Memorial donations may be made to Bear River Young Life in care of Grant Mortuary.
Friends may call at Grant Mortuary from 2 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 18, 2012.
Jason Kawcak, a 25-year-old Craig resident and Colowyo Coal Company employee, died Saturday in a vehicle crash on Colowyo Mine property in Moffat County.
The crash occurred about 6 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release from Colowyo Coal Company, Western Fuels-Colorado, and Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association, Inc.
Lt. KC Hume, of the Moffat County Sheriff's Office, said Craig Fire/Rescue firefighters, an ambulance crew from The Memorial Hospital in Craig, and sheriff's deputies responded to the scene.
While emergency resources were en route to the site of the crash, they encountered an ambulance crew from Colowyo transporting Kawcak to Craig.
Kawcak was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Sheriff's Office deputies conducted a preliminary investigation of the accident, Hume said. That investigation has been turned over to Colowyo personnel and investigators with the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Ken Anderson, general manager of Western Fuels-Colorado, which owns Colowyo Mine, issued a statement in the news release.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and co-workers affected by this tragedy," Anderson said. "The safety of our people and operations are our highest priority. We are working closely with public safety authorities to investigate the accident."
All operations at Colowyo Mine have ceased for the time being, according to the release.

The newlyweds looked a picture of happiness as they mingled with guests and family members - including Prince Harry and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Zara and England Rugby star Mike did not hold back expressing their clear affection for each other, posing for one last kiss in front of well-wishers following their wedding rehearsal at Edinburgh's Canonbury Kirk yesterday.

Recently I wrote about Law & Order's not-so-subtle agenda on the immigration issue. Now cometh ABC's Boston Legal, a show known for both entertaining and pushing the envelope. Let's start with a portion of the show synopsis on the ABC website:
While [Crane, Poole & Schmidt law firm lawyer] Denise Bauer shops with her housekeeper and the woman's four-year-old son, the unthinkable happens when the boy is kidnapped by a known pedophile. An FBI special agent tells them that technicalities prevent the Bureau from getting involved, but he strongly suggests that, as private citizens, [law firm lawyers] Denise and Brad Chase conduct their own investigation. Their frantic search eventually takes them to Father Ryan, a priest who refuses to help since he can't break his confessional seal.
After this, things get pretty crazy. The firm lawyers present a phony warrant, which they are not authorized to administer even if it was valid. When the priest locks his office door in defiance of the warrant and to protect the confessional seal, Denise "breaks the glass" and convinces Brad to threaten to break down the exceedingly expensive Italian office door with a fire axe. Brad accidentally chops off three of the priest's fingers in the process.
But this shocking incident does not stop the firm's lawyers. At the behest of the FBI agent, the two lawyers take one of the priest's fingers to his hospital room and (a) notify him that they found fake documents implicating the priest in criminal fraud-- a corrupt priest is almost a cliche in movies/television now, and (b) subtly suggest that if the priest doesn't provide some information protected by the confessional seal, his finger might disappear. Naturally, the priest breaks down and provides information that leads to the discovery of the abducted child and the arrest of the perpetrator.
The subtle message here is that Catholic priests stand in the way of "justice" and that they are probably invoking privileges to prevent the discovery of their own illegal ways. This is pretty nasty propaganda.
It is also a bit of fascist propaganda as well. The synopsis's statement "technicalities prevent the Bureau from getting involved" refers to the fact that the FBI doesn't want to arrest the pedophile's brother and browbeat information about his brother out of him. So the FBI carefully directs private citizens to do what the FBI does not want to do due to "legal technicalities." The ends justify the means.
On unrelated matters, towards the end of the episode, the "conservative" firm lawyer Denny Crane goes on Larry King Live to explicitly condemn poor people. And Alan Shore strongly suggests that the people of New Orleans were ignored by the federal government during the Katrina disaster... because they were poor.

Jamie and Todd Reichman established their business in November of 2005, after a few months of part-time work they opened their commercial location in Dunlap, IL and went full-time with their business. Within their first year they achieved top-performing studio numbers according to PPA's benchmark survey. In 2008 they were featured by PPA in the SMS Financial Success Stories webinar for their continued growth and increased revenue in 2007 while reducing hours worked and completing the transformation from a generalist photography studio to a fully-specialized wedding boutique. They have photographed weddings nationwide and overseas and in 2011 they relocated their wedding business to Atlanta, GA and were platform speakers at PPA's Imaging USA national convention. They launched …a Man to Fish.. and the SEXY BUSINESS Workshop in 2011 and will be presenting at Mystic Seminars 2013.
We have booked great work and screwed up can't-lose deals. We've shot at Ritz Carlton's here and overseas, booked weddings in Europe and shot honeymoons in South America. We've also photographed in the nastiest Knight of Columbus halls, and caught something questionable in the shady hotels shooting "glamorous" destination weddings in one-horse towns where the nicest restaurant was the Subway jammed into the only gas station. We've made big bucks and we've also made less than the cake-maker. We built a very successful business, got crazy burnt out, ran away from our problems, moved across the country and built a whole new business. We've had ups and downs and we're still swinging. We aren't teaching because we're awesome or infallible, we're doing it because we've made a ton of mistakes and figured out not only what works but why it works.Business doesn't have to be boring. Discovering your brand can set you free.
My name is Todd Reichman. I'm a professional photographer (website – www.reichmanphoto.com) living in Atlanta, GA. I like business, because paying attention to business lets me be more creative. I've heard about the own starving artist thing, and frankly I can't understand how you can be satisfied and creative when you're worried about paying the bills. So as I began to learn everything I could about the craft of photography, it only made sense to learn about how the heck photography could be profitable for me, and compelling and satisfying for my clients. I'm a big fan of branding, managerial accounting, purpose and story.
I've got a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater Direction and Lighting Design and a Master's Degree in English. When I worked in the corporate world all I thought about was how to goof off while I was there and how to eventually get out of the corporate world by any means necessary. By that I mean to say that going into the photography industry I knew as little about running a sustainable and profitable creative business as any other artist. But hey, if I can learn how to do this, and keep my studio doors open and my photography earning me a living for years on end, then there is no reason that you can't too.

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me.
Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.
This is what I have for you my Princess, and this is how you always make me feel.

