Report: Mass production of sapphire glass screens for the Apple iPhone 6, to begin this month
Back in June, brokerage giant J.P. Morgan passed along to its clients, a report stating that Apple might use sapphire glass on the 128GB version of the 4.7 inch Apple iPhone 6. KGI securities' Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, said earlier this year that the 64GB version of the 5.5 inch iPhone 6, would be the only model that could take advantage of the sapphire glass. Both comments indicate that less expensive models of the phone will be relying on Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
If Apple is going to use sapphire glass only on the priciest cuts of its meaty smartphone, it would also explain why a front panel, purportedly belonging to a 4.7 inch iPhone 6, was able to be scratched by sandpaper. Sapphire is one of the hardest materials on earth, surpassed only by diamonds, and should not receive a scratch from sandpaper. Early this year, we told you that Apple had received a patent for a process that cuts sapphire wafers, allowing the material to be used in consumer products.

Good. Thanks for the great news.
Now, where is the regular bashing Samsung article? Can't wait.
2. HamzAmin (Posts: 81; Member since: 15 Aug 2014)
I don't think that news is true as Apple would have done that at this point of production. One month left in the launch and they are manufacturing the glass NOW? Either this news is for the later 5.5" or fake...
3. Finalflash (Posts: 3527; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
I doubt we'll see sapphire in any model of the iPhone 6. Seeing as how we are less than a month away from release, to produce and then add the screens to their respective iPhones now would just be a ridiculously quick job which isn't how you make reliable devices. The sapphire is likely only for the phablet iPhone the watch (one of which definitely exists). Making two different iPhone models withing a single line is way too much confusion for consumers and isn't really Apple's way.
4. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
Selling more of 64gb version make sense. It's just Apple's way.
I doubt , though, if there is sapphire display AT ALL. Even doubt 5.5" iPhone.(not this year at least)
All that rumors are more like just pumping the APPL stock.
7. Finalflash (Posts: 3527; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
They can't though, putting a sapphire display on a chassis designed for a GG display would mean it would have to accommodate a thicker piece of glass. That would require a different design altogether. It would also make that iPhone that much thicker and dimmer and what not. If they actually do that, they will probably harm themselves more than help.

It's still possible.
But you have a point, and I tend to agree with you here.

Jeremy Scott copied Jim Phillips. We called it, and the rest of the interwebs caught up, including the folks at N.H.S., who sent this out yesterday:
We are having a problem with this person ripping off Phillips and Santa Cruz artwork. Please help us spread the word. You can use the information below.
This is the image that kicked it all off, we did not produce this link or the attached image of it, we are not sure who did produce it
Read the rest, after the jump.
We had never heard of Jeremy Scott until it was brought to our attention. This is not a collaboration or under license, nor did we or the Phillips family approve the use of this artwork on his apparel designs in any way.
It's obvious to us, the Phillips family, the fans of Jim Phillips Sr. and Jimbo Phillips, and fans of the brand Santa Cruz Skateboards, as well as many in the global skateboard and skate art community that there is clear and obvious infringement by Mr. Scott. We are discussing this with our legal team to determine our next steps.
These two artists and this brand are iconic. Any true fan of skateboarding will tell you how the Phillips artwork style, this brand and the activity of skateboarding has positively influenced their lives. It may just be artwork to Mr. Scott, to be used and thrown away by next season, but these artists and brand mean a lot to many people around the world. And by the looks of the outcry on social media, skateboarders and non-skater's alike are angry to have two of their most favored artists and one of the original true skateboard brands violated in such a way.
I hope that Mr. Scott sees that his actions have hurt and affected many people, including the Phillips family, and that he has also severely damaged his own reputation. It is not too late for him to do the right thing, as an artist and creative person, and fix his error in judgement.
Many people have concluded that Jeremy Scott must have obtained a copy of Jim Phillips Sr. book "The Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips" published in 2007.
There is some obscure art in the book that Jeremy Scott lifted and it could only have come from that book.
Thanks for helping expose this. Let me know if you need anything else.

the rip off is bad…
if your going on the rob do it properly FFS.
Why are skaters shocked by this rip-off…the skate world has been ripping-off everything possible since the early 90's…from Winny the Pooh, super Mario, Dr Seuss to the whole Walt Disney collection…ripping off art is an awfull thing…The Phillips have always done their original art and they sure dont deserve that bullshit, but if you ride boards with knock-off grafics…SUAS
I'm not shocked. I just hate the retarded world of "fashion" so much. In the immortal words of Mickey Rourke from "Barfly"…"why did it have to be Eddie?"
Agreed. To each their own and all that, but I can't begin to understand it.
jim phillips openly ripped off art for his MOST iconic boards like the grosso bat outta hell…and i actually like phillips
true, skateboarding has borrowed from other forms of art countless times, but for this "designer" to put out multiple designs all based on phillips' work is ludicrous, it's a blatant copy and disregard for another's work. Say what you will about phillips, but his work is iconic, relevant, and he has a truly defined style that is very recognizable and for someone to appropriate it all for some stupid shirts and not give credit (or profit!)is very, very lame, if not outright criminal.
Ugly as hell.

