Ceres, Inc., has begun booking switchgrass and high-biomass sorghum seed under its Blade Energy Crops label. The launch marks the first seed sales of non-food, low-carbon crops developed specifically as raw materials for biofuels and biopower. The company simultaneously launched a Blade Web site to support direct-to-farm sales.
The company reported the first Blade products build on the inherent advantages of these efficient crops, offering double-digit biomass yield gains in many cases — a remarkable level of improvement by crop science standards, the company said. High yields are needed since widely dispersed sources of biomass are cost-prohibitive to harvest and transport.
Anna Rath, vice-president of commercial development, says that switchgrass and high-biomass sorghum can provide new options for growers, especially on underperforming acres.
While she expects the bulk of Blade seed to be sold to bioenergy companies this first year, the company has set aside seed for growers interested in gaining experience with these crops as the market for biomass develops.
"With mandates for 21 billion gallons of biofuels from non-corn sources and renewed interest in cleaner-burning alternatives to coal, energy crops could offer farm operators a sizeable opportunity. No doubt growers with experience under their belts will have a head start as bioenergy companies begin looking for larger-scale supplies of biomass, or locations to site new facilities," Rath said.
There are various state and federal initiatives to support growers, including the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), which is expected to be introduced soon by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Frank Hardimon, Blade sales director, said many bioenergy producers are looking for a mix of crops to provide flexibility from year to year and to mitigate risk. "With a perennial and an annual crop in our product portfolio, we can support a broad range of geographies and production systems," he said.
Blade seed products include two improved switchgrass seed varieties — EG 1101 and EG 1102 — and two new high-biomass sorghum hybrids — ES 5200 and ES 5201.
EG 1101 is a lowland-type switchgrass bred for greater biomass yields and better establishment. It has high biofuel conversion potential, and has shown superior conversion characteristics for biochemical and thermochemical processes.
"It may work well in a two-cut system in high rainfall areas," said Hardimon.
A similar cultivar, EG 1102, is adapted farther north than EG 1101. Several switchgrass varieties suited to mid- and northern-latitudes are also available from Blade.
ES 5200 and ES 5201 are two high-biomass sorghum hybrids that offer high yield potential in single-cut harvest systems. Since the plants generally do not produce grain heads until very late in the season, if at all, they continue growing — and producing more biomass — until early autumn or the first killing freeze. "This offers the potential for tremendous productivity," said Hardimon.
Blade will also have sorghum hybrids suited to multi-cut harvest systems.
Blade will also be the first major brand to package sorghum seed by count rather than weight — an industry practice that has been well-received in corn and soybeans. "This allows producers to purchase only the amount of seed they need rather than having to over-buy to cover variations in seeds per pound," Hardimon said.
Likewise, Blade switchgrass seed will be sold as pounds of pure live seed (PLS) — rather than bulk weight — so customers will purchase only viable seeds.
Seed will begin shipping as early as January 2009, ahead of spring plantings.
Growers can find more information about these products or book seed at www.BladeEnergy.com.

Fonteyn and Nureyev: The supreme fulfilment of suppressed desires (credit: Donald Southern)
On the bottom shelves of antiquarian bookstores that I have frequented all my adult life sits a row of exquisite photograph books in immaculate condition, pencil-marked on the cover at an affordable price of £5, sometimes less.
From one visit to the next, the books lie unmoved. None is ever sold, stolen or smudged by a browser's thumbprint. The books are the last witnesses to a lost history, relics of a bygone fusion of music, movement and mind.
They contain some of the most famous names of their day: Karsavina and Lopokova; Markova and De Valois; Lifar and Massine; Fonteyn and Nureyev; Balanchine and Martha Graham. For half of the 20th century, roughly between the Bolshevik and the sexual revolutions, theirs was the art form that appealed to the broadest public.
Ballet was the all-in-one art. It offered the glory of a skin-tight body in motion, the ear-pricking appeal of new music by great composers, the exquisite refinements of stage design and, often as not, a monumental underlying idea. When Frederick Ashton choreographed the Symphonic Variations of César Franck at Covent Garden in 1948, he seemed to address many of the major postwar confusions — from the role of the individual in a collectivised society, to the loss of pastoral England, to the lures of faith and forbidden sex.
Ballet was, in its heyday, the focus of an intense intellectual preoccupation. Its chief cheerleader was the cleverest man in England — the economist John Maynard Keynes, whose love for Lydia Lopokova initiated state funding of the arts. But Keynes was not a lone mind. The Royal Opera House bristled with Oxbridge brains on its board: the historians Isaiah Berlin and Noel Annan, the economic pessimist Wynne Godley. And similar cerebral power would be seen at the ballet in Paris, Berlin and New York. It was, at the time, socially and intellectually unacceptable not to be familiar with dance. More than the tainted Ring of Richard Wagner, ballet in the mid-20th century exemplified the Gesamtkunstwerk, the union of all arts in a single form.
And that's without accounting for its sexual allure. Ballet was an art that satisfied diverse proclivities and exalted those who were felt to be, in certain inexpressible ways, champions of sexual performance. Margot Fonteyn may have looked demure but, behind her genteel pliés, men and women of the most humdrum respectability sensed and empathised with an explosive temperament that they could never hope to emulate. When Rudolf the wild Tartar snatched Margot in his arms and waved her aloft, the world witnessed a consummation beyond fantasy. For half a century, ballet was the supreme fulfilment of suppressed desires.

Safeco Field: The Effect Of Moving In The Fences
[twitter-follow screen_name='mlbreports' show_screen_name='yes'
Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Sam Evans (Baseball Writer):
The Mariners made a decision regarding the dimensions of Safeco Field in October that will likely change the way the Mariners front office will attempt to put a potent baseball team on the field. By bringing in the fences, the Mariners are symbolizing that they have moved on from the early Jack Zdurencik philosophy that the Mariners could win in Safeco Field with pitching in defense. This move could entice some free agent position players that normally would not want to play in such a hard ballpark to hit home runs in. By moving the fences iTTn at Safeco, more runs will be scored at Safeco and the Mariners will likely no longer play in debatably the most pitcher-friendly park in the American League.
It's pretty easy to see why the Mariners organization has finally decided to move in the fences at Safeco. Since 2000, the Mariners have scored the fewest runs of any American League team. In 2012, Seattle ranked last in the AL in runs scored per game, home runs, and batting average at home. The Mariners were a far better team on the road then at home. Right-handed hitters like Jesus Montero and Casper Wells had their power numbers and projections greatly affected by spending their first full seasons in Seattle. The Mariners had their reasons for moving their fences, and if they believe the new dimensions will help them win more ballgames, there should be no argument that Seattle is not making the right move.

