text: Deep Space Products is proud to be the exclusive telescope mount dealer for the T-REX Apex Alt-Azimuth telescope mount North America. The T-Rex Alt-Azimuth telescope mount is the perfect visual astronomy observing platform for refractors, reflectors, and SCTs. The T-REX telescope mount has its basic design rooted in the more simple T-mount designs that are popular as grab-and-go mounts for smaller OTAs, primarily refractors. However, the T-REX offers a much higher level of functionality as a smart, strong, precise and well-made telescope mount that easily supports many types of OTAs, including refractors, reflectors and SCTs While the basic T-REX Alt-Azimuth telescope mount is ready to use out of the box, because of the built-in encoders, you can order it with or easily add on digital setting circles ("DSC") to give you the ability to select from thousands of items to which the T-REX can precisely point. Slow motion controls on each axis allow you to pan the telescope's field of view with precision and control, without shaking the telescope. For longer sweeps of the sky, a quick release of the clutch handle on each axis lets you move the telescope freely by hand to any point in the sky, while the DSC is keeping track of where the telescope is pointing.

Mark 95AA Series - Air Augmented Back Pressure Regulator
The Mark 95AA sanitary air augmented back pressure regulator with the same line sizes, CV choices, seats, low build up characteristics, and stability of the standard bolted bonnet Mark 95, but with an advantage. By connecting an air pressure signal to the 1/4" FNPT dome fitting via an air regulator or I/P, the set point can be changed remotely by "sending an air signal instead of a technician". The Mark 95AA gives users the ability to change pressure set points. Adjustments can be made with air pressure instead of, or in conjunction with, manual adjustment of the spring force to any point in excess of the springs minimum set point (2 psi on a 3/4" – 1" Mark 95, 3 psi on a 1-1/2", and 5 psi on a 2"). Users adjust the regulator's spring to the lowest set point or to the lowest set pressure that the regulator will normally operate at, and use air pressure to charge the set point. To lower the set point to it's previous value, the pressure is reduced in the same manner.
• Lifetime diaphragm warranty
• All stem guiding above the diaphragm (wet process) to eliminate particulate generation• Automate existing manual installations. MK 95AA upgrade kits available for Mark 95 regulators
• Maximizes the functional operating range by minimizing droop This is especially useful on high turndown SIP steam delivery applications
• Reduce project CapEx. Used with an I/P, the MK95AA reduces the time required for pressure balancing, commissioning and validation of WFI loops by putting the regulator's set point adjustment in the hands of the Control Room Technician
• Remote operation makes the MK95AA ideal for hard to reach hot WFI and USP PW applications in clean utility rooms.
• Complete range of products for any size or Cv requirement. The available sizes and Cv's are the same as the current Mark 95 product range
• With preset spring, users maintain control in the event of power (air failure)

The Great American Road Trip
Destination: West Virginia
Movie: October Sky (1999)
There is no question in my mind that West Virginia would like to be known for more than coal mining, and yet the industry so defined the state, that a movie set in a coal mining town seems a perfect introduction to a West Virginia stop on the Great American Road Trip. However, this movie shows that besides coal, some great people came out of West Virginia.
Be sure to click on over to Music Road for some coal mining music to play while you drive through West Virginia.
"Sometimes one dream is enough to light up the whole sky."
I recently re-watched the ten-year-old October Sky, starring the adorable Jake Gylenhaal as Homer, the Rocket Boy. The movie affected me as strongly the second time around as it did the first, but this time I paid more attention to the background.
Armed with some research, I now know that the movie was actually filmed in and around Coalwood, West Virginia, a company town until the mine was closed some ten years after this story takes place. Despite the gritty reality of coal mining, some of the surrounding wooded hills and streams will lure travelers looking for some backwoods peace and quiet. And the 1950′s atmosphere is recreated nicely, particularly helped along by a terrific sound track of music right off the Hit Parade.
In brief, the Soviet Union's 1952 launch of the first rocket to become an earth satellite inspires a group of high school boys, led by Homer Hickam, to experiment with rocketry. For Homer, the event that sets him on fire, also ignites a feud with his father, manager of the mine. One teacher believes in him, and the book and the movie form an education message that continues to be used in classrooms.
While the movie (I have not read the book, written by the real Homer Hickam) simmers in all sorts of delicious twists and turns, some pretty melodramatic, everything is based on fact. (Here's a site that sorts out the real from the reel drama.) The most heart-warming scenes of the entire movie, for me, come at the end when pictures of the real-life rocket boys flash on the screen and we see how their "little hobby" led to solid careers, not one of which involves going underground in a coal mine.
You might want to take your Road Trip to West Virginia in October, not only to see the beautiful colored leaves on the hillsides, but also to attend the October Skys Festival in and around Coalwood.
My research also revealed an interesting fact about the movie title. Of course, the obvious reason for October Sky, is that the Soviet Union fired off the first rocket to orbit the earth in October, 1952. But in addition, there's a bit of word play going on with the title of the book that spawned the movie, Rocket Boys. Your assignment for today is to figure that out and report in the comment section what you discover.
Other questions about West Virginia? It is bordered on the northwest by the ___River. It used to be part of what other state? It was the birthplace of several famous people including a Civil War General. The major industry is___.
You can find a whole bunch of other movie sites to visit in West Virginia when you take your own movie road trip to that state at this site researched by an academic.