Just when we thought we were done with Supercross… On the eve of the final round of 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross last weekend at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV, series promoter Feld Motor Sports released the 2015 schedule of events for the series and announced that two venues have been added: Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, and Petco Park in San Diego, CA.
Intended to allow racing fans to see the world's top Supercross riders in 10 different states and 14 assorted venues, the 17-race schedule will once again kick off at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, CA, next year on Jan. 3. For more than 20 years, Anaheim Stadium has been the site of the series' season opener and the venue is widely acknowledged as the "home" of Supercross. So much so that the arena will once again host three Supercross races during the first five weeks of competition and will continue to be the most visited Supercross city of all time.
What's new, however, is that the self-proclaimed premier off-road motorcycle racing championship will swap venues in San Diego, trading in QualComm Stadium for Petco Park, home to Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres. Furthermore, the series will also make its 2015 debut at Levi's Stadium, the arena for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
What all this means is that in addition to the three Anaheim rounds, Southern California Supercross fans will have four opportunities to go to the races. Meanwhile, several hours up Pacific Coast Highway, motorcycle fans in the Bay Area will have one more shot than usual at getting up close and personal with Supercross in '15.
But wait, there's more. Next year, Supercross will also make two stops at Atlanta's Georgia Dome. According to Feld Motorsports, the Peach State's race has hosted some of the largest-capacity crowds on the circuit in recent years. With this move, the Georgia Dome joins Anaheim Stadium as one of only two venues on the schedule with multiple race stops in one season.
Tags: Anaheim, Bay Area, Charlie Mancuso, Feld Motor Sports, Georgia Dome, Las Vegas, Levi Stadium, Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Motorsports, Pacific Coast Highway, Petco Park, San Diego, San Diego Padres, San Francisco 49ers"As Monster Energy Supercross continues to grow and expand its fan base, so does the championship schedule," said Feld Motor Sports President Charlie Mancuso. "We are proud to welcome two new state-of-the-art venues to the schedule with Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara) and Petco Park (San Diego) next season and we are excited to bring an additional race to the southeast with back-to-back Atlanta races."


text: DonRocks Posted August 1, 2005 I'm pleased to welcome Chef Cathal Armstrong as our next guest here. Cathal will be onboard for the next week-or-so fielding questions. Please feel free to begin asking questions now. Cathal, THANK YOU for taking the time to be with us - you have many admirers here, and you can count me as one of them. And here's a brief bio of Cathal: Cathal Armstrong, Executive Chef and Owner of Restaurant Eve (110 S. Pitt Street, Alexandria, Virginia, 703.706.0450, www.restauranteve.com) was born into a family with a passion for food. Cathal (silent t), a native Dubliner, grew up in a family unlike any other in Dublin at the time; they had a fruit and vegetable garden, ate plenty of garlic and had their own travel business. Through his father's eyes, during their travels, Cathal was exposed to many different countries, cultures and cuisines. According to Armstrong, "My father is a natural, a great cook." As they traveled to neighboring European countries, Cathal was introduced to the wealth of the food world. From the mountains of Spain to the piazzas of Italy, Cathal experienced the tastes and aromas of fresh paella and pasta, developing an appreciation of gastronomy. However, it was in France, at the tender age of seven, that Cathal began his annual student exchange and his food curriculum for life. Each summer, he lived with the same family, the Boudains', returning to the truffle farms, peasant food and local farmers gently tending their vineyards. Those influences taught Cathal the importance of fresh produce, the value of animals and respect for the land. At the age of 20, he and two partners opened The Baytree, a fine dining restaurant in the Dublin suburbs. Two years' tenure and a desire to learn more of his craft led him to America. Cooking school may have been in his future, but a quick stopover in the Nation's Capitol headed the agenda. Once in Washington, he was befriended by great chefs and decided he would stay 'for just a while.' For three years he worked in the kitchen of New Heights, a restaurant known for producing talent. Then he moved to Cities where the cuisine changed yearly. In 1994, the Spanish owned Barcelό hotel recruited him as sous chef of Gabriel Restaurant. 1995 found him employed as Sous Chef of the nationally acclaimed Vidalia restaurant under the tutelage of chef/owner Jeffrey Buben. In 1998, Jeffrey Buben opened Bistro Bis in the Hotel George, where Cathal took the reins of the new kitchen as chef. During the four years the kitchen was under Cathal's direction, the restaurant received local and national accolades. At Restaurant Eve, Armstrong presents his version of simple, straightforward cuisine, sourcing the highest quality ingredients. Almost all of their ingredients come from local producers who grow organic products and Cathal and his team scour the local farmers market every day. "Growing up on our farm, almost everything we ate, came straight from the garden", explains Armstrong. "Our food went right from the earth to the plate, maintaining their original flavors." In addition to the Bistro Dining Room, Armstrong's cuisine takes center stage in the Tasting Room. Guests may choose wither 5 or 9 course prix fixe menus. Highlights include the stunning Lobster Crème Brûlée with Baby Fennel and Tarragon Vinaigrette, which features a small pot of crème brûlée with a creamy lobster filling, a poached lobster salad with fennel and lobster bottarga aioli. One of the house favorites, the Braised Beef Short Ribs with Pickled Red Onions and Salsify, is cooked for 12 hours, so the meat almost melts in your mouth. Cathal has cooked for many notables, including Senator Kennedy, Former First Lady Hillary Clinton, Julia Child, Don Rockwell and David Bowie. His fondest memory? When he cooked a private dinner for President Bush, the First Lady and 14 of their closest friends and to hear, from the President himself, "So, when is your restaurant opening?" Twelve years after first arriving in Washington, DC, Cathal and his wife Meshelle have opened Restaurant Eve (named for their first child) in Old Town, Alexandria, where he lives with his two children who may someday utter the words, "My father is a natural; a great cook!" Currently five year old Eve looks at her baby brother Eamonn, smiles and says, "Don't worry…you'll have one next." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That chill in the air that greeted Baton Rouge residents Wednesday morning, though above freezing, was low enough to set a record for this date.
The temperature dropped to 37 degrees in Baton Rouge, breaking a record of 39 set for this date in 1983, said meteorologist Shawn O'Neil of the National Weather Service office in Slidell.
Around south Louisiana, other places flirted with records, but New Orleans Audubon Park was the only other one that made it, tying a record of 46 degrees set in 1962, O'Neil said.
Temperatures throughout the area should rise into the mid-60s Wednesday afternoon, he said. The forecast calls for 66 degrees in Baton Rouge and 64 in New Orleans.
"In a couple of months everybody is going to wish this day would come back," O'Neil said. "I'm enjoying it for sure."

