Love the plate! Mine is DRBLUD, because I am a technical writer for an international company, and the guys in the factory complain about the amount of red ink I put on manuscripts, claiming their manuals bleed to death. Thus, they call me Doctor Blood (and probably a few other things less polite!)

Yes, it is against the driving regulations to coast down-hill in "N" along with never exceeding the posted speed limit and always coming to a complete stop for a right-on-red. In this case, I wanted to find out how much the speed would change coasting down this hill and I took precautions to make sure there would be no risk to anyone.. That steep downgrade at Bell Mountain is about 100 ft. over about 1,000 ft and speed builds up rapidly. FYI, functionally use of "N" is the same as holding the clutch in a manual transmission as the mechanical gears never disengage. I live in South Huntsville to the west of Haysland Square and work off Bradford Drive just east of the overpass at Research Blvd. If you see a black, sedan Prius with a license plate "C52MPG" that is me.

It's been a while since I got my license, so I had to look this one up. Page 72 of the driver's license manual indicates that it is illegal to coast downhill in neutral. Again, I suggest that the situation (the Huntsville accident, and by the way, Bob, we must be neighbors, as I am next door in Madison) is still not a Prius problem but a driver issue. I hear they are pretty good cars. Unfortunately, any car can be driven irresponsively or dangerously. I'd like to see more of the investigative issues directed toward bad drivers instead of blaming the vehicles.

Re: Read the NHTSA report . . . statistic are dubious

I fuel my 2003 Prius at the Shell station at Hobbs Road and the Parkway in Huntsville. So on Monday I took the fatal route. I crested the hill at 35 mph and shifted the car into "N". By the time I reached the fatal accident intersection, my Prius was doing 50 mph. If you get a chance, see if you can replicate the experiment, using a shift into "N" upon cresting the hill to see exactly what the gravity assist does.
Understand that I am a fan of "Johnny Cab" and the cars in "The Sleeper." I have met one too many self-appointed car 'enthusiasts' to believe that ordinary street driving isn't a task that could and in many cases, should be automated. For me, automating the driving would give 20 minutes each way in the morning and evening to read my technical journals and find entertainment on my commute. Let the car sensors and software deal with the . . . wonderful examples of professional driving (and pedestrian skills) we meet on the streets every day.
BTW, I use Google News to find articles involving "prius accident" and "prius crash." Whether or not there is any bias in the newspaper reports, I'm only interested in the details. I had looked at all Prius fatal accidents in the FARS between 2001-07 only to be frustrated by the absence of details. For example, a Kansas accident that involved 50 vehicles including a Prius. How did that happen?
My interest in Prius accidents means I am not seeing the Prius-sized sedans but I really don't care about them. This is not a compare and contrast study but a 'heads up' since I am so likely to be driving a Prius every day. There is an element of self-preservation involved.

I have a special interest in this subject and anytime there is lead to any report about the Prius and pedestrians, I am interested, regardless of language. In response to an e-mail request, Charles Murray provided these links:
It has been 40 years since I studied Japanese but when I use Google to help in the translation, the graphs suggests the Japanese are not seeing a 'smoking gun'. However, I am prepared to have the last, PDF article professionally translated just to make sure I have not misunderstood the graphs.

