A former model whose dark and handsome good looks made him the ideal candidate for a role on television's most supernaturally charged daytime drama,
Jesse Metcalfe
made a big impression on television viewers when he made his small-screen debut as the easygoing Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions in the late-'90s. The Waterford, CT native and Tisch School of the Arts graduate has also appeared in a number of commercials and magazines (including Seventeen and YM) on his way to the top. Sent on an open call for Passions by his modeling agency in 1999,
won out over hundreds of other actors thanks to a winning combination of good looks and relaxed talent in front of the cameras. After an impressive five-year run on the outlandish soap opera,
appeared in a reoccurring role on the popular cult hit

A high-profile criminal lawyer finds his bid for the governorship in jeopardy when an ambitious rookie journalist begins suspecting him of tampering with evidence in order to secure his many convictions in director Peter Hyams' remake of the 1956 Fritz Lang classic. Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) has a reputation for putting criminals behind bars, and with elections approaching he seems a shoo-in for governor.

Nicholas (Jesse Metcalfe) frames himself as a murder suspect in hopes of catching Hunter in the act, the two fierce rivals become caught up in a treacherous game of cat and mouse. But Assistant DA Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn) has no idea about her boyfriend C.J.'s latest assignment, and as the evidence against both men begins to pile up she starts to suspect that she's in mortal danger -- and she's right. Now, as Ella discovers irrefutable proof of both C.J.'s innocence and her boss' shady dealings, the fate of two men rests in the hands of one woman whose life could be taken at any second. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three teenagers two-timed by a local lothario decide to turn the tables on him in this romantic comedy. John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is the big man on campus at his high school -- he's the captain and star player of the basketball team, he's got money, he's good-looking and charming, and he can have any girl he wants. However, the latter attribute is about to get him in serious trouble when three different girls at his school -- Heather (Ashanti), Beth (Sophia Bush) and Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) -- discover they've all been dating John at the same time. Determined to bring down the campus ladykiller, the girls devise a plan -- they pick a cute but socially clumsy girl who is new at school, Kate (Brittany Snow), and give her a crash course in stealing John's heart. Once Kate has John wrapped around her little finger, she's supposed to drop him like a bad habit and give him a taste of what heartbreak is really like. However, it seems that the early stages of the plan work a little too well, and John and Kate end up falling for each other for real. John Tucker Must Die also stars Jenny McCarthy, Penn Badgley, and Dan Payne. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An awful lot of awful things happen in the outwardly respectable neighborhood surrounding Wisteria Lane during the first season of Desperate Housewives, beginning with the suicide of Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) -- who still manages to stick around in spectral form to serve as the series' narrator. Why did she do it -- and what exactly is her husband, Paul (Mark Moses), trying to cover up by throwing that old box he'd dug up from the backyard swimming pool into the river? Then there are Mary Alice's housewife friends Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria). Divorcée Susan starts dating handsome plumber Mike (James Denton), only to be undercut by the neighborhood's resident vamp, the much-married Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan). Lynette has given up a high-paying business career to take care of her family, only to be rewarded with the cutthroat competitiveness of husband Tom (Doug Savant), the miserable behavior of her children, and the open scorn of such obnoxious neighbors as Maisy Gibbons (Sharon Lawrence). Control freak Bree, described by the ABC publicity folks as "Martha Stewart on steroids," finds her life spiralling out of control when her husband, Rex (Steven Culp), divorces her and her sociopathic son, Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom), adopts a "so what" attitude after striking down an old woman with his car. And sexy ex-model Gabrielle is cheating on her moonstruck millionaire husband, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), with hunky 17-year-old gardener John (Jesse Metcalfe). And that's only a sample of what season one has to offer. Want more? Well, you asked for it! Susan accidentally burns down Edie's house and is blackmailed on that account by a Mrs. Martha Huber (Christine Estabrook) -- who is later killed by Paul Young, but it is Mike who is arrested for her murder. Later still, Susan is descended upon by her ex-husband, Karl (Richard Burgi), and her intrusive mother, Sophie Bremmer (Lesley Ann Warren). As for Lynette, she finds out that her husband's sainted father (Ryan O'Neal) is a serial philanderer. Also, after painfully adjusting to the breakup of her marriage, Bree starts going out with pharmacist George Williams (Roger Bart); Paul Young's son, Zach (Cody Kasch), inexplicably drops out of sight; and it is revealed that the oh-so-judgmental Maisy Gibbons has been sleeping with practically every man in the neighborhood -- including Bree's ex Rex! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I like to have a salve on hand and this one really is a nice choice. The salve is a nice blend of natural ingredients with a beeswax base, and the scent is not too strong. The packaging is such that it can sit in a drawer or counter top and look fashionable either way. I would call it a must-have item.
This has been a life saver for my new gym routine. It has been hard to adjust to my new workout schedule, but a little of Lucky Tiger Muscle Rub has made the soreness bearable.
From someone with back pain this is a great product. After applying it the pain was lessened and didn't slow me down for the rest of the day.
This offers relief to some sore muscles but the smell is a bit strong so may need to limit use to when you are not heading out.
This stuff didnt live up to the "soothing" words it used. It was very potent in smell but lacked hard in effectiveness for me.
I was extremely surprised at how quickly it helped relieve my muscle soreness and tightness, and shocked that the smell was actually pleasing and not overbearing. I will actually buy more of this before I run out. It's now a daily addition to morning routine.
I use tiger bomb for aches and pains. this is not as strong but this has a lighter smell to it them tiger bomb does so you fell more comfortable rubbing it on during the day time as needed. the zest wears off pretty quickly too.
Great product from a great company. They don't disappoint. Really nice product for after workouts and keeping your muscles quick to recover for another day.
Feels like icy hot, but stronger. You don't need a lot for it to be effective.
It goes on strong but fades quickly. Typical strong menthol smell that you might expect. I like it. Good ingredients too.

