Travel is no longer a novelty; it's part of the Australian way of life. The average Australian travels interstate by air once every nine months and overseas every three years.
It's big business. What's more, travel is a fast-growing business, even when most of the world economy is sluggish or in recession, as it is now. And it's the technology companies that are cashing in.
After the initial flourish of great technological ideas like Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook, the industry has begun to consolidate as IT companies buy other companies to strengthen their market position.
For example, online travel booker Expedia.com has bought TripAdvisor and Google has achieved global domination of the advertising business after proving itself the cleverest online search engine and watching its competitors fall away.
As part of its mission to take over the world, Google has targeted the travel industry for growth and, in its latest flourish, has bought the well-established travel guidebook company, Frommers.
However, Google's position has become so powerful that state jurisdictions have struggled to evolve rules that can successfully regulate such multi-national behemoths.
The US government has clashed with Google repeatedly in the past five years as it has bought up advertising interests and, in April last year, imposed a series of conditions on Google's $US676 million purchase of airline fare tracker ITA Software, which is undepinning its expansion into the travel business.
The US Justice Department required Google to license the ITA technology to other companies on reasonable terms until 2016. The government said it would also monitor Google to ensure it did not engage in anti-competitive behaviour in the travel data industry.
Microsoft, Kayak.com, Expedia and other Google competitors had banded together under the banner FairSearch.org to oppose the acquisition of ITA, whose software provides data for online travel sites such as Orbitz. They said the deal would reduce competition.
Technology companies will be even more inter-connected with the whole travel experience following the rolling out of tablets – miniaturised hand-held home computers – in the past year to deliver in-flight entertainment on board passenger aircraft.
One of the features of this technological revolution is vertical integration of the platforms in the same way that Apple has attempted to lock in its customers to its own branded products from home computers to smartphones.
Google, for example, having achieved dominance of the search engine industry, can now control and monetise what you are shown when you think you are calling up a straightforward directory of the most searched-for keywords on the internet.
But what you are not shown can be just as important. For example, when you use the US-based Orbitz to locate the cheapest available airfares on any given route, you are not shown results for airlines that don't pay commissions to Orbitz or other companies in the Orbitz supply chain.
If you're travelling in America, that means you are not seeing results for the country's biggest domestic airline, Southwest, which only deals direct with its customers and does not pay commissions to "middle men". That's one of the reasons its fares are low.
The power of the internet itself makes it easier than ever to find out exactly "who's up who" in the system that's selling you an airline ticket and to locate the cheapest travel deals. But it's still a bewilderingly complex industry that a casual buyer can't be expected to understand.
That's why travel sellers like Webjet, which promise to take all the worry out of travel buying in exchange for a substantial fee, are prospering even though you can "do it yourself" much more cheaply.
Who are the people and the websites that you absolutely trust in purchasing travel? Are there sellers that you swear by or others that you'll absolutely never use?

text: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can have a significant impact on your life, but there are ways you can manage the disorder from day to day. It's important to follow doctors' advice regarding treatment such as medication and therapy. Herbal supplements, exercise, and massage may also help relieve some of the stress or chemical imbalances that are causing your symptoms. However, the disorder can still affect all aspects of your life, including your emotional and mental health. It's important to find ways to cope with these challenges, so seeking counseling, socializing, or even traveling may all be helpful.

Could not ask for better service
Very knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. Arrived within 25 minutes and identified the problem. Was able to fix the problem with my car still parked at home. Very satisfied!
After being messed about by a previous garage this superhero came when he said he would and was able to locate the problem. He then researched and came up with the most Inexpensive solution that had our car back on the road!! He did it all with the most helpful and cheerful manner! As a disabled person who as I say was messed about by and previous garage I cannot rate this man highly enough!! Thoroughly recommend this professional.
Excellent value. Price included pick up and drop off. Superb communications. Joe was incredibly helpful and carried out the work incredibly quickly. Can't recommend him highly enough. Will certainly go back for any future work.
Did a good job!
they did a great job
The general manner of the people was nice and friendly however I cannot praise their work due to an ever increasing list of faults after having the clutch replaced. First off when I got the car back there was no reverse light or auto rear wipe in reverse, this was down to a loose earth lead which they sorted out the next day when I went back to them. I have since found that the offside inner CV boot has been split (was fine for the MOT only a couple of month prior), had this been in this condition when they carried out the work any self respecting mechanic would have told the owner and in the process of removing the offside driveshaft I have found that the intermediate bearing retainer was held in with only one bolt not two and that was finger tight causing the most awful noise when under any load. Overall I am not impressed at the quality of the work carried out especially as while the quote was reasonable it was not the cheapest one around
5* plus..... picked up the vehicle(morning) , fixed in a day and returned the vehicle same day(evening)...great service....by the way the cost is 50% less than other major service and repair center....highly recommend.....
Many Autos collected my car from my office which was very convenient and returned it the same day. The price they charged was very reasonable.
work was completed and have no problems with work carried out to date, and i would use again
Amazing! Took my car in for diagnostics at £36 to find I had a water leak coming from my brake servo. Job was completed with collection and delivery at a really good price of £120 minus my initial £36 diagnostics fee. Friendly helpful staff. Will never use anyone else
Attention! He is not an expert! He's done the job and left me with an unsafe car! I have expert evidence from other independent garages about that the car is dangerous because of the incorrect assembly and after all he is not helpful to rectify the problems. He gave me an appointment for three weeks to have a look on the car however when I've tried from another mobile number like if I'm another person there was an appointment for the next day! Do not let them to touch your car!
Really good . I used them for the first time so that was the first time I met him, and felt comfortable straight away. it took slightly longer than expected because of a faulty part which wasn't realy their fault. He worked bank holiday Sunday and Monday so I can't complain. Overall I'm really pleased and would use them again!
Thank you for prompt call. Have decided to not service the car. Very helpful service.
Worse garage out their, came to pick up car , charged me 350 for service and oil in diff, but did not solve or recognise the original issue, since not getting a refund I have paid for more diagnostics , gear mountings and been recognised as the problem, so if SA put my car on ramp to do work , then why was this not picked up ??? My advice steer clear of this garage at all cost complete rip off merchants
yes, He is exceptional.
Brilliant service from this garage, highly recommended. Replaced oxygen sensor and MOT
Yes, very good job. No issues, will use MC again.
Very good service all done on time to agreed price. Vehicle collected and returned on time.
Great service, extremely accommodating, gave me a lot of his time for good, honest and detailed advice. Recommended all around.
5 stars all round. 5.20pm rang about a having a new clutch fitted, it was done the next day. I thought the price was very good. The staff were really friendly. Car drives lovely. Very happy and would definitely go back.
Excellent service at a good price, will definitely use from now on
It is a Nice team, offering me a car to pick up children. Quick as promised, and will recommend to friends for sure,
Excellent service. Quick and professional with courtesy car thrown in.
Extremely friendly, very genuine so will certainly use them again.