I'll have to stick to my guns on this one. I believe the reports are skewed to lead the reader to an incorrect and emotional conclusion.
In reading the accident reports listed in the report, I see that the 7/7/11 accident that occurred in Huntsville, Alabama involving a Prius indicates there was a fatality. Other information indicates that the driver of the Prius lost control, hit the curb, and went airborne, shearing the top off the Honda. Having lived in the Huntsville area for over 50 years, I can say I know the stretch of road and this is neither a Prius problem nor a roadway issue. Someone was driving irresponsively.
A jaywalker was run over. That happens whether the car is electric or not. It is NOT a Prius problem. It is why jaywalking is not only illegal but just a bad idea.
A man with an unknown medical condition died after crashing into several cars before hitting a light police. Driver problem, not Prius. Also notice that the Prius is the only of the "several other cars" that is identified by name or model. Why is that?
In another example, a boy rode his bicycle out of a driveway without stopping. (Evidently without looking, also.) That's a good way to get run over by a gasoline or diesel vehicle, too. He was not wearing a helmet. This, again, is not a Prius problem. Maybe it is easier to blame the vehicle than to take responsibity for failing to teach your kids the rules of safety for riding bicycles.
Don't take me wrong. I am a kind-hearted fellow who is aware that every life is precious and that we should all do what we can to preserve it, whether it involves technology, invention, or education. But, I think these Prius reports are among the attempts to move people by fear rather than facts. It's like the siren paradox, where the city puts sirens on their firetrucks but then throttles back the soound so they don't make so much noise. Consequently, I generally see t he flashing lights before I hear the siren. To me, it should be the other way around.
For the record, I do not own and never have owned a Prius. Nothing against them, just don't have one. The closest I have come to one is that my girlfriend's sister drives one. One day I'll let her show it off to me.

David, the NHTSA report which is linked to in the article has the data for turning and backing accidents for both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles. As Bob points out, the sample size for hybrid vehicles is so small that much of the analysis is questionable. However, the sample size for non-hybrid vehicles is much larger, and that data is probably quite reliable.
I disagree that this is much ado about nothing. The statistics may be uncertain at this point, but keep in mind that every statistic is an individual who was injured or killed. That's not something to take likely. However, Bob's argument seems to be that other safety improvements, such as automatic lane following, would prevent a greater number of accidents and should be receiving more attention.
We live in a democracy, and that means that public policy priorities are (or ought to be!) determined by the people - with everything that implies. As we all know, people don't always make decisions based on rigorous analysis of data. People are emotional, and one of the strongest emotions is fear. Although we don't have solid data on deaths and injuries, we do know that many blind people have had scary experiences and near-misses with hybrid and electric vehicles.
To a congressman, a few phone calls from scared constituents count far more than any well-reasoned research paper. This law passed unanimously in the U.S. Senate (which rarely agrees on anything these days!) and nearly unanimously in the House of Representatives. Like it or not, that's democracy in action.
As someone once said, democracy is the worst system, except for all of the others.

Of curiosity, does anyone have (or could point me to) the statistics for turning and backing accidents for non-electric vehicles? Like the others, I see much ado about nothing here, like the report some years ago claiming that pickles were bad for you because everyone who had eaten pickles between 1875 and 1899 was dead or in frail health. I think they like to play their favorite cards and ignore the rest of the deck.

The blind suffer about 5 fatalities each year and easily +25 medical treatment injuries. They probably have another 100 or so non-reported, close calls and knock-downs. I am sympathetic to their plight but sound has led them down a technologically dead end.
I don't mind adding a noise maker but have no illusions about how effective it will be. The natural opposition to S.841 won't form until the Congressionally mandated noise makers show up on the streets. We know this because the Leaf in the UK has already been muted when the neighbors complained.
As for the "Automotive Alliance," the Prius and all hybrids are less than 3% of all vehicle sales yet the funders of the "Automotivie Alliance" have been directly or through their agents anti-hybrid . . . until the recent increase in gas prices and a serious CAFE challenge. But they don't mind if the Prius and other hybrids and EVs 'get a black eye' from this legislation. Former Congressman Dave McCurdy led this effort and has left the "Automotive Alliance." Regardless of where he goes, the shame follows.
As for politicians, the Prius has replaced the 'Volvo' that was used in the 2004, anti-Dean commercial. The Prius has become the new symbol of 'the hippy' and there is a great game in DC called,"Whack a Hippy" (thanks to Rachael Maddow.) But there is a bloody, deadly serious problem, a 'blood on the streets' problem of not only pedestrian but also Prius accidents.
I have spent the last year
recording every Prius, fatal accident via Google News
because the FARS database is just numbers. By the time we see the numbers, the details of each accident have faded into forgotten police reports filed away . . . somewhere. What I see is a pattern of accidents including lane departures and failure to stop. Not every accident and certainly not every case but a significant portion. But instead of getting a Toyota option for the Prius, their accident avoidance and lane following option, being made available for any Prius, it remains the highest priced, last option after every other silly eye-candy has been put on the car.
In March of 2009, I had to decide on which Prius we would buy but the accident avoidance and lane following option required paying an extra $8,000 to add that $2,000 option. I would easliy have bought it for my wife's Prius and WOULD DO IT TODAY ... if I didn't have to waste, to burn up $8,000 on Toyota crap options that have nothing to do with safety.
Sorry if I seem bitter but I am of the opinion every D*mn Toyota and NHTSA employee should read the Prius accident reports and every year be asked,"What did you do to prevent this?" <GERRRRRR>
Thanks Dave, it is nice to know there are real people who work on facts and data . . . but we have $41,000 of Prius, two of them, sitting in our driveway and I commute in one daily. This is personal.