Jessie Ware Will Release Acclaimed 'Devotion' Album in U.S. on April 16
British songbird Jessie Ware is finally bringing her debut album Devotion' to the U.S. The record, which includes a brand-new remix featuring one of her favorite rappers, will hit retailers on this side of the Atlantic on April 16.
'Devotion' reached the Top 5 in the U.K. last year and earned Ware a couple of BRIT Award nominations. She's been introducing herself to U.S. audiences with a performance on Jimmy Fallon and an upcoming series of tour dates, including both weekends of Coachella.
The U.S. edition of 'Devotion' will contain two new tracks. One is a song Ware co-wrote called 'Imagine It Was Us.' The other is a remix of 'Wildest Moments' featuring rapper A$AP Rocky, who just two months ago was telling the press that he was dying to work with Ware. "I just think she has a beautiful voice and a lot of talent," Rocky said at the time, and it turns out the feeling was mutual. Wish granted!
Ware has earned praise for her soulful pop sound, as heard in tracks like 'Running' and 'Night Light.' Fans can check out her live show starting on April 3 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

Whatever the device, it will be owned and serviced by someone other than you or your employees, receive currency from your customers and communicate an implicit stamp of approval from you and your business.
Generally, there are three common arrangements in which the device is owned and serviced by:
Employees or volunteers of a charitable organization. In this case the net profits go to the charity.
A private operator who has entered into a contract with a nonprofit organization. These operators must register with the Attorney General's office and the percentage to be paid to the nonprofit organization must be prominently disclosed on the device.
A private commercial operator that does not donate proceeds to a nonprofit organization. The operator may have permission to use the nonprofit organization's name in exchange for a one-time or periodic royalty payment or the opportunity to place a program service message on the device. The operator is not required to register with the Attorney General's office but the device must include a prominent statement such as "all proceeds go to the unit owner".
If you are considering the placement of a collection device at your place of business, know who you are dealing with. If the device is not operated by employees or volunteers of the organization itself, request a copy of the contract or letter of agreement before you agree to let them set up shop.

Josh Johnson doesn't have the answers.
After another horrid start, the Toronto Blue Jays starter didn't know what he was doing wrong this season or in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Houston Astros at Rogers Centre.
"I've just got to make better pitches," he said. "I made some OK pitches, but then I made some terrible ones as well."
Watch: Astros beat up Johnson and the Jays
Johnson fell to 1-7 and saw his earned-run average rise to 6.08 as he gave up seven runs on seven hits, including three home runs. It was his third straight bad start and fifth consecutive loss in as many appearances.
"He's scuffling, that's an understatement," manager John Gibbons said. "He's feeling it. I mean, he's human. You feel for the guy. And he's never struggled a whole lot in his career. He's trying to settle in, he's trying to contribute, and it hasn't gone well for him. It's tough. There's really nowhere to hide out there."
Johnson tried to take a "different mind-set" onto the mound Saturday afternoon after lasting just two innings Monday. His pre-game bullpen session admittedly wasn't sharp, but the right-hander insisted he didn't think, "Here we go again" after surrendering back-to-back singles to start the game.
"Sometimes that happens," Johnson said. "Seems like it's happened a lot more with me, but it's part of the game."
When Astros designated hitter Chris Carter hit a three-run home run before Johnson recorded an out, it marked the sixth straight start in which he allowed multiple runs in the first inning a base runner got on. Pitching coach Pete Walker said he and his staff were "certainly aware" of that trend.
But throwing from the stretch isn't Johnson's only problem, as Gibbons pointed out that he allowed solo home runs to Justin Maxwell and Matt Dominguez from the windup.
Where Johnson's issues stem from could be mechanical or mental. More likely, it's a combination of both, as the 29-year-old said his confidence is "not real high" right now.
"They all go through those stretches where confidence becomes an issue," Gibbons said. "You've got to deal with it. That's part of this business. I know he's scrambling, he's got to be scrambling trying to figure it out because you'll see him: He'll pitch some hitters good and then lose it and get hit pretty hard."
Johnson tried to work on keeping his throwing motion more direct, driving down his right hip instead of falling off the mound toward first base. He consciously thought about it for all 5 2/3 innings Saturday.
"I'd do it for a couple pitches and then I wouldn't do it for a couple," Johnson said. "That inconsistency was still there a little bit."
Consistency has been hard to find for the Blue Jays this season, and that goes beyond Johnson's struggles. They managed to put six runs on the board Saturday, finally getting to Astros starter Dallas Keuchel, but it wasn't enough.
Keuchel, who lasted until Jose Bautista's three-run homer in the eighth, said the Blue Jays had as good a lineup as he has seen in the major leagues. Toronto showed it by out-hitting Houston, but the hole Johnson dug was too deep to get out of.
"I think he just wants to compete, and he just wants to get some consistency in his game right now," Walker said. "The frustration is that he doesn't feel like he's giving this team a chance to win a game."
As Johnson failed to do that for the fourth time in five starts, it's time for more re-evaluation. Walker said it's "back to the drawing board a little bit with him."
From his vantage point, Johnson saw some positives. He finished with eight strikeouts and was able to last into the sixth inning to keep a tired bullpen fresh.
But the negatives certainly outweighed the positives.
"I just think they put some good swings on him," Gibbons said. "The ball's not where he's trying to locate it, and then he's maybe up in the zone a little bit and they hit him."
Johnson said he "threw some pretty good pitches." Because he didn't throw enough, he was left to lament another loss, but the coming days will mean more work to right his game.
"It's a battle right now," Walker said. "And I know he's frustrated with the consistency, but we're certainly not giving up on him by any stretch. I still think he's got plenty of stuff to get major-league hitters out. I think you saw it with the strikeouts today: At times he's very good. He's going to continue to work at it, and I still believe in my heart that he's going to have some good games here."
NOTES — Astros second baseman Jose Altuve left the game with tightness in his left quadriceps muscle. He said he felt some tightness going from first to third, and manager Bo Porter indicated his removal was for precautionary reasons. ... Blue Jays second baseman Mark DeRosa hit his 100th career home run with a solo shot in the second inning.Report Typo/Error

As Twitter struggled to return to normal Wednesday evening, a trickle of details suggested that the outage that left 30 million users unable to use the micro-blogging service for several hours - at least in part - may have been the result of a spam campaign that targeted a single user who vocally supports the Republic of Georgia.
According to Bill Woodcock, research director at the non-profit Packet Clearing House, the torrent of traffic that brought the site to its knees wasn't the result of a traditional DDoS, or distributed denial of service attack, but rather people who clicked on a link in spam messages that referenced a well-known blogger called Cyxymu.
As spam goes, the emails looked benign enough. One of them carried the subject "Visit my blog" and contained the words "thanks for looking at my blog" in the body. They contained respective links to Cyxymu's accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal and YouTube, all of which also reported receiving abnormal amounts of traffic on Thursday.

