Your source for high-quality books and magazines since 1985
It's springtime in Illinois, and I've already started "plowing" the RTR files for feature articles for Volume 12 Nos. 1&2. There have been some unusual photos on the Rock Island facebook sites, AND some killer modeling going on, so don't be bashful... drop us a line with an idea and see if we bite! Kinda sounds like fishin'...
VOL. 11 NOS. 3 and 4
Hay gang! We got our tester copy of RTR in the mail this morning, so most everyone ought to have one in their hands by now. We've been filling Hobby Shop orders all week. Got to "M" for Michigan today, so hopefully by the end of next week RTR V11 Nos. 3 and 4 will be at your favorite shop.
Keep those cards and letters coming, we like to hear from our readers. You could send an article or photos if you are so inclined. Surprise us with a Mail Box Bonus!
Steve & Tanya
We cant help but notice how many fellas dilly-dally when it comes time to renew their RTR subscription. For the last ten years we have opened the mail, entered the subscription, gritted our teeth, and sent out the current magazine via first class mail. These days, it just costs too much.
The 80 page magazines are too heavy to send out first class mail at the discounted subscription price. So, subscriptions will start with the next issue mailed from the printer. If you miss an issue or two and then renew, your make-up copies will be sold as Back Issues at $22 each postpaid.
Time to renew your subscription? Call us and get it done BEFORE a magazine GOES TO THE PRINTER! After the magazine ships to the printer your window of opportunity closes.
If you don't know when your expiration date is--ask us and we'll look it up. So drop a dime, call (815) 538-3060 (10am-7pm Chicago time) and get your subscription renewed! You can use your Visa or MasterCard

Unless I make some sort of glaring error or omission, I don't make it a policy not to go back and update a review I've written. However, if something in a game changes to warrant a note or quick revisit, I'm more than happy to do that. Such is the case with Grinchmas! from Ocean Mediahouse. You can read the original review here. I'm still a bit disappointed that they haven't bolstered the less than wacky atmosphere, but there are a couple of game play changes worthy of noting. The first is that there are actually two modes now: Classic and Challenge. Classic is the original game, which now even has easy, medium and hard modes. Challenge mode is the bright spot of this update, however. In the Mean Grinch scenario there are 20 challenges and in Merry Grinch mode there are 17. A challenge might be basic like "quiet 3 near noisy houses" in Mean scenario or "deliver 3 presents" in Merry mode. As you get further down the list, however, things get more difficult. In Mean mode you might have something like "quiet 7 houses for 4 minutes and 30 seconds", and in Merry mode you get such things as "deliver a red, green and blue present in 10 seconds without missing". Each challenge has 3 difficulty levels as well.
I think this does wonders towards improving the game play. I would challenge the developers to take it a step further, however. They need to make the different difficulty levels less superficially different. In classic mode, I'm not even sure what the difference is other than it might be a bit harder to throw a present. Maybe they could do something like add a wind factor into the hard level, or have something flying around that can block your tosses. For challenge mode I'd like to see two things. First of all, have more challenges of the "certain types of houses" or "certain order" variety and less "do x number of houses in x minutes". The more specific challenges are much more interesting. Also, just like in challenge mode, they need to make more of a distinction between difficulty levels. Maybe in the hard levels houses could turn on and off their music on their own from time to time for the Mean scenario or houses could periodically change color in Merry mode. For now, though, the changes they have made are quite nice.

text: Heres what I want to do : *3 nights at one resort w/ 7 day base tickets and 7 day meal plan. AND THEN *4 nights at another resort room only In checking things out, I see its far cheaper if I buy all 7 days of my tickets at one time.The Disney website will let me do this......I get an error box, but it gives me the option of proceeding anyway if I really do want 7 day tickets compared to me 3 night stay. What it will not do, is let me price the 7 day meal plan with just the 3 night stay. So, question is :: Can I book the meal plan with a room only ressie? For example, can I book the meal plan for our 4 night stay at the second resort, even though I am not purchasing tickets with that stay? (Because I would have the 7 day passes from our 3 night stay) Have I confused you?

- Title: Mission: Impossible
- IMDb: link
Although it began a series of increasingly good summer blockbuster over the course of two decades, 1996's relaunch of the television series of the same name as a theatrical film (which introduced the world to Tom Cruise's most successful ongoing character in IMF Agent Ethan Hunt) is problematic at best. Poorly plotted, including a huge fuck you to fans of the original series by turning the television show's central hero (Peter Graves) into a greedy villain (Jon Voight) selling CIA secrets to the highest bidder, the film hasn't aged well. Turning Jim Phelps into a villain would be like rebooting Superman into a coldblooded killer. What kind of an asshole would do that?
Opening with the death of an IMF team (Kristin Scott Thomas, Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Emilio Estevez) and Ethan on the run from his former bosses who believe he is responsible, the film climaxes early on with a break-in at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia. It's this sequence, and really only this sequence, that's worth noting from the otherwise forgettable tale.

Crowding eased in many Manchester classrooms, but some still over limitBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 06. 2012 10:56PM
A New Hampshire Sunday News review of school enrollment figures filed with the state by the Manchester School District last week also reveals that 98 percent of the elementary classrooms are within two students of the state limits.
State regulations set a maximum class size of 25 pupils in kindergarten through Grade 2, and 30 students in Grades 3 and above.
School districts are required to provide a report to the state detailing enrollment as of Oct. 1.
'We've been able to reduce some but not all' of the crowded classrooms, said Thomas Brennan, school superintendent, who allocated much of an additional infusion of cash from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to rehiring elementary school teachers.
Brennan said he has called back all the teachers the district has the money to pay. 'I can't add more teachers without funding,' Brennan said.
The superintendent said Friday he planned to take the weekend to evaluate the current status of classroom crowding in the city.
Oct. 1 is considered a benchmark day for determining enrollment, educators say, because school populations typically settle down after frequent changes in the first few weeks of school.
There are still a couple of classrooms in kindergarten through Grade 2 that are five or more students over the limit, one at Parker-Varney and the other at Hallsville.
In Grade 3 and above, the limit is 30 students. That number was exceeded in only six of more than 120 classrooms.
In the secondary schools, the number of overcrowded classes is harder to gauge because students have a half-dozen or more separate classes each day.
The district has come under fire from school officials in Candia and Hooksett for high school classes that include more than the 30 students allowed under state regulations.
The superintendent met with school boards in the two towns last week to address the issue. While the contract between the towns and the district requires class sizes to conform to state limits, neither town has provided the formal notice required by the contract with Manchester to start the clock ticking on a 180-day window. During that period, the district would have to either solve the crowding problem or risk having the towns pull their pupils from the district.
Brennan has been instructed by the Board of School Committee to discuss transferring students from Hooksett who attend Manchester High School Central to Manchester High School West, with an enrollment that is 415 students below capacity.
There are 404 Hooksett students at Central and 150 at West.
As of Oct. 1, the Manchester School District enrolled 15,442 students, a decrease of less than 1 percent over last year's 15,536.