Microwaved Rolled Rump Roast
Recipe by LAURIE
From my 25 year old microwave cookbook. I have made this many times especially during hot weather when I wanted a roast and didnt want to heat the oven. Remember cooking time is per pound so adjust accordingly to your roast size!!! Slices great for sandwiches.
Top Review by Leta8076
This dish has a very good flavor, the bacon gives the broth that little something extra for a delicious gravy. However, the meat was not as tender and moist as I would have liked. This is a good recipe if you are strapped for time, but we haven't quite found that recipe to replace oven roasted beef. :o) Thank you for contributing this time saver.

- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- 1 tablespoon browning sauce

I was recently commissioned to make a Minnie Mouse themed one by a friend. I can't even begin to tell you how much FUN I had making this little dress!
When I took this picture, I had forgotten to add a red with white polka-dot ribbon bow to Minnie Mouse's head, so imagine that it is there!
The first thing I did was create the Minnie Mouse applique in my Bernina Embroidery Software. This is such a simple design, since it is just three circles merged together!
I often have reservations about embroidering first names on children's garments, especially when the garment is going to be worn in very public places, full of strangers. Instead, I chose to just put the first letter of the child's name on the Minnie Mouse, which adds a safer personalization!
The lower border of the dress is a tiny black and white polka dot and black rick rack was added about 1" above the seam line.
Most pillowcase dresses you see are tied on the shoulders - altho it's cute, I'm not a big fan of the shoulder ties, especially on a baby or toddler....reason being, they just look too bulky and too easily come untied. I also don't really care for it to tie on one side at the shoulder - this also seems a little bulky and little hands can too easily pull the bow out. My favorite choice is this:
a bow tied in the back!
I love the look of a bow on the back of a little girl's dress and the tails of the ribbon just add to the adorable-ness of it all! The dress has one seam, which is at the center back and about a 6" opening is left at the back to make it easy to get onto a child without disrupting the way the ribbon is threaded thru the casing.
I have FREE instructions for making this style of pillowcase dress and you can find that HERE!
I also made a shirt for big brother to wear to coordinate with little sister.
I created the tie applique in my Bernina Embroidery software, then added in a small Mickey Mouse applique to the bottom of the tie with an initial. I think it turned out adorable! What I like about this tie applique is that all the edges of the applique is satin stitched and the "knot" of the tie follows the neckline curve of the t-shirt perfectly!
I think this disney-inspired set is one of my favorite brother/sister creations! I can't wait to see them modeled on the two little cuties that these are for!
The appliques will be available soon from Brer Rabbit Designs!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/3/2012 (1973 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm a fool for one man in this world and only one, but he is not my husband. I wouldn't cheat with any other man, no matter how attractive, but all this particular man has to do is walk into the room and I melt and completely lose it. I desire him at a cellular level where each atom is dancing just for him. I crave his touch. I am on fire for him! He used to be the principal where I taught, but I changed schools because we had an affair and he got found out by his wife. I have recently ended up on a committee with him and now I am going crazy again every time we have a meeting. How do I stop myself when I know he is all too willing to go another round? -- On Fire, Winnipeg
Dear Fire: The only way to stop yourself is to remove the temptation, which means quitting the committee, but you're not likely to do that, are you? You may understand it's what you need to do mentally, but your eyes are already writing cheques which your body is ready to cash. Very strong animal attractions are hard to beat as they don't respond to reason. Over the lifetimes of passionate people, there is often one sexual attraction that is simply non-negotiable, and the only way to stay apart is to be a long way apart. It is not necessarily a love relationship; sometimes the hot lovers annoy each other something fierce -- until they kiss. Then nothing will stop them. Good luck.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This is directed to Still Upset who is in a mixed-race relationship and endured a nasty racist remark at The Forks recently. I have been in this kind of relationship for the last four years, but it is me who is "White" and my partner is "Brown." Believe me, I have heard all comments and have seen all looks. The worst (coming from both races) are the unsaid reactions which include talking to only one of us while completely ignoring the other. But, some people are accepting of those differences. And being in a mixed race or mixed-culture relationship is wonderful as lines of communication are more open (they need to be!) so you are more emotionally intimate, you learn about other cultures and histories, and find out not all people of that "race" are the same. You acquire a new culture as your family, and learn new ways of looking at the world. A reply to a racist remark? Smile sweetly and say "Thank you for showing me I could always be as miserable as you are, ma'am." Their shocked expression will put a smile on YOUR face! -- Been There, Heard That, and Very Happy, Wpg.
Dear There:That's for taking the time to really explain the situation from the inside and offer an excellent retort. Too often we are so shocked by being insulted we can't think of anything smart to say until it's too late. Having a memorized line which you can fire out as a quick reaction is sometimes a good thing. But, it's not a good idea to stick around for a discussion as these people are not open-minded. Also, I wouldn't use the remark with more than one person, as aggressive people in a group can be dangerous.

The Story of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," Aerosmith, and Diane Warren
Last week, I was listening to an interview with one of my favorite rock bands, Aerosmith. The interviewer was talking about the band's monster hit "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," one of my favorite songs. I consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to music, and believe me, I am VERY aware that is VERY common for artists to not write their own music or lyrics. However, I was always of the impression that Steven Tyler had written the song about his daughter Liv for the movie Armageddon. I will also admit to being more than a little heartbroken that I was misinformed and had no idea that Aerosmith didn't write the song at all… So I decided to do a little research and figure out what the story was. The true story behind "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" left me mind-blown.