The Google Android platform is about to get a little bit more serious-minded. According to a recent report, Google is going to shift to a paid platform for Android applications.
Until now, Android apps have been available only for free. The shift will make the platform a lot more attractive to professional developers, and will position the Android phone platform as a more serious competitor to the iPhone and other smartphones.
Free is great when you can get it, and the free software folks definitely have their place. But it's just not going to cut it in the consumer world. The profit motive still drives the bulk of development, and several of the major developers have been hesitant to develop for the Android platform for this very reason. With the shift to a for-profit Android applications marketplace, Google's going to take a big piece of the market as more developers see this as a brand new opportunity and start building serious consumer and business applications for the platform. Developers will keep 70 percent of the revenue from app sales.

It was billed as the one of the most dramatic warnings the world has ever received over the dangers of ecstasy. A study from one of America's leading universities concluded that taking the drug for just one evening could leave users with irreversible brain damage and trigger the onset of Parkinson's disease.
The study, published in the eminent journal Science last September, had an immediate impact. Doctors and anti-drug crusaders spoke of a "neurological time bomb" facing the young. Others suggested that taking one tablet was the equivalent of playing Russian roulette with the brain, and demanded tighter anti-rave laws. The article's findings made newspapers around the world, including The Age.
But this week scientists had to admit that the stark results they reported were not a breakthrough but a humiliating blunder.
The study was based on the fact that laboratory monkeys and baboons had a severe reaction to the drug when it was injected in small doses. But it has now emerged that the vials of liquid did not contain ecstasy. Instead, the animals received a dose of methamphetamine, or speed - a drug widely known to affect the body's dopamine system. The tubes had somehow been mislabelled by the supplier.
In this week's Science, the scientists have published a retraction of their original study, reigniting the row over the role of those who investigate ecstasy, as well as the real risks or benefits of the drug.
In academic circles, the mistake is a severe embarrassment to Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, which attracts millions of dollars of research funding. Questions are already being asked about whether the lead researcher, George Ricaurte, was inherently biased against the drug.
The mistake came to light when follow-up tests gave conflicting results. The original study reported that two out of 10 animals died quickly after their second or third dose. Six weeks later, the dopamine levels in the surviving animals were down 65 per cent, leading Dr Ricaurte and his colleagues to conclude that it could provoke the onset of Parkinson's, which is linked to dopamine-producing cell loss.
When the study was published, experts saw it as evidence of drug damage. Dr Alan Leshner, chief executive of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science, which publishes the journal, described taking ecstasy as playing Russian roulette with brain function.
He said: "This study showed that even very occasional use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain systems."
Yesterday, Dr Ricaurte was trying to put a brave face on the calamity. He has already been accused of rushing his study into print because Congress was looking at a bill known as the Anti-Rave Act, which would punish club owners who knew that drugs such as ecstasy were being used on their premises.
Dr Ricaurte has denied political bias. He said yesterday that his laboratory made "a simple human error".
Asked why the vials of liquid were not checked before being used on the animals, he replied: "We're not chemists. We get hundreds of chemicals here - it's not customary to check them."
Controversy has raged about the dangers of ecstasy. Some studies suggest that ecstasy has no long-term effect on the levels of the hormone serotonin in the brain, while others suggest it leaves users depressed and unable to concentrate.

Seco Doubles Recycling Goal in 2011
Seco has released the annual results of its North American Carbide Recycling Program, revealing that the company collected and processed 57,368 lbs of used carbide tools in 2011. This represented more than double the company's goal of 26,500 lbs, thanks to steady growth of the program throughout the year. With its Carbide Recycling Program, Seco provides manufacturers with small, medium or large storage containers to place within their facilities. Small containers hold approximately five lbs of carbide, medium containers hold approximately 50 lbs, and the large drums accommodate approximately 1,500 lbs. As tools reach the end of their useful life, they can be placed in these containers, which are then collected by Seco. Any carbide products from any manufacturer can be submitted, including carbide inserts, solid drills, solid end mills, wear parts and PCD/PCBN-tipped inserts. Manufacturers are paid at the market rate when the carbide is returned.
"Over the past year, we've really spread the word to customers on just how easy it is to recycle used tools and inserts with the Seco program," says Vic Bruni, manager of quality at Seco Tools Inc. "Since launching the program in February 2011, we've seen a tremendous amount of growth and we're well on our way to our goal of recycling 50 percent of the carbide inserts we sell by 2014."
In addition to the well-publicized environmental benefits of recycling, Seco's Carbide Recycling Program helps to address the growing global demand for tungsten, which comprises 75 percent of cemented carbide. Up to 95 percent of the material in a typical carbide insert can be reclaimed, helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of the metal cutting industry. Manufacturers interested in participating in the Seco Tools Used Carbide Recycling Program can visit the website below.

Lester named Red Sox Opening Day starter
BOSTON—Red Sox Manager Bobby Valentine announced today that left-handed pitcher Jon Lester will be the club's starter on Opening Day, April 5 in Detroit.
For Lester, 28, it marks his second straight Opening Day nod, as he also started Boston's first game of the 2011 season on April 1 in Texas. He will be the first left-hander to start on Opening Day in back-to-back years for the Red Sox since Mel Parnell started three straight season openers from 1952-54. A two-time All-Star who was selected by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, Lester's .691 career winning percentage (76-34) is the third-highest mark since 1900 among Major League pitchers with at least 50 decisions. He has posted a 3.53 ERA (376 ER/957.2 IP) and recorded 894 strikeouts in 155 games (154 starts) over his six Major League seasons.
Lester will oppose the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner and MVP Justin Verlander in the April 5th contest which is slated for a 1:05 p.m. ET start. That game will be televised in New England on NESN and outside of New England on ESPN2. The game will also air on radio in English on WEEI 93.7 FM/850 AM and network affiliates, and in Spanish on Spanish Béisbol Productions WWZN 1510 AM.
The Red Sox will hold a team workout at Comerica Park on April 4 at 1 p.m. Media availability for that day will be announced at a later date.

What a disgusting loss.
What a disgusting season.
I think this team might had lost Baseball God's favor when Randy Levin openly bragged about what a great victory it was to beat Chien-ming Wang in arbitration.
No god will favor a team whose president humiliates their back-to-back 19-win pitcher in public.