Osaka, kyoto, kobe, tokyo and mt fuji
Hi, this is my first time visit to Japan and I am very confuse with the transportations. So, I need some advices for using JR pass or maybe other suggestions. Here is my plan in Japan, I will arrive in Osaka Kansai airport and will be leaving from Tokyo Narita airport.
Day 1: Osaka
Plan to stay around Dotonburi area in Osaka and will stay around Shibuya station in Tokyo. Which one can I use JR pass?
Will appreciate you help :)
Hello there,
Looking at your itinerary, my advise would be to use normal tickets. A 7 day JR Pass would be useful if you made a return Tokyo - Osaka. When you come down to it, the amount of distance you cover not that much. Your first 5 days are all in the Kansai region, then you spend most days in Tokyo with one day trip to Gotemba. You could even visit Gotemba as stop over between Osaka and Tokyo to minimize travel.
Dotonbori is a great place to stay!
Hope this helps,

Starting from $257.00 for 7 days of unlimited Japan Rail travel

IBM enables Web-based design for ASIC customers
Post a comment
EAST FISHKILL, N.Y. IBM Microelectronics this week will roll out an interactive, Internet-based chip design system for its ASIC customers. The system lets users download IBM software and work with IBM engineers in a Web-based collaborative environment.
The design environment is being offered to selected customers through the IBM Edge e-business portal at www.ibm.com/edge. It supports offerings from IBM's Blue Logic ASIC design system, including the Cu-11, SA-27E, SA-27, SA-12E, SA-12 and 5SE lines. A Java-capable Web browser lets users collaborate and share desktops with IBM engineers. The company is not offering any third-party EDA software through the environment, but is providing its own software and technical documentation online.
Real-time collaboration
"In ASIC design, where a customer might do the front end and IBM might do the back end, there's a lot of to and fro of information," said Anirudh Devgan, manager of IBM Microelectronics' e-business initiative for custom logic design. "This Internet design environment will make it easier for customers to do business with us."
Devgan said that IBM will make libraries, models and proprietary ASIC design software available with the system. While third-party EDA vendors provide most of the tools needed for ASIC design, IBM has some specialized software in areas such as timing, physical design and test, which ASIC designers will be able to download from the Edge portal and run behind their own firewalls.
The real-time collaboration capability will simplify customer support, Devgan said. "Later on, we intend to provide more seamless passing of netlist and other design data," he said.
Separately, IBM has also expanded its e-business offerings for its PowerPC processors. The company is working with existing sites such as www.TechOnline.com and www.design-reuse.com to provide online development, remote evaluation, testing resources and training materials.

In conjunction with Cultural forum Carballo, Galicia, Aryz painted this large mural on the outside of the building.
Consisting of tree main parts, this distinctive piece forms a sort of triptych showing some of Aryz' signature types of works. The largest part is showing a dissected car formed of abstract shapes. Borrowing some elements from his past work, such as organic-feeling, submerging elements, this section might be seen as the new direction for the Catalan artist. The other two smaller walls are figurative works, both playing with repetitiveness and created using masterful painting technique which he's been working on lately.
While thematically and style-wise different, the artist managed to harmonize these pieces together with limited palette that is blending with its surrounding as well as recurring details. Having a very limited time of only 10 days to finish this massive work, the results is still more than impressive.

Consuming Class to Rapidly Expand and Shift Markets by 2025
What do Shanghai, Lagos, Sao Paulo, and Istanbul have in common? According to a new report [PDF] from the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), these cities and 436 others, dubbed the Emerging 440, will be responsible for contributing to nearly half of the growth in global GDP by 2025. This percentage roughly translates to $23 trillion.
MGI's recent report, Urban world: Cities and the rise of the consuming class, shows that "one billion people will enter the global consuming class by 2025," meaning that businesses should be aware of where new economic markets will form. According to the report, the world will see a profound shift in its center of economic gravity from the United States and Europe toward Asia and Africa.
MGI believes that analyzing the potential for a market at a regional or country level is not focused enough. Instead, companies should take a close look at individual cities because the markets are different even within regions. For example, both Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are in the top 3 cities for growth in laundry care products by 2025. However, Sao Paulo is ranked 15th for potential growth in municipal water demand and is the only Brazilian city in that top 20 list.
The "tectonic shift" in consumption will demand a corresponding investment in buildings and infrastructure to cater to "the burgeoning urban consumer classes." The Urban world report states that, "cities will need annual physical capital investment to more than double from nearly $10 trillion today to more than $20 trillion by 2015." MGI suggests that this money go to bolstering the cities' infrastructure with more buildings, larger port capacity, and more available municipal water. These changes will hopefully allow the cities to grow with, and take advantage of, the emerging markets.

Walk In The Rain - Poem by Sunny Chopra
Overcast and drab evening
with ominous shroud dark
Distant rumbling crackle
akin to giant ignited spark
Adding to swelling misery
in my moments desolate
Craving for little company
to someone try and relate
Swallowed up with solitude
for sane sense to maintain
With cape less mackintosh
I step out in spitting rain
My pace though consistent
but drizzle started to pour
Beset with strange emotions
couldn't repress my outpour
Felt one with the elements
water spattering on my face
Intermingling with my tears
not leaving a visible trace
In street turned near rivulet
I stopped to look up for sign
Lo and behold silver lining
of a most exquisite design
Experienced feel awesome
inexplicable thence before
New purpose got bestowed
to seek all what is in store