After reading all this- I must rent this movie.
West Virginia is a beautiful place. especially in the fall!
Living in Vero Beach with my aviator husband and space-crazy son, we love the space program. The shuttle launches north of us, and we can see it streak across the sky. Got another one coming up Friday!
We also loved October Sky and got the book. I can't remember if I read it, but even if I did, I probably should read it again due to my lack of memory of it. Wonderful story.
.-= Laura Hartness hopes you will read blog ..Contest Results & Latest Movie Review =-. -
October Sky is a favorite movie. Having lived in Roanoke, VA for 16 years, I'm familiar with the eastern edge of West Virginia. Bluefield, Princeton, the luxury of the Greenbriar Hotel, Cheat Mountain Lodge on the back side of Snowshoe, I remember them well. Yes, WVA has a coal mining history but don't let it over-shadow the beautiful geography that surrounds it.

Caught October Sky in the theater. It was very moving. You did not mention the supportive science teacher science teacher, Miss Riley, (who is later diagnosed with Hodgkins). Teachers can be a spark that lights the fire. -r
A great time to visit the real Coalwood WV from the movie/book OCTOBER SKY is during the annual October Sky Festival. This year's festival date is Saturday October 2nd. You can meet the real Homer Hickam and other Rocketboys, and NASA astronauts and cast members from the movie often make appearances. You can shoot off rockets from Cape Coalwood, tour the town made famous in the movie and more. It's great fun! Visit http://homerhickam.com/coalwood to find out more.
There's a festival for it?!? That is so cool! Thanks for the link.
I'll let other commentors have the fun of posting the answers to your questions. West Virginia is more than worth a visit, be that real or virtual.
Alexandra, Cold Mountain is set in North Carolina.

Loved October Sky. I'm heading down that way this month to do some genealogy research and reading Denise Giardina to get a feel for my recent ancestors' lives.
I will have to come back and find out the answers to your questions. Here's another: where was Cold Mountain set? I know they filmed in Romania. Somehow I attach West Virginia to the book in my mind.

So What do Wine and Paracord Have In Common?
They both make great holiday gifts!
Mom of Many Hats Radio had the pleasure of having two fantastic companies share their products on Friday's show. Saucy Spirits, a wine jelly company, and 550 Survival Gear, a paracord accessory company, shared their products and their company stories with our listeners.
A Saucy and Fun Gift!
Saucy Spirits was born out of 11 year old Ryan's interest in creative cooking recipes. In the summer of 2010, his interest became a business when he began to experiment with making wine jelly. With the help of Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects, Ryan- The creative Jelly Man, and his mom Tiffany- administrator of the business, were able to fund SaucySpirits and expand their ability to market and distribute the product.
Ryan is very inquisitive and researched the ingredients – the wines, herbs, and spices, that he would use in his jelly recipes. He learned about and tried flavor pairings. He also researched foods in general. He has used his knowledge, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit to develop a delicious line of organic wine jellies that are fantastic as jellies, but also versatile and delicious in many other recipes and uses. Additional uses are listed on the sides of the jars as well as on the SuacySpirits site.
Ryan shared that he has learned a lot about business in since starting Saucy Spirits. He has learned about entrepreneurship as well as the time and commitment it takes to run a successful business. When I asked him about it being a lot of work, he said "It depends how you look at it. Other people might think of it as a lot of work, but I like doing it so it doesn't seem like hard work since I enjoy it." He also wants to let kids everywhere know that any kid can do what he has done and that you don't have to be an adult to be an entrepreneur. Proud mom Tiffany, shared that she was always taught to be creative and have an entrepreneurial spirit. She wanted to pass that along to her son and have him see that you can start a business without having to borrow and start out in debt. Through some great mom guidance and KickStarter, Saucy Spirits is a funded start-up
To learn more about the flavors, recipes, and to order Saucy Spirits Wine Jelly, you can visit www.saucyspirits.com. follow on twitter @saucyspirits, as well as Facebook.com/saucyspirits. Saucy Spirits can also be reached via phone at 678.373.5062, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A Gift That Can Bind, in a Bind!
550 Survival Gear also joined us to share a unique and multi purpose product for anyone on your gift list. Ted and Valerie Venable began 550 Survival Gear, a paracord accessory company after seeing similar products at outdoor recreational shows. They were not impressed with the price,quality of the product or materials. Using their creativity and knowledge of active out door lifestyles, they created a line of affordable high quality paracord survival bracelets, key chains, dog leashes and dog collars that are both fashionable as an accessory, but also functional in a time of need.
All of the accessories that 550 Survival Gear offers are customizable to meet your needs. Colors, styles, add-ons (such as dog tags, ids, or watch faces), and clasps can be chosen by you, the consumer. Each one is hand made using 7ft to approximately 14ft of 550 lb parachute chord – the same type used by the military. The cord is made of seven strands of nylon chord wrapped in a 1/4″ nylon sleeve. It is soft, comfortable and strong. Yet, it a time of need, it can be unraveled to become a valuable survival tool.
These accessories make an affordable and great fashion statement as well as a great survival tool in the wilds of the great outdoors or the wilds of suburbia!
To find and purchase 550 Survival Gear paracord accessories, you can visit the 550 Survival Gear Etsy Shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/550survivalgear or email them directly at email@example.com. For those in the Phoenix, AZ area, they will be at the Desert Ridge Farmer's Market at City North on December 18, 2011 with stock available for purchase.