I went to RMK today for their launch of the Curl Separate Mascara.
I tried out the product, which was fine – lengthening and separating, but I didn't love it enough to spend £20 on it.
But I had my eye on the Quad, 06, a mix of minty greens and black –
It can be worn in a very fresh way, or in a smokey way, using the black.
I was also tempted into buy a Indelible Lipstick in Beige – I have never had a lipstick from this range before, but it feels like liquid silk (or whatever that would feel like.) It melts on with warm lips –
My eyes after the make over –
The pictures don't do the look justice! The grey in the palette is very shimmery and this overall look was very striking.
I also bought – Liquid Eyeshadow in Lilac –
Not stunning but a really lovely base for my summery purples.
Then for my collection, I got the summery blue eyeshadow –
This is very glittery and cute. The texture is a little harder than the other colours but its a pretty bold, unique blue!
I highly recommend the range of Indelible lipsticks – they are very glossy and soft, which is great for my dry lips. I also love the quad I bought – a must for green eyeshadow lovers.

The new 2014 SRT Viper Time Attack is a special edition Viper that is being built to absolutely own every track it lays rubber on. Built as a street-legal performance vehicle and based on the SRT model, the TA is the lightest Viper in the lineup at 3,390 pounds. It builds upon the vehicle's ultra-low center of gravity, 50/50 weight distribution and largest contact patch in the production car world.
The Viper TA is equipped with specially-developed chassis parts that were designed to attain the most out of the racecar-like chassis while inspiring confidence in whoever grips the wheel. The available Advanced Aerodynamics Package includes new spring rates, dampers, sway bars, and Brembo brake components in an effort to create a vehicle that ranks among the most capable track-ready production cars in the world. It also includes a carbon fiber front splitter and rear spoiler to provide up to a 700-percent increase of downforce at 150mph. These upgrades glue the SRT Viper TA to the track all while retaining improved balance and thermal saturation resistance.
"The new 2014 SRT Viper TA is engineered for the serious performance enthusiast who needs a car that can be driven daily yet has mind-boggling limits on a road course that would rival many track-only cars. As one of the best handling and fastest supercars available on the market today, the TA enables our customers to take their passion for high performance driving to the next level," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, SRT Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "The SRT engineering team set out to create a world-class supercar that has few competitors on the track or the road at any price."
Race-tuned calibration for the two-mode Bilstein DampTronic suspension system is a unique element of the 2014 Viper TA, which also features a lighter underhood carbon fiber structural X-brace in place of the standard aluminum brace. This means a 50-percent increase in torsional rigidity and stiffness. The Brembo two-piece brakes are 32-millimeters wide and feature high thermal-capacity rotors and pads for extreme track usage. Combined with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, the Viper TA has no issues stopping on a dime.
A handcrafted all-aluminum 8.4L mid-front V-10 overhead-valve engine powers the 2014 Viper TA with the production of 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. This fact alone is incredible in that the TA cranks out the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports-car engine in the world.
Now, onto what sets the TA apart visually. The 2014 SRT Viper TA will be offered in three exclusive limited-edition hues. TA Orange will coat 93 of the Vipers, 33 of them will be Venom Black, and another 33 will be offered in Bright White. Each will be fit with Sidewinder II wheels, which are super lightweight, and black anodized brake calipers with a TA Orange Viper logo. Rear width proportions are accentuated by a carbon fiber applique.
The cabin is all black with orange accent stitching on the Sabelt fabric racing seats, instrument panel, center stack, console, pull brake, shifter boot, shifter head, steering wheel, and upper doors. The aforementioned Sabelt seats are composed of lightweight fiberglass shells created by transfer molding technology, which enables mass reduction and long-term durability. Driver and passenger seats can accommodate 3- or 6-point harnesses.
Production of the 2014 SRT Viper TA has already begun at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan and the cars are set to arrive at dealerships before the year is over.