Market Report / Major Indexes Down 1.2% on Very Low Turnover
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange started the week yesterday in light trade as many market players waited for world bourses to lead the way today, but toward the end of the day investors sent the main indexes down sharply. Turnover totaled less than a billion shekels.
The TA-25 lost 1.2 percent to close at 940.9 points, and is now 6 percent below the 1,000 mark, which it crossed for the first time - and for one day only - in mid-February. Only two of the top 25 stocks were in the green for the day: Teva (TASE: TEVA), which started with a positive arbitrage gap, and Delek Group (TASE: DLKG), which had three major announcements yesterday.
The TA-100 also fell 1.2 percent to close at 944.7 points, and the TelTech-15 dropped 1.7 percent, down a full 3 percent in the last two trading days. Second-tier stocks lost 1.4 percent, while third-tier stocks of the Yeter-30 eased 0.55 percent.
The U.S. mortgage crisis is hanging over markets this week, as are local factors such as a possible strike on Wednesday by 700,000 public sector employees. The labor problems at the Bank of Israel also weighed on the markets.
Teva was the only dual-traded share to gain, up 0.3 percent on NIS 39 million in turnover, on a report in the Indian newspaper The Economic Times that the company had made it to the second round of the bidding for the generic division of Germany's Merck.
Nice (TASE: NICE) fell 0.7 percent and Elbit Systems (TASE: ESLT) shed 1.5 percent.
Audiocodes (TASE: AUDC) dropped 2.6 percent after opening the day with a 3.7 percent negative arbitrage gap. The share lost 25 percent of its value on Thursday in Tel Aviv, and as it represents 6 percent of the TelTech-15, it dragged that index down by 1.3 percent.
The reporting season for 2006 annual results is well underway and will continue to the end of the month. The banks are expected to report this week, as well as Strauss-Elite (TASE: STEL).
Bank Hapoalim (TASE: POLI) fell 1.1 percent on the largest turnover of the day, NIS 52 million, in anticipation of its results expected on Wednesday. Bank Leumi (TASE: LUMI) dropped 1.6 percent, while First International Bank (TASE: FTIN) lost 1.05 percent in the run-up to its results on Tuesday.
The members of Nochi Dankner's IDB group were all down sharply, with Discount Investments (TASE: DISI) off 2.2 percent.

Protoplanetary disc structure & planet formation signatures resolved with interferometry
Add to your list(s) Download to your calendar using vCal
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr. Jaroslav Dudik.
Star and planet formation is one of the most active and exciting research areas of modern astrophysics. Many of the open questions in this field are related to the structure and physics of the innermost regions of protoplanetary discs, where material is transported onto the forming star, ejected in powerful jets & outflows, or accreted onto newly-formed planets.
In this talk I will outline the new opportunities provided by infrared interferometry, which allow us for the first time to resolve the structure & physical processes in the AU-scale inner disc regions. I will discuss near- and mid-infrared interferometric observations on intermediate-mass pre-main-sequence stars that probe the distribution of hot dust grains located at the dust sublimation radius. We find indications for a radial temperature gradient and an increased vertical scale height at the sublimation radius, supporting models of irradiated discs with puffed-up inner rim. Besides constraining the distribution of the continuum-emitting dust, our interferometric observations in spectral lines with high spectral dispersion (R=12,000) probe the kinematics of hot gas that is located in the magnetospheric accretion and outflow-launching region close to the star.
Transitional disc objects are believed to be at a later evolutionary stage and to exhibit a gapped or dust-cleared inner disc structure. Our interferometric observations on these objects constrain the gap geometry and reveal complex density inhomogeneities that might be triggered by orbiting planets.
Finally, I will give an outlook on the upcoming generation of interferometric instruments at the VLT and MRO Interferometer, as well as the "Planet Formation Imager" (PFI) initiative, which aims to develop the roadmap for the construction of a new interferometric facility that will be optimised to unmask all the major stages of planet formation, from initial dust coagulation, gap formation, evolution of transition discs, mass accretion onto planetary embryos, and eventual disc dispersal.

LONDON -- A familiar face from Britain's political past is betting he is the man to reinvigorate the long-beleaguered Conservative Party and wrest power from Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Kenneth Clarke, the garrulous former Treasury chief, is seeking the Tory leadership. He is one of the party's most popular politicians, but age -- he is 65 -- and his left-leaning views may work against him.
''I am getting frustrated by the fact that we have been out of office for eight years," Clarke said Wednesday. ''I desperately want to lead the Conservative Party to make quicker progress back into power."
Clarke would probably challenge David Davis, the Conservatives' spokesman on law and order issues, in the race to succeed outgoing leader Michael Howard. David Cameron, 38, the education spokesman and another probable contender, is seen as an up-and-coming modernizer.
Malcolm Rifkind, a former foreign secretary, said he would also be a candidate.
Clarke has sought the party leadership unsuccessfully twice before, in 1997 and 2001. His warm, relaxed manner and fondness for jazz and cigars have endeared him to many Britons, but he is less popular within his own party, many of whose faithful see him as too liberal.
Whoever succeeds Howard when he steps down at the end of the year will probably lead the Tories into the next election, expected in 2009. Blair has said he will not seek another term, so his expected successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, could head the Labor Party by then.
Clarke argues that the Tories -- who have lost the last three elections, two of them in crushing landslides -- have tilted too far to the right and must shift to the center to broaden their appeal.
Howard is widely credited with boosting the party's fortunes in his year and a half as leader.
The Tories lost May's vote to Labor, but by a far smaller margin than the last two times, and Conservative stalwarts hope this year's election will prove a stepping stone to victory in 2009. They believe Labor's majority of 65 seats could be easier to overcome than its earlier gaping lead of more than 160 seats.
Clarke's backers say they believe he has the name recognition and experience to return the once-dominant Conservatives to power. Although he is in the party's liberal wing, he allied himself closely with the staunchly conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who appointed him to a succession of junior posts and eventually made him health secretary.
Under Prime Minister John Major, Clarke was home secretary, then promoted to chancellor, Britain's top economic post.
He said his opposition to the Iraq war puts him in a strong position to criticize Blair in an area where the government is vulnerable. Under Howard's predecessor, Iain Duncan Smith, the Tories supported the invasion.
But Clarke may lean too far to the left for his party's liking.
His longstanding support for closer British integration into the European Union rankles many Tories, who have been deeply divided over the issue for years. Clarke said economic problems facing countries that adopted the euro mean Britain will not sign up to the single currency any time soon.
However, Madsen Pirie, president of the Adam Smith Institute, a conservative think tank, said Clarke's support for the EU was too central to his world view to discount. ''He carries too much baggage," Pirie said. ''He's out of tune with the modern Conservative Party with his enthusiastic [pro-EU] view."
Some have also hinted that Clarke is too old to become prime minister in four years. Howard, who is a year younger, cited his own age in deciding to step down.
Clarke's lucrative job as deputy chairman of British American Tobacco could also hurt him, with many voters now wary of the tobacco industry. He said he would quit the post if chosen as leader.