On my last doctor's visit I found myself immersed in a copy of Reader's Digest from 1989 – my choices were extremely limited, as you might imagine. It was either that or a You magazine from 2001. Thinking about it now, the You might have been a slightly better choice, though I do miss those old-school jokes in the Reader's Digest.
You can tell a lot about a doctor by the reading material in his waiting room – well, I certainly believe you can.
Rummage through the pile of tardy tabloids on the glasstop table and you'll sometimes come across old copies of some exotic car magazines which I have no doubt are often purposely left there to remind us all about how much money he's making, in case we failed to notice the Jaguar in the car park.
Then, of course, there's the past copies of Garden and Home – no doubt from his wife, who may or may not be an amateur interior decorator, a hobby she pursues with her husband's cash.
This is the kind of stuff I speculate about in the waiting room.
Spend enough time in one and you'll have a theory for just about anything.
Doctors seldom keep to appointments. And I like to make up reasons in my head why they're always running late. A meeting with a Sars investigator? Closing a property deal? A secret liaison with a nurse? Who knows what these guys get up to.
Getting back to my last doctor's visit, it's eventually my turn and I'm ushered into the examination room where the doc greets me with the words, "So tell me what's wrong with you today?"
"Err, wait a second, isn't that your job?" I resist saying out loud.
The rest of the consultation is like an episode of Crossing Over with John Edwards – a whole lot of fishing and guesswork.
"Is your throat sore? Have you been coughing? Is your nose blocked?"
"Yes, yes and yes," I reply.
"Okay, you're got a throat infection, a cough and nasal congestion. I'm putting you on some antibiotics," he says while scribbling a prescription.
And that was that. I had to torture myself with old magazines and SABC1 for two hours in a stuffy waiting room to hear something I knew already.
But what did I expect?
The idealist in me still longs for the day a doctor will explain to me why I got sick in the first place, an explanation that goes beyond the usual, "you've picked up a bug".
But the realist in me knows that it's not in the interests of the medical practitioners or pharmaceutical companies to do anything besides provide temporary fixes.
The advent of antibiotics has basically allowed doctors to sit on their asses and let the pill do the work.
And if the pill doesn't work for some reason, then you send 'em off to somebody else. Next patient, please.
Maybe I should be grateful that my GP writes me a sick note and gets me off work, but I just can't help wondering what happened to doctors giving patients actual advice?
For instance, I have never in my years of going to doctors ever been told not to eat junk food. And I've often wondered why not? The truth is that doctors these days are too distracted to really care what you do in between visits.
If he is not in it to save orphans in Burundi he is in it for the money. Bottom line. I am not passing judgement here, I am just stating the facts.
You put yourself in his position. If you've spent six years buried in books while everyone else is having fun, then spent another bunch of years after that giving syphilis injections in public hospitals, you'd also not give a s**t once you entered private practice.
You probably would've also developed a sense of entitlement, a sense of, "I did my time, now you'll pay for my Maserati".
These days many doctors won't even look at you unless they see cash or a medical aid card first. It's strictly business. And why shouldn't it be? It's not like doctors are supposed to be humanitarian or something, right?
I heard a story once about a guy who arrived at a doctor's house with an axe in his head. The guy didn't have his medical aid card so the doctor gave him two aspirins and pointed him in the direction of the nearest public hospital.
They just don't make doctors the way they used to.
But what are our options? It's not like you can remove that brain tumour yourself. The vast majority of people place their complete trust in doctors and sit back and let them rape their medical aid savings without question.
Not me, though. Unless it's an axe-in-the-head scenario – in which case I'll be sure to carry my Discovery card – I will take my chances with Wikipedia and a trip to my local pharmacy.

Jenny's Faith
No longer available
Wide triangular lace shawl worked in two parts. Body of shawl is worked from apex to neck edge. Diamond Panel and lace edging are worked in rows down each side of shawl from corner to corner.
Though light fingering/sock is suggested, ANY weight yarn can be used. This shawl has not yet been worked up in any other yarn weight however, so yardage and size for other weights have not yet been determined.
This shawl has NOT been tested by anyone other than myself. However, I am going to release the pattern in segments. It is being offered for free due to life's circumstances right now preventing me from being able to work with testers formally. The pattern is fairly intuitive, and my best effort has been put forth in putting up a pattern that you can follow and enjoy.
At this time, I would not recommend this pattern for an absolute beginner. I am not a professional designer, and cannot guarantee that the format I use is beginner "friendly". This is not a difficult pattern by any means; this is only a reflection of my skills as a pattern writer.
Dates of Release:
Shawl Body (Part 1) October 1st
Diamond Panel (Part 2) October 10th
Lace Edging (Part 3) Oct 26
Thank you so much!!!! :)
There is a typo on Row 1 of pattern. Where it says "fan", it should say "shell". :)
UPDATE Part 3 will be available on SUNDAY OCT 26th…..RAIN OR SHINE! Thank you for your patience!