Francisco Solís
the Conservancy's Country Representative in Chile
by Marcela Torres
The results of Chile's first public opinion poll on environmental issues reveal surprisingly strong national awareness and support for conservation.
The poll was conducted by The Nature Conservancy, in partnership with US and Chilean firms, and is the first time in Chile that such research has been exclusively focused on public support for the environment.
More than 80 percent of respondents call for government action on assuring conservation of native forests, preserving marine life, protecting lakes and rivers from contamination and clearing up air pollution. This shows that the Conservancy's work in Chile is in tune with what people identify as the main issues (View a summary PowerPoint Presentation of the environmental poll).
"People are asking the government to conserve native forests and marine life, two of the most relevant habitats where we are currently developing projects in this country," says Francisco Solís, the Conservancy's representative in Chile.
The poll shows strong voter support for conservation across the board:
"What is most outstanding about this survey is that it shows that Chileans do not perceive conservation and development in opposition," says Solís. The study also reveals that support for government action on the environment cuts across all demographic subgroups, including geography, income, gender and political party affiliation.
These results provide the first comprehensive baseline data about public attitudes toward conservation in Chile and contribute with input to plan the Conservancy's work in the country's Mediterranean habitats and coastal deserts, for example.
According to Solís "the poll covers a series of topics that are usually absent from most surveys and that are now placed on the national agenda in the hope that they can be included in public policies to achieve a coordinated effort by the government, private companies and citizens to conserve the environment for future generations in Chile."
To conduct this survey, The Nature Conservancy partnered with U.S. strategic polling firm of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FMMMA) and the Chilean firm, Objetivo. The poll was carried out between November 7th and 18th, 2009 and the sample included 1,000 telephone interviews of randomly selected registered voters from 12 out of 15 regions in Chile, representing 98 percent of voters.