It is SCADstyle week at SCAD — one of the most exciting events for our school of fashion besides the senior fashion show that is held at the end of May. SCADstyle is a week where SCAD welcomes important luminaries in fashion, interior design, jewelry and more. This year, we had the honor of welcoming Alexander Wang at our Savannah campus. People started lining up five hours before the event on a very rainy day. Although I have to say the wait was absolutely worth it. I found this Fashionista in line waiting to see Alexander Wang. Her outfit stood out to me so I stopped her and asked a couple of questions.
Name: Jessica Ferreira
Major: Fashion Design
Year: Sophomore
CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing and where is it from?
Jessica Ferreira: I wanted to wear a fashion forward casual outfit for Alex's lecture today that was easy to wear in the rain. My white leather jacket is True Religion, the white button-down is Urban Outfitters, the pants are J.Crew, my crystal necklace is Free People and my shoes are Mojo Moxy.
CF: In honor of SCADstyle, what does style mean to you?
JF: Style to me is something that represents the courage of your own conviction by the way you dress and how you want people to perceive you. It's definitely something that becomes effortless over time and signifies who you are.
CF: What's your advice for those Fashionistas on a budget?
JF: I definitely have an extremely tight budget and always wait for things to go on sale and never buy full-priced items. I'm always happier when making purchases that save me 50 percent off from original prices.
CF: Why is fashion important to you and how does it impact your daily life?
JF: Fashion has always been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I am a huge fan of the CFDA because of how focused they are to support young emerging designers in the global economy and it gives me hope to someday make a name for myself and share my creativity with others who are also passionate about fashion. Fashion is something I think about when I wake up every morning and when I go to bed.
How To: To recreate this Fashionista's fun, easy to wear in the rain outfit you should start off by wearing a white button-down shirt from J.Crew. Opt for creamy-colored jeans from Gap and DSW oxfords. If you want to add a really good basic to your closet, save some money up and buy yourself a nice white leather jacket from True Religion.

Floral embroidered maxi dress with "V"-neckline in front and empire waist. Front of waistline is stretchy. 3/4-length bubble sleeves. Sleeve hems are stretchy.
Free People
dress you can wear pre and post pregnancy !!!
Love this dress. Bought one in rose color couple months before I got pregnant and looks great. Now I'm almost 7 months pregnant and fits comfortably. Great piece. FP pls make some more colors. I missed the blue color.
What's the difference?
I first ordered Gingersnap/Pearl Combo color of this dress. *last one in stock btw* Color was not as pictured. I then ordered the Ginger combo color because it did appear different in pictures and obviously under a different color option. I payed $20 in 2-3 day shipping as I needed it for an event. SAME EXACT DRESS. No difference in color. So now I'm out $20 for the expedited shipping of the same dress. A refund on shipping would be great as I have to go out of out my way to return one of the two exact same items I have purchased. The dress itself is nice.
Not for the large chested
The dress is gorgeous (I got it in the peach), yet it's not for the large chested - my boobs were pretty much cut off in the middle by the line. I could go up a size (I'm usually a FP size S), but then it would be even more roomy than it is. Returned.
Beautiful, boho, unique
This dress is so pretty, I have it in red with eye catching white flowers, I am 5 ft 7 140 lbs, bigger hips and bust, smaller waist, this style is very flattering makes me look longer and leaner and the tie at waist makes my waist look smaller, very femmine boho chic, I also have the black dress and I'm fair with blond hair both colors look very flattering on my type of coloring. I'd love the army green or liliac I've seen, I suggest this dress as one of the nicest styles, not overly flyboyant could wear casually, only complaint is made of rayon which WILL shrink, wish was made with a better material, love it thou :)
Don't wait
If you like this dress style and think you're really going to like it, get it, it is such a beautiful, timeless dress and so very flattering. I purchased the black and it is gorgeous, fits perfect and can be worn for so many different occasions. I'm not the kind of woman that buys the same dress in different colors but with this one I'm very tempted. I purchased the xs, I'm 5'6"/125lbs. Perfection.
in love with this dress. Detailed but not too much. Light fabric but not too sheer. I have a small ribcage but very large breasts (32DD)- I was nervous about getting a small because I'm usually a medium and I didn't want the chest to be too tight- but it is PERFECT. the tie gives it a beautiful baby doll silhouette- you will not feel like you are wearing a pillow case I promise. Get it while you can and Size Down!!!

Seventy-Three-Year-Old Queens Photographer Debuts 1964 World's Fair Photos in LaGuardia Community College Exhibition
Long Island City, NY—August 4, 2014—Charles "Carl" Barnett has taken thousands of photographs during his 73 years on the planet. But few people have seen them.
"I would print them a few of them and put them in a box in a closet in my house," said Barnett, a retired federal bank examiner who volunteers in LaGuardia Community College's photography program. " Most of them are on color slides. I would show some of them to friends using a slide projector when I visited, but that's about it."
That changed earlier this year after Javier Larenas, Tenured Senior College Lab Technician and Adjunct Lecturer in LaGuardia's photography program, happened to see Barnett sorting through some of his work.
"Is that the World's Fair?" Larenas asked, and Barnett said yes.
"This is how I was introduced to his work," said Larenas, who was so impressed with Barnett's 1964 World's Fair pictures that he and Gallery Director Lidiya Kan have put together Barnett's first exhibition, "Fading Images", a collection of 22 of Barnett's 1964 World's Fair pictures now on display in the LaGuardia Gallery of Photographic Arts, 1st Floor Gallery in the B-Building.
Barnett, who grew up and still lives in Queens, visited the 1964 World's Fair, held in Queen's Flushing Meadows park, a lot. "When I see these pictures it's like I am still there," he said.
Some of that déjà vu feeling stems from the people in Barnett's photos; his mother, stepfather, an aunt, a cousin, and even Barnett himself appear in the photos, which show forgotten World's Fair icons like the cable cars floating by overhead.
Barnett took some of his pictures with a German Voigtlander camera he borrowed from an uncle. While most of the photographs were taken with Kodak film, he also used Dynachrome, a new at the time (and since discontinued) film which, because of its color schemes, gave the pictures "an almost otherworldly look."
One of the five exhibition cases in Barnett's show includes three un-retouched Dynachrome images.
Larenas said the exhibition is important because "this happens to be the fiftieth anniversary year and we have a younger generation that doesn't even know that the World's Fair actually took place here in Queens. Plus, with all the World's Fair pictures I have seen, three quarter's of Carl's pictures are of things I have never seen."
"This is my life story," Barnett said. "I loved this Fair. Anybody who lived through this knows this was a magical time that brought the world to Queens - literally. A lot of people knocked it as overly commercial, but to us it was exciting. We didn't want it to end."
"Fading Images" will be on display until the first week of September. Larenas said "We are looking at other venues to allow Carl's photographs to be viewed by a wider audience."