A Different Yardstick for Cable
Cable companies have almost never made money the old-fashioned way. Outfits such as $4.1 billion Charter Communications Inc. (CHTR ) have lost millions each year on a net-income basis. But the industry convinced investors long ago that it should be measured by a different yardstick. They substituted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), which magically portrayed cable companies, overburdened with capital investment, as moneymakers.
When it first came into widespread use back in the 1970s, EBITDA was meant to be a temporary measure, something to look at while a young industry built the infrastructure it would need to thrive long-term. By excluding the interest due on the money borrowed to build and the depreciation of the assets, investors could get to a number from which to better gauge future performance. That was the thinking anyway. Three decades later, EBITDA is still in place, sheltering companies from the harsh judgment a net-income calculation brings. And in an industry that sometimes traded assets like baseball cards, resulting in a lot of one-time gains, EBITDA had a smoothing effect. As time passed, investors became so comfortable with EBITDA that it was sometimes talked of as a proxy for cash flow, even though it expressly excludes many cash costs. Investors came to believe that, like cash flow, EBITDA was somehow safe from manipulation.
But then came WorldCom Inc. (WCOEQ ). The company has owned up to a staggering $7 billion in operating expenses that had been incorrectly categorized as capital investments,--thus inflating EBITDA--and there could be more to come. The question now is "whether Worldcom is just an aberration or whether everyone is playing with capitalizing expenses," says Lehman Brothers Inc. accounting and tax analyst Robert Willens.
That has sent investors searching for a more reliable measure for cable outfits. Some are adding capital expenditures to EBITDA to take into account the high cost of infrastructure. Others are starting with cash flow from operations and making the calculation, which adds in the effect of real cash outlays that EBITDA excludes, such as taxes and interest payments.
Analysts and money managers say that in a more cautious period, companies that want access to the capital markets will have to use these more conservative measures and abandon EBITDA. "Any company that chooses to still use this as eyewash, as a sleight of hand, is going to meet with investors who are just not going to accept it," predicts Harold Vogel, a longtime media analyst and critic of EBITDA who now heads Vogel Capital Management, a media investing firm.
And make no mistake, the new measures are tough. Take St. Louis-based cable operator Charter, which made $1.8 billion by EBITDA measures in 2001. Add in capital expenditures, and the number falls to a $1.2 billion loss.
So why haven't the new measures become standard? Inertia is partly to blame. EBITDA has become the default measure in a variety of companies, from airlines to media. Companies rarely put out full cash-flow statements at the time of their earnings announcements, so investors have to wait weeks until quarterly results are filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission to get the detail they need to calculate the more revealing numbers.
And some believe EBITDA is being unfairly lambasted. The backlash against EBITDA "is a fad," says Lawrence H. Haverty Jr., senior vice-president at State Street Research and one of the biggest media investors on Wall Street. Haverty still uses EBITDA, although he looks at other measures of value as well, including free cash flow, which can be used to make acquisitions or buy back stock.
Still, the concern about EBITDA is building. Viacom Inc.'s (VIA ) Chief Financial Officer Richard J. Bressler says that his company, which currently highlights EBITDA in press releases, may place more emphasis on earnings per share instead. A move like that could force the rest of the EBITDA pack to follow.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I wanted to make a photo card for our thank yous so that everyone who attended had a photo of my husband and I; further, I wanted to send a photo to all those who sent along a gift or card, but who could not attend. I think these turned out beautifully. The cardstock is a nice weight, it is the perfect size for terse and simple thank yous and I was impressed with the picture quality. Other reviewers complained about the sides not meeting up correctly - there is the slightest overlap when folded, but it is minimal and does not detract from the card. Would highly recommend."
"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"These cards were perfect for my shower thank you's. They are so pretty. The paper thickness was perfect. I have a few left over so I will probably use them for my vendors."
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"
"This is a really classy thank you note. I had people I wrote a thank you note to thanking me for the beautiful thank you."

what one if it was your cash ? i no the rs6 will easer to tune but whats the best drivers car ?
Haven't driven the m5 but of what I experienced in the rs6 it would need something special to beat it!
I would buy an RS6 in Avant form just for it's touring and loading ability in one in all conditions, not to mention it's a better looking machine in my opinion. I've never driver an M5, but been a passenger in one, and with a driver who 'knows' how to drive! It's frightening to see what one can do in the hands of a driver who knows what to do with it, but unfortunately, I don't quite have the balls to drive sideways round a tight roundabout in a £50k+ machine! Sounded fantastic too!!
They're not really competitors, the M5 is pretty old compared to the RS6 and the prices show that. If given e choice, I'd take the RS6 every time but if you're after pure driving ability, the M5 is the better car.
Totally agree, I've always loved the RS6.
A friend of mine was a Beemer driver through and through, but he got hooked on the A4 avant after seeing ours, so bought the 3.2.

Mamaroneck's stately brick train station, which just a few years ago was suffering from serious decay, was reborn Wednesday evening as a restaurant, lounge and office space.
A crowd of residents and local officials turned out for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour converted station.
(Photo of the newly renovated Mamaroneck Train Station, now home to Club Car Restauant and Lounge, by Ned P. Rauch/The Journal News.)
John and Chris Verni, brothers who live in New Rochelle and Larchmont, respectively, and are in the restoration business, bought the old building from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 2008. Over the following years, they brought it back to life.
"Too often, great buildings like this are torn down," John Verni said.
They preserved and restored what they could, saving, for example, the main hall's original fire place and stained-glass windows, and modernized wherever applicable. What had been one massive space now has two floors: the restaurant, Club Car, run by chef Brian MacMenamin, downstairs, and Verco's offices upstairs.
"You'd walk in here and say, 'What a shame they let it go,'" Village Trustee Sid Albert said Wednesday evening, recalling the station's condition before the renovation. "You could see the potential of what it could be, and they brought it back."
"I think it's absolutely phenomenal," he added.
We'll have more on the new old station, which was built in 1888, in an upcoming edition of the Sound Shore Express.