Bob, thanks for suggesting that people read the NHTSA report. I read it and agree that the sample size is small. Given the number of hybrid incidents in the study (77 total), breaking down the accidents by maneuver didn't seem particularly meaningful. However, the overall number of pedestrian collisions per hybrid vehicle in the study (0.9%, compared to 0.6% for standard powertrain vehicles) does seem to point to a problem. The rate of bicycle collisions was also higher for hybrids (0.6%, compared to 0.3%).
This is not necessarily inconsistent with your data showing fewer overall deaths per vehicle mile - this study is simply looking at the number of collisions with pedestrians and bicycles per vehicle. Hybrid vehicles may well be safer overall.
One of the weaknesses of the NHTSA report, besides the small sample size, is that their data doesn't take the vision status of the pedestrian into account, so they can't show an increased risk to blind people (as opposed to pedestrians in general). They are upfront about admitting this weakness.
I was disappointed to see that the
National Federation for the Blind
, which was the main force lobbying for the
which prompted this rulemaking, also didn't seem have any quantitative data. Their case seems to be based mainly on the subjective experience of blind people.
Interestingly enough, the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
and the
Association of International Automobile Manufacturers
also lobbied for this legislation. My suspicion is that this was probably to protect themselves from class action suits.
Based on what I've read, this seems to be a problem which requires further study. The risk has not been well characterized, and requiring hybrid and electric vehicles to make more noise may not be the best solution. However, the legislation has already been passed, with broad bipartisan support. The reason why is clear: blind people and their familes feel strongly about this, automakers prefer legislation to lawsuits, and there is no natural constituency for opposition to this legislation. As a result, politicians could win points by supporting this legislation, with no downside.

Smart Machines Make the Grade for Control Applications
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? Thats where the smart machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This discussion will examine whats possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.

Art Deco Grand: Diamond Sapphire Ring
A classic example of an Art Deco engagement ring features a well proportioned old European cut diamond of an estimated .75 carats (I-J color; VS1-VS2) set in an openwork mount of 18k white gold. In typical Art Deco style a pair of synthetic sapphires in a rectangular mille grain accented bezel flanks the center stone with dashes of bold color. Tulip-like motifs grace the gallery of the ring and add additional dots of glitter with four (4) single cut diamonds of an estimated total .04 carats. The period ring is quite feminine in appearance and seems to float upon the hand with graciousness abounding.
Date: Circa 1930.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.9 cm) in width and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.6 grams (1.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-1/4 (UK M; Euro or Int. Circum. 52.5 mm; Int. Dia. 16.7 mm; Japan 12) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: Faint trace of letters BE...
Condition: Excellent; light wear to a few of the high points of the mount.
Note: Stones were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. All weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed. All metals are acid tested.