The trial of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak resumed Wednesday with the 83-year-old wheeled in on a hospital gurney. Ayman Mohyeldin joins MSNBC live from Cairo, Egypt.
By Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC News
CAIRO -- The trial of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, his two sons, the former minister of interior and six senior security officials resumed in a Cairo court on Wednesday after nearly a three-month recess.
Egyptian TV showed 83-year-old Mubarak, covered by a green blanket and lying on a hospital gurney as he was brought from a helicopter and taken to an ambulance for the short ride to the courthouse.
The men are all facing murder charges for ordering security forces to kill demonstrators while trying to suppress an 18-day popular uprising against the 30-year rule of Mubarak that began on Jan 25, 2011.
The trial was in recess for close to three months because a separate petition had been filed to replace the presiding judge. That petition was not granted and the same judge will continue to preside over the trial.
On Wednesday, defense attorneys asked the judge to call senior members of the intelligence services and other branches of Egypt's Armed Forces who were serving during the revolution and since then to testify.
The defense is arguing the security forces were acting within the law to contain the uprising but were never given specific orders to "kill" demonstrators.
Nile TV via AFP - Getty Images
A still image taken from Egypt's Nile TV shows Hosni Mubarak being wheeled on a hospital stretcher into court for the resumption of his trial on Wednesday.
So far, the most critical testimony of the trial has come from Field Marshall Mohammed Hussien Tantawi, the Commander of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the ruling military council. His testimony has been sealed for security reasons. The defense has also requested the judge hear the testimony of SCAF second-in-command Field Marshall Sami Annan, Chief-of-Staff of the Armed Forces.
The defense believes the two men and other senior officials will testify that they were never given orders by the former president to kill protestors.
The trial has been adjourned until Monday, Jan. 2.
Journalist are allowed to attend the trial under very strict rules as to what they can publish. Egyptian State TV, which was originally allowed to broadcast the trial, has since been barred from broadcasting the trial live.
Revolutionary groups have had a long-standing demand that Mubarak and his aides stand trial for the killing of protestors. The delay in the start of trial and it's lack of transparency has led many to criticize the SCAF that it was never serious about bringing the former president to justice.

In the garden
Growing a fall vegetable garden
Harvesting vegetables out of your own garden is very satisfying. Vegetables you grow yourself just seem to taste better, and it's particularly nice to know they also help reduce the grocery bill. You can continue to enjoy home-grown vegetables until first frost or, in some cases, until several weeks after the first freeze if you begin putting a fall vegetable garden in now. In Central Virginia, the first frost usually occurs around Oct. 15, so early August is the right time to begin planning and planting. "We'll start our seeds during the next couple of weeks," says Henrico Master Gardener Robin Bryant, who's planning a fall garden with residents at the home where she works as a counselor. "It will be time to take out our squash, and that frees up a big space for planting." Last year Bryant raised fall crops of lettuce, beets, collards, turnips and kale in her garden. "Some crops will even overwinter here," she says. "Last year, I thought the kale was dead and started to pull it out, but my boyfriend suggested we leave it in, and it came back in the spring." Many vegetables can be grown in the fall, and the flavor of some, such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, and Brussels sprouts may actually be improved after a frost. If they're mulched, kale, spinach, onions, lettuce, parsley, parsnips, carrots and salsify can be enjoyed throughout the winter. Before planting fall crops, you may need to restore nutrients removed by spring and summer crops by adding compost or a light application of a complete chemical fertilizer to your soil. Seeds need to be planted in moist soil so plant after a rain or water thoroughly the day before. The Virginia Extension Service recommends sprouting seeds indoors before planting for a fall garden. Sprouted seeds can be planted deeper than normal which helps prevent them from drying out. Bryant hasn't tried sprouting her seeds before planting, but she agrees that attentive watering is a must, especially after seedlings begin to appear. "You have to keep watering," says Bryant. "Water, water, water, every day, sometimes even twice a day, or the little seedlings are not going to make it." Insects may not pose the same problems in fall vegetables because their peak activity is usually in mid-summer, but you'll still need to check the plants periodically. Rotating crops so that those in the same family are not put back into the same space in the garden can also help prevent disease and pest problems. "When I was a child gardening with my father, we only had a summer garden," says Bryant. "But when I became a master gardener, I learned about fall gardens and started planting them." "We really enjoy our gardens," she adds. Fall gardens help optimize production from your gardening space, and they can be an opportunity to try again if something you planted in the spring didn't grow. As Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson says, "Gardening is always a lovely learning experience." |

Low Price Guarantee
Please measure the circumference of your chest in inches using a cloth tape measure and choose the size from the chart below. Also choose next size up if you will be wearing multiple layers under the jacket.
Size Chart
Comment: Everywhere I go with my five year old daughter, people always make a comment about how cool her jacket is. We live in the NYC area so this jacket fits right into that "hip" culture. I chose the brown because it looks so timeless and expensive. No one else will have this jacket around you guaranteed so it really stands out. She wears the size 7/8 L. Follow the size chart and fits perfect and true to size. My daughter could have fit a 5/6 because she is slim but she has long arms.