Box office forecasters may have learned to underestimate Sony's Think Like a Man at their peril. For the second weekend in a row, the film eclipsed predictions, coming in at No. 1 with $18 million, according to studio estimates. The pundits turned out to have misfired on several fronts. Coming in second was the animated family film Pirates! Band of Misfits, which carried off an $11.5-million booty to edge out Warner Bros.' The Lucky One, which collected around $11.3 million and Lionsgate's The Hunger Games with $11.2 million. (The finishing order of those three films could be altered when a final tally is announced on Monday. Weekend estimates are based on actual ticket sales for Friday and Saturday and an educated guess for Sunday.) So where did that leave Universal's The Five-Year Engagement, the film that was supposed to wind up at the top, according to tracking studies and the calculations of the experts? Why, in fifth place, that's where, although with an estimated $11.1 million, it, too, could see its final position on the box-office chart readjusted when final figures are announced. Two other weekend entries, Safe from Lionsgate and The Raven from Relativity, finished in sixth and seventh place, with $7.7 million and $7.2 million respectively. There were no surprises at the overseas box office, where Disney/Marvel's The Avengers came in at No. 1. the only surprise may have been the size of the victory — $178 million in 39 markets (not including Russia, China, or Japan), including record takes in several of them. The superhero movie is due to open domestically next weekend. »

