Time for the safer 800s
Luckily for everybody, higher averages will come much more safely than on the 990s - safety being the original reason for the switch.Ilmor's X3 was the first of the new 'Safety Bikes' to race. Then Jeremy McWilliams crashed it testing at Jerez, suffering (among other things) a snapped thigh-bone and a badly mashed finger. One can only imagine how much worse poor Jezza's would have been, had he been riding a full 990. All nonsense, of course.
The 800s gain their lap times by running faster corner speeds. I may not know much about racing, but I seem to recall that most people fall off going round corners rather than in a straight line. So if you fall off an 800, you will actually be going faster than on a 990.Never mind. The manufacturers drafted the new rule, and they obviously know what they are doing.
Let's look at another question. Since the new 800s are on substantially the same tyres, and often exactly the same chassis, and have the same minimum weight - how exactly can the same riders now achieve a greater mid-corner speed? Why did they not ride that fast before?
The answer is full of complexities to do with placement of mass and the rotational inertia of a smaller-capacity engine. And it's just another unexpected conundrum, in the same box as the Big Bang concept. Being unexpected is exactly why motorcycles are so interesting.
So farewell then, Sete Gibernau. The rider with the variable hairstyle retired at a tearful ceremony in Spain, after failing to secure anything better than second-string rides for 2007.Unfortunately Sete had become rather a figure of fun in racing, the hair being a contributory factor. Also that he kept getting beaten by Rossi. This is surely not such a sin. All the other riders were as well, and usually still are. Sete was more noticeable, because Sete was the one challenging him most often, twice title runner up.Sete got some lucky breaks, twice taking over factory Honda rides from injured riders. But he also worked hard and took it very seriously. What undid him even more than Rossi was extraordinary bad luck. If something could go wrong, it would happen to Sete. There are countless examples. His Honda ran out of gas once, his Suzuki tossed him out of a massive lead in the wet at Estoril when a new slipper clutch malfunctioned. And so on and on...
This year alone, after one almost unheard-of Ducati engine failure, and losing a toe-slider in the heat of a battle, both times near the front, he triggered the multiple pile-up at Catalunya. Then his ambulance crashed, on the way to hospital. His broken collarbone wouldn't heal, and his year was ruined. Then he was brought down by Stoner at Estoril, hurting it again. Perhaps in retirement, Sete will get the respect he deserves. He had to go without for much of a distinguished racing career.
With the winter testing ban sending all participants home over Christmas and the new year, where they will doubtless spend their time in quiet meditation and spiritual renewal in preparation for 2007's title campaign, we kindly offer some help with their new year resolutions:
Nicky Hayden: Get anger management training... he's not angry enough.
Dani Pedrosa: Learn to control his emotions. He actually smiled after winning his first MotoGP in China, and that will never do.
Loris Capirossi: Stop looking so happy when beaten by Rossi - as in Malaysia.
Kenny Roberts Jr: Must practice counting backwards. Might have won at Estoril, if he'd realised there was one more lap to go.
Colin Edwards: Find new source of inspiration. Professed resentment of this reporter's adverse comments is not working well enough.
Casey Stoner: Must stop being so nice to everybody. (Or is that "start being nice"?)
John Hopkins: Get reinforced toe-sliders - for the next time he feels like kicking the sh*t out of his Suzuki.
Valentino Rossi: Just keep doing it the same. But don't ever get flustered again, like in Valencia.

Sustainable Biotech SMEs – Drivers for European Innovation
For the EU to achieve its goal of becoming the foremost knowledge-based economy in the world and a true 'Innovation Union', biotech Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are vital. Some of the most valuable innovation happens in SMEs which then go on to form relationships with larger companies, paving the way for improved health, cleaner energy, products and processes and sustainable farming for Europe's citizens.
However, to make sure Europe's biotech SMEs thrive, there needs to be an appropriate regulatory and policy framework within which these companies can operate. EuropaBio's SME Platform aims to create just that.