Four years ago, Jean de Dieu's family was confused and distraught. The 14-year-old from rural Rwanda had tested positive for HIV, while the rest of his immediate family had all tested negative. While questions swirled around his home, the teenager just felt alone and depressed.
Jean de Dieu's father had been worried about his son for some time—he seemed to fall ill so often. So when a mobile clinic for voluntary counseling and testing for HIV came to a nearby school, the father quickly consented to having the boy tested. The clinic, operated by Partners In Health's Rwandan sister organization Inshuti Mu Buzima (IMB), delivered the unfortunate news. And the IMB social work team sat down to counsel both father and son about the results. They also quickly scheduled a home visit to assess the family's situation and to provide additional counseling and resources.
Jean de Dieu's father had previously been tested, and knew he was HIV negative. Thankfully, the IMB team found the rest of the family—Jean de Dieu's mother and sibling—had also tested negative. But the family was still perplexed and scared—how had the boy become infected?
For Jean de Dieu, the initial confusion soon gave way to depression. A stellar student, he contemplated abandoning his studies and giving in to the disease.
To add to the family's woes, Jean de Dieu's mother, while HIV negative, was very ill—she hadn't left her house in over a year. IMB clinicians found that she was suffering from advanced cervical cancer, and did not have long to live. She passed away soon afterward.
Griefstricken and unable to cope with his wife's death and what he felt was his son's impending death, the father abandoned his family.
IMB's social work team had their work cut out for them. However, they've had years of experience helping many other children living with HIV, just like Jean de Dieu. They quickly arranged for continual counseling for the entire family, highlighting other possible causes of HIV infection. And while finding out how he had gotten infected may remain a mystery, helping the teen regain his health was certainly attainable. IMB ensured that he was put on an ART regimen, and assigned an accompagnateur to help make sure he has the support he needs to adhere to it. They also convinced Jean de Dieu to join a weekly counseling group for HIV-positive children.
At the group meetings, the boy discovered that the other children seemed to be healthy, happy, and living full, ordinary lives. Moreover, the other kids understood what he was going through. There was no judgment or stigma—only support. "I cannot miss the counseling sessions," he asserts. "I am very happy when I am with them, because we all understand each other."
The IMB team knew that another aspect of Jean de Dieu's treatment was to make sure that he continued his studies. They supplied school fees and supplies, as he no longer had his father to support him. Jean de Dieu didn't let the IMB team down—he graduated from primary school as the top student in his class, and enrolled in secondary school.
Meanwhile, IMB continued to try counseling his father. And when he saw how Jean de Dieu had begun to flourish, he returned to his family and began attending the counseling group meetings with his son.
Now 18 years old, Jean de Dieu has a completely different outlook on HIV than those dark days when he was first diagnosed. "I am HIV positive and I'm still alive, because there are drugs for what I'm suffering with," he says. "I now have a future to look to," he adds, crediting his counseling group. "I want to be a doctor in order to assist other children with chronic diseases."

Speculation over the cabinet shuffle continues. The CEO of American Express, Kenneth Chenault, is being considered to replace Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Blooomberg News reports.
Geithner has indicated he will step down from the top spot at Treasury early next year. White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew is considered a top contender, Bloomberg reports, but the Obama administration has discussed the possibility with Chenault, who Mr. Obama knows well, as he is a big Democratic donor and serves on the president's jobs council.
Other cabinet positions that are expected to turn over - Secretary of State and Defense Secretary. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is a top contender to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, CBS News has reported. As for Defense, former Sen.

James Hinchcliffe has been cleared to return to racing by IndyCar medical consultants following the concussion he sustained at the weekend.
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
The Verizon IndyCar Series' medical consultants have given the okay for Andretti Autosport's James Hinchcliffe to get back behind the wheel of the #27 United Fiber & Data Dallara-Honda at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"It's been a long couple of days sitting at home and not even really watching," said Hinchcliffe. "I was banned from electronics and I was getting little updates and snippets here and there, and that made it tougher because you don't know exactly what's going on
"But I knew everyone was running and I was sitting at home," he added. "That was the toughest thing ... seeing everyone driving. It was the first time I'd been here for any on-track activity and it was tough to watch but it's all come good."
Hinchcliffe had received a concussion last Saturday while competing in the inaugural road course race at IMS, after he was hit on the helmet by flying debris from the shattered wing of Justin Wilson's car following a restart.
The official announcement noted that Hinchcliffe had been cleared to resume driving duties after passing the post-concussion ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) evaluation, according to IndyCar medical director Dr Michael Olinger.
ImPACT - the most-widely used and most scientifically validated computerised system for assessing concussion - tests neurocognitive functions including verbal recognition memory, design memory, visual processing speed, symbol matching, color matching and three-letter memory against a baseline reading taken before the start of the season.
"We ever surprised the doctors with how quickly we've been able to come back," Hinchcliffe said. " All of the testing has been good and everything we've done is pointing in the right direction, so I'm feeling good."
Hinchcliffe admitted to reporters that he had no recollection of events between the restart and waking up in hospital. "Unconscious? I believe I was momentarily, yes. I woke up in time to turn it, apparently, so that was lucky.
"My belief is that when the helmet was hit it went up and when it went up the front of the mouth guard hit my nose and jammed it up," he said, explaining a bruise to his nose. "There's a couple hours there that I don't remember, some of which was caught on TV for good and bad. Luckily everything since then has been good. I've had no real issues
"I woke up Sunday with a little bit of a headache, but other than that, not bad at all. I did a really intense day of resting, which is kind of an oxymoron, but a lot of sitting around," he continued. "By Monday, I was feeling myself. I felt 100 percent."
If he hadn't been able to pass the ImPACT assessment on Thursday it's unlikely that Hinchcliffe would have been ready to participate in this weekend's qualifying sessions for the Indy 500, which would have left him out of next week's race.
"Vacation over, back to work! So happy to be cleared to drive," Hinchcliffe posted on Twitter, adding in a team press release that "It goes without saying, I'm thrilled to be back."
In Hinchcliffe's absence, the #27 car has been in the hands of former team mate EJ Viso for the first five days of practice for the Indy 500.
Unfortunately just prior to the announcement that Hinchcliffe had been cleared to return, the engine in the #27 blew up and the team needed to take most of the rest of the day making the necessary repairs and changes before Hinchcliffe can get back into the cockpit for his first 2014 outing on the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
Hinchcliffe did finally get strapped into the car in time to make one partial installation lap before the end of the session.

Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher Brady Riggs was online Tuesday to answer your swing questions and analyze your swing videos. If you have a question or video link for Brady, come back next week for another editor of Ask Brady Live! Thanks to everyone for your questions and comments. We will be back at it next week so get those videos in early so I can be sure to get to them. Should be another great week here is Southern California. Thanks again to Mark and JC Video for all their help and support. David asks at 2:30: I am a plus handicap but am getting the club behind my hands halfway into the downswing, thus coming too inside out. It also seems that my right shoulder moves toward the ball just a bit early in the downswing compared to most tour players. Without a video to send, any thoughts/feedback? Thanks so much! The scenario you are describing is a bit strange. Usually when the right shoulder moves out toward the ball too early in the downswing, the hands are thrown out in the same direction and the club ends up too far outside the proper path. I would love to see a video of your swing so I don't lead you down the wrong path. Let me know if you can make that happen… Jerry asks at 2:05: Hello Brady. Someone told me to stick my butt out for a better turn. Can you get into it better and any drills to make it work? Thank you for the time you take to help the weekend warriors. Thank you for following the blog, Jerry. I have absolutely no idea why someone told you that. Were they trying to help your hips turn? Shoulders? Core? Not sure. Most "weekend warriors" would be well served to allow their hips to turn freely during the backswing. Trying to restrict your lower body's rotation and crank your upper body against it should be left for those very flexible and/or playing on television. If your weight is fairly balanced in both feet at address and your knees feel flexed and relatively bouncy, you are most likely in a decent starting position. Sticking your butt out will only help the amusement level of your playing partners in addition to their wallets. Once the set-up is better, the most simple advice I can give you is to try to "moon" the target with your tush during the backswing. This will help your hip turn freely and encourage the club to attack the ball on a more inside track. When you do this properly, your weight will move back into your right heel at the top of the swing. There are many swing methodologies out there that would have you start with the weight more on your front foot and leave it there during the backswing while you allow your head to remain centered or move slightly to the target. Don't do that. Turn your tush, stay bent over which will allow your head to move slightly off the ball (I will be tarred and feathered, for sure) and you will hit it better. Here are a couple of pictures of great players committing the two "fatal flaws" of turning their hips and moving their head. Let me know how it goes…. Matt asks at 1:45: Here's my swing, please let me know what you think. I know of two problems personally, my clubhead is too behind my hands in the backswing, and my head drops down and a bit back in the downswing. Sorry for the video seeming patchy, I had to edit it because it's from a video lesson I do with my local pro, and he comments on the videos. So I had to cut and paste the swing together at some points, I do not have those hitches in my swing. Of course the swings are in slower speed than normal. I am just looking for guidance on my stance, posture, grip, ball position, swing path, things like that. Thanks. Thanks for sending in the videos, Matt. It looks like the professional doing the lesson gave you some indication of where you could begin. While there are things to improve upon in your golf swing, it does appear the club is attacking the ball from a fairly good place in the video you submitted. The ball appears to be well back in your stance and your weight is sitting well back in your heels. When the ball is too far back and your weight sits in the heels, it is almost inevitable that you will take the club too far to the inside during the takeaway. This usually forces the club across the line at the top of the swing, triggering a transition that is too steep. Steep in this case basically means an extension of the club is pointing well inside the target line when your hands are just below your right shoulder on the downswing. The save for this is to slide your lower body to the target as it buys more time for the club to drop onto a more playable path. As a result, your upper body will get stuck through impact and hang back behind the ball excessively making it difficult to rotate properly through impact. This is the cause of your lack of extension and inability to finish the swing in a more traditionally balanced position. Hey, you asked!!!! So, here is the deal. It may seem like a daunting task, but you may read into my critique the fact that it all starts with the set-up. When you improve the starting position, your takeaway will improve as will the top and so on. Get the ball more forward in your stance and move your heels back away from the ball so your knees can bend over your toes. Once this is adjusted you will be on your way to making a better and more productive golf swing. The takeaway will need a bit more work to get on track but if you focus on maintaining the bends present in your left wrist from address to the top of your swing you will be well on your way. Get some video to me in the next couple of weeks so I can check on your progress. Here are a couple of pictures to help you visualize the changes. Nate asks at 1:20: Hello Brady. I'll keep it short and simple; how does my swing look to you? I know it is hard to tell much with a single camera angle and without high quality video or slow motion, but any thoughts would be appreciated. My miss is pretty consistent: a straight push to the right (w/ a slight right-to-left bias). I am thinking perhaps I have the ball too far back in the stance and am not getting around to square at impact.
Here is a "caddy view" to complement the down the line angle: Thanks for sending in the video. There are many that would love to have not only your golf swing but your consistent miss. Overall I think the swing is quite good. There are a few things that could be changed to make the swing more dynamic and consistent. Your grip is a bit on the strong side and the clubface appears closed at the top of the swing as a result. While many great players have played with this combination, it can be problematic for some and is often the source of the "right-to-left bias" you mentioned. The other issue has to do with the (lack) of participation of your lower body during the swing. Your stance is too wide, making a dynamic lower body move nearly impossible. I would also like to see your weight get more up onto the balls of your feet at address. Your weight is sitting back too much in your heel, making it very difficult to move properly during the swing. This will give you the "feel" of more bounce in your legs and encourage you to use the body more actively during the swing. The combination of a more neutral grip and livelier lower body will be uncomfortable and challenging to be sure. How much you should change things should be determined by your comfort level and the changes in ball flight that occur. Let me know how it goes…. Jack Stein asks at 1:00: Morning, I am a low single-digit index. However, at the top I cross the line, my left wrist cups too much and my right elbow gets behind me -- ouch -- I then come from the inside too much and too shallow. I have learned to hit the ball from this position; however, I would love to cure it. When I put the club to the top in a good position, I am able to swing with no re-route and my right elbow comes in front and I hit the ball better. Help? Please. Thanks, Jack Stein It sounds like you have a good idea about what you need to do with your golf swing. As a low single-digit player you face a unique challenge when changing the shape of your backswing. While the across the line position at the top creates its own set of issues you are able to deal with it and play well. When you make the changes to the backswing the results immediately become inconsistent, especially on the golf course. If you are certain you want to make the change, you need to adjust the way you practice and the expectations you have when playing. Take some time away from the course under competitive settings so you can remove the "result" component of the game from the equation. Work with the feedback of either your coach or a camera so you can continue to ingrain the changes you are making. Like any swing change you will have some ups and downs along the way but if you stay away from "results" based practice and play you will have a better chance of making it stick.