An article from the Moscow correspondent of the New York Times has left me perplexed. On one level the story entitled "Punk riffs take on God and Putin" is a silly piece of journalism.
What do I mean by silly? I'm not quite sure myself. The tone of the story is half post-modernist supercilious sneer half celebrity profile for People magazine. Now these are subjective assessments of mine and I find the style in which this article was written not to my taste. But taste is neither here nor there.
It is the journalism on display that has me perplexed. There is no balance, no sense of history to this story as well as an excess of adjectives. The heroes and villains are one dimensional characters. And at bottom, the story displays a worldview that affirms Pussy Riot's (the heroes in our tale) intellectual condescension towards the aspirations of Russia's church and her people.
Stylistically, this story is silly -- journalistically, this story falls short -- morally, this story is a wreck.
Follow me through and see if you see what I see.
MOSCOW — In the month since it performed an unsanctioned "punk prayer service" at Christ the Savior Cathedral, entreating the Virgin Mary to liberate Russia from Vladimir V. Putin, the feminist punk band Pussy Riot has stirred up a storm about the role of the church, art and women in Russian society.
The group has been accused of blasphemy; three of the women are in pre-trial detention and could face up to seven years in prison.
Video of their performance, which went viral on YouTube, shows five Pussy Riot members in trademark masks dancing, arms flailing, in front of the altar of the cathedral, a vast structure rebuilt in the 1990s on the site of a cathedral that was blown up on Stalin's orders in 1931.
The cathedral, where Patriarch Kirill I celebrates Christmas and Easter services attended by Mr. Putin and Dmitri A. Medvedev, the departing president, has become a symbol of the ties between church and state in the post-Soviet era.
The story then moves to a recitation of local reactions, noting that "top officials in the Russian Orthodox Church have called for the band's members to be strictly punished — at times tempering this demand by saying that they do not insist on a long jail sentence."
Soft and hard statements are offered with "Russian Orthodox nationalists" calling for the group to be "flogged" while "other Orthodox activists have condemned such calls as shameful." However, no names or examples are offered.
The first voice to appear is that of:
The Rev. Vsevolod Chaplin, a senior Orthodox cleric known for his own outrageous statements on a range of topics, reiterated on Monday that there were no grounds for leniency and "that this text and this video are extremist materials, and their dissemination constitutes an extremist activity."
The members of Pussy Riot "have declared war on Orthodox people, and there will be a war," he told the Interfax news agency. "If the blasphemers are not punished, God will punish them in eternity and here through people."
The group's attorneys follow with their contention the charges have not been proved, and at that point the article notes that the:
scandal has had the interesting side effect of breaking a taboo around the word Pussy (Poosi in the Russian transliteration), as the band is usually referred to in short. It has been mouthed without embarrassment by commentators, officials and Russian Orthodox priests. Pravmir, an Orthodox news Web site, has translated the meaning of Pussy Riot as "uprising of the uterus."
The story then offers details of the incident that led to the girls' arrest noting the performance included the refrain about Orthodox bishops:
"The K.G.B. chief is their chief saint, he leads protesters to prison under convoy," reads one verse in a version published on several Web sites. "In order to not offend His Holiness, women must give birth and love."
The chorus is in the form of an appeal to the Virgin Mary. "O Birthgiver of God," sings the band, using Russian Orthodox liturgical language for addressing the Virgin Mary — "get rid of Putin, get rid of Putin, get rid of Putin."
One of the groups members, the Times notes has been:
criticized especially harshly for participating in a 2008 orgy at a biology museum, in which she is shown having sex with her husband just days before giving birth. She has been condemned as desecrating motherhood and harming her child — now an adorable braided blonde who made a taped appeal for her mother's release.
The article then closes with a comment from a feminist writer who states the performance has nothing to do with feminism.
In defense of the way this story was framed, the International Herald Tribune printed this as part of a series on women after it first appeared in the Times. So perhaps the audience of this story were readers of People, who would respond appropriately to the bit about the "adorable braided blonde" who pleads for the release of her mother, and the lede sentence that promises a discussion on "the role of the church, art and women in Russian society."
But this discussion never happens. Perhaps the closing comment that this is not feminism supplied the discussion, but it is otherwise absent from the story. Another omission is the nature of the crime. One need look outside the Times to find the women are being charged with "hooliganism", not blasphemy. Their past public performances have led to their being charged with disorderly conduct and being let off with a fine, but the Cathedral incident on Shrove Tuesday has prompted public prosecutors to up the ante from a misdemeanor to a felony.
And what does the Times mean when it says the newly constructed cathedral, built on the spot where the old cathedral had stood until it was dynamited in 1931 by Lazar Kaganovich on the orders of Stalin, is a "symbol of the ties between church and state in the post-Soviet era." Does this imply the church is a tool of President Putin? There is no explanation of this comment, nor voices speaking to this contention.
In the introduction to Fr. Chaplin, what does the Times mean by saying he is "known for his own outrageous statements on a range of topics"? These "outrageous" statements are not cited nor has the dialogue between the church and Pussy Riot taking place through Twitter and the media been explored. The article also implies that Fr. Chaplin wants to see the girls imprisoned. However, he has stated that he wants them to be punished, but not jailed.
As an aside, I met Fr. Chaplin at the World Council of Churches meeting in 2005 in Porto Allegre, Brazil. And yes, he is a character. I sat with him while an official from a liberal American denomination was giving a speech and Fr. Chaplain played the cantankerous Russian -- muttering under his breath, "heretic", "schismatic", "infidel", "Bolshevik" every so often.
While the article does mention that senior Orthodox clergy were disturbed by the incidence due to memories of the Soviet past, it does not explain why such memories would provoke such a sharp reaction. Nor does the charge made by Pussy Riot against against the Orthodox bishops of being stooges of the KGB get a hearing.
The Russian Orthodox Church was nearly wiped out in the Stalinist era. The state sponsored persecution of the Orthodox Church began with the sort of spectacle undertaken by Pussy Riot in Moscow's chief cathedral in the 1920's eventually led to the arrest of 168,300 priests, monks and nuns in the purges of 1937-1938 (of these over 100,000 were shot). Some of those who survived, did so through collaboration with the regime. The extent of this collaboration was such that the 2008 the Keston Institute report that outed Patriarch Alexy II as a KGB agent was not that much of a surprise.
Stylistically I did not care for the story. As journalism, I believe it failed to live up to its lede. It did not offer a discussion of the "role of the church, art and women in Russian society;" or a balanced or thorough account of the issues.
But the cheer-leading for Pussy Riot displayed a failing of sensibility. Russian society is going through the painful process of rebuilding itself in the wake of the Soviet era. But this process is not fast enough for Pussy Riot and the New York Times, which believes that by insulting the church -- a symbol of Putin's state in the Times' and Pussy Riot's view -- a short cut to social change will be found. They seek "perfection as the crow flies" to use Michael Oakeshott's phrase.
By pleading for tolerance for the actions of Pussy Riot, the Times seeks to elevate certain liberal ideas and constituencies above public criticism rather than trusting that they will eventually emerge victorious on their merits in open public debate. Framing the story as it does, the Times endorses the irrationalism of Pussy Riot against a villainous Russian government and a stodgy Orthodox Church.
I'm not quite settled in my thoughts, however. Am I taking a shovel to a souffle, beating with a cudgel this story from Moscow? Is too much being read into this article, or is there too little to read? Should the Times step back a bit, or can we trust it to pick the winners and losers in stories from far away about which we know very little?
What say you GetReligion readers?

Southern Hemisphere UpdateOctober 02, 2004
And with that, Web Essentials 2004 is a wrap. The richest and most inspiring conference-going experience I've had all year was definitely this one in Sydney. (Updated 4 Oct)
Amidst the wettest drought I've ever seen (I'm told there was a drought, but you could have fooled me with all this rain), we just ended two days dissecting the ins and outs of standards based design, accessibility practice and law, and oh yes, there was a smackdown.
My thoughts about the conference will likely formulate and resolve over the coming days. For now this is a simple 'hello world' to mention I'm still alive and kicking. An internet connection that doesn't force one to pick from a row of Windows machines is pretty hard to come by, as has been documented — wireless is around, but not as convenient as you'd hope. And to those expecting email from me (you know who you are) — sorry, outgoing email might not resume until I'm back.
Conference slides have finally been uploaded but they're bound to make little sense out of context. Melbourne is a go, though we'll fly. This Tuesday, the 5th, WSG's Melbourne chapter is throwing a social that Doug and I are planning on being at. Show up if you're in the area, details will hopefully be on the WSG site soon enough. (for my benefit too — the organizers would be wise to email me their phone numbers ASAP)
Oh, and one last thing. Announced publicly for the first time at WE04, here's a little something I've been working on lately:
Due early 2005, published by New Riders, co-written by Molly E. Holzschlag, you've been contacted if your design is in it, and available for pre-order on Amazon.com if you look hard enough. I think that about covers it, and yep, we're excited as all heck.
Update: Currently in the Sydney airport awaiting a flight to Melbourne. Still no go on outgoing email, so yes, I'll be there tomorrow night. Got the directions and everything, thanks Russ.
Oh, and Shaun Inman is our book's tech editor, so feel free to announce that, Shaun.