Over three thousand miles from HQ lies a factory that is one of the most unusual examples of manufacturing's great migration east. Move over Beijing, beat it Bangalore and step forward Belfast – home to a site belonging to Canada's Bombardier Aerospace. "Given that we export 100% of what we do outside of Northern Ireland," says plant boss Michael Ryan of jet wings, nacelles and fuselages largely bound for the US and Asia, "and we import 95% of the materials we use to make our products, it's hard to argue why we should be here." It's a enduring conversation Ryan has had with his Montreal-based paymasters. And at first glance his vantage point seems precarious. The site was previously the home of state-owned flying boat maker, Short Brothers, before being bought by Bombardier in 1989. The location does have its problems, attracting skilled staff, high labour costs, even higher energy prices and a shipping route that would send most lean practitioners into rehab. "There are no direct transport links from NI to the US," explains Ryan, vice president and general manager at the site. "What we build here we put on a ferry to Stranraer. We drive it from Stranraer to Liverpool and put it on another boat. A week later, I can see the boat out at the end of the loch passing up the Irish Sea." You can almost hear the line going dead as the accountants in HQ tot up the extra inventory cost caused by this detour. Yet the opposite appears to be true. Bombardier Belfast has benefited from almost £2 billion of investment cash since 1989, including a £300m windfall in 2008 to support the production of advanced composite wings for the C-Series commercial aircraft. The site is a centre of excellence for design and manufacture, and produces fuselages for the Learjet and Challenger business jet. "We make sure our performance beats Montreal's expectations," Ryan says of the site's burgeoning portfolio. "Whether that's financial, health and safety, time to market or environmental... whatever the measure." Efforts are focused by a Bombardier's global continuous improvement programme called 'Achieving Excellence System', geared around safety, quality, productivity and skills development. Touch labour costs have tumbled by 15% since 2007 and the man hours per set for a Learjet 45 by 33%. Results have been fuelled by a ruthless honesty with the site's 5,000 workers, explains Ryan. "Our unions know we can't compete on simple stuff with the Chinese or Brazilians. We just can't." The emphasis, instead, is on adding value, he reveals. "Not just working with their hands, but thinking whether there's a more efficient way of doing it." Workers do this free from fear that diminishing workloads will damage their job security, adds Ryan. A pact with unions prevents concerns over turkey's voting for Christmas, he explains. "We have a social pact with our workforce. We've said there will never be compulsory redundancies here again unless the future of this site is in jeopardy." A downturn can be dealt with by reducing the site's temporary workforce, which makes up 5% of total manpower, adds Ryan. "The core workforce know they are protected – they can deliver ideas that take hours out of work and reduce cost knowing they're not working themselves out of a job." It's symbolic of a site displaying the same inventive streak that once characterised the dribbles of George Best, the city's most famous son. "We cannot survive in NI with our inherent inefficiencies by making things... In today's world, anybody and everybody makes things... How we will remain competitive is by moving up the value side of the manufacturing process." Ryan preaches a manufacturing holy trinity. Designing, making and servicing: separate identities yet part of the same greater being. One of the elements can become more prominent, but none can survive in isolation. So the West's fascination with manufacturing decline is a misnomer, according to the Bombardier chief. What we are really seeing is the advance of lesser known servicing and design functions. Bombardier's recent move to open aircraft servicing centres in Bangalore and Singapore reinforces the point. Manufacturing, in contrast, has been moving the other way. Ryan is candid on the loss of much low-tech production to Asia, but it's a fallacy to believe it will disappear completely, he stresses. "If we want to design things and we want to support them in the aftermarket then we need to know how to make them. We will never get to the point where we're never making things. Because not making them means you will not have the knowledge to get to the next design." For example, Q400 fuselage production will move from Belfast to China within two years, he reveals. But in its place comes manufacturing of wings for the C-Series. "Wings are more complex than a fuse," he explains. "The fuse just holds people but wings keep the fuselage in the air. The value added on wings is much higher. We're moving up the value chain." Western aerospace giants have taken on the guise of armies in structured retreat. Instead of trying to defend everything, the focus is on reinforcing key strongholds. The tactic is proving a profitable one at Bombardier. Ryan says: "As we build the C-Series wing, that composite technology is migrating to the Learjet 85 wing. The composite parts of the Learjet 85 are now being built in Belfast which wasn't on the horizon five years ago. We expect to build the next composite wing in Belfast and the one after that." Confidence is high. Bombardier is actively recruiting and building more private jets than ever, according to Ryan. The shopfloor hums with the sound of riveting as the fitters from Belfast make playthings for the millionaires of Mumbai. The biggest threat to those pneumatic rivet guns going quiet does not come from the rise of a copycat in some far flung land but a skills gap close to home. "I feel manufacturing has failed in telling its story to the UK public," bemoans Ryan. "I don't think we've been successful in that and that's why we've failed to attract the best people." Ryan hopes to redress the balance as an industry champion for the government's Make it in Great Britain campaign. At a company level, Bombardier tackles skill shortages by teaming up with local schools to entice youngsters into engineering. A particular focus is made on making careers appeal to girls, adds Ryan. "We can't afford to sit here and say we need to be so good because we're in Northern Ireland but not engage 50% of the population." Working smarter is also a key objective for Ryan's Bombardier team. A new advanced composites and engineering R&D centre has launched on site in partnership with the government, local universities and fellow employers. The project aims to share technological advances among NI manufacturers and has certainly won plaudits in Montreal, according to Ryan. "They look at what we're doing and they've gone back to Canada and said how come we can't do this?" It can't be the first time Belfast has left the Canadians scratching their heads in marvel. With Ryan and his team delivering that trademark flair to manufacturing in all its guises, it's unlikely to be the last. Don't mention the Germans From moving a factory to Belfast to escape Luftwaffe bombs to seeing a sister site controversially lose out on a train building deal to Siemens last year, the Germans have been something of a nemesis in the story of Bombardier Belfast. "I was really hacked off from a UK point of view," says Michael Ryan of the government's decision to award a £1.4 billion contract to the German owned firm over his train building colleagues at Bombardier Derby. "I thought from an industrial point of view it was a real mistake." It's a move that has seen 1,200 jobs lost at Bombardier Transportation in Derby, although Siemens has vowed new posts in its UK supply chain. "I'm absolutely convinced no other government would make the same decision," adds Ryan. "We're trying to play the best game of cricket within the rules but the others aren't playing cricket – they're playing rugby." Clashes with Germany are nothing new. Previous site owner Short Brothers moved from Kent to Belfast in 1936 because the location was believed out of the range of German bombers. The surveyors got their maths wrong and the site was raided during World War II. Short Brothers took compensation after the conflict by stripping out machinery from German factories and importing it to Belfast as part of war reparations. Bavaria had the last laugh, though, as the lathes were still turning nearly 50 years later thanks to a lack of investment by the government-owned Short Brothers, reveals Ryan. "If you'd walked into our machine shop in 1989, it was full of lathes and turning machines that were all stamped Frankfurt, Cologne and Munich." Four challenges of making it in Northern Ireland Shipping to the US Goods bound for the home of the brave must summon the strength for a courageous journey via road and sea back to mainland UK before retracing their steps back across the Irish Sea. The detour takes nearly a week and Ryan, along with fellow business leaders, is lobbying for government support in introducing a direct link. Troubled past Northern Ireland has struggled to shed the images of bloodshed that marked over 100 years of conflict in the province between republicans and unionists. The Troubles have cast a long shadow over recruitment from the UK and beyond, says Ryan: "Attracting talent is pretty difficult. People don't want to come here because of our history." Government support When the government is on side the results can be stunning, says Ryan. A project to build the wings for the new C-Series at Belfast is one example. A £21m InvestNI grant and £113m of repayable launch aid from Westminster helped convince Bombardier to award the £520m deal to Belfast. The investment has paid dividends for the NI economy through growing export business and jobs. But Ryan wants to see the government pump more of the profits back into local manufacturing as a result. "Just put the money you're earning on the back of original investments back into aerospace because it will earn you more… That's our debate with the government." Supply chain weakness Northern Ireland is almost a microcosm of Great Britain. The public sector dwarfs the private – in part a consequence of companies struggling for investment as a result of the Troubles. "Yes, we have suppliers in Northern Ireland. But if you look at the clusters that Rolls-Royce or GKN would have, it's very small." Bombardier turns to mainland UK and predominately Europe to fill the gaps.