Adobe announced today that they're stopping development of their mobile Flash player as soon as they release Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry Playbook. Both of which are mobile devices, but don't run the mobile flash player.
Hopefully an OS update isn't required for those devices to get the new version of Flash Player, otherwise the majority of Android users are screwed. The PlayBook is currently running Flash 10.2.
A few hours later RIM posted a trademark-filled statement on their blog:
Earlier today, Adobe announced plans to stop investing in Flash® for mobile browsing, and focus more efforts on HTML5. As an Adobe source code licensee, we will continue to work on and release our own implementations, and are looking forward to including Flash 11.1 for the BlackBerry PlayBook.
The strategic direction announced by Adobe today further validates RIM's decision to launch the BlackBerry PlayBook with a full-powered and uncompromised desktop class browser supporting both Flash and HTML5. We are pleased that Adobe will focus its efforts on next generation Flash-based apps delivered via AIR and BlackBerry AppWorld as well as the great opportunities that HTML5 presents for our developers as we discussed at DevCon Americas.
In essence they're saying:
Adobe just blindsided us with that announcement and even though we pay them an outrageous licensing fee for access to their source code, we don't have a copy of this mythical Flash 11.1 to test on the PlayBook. Luckily we support HTML 5, because we're probably going to be dicked-over by Adobe again in the near future.
I wonder how long until RIM changes direction again and begins to downplay the PlayBook's Flash support?

Every ring by boe makes is a true delight to wear. I was worried about it being made of leather and needing to wash my hands. Then I wore this puppy after Thanksgiving dinner, through the entire clean-up, it held up like a champ! I think the leather is water-proofed in some way that makes it okay to get it wet. I made sure to rinse it off and blot-dry with a towel. GOOD AS NEW :)
This ring is so beautiful and rustic, i love it! The leather is wearing down a little because i do not take it off to wash my hands or sometimes i leave it on in the shower, it makes the ring look more vintage.. i still wear it and it still looks great.
so comfy and cute. I forget that I am wearing it so it is a good thing that it is quality or I might have destroyed it with doing dishes
Really cute on, especially when wearing a more sporty outfit. It can even be worn spun around and have a cute gold and red accent with the knot underneath. Great purchase.
Maybe I'm tough on rings but it fell apart I me after a month of wear. I'd try to remove it each time I'd wash my hands and never wore it in the shower, but it wore through where it connects to the gold bar. Very unfortunate, since it was very pretty.
I thought i would love this ring! I wore it as soon as I received in the mail and within 5 minutes of wearing it, it completely broke. One of the ends fell out of the gold clasp. I tried gluing it back together, but I had no luck. I would not recommend purchasing this ring. Waste of money and is not long lasting at all.
Everyone in the office wants one! Lots of fun and I love the color.
I'd love to know the name of the particular knot used in this ring.
I love this ring! I got tons of complements while I wore it too. However, it is not meant for everyday wear. The red on the leather began to wear off rather quickly. At first it just gave it a more rugged look, but then too much of the color fell off. Because of this, I started wearing it less. Then, recently, I wore it again and it completely broke. One of the ends fell out of the gold clasp. I tried gluing it back together, but I had no luck. I would not recommend purchasing this ring.
The ring is simplistic yet very detailed and eye catching. I love the red color it is bright and cheerful! I want to wear this everyday :) Size small is definitely small, would suggest a medium for anyone with a size 7-8.
I loved this ring and was so happy to get it in the mail but was sad to see that it didn't fit. Most times this size fits me but I guess every brand is different. ;0(

I am a professional mechanic with over twenty yeas experience. Many, if not most of the tools I own are made by Craftsman tools as with the high quality US-made 7/8" chisel pictured. I choose Craftsman tools largely because they are a good value - quality tools at a reasonable price. It's also important that many are still made in the USA. I believe in supporting American industry and workers.