As two independent filmmakers battle in Utah's federal court over use of tough-guy actor Danny Trejo in their movies, one film — "Machete Kills" directed by Robert Rodriguez — is slated to arrive in theaters on Oct. 11.
The other film, "Danny Trejo's Vengeance" directed by Gil Medina, was supposed to debut in November; that date was bumped up to August according to some entertainment media reports. But a promo trailer on the film company's website still says "Coming Soon."
In addition to Trejo, "Machete Kills" stars Carlos Estevez (the actor formerly known as Charlie Sheen), Lady Gaga, Mel Gibson and Sofia Vergara in a killer bra, literally.

Happy Sunday, New York Giants fans! After we close out today, there will only be one more football-free weekend before training camp begins and this long lull officially comes to an end. In the mean time, and to help pass time, here are some headlines to enjoy over your morning coffee.
NFC East Camp Capsule: Can Giants Make Final Run?
It's possible that the two most prominent faces behind a pair of Super Bowl championships in between have taken the franchise as far as they can. There was even some talk of Tom Coughlin — who turns 68 in August — being let go or retiring as last season circled the drain, while there seems to be a league-wide belief Eli Manning is in decline at 33.
Manning has bounced back before, and even at 33, he's probably good enough with the right supporting cast. It all comes down to protection. As long as Coughlin's Giants can find a way to keep the quarterback upright, that team always has a shot to be in the mix in the NFC East.
And as Coughlin and Manning have proven on more than one occasion, all they need is a ticket to the dance. If the Giants sneak into the playoffs, anything is possible.
Walter Thurmond Film Review: Giants CB 'Underrated,' Even Better than Expected
The Giants have made it known they intend to play their cornerbacks close to the line of scrimmage this season and employ a lot of bump-and-run coverage. This perfectly fits Thurmond's game.
Thurmond should also help the Giants against some of the league's top tight ends, an area they've struggled in recent years. Thurmond showed he can be physical with them near the line of scrimmage and stay with them downfield.
If Thurmond can stay on the field, he looks capable of being an impact player. He can cover, make plays against the run and add a new dimension for the Giants off the edge as a pass rusher. He can also easily fill-in as a starter on the outside if something happens to Rodgers-Cromartie or Prince Amukamara.
20 Questions: Tight End Competition
The Giants currently have five tight ends, none of whom is head and shoulders above the other four.
That suggests playing time at the position will eventually be a shared arrangement, dictated by game plans, formations, opponents and play-calling. It's unlikely that one player will play enough or produce the kind of numbers that will make him an obvious No. 1 at the position. Adrien Robinson and rookie free agent Xavier Grimble are two players to watch when training camp opens.

I've seen way too many people regurgitate flawed stats regarding suicide rates in the US Military. It seems that the DoD and / or defense-policy think-tanks have created some palatable 'synthetic data'. Going back to the 2001-2008 time period, this study seems to be a typical example. It's from RAND, a large think-tank currently funded by the [Read More…]

Best Of :: Food & Drink
As with some of the best chip shops in England, the Chippy is tucked away, hidden from the main road. Buried in a strip mall's random food court, you can't even see it from the street. But the tiny, unassuming storefront dishes out fish and chips that rival Fleet Street. The fish is fried to a pale bronze, the batter is light and crispy—but the fish inside remains moist and snowy white, flaking away at the slightest touch. A squeeze of lemon is all you need, but a creamy, tangy tartar sauce is also available at the DIY saucing station. Fries come as a heaping mound—they're hearty and thick, a perfect compliment to the delicate fried fish. The Chippy also sells fried shrimp, onion rings and hush puppies—but as many times as we've been there, we can't bring ourselves to order anything else.
Seven small tables, one of them covered with cookies, pastries and other Filipino desserts in plastic boxes. Not a single white face in the place. All good signs you're going to be eating the real deal. Go to the counter and tell the woman behind the glass what you want. Served turo turo (cafeteria) style, she drops two huge scoops of rice on a plate and looks at you patiently while you try to decide. Two large barbecue pork skewers, generous with smoky, flavorful meat, not too fatty? Or kaldereta, a hearty, chunky beef stew with bell peppers, chile and other veggies? Beef mushroom overflowing with large sliced mushrooms and slices of beef reminiscent of boeuf bourguignon? The calamares is a little more of an acquired taste for a white palate, but the tender squid is cooked in its own delicious, salty ink.
If you'd like to get away from the standard artery-cloggers posing as fast breakers 'round town, the Blue Frog Bakery's Vegi-Burrito will stuff your gut without stopping your heart. The O'Brian potatoes, scrambled eggs, avocado, zucchini and tomatoes stuffed into a large tortilla is a two-fister topped off with a side of salsa perfection. If cholesterol isn't an issue, the breakfast machaca's shredded beef, eggs, bell peppers and onions or the insidiously addictive Egg Muffin Breakfast—scramblers, meat and cheese on an English Muffin—beats the hell out of any fast-foody junk you'd pick up elsewhere. The inside can get full quickly some mornings, so get in early and snake out one of the four small café tables under the Bakery's eave. Catch up on your reading, drink a latte and start your day with a full stomach (and mind). Inside tip: If you're into anime or all things nerdist, chat up friendly and funny counter girl Red. She's our favorite.
"This is my favorite bar that isn't a bar," says a regular inside Left Coast Brewery's tasting room as he sets down two empty growlers and sits at the bar. He picks up a pint glass with the brewery's logo on it and asks if it's the biggest glass they have. It is. You can taste whatever's chalked on the brew board in 5-, 10- or 16-ounce vessels. As the bartender fills the guy's glass with Left Coast Baltic Porter, there's a general discussion about how to pour a black and tan and which Left Coast selections would make one best. Everyone happily disagrees. The guy loves his porter so much he says he'd pour it over ice cream, which leads to a unanimous desire for a stout float. It's Saturday afternoon, and people flow in to get their growlers filled, and all of them stay to have a big glass of something barrel-aged (not available to-go) or dark or hoppy or even double-hoppy—Left Coast claims it's one of the pioneers of the double IPA. Its version is an award-winner called Hop Juice that lures you in with a sweet maltiness, then delivers a multihop wallop of fun bitterness, followed not too long after by the full-body effects of its 9.7 percent ABV.
Whichever individual 5-inch pies you choose at this Aussie newcomer, comfort food meets up-to-the-minute freshness and inventiveness. "Shortcut pastry shell with a puff-pastry lid" is how Pie-Not describes the perfect enclosures for the tender, juicy fillings. The Dog's Eye is the place to start, a ubiquitous meat pie Down Under; it's like having the best tomato-basil-mozzarella panini of your life at a Rome train station. The filling comes in many lively variations: two we liked are Shroomin, with crimini and field mushrooms, and the premium Drover, which has petite peas and carrots, topped with garlic mashed potatoes instead of the puff pastry.
The fresh peach pie is a mountain of sliced-fruit perfection altered only enough to be called pie.