Comment: Great Jacket! To be honest I didn't exect it to be as good as it is. It looks like I'll have to buy a few more for my other grandbabies.
Comment: Medium was perfect fit for my 6yr old daughter who is on the taller end of normal range, probably could go Large. Quality is OK for dress but minimal as actual riding gear. OTOH she loves the jacket and I'm glad to have something more appropriate for taking her out on rides, no way the hello kitty jacket she was wearing would offer any protection at all. She says she was warm in it w/ weather in the mid 30'sF this morning- so the liner is pretty good for walking around in at least.
Comment: I bought this jacket as a Christmas present for my daughter. She asked for a leather jacket and I didn't want to buy her something cheap looking. I did an internet search for a kid's leather jacket and this is the best looking and most reasonably priced one I found. This jacket is excellent quality and looks great. She loves it. Fast shipping, too. I highly recommend it.
Comment: i love the coat its great but it did not come with the gold zipper straps which chsnges the look but still i give it 4 stars took 1 foe the straps
New York
Comment: I love this jacket and so does my son. He wears it everyday everywhere!! It runs a little small if you have long arms. He's getting a new one for Christmas and the old one is going to my nephew in great shape. Buy it

CSL Behring is a biotherapy company committed to saving lives and improving the lives of people with rare and serious diseases worldwide. At CSL Behring, we occasionally invite thought leaders to participate in discussions or dialogues about important and emerging issues affecting people with the rare and serious conditions treated with CSL Behring biotherapies. These dialogues offer an exchange of information about the medical, social and political facets of biotherapies.
At CSL Behring, we are asking many of the same questions you are asking -- questions such as: Why does it often take several years or more to obtain an accurate diagnosis of a rare disease? At what point should an individual's symptoms automatically prompt a physician to order diagnostic tests? Discussions about these questions and other pertinent concerns are featured throughout these dialogues. We thank you for your interest and look forward to receiving your feedback about our series.
Albumin in Clinical Fluid Management
Physicians from Europe and the U.S. engage in a frank and provocative discussion about the pros and cons of using albumin to treat liver disease and sepsis, and in cardiac surgery. The thought leaders, mainly comprised of hepatologists and intensivists, also discuss the perception of albumin, its safety and efficacy, the economics of using albumin versus crystalloids, and a host of related issues.
Access to Care
Patient advocacy, medical and insurance industry thought leaders engaged in a provocative discussion about practices that impede access to health care for Americans with rare and serious medical disorders, and possible solutions. This discussion is particularly relevant now as healthcare reform is being implemented to assure people with rare diseases do not end up with reduced care as an unintended consequence.
Rare Diseases
Leaders in the rare diseases community gathered in Paris and Bethesda, Maryland to examine some of the critical issues facing people with rare diseases. Improving diagnosis, facilitating research and development of rare disease therapies and improving access to those therapies were among the main topics discussed.
Key opinion leaders in the primary immune deficiency and neurology communities gathered in New York City and London to explore key issues facing patients and to propose solutions for continuing to improve the future for people with rare immune deficiency conditions.
Leaders of European hemophilia societies recently joined representatives of CSL Behring in Marburg, Germany for a discussion of the state of hemophilia care.

HAE in the US
CSL Behring's Key Issues Dialogue on Hereditary Angioedema brought together physician-researchers and patient advocates to discuss and examine a wide range of issues regarding the disease.
Key issues discussed include:
Quality and Safety
This dialogue explains the many quality and safety processes and procedures employed by CSL Behring to ensure the production of safe and effective biotherapies. We take the health of the people who use our lifesaving biotherapies very seriously. We meet or exceed the most stringent international standards for plasma product safety in accordance with regulatory agencies worldwide. Our dedication to collecting safe plasma and producing the highest quality products is well known in the plasma-protein therapies industry and throughout the patient communities we serve.
We believe our products have never been safer than they are today due to substantial investments in product safety, manufacturing facility enhancements, and research and development activities. In fact, during the past 25 years, the risk of virus transmission through plasma-derived products has been nearly eliminated.
To demonstrate all the measures we employ to ensure safety, we invited members of the bleeding disorders community to tour one of our three manufacturing facilities and one of our 73 plasma collection centers. After the tours, CSL Behring virologists, hematologists and plasma collection and manufacturing experts were on site to explain the company's quality and safety paradigm and answer questions from patient representatives.
von Willebrand Disease
Broad topics about VWD include the difficulty in making a diagnosis, the need to accumulate clinical data to track trends and the role of advocacy organizations in public and community education. Participants also discussed the National Hemophilia Foundation's (NHF) support of people with VWD in addition to their primary focus on hemophilia. The progress made in NHF's public awareness campaign, " Project Red Flag," is also discussed.
HAE in Europe
Among the worldwide HAE topics discussed are: early diagnosis, reimbursement issues, the possibility of an EU-wide patient registry, centers of expertise and referral networks, and treatment guidelines.
Standards of Care Legislation
Among the topics discussed are: when is a platelet count considered normal; the need to exclude other diagnoses, including leukemia, during medical evaluation for ITP; the possibility of an environmental trigger for ITP; treatment options and quality of life expectations for people with ITP. General topics include: the difficulty of developing an accurate count of people with ITP; private and government insurance reimbursement; public awareness and education and the overall need for better understanding of autoimmune disorders.