Volvo Ocean Race - Groupama and Puma battle for top spot
by Franck Cammas on 2 Apr 2012
Charles Caudrelier wearing alternative head protaction, onboard Groupama Sailing Team during leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 Yann Riou/Groupama Sailing Team /Volvo Ocean Race
Volvo Ocean Race teams Groupama 4 and Puma Ocean Racing are neck and neck at the front of the fleet on the twelfth day of racing in leg five, from Auckland to Itajai, at the 1300 UTC report today.
On this April Fool's Day, tricks don't appear to be on the menu off Patagonia. Indeed the quick, radical changes in the weather conditions suggest that it's time for strategic choices right now. And though like a shark, the Americans have homed in on their prey Groupama 4 this noon on Sunday, there is likely to be a way out with the arrival of a zone of high pressure right across the route to Brazil...
The climb up towards Itajai isn't going to be at all restful as the rapidly changing weather conditions along the Argentinean coast are being accompanied by the Andes cordillera phenomenon, leading to some separation between two major oceanic and climatic ensembles: the Pacific with some austral depressions, which stumble against the steep shores of Chile, and the Atlantic, which plays host to disturbances created to the South of Brazil due to the continental heat, to propel its way towards the Roaring Forties. As such there is a lot of movement in the air masses and consequently a great deal of alternation between the mini depressions, which are forming locally between Tierra del Fuego and Rio de la Plata, and the zones of high pressure which take over once these disturbances fill in and head off towards South Africa...
In this way, since rounding Cape Horn on Friday at 1300 UTC, Groupama 4 has been sailing in a moderate northerly breeze (15 knots), backing round to the North-West as it builds (20 knots) with gusts, then switching temporarily round to the South-West as it drops away sharply (8 knots) before shifting round to the South-East (12 knots) then to the East... And since noon on Saturday, the breeze has continued to oscillate with a south-westerly (12 knots), building to 25 knots before easing this Sunday morning to 15 knots, and then dropping right away late morning (5 knots) as it shifts round to the South! We can well imagine that the activity on deck has been endless in order to quickly adapt the sail area. The Americans have made the most of these conditions to make up their deficit since rounding Isla de Los Estados, but although the weather conditions were fairly different, the separation in terms of distance and time remains slight.
And this constant adaptation of the sail area is very unlikely to change before Brazil: the succession of climatic phenomena ahead of the duellists will call for quick reactions at all times, and doubtless some changes in hierarchy at the front of the pack in relation to the calms and the fresh breezes. Indeed, Franck Cammas and his men lost control of the fleet this Sunday morning, though the trajectories which had converged level with the Falklands have now split away again. Groupama 4 has positioned herself twenty miles to the West of Puma and though there is less wind at the end of the weekend closer to the continent, this is also the side where the fresh breeze will be the first to hit as it is shifts round to the SSW at over twenty knots.
Is it because the puma is very common in Argentina, and even in the Andes cordillera up to 5,000 metres up, that the Americans have regained their agility? Indeed, Ken Read and his crew have played this ascent really well since exiting Le Maire Strait. However, it's probably at the start of the week that the duel will further intensify: there shouldn't be too much lateral separation, but there will be some micro options which will cause the situation to yo-yo... Initially, it will be necessary to sail in front of the wind, before heading offshore to benefit for as long as possible from this vein of around twenty knots of downwind conditions.
A zone of high pressure will then settle in to the East of Rio de la Plata as it grows: at that point it's not going to be easy to choose the right trajectory, because near the Argentinean coast, it's a northerly headwind which will colour the start of the week. However, given that the high pressure will also distance itself from the continent, the way forward will be blocked offshore with the risk of a very big diversion to avoid falling into its centre where there won't be any wind. The first solution is the shortest but will call for a beat in strong winds. Added to that it is likely to prove a more conservative solution in the sense that the weather changes are rolling in from the West. The second solution is easier to deal with initially with some downwind conditions, but it could turn into a trap if the zone of high pressure continues to sprawl out over the coming days...
Standings on 1 April 2012 at 1300 UTC
1. Groupama 1,354 miles from the finish
2. Puma equal distance to the finish as Groupama
3. Telefonica 333.9 miles astern of the leader
4. Camper 1,503.0 miles astern of the leader

I absolutely love this tank top. It is so unique, fun to wear and goes with everything. The lucky girl can wear it with a tulle, overflowing skirt for a holiday party or with a pair of shorts or jeans for everyday wear. You'll be surprised at how fast this knits up! The only trouble you'll have is making sure the recipient is patient enough to wait the few days it takes to make this masterpiece.

Release date:
Chapel Hill, NC — Andrew Jackson, a second year SILS student has qualified for the 20th Annual Ironman Triathlon World Championship on October 3, 1998 on the big island of Hawaii.
The Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike race and 26.2 mile run, to be completed within 17 hours. Training for the race typically requires 18 to 24 hours per week for six to eight months to develop the stamina and endurance needed to compete in the 140.6 mile event. The Ironman Triathlon began in 1978 with only 15 competitors. Its explosive growth required race organizers to implement qualifying procedures in 1983. The race field is now limited to 1500 contestants due to the championship nature of the event.
Last year, amid 35 mph headwinds and 95 degree heat, Germany's Thomas Hellriegel claimed his first Ironman championship, crossing the finish line in 8 hours, 33 minutes and 1 second. He led a 1-2-3 German men's sweep. The women's race saw Canadian Heather Fuhr literally outrun the field by clocking the fifth fastest women's marathon in race history. Of the 1479 race starters, 1365 finished. Competitors ranged in age from 18 to 80.
Andy has overcome several major cycling injuries over the years to reach his goal of participating in the Ironman race. The SILS community is proud to offer its congratulations on qualifying and best wishes for success October 3.