Gallery: My Pie Monday: Tabisca Saccense, Carbonara, Hawaiian, and More!
Tommyeats' Pizza Carbonara
"My version of pizza carbonara, inspired by a new Neapolitan-style pizza place in Asbury Park, NJ, called Porta Pizza. Guanciale, Parmigiano-reggiano, 2 eggs, a bit of low-moisture mozzarella, plenty of coarsely cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Dough is made from a sourdough starter, 60% hydration, 50/50 KA bread flour/Caputo 00, 3 day cold rise. I cook my pies in a standard electric oven (with no mods) on a stone. Long preheats and management of the broiler and heat allow me to get pies out in under 4 minutes. I do use a second oven to finish under the broiler when necessary. More info here." —tommyeats
Tabisca Saccense by Jimmyg
"Continuing on my journey to recreate regional pizzas of Sicily comes Tabisca Saccense, from the town Sciacca. Similar to other Sicilian pizzas, the dough is a little thicker, made from semolina flour and garnished with copious amounts of chopped tomatoes, oregano, and young sheep cheese. This pie is distinguished by its oblong shape, the addition of chopped onions, olives, salt-cured sardines, and is always served on a wooden board. Note: I'm still trying to dial-in my square pan so I'm forgoing the traditional shape." —Jimmyg
TXCraig1's Hedonistic Shrimp Pizza
"This pie was topped with Parmigiano Reggiano, a tiny bit of fresh mozzarella, and shrimp par-cooked (50%) in applewood bacon fat. After a 55 second bake at 900F, I added chopped green onions and garlic caramelized in butter, Lea and Perrin's, Tabasco, Shiner Bock, shrimp stock, salt, cayenne and black pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary slowly cooked down to a golden sweet, spicy, savory, buttery, crunchy, goodness. The dough is Caputo Pizzeria flour, 61% hydration, 3% salt, 1.5% Ischia culture, 36h bulk @ 64F then balled and another 4 hours @ 64F + 12h @ 77F." —TXCraig1
Jkdrummer's Hawaiian Pizza
"I used Adam's NY Style Pizza dough recipe but instead of 3 crusts I made 2, so it's right between thick and thin. I also let the dough rest 2-3 hrs before forming the crust and it behaved like a well-trained dog, I said, "STAY" and it obeyed well—no shrinking or rolling required. I made the Hawaiian Style for my kids, this style pizza is not kosher to this former NYer." —jkdrummer
New World Whole Wheat Pizza by Shimpiphany1
"The 'new world pizza' with corn, tomatoes and peppers: a 75% whole wheat crust, 65% hydration, 3% salt, with fior di latte, black cherry and sungolds from the garden, padron peppers, and sweet corn. The sauce is hand crushed canned tomatoes. Cooked in the mud oven at about 750 degrees." —Shimpiphany1
Greek Pizza from Norma427
This week I made a Greek-style pizza from a leftover dough ball from Craig's formula. I had froze and thawed the dough ball two times. The Greek pizza I made was my best attempt to this date. The crust on the bottom was crisp, and the crumb was so flavorful and moist. Here is a link to my blog where the other pictures are." —Norma427
Grilled Eggplant with Leftovers Pizza by Amusebouche1
"Roasted tomato puree, low-moisture whole milk mozzarella, chopped grilled eggplant, roasted garlic, grilled red onions, piquillo peppers, smoky prosciutto, Arbequina olives with fresh oregano, and chiffonade of spinach. Nice grilled smoky flavor. Caputo Red Bag cold rise crust with sugar and EVOO. More pics here." —amusebouche1

Hi all,
I've been living in the Peak District (Hayfield) for almost a year now and having a great time riding my Genesis Core, however, I've got an itch to buy my first full suspension bike. I intend to hold on to the hard tail so consequently want something that rides differently, probably something a bit slacker which will still climb well but make all day rides a bit more comfortable. Budget is round the £2k mark and so far the Canyon AL+ 8.0 appears a worthy contender: Linky Typical rides are around Hayfield, Marple, Edale but also the occasional trail centre trip.
Other suggestions are very much welcome and also opinions on whether this bike would suite the type of riding that I'll be doing.

"The Greatest Generation" Record Release Show
The Wonder Years
The Sheds, Versus the World
Chain Reaction
1652 W. Lincoln Avenue
Anaheim, CA, 92801
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 7:00 PM
This event is all ages
"The whole world's full of losers," sings Wonder Years frontman Dan "Soupy" Campbell on "Washington Square Park," from the band's second full-length record, The Upsides, "but if you get a chance to win, take it."
Perhaps no quote better describes The Wonder Years' career to date. A band that started as something of a joke grew to become recognized around the country courtesy of a sloppy debut LP that flicked some sort of switch. People were paying attention to them. People were listening to them. People liked them. This was, as they say, opportunity knocking. The Wonder Years had a chance to win, and they took it.
Releasing The Upsides in January 2010, a complete departure from The Wonder Years' early work, was just the beginning of an ongoing avalanche of momentum that has led the Philadelphia sextet to the forefront of the pop-punk community. Engaging musicianship, reaching far beyond the repetitive droning of most of the genre, and intimate, instantly relatable lyricism made The Wonder Years a critical darling even before hordes of fans began to take notice. But it didn't take long for everyone to jump on board. Signing to Hopeless Records with their brand of "realist pop-punk" and re-releasing The Upsides with bonus tracks brought about new buzz, and the release of the sprawling, 13-track concept record Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing in June of 2011 confirmed what many thought: The Wonder Years were for real.
Playing shows in basements, backyards and VFW halls the country over in its early years, the band had a DIY mentality long before it broke through to a larger audience. "The idea was that, for a long time, no one wanted to work with The Wonder Years so we said fuck it, we'll do it ourselves," Campbell says. "The idea was that we didn't need anyone else. We weren't looking for charity. We were just going to cowboy up and fucking do it."
Campbell, guitarists Matt Brasch and Casey Cavaliere, keyboardist/guitarist Nick Steinborn, bassist Joshua Martin and drummer Michael Kennedy have known what it's like to play to 10 kids in Salt Lake City…but their mindset hasn't changed, even when playing to 1,000 kids in Boston. This mentality and determination has resulted in The Wonder Years never taking a day off, always going the extra mile to interact with fans, playing emotionally draining live shows, and, most of all, leaving a legacy in their recorded music. The group is still "involved in every aspect of the band," according to Campbell, so everything that comes out is as good as it can be.
The Wonder Years graced the cover of Alternative Press, played an entire summer on the Vans Warped Tour, and opened for New Found Glory on the Pop Punk's Not Dead Tour to close out 2011. They opened 2012 in a huge way, with the Glamour Kills Tour, which Campbell called the band's "first big-boy headliner." Leading Polar Bear Club, Transit, The Story So Far, A Loss for Words and Into It. Over It. across the country for six weeks of sold-out shows proved that The Wonder Years are still growing, still making new friends, and still breaking new boundaries.
The band's current success can largely be traced to Suburbia. The album explores the concept of feeling displaced from your home among other concepts, providing a wealth of relatable lyricism for fans to delve into. "There's an understanding, at least in my high school English class, that the best authors write about what they know," Martin says. "We just write about what we know and what we feel because it makes the most sense to us. We just strive to write music and lyrics with substance."
The Wonder Years have become notable in the best way imaginable – by being themselves. By wearing their collective heart on their proverbial sleeve. And by taking every chance they get to win.
Versus the World is a punk rock band from Santa Barbara, CA on Kung-Fu Records. The band combines post-hardcore with pop punk. They released their debut album, "Versus the World", in September 2005. Mike Davenport was the long time bassist from The Ataris. Versus The World formed in the back of The Ataris old record store ("Down On Haley"). Prior to being called Versus The World, Mike Davenport and Donald Spence did a few acoustic shows under the band name "Pencapchew" to fill time between their current projects. They have also made a music video for one of their song "Is There No End". They have toured the US and Europe with bands such as No Use For A Name, Suicide Machines, Bouncing Souls, The Lawrence Arms, Social Distortion, I Am The Avalanche, and the Vans Warped Tour. They have a song entitled "Blue and Cold" on the Vans Warped Tour Taste of Christmas compilation. In August 2010, VTW announced their return, lending members from Crooks and Liars (Bryan Charlson-Drums) and Lagwagon (Chris Flippin-Guitar). Their song "Forgive Me" is featured on WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.