Really, the ten quarts of strawberries that have taken over my kitchen are all my dad's fault.
If he didn't plant a garden when my sisters and I were growing up, if he didn't take us strawberry/cherry/apple picking at the U-pick orchards and fields around our town, if he didn't spend nearly every week in summer making a fruit pie or shortcake of some kind, if he didn't teach me how much better tomatoes and corn and strawberries taste when they're fresh and warm from the sun, I wouldn't be in this predicament.
My dad will shake his head (I can tell, even over the phone) and laugh at me when I tell him about the stash I brought home, but I think behind that he understands. He grew up on a farm (ask him about tractors and combines some time), he lived the whole "farm to table" "snout to tail" thing about 50 years before it was trendy. For my dad, that was just…how it was.
He gave me a taste of that life growing up with our garden. Each year, he would till a 30'x15' plot (my dad just corrected me–it was at least twice that size, enough space for 3 rows each of 3 to 4 varieties of corn) behind our house before walking along the rows with my sisters and me, helping us plant corn, squash, tomatoes, beans, just about anything you can think of.
I want to say we would eagerly watch and wait for the little green sprouts to peek through the dirt, tending and caring for them, but I don't think it ever occurred to us that this was something special. My sisters and I didn't know that most people didn't run out back for broccoli or spend Sunday picking dozens of ears of corn off their stalks. We thought it was fun to watch our dad simmer and slice "caterpillars" off the corn or mash tomatoes through the food mill, and being a good helper by funneling it all into bags for the freezer and dinner in December.
At the beginning of this year, less than two weeks after his 65th birthday (and only a few days after my 30th) my dad ended up in the hospital from a heart attack. Knowing that my dad came that close to not being around, that I came that close to not hearing his amused, incredulous "Christina!" when I tell him how many strawberries I bought or calling him to ask what a misfire in cylinder 4 on my car means was the most terrifying moment in my life, to be sure, and I have no doubt that it was a less than a treat for him. Want to really appreciate your dad? That'll do it.
Dad, we have a 5K to walk in a few weeks (the only time I'll be able to keep up with you), and you need to be around to say "I told you so" on that far-off day that I have kids who gripe that they like chicken nuggets better than my homemade whatever. I guess, given all the complaints a kid could have about their dad, the fact that I'm pretty much unable to buy tomatoes or strawberries or corn off-season and that I appreciate the finer points of a perfect strawberry shortcake means you did something right.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you and I'm really glad you're around.

Editor's Notebook: A Success and a Failure?
A success and a failure? As we begin to walk away from the summer what has been gained
and what has been lost in the ongoing struggle to expand the reach and success of animation? There have been several victories, and several defeats. As Martin Goodman points out in his article "Summer's
Sleepers and Keepers" this summer has seen the strong introduction of different styles and genres of animation something we have long been hoping would happen. Despite mixed reviews and audience reaction, Dinosaur took CGI to another level with its maddeningly complex number of composites and digital creations. Chicken Run
brought stop-motion to the forefront, as it became the highest grossing stop-motion film of all time. The charming tale of Ginger's quest for freedom worked perfectly with the animation style, and Aardman Animations' craftsmanship surely showed that stop-motion is an attractive
and fetching technique when in the hands of masters. Furthermore, there is no doubt that effects are now as integral to most films as film stock and cameras. A Perfect Storm featured two of today's biggest stars, George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, battling the realistic looking digital foe, water. Another huge success for us has to be the excellent adaptation of The X-Men that Brian
Singer and 20th Century Fox brought to the screen. As numerous other comic books are lined up to hit the silver screen, we hope they follow X-Men's excellent lead. As Rick DeMott points out in his article, "Super Mutants Everyone Can Relate To: The X-Men," the producers successfully walked the fine line between fan approval and wide audience exclusion a true hurdle. This film's success has already bumped up production on several other effects heavy comic adaptations. Unfortunately, however, the summer wasn't all wine and roses. Titan A.E. came and went, as did The Road to El Dorado. With Titan A.E.'s passing so did Fox Feature Animation in Phoenix, a facility opened with much hope and fanfare in 1996. Despite Roger Ebert calling Titan, "the Star Wars of animation" with three-and-a-half stars out of four, and a respectable opening at 5th in the competitive summer U.S. box office, the film was quickly dropped from theaters, with little additional promotion or advertising from Fox. As Don Bluth points out in Larry Lauria's "A Conversation With The New Don Bluth," Fox has switched its focus to New York-based CGI studio, Blue Sky, a dynamic leader in the field. While DreamWorks remains committed to animation and its state-of-the-art Burbank animation complex, there is an uneasiness that perhaps they too will decide to utilize outside animation studios (Aardman) and PDI, in which they have made recent heavy investments. With El Dorado's
less than promising outing...the industry waits with crossed fingers that the new animation giant one of the last remaining true players in the group that rushed to the animation table in the mid-nineties -- sticks to their promise. The saddest aspect of both Titan A.E. and El Dorado's fate is...they were not bad films. I thoroughly enjoyed the lively, seemingly spontaneous banter of El Dorado's Miguel and Tulio. Altivo (joining Fox's Bartok) is a new favorite when it comes to sidekick characters. Some of his reaction shots were hysterical. We come back to my old rant...in fact it is beginning to sound like a mantra...that not only do we need incredibly talented storytellers creating these animated features with singular, strong creative visions, but we also need studio backing that understands the nuances of animation. I am not blaming the woes of every animation feature on studio executives, but animation is not live-action, and those that truly get a handle on its marketing will be the ones to win if, and only if, they have the great story and film to back it up. We have already seen this with Warner Bros.' missed opportunity in The Iron Giant.