In 2004, the five largest U.S. banks held 34 percent of all commercial bank assets; today they hold 48 percent.
Goldman Sachs is now a commercial bank, as is Morgan Stanley, which means both firms are protected by the Fed as Too Big To Fail.
Cash-advances were publicly advertised by the commercial bank.
He has also, for a number of years, been a director of the commercial bank of Cleveland.
Those of the commercial bank were only fetching twenty cents.
The personal liability is different, replied Hagel, manager of the commercial bank.
Miller was offered a situation in a branch office of the commercial bank, which was opened in Cromarty in 1835.
Hagel, of the commercial bank, communicated his directors decision as to the maturing notes, with his usual verbose solemnity.
There would be something doing in the way of entertainment presently in the neighborhood of the musty old commercial bank.
From 1836 to 1853 he was president of the commercial bank at Cincinnati, and acted as state treasurer.

That's quite correct, an Idle job is one that can run if resources become available, i.e. it's not blocked by a policy such as the number of running or idle jobs a user can have, or it's not been deferred because of a launching or RM problem. > If a job is in the queues with nothing stopping them from executing except > an open slot based on their needs, shouldn't users and administrators be > able to see it's priority?

Jewelry or USB Devices
If you're changing jewelry before a night out on the town, you might toss it in the zippered section of your wallet or your bag, and the same thing goes for a USB device after a work meeting. Then you may forget about it for a while—until your bag is stolen, and you have to deal with the heartache of losing your grandma's earrings along with your cash. It's just common sense, but make sure to clean out your valuables from your wallet or purse every night.

Innovation Center Denmark teamed up with Cleantech Scandinavia and our colleagues from the other Bay Area Nordic organizations to bring 11 of the most promising cleantech startups for a week of pitch training, networking, and company visits, culminating with the Cleantech Open Forum and our own Nordic Cleantech Showcase.
Of the 11 early and growth-stage companies, three were from Denmark and target three very different markets, Black Silicon Solar, Me-Mover, and One Heat.
Black Silicon Solar
Black Silicon Solar reduces the price of silicon solar cells by 10% through an alternative texturing process using nanostructures. In addition to lowering manufacturing cost the technology will reduce production times, toxic chemicals, and the amount of silicon that goes into each solar cell while at the same time raising efficiency.
The two young founders, Rasmus Davidsen from the Danish Technical University, and Hjalmar Nilsonne from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, already won 1st prize in Venture Cup this year, and made it all the way to the final six in the Global Forum.
The Me-Mover is essentially a step machine on wheels. The Chief Mover Jonas Eliasson – since he is the tallest guy in the company – presented this three-wheeled, pedal-driven vehicle that also turns into a trolley that can be brought along on public transport. The main point of the Me-Mover is to get users to skip the car in city commutes and get them outside with a healthy and fun new mode of transportation.
One Heat
One Heat, represented by Tor Reedtz and Brian Jensen, has a new technology for instant, tank-less water heaters. One Heat is able to heat water at a never-before seen rates and clean the water at the same time. Thus One Heat's platform technology holds promise in many different market applications.

Firefox is becoming totally unusable, and even though some extensions I need/want do not exist for Epiphany (like Web Developer and Firebug, Live HTTP headers, Stealther, UrlParams, Cookie Button, and plenty of the features of Tab Mix Plus (among others)).
The single biggest obstacle keeping me from switching are vertical tabs. I usually have a browser window for each task I work on, and on average, I'll have 15 tabs open in it. With Firefox, I hacked the UI to make the tabs line up vertically on the left side of the window. That way, I can easily keep track of 30 open tabs, and I gain vertical space for the payload at the expense of window width.
Dear lazyweb: do you know of a way to move the Epiphany tab bar to the left of the window and have it fill with tabs top-down? Please let me know!
NP: 65daysofstatic / The Fall of Math
Update: Lazyweb, you're aweseome! Rodney Jokerst referred me to his Epiphany extension, which does just what I want.
Update: due to popular demand, here's the
Firefox hack I use in
#content > tabbox {
-moz-box-orient: horizontal;
.tabbrowser-strip {
-moz-box-orient: vertical;
/* note: you can set this to -moz-scrollbars-vertical instead,
but then the scrollbar will *always* be visible. this way
there is never a scrollbar, so it behaves like the tab bar
normally does */
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none;
.tabbrowser-tabs {
-moz-box-orient: horizontal;
/* min-width: 50ex; */ /* >1680 pixels screens */
/* min-width: 40ex; */ /* =1680,1600 pixels screens */
/* min-width: 35ex; */ /* =1440 pixels screens */
/* min-width: 30ex; */ /* <1440 pixels screens */
min-width: 20ex; /* 1280 pixels screens */
/* min-width: 17ex; */ /* this is almost the minimum to go down to on small screens */
-moz-box-align: start;
/* Background for tabbrowser strip */
tabs.tabbrowser-tabs {
background-color: grey !important;
.tabbrowser-tabs > stack > vbox > hbox > hbox {
-moz-box-orient: vertical;
-moz-box-align: stretch;
.tabbrowser-tabs > stack > vbox > hbox > hbox > tab {
-moz-box-align: start;
-moz-box-orient: horizontal;
/* to put the tabs on the right un-comment this line
(not needed if using Tab Mix Plus) */
#content > tabbox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}
Even though the origins of this code are IRC channels and other forms of random pasting back and forth, of which I was a part, I took the above from this page.