For a dial-up link, you might choose to create individual /etc/ppp/options.ttyname files for every serial port on a dial-in server with a modem attached. Typical options include the following:
IP address required by the dial-in server
Set this option if you require incoming callers on serial port ttyname to use a particular IP address. Your address space might have a limited number of IP addresses that are available for PPP in comparison to the number of potential callers. In this situation, consider assigning an IP address to each serial interface that is used for PPP on the dial-in server. This assignment implements dynamic addressing for PPP.
asyncmap map-value
The asyncmap option maps control characters that cannot be received over the serial line by the particular modem or ISDN TA. When the xonxoff option is used, pppd automatically sets an asyncmap of 0xa0000.
map-value states, in hexadecimal format, the control characters that are problematic.
init "chat -U -f /etc/ppp/mychat"
The init option tells the modem to initialize communications over the serial line by using the information in the chat -U command. The modem uses the chat string in the file /etc/ppp/mychat.
Security parameters that are listed in the pppd(1m) man page

More than three years after Nevada adopted the Common Core State Standards, proponents and critics faced off in a 10-hour legislative showdown over whether the new academic benchmarks will help or hurt students in the Silver State.
For months, dozens of concerned citizens and parents have been protesting the Common Core at legislative committee hearings on education, prompting lawmakers to devote one of its meetings to debate the pros and cons of the new standards.
The Common Core, which has been adopted by 44 states nationally, was developed by a panel of academics convened by governors and state school superintendents to replace a hodgepodge of state standards.
The national standards outline what concepts students must master in English and math each year from kindergarten to high school graduation. It represent one of the most significant changes in American education — one that is transforming textbooks, teacher training and testing.
Proponents argue these more clear, uniform and rigorous standards help students across the country become better critical thinkers and problem-solvers who can compete in the global economy. They say the standards raise expectations of Nevada students, better preparing them for college and career.
"Nevada took a big step forward with the Common Core," Michael Brickman, the education policy director of Fordham Institute, testified today. "Please don't slow down or turn back now."
Critics, however, believe the Common Core is a veiled attempt at a federal takeover of local education, a power grab for classroom curricula and student information. They view the standards as a "one-size-fits-all" and "top-down" approach that has never been tested, will be expensive to implement and take years to determine its impact on student achievement.
"This is a radical revision of your state's education system," Jane Robbins, a senior fellow with the American Principles Project, testified. "Common Core is an infection. The only way to get rid of it is to surgically remove it."
The chorus of complaints against the Common Core is crescendoing across the country.
Lawmakers in several states have proposed bills to defund or halt the implementation of the new standards. Last month, Indiana became the first state to abandon the standards it once embraced.
As opposition grows, state education leaders have begun to strike back. The Nevada Education Department rebranded the Common Core and is launching an aggressive public campaign to win community support and fight misconceptions about the standards.
"There's so much misinformation and erroneous information out there," Dale Erquiaga, Nevada superintendent of public instruction, said. "Like them or not, these are our standards. They've been embraced not once, but three times by the state board of education."
The Common Core still has its staunch supporters, primarily in the Las Vegas business community. However, educators have a mixed opinion.
Earlier this year, the National Education Association — a major teachers union — pulled its support of the Common Core. Its local chapters in Nevada, however, are still supportive of the standards, although many educators are worried about its rollout.
Principals and teachers testifying before lawmakers said they believe the Common Core will lead to more engaging lessons and meaningful classroom experiences.
"We need to teach (students about) grit and tenacity," Jeremiah Norman, a fifth-grade math teacher at Goldfarb Elementary School, said. "I want to push them to get their maximum capability."
Critics, however, argued the standards promote inappropriate literature and convoluted ways to solve math problems. They also said they feared student privacy laws would be compromised by the new Common Core assessments.
"This is not the answer to the education of our children," Janice Baldwin, a Carson City resident, said. "This really does not meet our children's needs."
John Eppolito was allowed to lay out a 30-minute case against the new standards. For the past several months, the president of Stop Common Core Nevada has been traveling across the state, sharing his thoughts about the standards with hundreds of parents, teachers and residents.
Eppolito said he was concerned about the "secretive" way the Common Core was adopted in Nevada. The Northern Nevada father of four children said well-heeled corporations created the standards and the federal government coerced states into adopting them through grant funding and regulatory relief.
"This was like tablets handed down from God," Eppolito told lawmakers. "We didn't have a chance to vet this. There was this big rush to get this in schools before anyone knew what was going on."
State senator Aaron Ford bristled at that comment. He retorted there were several public meetings held before policymakers signed onto the Common Core.
"I take issue with the continued misrepresentation that public input wasn't allowed or received," Ford said. "None may have been received, but it was certainly allowed."
State assemblyman Elliot Anderson questioned whether Eppolito and other critics wanted to scrap the new academic standards in the middle of a multi-year implementation process.
"Do you think education in Nevada is working right now?" Anderson asked Eppolito. "It just seems like we've tried our old standards. We don't know if Common Core will work, but we know our previous standards aren't working."
Although most policymakers at the meeting seemed to want to stay the course with Common Core, State Senator Scott Hammond said he was open to an alternative.
"We shouldn't be afraid of changing course," said Hammond, a Clark County teacher who asked several pointed questions of Common Core advocates. "I don't think it's necessarily too late to turn around."
For state assemblyman Harvey Munford, the Common Core represents yet another stab at reforming public education over the decades. Munford said he's uncertain any academic standard would miraculously boost student achievement. It's not that simple, he said.
"I don't think this is the panacea to solve all of our educational problems," Munford said. "I don't know. But we have to try to do something."