Been very busy these past few days. Haven't had much time to update. A lot has happened since I last made a post in this blog.
We spent 3 days in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. That was quite the experience... lots of stories from that that I'll eventually try to share here too. After spending some time in Santo Domingo, we finally got a UN flight into Haiti.
We are based out of a decently nice place called the "Guest House" in Port-au-Prince right near the airport. However, we spend most of our time out at clinics for 3-day stints where we are camping with cots and no running water. I have been doing lots of wound care, cleaning and dressing highly infected wounds and assisting one of my teammates with pulling teeth... I am learning so much. Being a paramedic, I really only know stuff about emergency medicine. The world of primary care is a whole new thing -- it's been a great experience!
On our first day down here, we took a 2-hour tour of Port-au-Prince... Wow, the destruction is truly incredible: IT IS EVERYWHERE. Hundreds of thousands of people living under sheets stretched over sticks... and rubble as far as the eye can see. I have never seen anything like it.
Someone is waiting to use the computer so I better go. We have the day off on Sunday. So I will probably be able to update then.

Michel Rostang's $122 Sandwich (Yes, Truffles)
It seems whenever there's some kind of exorbitantly expensive food there's an ingredient that almost always makes an appearance: truffles. This sandwich, called LE "SANDWICH" TIEDE A LA TRUFFE FRAÎCHE, and created by French chef Michel Rostang, is no exception. It will appeal to purists mostly as it is amazingly simple: fresh truffles are sliced and placed on toasted country bread with salted butter. The sandwich sits for two nights (so the flavors can marinate together) and then the whole thing is lightly grilled on both sides. That's it. Heck, if you have some spare truffles lying around you can make this at home instead of a grilled cheese or something. Or maybe not. 98 €

This historical documentary tells the story of the infamous Sonewall Uprising -- a police raid launched on a Mafia-run gay bar in Greenwich Village in the early '60s -- not for its ties to the Mafia, but for its ties to the gay community. Saddled with prejudice and oppression at every other turn in conservative society, the gays and lesbians did something unprecedented in response to the raid, by fighting back. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Stonewall Uprising
Filmmakers Kate Davis and David Heilbroner team up to explore the Stonewall riots, an event that served as a sharp turning point for gay rights in the United States. The setting was a Greenwich Village gay bar called the Stonewall Inn; the date was June 28, 1969. It was a time when homosexuality was still seen as a dangerous mental illness, and raids on gay gathering spots were commonplace. When New York City police raided the Mafia-run establishment, they figured the patrons could be herded into paddy wagons without a fight -- they were wrong. Over the course of the next three days, gay protestors clashed with police in an uprising that made headlines across the world. In this film, participants from both sides of the conflict offer firsthand testimony about the social climate of the era and the riots that sparked a revolution. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Since video games arrived on the home entertainment market in the '70s, they've grown in sophistication by leaps and bounds, and with the rise of the internet came games that allowed competitors in different parts of the world to challenge one another. The latest wrinkle in video game technology is the new genre of Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), in which literally millions of people can assume characters and interact in a digital environment though their personal computers and a high-speed internet connection. While games such as World of Warcraft and Everquest have become hugely popular, they've also raised concerns among parents, psychologists and sociologists who wonder about the long-term effects of spending prolonged periods of time in an artificial world, cut off from reality and conventional human interaction. Filmmaker Juan Carlos Pineiro Escoriaza examines the pros and cons of MMORPGs in the documentary Second Skin, which includes interviews with game enthusiasts, designers, psychologists and social critics who discuss why the games have become so popular, what dangers they pose, what benefits they present, and what can happen to those who become addicted to the online experience. Second Skin received its world premiere at the 2008 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Filmmakers Kate Davis, David Heilbroner, and Franco Sacchi aim to clarify the abstruse relationship between Christian Zionists and Jews while encouraging dialogue between dissenting groups with this documentary examining the possibility that a substantial American voting block is attempting to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of international holy war. By speaking with Evangelicals in their homes, at conferences, and even during a tour of the site in Israel where they believe Jesus Christ will return to Earth, the filmmakers intertwine Jewish and Christian Zionist perspectives to explore the unique alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel that could lay the groundwork for the battle of Armageddon. Interviewees include Connecticut evangelicals James and Laura Bagg, McAlester, OK-based Evangelicals Tony and Devonna Edwards, and Salem, OR-based doctor H. Wayne House, each of whom believe we are living in the end times, and that they will all be raptured into the heavens when Christ returns and humanity enters into a violent seven-year period known as "The Tribulation." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three victims of botched cosmetic surgery tell their stories in the one-hour made-for-cable documentary Plastic Disasters. Young professional Tony, the least serious case, finds himself in danger of permanent deformity after a faulty rhinoplasty and several increasingly risky corrective surgeries. The once-beautiful Lucille, meanwhile, finds herself looking far older than late middle age after a series of procedures, including two face-lifts and a nose job, leave her with folds of sagging skin all across her face and neck. Lucille also claims that she's unable to breath or swallow properly, though she is unable to obtain medical confirmation of these symptoms. Both patients' problems pale in comparison to those of Mona, a Florida retiree whose cut-rate liposuction indirectly leads to the loss of both legs during a lengthy near-death illness. Between interviews and footage chronicling its subjects' ongoing medical tribulations, Plastic Disasters provides statistical context and a brief history of cosmetic surgery. Spearheaded by producer/directors Kate Davis and David Heilbroner, the film premiered June 5, 2006, on HBO. Davis previously won an Emmy for Jockey, an earlier HBO project. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Kate Davis' digitally shot documentary chronicles the last year in the life of Robert Eads, a female-to-male transsexual dying of terminal ovarian cancer in the backwoods of rural Georgia. Broken up into seasons, the feature introduces viewers to a community of transsexual persons (many of whom have received poor medical care), including Maxwell, Robert's best friend and sparring partner, and Lola Cola, a male-to-female transsexual who has become Robert's life partner after a lengthy friendship. Often regarded as the patriarch of this small but tight clan, Robert finds that his cancer is accelerating; his loved ones all lend support, including his son, his parents, and his beloved granddaughter. When Robert can no longer care for himself, Lola decides to care for him full-time. The two prepare for the annual Southern Comfort conference, a yearly event created for transgendered individuals, where Robert and Lola have been selected to lead a panel, all while Robert's health is in jeopardy. Robert's final wish is granted when he is able to attend the event, joined by his nearest and dearest friends and Lola, his devoted lover. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