Rome, Italy, 14 November 2007 - Today at the 20th World Energy Congress, Geir H. Haarde, Prime Minister of Iceland, received the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy (IPHE). The award was presented to Prime Minister Haarde in recognition of his lifetime of leadership and contributions toward fulfilling the objectives of the IPHE.
During the time of Geir H. Haarde's participation in government, Iceland's renewable energy portfolio has evolved to encompass approximately 72% of the total energy consumption, the highest of any country in the world. Haarde is spearheading Iceland's efforts to convert its transport and fishing fleet to hydrogen, which would make the country 100% renewable.
When Iceland launched its program for a hydrogen economy in 1998, Mr. Haarde was the Finance Minister. Under his leadership, the government supported the development of an innovative public-private company, Icelandic New Energy LTD., owned by a consortium of Iceland's domestic energy companies, a number of institutions led by the University of Iceland, and three internationally renowned companies: Daimler, Norsk Hydro and Shell Hydrogen.
Among its many responsibilities, Icelandic New Energy developed and operated the ECTOS project (Ecological City TranspOrt System), with support from the European Commission. This ground-breaking demonstration project proved for the first time the technical feasibility of operating hydrogen and fuel cell buses in regular commercial service.
Also recognized by the IPHE are:
IPHE Excellence in Leadership Award - Jing Xu, Deputy Director, Department of High Tech and Industrialization, Ministry of Science and Technology, China
IPHE Technical Achievement Award - British Columbia Hydrogen Highwaytm

Located in the FirstEnergy Powerhouse, the Greater Cleveland Aquarium houses 10 different galleries and 35 tanks with fresh- and saltwater creatures ranging from local trout to sand tiger sharks and piranhas. Regional exhibits demonstrate the native life of Ohio's lakes and rivers with catfish and bass, exotic freshwater landscapes with an interactive African tortoise exhibit, and coastal waterways with octopus and jellyfish.
In the Coastal gallery, visitors can engage another sense at the 11,000-gallon touch pool, where crustaceans and three species of stingrays line up for a kick line at the first sight of an audience. In the main Shark gallery, visitors can immerse themselves in the aquatic environment as they gaze through the transparent ceiling and walls of the 150-foot underwater SeaTube as stingrays, colorful fish, and more than 4 species of sharks swim overhead.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will celebrate women sound sculptors during this year's benefit with performances by iconic female inductees, including Wanda Jackson, Mavis Staples, and Darlene Love. Cyndi Lauper completes the all-star lineup of female vocalists, all of whom are featured in the Women Who Rock exhibit, which spotlights more than 70 women who rocked history on two artifact-packed floors. Proceeds gleaned during the event will benefit the Rock Hall's educational activities, which enrich audiences of more than 50,000 students each year, from bouncing toddlers to sponge-brained adults. Additional performances from Tears for Fears member Curt Smith and crooner Chuck Jackson will also beat rock rhythms onto eardrums during the evening.
An accredited world-conservation zoo, Akron Zoo houses more than 700 animals across 50 acres of exhibits. Visitors can gaze upon african lions, chilean flamingos, and other creatures from across the globe or shake hands with local flora in a garden dedicated to native Ohio plants. The zoo also participates in breeding programs for endangered species, such as jaguars, lemurs, snow leopards, and humboldt penguins, all of which welcome visitors to their zoo homes, as long as you wipe your feet first. Guests who choose the second option can stop and snack on a pepperoni or cheese pizza for added fuel to explore exhibits.
MAPS Air Museum's historical exhibits and collection of military aircraft educate visitors on military aviation history and Northwest Ohio's role in it. Restored aircraft such as the F-86 SabreDog and B-26 Marauder (one of only seven on display in the world) give guests an up-close look at actual mechanical birds, rather than having to imagine real birds being piloted by humans. Permanent displays on Pearl Harbor, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Rosie the Riveter delve into iconic moments of World War II, and artifacts and memorabilia from veteran Reamer E. "Buzz" Sewell trace one soldier's journey. For more information on tours or special events, visit the museum online.

Buffalo has only a few issues to fix. One of which is the Quarterback position and the other major obstacle that needs to be addressed is our offensive line. Besides these areas maybe one or two linebackers. The Buffalo Bills have what it takes to be a playoff team they just need the coaching staff which I believe we have in place now with Chan Gailey and his soon to be crew. I wonder why we didnt try to have Roscoe Parrish at Quarterback, while Fred Jackson being in the backfield for the wildcat. The Buffalo Bills have the weapons to be an explosive offense. I am going to list our playmakers on Offense, Defense and Special Teams. Starting with the offense: Fred Jackson, Lee Evans, Josh Reed, T.O., Marshawn Lynch, Steve Johnson, Shawn Nelson (offensive line unstable except for Geoff Hangartner); on Defense: Marcus Stroud, Aaron Schobel, Ryan Denney, Kyle Williams, Spencer Johnson, Paul Poslusny, Jairus Byrd, Terrence McGee, George Wilson; Special Teams: Brian Moorman, Rian Lindell, Ashlee Palmer, John Wendling. I believe in the Buffalo Bills and with a reliable quarterback and a better conditioned offensive line we have a chance. Let's Go Buffalo! I would like to see more of Fred Jackson who I admire most as a Buffalo Bill!