CASTLE Precision Engineering has outlined further details of its involvement in a project to build a vehicle to raise the land speed record to 1000mph.
The Glasgow firm is building the wheels for the Bloodhound SuperSonic Car project and has now said it is manufacturing 18 solid aluminium wheels at the company's premises in Castlemilk.
Each wheel will have to spin 177 times per second if the target speed is to be achieved.
Loading article content
Family-owned Castle Precision Engineering is also supplying a number of other components including inner and outer wheel covers and inner wheel caps. Operations director Yan Tiefenbrun said: "Bloodhound is a huge technological and manufacturing challenge and an opportunity to be part of something very special.
"There are some 3000 parts that must be made for this project to work – but the fastest wheels in history will be made right here in Glasgow.
"It's a real point of pride and motivation in the company and a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of our capabilities."
The Bloodhound will be powered by a rocket attached to a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine and the attempt to break the land speed record, currently 760mph, is scheduled to take place in South Africa during November later this year.

Toshiba invests in M-Systems, licenses NAND IP
Post a comment
TOKYO -- Japan's Toshiba Corp. today (July 29) announced it has invested in M-Systems Inc., a Kfar Saba, Israel-based supplier of flash-based data storage products.
Tokyo-based Toshiba and M-Systems also disclosed plans to co-develop NAND flash-based data storage products. The agreement includes the joint development of next-generation products as well as cross licensing of intellectual property (IP).
The development involves M-Systems' flash-disk technology, which provides the functionality of a mechanical hard drive in a silicon chip. More specially, Toshiba has apparently licensed the IP of M-System' DiskOnChip technology.
"Toshiba and M-Systems have worked closely together for many years," said Masashi Muromachi, vice president of Toshiba Corp.'s semiconductor unit, in a statement. "This agreement gives Toshiba important IP that allows us to further expand NAND flash memory applications."

pcmcia modem working in Ubuntu, fails in DSL/Knoppix
distros. I know the modem uses a couple of internal 16550A UARTs
however in DSL it comes up as two UARTs (ttyS00 and ttyS01) and in
Ubuntu it comes up as one (ttyS0). Ubuntu also automatically links
/dev/modem to ttyS0. In DSL I have attempted to do so to both ttyS00

Direct current
The first commercial electric power transmission (developed by Thomas Edison in the late nineteenth century) used direct current. Because of the advantage of alternating current over direct current in transforming and transmission, electric power distribution today is nearly all alternating current. For applications requiring direct current, such as third rail power systems, alternating current is distributed to a substation, which utilizes a rectifier to convert the power to direct current. See War of Currents.
Direct current is used to charge batteries, and in nearly all electronic systems as the power supply. Very large quantities of direct-current power are used in production of aluminum and other electrochemical processes. Direct current is used for some railway propulsion, especially in urban areas. High voltage direct current is used to transmit large amounts of power from remote generation sites or to interconnect alternating current power grids.
Various definitions
Within electrical engineering, the term DC is used to refer to power systems that use only one polarity of voltage or current, and to refer to the constant, zero-frequency, or slowly varying local mean value of a voltage or current.[1] For example, the voltage across a DC voltage source is constant as is the current through a DC current source. The DC solution of an electric circuit is the solution where all voltages and currents are constant. It can be shown that any stationary voltage or current waveform can be decomposed into a sum of a DC component and a zero-mean time-varying component; the DC component is defined to be the expected value, or the average value of the voltage or current over all time.
Although DC stands for "Direct Current", DC sometimes refers to "constant polarity." With this definition, DC voltages can vary in time, such as the raw output of a rectifier or the fluctuating voice signal on a telephone line.
Some forms of DC (such as that produced by a voltage regulator) have almost no variations in voltage, but may still have variations in output power and current.
Direct-current installations usually have different types of sockets, switches, and fixtures, mostly due to the low voltages used, from those suitable for alternating current. It is usually important with a direct-current appliance not to reverse polarity unless the device has a diode bridge to correct for this (most battery-powered devices do not).voltage applications, especially where these are powered by batteries, which can produce only DC, or solar power systems, since solar cells can produce only DC. Most automotive applications use DC, although the alternator is an AC device which uses a rectifier to produce DC. Most electronic circuits require a DC power supply. Applications using fuel cells (mixing hydrogen and oxygen together with a catalyst to produce electricity and water as byproducts) also produce only DC.
Many telephones connect to a twisted pair of wires, and internally separate the AC component of the voltage between the two wires (the audio signal) from the DC component of the voltage between the two wires (used to power the phone).
Telephone exchange communication equipment, such as DSLAM, uses standard -48V DC power supply. The negative polarity is achieved by grounding the positive terminal of power supply system and the battery bank. This is done to prevent electrolysis depositions.
An electrified third rail can be used to power both underground (subway) and overground trains.

Trailer Winch Installation Powering and Operating from TRAC Outdoor Products
Video TranscriptTRAC trailer winches are designed to easily launch and retrieve your boat in minutes, simply with the touch of a button. All the TRAC trailer winch models will install and operate similarly. Before installation, please consult your owner's manual for safety issues and warnings. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and safe operation before using the trailer winch.
Install the TRAC electric winch in the same location as the existing hand winch on the trailer. Remove the hand winch from the winch stand. If your winch stand does not have three holes you may have to drill two holes for the bolts, which are located at the rear or label end of the winch.
Locate the three mounting bolts that came in the box, remove the nuts and washers but leave the retaining reams on the bolt. The bolts will be located at the rear end of the winch below the label. Insert the head of the bolt into the keyhole on the bottom of the winch. Slide the bolt along the slot. Tighten the retaining ream to hold the bolts while you lower the winch onto the trailer's winch stand.
Align the bolts with the bolt holes on the winch stand. Install the flat washer, block washer and nut. The winch cable and bow eye should be at the same height when the boat is in the fully loaded position on the trailer. To achieve equal height of the winch and bow eye, raise or lower the winch stand. You may have a trailer that requires a bracket or alternative winch stand; consult with the trailer dealer or boat repair shop for help.
TRAC trailer winches comes with 10 feet of battery wire which is plenty to reach the rear of the tow vehicle or a nearby battery. They are three common ways to get 12 volt power to the winch. You could place a battery on the trailer or you could secure a battery at the rear of a truck. A quick note about these two options; If you use a standalone battery, it needs to be a deep cycle battery the type which is used to power electric trolling motors. The last option is the best option and that is to use a battery in the tow vehicle to power the winch.
When the vehicle is running, the generator is putting out more power than a standalone battery. And by using the vehicle's battery you don't have to buy or maintain another battery. You might be thinking most newer trucks and SUVs have a 30 amp circuit located with a round trailer wiring plug. Even this 30 amp circuit is intended to power things like lights in a large RV or trailer.
Trailer winches can exceed 30 amp of electrical current, so the fuse maybe to when you are using this circuit. We do not recommend using it. We recommend wiring the vehicle with a 50 amp dedicated circuit. The parts required are available in a vehicle wiring kit from TRAC. It installs by running wires through or under the vehicle from the rear of the vehicle to the battery and installing 50 amp connectors on the vehicle and also the winch battery wires.
Once the wiring is complete, connect the winch battery cable to the winch and tow vehicle. Now that we have a 12 Volt 50 amp circuit, let's continue with the trailer winch operation.
To operate your TRAC trailer winch, locate the wireless remote or connect the wired controller to the side of the winch. Turn the light on to confirm the winch has power, turn the light out. It's important to know that you can power the winch out but you must always put some pulling force on the cable so the cable does not tangle on the spool. The winch will also free spool out. To free spool, loosen the black wingnut and turn the grey clutch knob counterclockwise to release the clutch. The cable can now be free spooled out. Attach the winch cable hook to the bow eye of the boat. Power the winch in to tighten the cable. You can now use your Trac electric winch just as you would a manual one.