Isn't funny how we often attach memories to clothes or vice verse? I got these tweed shorts in Paris in early March during fashion week, optimistically I wanted to wear them the following day with the matching tweed jacket. Instead I wore them with black tights, a thick knitted turtle neck, coat, boots and gloves, 2 handbags for umbrella and camera stuff, and I felt like a stuffed michelin man. Though it was a great day back then the memories that got stuck was the bitter icy cold wind and rain. Needless to say that when I jumped into them again the other day it was a totally different feeling, so much more enjoyable, feeling free in the summer heat, and now I've deleted my old memory and replaced with my new one!
I wore an old jumper from H&M, tweed shorts by Sandro, shoes by Alexander Wang, sunnies by Acne, plexi bracelets Cooee and bag Celine.

Gary Copeland is a photographer who lives vicariously through his work. When he first started out, he felt that photography was not just his career but it was also about "being the best rock photographer I could be." Throughout the years, Gary has come to the realization that it's not always about hanging out with the coolest bands and getting those best pictures. There needs to be more substance behind it, and he realizes that with that comes working with a team of people. This has helped him "achieve larger photographs and goals."
Meeting Big Goals With Business Storage
When moving from small to larger goals, the need for storage becomes an issue. Gary states, "My photographic life before Seagate Business Storage was different. It was 'smaller.' By that, I mean the files were smaller in resolution. I wasn't shooting as much and didn't need to keep such a deep and robust archive for my clients." When a photographer is asked by a client to shoot from many different angles and take more than just one shot from each angle, storage for these files are important. That's where Seagate has played a very important role for Gary.
When asked about any specific times when it's been important to pull up files for a client, Gary was quick to respond, "I can't point to one story. But I can tell you that I don't go two weeks without someone needing some image that I took years ago. I know I can always go to my Seagate Business Storage to quickly and efficiently access all of my photographs that I've taken over the last 10 years and find what I need." Having the availability to the plethora of photographs that have been taken over the years isn't something many photographers could use.
Stability Puts Seagate Business Storage First
There are many reasons that different professionals have chosen Seagate storage over the years. Gary is quick to share his main reason for choosing Seagate Business Storage: "I have a long history of using and trusting Seagate for my storage needs. Seagate excels in stability, and that is what I need most." He is currently using three Seagate Business Storage units (a 8TB and two 12TB filled almost completely) as his primary archive. They are RAID-ed and connected to his studio computer for fast access. He also uses 3TB USB 3.0 drives and delivers photos to clients on 1TB Backup Plus portable USB drives.
Triple Photo Backups With Seagate
Over the years, Gary has never had to worry about losing important data because he always makes sure to backup his digital assets on Seagate Business Storage. When he's out on a shoot, he'll generally store his photos on multiple portable Seagate USB drives. At this point, the images are taken back to his studio and copied over to his archive. Gary then makes sure to deliver the images to the client on a 1TB drive. That means there are three copies of a photo shoot around at all times.
A company like Gary Copeland Photography can greatly appreciate all the technology that Seagate has to offer. Not only is it a great way for Gary to upload his images once he's done with a photo shoot, but it's also a way for him to access any of those images at a moments notice if the client needs it. Gary states, "The Seagate Business Storage looks great in my studio and works flawlessly." When a pro like Gary can rely on technology for so many years without any major issues, that shows not only his confidence in the company but also with the products themselves.
"I know I can always go to my Seagate Business Storage to quickly and efficiently access all of my photographs that I've taken over the last 10 years and find what I need."

With strong early word of mouth and solid reviews, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill's "22 Jump Street" was poised to be a hit before Schmidt and Jenko even began their latest antics. When the film took in well over $20 million on Friday and wound up with a $60 million weekend -- more than the opening for any R-rated comedy besides "The Hangover 2" -- it bore out those blockbuster expectations.
There are plenty of reasons for the film's success: its winking self-awareness, a likable pair of comedy stars, the touch of directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the absence of anything else in that raunch-comedy vein (indeed, after a glut of R-rated comedies in recent summers, the output finally seems to have settled down.)
One factor you're unlikely to hear in the list of reasons the movie became a hit is the "Jump Street" name itself. Sure, the franchise gets a clever poke or two in at the TV series of a quarter-century ago, making it funnier to those Marilu Henner types who remember it. And the movie's sequel status ensured that people knew what they were in for this time around.
But the truth is that this film franchise could have been called something else from the get-go and been just as successful. Did the "Jump Street" name help the original? Maybe? A tiny bit? Maybe not? For all the nostalgia we children of the '80s feel for the school-set action franchise (Johnny Depp! The "Married With Children" Fox era!), it ranked about No. 21 on the list of reasons to see that movie. Many of those younger or older than us, needless to say, didn't know the show existed in the first place.
The most compelling piece of evidence that a comedy hit of a certain size doesn't need a presold name is the modern R-rated franchise to which this (and, indeed, all hit comedies of this ilk) are compared. "The Hangover" series was a totally original name that neither relied on nor needed a TV show people knew.
Of course the real reason that the "Jump Street" name was on there had less to do with marketing than internal Hollywood logic. A pitch meeting is a perilous thing, and studio executives greenlighting the first film took comfort in the fact that somewhere, at some time, something with this name had come out and attracted a few people to it. Studio executives like to know that if it all goes kablooey they have a plausible reason to point to ("well, it seemed like a good idea -- our market-research team said people loved the original!"). So a TV show remake, even when it's not a TV show remake, gets a greenlight.
(Sure, I guess, nominally the idea of undercover cops in a school might require a "reboot" tag for legal reasons. But in a Hollywood culture that has replicated far more specific ideas with far fewer repercussions, this hardly seems like it would have been an insurmountable obstacle.)
I suppose none of this really matters. They could the film "Timbuktu Returns" as long as they put smart creators like Lord and Miller and beguiling performers like Tatum and Hill. Audiences will be happy, and studios will be happy too.
But still. For an industry so concerned about PR, this has always felt to me like a misstep, reinforcing to the casual observer that modern Hollywood lacks originality and just lazily relies on the efforts of its forbears -- even when such an idea is manifestly untrue. Audiences have demonstrated they don't care what a movie is called as long as it's funny. Doesn't seem like a big leap for Hollywood to do the same.