The Delta
In this dreamy, gay-themed indie, the debut from writer/director Ira Sachs, two young Southerners from very different backgrounds come together, move apart and continue on their separate paths -- with surprising results. Inarticulate, handsome Lincoln Bloom (Shayne Gray), son of an affluent Jewish family in Memphis, TN, cruises the gut looking for gay sex but also leads a second existence hanging out with his rowdy high-school friends, including Monica (Rachel Zan Huss), his dainty blond girlfriend. One night, Lincoln enjoys wordless sex with Ming Nguyen (Thang Chan), aka John, the immigrant son of an American G.I. and a Vietnamese woman. Another night, after an encounter with a businessman whose unusual predilections bewilder him, Lincoln meets John a second time in an adult bookstore. The slightly older man matter-of-factly convinces Lincoln to hang out with him; the two grab some beers and set out on the Mississippi in Lincoln's dad's boat. Along the way, John shares his life story and sense of frustration at not belonging in either his homeland or America; Lincoln isn't quite sure how to respond. After an entire day of hanging out together at various port towns along the river, the pair get in trouble with the police, resulting in a violent falling out. Lincoln returns to Memphis in his boat, looks up Monica, and faces his father's wrath. Meanwhile, John makes his way home as best he can, settles back into his routine as a disgruntled, sometimes ostracized layabout, and finally seeks out another sexual encounter -- one with a decidedly unexpected conclusion. Memphis native Sachs cast the semi-autobiographical The Delta with non-actors after trawling the pool halls and watering holes of his hometown for several months. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Three girls who are living very precariously in the Boston area are followed in this documentary. Mars ran away from home when she was thirteen, now makes her living as a stripper in the famous "Combat Zone," and has found a family for herself (of sorts) among the patrons, bartenders and other strippers of the district. Pinky is just fourteen and hates school, skipping it whenever she can. However, she must be fast on her feet to outwit the social workers who want to place her in a (strict) foster home. Martha is about to become a single mother, but of all the girls, she is the only one showing any willingness to take responsibility for herself and her problems. Reviewers complained about the length of this documentary (eighty-four minutes) and, paradoxically, also complained that certain crucial information got left out. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

I had seen this item in the Trina Turk boutique originally and it was love at first sight. I adore the classic shift fit with a sexy twist: side cut-outs and a back window. The fabric is thick and very high quality, print is gorgeous. It is very unusual and upscale all around. I feel like you could wear it to a classy evening event and yet the cut outs make it stand out from anything else someone might be wearing. A true original, it was a thrill to pick up this iconic dress at this price.