This Week @ ERP |
A Note to Racers and Fans...We realize that the announcements that came out last Thursday caught everyone by surprise. Some people have been very upset by the change to IHRA and we fully understand some of the concerns. Many of these concerns will be addressed this week as we get answers to these questions. Details will be posted on our website and Facebook site about memberships, licenses, certifications, ET Finals, special events available to us, etc. I have spent a lot of time on the IHRA website researching programs available and the rule book and I like what I see and I think our racers will as well. I really like what I see for the Jrs as they can go to the ET Finals and our Jr track champion can compete for a national championship! As far as weekly programs we see very few changes only name changes for our bracket classes. Scott remains on as a partner and will still have some time to spend on ERP business. From what I see many rules are more relaxed than with NHRA (Chassis certs start at 6.00 sec. and faster as an example) IHRA has a reputation of being a very racer friendly organization and that will only get better with Scott in charge. Feel free to contact me with any question, email is best but will take phone calls if I can answer them as I will be working a part time job this week. Thanks Gerald Kramer (firstname.lastname@example.com) (641-780-3534) SCOTT GARDNER NAMED PRESIDENT OF INTERNATIONAL HOT ROD ASSOCIATIONIRG Sports + Entertainment to acquire Cordova Dragway Park, Host of the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series in 2014JUPITER, FL – November 14, 2013 – IRG Sports + Entertainment™ (IRG), parent company of the International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) and multiple motorsports facilities, announced today that Aaron Polburn has stepped down as President and General Manager of the IHRA and Scott Gardner, the longtime owner and promoter of Cordova Dragway Park (CDP), has been named the new President effective today. Polburn, who had been at the helm of IHRA since 2004, has stepped down for personal reasons and will transition the company to Gardner over the next two weeks. Gardner will lead the IHRA team based out of the current Norwalk, Ohio office. Cordova Dragway Park, home of the World Series of Drag Racing and previously the host of Nitro Jam events, will return as an IHRA-sanctioned Member Track. Gardner will pass the day-to-day management of CDP to his wife and Vice President of CDP, Laura Gardner and Chris McMahan, Director of Operations. CDP will host a newly added 12th event weekend on the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series™ (NJDRS) 2014 North American Tour. The IHRA recently announced that the NJDRS 2014 North American Tour will feature a number of enhancements for the upcoming racing season including the addition of a national points fund, the return of traditional drag racing, a new Fan Zone pit experience and more. As Gardner moves from CDP to lead the IHRA, IRG will acquire CDP as part of its portfolio of motorsports facilities and take over the management at the end of the 2014 season. Also under Gardner's co-ownership, Eddyville Raceway Park in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and Cedar Falls Raceway in Cedar Falls, Iowa, will become IHRA-sanctioned Member Tracks. With the addition of these three Member Tracks, the IHRA now sanctions 112 facilities in five countries. "It's a great honor and a huge responsibility to take over the position of President of the IHRA," noted Gardner. "The IHRA brand is something I have always felt was a viable drag racing organization. I am confident I can bring new ideas and renewed energy to the table, while staying true to the sportsman racing at the core of the organization." Thank YouFrom all of us at ERP we want to thank all of the racers and fans that supported the track this year. In spite of tough economic times and some bad weather issues in May and June we are fortunate to have had a pretty successful season. Our big events (Night of Fire and World Fuel Altered Nationals) were the best ones we have ever had along with some other very good events. We certainly had some disappointing events and are working on plans to change some events and classes to improve them. As always we would love to have feed back on things you think we are doing right and also ideas to improve things we are now doing or ideas for new things you think might be a good fit for our track. We will consider all suggestions and ideas. We are working on some improvements at the track as time and money permits this fall and next spring. We would like to know what you would like to see for improvements as well. Please email Gerald at email@example.com with any issues or call him at 641-780-3534. Our awards banquet will be on March 8 at the same location in Pleasant Hill as the last few years. You can also send Gerald ideas for special awards that you have for the banquet. Have a great off season. Gerald Kramer and Scott Gardner BIG FALL WEEKEND OF RACING

GLENDORA, Calif. -- NHRA officials announced today a new engine program for the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League with the acceptance of the Briggs & Stratton 206 engine beginning in 2013.
The accepted 206 crate engine must be factory sealed and is approved for all NHRA age groups: 8-9 year old class (12.90-seconds & slower), 10-12 year old (8.90 & slower) and 13-17 year old class (7.90 & slower). No alterations or modifications are permitted except for installation of exhaust header and air filter.
"We could not be more excited to announce this new program and renewed relationship with Briggs & Stratton" expressed Josh Peterson, NHRA V.P. Racing Administration. "The program will greatly reduce the entry level costs for families to get involved in the sport and stimulate the growth of the NHRA Summit Jr. Drag Racing League.
Briggs & Stratton launched the 206 crate engine program in 2008 to give racers an out-of-the-box (simple), cost-effective, performance solution. Building from the proven reliability of the Animal racing engine, the 206 crate engine maintains a level playing field by isolating the performance variables commonly found in standard, mainstream manufacturing. Each 206 crate engine is hand-built in a dedicate facility to exacting standards and measured against a factory developed rule set. The end-result is a performance racing engine with the proven repeatability that has led to four years of world-wide wins at the highest levels of racing right out of the box.
"We are incredibly excited to once again have the opportunity to work with the NHRA and their Jr. Drag Racing League" said David Klaus, director-Briggs & Stratton Racing. "As one of the original founding partners we were able to help be a part of the growth of the league as well as get to know the racing families involved. This sport makes great racers but it also helps make family memories. That is something that Briggs & Stratton Racing loves to be a part of and we look forward to the future."
"NHRA's acceptance of the 206 crate engine is a great opportunity for us to support the league with a new option for cost-effective racing," continued Klaus. "Families now have another cost-effective option to help build memories that will last a lifetime."
For more information and availability of the 206 Engine (part # 124332 8201-01) please visit www.BriggsRacing.com.
Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is the primary sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the United States. NHRA presents 24 national events featuring the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series. NHRA provides competition opportunities for drivers of all levels in the NHRA Summit Racing Series and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. NHRA also offers the Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17. In addition, NHRA owns and operates five racing facilities: Atlanta Dragway in Georgia; Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville in Florida; National Trail Raceway in Ohio; Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis; and Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in Southern California.