I just returned from a long job interview that took me no less than 3 hrs. They gave me a job application form to fill in and the question "What's your religion?" was in it. I almost got a nervous break down, I felt tempted to write Jehovah Witness but thought it would be more interesting to put "None". The reason why I didn't wrote Atheist is because Atheism is not a religion, so basically I don't have a religion. If they were asking me whether I believe in god(s) then I would have answered I'm an Atheist but I think that is none of their bussiness.
Anyway now my friends and family members say that I should've wrote I'm a Catholic... But that is a small progress that I didn't put Atheist (4 years ago I was asked about Euthanasia and I said I agree with it and the recruiter sent me home lol). I know that there won't be any sort of punishment for me if I lied about that issue and that I would actually get a benefit from it, but I don't feel like going around saying I'm something I am not just to please some random person who doesn't even know me.
Or maybe is because is not a matter of live or death.
So.. would you lie about your atheism to get a job?
Views: 676
What job were you applying for that could have any legal reason to ask this question?
A telecommunications company that in the US is known as Verizon. (My family is paying for my Bachelor degree but no way they want to help me to buy make up, clothes, and vanity stuff so I need to finance that myself, otherwise I would have said f*ck this!)
You should find yourself a sugar daddy to pay for all those vanity things :)
How did it went when you lied about it? If you don't mind the question.
Gotcha! There shouldn't be embarrasement in being an Atheist, but some people say there are benefits in posing as a christian in certain situations.
It was illegal of them to ask.
Yes in the US is illegal but in countries where there is no diversity (in the religious sense) it is not illegal.
No. I wouldn't lie about it if asked. The thing is, a job interview is like the start of a romantic relationship. If you lie to get them to like you, you'll either have to keep up the charade, or eventually they'll find out you were lying.
But that question is completely illegal in the US (unless religious identity is central to the purpose of the employer, like a church). In theory, an employer might be looking for a non-religious person so they would have someone to work on religious holidays. But rather than ask about your religion, they have to phrase it in a job-specific way (e.g., "is there anything that would prevent you from working on weekends or holidays?").
In a job interview last year (for an association of real estate agents - mos def not a religious group), and was asked a few 'personality' questions. I got the feeling they were trying to get me to talk about religion without asking directly. They asked what books were on my nightstand (I believe it was Mockingjay and Origin of Species at the time). And they asked who I would want to have dinner with if I could pick anyone, living or dead. (I listed off a few astrophysicist types.) So - they wouldn't have to read much between the lines to assume I'm not SuperChristian. I did not get the job. But really, would not have wanted to work there anyway.
Your answer of "none" was perfect!
That's interesting, you are right is clear they were expecting you to say the bible and Jesus, so this christians have found new "smart" ways to filter out non-believers. I wonder what was the face expression of the recruiter when you answered to those questions? Sometimes their body language and facial expression give them away.
She actually looked more confused than anything. ;)
I'd either put that it's private or none, like yourself.

Yes. I would consider it a torture of sorts. I used to teach a primary( Sunday school) class that consisted of eight five to six year olds. I remember teaching a lesson about Satan's fall and hell and such. I still remember the fear in a boy's eyes as he asked me if he was going to hell for hitting his sister.
I look back and only feel disgust and loathing for what I did. Thank (insert here) that I was able to break free of religion and find my rational mind.
I agree that it is a form of psychological torture. The damnation-salvation factor traps a lot of otherwise rational people in religion. However, the legality of teaching about hell is a whole other debate because then we're getting into limiting people's expression of religion and freedom of speech.
As a side note, fear of hell was a major part of what kept me from planning and executing suicide as a catholic child. Then again, if I hadn't been a bisexual in the catholic church, I probably wouldn't have ever become suicidal in the first place.
I don't necessarily think that the teaching of hell should be illegal. I say that because if you teach children that throughout history hell was believed as true by many people then it isn't harmful. At the same time one should make it clear that there is no evidence for hell's existence nor is there any reason that the children should fear it. Once all the facts are presented on hell then the children can decide for themselves whether hell is real or not.
But religious organizations don't work that way. They never let people choose and decide for themselves.
They have a choice about the degree of their teachings though. My religious education was pretty mild. I was certainly taught about the concept of hell and that's fine. It's such a common idea and is part of many figures of speech. They'll be exposed to it one way or the other.
But my church also never made it a point to actively scare children into obedience under the threat of eternal damnation. Others certainly do. Either unwittingly because they take the whole thing too seriously or because the church is blatantly malevolent. In any case it can leave lasting psychological damage and is definitely a form of child abuse.

Hoy, Orkney's second-largest island, rises sharply out of the sea to the southwest of the Mainland. Its dramatic landscape is made up of great glacial valleys and mountainous moorland rising to more than 1500ft, dropping into the sea off the red sandstone cliffs of St John's Head. The passenger ferry from Stromness arrives at Moaness Pier, near the tiny village of Hoy.
RACKWICK, four miles west of Hoy village, is an old crofting and fishing settlement squeezed between towering sandstone cliffs on the west coast. A small farm building beside the hostel serves as a tiny museum, with a few old photos and a brief rundown of Rackwick's rough history. Despite its isolation, Rackwick has a steady stream of walkers and climbers passing through en route to the Old Man of Hoy, a great sandstone column some 450ft high, perched on an old lava flow which protects it from the erosive power of the sea. The well-trodden footpath from Rackwick is an easy three-mile walk (3hr return). Halfway along the road between Hoy village and Rackwick, duckboards head across the heather to the Dwarfie Stane, Orkney's most unusual chambered tomb, cut from a solid block of sandstone and dating back to 3000 BC.
Scapa Flow Visitor Centre & Museum
Hoy played a major role for the Royal Navy during both world wars and the harbour and hills around Lyness are still scarred with the scattered remains of concrete structures that once served as hangars and storehouses during World War II. The old oil pump house has been turned into the Scapa Flow Visitor Centre & Museum, a fascinating insight into wartime Orkney. The pump house itself retains much of its old equipment – you can ask for a working demo of one of the oil-fired boilers – used to pump oil off tankers moored at Lyness into sixteen tanks, and from there into underground reservoirs cut into the neighbouring hillside. Even the café has an old NAAFI feel about it.

Asthma has two main components that make it tough to breathe: inflammation (swelling and excess mucus build-up in the airways) and airway constriction (tightening of the muscles surrounding the airways). Treating both components of the disease is necessary for many patients to achieve optimal asthma control and to help prevent symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Whether mild or life-threatening, these symptoms can interfere with sleeping and disrupt daily life.
Asthma can occur at any age, although it most often begins early in life. Young children who have frequent respiratory infections and episodes of wheezing are at the highest risk of developing asthma that continues beyond age six. Other risk factors include having eczema (an allergic skin condition), or parents who have asthma. Physicians diagnose asthma based on medical history, a physical exam, results from lung function tests, and other measures.
While researchers don't know asthma's exact cause, they believe it's the result of a combination of factors such as family genes and environment. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) continues to fund research on asthma to further understanding of the disease and the best ways to control asthma in children, adults, and special populations while working to accelerate the translation of new research discoveries into practice.
Asthma currently affects about 25 million people in the United States, including seven million children. More than half of people with asthma experience at least one asthma attack (a worsening of asthma symptoms) each year. These attacks lead to more than 1.7 million emergency department visits and about 450,000 hospitalizations annually.
Moreover, while most deaths due to asthma are preventable, more than 3,000 people in the United States die from asthma each year. Altogether, the direct and indirect costs of asthma to the U.S. economy are projected to reach $20.7 billion in 2010.
Asthma disparities are a persistent problem. Urban and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities bear a disproportionately greater asthma burden. These disparities also exist along ethnic and racial lines. Compared with the overall population, African American and Puerto Rican populations are more likely to have asthma, to experience greater asthma severity, and to have higher-than-average rates of hospitalization, emergency room visits, and deaths due to asthma.
Although there is no cure for asthma, with the right care, most people with asthma can minimize their symptoms, prevent asthma flare-ups, and improve their quality of life. To guide treatment decisions, clinicians can look to third and latest set of asthma guidelines issued by the NHLBI's National Asthma Education and Prevention Program in 2007. With appropriate medical care, healthy environments, and well-informed and empowered patients, asthma can be controlled and patients can lead full, active lives. Health care providers and patients should accept nothing less.