Imagine yourself on the banks of a fast-flowing river. The water is full of people being swept along, in danger of drowning. You and others are trying to haul them out. It is unrelenting work but at some point, someone asks, "What's going on upstream? Shouldn't we find out why these people are falling in?"
This is a well-worked metaphor for much of the British welfare state. Another oft-quoted metaphor is the idea of building relatively inexpensive fences at the top of the cliff rather than running costly ambulances at the bottom.
It's not as though the idea of "prevention" and "early action" has lacked airtime – the coalition government has pledged to set up an early intervention board. But the concept remains limited, associated in most minds with action aimed at the under-fives and at troubled families – such as parenting classes.
If the idea of prevention from harm is to have real meaning, the concept must be placed at the very centre of social policy thinking. That is a tall order, because it requires a willingness to tackle rising inequalities head-on.
My interest in the importance of prevention comes from work I have done on security, fear and distrust; researching the links between high-security environments and soaring fear of crime.
Fear of crime is a very important issue for politicians and policy-makers, who have attempted to reassure the public through a combination of CCTV, the roll out of private security and policies to "design out" crime. These measures ensure that high security now defines our public buildings, schools and social housing, with many housing estates resembling gated fortresses.
But the fear of crime is not linked to actual crime. It does not correlate with crime figures but with levels of trust, and very often these high-security solutions undermine trust between people and, in fact, increase fear.
The New Economics Foundation thinktank is launching a programme of work on the wisdom of prevention. It splits prevention into "upstream" measures that aim to prevent harm before it occurs and that focus on system change, which means tackling growing inequalities, poverty and polarisation of our communities. "Midstream" measures aim to mitigate the effects of harm that has already happened and focus on groups considered at risk or vulnerable – such as troubled families. "Downstream" measures cope with the consequences of harm.
Most social policy interventions focus on downstream or, at best, midstream measures, such as early action work targeting troubled families. Increased security is a downstream solution to fear of crime, which risks making the problem worse. Without tackling the underlying causes of harm, midstream and downstream measures can have little or no lasting effect.
Prevention, taken seriously, does not shirk the issue of rising inequality. It requires systemic change in every sphere across the policy spectrum.

Houston is the fastest growing major metropolitan area in the U.S. in terms of payroll job creation, up 3.4 percent on a year-to-year basis this June. As the center of the global petroleum industry, Houston has benefitted from sustained high global oil prices and from the worldwide boom in natural gas exploration. Global oil demand forecasts have been dialed down due to weak macroeconomic conditions in Europe, Asia and the U.S., but prices remain well above the minimums required to sustain a vital oil industry. The NYMEX price for WTI crude has climbed since mid-summer to $90-$95/barrel and Brent crude, the marker for international oil prices, has climbed to above $110/barrel. Natural gas prices in the U.S. are depressed from a rapidly increasing supply, now far below the $12.69/MMBTU (Henry Hub price) spike of June 2008, down to a low of $1.95 for this past April. Since late April, natural gas prices have increased to near $3.00/MMBTU as of early August.
As a result of low natural gas prices there has been a tailing off of exploration activity since late 2011. The U.S. rotary rig count for natural has projects has declined from 936 in early October 2011, to 498 by early August, 2012. Where natural gas reservoirs produce petroleum fluids (wet gas), high liquid petroleum prices may still support ongoing reservoir development. Recent drought condition across much of the U.S. may limit the available water supply in some areas for drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Houston is still attracting new energy-related industry, but a critical component of the metro area's long-term economic outlook will be its ability to grow non-energy-related industries, which will provide economic vitality and stability when energy markets are weak. A rapidly expanding population with strong income growth will foster gains in the non-energy sector. House prices have been firming through mid-year 2012, and are expected to continue to gain as home sales increase.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi. Thanks for using JustAnswer! I would be more than happy to chat with you about this. Can you tell me has this person been diagnosed and if so with what? Are they in therapy? Have the medications still being taken? Are they wanting to change? What is the age of the person?
I have been diagnosed with bipolar and personality disorder. However, at the time, I was not fully honest with my doctor.No I am not in therapy. No, I am not currently on medication. Yes, I definitely want to change. I am 34.
okay great! The first place to start would be getting a full evaluation by a psychiatrist and to be honest. They are not mind readers and can not help you with your symptoms unless you are fully honest with them. It sounds like you know that and are willing to be honest this time. It can also be helpful to keep a journal of your symptoms so you can give the most accurate record of what is going on. Sometimes when we get in front of the doctor we get nervous or we have felt fine for a few days so we are not necessarily lying but just kind of forget what we are really going through. If the medications were working last time I would suggest giving them a try again bipolar especially can be very manageable with medications. The next thing I would suggest is getting into therapy. This can prove to be very very helpful in both bipolar and personality disorders because it gets down to making changes that can be used in life. Especially with your desire to change therapy can prove very beneficial. Thoughts?
Okay. do you know any cyber therapist sites?
Yes here are a few http://www.liveperson.com/lp/onlinecounseling/online-counselors/?sale=10doff35&BanID=79859&gclid=CMO_xNT3lrICFUWc7QodsxEAiQ AND http://www.online-therapy.com/start/Online-Therapy.html?gclid=CKv8_uD3lrICFQif7QodM3oApg AND http://www.therapyworld.net/
ok thanks.