Interesting concept, but the execution is a little sloppy. The white color is really photoshop-y. -
illegallydead said 233 weeks ago
looks pretty neat, not sure if this is a buy, but it is a good sketch (one of the first decent ones in a LONG time, IMHO)
Am I the only one who thinks that the castle looks a little like a brain? -
Nnenene said 233 weeks ago
I have to agree with stablercake, but its such a great design. I love it! -
SimpleSins said 233 weeks ago
The top makes me feel like im looking at a brain =\ but its really interesting! -
ladynightshade said 233 weeks ago
I guess I must have a morbid mindset since I saw the skull/brain thing to begin with...
Kind of neat, but wouldn't wear it. -
tmaniac said 233 weeks ago
Has anyone else noticed the skull?
The page loaded and I was looking at it from across the room and I thought "Oh, just a skull" and then i left the room, and came back and sat down and said "WoW, that skull is a castle!"
flavorlishios said 233 weeks ago
i don't know if I've just been smokin to much marry jane.....
but that castle looks a little funky -
Plaid Jaguar said 233 weeks ago
Lol, it's definitely supposed to be an optical illusion. It's both a skull with brains, and a castle with a labyrinth.
I love this shirt! Alas, I simply have too many green shirts. I may buy it anyway... -
makenna said 233 weeks ago
This is definitely one of the most original concepts I've seen on this site. It personally isn't by shirt style, but wow. Excellent work. -
Soccerfun88 said 233 weeks ago
Yes, the castle is a skull.
Yes, the roof (or lack-there-of) resembles a brain.
Yes, the "brain" resembles a maze.
I don't think there is anything else that is too obvious that doesn't need to be pointed out, lol... -
Zhyd said 233 weeks ago
I actually really, really like this. I am going to buy it. Right now. My first purchase since Godmachine's 'Freedom.' -
Phillyzero said 233 weeks ago
Personally don't like the colour much. The skull is pretty slick though. -
thejakeyl88 said 233 weeks ago
Every color has something to offer, I believe, so I take each shirt, in each color with a differing opinion on how the design works with the color its in. I have a lot of green shirts and although I'm not in love with green in any particular way, a lot of designs really look great and work well with it. The design is using the background (shirt color) in an extremely well way and I think it adds a lot to the castle. -
pabasi said 233 weeks ago
castlevania 4 was the shiz..
360 whip, swinging on chandeliers. killer soundtrack. altho 3 was also the shiz.. get to change into different character...

Natalie Portman's Ad For Dior Directed by Sofia Coppola
As we've mentioned before, Academy-Award nominee for Best Actress, Natalie Portman has a side gig. The lovely star is also the face of the Miss Dior Cherie campaign. The print ads were photographed by Tim Walker and Sofia Coppola, who shot a previous commercial for Miss Dior Cherie handled the filming, the result of which is shown above. The Miss Dior Cherie fragrance is described as a playful, modern fragrance and has notes of green tangerine, violette, and pink jasmine with strawberry leaves and caramelized popcorn. The advertisement echoes the soft, flirty tones of the scent, showing Portman and a handsome companion kissing and Portman alone, lost in dreamy reverie while holding the perfume bottle and taking a bath with sunglasses on while "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin plays in the background.
Indiewire says that the next famous film director to hit the fragrance ad spotlight is "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky who directed Vincent Cassel in a promotion for Yves Saint Laurent's Perfume "La Nuit de L'Homme."

However, Stevenson responded with four runs in the fifth and sixth innings to seize control and take the victory. Luke Szymanski had a great day at the plate for the Mount going 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Kovach and Dick each went 2-for-4 on the day. The Mount hurt itself offensively by leaving 13 runners on base. Mount Aloysius will be in action again when they travel to Myrtle Beach, SC.

Blue Jackets 4, Devils 1: Defenseman James Wisniewski collected a goal and two assists and Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky turned aside 24 shots to snap a four-game slide as Columbus kept New Jersey winless on the road.Brandon Dubinsky netted a power-play goal and added an assist and Cam Atkinson also scored. Marian Gaborik capped the scoring with an empty-net tally for the Blue Jackets, who spotted the Devils a one-goal lead before scoring four straight over the final 1 1/2 periods.Michael Ryder scored with the man-advantage and veteran Jaromir Jagr notched an assist while playing in his 1,400th NHL game. Cory Schneider finished with 20 saves for the Devils, who are winless in their last nine road contests (0-7-2).With the game tied at 1-1, Atkinson capped a brilliant individual effort along the boards before his backhander from the high slot beat Schneider inside the left post with 4 1/2 minutes remaining in the second period. Wisniewski provided insurance 4:12 into the third after his shot from the blue line deflected off the stick of New Jersey defenseman Mark Fayne and past Schneider.The Devils recorded the first seven shots of the second period before snapping a scoreless draw at the 6:24 mark. Ryder accepted a feed from Jagr before wiring a shot from the low slot that rang inside the far post for his team-leading fourth goal - and second in as many games. Dubinsky answered just over 3 1/2 minutes later after diving into the crease to poke home a rebound following Wisniewski's shot from the point.GAME NOTEBOOK: New Jersey has scored a power-play goal in three consecutive games - after mustering just one in its previous six contests. ... Devils C Travis Zajac denied by Bobrovsky on the doorstep late in the first period, keeping him at 99 career goals. ...