The Crown Heights Community Mediation Center is now accepting applications for the 2011 Leadership Training Institute. The Leadership Training Institute is a program aimed at bringing together community members who are dedicated to working to improve Crown Heights to both strengthen their leadership skills and build relationships with others in the community.
Through the Institute, participants will meet with trainers who are experts in their fields on a variety of topics to learn from each other, and develop and ultimately implement their skills. These topics include networking, community organizing, grant writing and fundraising, coalition building, working with the media, and event planning. Participants will be able to put their newly acquired skills to use by organizing a community project as a final project of the Institute. Past groups have organized a local photography contest, a resource and entertainment fair to complement the Annual Family Day Picnic in Crown Heights, a healthy foods expo and published a guide for access to healthy food in Crown Heights.
This year, LTI will have two cohorts: One will build on momentum from last year's group by continuing to work on healthy food access and the other will work on an anti-gun violence project related to the work of our program, Save Our Streets Crown Heights.
At the end of the program, participants will come away with concrete skills as well as relationships with others in the community who are dedicated to improving Crown Heights.
Applications are available for download HERE, and can be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax to 718-774-5349, or in person at the Mediation Center; 256 Kingston Ave. Please direct all question to Micah Weiss at 718-773-6886.

Related one is dreaming up memories themselves. Like you'll "remember" being in a place before, having a certain history there, but upon waking and looking back you realize that you never actually previously dreamt the contents of that history. Yet it felt real. Makes me wonder about our waking memory/history sometimes...In other repeat dreams, the characters remember what you and they did and recall what was done months or years prior in the last encounter. How is that possible? I dunno. (a total mystery)
Good point. I think abductions can leave traces like this in the dreamscape even if the events were erased or compartmentalized away from the conscious mind.I think anything you allow to touch your mind is also going to leave behind traces of it's experiences from Real Life embedded in your inner workings.
Spot on, have had phantom and demon dreams occasionally. I can go weeks/months without them, then for several days it's phantom city. Not sure what determines the timing of that. If one follows me back from someplace I've been, or someone I've interacted with (per lines of association) or something dumb I did that earned retraction of spiritual protection or what.When the dead touch your dreamscape it seems like there is alot of pursuit going on and other dead beings constantly accosting you. They also almost 25% of the time always have a dark place within the dream that is like a scary abyss. It's always represented as an out of the way location which is full of absolute terrors.
And that thing where they lay down next to you and spoon to presumably feed off your lifeforce. That can manifest in a dream in disguised ways.
I've had the dreams about dark labyrinthine basements and sub-basements, the old creepy doorways or hatches, and overall morbid dreadful vibe. Also had a few about being around dead people coming/exiting through portals. They seemed a bit loopy to put it mildly. Your dead dreams were more intense than mine though.
Interesting, will keep that in mind.After I knew of God, the few intrusions that do occur, are now handled with a prayer within the dream. As far as I know, God seems to always be closeby even somehow capable of seeing what is happening inside of the dreamscape. When I have an intrusion by some entity and a prayer brings God around, the entity seems to lock up and freezes (not like a dream freeze) as if something truly strong has it in an invisible grip. They feel...I dunno...terror? Reckoning? I don't know.

How Can I Get New Gadgets for Vista Sidebar?
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about getting new Gadgets for Vista Sidebar, the type of keyboard on the BlackBerry Curve, and whether the iPhone will allow third-party programs to be installed.
I really enjoy the Sidebar feature in Windows Vista. But how can I get new Gadgets for it?
Gadgets — the small programs that run in the new Vista Sidebar, which is a strip along the side of the desktop — can be found in various places on the Web. But one good place to get them is a site maintained by Microsoft called the Windows Live Gallery, at http://gallery.live.com. This site also has other useful downloads, such as toolbar buttons.
Does the new BlackBerry Curve have the half-keyboard, like the Pearl, or the full one like the larger BlackBerrys?
The Curve, which is wider than the Pearl but narrower than other BlackBerrys, has the full keyboard. It does, however, use the Pearl-type scroll ball instead of the older side-mounted wheel.
Will the new Apple iPhone allow users to download applications beyond those that Apple ships with the phone?
Not immediately, when it goes on sale June 29. However, when I interviewed Apple CEO Steve Jobs last week at the annual D: All Things Digital conference, he said Apple is working on a way to allow third-party programs to be installed on the iPhone: "I think sometime later this year we will find a way to do that, because that is our intent."
* * *
Because of the volume of email I receive, I can't routinely answer individual questions by email, or consult on individual problems or purchasing decisions. I read all questions I receive and select three each week to answer in the column.

I am learning to rock climb, and I have heard that I will need to belay climbers, so if they fall, my belay will stop the fall and prevent an injury.
What do I need to do to properly belay my climbing partner?

I am learning to rock climb, and I have heard that I will need to belay climbers, so if they fall, my belay will stop the fall and prevent an injury.
What do I need to do to properly belay my climbing partner?
Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. Avoid asking multiple distinct questions at once. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm not sure that this is something that can be properly explained over the internet.
You really need to be instructed and supervised by a real person - preferably indoors first. I have found a pretty good instructional video on YouTube, although it is quite basic - I've reviewed a few others on there, and they are unfortunately questionable in their technique.
Belaying is about judgement - you need to give the climber enough slack that they are free to move up the crag, but not so much that they will fall too far if they slip. How you approach belaying will depend on whether the climber is leading or using a top-anchor.
About the only thing I can state absolutely over the internet - you always need to have a grip on the rope that is trailing from your belay/friction device down to the ground. A loose hold on this will just let the rope run through your hand(s) freely in the event of a fall, given you friction burns and endangering the climber.
Of course there are other safety issues as not standing under the climber, wearing a helmet, in case of rock fall. As mentioned above, you should have a qualified guide. Those most qualified will be certified by the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA). Most local rock gyms do have training and most outdoor stores that sell climbing equipment have training sessions. Climbing is a sport that can result in injury and death and choosing to do so should not be taken lightly.

