high speed ring going all of 100mph? wouldn't you want some other fool to do that for you? and no the whole "paying your dues" thing doesn't fly because its the same track and cars from the last 2/3 version, just a lot better looking each time, so I think b-spec is great, free cars are great, I've played other games like NFS and I foolishly brought all the add-on with real money hoping it will be better but they still suck, PD is giving us a lot of free stuff: free cars, updates, etc….and Sony doesn't charge to be on-line like Xbox, (yes I have that too). so I don;t understand why some people are upset, if you hate it so much, play something else, otherwise, let's race!
Sometimes b-spec gets boring but I'll tell ya what, the seasonal event @ 246 had me on the edge of my seat! Really had to push my driver to make a last lap, last turn pass for the win. It was good enough that I saved the replay. The pay-out is well worth it so people need to quit complaining! I bet if you had to use your b-spec drivers during the a-spec endurances then people may not complain so much. That's my hope for a future update. Think about it; what 24 hour race allows only one driver to complete it? Endurance racing means multi-driver teams. At least 2-3 b-spec drivers should be able to race for you part of the way when you get worn out. Then again, may be I'm not dedicated enough and, therefore, can be considered a complainer…
Or you can just meet some friends and do the 'Ring together
Who cares about Forza…GT5 FTW!!!
Why was there only 3 events added?
Struggling to find the right cars for these seasonals. Anyone got a tip? Gotta grind for the bucks, man.
Mclaren BMW for the 650
Polyphony must be lazy no special cars or races not even a suit with a birthday cake WTF!? maybe Forza is worth buying.
Then you better make like a rabbit and race for it, those buyers aren't gonna go easy so "hop to it". And no worries, I'm sure theres a reason Kaz and PD putting the B-spec seasonal up. There might be something really good coming next month, so lets stay seated and buckel up are seat belts, that DLC is gonna blow us all away when it appears. ;) Just saying.
Gotta throw my vote in here …. as an avid gamer/racer I find no entertainment in B-Spec other than the novelty of trying it for 5 minutes. I know the game means different things to different people but for me I just like to race. When I watch an actual race on TV it just makes me want to race (and I usually do). Why on earth would I want to watch a B-Spec race when I could be racing myself ?
For the record, I also see no point in dressing up my "avatar" ….. my little sister thinks it's cool but then again, she's a 7 year old little girl :-) Personally, I just wish PD would spend their time rendering tracks and premium cars and improving tire modelling and physics. We just want to race :-)
B-Spec is a massive waste of time and should never have been included in a racing game!!!! Let ME race!!!
I'm in Kanada, thanksgiving was last month here.
You live in "Kanada" but dont know how to spell "Canada"
I think b-spec appeals to the 10% of the community but the 90% get the majority of the seasonals, so I suppose it's fair. But in my opinion another bizarre decision by polyphony digital, I do wonder what goes on in their heads sometimes
B Spec, serves a purpose. I don't like it much, but hey, easy money for when you want to do things around the house and don't has time to sit and 'play' the game. :)
we need more a spec races more often. bring on spa and nurbergring thats what the are there for
im just glad to see 6 races to where i can get more money
B spec in GT5 is POINTLESS, why cant eveyone see this
Some people like it. Why can't people see this?
Don't be getting angry when it's also a thanksgiving gift, appreciate of what you're being given. Why can't everyone see this "especially".
screw B-Spec, MORE A-Spec!
Ive been whoring the 600k all afternoon, now Im only getting 300k (no 200%)? Ive logged out and back in again and still no luck. Darn!
Hell Yea………..time to make some cash………..maybe can hit 20 million for the first time?
Some people are never satisfied. Smh
True story bro!
We got Spec 2 and the beginning of DLC within a month of the release date, I'm guessing that was our 1 year.
2 things:
1) this bspec race will help me win some money while i destroy the turkes which is being slowly cooked as i write this in the depths of my mom's oven…..
2) for something more "special" than this bspec seasonal, something tell's me this christmas is gonna be something else in GT5, i'll wait a little longer.
I'll sure follow you on that one too. :D
agreed, TokoTurismo….
Meh, not a fan of B-spec but something is better than nothing at all.
I'm going to for surely agree with you on that one. :) It's better to have something, then nothing. ;) I'll stick with that one.
I'm with stupits.
Nice to see they are open to adding more events to a previous seasonal category. :)
Would like to see more Lambo and Ferrari events.
So they finally give us a Seasonal withOUT Tsukuba… and it's B-SPEC?!
I don't understand b-spec. I'm to stupid for that.
I'm with you on that. I must be stupid too.
I tend to enjoy ~playing~ the games, rather than watching it play on its own.
It's for after you master A-spec or want to learn a little about the AI system and cars. Or if you just like B-Spec. No one is forcing you to do anything except complain I guess.
Thank you Jordan , for choosing my photo. thanks!
Eh, oh well. I expected something bigger for GT5's anniversary but whatever. Besides, I can really use Bob now to scrape up some money for myself (after I got the Penniless trophy over buying that 5,000,000 cr Lancia rally car). :)
And I think I might go ahead and pick up Forza 4 for that kind of discount, I heard it was a great game too :) Why not?
B-Spec, the forgotten chapter of GT5, and for good reason, do we really need to see more B-Spec, enough already, we still haven't seen a race with the New DLC, How fun would a 5 lap race at Spa be after your turkey later today….
Look forward to doing these when I get home from work tonight!