Greek Girls' Baby Names: 21 unexplored ancient treasures
Greek names, particularly for girls, are beginning to make more of a mark on the American baby namescape. The Greek Sophia is our Number 1 name, and Chloe and Zoe are at 10 and 31, respectively. Tina Fey looked back to her Greek roots for the names of her second daughter Penelope Athena and Kourtney Kardashian followed with her own little Penelope a year later. Little Greek gods and goddesses are sliding down slides in Boston and Brooklyn playgrounds, where even extreme choices like Persephone and Andromeda are becoming accepted.
But there is a wealth of baby girl names still to be imported from this ancient culture, ranging from mythological deities' and saints' names to botanicals to place names. Easy to pronounce, with many bearing a strong family resemblance to familiar English names, here are of the best underused Greek baby names.

By Morgan Clendaniel
New York is a city defined by its public transportation system. It's why, when large parts of it were taken out during Sandy, it was so palpable: It was an easy touchstone for the damage done throughout the city. If the subways weren't working, the city was truly in trouble. This video, which shows one day of the MTA's entire system, shows just why: The public transit that keeps the city running is an insanely complex dance that's also mesmerizing to watch.
There's so much happening in the video that it can be a little hard to parse. It begins at 4 a.m., when there isn't enough activity to make it entirely clear what's going on. As rush hour begins, though, you begin to see the outlines of the subway map and the city taking form. Each square on the subway is coded to the color of its subway line. For instance, you can see a solid stream of green squares--representing the 4 and 5 trains--leaving the southern tip of Manhattan and rolling through the tunnel into Brooklyn.
By 10 a.m., you can fully see the colorful New York subway map (it may be a little hard to recognize, because this map isn't scaled the same way as the squished and distorted subway map). All the colorful squares moving between the subway lines are buses. And if you look to northern Manhattan or western Brooklyn, you can see an occasional lone grey square--a MetroNorth or Long Island Rail Road train--going off to a farther destination.
As we've seen with videos of carpooling in Germany and bike-sharing in Boston, point-to-point transit data makes for an easy compelling data visualization. It's fascinating to watch because our society is built on the premise that we move around a lot, and we've constructed complex systems to serve that need. To watch them in action--especially one as complex and important as New York's--gives you a true sense of human accomplishment.
The intrepid YouTuber who created this video has made simmilar videos for a bunch of other cities--including Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. None are remotely as compelling as New York's, but there are a few below for your viewing enjoyment.

By Mayo Clinic staffBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health disorder that generates significant emotional instability. This can lead to a variety of other stressful mental and behavioral problems.
With borderline personality disorder, you may have a severely distorted self-image and feel worthless and fundamentally flawed. Anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you may desire to have loving and lasting relationships.
If you have borderline personality disorder, don't get discouraged. Many people with this disorder get better with treatment and can live satisfying lives.