The Sum of A Man
In autumn,
facing the end of his life,
he moved in with me.
We piled his belongings—
his army-issue boots, knife magazines,
Steely Dan tapes, his grinder, drill press,
sanders, belts and hacksaws—
in a heap all over the living room floor.
For two weeks he walked around the mess.
One night he stood looking down at it all
and said: "The sum total of my existence."
Emptiness in his voice.
Soon after, as if the sum total
needed to be expanded, he began to place
things around in the closets and spaces I'd
cleared for him, and when he'd finished
setting up his workshop in the cellar, he said,
"I should make as many knives as I can,"
and he began to work.
The months plowed on through a cold winter.
In the evenings, we'd share supper, some tale
of family, some laughs, perhaps a walk in the snow.
Then he'd nip back down into the cellar's keep
To saw and grind and polish,
creating his beautiful knives
until he grew too weak to work.
But still he'd slip down to stand at his workbench
and touch his woods
and run his hand over his lathe.
One night he came up from the cellar
and stood in the kitchen's warmth
and, shifting his weight
from one foot to the other, said,
"I love my workshop."
Then he went up to bed.
He's gone now.
It's spring. It's been raining for weeks.
I go down to his shop and stand in the dust
of ground steel and shavings of wood.
I think on how he'd speak of his dying, so
easily, offhandedly, as if it were
a coming anniversary or
an appointment with the moon.
I touch his leather apron, folded for all time,
and his glasses set upon his work gloves.
I take up an unfinished knife and test its heft,
and feel as well the heft of my grief for
this man, this brother I loved,
the whole of him so much greater
than the sum of his existence.
It's the birthday of John Hewitt, (books by this author) born in Belfast (1907) to a Methodist family. Born the same year as Louis MacNeice, he was one of the most important Irish poets from a generation that followed W.B. Yeats's and preceded Seamus Heaney's. He directed an art gallery for most of his adult life, and it wasn't until he retired and was in his mid-60s that he became an intensely productive poet.
He was a peace activist, a socialist, a dissenter, and a romantic lyricist. He was particularly interested in exploring Ulster (Northern Irish) identity, in finding threads that were common to Catholics and Protestants, Scottish, English, and Irish, by virtue of their shared region: the six counties that make up the northern part of the island of Ireland. He said that "regionalism is based on the conviction that as man is a social being, he must, now that the nation has become an enormously complicated organisation, find some smaller unit to which to give his loyalty."
His poetry collections include Conacre (1943), The Day of the Corncrake: Poems of the Nine Glens (1969), The Rain Dance (1978), and Loose Ends (1983). There's a pub named after him in Belfast, and it's run by the Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre, which Hewitt founded.
On this day 133 years ago (in 1876), author Lewis Carroll (books by this author) wrote the following letter from Christ Church, Oxford:
My Dearest Gertrude:
You will be sorry, and surprised, and puzzled, to hear what a queer illness I have had ever since you went. I sent for the doctor, and said, "Give me some medicine, for I'm tired." He said, "Nonsense and stuff! You don't want medicine: go to bed!"
I said, "No; it isn't the sort of tiredness that wants a bed. I'm tired in the face." He looked a little grave, and said, "Oh, it's your nose that's tired: a person often talks too much when he thinks he nose a great deal." I said, "No, it isn't the nose. Perhaps it's the hair." Then he looked rather grave, and said, "Now I understand: you've been playing too many hairs on the pianoforte."
"No, indeed I haven't!" I said, "and it isn't exactly the hair: it's more about the nose and chin." Then he looked a good deal graver, and said, "Have you been walking much on your chin lately?" I said, "No." "Well!" he said, "it puzzles me very much. Do you think that it's in the lips?" "Of course!" I said. "That's exactly what it is!"
Then he looked very grave indeed, and said, "I think you must have been giving too many kisses." "Well," I said, "I did give one kiss to a baby child, a little friend of mine." "Think again," he said: "are you sure it was only one?" I thought again, and said, "Perhaps it was eleven times." Then the doctor said, "You must not give her any more till your lips are quite rested again." "But what am I to do? I said, "because you see, I owe her a hundred and eighty-two more." Then he looked so grave that the tears ran down his cheeks, and he said, "You may send them to her in a box."
Then I remembered a little box that I once bought at Dover, and thought I would some day give it to some little girl or other. So I have packed them all in it very carefully. Tell me if they come safe or if any are lost on the way."
Lewis Carroll first met Gertrude Chataway when she was nine years old, at an English seaside resort on the Isle of Wight. She was fascinated with the delightful stories that he told her while they sat on wooden steps above the seashore. His book The Hunting of the Snark was inspired by Gertrude Chataway and dedicated to her. It opens with an acrostic poem that spells out her name:
Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
Eager she wields her spade: yet loves as well
Rest on a friendly knee, intent to ask
The tale he loves to tell. Rude spirits of the seething outer strife,
Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,
Deem, if you list, such hours a waste of life,
Empty of all delight!
It's the birthday of British satirist Evelyn Waugh, (books by this author) born in London (1903). He came from a literary family: His father was the managing editor of an important British publishing house, and his older brother was a distinguished writer. But Waugh didn't do well in school, and he left Oxford without receiving a degree. He tried working as a teacher, but he got fired from three schools in two years. He said, "I was from the first an obvious dud." He was seriously in debt, without a job, and had just been rejected by the girl he liked, so he decided to drown himself in the ocean. He wrote a suicide note and jumped in the sea, but before he got very far, he was stung by a jellyfish. He scrambled back to shore, tore up his suicide note, and decided to give life a second chance.
He didn't know what else to do, so he wrote a novel about a young teacher at a private school where the other teachers are all drunks, child molesters, and escaped convicts; and the mother of one student is running an international prostitution ring. His publishers forced him to preface the book with a disclaimer that said, "Please bear in mind throughout that it is meant to be funny." The novel, Decline and Fall, was published in 1928, and it was immediately recognized as a masterpiece of modern satire.
It's the birthday of poet John Hollander, (books by this author) born in New York City (1929). He originally wanted to be a humor writer, and he's known for the quirky themes he chooses for his poetry collections. His book Reflections on Espionage: The Question of Cupcake (1976) is a long poem about a master spy who transmits coded messages to other secret agents. His collection Types of Shape (1968) is a series of poems that are arranged on the page so that the words form pictures of things, like a key, a cup, or a swan reflected in water. His 13th collection of poems was Powers of Thirteen (1983), which is broken up into thirteen sections of 13 poems. Each poem has 13 lines and each line has 13 syllables.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