PALMETTO, Fla. - At the Manatee School of the Arts, the words racing and physics are synonymous. The high school offers a different type of class that fulfills the requirement seniors students will need to graduate: the Physics of Motorsports.
You can't see it, but behind the helmets of a group of the high school kids on Monday at Anderson Race Track in Palmetto were beaming smiles.
"All our high achieving math students, 8, 9 and 10th grades have been rewarded for their achievement with a day at the track," said Physics of Motorsports instructor Frederick Hillier.
Hillier said it's not just about feeling the rush of cruising around a racetrack instead of being at school for these kids. It is also to help inspire the students to want to take the physics of motorsports course that Manatee School of the Arts offers, which includes a weekly visit to the track for hands on learning.
"At the finish line, we'll get a velocity," Hillier explained. "And then they're suppose to break as hard as they can for the shortest stopping distance. They'll collect the data, they'll go back to school in the next class, and they'll calculate what the g-force was of their deceleration."
The class also fulfills the requirement starting this fall of a chemistry or physics course required for graduation.
"It's Florida recognized standard physics course," said Hillier.
For students in the program, taking the class has helped them find more of an interest in a field that originally seemed unappealing.
"The physics program launches you in a great way into science but also into the motorsports path to where if you want to be you know an auto engineer or even a go kart engineer, it gets you a great start," said high school senior and MSA Racing Team Crew Chief Lauren Hall.
Nick Neri, who is also a student and a professional Go Kart Champion internationally, said the class gives him a whole new perspective every time he gets in the drivers seat.
"It's given me a much better understanding of the way everything reacts as a driver and being related to engineers much better."
In the end, instructors hope the class will get more students interested in pursuing a career in engineering and even lead to racing becoming a varsity sport.
"If we do that," Hillier said, "We will be the only varsity sport that's academically based."
Manatee School of the Arts is currently the only school in the entire country with a Physics of Motorsports class.

Aren't we in love with members-only (a.k.a flash) shopping sites? I know I am! And I definitely love the fact that a lot of them are finally catching on-curvy ladies love shopping too. Ideeli is one that caught on in 2010 and now they are regularly featuring special sizes. Yay!
The sales kick off every Wednesday at noon and feature designers like Adrianna Papell, Calvin Klein, Seven7, Antik, and more. They not only offer plus sizes, but they also offer petite sizes. Ideeli claims petite sizes are more underrepresented than plus! That's crazy! The fashion industry can't seriously believe on tall and thin women like fashion. I'm not even going to get started (LOL).

Berlin, Germany - Michael Schumacher's wife Corrina believes the former Formula One champion is getting better after emerging from his coma and being moved to a Swiss hospital in June.
In her first public comments since Schumacher's horrific ski accident on 29 December 2013, she told Neue Post that the improvement in the health of her famous husband was encouraging.
"It's getting better, slowly certainly, but in any case it's improving," she told the women's weekly while she was watching a horse-riding tournament.
Michael Schumacher, 45, spent 170 days in hospital in the French city of Grenoble after cracking his skull on a rock while skiing in an Alpine resort. Almost all of that time he was in a coma, and lost a lot of weight.
On 16 June, after finally being coaxed back to consciousness, the seven-times World champion was flown to a hospital in the Swiss city of Lausanne that specialises in care for brain injuries.

DETROIT - Local 4 Defenders have learned that admitted murderer Joe Gentz has been having problems in prison.
Documents obtained by the Defenders say Gentz has been written up in prison for threatening behavior and disobeying orders.
The latest incident involved horseshoes.
Gentz reportedly walked out of a storage shed carrying the horseshoes, and when he was told to drop them, Gentz allegedly got into a boxing stance and began swearing.
The incident which took place late last year is being reviewed and could affect his security status.
Gentz could find he will be allowed less time out of his cell or get fewer visits from his attorney.
Gentz has previously been written up for bad behavior in prison.
This pattern of behavior could mean Gentz would be viewed as an unreliable witness at the upcoming murder trial of Bob Bashara.
Gentz pleaded guilty to second degree murder charges for the killing of Jane Bashara. He has said repeatedly that Bob Bashara arranged with him to kill Bashara's wife.
Bob Bashara is already in prison for attempting to hire a hit man to kill Gentz.
Bashara's trial is scheduled to begin in March.
Bob Bashara has complained to the courts that he needs access to laptop computers to review evidence in the case. His requests have been denied. Bashara is also having problems with the attorneys representing him.
These latest developments involving Joe Gentz and Bob Bashara suggest the case of the murder of Jane Bashara will continue for many more months to come.