Meet Melanie…
Melanie's expertise on Fabulesslyfrugal.com… I like to think I am an expert at shopping online! I keep an eye on daily deals and any other online deals and coupons that are FAB. I have been sharing a lot of my favorite recipes too!
The most frugal thing Melanie has ever done is… I didn't want to pay for engagement pictures. So we just had my husband's roommate take pictures of us at a park for our wedding announcements. He had no photography experience and the camera wasn't even very nice. I was fine with how they turned out back then, so I guess it worked out. 😉
Melanie's frugal fashion tips… I like to shop online whenever possible. I can still use coupons/coupon codes on sales that are in the stores, but I can get some additional cash back from Ebates, and usually find a way to get free shipping too. Just make sure you are familiar with the return policy. My fashion tip: Don't buy it unless it fits well and is flattering, no matter how cheap it is. It is possible and worthwhile to find quality/long-lasting and flattering clothing at FAB prices. Long-lasting items cost less in the long run!
Melanie's favorite place to shop online… Amazon. I am definitely an Amazon woman because it has such a huge variety of items and competitive pricing too. I always check prices on Amazon before I buy something. I like to buy my kids' clothes on OldNavy.com though. They have such cute clothing and lots of sales.
Melanie is not always frugal… I grew up in a very frugal family. I can be very frugal about some things and not so frugal about other things. I think I enjoy shopping a little too much now days! But I do always search for the best deal on everything I buy and I always have enough to pay the bills. I tend to splurge on kitchen and dining items and I will pay more for quality.
Melanie has not always couponed… After my second child, I had to quit my job. But I have never not worked before. I felt like I had to search for ways to work from home to make money and keep busy. I decided that my "job" could be trying to spend less money by couponing. Then I found this blog…
Every family size can coupon… My family currently consists of myself, my husband, two little boys, and a little girl. Wanna know how much Melanie spends on groceries each month… Unfortunately, we are all very picky about what we eat. My grocery bill could probably be a lot lower otherwise. I usually spend about $300/mo. Now that I have started trying out more recipes to post on the blog, my grocery costs are a bit higher!
This is what Melanie HAS TO have that is not frugal… I can think of a whole slew of things that my husband thinks he has to have! He loves having the latest and greatest electronics. I can be picky about some brands and the quality of items, but I still consider that to be frugal because quality items can last longer or do a better job (and you can still find great deals and coupons on them too). As I mentioned above, I'm willing to spend more to have quality items for my kitchen, especially.
Melanie's favorite thing to stockpile… I like to stockpile anything that doesn't expire too quickly. I always have a lot of cereal, snacks (try to keep them mostly healthy), deodorant, toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, and baby wipes. Even before I started couponing, I liked to have backups of everything that we use regularly. Now I can just do it for a lot less!
Melanie realized she was addicted to couponing when… it stressed me out to pay full price for anything. Also, when I started getting multiple newspapers delivered to my door on Sundays I felt I must really be committed.
Do you think Melanie would still coupon if she had 1 million dollars… Yeah. I'm sure I would keep it up. I love getting a good deal! However, I know there is a balance between saving money and saving time. So, the extent of the couponing would depend on how much time I have. Would I get more time in the day with that money?
This is how couponing changed Melanie's life… I don't look at grocery shopping the same way. Couponing has opened up a whole new little couponing world to me. I have learned a lot. Couponing, and my frugal friends, have inspired me to become more frugal and wise about my spending. And it has led me to this blog, which has been a huge blessing.

just wondering?
So i was wondering those of you that have cousins what is their age range?
Thanks and hugs
I am the 'baby' in my generation. I'm 39 (I'll be 40 in July), my brother is 3 years older. Our closest cousin is 10 years older, and there is quite the gap between him and his closest sibling. My cousins are mostly staring to retire - 58-66.
The next generation starts 2.5 years behind me - he is already 37....the youngest in that generation is my youngest son who is 9 years old. While there was a "clean break" between my generation and the next - there is not for the next generation as some of my cousins' kids started having babies before my last was born.
my cousins, counting both sides, range from 50? - 33? (12 cousins) Im a sneeze away from 45
I have a BUNCH of cousins... Ages of first cousins are about 30 - 60... We were all pretty much raised together in split groups... I am 44 so was kind of in the middle... I remember being close to the older ones then became on of the older one to the youngest... lol... there are probably about 15 of us within 3 -4 years in age...
I have no clue the last count lol... there are soooo many of us...
I only have a handful of first cousins (LOADS of 2nd) so they are pretty close to my age. Oldest is late 50's, youngest is early 30s.
I only have 2. They're early 40's, I think. Okay, those are first cousins. I know I have some 2nd or 3rd cousins from the Phillipines. Their age ranges all the way up to 65ish, I think. But, sadly I may never get to meet them.
My cousins on my moms side range from 44 to almost 16 for the 1st cousins. My dads side I am 5th oldest so range would be late 40's to thirties

Hola mi gente (am I big enough of a travel blogger to say that yet?), I hope you're all feeling sprightly and well as this short little month nears denouement. I've been working my little British nipples off what with studying, travel blogging and keeping everything else ticking over in my hectic yet happy life. Today I'm back with a bang though! I'm back to fire up my goal of encouraging you all get off your lazy asses and head out to learn Spanish around the world. Whether you want to or not…
Right. Now that all the niceties are out the way (don't you just love me when I'm in this mood), let's talk studying Spanish shall we? So, as readers of this blog might know, having seen me head out first to Caceres and then to Granada in pursuit of my goal, learning this language is something I'm very heavily emotionally involved in. Seriously: I think everyone should do it.
Yet while I'd love it if you came out and followed me, I also appreciate that there's a crap tonne of other places out there just waiting for you to pull up a pew, glass of cerveza in hand, and start out on your own path to fluency. So whether its cities, beaches or historic towns that float your boat, be rest-assured that the world really is your oyster when it comes to learning Spanish.
And as the second most "first spoken language" in the world behind Chinese, you could do much worse things with your time after all no? Things like reading this blog!
So as for the most kick-ass places to learn Spanish around the world?
Read on for this little guiri's recommendations.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Every backpackers dream, Argentina's been the object of my travel porn desires for some time now.
The capital, Buenos Aires, offers up one of the most tantalizing destinations to learn Spanish around the world I've ever seen. With locals more passionate about football than I am about having you quit your day job, anyone who wants to learn the language who is also interested in the sport of the gods should definitely think about heading out to this place.
Some of Buenos Aires' courses have even been known to screen football World Cup matches – yet the World Tango festival offers up something slightly more sexier than the fisog of Carlos Tevez!
The only drawback about BA? Courses err on the expensive side even though the cost of living is low.
Mexico, the City and Beaches
Some people regard Mexico as a great place to learn Spanish, others just regard it as a great place to get fucked on tequila. The fact that the local people speak Spanish and are pretty damn good at distilling a really potent alcohol around a worm makes it a pretty kick-ass place to be.
What's more is that Mexico has amazing beaches and interesting spots to visit outside of simply studying and getting your end away. You might want to take up salsa on the side for instance and move closer to the culture.
The only downside about Mexico? Public transport is a bit shitty. Courses are pretty tasty though at around £140 for a week of intensive lessons. Who needs classes though when you can learn in the bedroom so they say?
Bogota, Colombia
The capital of Colombia provides the best fusion of modern Latin music and culture than anywhere else in the world. It also has a rich collection of museums where you can swot up and learn about the history too.
In terms of learning Spanish, Bogota offers pretty decent value for money but since the schools are smaller, fewer activities are planned. Shouldn't be hard to make your own fun in one of the most kick-ass cities on earth though eh? Why not get a Valderrama hair-do if you're that hard-up for ideas?
Ah yeah and specifics. A general Spanish course in Bogota starts at around £180 a week. That's almost the hourly rate for this humble rent-boy-cum-blog-author on the streets of London.
Trinidad, Cuba
What the hell is Trinidad doing on a list of kick-ass places to learn Spanish around the world? Well, aside from being stunning, it's the Cuban one, not the place where love-rat footballer Dwight Yorke hails from. This Castro-run paradise runs Spanish courses too. So bingo!
Alright so it might have one of the most expensive courses on the list but as UNESCO have rightly identified (by bestowing upon it the worthy title of World Heritage Status): it's a bloody paradise! With intensive courses from £250 pounds a week, if you can afford the cost of living here I'd give it a fair whack.
Say hi to Fidel for me too rich boy.
Granada, Spain
Finally how could I not mention the place I currently call home and all the fine-ass opportunities it provides in getting good at the language?
Granada is a place not just with amazing history, art and architecture, it's also one of the best to explore while learning Spanish too. Boasting some of Spain's best flamenco dancers (still haven't seen any yet) the city's got plenty to distract you with away from your main studies. Oh yeah, and need I mention the great night life and the cost of living too?
Courses in Granada range in price depending on how intensive you want to make it. General courses here (10-15 hours a week) come in around £100 a week. You can stay in my house too if you like. Just send me a few racy photos of yourself before hand for approval.
And so while you don't need me to tell you that having a knowledge of multiple languages is considered a strong plus point, when it comes to learning Spanish around the world you're really spoiled for choice.
Rich, poor or prostitute, there really is no reason why you shouldn't join the fun!
Have you lovely folk got any more recommendations on places to learn Spanish around the world?