Dear Great Minds Not strictly a Beowulf question but I suspect knowledge on the topic lurks herein. I can't seem to find a straight answer on the "real" *minimum* cable length for gigabit ethernet. I'm looking to make things on my new toy nice and tidy. Assume Cat5e/Cat6 cable, Intel e1000 NICs pushing the data rate to 'maximum', jumbo packets, cut through switching, titanium alloy mounting bracket screws etc. Minimum physical target length of 200mm. >From my limited understanding of such things, surely there would be some sort of electrical issue with too short a cable corrupting signalling/bits etc? The Net seems to vary between selling you a 0.5m cable v's "never use less than 1.0m" v's "there's no practical limit to how short". Thoughts and comments appreciated. Worse case I'll prolly try a 1m v's a 0.25m and check error rates :) Cheers Stevo

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia's poultry, aircraft and auto industries helped propel the state's exports to a record $35.8 billion last year.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Georgia ranked 12th nationally in the dollar value of exports by state.
In the southeast, only Florida outpaced Georgia in the shipment of goods overseas.
The figures were reported Monday by the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
Canada, China, Mexico, Singapore and Japan were Georgia's top export destinations in 2012, tallying 42 percent of all products shipped overseas.
Cars, airplanes -- and their associated parts -- and industrial machines have become big business for the state historically renowned for poultry and wood pulp exports.

A friend of mine approached me yesterday and asked about my Eclipse Candles. She said that she was interested in having some smell-goods for her home they are trying to sell. She wanted to ensure that her place, didn't smell like 2 big dogs and three little kids and that would greet them unkindly when they opened the door. She thought candles would be good but they are asked to be outside of their home so that was a no-go. The she said she thought of me =)
She called this morning to tell me that she wanted 2 full sized warmers and 2 food scents. She needed them as soon as possible and so I told her what I had in stock that fit her need.
She then chose:
Leanna Warmer
Paloma Warmer
Cookies for Santa Memory Melt
Spice Delight Memory Melt
Lemon Pound Cake Memory Melt
Surely, her potential buyers will have a sweet tooth after exiting, if they don't have one already! Cookies, pie, and cake – oh my!

By now, every Washington capitals fan knows that Bruce Boudreau was fired yesterday and replaced by former Capitals great and former team Captain, Dale Hunter.
According to a pole currently being conducted on line by the Washington Post, 51 percent of 4000 participants believe Bruce Boudreau had to go, and Dale Hunter is a good replacement. Whether you agree or disagree with the move, one thing is for sure, there is certainly plenty of blame to go around, but that blame is confined to a few players and Boudreau himself.
Boudreau's firing may not be the right move, but at the moment, it is the move General Manager George McPhee (GMGM) had to make. McPhee wasn't going to dismantle the upper echelon of this roster just yet, at least not without a second opinion first. Who better to give that opinion than the man former Caps Captain Rod Langway says will," ruffle some guys' feathers."
When asked during an interview yesterday about what Dale Hunter will bring to the Caps bench, the only man that wore the "C" longer than Hunter said of his former teammate, "As a player, he won your respect by the way he worked so hard, and if you didn't give it to him, he'd challenge you," said Langway. "I'd think he's the same way as a coach. Honest, straightforward – that's the type of guy he is. And he's probably going to ruffle some guys' feathers."
Read on to see what went wrong between Boudreau, and Alex Ovechkin, and why Boudreau ultimately failed behind the bench in Washington.