For my Master's Honor
Basic Information
Name: Nekura Susano'o
Nickname: Mystogan's Disciple | God of Storms
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Clan: Nekura
Looks: Susano'o is a very tall, 6'7 man, with white-silver hair held in place by a golden crown, simply showing off his self-righteousness. He has orange eyes and very dark, almost purplish skin tone, with the exception of the golden tattoo-like pattern which covers his right pectoral and both his arms. On his right pectoral is a blue tomoe-shape; his unique Mark of the Demon. While Susano'o never wears a shirt, claiming that it's "too constricting for battle", he wears armor on his waste over top of snake-skin pants and suneates on his legs, though he doesn't wear shoes, claiming that where he walks becomes "hold ground". Around his waste is tied his Nekura Cloak, which he will put on when fighting. Though this contradicts Susano'o's claim that "shirts are too constricting", he claims that the cloak is a symbol of who he is, as well as offering a wider range of movement than a shirt (this is often thought to be not true, but anyone who has argued with him about it left the conversation with a sword in their throat). From the time when he was a priest, Susano'o underwent an operation to have a ring of symbols planted on his back, as a sign of his devotion to the gods. However, now that Susano'o sees himself as a god, rather than a man who serves "god", the ring signifies his superiority above normal humans. He also wears a necklace of tomoe carved from jewels, which he acquired from the time he was a priest. When he began training with Mystogan, Susano'o came into possession of a strange sword which twisted and curved between its handle and blade. Within the twisting material, a space wide enough for Susano'o's hand exists, allowing him to use the sword like a bladed gauntlet. Susano'o always has a serious look on his face, keeping this expression so much that it has become a defining feature of his appearance; his stern, serious expression shows that he is always ready to fight, and that he won't let up.
Personality: Susano'o was at one time a very humble, diligent person who preached the word of the gods in the village of Minas Morgul. He was the mediator between "man" and "god", living a solitary life and keeping to himself. But when Mystogan met with him, and promised to make the man a powerful warrior, he was changed. The Juubi's foul chakra warped his personality, turning him from a humble, god-fearing, solitary man into a self-righteous, self-absorbed person, believing himself to be a god. However, while believing himself to be a "god", he calls himself a lesser god, and knows his limits in battle, while outside of battle his arrogance and self-righteousness knows no bounds. Now, Susano'o acts as he pleases, without regard for others, and does things for his own benefit. After the death of Mystogan, Susano'o became enraged and chose the life of vengeance, planning to grow in strength and to kill all necessary to restore honor to his master's name.

Background Info
History: During the Third Great Shinobi War, Amegakure was in chaos. Civilians fled, trying to save their lives, while soldiers fought on, not caring who was part of the war. One of the civilians trying to flee the village was a young woman named Mikoto Izanami. At the outskirts of the village, in a small rowboat, she and her two children, Mikoto Amaterasu and Mikoto Tsukuyomi, were mistaken for a member of the army using guerrilla warfare and two dolls or henge'd enemies. With the attack incoming, Izanami shielded her children with her body while using what weak ninjutsu she had to protect herself. Her boat was sunk and she had sustained critical damage to her own body. Everything began to go dark, before something touched her shoulder. Then, nothing.
Izanami awoke a few days later, rescued as a refugee in a land she did not recognize. Looking out the window, there was a world far different from the Amegakure she once knew. Then the owner of the home, and her savior, entered. She spoke with him, and learned that her young children were in safe care. She was very far away from home, in a land she had never heard of; the Land of Demons. Staying in the village, she eventually married the man who saved her life, having seen her first husband killed in the war, and had a son; Nekura Susano'o.
Growing up as the son of a Nekura warrior, and of a refugee from Amegakure, Susano'o was often looked at strangely by the people around him. He, like his older brother and sister, showed no immediate talent for ninjutsu or combat of any kind, and so they were given easy chores to make the lives of the people in Minas Morgul a little easier. While he didn't mind the chores, as they kept him busy, Susano'o always felt like there was something missing. At the age of sixteen, he decided to take the path of a holy man, preaching the word of the gods to anyone who would listen. Susano'o's gods, strange and all-powerful, simply caused more people to think him and his family crazy, and unfit for the Nekura name. But they did draw one man's attention. Up until the day he left, the boy known as Mystogan was interested in the strange preaching-man; not because of his words, but because there was something about him. Susano'o may have been older than the boy, but the kid was mature for his age; wise beyond his years. There would come a day when age did not define master and student.
Still more years passed before the man returned. Susano'o continued to talk about his gods all day, and it intrigued Mystogan even more. That this man would still be so set in his own ways... It stayed in the back of his mind, even after he left again. But the second time Mystogan returned, this time as the Mizukage, he confronted the "holy man" Susano'o. Saying that he could transform this weak mediator into a warrior, the masked man took Susano'o under his wing and began to teach. The first thing taught was the Nekura clan's secrets, and Keigoku. When the man was first introduced to the foul chakra of the Juubi, his mind began to snap. His mental ability went dark for a moment, and he couldn't perceive the events as they happened properly. When he awoke, however, there was a blue symbol on his left pectoral, surrounded by a golden pattern which extended down his right arm and continued onto his left arm. His once-pure skin was now tainted a dark, almost purplish hue; his own body being corrupted by the Juubi's chakra, as well as his mind. Asking what had happened, the masked man responded simply. "The only "god" you need to know, the Juubi, has granted you a gift."
From that moment onwards, the masked Mizukage would traverse back and forth between Kirigakure and Minas Morgul, taking care of a bit of business in Kirigakure, and then training Susano'o in the village of the Nekura. Even while Mystogan was away, Susano'o continued to train, that one moment opening a whole world of possibilities and power for him. Looking forward to sparring with his master every time he arrived in the village, Susano'o's days were filled with fighting, and gaining the respect of the Nekura clansmen around him. But on day, Mystogan failed to arrive when he had promised. Then he failed to arrive the week he promised.
Half a month after Mystogan had promised to return to Minas Morgul to spar with and train Susano'o, a messenger arrived to deliver the new; Mystogan was dead. A member of the Akatsuki, Kakuzu, had killed him in battle for the title Mizukage. Filled with rage, at Kakuzu for killing his master, at himself for not being there to aid the man he respected most, and at the messenger simply because he delivered the new, he did the one thing that would immediately satisfy him; Susano'o beheaded the messenger without warning. Taking his stuff, Susano'o left Minas Morgul without so much as a "good bye" to anyone in the village; he was going on his journey by himself.
As he traveled, Susano'o eventually made it into the mountain range of the Land of Lightning, where he met a nomad of the area. The traveling man didn't have much to offer the self-proclaimed "god". Taking his leave in the middle of the night, without so much as the intention to thank the man, Susano'o was discovered and attacked from behind. Outraged, he lashed out against the man, who then summoned a great snake to aid him in battle. But the attempt was pathetic. With his skills in Wind Release and Kenjutsu, Susano'o beheaded the serpent with a single cut, and killed the nomad he had met. Naming his unique blade after the accomplishment, "Orochi Slayer", or Great Snake Slayer, Susano'o continued his journey. Traveling south, Susano'o found his way to a small village Yugakure, where he entered an empty home and began to live. Forcing the original occupants to leave as they arrived, claiming the home as "territory of the gods", Susano'o began to ponder what to do with his life. He wanted to kill the man who slaughtered his master, but if a man such as Mystogan could be killed than this "Kakuzu" must be strong. Deciding that he was going to undergo training of his own before finding the new Mizukage, Susano'o took out a map and began to draw out his master plan.
Keigoku: Being a master of the secret Nekura techniques, Susano'o is quite adept in the usage of Keigoku. His portals, pitch black and ominous, create a Keigoku of a very dark hue. His special Nekura cloak is tinted with a deep purple shade, signifying his prowess with Keigoku.
Nature Transformation: Susano'o is a well-versed shinobi, being able to mold chakra of all five basic elemental natures. However, from his mother he inherited an affinity towards the Wind Release, allowing him to utilize Fuuton techniques with a single handseal. Another advanced nature element Susano'o inherited from his mother is the ability to manipulate the falling rain as his own weapon, allowing him to turn both the wind and rain into his proverbial halberd, which led to his moniker "God of Storms".
Kenjutsu: While Mystogan was away, Susano'o trained his body in the art of the sword, taking lessons even in the mountains of Kumogakure to improve his swordsmanship. Through rigorous training in the harsh terrain, Susano'o became a very able swordsman. His blade, Orochi Slayer, is decorated with a winding transition between the handle and the blade itself, with room for one's hand to slide inside. Instead of having a sheath, when Susano'o needs to fight with something other than his sword he will often simply slip his left hand into the curved "gauntlet" while at the same time he can swing his arm and use the blade as a true extension of his body.
Genjutsu: Being a disciple of Mystogan, Susano'o was trained diligently in the art of illusions. His skills and studies with genjutsu have imbedded themselves so deeply in Susano'o's subconscious that he can perform the handseals for illusionary techniques faster. His speed in casting illusions makes it easier for him to use in a closer range, allowing him to combine his swordsmanship and illusion casting to become a fierce opponent. Despite enjoying the art of the sword more than the art of illusions, Susano'o uses genjutsu and keeps up his training with it so as to not become dull as it is one of the few links he has back to his deceased master.