Personality Test: Phillipe Jacinto-Velazquez
Simple and straightforward.
That's how Phillipe Jacinto-Velazquez describes his art technique. That much comes across clearly in his use of vibrant color, unabashed imagery and down-to-the-nth-degree detail.
And it doesn't matter if he's using oils or using a computer mouse with Photoshop.
"I have been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. There was no decision to draw or paint," says Jacinto-Velazquez, who lives in the Mexican War Streets. "I have always felt moved by color, inside. To provoke a smile, to raise an eyebrow, to make one feel."
His first solo exhibit was held in Pittsburgh 1992. It took three years to complete seven paintings he entered for that exhibit. Each was airbrushed, super-realistic marbles on canvas.
He also spent a couple years doing freelance work creating animated TV commercials. Since 1998, Jacinto-Velazquez has focused on oil painting, while also studying the works of other artists to further hone his craft.
And for the last two years, he's worked with Home Run Pictures, a Downtown-based 3-D animation studio, to produce "dome shows" for museums and science centers.

Bruce Willis. He is rough around the edges, a tough guy, but he always plays a thinker, not a reactor to problems like me.

Global Buddies hosts Amazing Race event (video)
This video highlights one of Global Buddies' most recent, and adventurous, social events to date. This May, the Global Buddies program organized its first annual Amazing Race event modeled after the Amazing Race reality game show. Participants teamed up to decipher clues, complete challenges and be the first to cross the finish line. The idea behind the event was to introduce international students to different parts of Iowa City and give them the opportunity to interact with other Global Buddies members.
Global Buddies is a registered UI student organization that matches new international exchange students with domestic students, often study abroad returnees, on campus. In addition to meeting with their buddy, members can also attend a weekly social hour. The group also organizes one large social event or activity per month.

NEW YORK >> Marian Gaborik played for the New York Rangers for three-plus seasons and scored 114 goals in 255 games before he was traded during the 2012-13 season to Columbus. The Kings then acquired him this past March 5 from the Blue Jackets.
Gaborik makes his first visit tonight to Madison Square Garden since the trade, and it was clear Sunday that he was looking forward to it. Above all, he couldn't wait to hear the roar of the crowd and to get a close-up look at the extensive renovations of the "World's Most Famous Arena."
"I don't think I've met or talked to any player who didn't like playing in the Garden," said Gaborik, who has a playoff-leading 13 goals in 23 games. "You have extra jump. Everybody has an energy. You want to go out there and play well."
Gaborik then went on to sidestep specific questions about whether he might have been a better fit in the system employed by current Rangers coach Alain Vigneault rather than the one used by former coach John Tortorella.
"I haven't thought about it," Gaborik said. "I don't think about the past."
Clearly, however, he has thought of his return to the Garden to face the Rangers.
"I'm grateful to be in my first Final," he said. "To play the Rangers makes it more special."
Kings coach Darryl Sutter went with the status quo for Game 2 after saying one day earlier that defenseman Robyn Regehr "probably" would play for the first time since suffering a knee injury in Game 1 of the second-round series against the Ducks.
Sutter stayed with Matt Greene on Saturday, keeping Regehr out of the lineup for the 15th consecutive game. Sutter said it was a difficult to put Regehr back into such high-level competition after a layoff that reached five weeks Saturday.
"Darn right it's a consideration when you think about it," Sutter said.
Madison Square Garden tends to bring out the best in both teams, according to Sutter.
"I've been coming to Madison Square Garden for 30-some years," he said. "I know it's been refurbished, but the fans are still the same. They love their team and they hate the other team. That's what you like. You like going into buildings that are like that. They're loud and they hate you. All those things.
"It's good."
The Rangers didn't believe Dwight King's third-period goal in Game 2 shouldn't have counted because they said the Kings' grinding forward should have been whistled for making contact with New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. King didn't wish to talk about it, ducking a couple of questions.
"I know they came back from a two-goal deficit (Saturday) night, but their third goal, you can look at it any way you want (but) at the end of the day, that shouldn't have been a goal in my opinion," Vigneault said.
"They got three chances in the third, if you count that one. Two of them went in. We were a little bit unlucky. We were playing real solid. Sometimes stuff like that happens. I believe it's going to even out and I believe we're going to win the next game."