One of the most immediately recognizable automobile brands in Britain or any other country, Bentley has fast become one of the real status symbols among people who like to show that they have money, and like to drive a quality automobile however much it cost. Bentley Motors Limited has been in operation for more than ninety years and, although it is now nominally in the ownership of the Volkswagen group, it still represents a certain British refinement and quality. Anyone who loves cars knows the Bentley name, and dreams of being behind the wheel of one � if they don�t already drive one.
The Bentley may be an extremely smooth drive, but this does not mean it will never have a fault. Every motor vehicle on the market is prone to occasional faults due to the amount of work they have to do � when you think about it, even moving forward requires the operation of numerous bits of machinery. This is why it is essential to have a service manual for your Bentley, allowing you to carry out any repairs that you may have the ability to perform, or at least identify the problems so that you can ask the mechanic at your garage to fix it.
Where May I Find A Bentley Service Manual?
A Bentley service manual will be available from any bookshop or dealership, but if you do not already have one there is no need to go and spend money on one. It is possible to download a manual from this site, free of charge, and then print off as many copies as you feel you may need.

Karyn Kusama's The Invitation (2015) releases in theaters and on VOD this April 8, 2016. The Invitation is written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi. Check out the five new character posters below. Logan Marshall-Green, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and Michiel Huisman star in The Invitation.
In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body), the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green, Prometheus) shows up to his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard, Into the Woods) and new husband, David's (Michiel Huisman, "Game of Thrones") dinner party. The pair's tragic past haunts an equally spooky present: Amid Eden's suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, The Invitation blurs layers of mounting paranoia, mystery, and horror until both Will -and the audience- are unsure what threats are real or imagined.
Directed by Karyn Kusama from a screenplay by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, The Invitation stars Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Michiel Huisman, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and John Carroll Lynch. On April 8th, Drafthouse Films will release The Invitation in theaters and on VOD.

As if trainer Bob Baffert didn't have enough
contenders for the Kentucky Derby, he has the consensus leader, Princess Arabella, for the Oaks as well. Though only ranked #22 among the HRN top Kentucky Oaks contenders, Princess Arabella has been most impressive in winning
both lifetime starts. She faces her toughest task to date when she tries
routing and stakes company for the first time in this Saturday's Grade 1 Las Virgenes at Santa Anita Park.
Though Grace Hall didn't win last Saturday's Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream Park, it was a nice building block to help
her peak on the first Friday in May.
Florida Filly's top pick, Stephanie's Kitten,
has never won on dirt, but has shown the ability to easily handle route
distances while capturing Keeneland's Alcibiades Stakes and the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. If this angle sounds familiar, it should
considering Animal Kingdom had a similar profile in winning last year's Derby. He was also part of the mutual field in pools 1 & 2 of last year's Derby future wager.
Also part of the mutual field, Broadway's Alibi, tops Brian
Appleton's list after her victory in Gulfstream Park's Forward Gal Stakes.
Yet to try a route of ground, Broadway's Alibi suggests it shouldn't be a
problem being sired by Vindication, and out of the Seeking the Gold mare,
Broadway Gold.
Sister Moon is yet another field horse with upside.
Trained by John Sadler, she is out of Dixie Union, sire of Derby
"now" horse Union Rags, and hails from the same owners that brought
us Zenyatta and Giacomo.
And Why Not, bunks with Union Rags on Michael Matz's shed row, has been working steadily and appears on target to make her
2012 debut soon.
Though racing is filled with stories that tug a
one's heartstrings, a victory by Charm the Maker would thrust 79-year-old, hall of fame
trainer, Ron McAnally back into national spotlight once again, where he
belongs. In fact, he and wife Deborah, bred and own the Empire Maker filly as well.
2011 2-year-old filly champion, My Miss Aurelia,
barely makes a dent in the pollsters' opinions due the fact that she has not
had a published workout in 2012, and doesn't even make the top 23 wagering interests. Just making it to the Kentucky Oaks would be a
stretch at this point.
Other contenders include On Fire Baby (multiple graded stakes winner at Churchill Downs and 3rd against males in Oaklawn Park's Smarty Jones Stakes, Summer Applause (Rachel Alexandra Stakes winner at Fair Grounds), Sweet Seventeen (Busher Stakes winner at Aqueduct) and flashy maiden winner for Bob Baffert, Eden's Moon.
Regardless of who you fancy, make sure to shop for value. If the price isn't right, just wait until the day of the race. If your horse is lucky enough to make it to the starting gate, the price should be juicy enough.

There are a lot of ways to track your daily activity, thanks to products like the Nike FuelBand, Jawbone UP, RunKeeper, and Fitbit.
I've tried three of them: the FuelBand, Runkeeper, and Fitbit. Runkeeper is best for tracking outdoor runs or biking by GPS, so the decision for indoor athletes and health enthusiasts often comes down to the Fitbit or FuelBand.
Fuelband has a powerful brand behind it, but Fitbit is earning quite a bit of market share. It has raised more than $25 million from investors, most recently raising $12 million at the end of January. Unlike the Fuelband, which can only be worn on a wrist, Fitbit offers multiple products that can either be worn as arm/wrist bands (launching this spring) or clips. It even offers a smart scale product that tracks weight and body fat percentage over time.
So, which company makes a better product? After trying both Fitbit and Fuelband for a few months, here's my honest assessment.
Full disclosure: BI was given both devices to try for free. We acquired the Nike Fuelband in August 2012 and the Fitbit in January 2013.