Fisher, relay capture titles at Silver girls track
WESTERN SPRINGS – The 4 x 200-meter relay and Emma Fisher earned first-place finishes for York at the West Suburban Silver meet to highlight the Dukes' showing.
York placed fourth with 92 points at the meet, which was May 3 at Lyons Township.
Fisher won the 3,200-meter run with a time of 10:38.54. Fisher's typical rival in distance races, Glenbard West's Madeline Perez, didn't run in the 3,200. Perez is expected to do so at the sectional meet Friday at York. A fresher Perez won the 1,600 and beat Fisher by more than 11 seconds.

Ming Dragon Dinnerware
Black and white may be the hot colors in dinnerware, but few things are bolder than a flaming red dragon, which the Ming Dragon Dinnerware from designer Johann Joachim Kaendler proudly displays. The fine porcelain is hand painted, with gold edging on the plates. Because the dragon is traditionally portrayed either in the clouds or amidst waves, the dishes have a slightly scalloped outer edge and, in a slightly unusual touch, the coordinating teacup shows the same wave-like patter along its rim. Price, per 5-pc. setting: $958.

I ordered the blue suede which is a really pretty color.
When I tried them on and found they were very stiff and tight, I probably could have broken them in but couldnt deal with the pain of doing that. So I sent them back!
Too bad because the pointed toe had just the right amount of pointiness to it!

Toned-down Acura TL SH-AWD sports latest tech
The last iteration of the Acura TL launched with too bold a look, and after only a couple of years in production, the 2012 version comes out with a toned-down grille piece and more subtle lines. Although the 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD is not as distinctive as its predecessor, its Acura identity remains intact.
And although it doesn't sit at the top of Acura's model lineup (that position is reserved for the RL), the TL SH-AWD shows off Acura's latest technology, and exhibits a level of comfort and luxury that outstrips its siblings. New features for the … Read more

Viva La Vuelta
Words: Christian Vande Velde | Photos: Yazuka Wada
Extract from the Rouleur photography annual volume 4
La Vuelta Espana is the least known Grand Tour of the 'big three'. It lacks spectators, TV ratings, the massive ambition that the Tour and the Giro bring, and of course, the history. However, almost all of these traits are because of where it falls on the calendar year. And we all love it for that. Smashing through the arid countryside at speeds unfathomable to almost anyone (including myself sometimes), all for the sake of racing. If you are motivated, fresh and have goals past the month of August, at the Vuelta you have already won.
September is an interesting month in the cycling world. Most of us have been on the road for the better part of 10 months by this time and although the body is still working properly, the mind is exhausted. Airports, hotels and skype calls with the family lead to an unhappy and unmotivated athlete (not to mention family). So thank God we have the Vuelta to fool us into racing our bikes when we can't bear the thought of doing another interval up some random hill.
We have an organiser who will take us up every goat path with gradients over 20 per cent in Spain. Believe me, should you happen to be the owner of a construction company with the means to make a road that is ridiculously steep, chances are the Vuelta might come to your back yard. The ultimate brainless training.
That said, I love the race. It has a laid-back attitude, bright sunshine, amazing scenery, nice people, good hotels and great food. Plus the hardest racing you can get that close to the off season. And the sleep? My lord, this is where riders with children come to rest up before the off-season with their families.
It is also the perfect race for spectators. There is practically no crowd control at the starts and you can pretty much walk around and meet any cyclist that you care to name; ride the course on your bike before the race without being thrown off by an over ambitious police officer; refuel with a great dinner and some local wine; and – if you aren't too tired – take in some night life, where you may rub shoulders with one of your heroes who is racing the next day. No shit, it happens.
The Vuelta is hilly, hot, and not easy. The first week this year the thermometer never went below 100 and the 'sprinter' stages had 7,000 feet of climbing. So if anyone ever says that the Vuelta is easy, they are ignorant, misinformed or both.
Ambition is the key word here. There are Spaniards whose likeness will be cast in bronze in their respective villages after any sort of breakaway (doomed or otherwise), stage win or halfway decent performance. There are riders without contracts for the following year killing themselves to get into breaks, others who need to turn around a horrible season. And, of course, the guys trying to prepare for the world championships. (Most of them know full well that they wouldn't be able to come close to training properly if left to their own devices at home.) Then there's a final ten per cent who weren't given a choice in the matter and needed to fill out a roster. All of this gives the race a unique feeling of opportunity.
It also makes for the perfect storm of insane tactics and racing. Anything goes. Take yesterday for example. I would be hard pressed to find more than a handful of harder first hours' of racing than yesterday. Now, depending on which side of the sword you fall, that could be good or bad. I loved it. It is what racing is all about. The radios don't come into play because everything is happening too fast. And everyone is racing. Everyone – the GC guys jumping into breaks and the guys at the back, racing their hearts out to survive another day.
As for me, La Vuelta serves a purpose second to none: getting a massive block of racing back in my legs, regaining the confidence that has left me over the past few months, and enjoying being a bike racer again – all things that are taken for granted until you crash…over and over and over.
The lack of preparation that I had going into this race would have left me struggling anywhere else. But at the Vuelta, anything is possible, and if you had the opportunity to see an unknown kid from Bratislava launch himself onto the podium yesterday in the TT, and the well-known race leader go from first to fifth over a 46-kilometre course through the some of the best vineyards in the world, you would agree.
This is a great race.