Dear Customers and Stakeholders,
Media coverage of water quality issues in Flint, MI has raised public concerns over lead. The primary cause of the water quality concerns in Flint appears to have been a failure to maintain corrosion control – a basic principle of water
delivery after disinfection and treatment. We pride ourselves on being a model utility in lead abatement.
Here is how:
If you are concerned about older plumbing fixtures in your home, we encourage you to replace them with lead-free fixtures. You can also request a low-cost water quality test by filling out the Lead Analysis Application.
We are proud to provide you with clean, reliable water. We test your water almost 100,000 times each year! Interested in more details about water quality? Check out our latest Water Quality Report at sfwater.org/qualitymatters.
Harlan L. Kelly, Jr.
General Manager
What is lead and how is it used?
Lead is a metal found in natural deposits as ores containing other elements. It is sometimes used in household plumbing materials or in water service lines used to bring water from the main to the
home. See how to identify and purchase lead-free faucets.
The EPA regulates lead in drinking water
In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act. This law requires EPA to determine safe levels of chemicals in drinking water which do or may cause health problems. These non-enforceable
levels, based solely on possible health risks and exposure, are called Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) Goals, which are set at zero because EPA believes this level of protection would not cause any potential health problems.
How will lead be detected in and removed from my drinking water?
In San Francisco there are no known lead service lines in the distribution system; however, if a lead service line is found, it is quickly removed. All tests
for lead content in the distribution system result in non-detects. It is possible that lead levels detected at your tap may be higher due to differences in plumbing materials.
Lead contamination generally occurs from corrosion of household lead pipes. Our corrosion control treatment consists of maintaining alkaline water pH (above neutral) throughout our distribution system. Our corrosion control approach has been reaffirmed
by the State Water Resources Control Board.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted EPA's Action Level for Lead (Pb), which is 15 μg/L.LCR requires at least 90% of Pb tap samples collected from participants' taps not to exceed the Action Level.The LCR is a Treatment Technique
regulation. Monitoring results are used by the SWRCB to determine if additional studies are needed to improve corrosion control treatment. The summary report of this monitoring can be found here.
In addition you can see results of Lead Samples collected in 2009, 2012 and 2015 from the San Francisco Water System here.
Have your water tested for lead
San Francisco residents may request a sampling kit and analysis for a small fee ($25.00) by calling 311. WIC participants can request a free lead test. This tap water sampling is conducted
by the resident according to lead and copper sampling protocol provided by the SFPUC. We will pick up the collected sample, conduct analysis and provide results to the resident.
Please complete the Lead Analysis Application and send it along with payment to:
SFPUC Water Quality Division
Environmental Services Section
Attn: Lead Program Coordinator

Burlingame, CA 94010

Reducing potential lead exposure from drinking water
When your water has been sitting for several hours (or overnight), you can flush your cold water tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using the water. Certified filters would
also reduce any potential lead exposure from drinking water.
What are the health effects?
If consumed, lead may have multiple adverse effects on the human body. Pregnant women and children under the age of seven are most vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead.
How much lead is produced and released to the environment?
Lead may occur in drinking water either by contamination of the source water used by the water system, or by corrosion of lead plumbing or fixtures. Corrosion of plumbing
is by far the greatest cause for concern. All water is corrosive to metal plumbing materials to some degree. Grounding of household electrical systems to plumbing may also exacerbate corrosion. Over time, lead-containing plumbing materials will usually
develop a scale that minimizes further corrosion of the pipe.
What happens to lead when it is released to the environment?
When released to land, lead binds to soils and does not migrate to ground water. In water, it binds to sediments. It does not accumulate in fish, but does in some shellfish, such as mussels.
Learn more about your drinking water!
The EPA strongly encourages people to learn more about their drinking water, and to support local efforts to protect and upgrade the supply of safe drinking water. Your water bill and annual
Water Quality Report are good starting points.
For information on drinking water in general, call: EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline: (800) 424-5323.

McLaren driver Raikkonen won his first race in just 36 attempts at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, while Alonso finished third in his Renault after becoming the youngest driver to set a pole position on Saturday.
"I think both are future world champions," said Barrichello, who finished second.
"I just hope I can win the world championship before them."
Alonso described his first Formula One podium finish - achieved with a fever despite the 35-degree temperatures - as "the best day of my life".
Alonso said: "It's a great feeling to finish on the podium, especially since halfway through the race I started to have problems with my gearbox and I was forced to shift manually until the end.
"Frankly, I thought I wasn't going to finish, and instead I got this great result."
It was the first time Renault had finished on the podium since they returned to F1 with their own team in 2001.
Team boss Flavio Briatore described it as "an important day for Renault".
The performances of Alonso and team-mate Jarno Trulli - who recovered to finish fifth after being punted into a spin by Michael Schumacher on the first lap - provided evidence that Renault are a genuine threat this season.
After qualifying first and second, many in F1 said that the performance only came about because they ran with a light fuel load - which Renault denied.
New rules this year dictate that teams cannot refuel between qualifying and the race, which means less competitive teams can run less fuel in qualifying to put themselves artificially high on the grid.
While Alonso and Trulli did stop a handful of laps earlier than Ferrari and McLaren, they still operated a similar two-stop strategy - and Alonso was racing with Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello until his gearbox problem.
Technical director Mike Gascoyne said: "It's a fantastic result for the team. We had a very strong, competitive weekend."
Gascoyne also took the opportunity to lambast the British press, many of whom criticised Renault for dropping Jenson Button in favour of Alonso last season.
"I hope all those English journalists who wrote it have got the balls to say we were probably right," Gascoyne said.
"Flavio particularly got a lot of stick - everyone was saying he (Alonso) is in the team because he's managed by Flavio.
"But the reason he is managed by Flavio is that Flavio spotted him three years ago and said that's the guy we want in our team and he went and got him.
"We put him in at Minardi [in 2001] and he
did a fantastic job there, he tested for us and did a fantastic job. The time was right to get him in the car.
"I think in a year or two's time, he can win the world championship," Gascoyne said.


text: Zafu is just six years old. Every day she walks for hours from her village in Ethiopia to collect water for her family. Once full, the barrel on her back weighs over 30lbs. But she has no choice. The water she collects is often dirty, containing germs, parasites and deadly diseases such as typhoid, cholera and schistosomiasis. Just drinking it is a deadly lottery. Around 2,000 children a day die from dirty water and poor sanitation. A clean water supply would help these children survive. How you can help If you give as little as £2 a month, you will help children like Zafu to escape from the pain of collecting heavy barrels of dirty water, and the life-threatening risks associated with drinking it. You'll be giving them real hope for the future. Your support won't just help save lives: a world where everyone, everywhere has clean water and safe sanitation will be healthier, better nourished, better educated, more equal and more productive. For the first time in history, we know it's within reach - but we can't achieve it without your help. What your gift will achieve With your support we can help children like Zafu by building wells and installing pumps, pipes and taps. Technologies like these will bring clean, safe water to communities and give them and their children hope for the future. This is always backed up by the promotion of good hygiene behaviour, making sure that the health benefits of safe water and sanitation are maximised.