I think à b-spec race with low pp cars of the exact same sort would be a realy good test for the cotching skills
I love B-spec racing but not as much as A-spec imo. If only the GT classic tracks were GT5, they would have made GT5's anniversary alot exciting to be honest. And that makes me sad. :( But that won't stop me from watching my famous drivers J.Tyler and F.Wolf enjoying the race while I'm using my laptop. :)
Time for Bob and Co to earn their pay again. Wish there was some A-Spec seasonal events for the 1 year anniversary though.
B-spec hmmm not sure what to think of that….
nice to have…. complainers ar not forced to drive this…and it's free!…
but of course I am kind of fed up with this and looking for a new DLC!!! Please at least one new track and maybe more "licenses" for example…
Freakin' B-SPEC?! "I" want to race, not watch!!! PD is so detached from their customers…jeez
Then don't do the b-spec seasonals. Simple.
what they had gt4 was perfect. A and B spec at the same time.
You don't speak for all of us , pd isn't detached from me or anyone I know , freakin jeez lol you suck
turbo prop just blew up
Endless whining….. They have you so hooked that your crying about lack of a "NEW" thing to do in A-Spec. I'd say they have you right where they want you. Get over it and realize that GT5 is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. If your going to whine. Pick something broke and tee off about that. This just sounds tired. People bemoaning free content or gifts…..jeez
Fanboys come out of the wordwork when you cross PD or KY…
Hey tofudrifter, your two dads suck…
Utter waste of time. B spec. Meh !
well… that 10 laps of indy is the new grinding event, 600,000 with the 200% bonus! and my perfectly tuned Ferrari P4 seems to win every time without me doing anything :)
Why won't they use Spa or even the Space Kart track in seasonal events? I know that not everyone purchased them but it would be nice if purchasers of DLC were rewarded a little!
The reason being that not all of the users have the track and it would be unfair to those that were not able to buy it.
I have the same question. It being unfair to those who didn't buy it is not a valid option in my view because not using those tracks in seasonals is definately unfair to those that DID put down the money.
Agreed. Why worry about people not supporting the franchise. Still looking for something cool to do with my DLC. Right now I am just waiting on the Holiday unlock so my son can have it and we can race the cars.
Yayyyy bspec
I've been checking multiple times a day for news on the dlc, everytime I see a new topic I get excited. Wish they'd announce it already haha
im the same
the same too…. but disapointed
I want Road Atlanta & moar Ferrrari's!
So I can either pay 30 dollars now for the standard Forza 4 and then drop 30 dollars on the most of the DLC, or wait 11 months for the immanent Forza 4 ultimate at 30 dollars with nearly all the DLC on disk.
On second thought, they really haven't added anything I'd want in 4 over 3, so Forza 3 stays in the Xbox and I'll keep chewing on that 650PP B spec seasonal in GT5.
I can get to the back of the Mclaren, my poor little bob just doesn't have enough to actually pass it though.
Mmm.. not funny..
I'm down.. Something to do while being FAT with ttttturkkkey!
To bad spa isn't one!!!
@ Fet…
It wasn't an attempt at humor, troll!
Time to dust off Bob again. Good deal.
LOL! Those aren't bad payouts. Where do "Bob's" go when not in use, and what do they do?
Bobs are chilling at their house in Monaco
Moar B-Spec!!!!! Good or bad? I don't know!
Oh no !!!!!! Nothing serious for 1 year or gt5?
yeah :(
I wish they gave us something more "special" for this games 1 year anniversary… guess I'm asking for too much
Is forza 4 only $30?
This really is sad… I thougt they would come up with something big for anniversary. I love this game but 3 B Spec Races only? Really?!?
Mint I need to break in a calsonic anyway!
@ J0SH1 – GET IT! a much better presented racing game than GT5, i got it a week ago and am loving it, just shows up how much GT5 is lacking.

Video: Audi RS 3 vs. BMW M3 GTS at the Nurburgring
by George Achorn on 12 October 2012 in Video
There's a good discussion going on in our A3 discussion forum that touches on intel about the upcoming next-gen RS 3. Talk of the new car naturally turned to the prominence of the current RS 3 and then xgarage posted a link to a video on YouTube described simply as 'RS3 VS M3 GTR' (actually GTS… hat tip to Syed Hoda). Of course we all clicked on it… and mother of God!
The clip is posted by YouTube user quattros3driver and he lists modifications as Abt ECU (410 cv) and lowering springs from H&R. Otherwise the car is apparently bone stock.
Essentially the video (below) is an in-car mounted GoPro or the like, mounted between the seats in an RS 3. It begins as he is headed out of the pits and seems to be in none too much of a hurry. If you're anything like us then it's about here that you start dissecting the cockpit. He's wearing shorts and there are some white Oakleys in the center console that will assuredly distractingly rattle around out on track. There's a large Nurburgring track map on his helmet and you can see a second RS 3 logo decal in the rearview mirror. Did I mention he's wearing shorts?
He lets a TT pass, then a Cayman and you start to wonder if this isn't more poser than pole sitter. Then he waves another car by.
Enter the M3 GTS. It's orange and you can't miss it. It's also no track slouch and you get the feeling he thinks he's reeling in a big fish by letting him by. Our driver engages, and impressively sticks with the M3 for a while. He's not reeling him in quickly at this point, simply not letting him get away exactly. Then the M3 slips past another Cayman that blocks the RS 3s way. You think its over maybe… but there's a lot of video left.
Thus far I suspect I haven't told too much for the spoiler alert police. Will he catch up to the BMW? Will he drive that car like he can barely make the payment, or perhaps like he boosted it the night before in Berlin? I suspect you already know the answer, but watch anyway.