This is how I plan my nutrition for an ultra – I hope some of you find this information useful, or if not useful, at least interesting.
First off - a disclaimer. There are many people better qualified then I am to speak on this topic. I am writing primarily from experience, and a little from my exercise physiology background. This will be my 3rd year running ultras, so there are a lot of people more experienced than I. I do have a strong exercise physiology background, however none of the focus in any of my studies has ever focused on ultra-endurance sport.
So here goes…
I am using Gorge Waterfalls 100km as an illustration of the process I go through. Gorge Waterfalls is an out-and-back race and I am using it as a warm- up race for Bighorn 100M in June.
#1 – I look at the elevation change, distance, past results and terrain to determine how long the race is going to take me.
Elevation gain – 12 000ft (roughly 2 miles)
Distance – 100km/62 miles
Terrain – Pavement 10%, single-track trail with plenty of rocks/roots 70%, smooth trail 20%
Past Results –This is the inaugural year for this race so there are no past results. In 2012 I ran an out-and-back 50km on the same course in 5:09.
I figure it will take me at least 12hrs to complete the race. I know from experience that if I'm running longer than 6 or 7hrs I get really sick of sweets, so I'll need to work in some savoury food right from the beginning so that I am able to keep eating throughout the race.
I use this information to train for the race. On my highest volume weekend (2 o 3 days)r , I try to get 75% of the race time in – so 9hrs total. I can split it up however I want, this time I did a couple weekends with 6hrs one day, 2-3hrs the next. I build up to this volume methodically and I never run through pain because I am terrified of injury. I know that I will want sweet and savoury foods during the race, so I eat the same foods during my long runs/hikes. I eat a wide variety of foods whenever I am trail running because I want to train my stomach to be able to handle anything.
I can also use this info to further break down my dietary needs. I burn roughly 100cal/mile. The race is 62miles long plus roughly 2 miles up. At the very minimum I would burn 6400 calories. Add in the extra calories from running 2 miles downhill and the technical terrain. I would give it a rough estimate of 7000 calories for the entire race. 7000cal/ 12hrs = 583 cal/hr. There is no way I could eat that much while running.
I know from experience that I can eat about 300cal/hr before my stomach starts to rebel. 300cal x 12hrs = 3600 calories. I will probably (definitely) also stop running to graze at the aid stations so we will bump that up to 4000cal. Now I have a 3000 calorie deficit.
There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat. I am lean, but I'm not that lean. It's okay if I lose a pound of fat J The key here is that I need to run at a low intensity so that I am burning fat as my primary fuel source instead of carbohydrates. Your body does not have huge carb stores, like it does with fat. If I'm running a 3000 calorie deficit and I'm burning carbohydrates as my main fuel I will bonk really badly.
#2 – I break it down into smaller portions - aid station to aid station.
I factor in elevation gain, distance and terrain between aid stations. Based on these criteria I try to figure out a realistic pace. For this example I'll do half the aid stations.
Start to AS#1 = 6 miles, 1500ft climb, 1500ft descent. Pavement and non-technical trail.
It seems reasonable that I would complete this section in 1hr (12min mile). I need to eat 300-350cal and drink 5-600ml of water. I usually drink between 600-800ml an hour during a race, largely dependent on the temperature. The temperature at 4am when the race starts will be near freezing, I'll just be drinking enough water to help wash down the food.
I can carry 500ml of water in the front bottles of my pack so I will leave my camelback empty during this part of the race to reduce weight. Bottles are also easier to fill at aid stations so it should be a quick transition at the next aid station.
AS#1-#2 – 6.5 miles. Rolling, technical trail.
There are no big climbs on this section so I'll likely be a bit faster, but there is no pavement and the rocks on the trail are awkward to run on – I think I'll run it in around 1:15 (11:40min mile). I need 350cal and 5-600ml of water.
AS#2-AS#3 – 10 miles. 2miles flat pavement. 8 miles non-technical trail with hills.
For the paved miles I'll run around an 8:30mile. I remember that at the 50km in 2012 I was running around 7:30 pace and I was feeling great so I'm hoping that happens again J. The hills after the pavement are steep enough that I have no intention of running them. The last 8 miles will be around a 12min pace. I'll also probably have a little energy slump in this section so I'm predicting it'll take me 2hrs (12min mile) despite the road running. In 2hrs I'll eat 6-700 calories and drink about 1.5L of water. I will be filling the camelback here.
AS#3-AS#4 – 8 miles. About 1500ft of climb, equal descent. All of it is trail, I don't know if it's smooth or technical.
I think I will run this section in about 90min (11:15min mile). I will be excited to get to the turn-around point, and the climb is broken up into sections so I anticipate my pace will pick up a bit. I will need about 500 calories and 900ml of water. I can get away with just finishing off what is left in the camelback and filling up my front bottles. It'll be nice to hike with a lighter pack.
#3 – Drop Bags – I use the aid station to aid station break down to decide what I need in my drop bags. You can have drop bags at all the aid stations but I think that is excessive. 2 drop bags (one for every second aid station) should be fine.
At the start line I will carry enough food for the first 2 aid stations, about 700cal. I divide my food into little Ziploc bags, 300cal each. I try to eat a bag every hour. Common foods I have in these bags include crushed potato chips, gummies, Swedish Berries, sesame snaps, Twizzlers, Oreos, peanut butter/nutella wraps, Jelly Beans and chocolate covered almonds. I usually also have a few bars (eg Bonk Breakers) and gels.
If I'm sticking to the plan I will be out of food when I reach the first drop bag at 12.5 miles. The distance between the drop bag #1 and #2 is about 4hrs. I will grab 4 of those pre-packaged Ziploc bags for the next stage of the race. This is also where I can ditch my headlamp and hopefully ditch my long-sleeve shirt. I'll also have socks and shoes in my drop bag in case I need to make a switch.
The pre-packaged food system works extremely well if you want to get in and out of the drop bag area quickly. I rarely take more than a minute.
Some additional notes:
- I bring an empty Ziploc bag with me to fill with aid station food so that I can just fill it up as I walk through the aid station and eat on the trail.
- I really enjoy drinking Coke at the aid stations. At Pine to Palm last year they had cans of Coke that I could take "to go." Most races don't have cans, but now that I have a pack with front bottles I'm going to try filling one of the bottles with Coke at the aid station so that I can bring the pop with me.
- If I need a mental break to "reset" and get myself back in the game I'll have a seat and drink a beer. Alcohol is the most quickly absorbed sugar into the body, so if you're feeling tired because of low blood sugar this should fix it. It makes good scientific sense J
- For fluids (during moderate temperatures) I generally alternate water and ½ strength Nuun mixture. I drink to thirst.
I am interested to hear about how other people figure out what to eat during a race. Most of my strategies come from talking to experienced ultra runners. Not a lot of scientific research has been done on ultra-distance running so I think the best way for us to improve our knowledge is to share what has and hasn't worked for us.
Happy Trails!

Teresopolis: Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari tried to pick himself and his players up on Wednesday, saying they were still winners and that life must go on following their shattering 1-7 World Cup semi-final defeat by Germany.
"I know what happened, I know what it is to feel ashamed, I have a feeling this will never leave me, but my life goes on," he told reporters at the team's training camp. "The players will get on with their lives, they are still winners."
"Our life is not made from defeats, this was the worst of all, but life is good, nobody will die because of this."
"We win together, we lose together, there are good moments, there are bad moments," added Scolari, who appeared alongside the entire coaching staff including technical director Carlos Alberto Parreira.
Scolari, who is in his second spell as Brazil coach after leading them to their fifth world title in 2002, said he had not discussed his future with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
He said he would only talk about the situation after Saturday's third-place match in Brasilia.
"I'm not thinking about it now, and I wasn't thinking about it at the start of the competition," he said.
" We know that Saturday is not going to change much following what happened Tuesday."Brazil media have begun speculating about Scolari's replacement, naming Tite, Muricy Ramalho and Vanderlei Luxemburgo as the favourites to replace him.
Tite, currently without a club, won the Libertadores Cup and Club World Cup with Corinthians, Ramalho has also won the Brazilian title with Sao Paulo and former Real Madrid coach Luxemburgo led Brazil for two years after the 1998 World Cup.
Parreira, who coached Brazil's World Cup-winning team in 1994, described Tuesday's game as a "tsunami" after Brazil conceded five goals in an 18-minute first-half spell.
"Yesterday was atypical, a tsunami happened here," he said."(Goalkeeper) Julio Cesar got it in a nutshell when he said that you can't explain the inexplicable.
"Brazilian football is very strong, it's big, it has survived crises bigger than this and it will bounce back."
On Tuesday, Scolari had taken the responsibility for the embarrassing loss of his star-studded side. "I think it was the worst day of my life," he had said.
"Please excuse us for this mistake. We are sorry we could not get to the final. Who is the one responsible? I am," he said.
Heartbroken captain David Luiz also apologised to the nation.
Germany: Manuel Neuer; Philipp Lahm, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels (Per Mertesacker, 46), Benedikt Hoewedes; Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sami Khedira (Julian Draxler, 76), Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil, Thomas Mueller, Miroslav Klose (Andre Schuerrle, 58)
Brazil: Julio Cesar; Marcelo, Maicon, Dante, David Luiz; Luiz Gustavo, Fernandinho (Paulinho, 46), Bernard, Oscar, Hulk (Ramires, 46); Fred (Willian, 69)
Man of the Match: Toni Kroos
Referee: Marco Rodriguez (Mexico)