Noteworthy lyrics:
You could still be,
what you want to.
What you said you were,
when I met you.
when you met me.
when I met you.
Noteworthy Lyrics:
We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures.
- and -
And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
Noteworthy Lyrics:
So we lay in the dark
'Cause we've got nothing to say
Just the beating of hearts like two drums in the grey

For those farmers and surveyors who suffer when GPS equipment doesn't work like it's supposed to work, GLONASS is here. Da, the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System, the Russian equivalent of the U.S. Global Positioning System, is being used to augment GPS, and could enhance the reliability of satellite-based positioning systems.
GLONASS is managed for the Russian Federation Government by the Russian Space Forces and is operated by Russia's Coordination Scientific Information Center.
As with GPS, GLONASS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed by a receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time. The signals are free for users.
GLONASS has apparently worked through some political and funding problems, and today has a constellation of 12 operational satellites orbiting Earth. The first GLONASS satellite was launched in 1982. Three more were launched in December 2004.
Up to now, GPS and GLONASS have operated as unintegrated systems. But occasionally unreliable GPS signals renewed efforts to combine them to increase the number of satellites available to U.S. users.
The opportunity was first seized by Javad Ashjaee, a former employee of Trimble born in Iran. The U.S.-educated engineer found a way to integrate the signals from GPS and GLONASS into one receiver and designed a unique antenna for the receiver.
In 2000, Topcon Corporation purchased Ashjaee's Javad Positioning Systems, with offices in San Jose, Calif., and Moscow, Russia. Ashjaee's GPS/GLONASS systems are being manufactured by the newly formed Topcon Positioning Systems.
Receivers that integrate GPS and GLONASS are available for real-time kinetic positioning systems. An RTK system uses a base station located in the field for accurate positioning to within a centimeter — both horizontally and vertically.
This is different from a sub-meter accurate system which relies on a differential signal such as Wide Area Augmentation Signal to enhance satellite signals for accuracy to within a foot.
While using GPS and GLONASS together can help both sub-meter and RTK users, the most important — and cost effective — application is for RTK uses such as levee surveying for rice and soybeans, land-leveling and auto-steer.
Essentially, with RTK systems, you can drive a vehicle across a field and know exactly where you are on Earth as well how far above Earth you are — to within an area the size of a pencil eraser.
John Dice, with Topcon, California, which markets the GPS/GLONASS receivers under the Topcon brand, said there's nothing special about GLONASS other than it increases the number of satellites available and improves satellite geometry.
"To get the most accurate position, you want to have a certain number of satellites in the correct position — at least five — and you want scattered rather than clumped positioning of satellites."
Here's one way to visualize how scattered is better, according to Dice. "If you were sitting at a table and you dropped a string straight down from the ceiling, you have one distance from the ceiling. Say you pulled another four strings directly above you within a 2-foot to 3-foot diameter. If you held the other ends of those strings together above your head, you could move that string back and forth a little bit, meaning the precision is not as good.
"But if you went to the corners of the room and pulled strings to that point, you have a tight position. That's kind of how it works with satellites. That's where simply having the availability of more satellites with GLONASS is helpful. It's not because they're Russian satellites. It's simply the fact that there are more satellites. If we had 35 satellites in the U.S. constellation, that would be great, too."
In levee surveying, a GPS-RTK system can pinpoint exact elevation changes, according to Terry Browning, owner of TOPO Solutions, Bono, Ark., and a Topcon dealer. Adding GLONASS makes it consistently accurate.
"With a satellite system, you're constantly losing and gaining satellites. As your constellation changes, the loss of accuracy can be significant, especially if you're concerned about the vertical reading. The vertical reading is twice as inaccurate at the horizontal.
"If you get off two-tenths of a foot in the vertical, which could happen if the conditions aren't right with a GPS-only system, you're all the way to the next levee if you're surveying levees. During the worst parts of the day for GPS, it will jump off a tenth or two. When it does, it's worthless for surveying levees."
Tree lines can also cause problems for GPS users, according to surveyor David Bader with Welty and Bader Land Leveling Inc., and AgScan Designs in Bastrop, La. For the past four months, Bader has collected elevation and horizontal positioning using a Topcon RTK system with GPS/GLONASS capability. He still uses laser technology for field cuts.
"There is no difference in overall vertical accuracy between GPS alone versus GPS with GLONASS. But you can work longer in the field with GLONASS/GPS simply because there are more satellites to choose from to maintain your RTK fix. When you get in a tight spot when there aren't enough GPS satellites for the base and rover (receivers) to get a RTK solution, there's a GLONASS satellite to help you pull through.
"GPS/GLONASS isn't perfect by any means. I have lost my fix around a tree line with GPS/GLONASS."
The same variations in satellite alignment can also cause variances in light bar systems on tractors used for field activities which use sub-meter accuracy, according to Justin McCuiston, precision ag consultant, Farm Service, Inc., Hoxie, Ark. "Several of our farmers are using sub-meter light bar systems to plant fields using grain drills. We have accuracy to stay within 6 to 12 inches. But during bad times of the day for GPS, we have farmers telling us they can't get within 6 feet sometimes."
"Many times, these errors are diagnosed as problems with the equipment, when it's really a satellite geometry problem," Browning said. "The only way to get around it is adding more satellites. The way it's been done is with GLONASS. When the entire GLONASS constellation is up, trees and buildings that can block signals won't get in the way any more."
Browning added, "Even though there are no GPS/GLONASS sub-meter receivers currently available, GLONASS would benefit sub-meter receiver users."
Browning noted that satellite positioning companies offer free software programs that predict GPS satellite arrangement to help users determine optimum times to schedule a survey or other operation. "But farming is not the type of job that can wait a couple of hours."
Bader said he doesn't rely on prediction software nearly as much as he used to, now that he's using GPS and GLONASS. "There might be two hours out of the day when GPS accuracy is not good enough. With GPS and GLONASS, it might be 10 minutes. I don't see as many bad times during the day with GLONASS and GPS.
Topcon's RTK system consists of two GPS/GLONASS receivers, a rover and a base station, a small tripod with 3-foot legs and a range pole. The rover receiver can be removed from the survey vehicle and placed on the range pole to survey areas that are unreachable by the surveying vehicle.
There are no cables or wires between any of the components offered by Browning thanks to a wireless communication technology called Bluetooth.
A ruggedized tablet PC that Browning supplies with the system also has a voice recognition software option which allows users to perform commands without keystrokes.
"There are no cables and you have internal batteries, so the system is very mobile," said Briley Tomlinson, Craighead Farmers Co-op, Jonesboro, Ark.
"For people who are scared to death of computers and technology, you can operate this equipment exactly the same way you did your laser equipment," Browning said. "Just set up, set your number, and watch those scrolling numbers; they act just the same as an analog laser receiving mast."
Other uses offered by Browning include a levee surveying tool for contractors. "If you pull into a field you're not familiar with, find the high point in the field, drive around the inside perimeter of the field, and the program will predict where the levees will end up on the outside of the field. You still have to drive the inside contours."
The system will also allow users to record where levees are run, according to Browning. "You can come back to the field any year after that and it will show you exactly where the levees are. When you rerun the levees, you don't even need the base station. We can use WAAS.
"You can plant your rice, pull the levees and sow the levees that day. Then your levee rice matures relatively about the same time as your other rice matures."
The Topcon receiver can be configured to use only the GPS or GLONASS signals or both, according to Browning. The Topcon GPS/GLONASS system lists for $36,000.