Kanye West is the prime example of a musical paragon. His immense talent has earned him multiple Grammys, monumental record sales, and extensive international recognition. Juxtaposing such enormous success is his endearing mascot, a teddy bear, which has appeared on all three of his album covers as well as the cover for the single Stronger. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, West moved to Chicago with his mother, Donda West, when he was three. He grew up in the city and eventually enrolled at Chicago State University. West was ultimately more concerned with his music then his grades and eventually dropped out to pursue a career in the industry. He gained prominence by producing hit singles for already established hip hop and R&B artists such as Jay-Z, Paul Wall, and Common.
In 2004, West released his first independent album, College Dropout, carefully balancing mainstream appeal and unique subject matter. In 2005, it was nominated for the Grammy awards Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Song for Jesus Walks. It was later named best album of the year by Rolling Stone magazine. Its first single, Through the Wire, (recorded when West had his mouth wired shut after a near fatal car accident) reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. The album has since gone triple platinum in the United States. West released his second album Late Registration in 2005. It sold over 860,000 copies in its first week, the highest first week sales of any Def Jam Records recording artist at that time. Since then, it has gone on to sell over 3.5 million copies in the U.S. Multiple tracks have enjoyed time on the Billboard charts, including Gold Digger which reached the number one spot. It was nominated for Album of the Year in the 2006 Grammys and received the award for Best Rap Album. The success of Late Registration set the stage for West's third release, Graduation. Highly anticipated, Graduation sold 957,000 copies in its first week of release, thus becoming the highest sales week for a 2007 album. It quickly reached number one on the United World chart, selling 1,153,000 copies internationally. On January 15th, 2008, it was certified as double Platinum. Graduation received generally positive reviews, although some critics did not take to it as warmly as they did his earlier two albums. Despite some lukewarm reviews, Graduation still managed to win a Grammy in 2008 for Best Rap Album. Kanye West recently lost his mother, Donda, to complications from cosmetic surgery. Despite this, he continues to tour, often dedicating the song Hey Mama to her during his performances.US hip-hop artist. A respected producer for the Roc-A-Fella camp known for his taste for sped-up soul samples. Has since come out from behind the boards to enjoy significant success as an MC. Before he even became a successful rapper, Roc-A-Fella had rejected Kanye's proposal to start making music too. It wasn't until 2002, when Roc-A-Fella decided to give him a chance.
Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy award winning rapper, producer, author, designer and singer. He began making beats and rapping in the early 90s in Chicago, IL, United States when he formed the rap group Go Getters with Chicago natives GLC and Really Doe. He later gained nationwide popularity in New York when he began producing tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Twista, Mase, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys.

Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer. West first rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, where he eventually achieved recognition for his work on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint, as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent productions saw him broadening his musical palette and expressing influences encompassing '70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synthpop, and classical music.
West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004, his second album Late Registration in 2005, his third album Graduation in 2007, his fourth album 808s & Heartbreak in 2008, and his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. West released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne with Jay-Z in 2011, which is the duo's first collaborative album. His five solo albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards and critical acclaim. All albums have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S. upon release. West has had 6 songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of December 2012, with "Gold Digger" selling 3,086,000, "Stronger" selling 4,402,000, "Heartless" selling 3,742,000, "E.T." selling over 4,000,000, "Love Lockdown" selling over 3,000,000, and "Niggas in Paris" selling over 3,000,000 , placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. He has sold over 30 million digital songs in the United States making him one of the best-selling digital artists of all-time. He is also one of the most awarded artists of all-time.

Super Ad Sunday: A Look at Some Creative Super Bowl XLVII Commercials
Another Super Bowl has come and gone and this year's game screamed creativity. Though we were disappointed our hometown team didn't win, we were impressed with the stage design of Beyonce's half time show, and the awesome pyrotechnics. However, it was the unique and creative ads that had everyone talking.
Each year, brands use every drop of creativity they have to produce compelling 30 – 60 second ads that will be seen by millions of people. To honor the hard work of these creative professionals (and to help get your own imaginative wheels spinning for your next project), we wanted to showcase a few notable placements that sparked our attention:
And of course, who can forget the infamous power outage that occurred during the game? We wanted to give a special shout out to Oreo, who among many other brands, took advantage of this happening to gain additional exposure on social media.
Which ad did you find to be the most creative this year? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below, or on Facebook, or Twitter!

Tank Storage Canada is part of a family of global events in the bulk liquid storage sector
Each event focuses on a specific tank storage hub, such as the ARA and Singapore, and looks at the issues specific to the area. Canada, for example, is a unique market, home to one of the largest oil producing regions in the world. As such, this event targets terminal operators already situated in Canada, those looking to invest in the region or those simply wanting to better understand the local market.
Presentations are designed to educate and inform. Based on market research with existing terminal operators, previous delegates and readers of Tank Storage magazine, the programme has been created to bring together a wide range of experts to provide an intense two days of training.
The programme delivers in-depth market analysis, providing up-to-date information on topics such as oil & petrochemical price trends, the amount of current storage capacity, future needs for infrastructure, trade flows and market dynamics.
Independent analysts and experts will all come together in one place to answer questions you may have. In order to grow in Canada, companies need to be aware of what the future may hold. This section will answer questions such as:
- How much are the oilsands expected to grow?
- Where will this product be exported?
- Which regions may need additional storage infrastructure to facilitate this?
- How long is the market expected to be in a backwardated state?
- Which terminal facilities have recently expanded in the region, and what are the reasons behind this?
- What impact will refinery closures and the growth of the biofuels market have on storage terminal growth?
- Does the aviation sector offer a potential investment opportunity?
- What should I be thinking about when expanding my facility?
- Where do potential investment opportunities lie?
The second major issue to be addressed at this event is that of regulations. As anyone in the sector knows, it is of upmost importance to comply with the latest API and local standards - and in order to comply, you need to be aware of the latest changes. API 2350, for example, covering overfill prevention was recently been updated in May 2012. Experts explaining these changes, as well as others, will be on hand to make sure you have everything you need to comply.
Coupled with this is the need to ensure every terminal is performing the recommended best practices. By hearing about potential near-misses, and the ways in which others carry our safety leadership, you and your employees can gather ideas, implement recommendations and above all ensure safety messages are shared throughout the storage industry.
Last, but not least, this event will also give you the opportunity to hear about new technologies you may not be aware of. Could there be a more efficient or cost-effective way to protect your terminal from lightning, reduce vapour emissions or improve your tank foundations? Without events such as Tank Storage Canada, you may never know.