Iron Chef Cat Cora and family posed for some "red" carpet pics on Sunday (February 19) at the world premiere of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax at Universal Studios in Hollywood, Calif. Cat and her wife Jennifer are proud mamas to their four sons Zoran, Caje, Thatcher, and Nash.
The celebrity chef recently spoke out against Cynthia Nixon's highly criticized remarks that ""homosexuality can be a choice."
"I'm gay, and I was born this way," the Food Network star stated on the CBS daytime show The Talk. "So, I really feel like it was dangerous and irresponsible of Cynthia, especially in this environment today when so many young people are taking their lives."
"I know growing up as a young gay person how much you hate yourself," she continues. "How much you already think you're different. And for someone to say, 'It's a choice, you can be this way or that way,' I think it's dangerous and I ask Cynthia to please, reach out to the community and say – to all the people who do hate themselves right now, all the young kids who are impressionable – to say, 'You're OK, take it one day at a time, it gets better.'

Which answer choice below continues the series?
[Will unmask submitted answers sometime this weekend]
Number 2
Answer is 2
This one is the easiest puzzle ever
1st square: 3 arrows, 3 circle
2nd square: 4, 2 circles
3rd: 3, 3 circles
4th:4, 2 circles
5th:3, 3 circles
So the sixth is obivously the image #2, because it's the only with with four arrows and 2 circles.
i showed my mom about this because she likes brain teasers and she got 2.
The pattern is 3 arrows, 4 arrows, 3 arrows, 4 arrows, 3 arrows, and 2 has 4 arrows and the shapes stay the same.
the answer is number 2
it's 2….why can i only get the easy ones?….or am i still wrong?
Well, I reckon it should be 3
Yes, the answer is 2.
For those who thought this was too easy, I have a harder series question coming Monday morning
but then that might be too hard…..
Right, the pettern, indeed a nice way to get the answer from the sheet, I bet less people would have gotten the final answer if the answer weren't given.
Meaning that you should find how the final figure looks.
I got this one though, it's definitely 2.
(Bottom changes, top changes, second from bottom changes, second from top changes, and so on)
Anybody have thoughts on this?
[…] Ok, for those who found the Pin series puzzle too easy, hopefully this will give you more of a challenge: […]
My answer is 2.
next series is 2.
Couldn't the answer possibly be five also? Think of it this way: from A to B, the bottom pin turns into an arrow, from B to C, the arrow turns into a pin, from C to D the fourth arrow turns into a pin. Since you've already changed to bottom insignia you leave it alone. Continue this pattern, working your way to the middle until you have nothing else to change and you're answer would be five. Couldn't that work?
From B to C I meant the top arrow.
[…] The Pin Problem […]
Apparently I'm way behind the times here, but I think that 5 might be a viable option as well. As long as you presume that after 5 iterations the symbol switches from an arrow to a dot or vice versa.
I would discount this, however it is evident that in none of the rows does a symbol switch from arrow to dot more than once (if at all, hence 5 iterations being the magic number), which would be a possibility were option 2 the proper pattern.
eg. Set 6 would be as follows:
Of course, it's probably just coincidence, or maybe I'm just crazy. There might even be another pattern/option that can complete the series.
– Mike
I realize that Kyle also thinks it's 5, but I'm not sure I understand his reasoning, so I'm putting in my own. :P
answer 2, 3/3 4/2 3/3 4/2 3/3 ( 4/2 )

About the Book
From the Introduction:
On the surface this book is about homelessness.
Every person in this book is or has been homeless. Unfortunately, photographing the homeless has been done to the point of cliché and here is another book of photographs of the homeless.
Troubled childhoods, addictions, poor decisions. All of those things jump into the minds of many when they think of the homeless.
What interested me most was who these people were outside of that frame and especially their similarities to those of us with families, jobs, and homes. Who were they now? How were they surviving? What was it that allowed them to keep going?
This book is also about searching. For some that is looking for a place to stay, for food to eat, for a friend. More than anything though it is about family. Not having one. Losing one. Making one.
On the inside this book is a family album.

Skru-Tyte TM Earth Auger Mounting Systems is a revolutionary way to install vertical uprights for such things as fence posts and poles, mailbox poles, flag poles, bird house poles and a multitude of similar applications.
Made from 1020 steel and zinc coated for longevity, this product promises to deliver superior quality, performance and ease of installation. With no need to dig a hole and mix concrete to install it offer speed, safety and reduced labor. Additionally is provides both temporary as well as permanent installation configuration.
Primarily designed for a wide range of soil types, it is least appropriate for installation in solid rock or ice. This product is not adversely affected by temperature. Simply screw it into the ground and the hollow base accepts the pole.
Not only is this designed to be installed vertically in the ground but also for horizontally in an embankment or shoreline.
Private testing has revealed superior in-ground stability to similar concepts. The conical shape of the fuselage provides "soil packing" when penetrating the soil, compressing the soil tighter and firmer. The screw flightings reduce soil disruption and self penetrating features that provide stronger lateral load support. Grip-grab testing evidenced superior holding strength from 4,000 to over 15,000 lbs in respective soil densities.
The collet collar and cap offer compression type holding power for any configuration of post or pole. It tightens against round or square tubing and from any composite material, metal, wood or vinyl. As shown the auger receives pole dimensions from 2 ½ to 1 5/8 inch, with task specific adapter collet sets available
Skru-Tyte comes complete with auger fuselage, compression ring collet, cap and insertion adapter.
Installation tools are ¾ drive extension and ratchet. The auger can also be installed with power tools such as impact guns, hammer drills, auger drills or small power tractors.
Faster, safer, easier, cost effective and quality assured are among the features Skru-Tyte TM Earth Auger Mounting Systems offers for vertical upright installation of the" here and now" and the future.