Hi I recently had rhinoplasty just over a week ago. I was content with my previous nose but just wanted the slight hump removed on my bridge and a bit of my bulbous tip made slightly smaller.
im unsure wether or not I will be happy with my nose as I do understand it takes a while to settle. At the moment however I'm unhappy with it as I believe its changed me.
My surgeon was well qualified (BAPRAS) but im just worried that I will be stuck will my nostrils showing (i feel a lot less confident & attractive because of it).I am very worried/upset now though as I am very aware that I can see my nostrils now whereas I didn't before (I had no if very little nostril showing). Would this be because of swelling? All comments much appreciated.

that despite sunscreens and protective clothing, UV rays do get through to the skin? This results in free-radical damage to your cells, the altered DNA implicated in skin cancer and the breakdown of collagen. Anti-oxidants applied under your sunscreen help prevent this unwanted aging effect. Look for topical serums or creams that contain stable vitamins C and E, ferrulic acid, idebenone, coffeeberry, grape-seed extract, and green tea. —Dr. Bradford Katchen
that grated potatoes do more than make great hash browns? They contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics to lighten skin. To treat under-eye circles, put grated potatoes in a piece of cheesecloth and place the bundle on dark circles, making sure that the potato juice doesn't have direct contact with your eyes. After 15 to 20 minutes, wipe away the starchy residue and follow with a few dabs of chilled eye cream. —Dr. Peter Kopelson
that you should remember your future? This may sound strange, but think about how you treat yourself and your skin today will impact how you will look in years to come. This is just a friendly reminder to take care of yourself now, it is as simple as that! —Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh
that female athletes are four to five times more likely to tear their A.C.L. (anterior cruciate ligament) than boys playing the same twisting sports? A number of studies have shown the disproportionate risk to the female knee that starts around puberty, age 11. Sports with twisting, such as soccer, basketball, and lacrosse, have been implicated. The take-home: Have your teenage girls start A.C.L. prevention programs before they get hurt! —Dr. Jordan Metzl
that bone health is protected by calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise? Recently, calcium supplements have been associated with increased heart disease, thought to be due to high blood levels of calcium when the nutrient is taken in large chunks as supplements. Instead, eat three to four servings of calcium-packed foods, such as milk, low-fat cheese, tofu, yogurt, and calcium-fortified orange juice. The calcium is absorbed more gradually when taken in food, without risk of calcifying the blood vessels. It's also been shown that colorful fruits and vegetables with lots of antioxidants are helpful to bone health. —Dr. Bruce Yaffe