text: Where do you live? Ever try to ride a motorcycle in the rain day after day? Or how about extreme cold and snow? Commuting with a two wheeled vehicle should not be just for people in warmer climates so I have to say that for millions of commuters, this is a good idea. But they have been saying that it would be in production for many years now, and the selling price more than doubled since the first time they mentioned anything about it. I see it at vaporware myself.

Quality Products Beget Quality Results
Maybe I should have titled this story "weekend rest and recreation" instead of "weekend restoration." It really is amazing how therapeutic detailing and doing a little glamorizing to an old pickup can be. Welcome to my latest truck project—it's a 1976 F-250 Camper Special that I picked up for $300. Besides its incredibly low selling price, what really attracted me to this truck in particular was it still had most of its original paint, and not one dent in the body. There is some serious rust damage on the passenger side of the roof, but I have that to thank for making its original owner decide it was time to let the old girl go for scrap.
The first step I took was to opt for one-stop shopping with Summit Racing to get the products I needed to clean the truck up once I had it home. In no time at all the brands I have the most faith in arrived at my door. Every name-brand product used in this story can be sourced directly from Summit Racing Equipment, which makes it extremely easy and convenient to get what you need.
After an afternoon spent cleaning up my new project, I'm sure I could double my money! That not being my goal though, at least it looks good sitting in the driveway and I feel pretty good about my latest purchase. Not too bad for a day's work!

Adorable Tiny Food Sculptures That Fit on the Tip of Your Finger
Israeli artist Shay Aaron, whose work we first spotted over at booooooom, creates impossibly tiny, handmade clay sculptures of delicious looking treats, most of them on a 1:12 scale. In addition to being mouthwateringly realistic, his tiny food is pretty gorgeous — if Aaron has a dollhouse, those dolls are eating in some serious style. If you're feeling especially covetous, Aaron also makes tiny wearable food art, which you can buy over at his Etsy shop (a chicken soup ring!) but we love these little sculptures best. Click through to see some of the most delectable tiny treats you've ever seen, and then be sure to head over to Aaron's Flickr to see even more of his work.

Between 16 & 23 Years Old and Like To Race? Then Join…
Young Racers' Club
Dedicated to Supporting
Youth In Racing
Andy Gross, Slinger, WI
This month's Young Racers' Club winner hails from the Great State of Wisconsin. Andy Gross is his name and he's getting a $250 Gift Certificate from our good friends at TCI for being selected as this month's winner.
At the age of 18, just 8 days after graduation he left Wisconsin for the NASCAR Techinical Institute in North Carolina. His goal was to make it in the big time world of stock car racing. After graduating from NTI, he started work at a company that made parts for NASCAR racing teams. Meanwhile, his younger brother Nate had been racing for 3 years behind the wheel of a 2001 Caddy Street Stock back home in Wisconsin. After the brothers had a heated argument during Christmas 2007, Dad stepped in and decided it was time to build a second car, a '76 Pontiac Ventura. Dad was roundly criticized for building a leaf spring car by friends and family. The father and sons were told that it was old technology, and that they would never win with it. Still they built it and in 2008, Andy's brother Nate and a few of his racing buddies ran the car to get the bugs out.
Unfortunately, Andy had become a victim of the huge layoff crunch that hit the NASCAR world the past couple of seasons. So, he returned home to Wisconsin and started his rookie year in 2009. Right out of the box Andy won the season opener at Wilmot Raceway, a track the family hadn't originally planned on racing. The early success convinced them to run Wilmot in addition to their home track at Oshkosh. Well, as the season went on Andy recorded 10 heat race wins, (8) Wilmot (2) Oshkosh, and 7 feature wins, (4) Wilmot (3) Oshkosh. He capped the season off with the track championship at Wilmot. Not too shabby for his rookie season, NASCAR doesn't know what it's missing.

Dartmouth trustee candidates Peter Robinson and Todd Zywicki have criticized the Dartmouth administration for letting the school's traditional commitment to undergraduate education suffer. Their critique lies at the heart of their candidacies and extends to the administration's treatment of speech issues on campus and the decline of the school's athletic program.
The administration has responded in a manner more befitting politicians than academics. Earlier this month the Dartmouth Daily published a powerful statement by junior Alex Tonelli supporting the Robinson/Zywicki critique: "Step two: Electing the petition candidates." Yesterday the Daily published a guest column by alum Joseph Asch that nails the administration's response to the critique: "P.R. excellence." See also Asch's earlier installments — "Dear old Dartmouth?" and "Be specific, please."

Handel Society of Dartmouth College
"Performing with the Handel Society is truly a transcendent experience. I hope the audience feels an emotional connection to the works." Benjamin Weinstock '17
The Handel Society of Dartmouth College is the oldest student, faculty, staff, and community organization in the United States devoted to the performance of choral-orchestral major works. Founded in 1807, the Society sought to advance the works of Baroque masters through performance. Members of the Society believed the grand choruses of George Frideric Handel exemplified their goals and thus adopted his name for their group. Since its inception, the Handel Society has grown considerably in size and in its scope of programming. Today comprising 100 members drawn from the Dartmouth student body, faculty and staff, and the Upper Valley community, the Society gives two performances a year of major works, both old and new, for chorus and instrumental forces.
In addition to giving annual concerts in Spaulding Auditorium, the Society performs regularly at outreach events in the Upper Valley, reaching audiences in schools, community organizations and assisted living centers. The Society tours regularly at home and abroad, performing in major venues and cathedrals throughout Europe. For more information about the Handel Society, please check out our website or find us on Facebook!