In Part 1 of this blog I argued that despite the defeat of the latest jobs bill in the Senate, seen in historical context, support for the once-taboo idea of cutting payroll taxes is actually steadily growing, and that we're likely to see more, and more ambitious, such proposals in the future. Here's a brief recent (domestic) history of the idea:
For decades MacArthur Fellow and pioneering social entrepreneur Bill Drayton presciently argued that our unemployment problems are not transient effects of the business cycle or lagging indicators of recovery, but fundamental, structural, and worsening, affecting tens of millions of hidden unemployed whose ranks are growing, and that we urgently need to cut payroll taxes and replace them in a revenue-neutral way with other non-labor taxes in order to reverse labor price distortions and unleash job growth.
That would effectively shift the relative prices of labor vs. non-labor production factors 30% or more, correcting the tax-engendered distortions in the way we currently value labor vs. non-labor production values, making hiring much more attractive and bringing tens of millions back into the workforce.
Payroll taxes have ballooned from 1% of federal revenue at their inception to 35% in our time, rivaling income tax revenues. They are the largest tax 80% of Americans pay, as well as the most regressive. So for decades now, we have financed a large portion of the federal budget by artificially raising hiring costs and sacrificing job growth.
Through many recessions and many jobless recoveries, the "third rail" pendulum eventually slowed, stopped and started to swing back towards the dawn of the new idea that our unsustainable reliance on payroll taxes just might have something to do with high unemployment, and that we should amend it.
At first the swing was discernible in certain early adapters and outliers in both parties who began to float the idea of cutting payroll taxes to create jobs. Al Gore's 1992 book Earth In the Balance hinted strongly at it when he argued for a "CO2 tax completely offset by reductions in other taxes." He later made it clear those other taxes should be payroll taxes. Clinton's Comptroller of the US Currency Eugene Ludwig argued for cutting payroll taxes and replacing the revenue with non-labor taxes as the best way to maximize employment and an alternative to sole reliance on Greenspan's Federal Reserve keeping interest rates artificially low.
During the Bush administration certain progressives and conservatives, from then Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) to Bush's National Economic Council head Lawrence Lindsay, favored payroll tax cuts as a superior jobs stimulus. In 2004, during a gasoline price spike there was a noticeable convergence of conservative and progressive economists and columnists, from Thomas Friedman to Charles Krauthammer, arguing that we should raise gas taxes to avoid windfalls for foreign oil producers, and offset them with payroll tax cuts to create jobs. In 2008 T. Boone Pickens launched one similar proposal, Richard Lugar another in early 2009.
Throughout these years, despite occasional support for short-term payroll tax holidays, the general policy bias remained, as always, towards incrementally raising, rather than lowering, payroll taxes. The Obama administration is said to be skeptical about cutting payroll taxes because it would undercut entitlement funding (a rationale Paul Krugman dismisses). Yet Obama has actually presided over serious budget and legislative efforts to cut payroll taxes and replace them with other taxes.
Obama's stimulus package included the Making Work Pay payroll tax credit. The 2010 White House budget proposal included a large payroll tax swap: using about $500 billion in cap-and-trade revenues over 10 years to make MWP permanent (Blue Dog Democrats nixed that in favor of pay-as-you-go requirements, and now MWP is unlikely to be extended for 2011). The HIRE act of 2010 gave payroll tax exemptions to employers who hire previously unemployed workers before the end of the year. In 2009 both Rep. John Inglis (R-SC) and Rep. John Larson (D-CT) proposed separate bills imposing a revenue-neutral carbon tax, swapping the revenue for deep payroll tax cuts to create jobs. And although the latest payroll tax cutting measure was limited and died in the Senate yesterday, it was still supported by a simple majority, and there is growing support from leading economists like Nouriel Roubini and Nigel Gault for much more substantial payroll tax cuts to stimulate both hiring and spending.
It's true that tax innovators run political risks these days. Inglis lost his primary to a Tea Party candidate, and it remains to be seen how the conservative backlash will impact this trend towards payroll tax cuts and swaps. On the other hand, there is no lack of conservative champions of payroll tax cuts, from the American Enterprise Institute to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. Election-year gridlock and volatility notwithstanding, payroll tax cuts have climbed higher on the political agenda than ever before, and they're still climbing.

My company has about 125 people in a bunch of small offices, I was hoping to be able to migrate to 5.0 when it comes out...one branch at a time.
Here is what I was thinking...
- Leave old IMAP system in place
- Create users one by one on Zimbra server. Have zimbra deliver all external & internal mail to the old system. Setup user's IMAP account as an external account in Zimbra, so mail is copied to the new zimbra server.
Is this possible? The main thing I don't know how to do is have Zimbra deliver mail that should be internal to the new system...to the old system.
Any help would be great!

Montgomery, Alabama State education officials say they expect to assemble a new list of failing schools before the end of the year.
Alabama Department of Education spokeswoman Malissa Valdes-Hubert told AL.com test scores from last spring are likely to be released this fall and the data will help state officials recalculate schools' test scores.
Valdes-Hubert says parents have until Jan. 1 to let schools know if they plan to transfer students based on the new failing schools list. She says parents are eligible for a $3,500 tax credit to help pay for private school tuition.
The Alabama Accountability Act labels a school as failing if it tests in the bottom six percent in reading and math at least three times within a six-year period.
Seventy-two schools in Alabama are considered failing.

Occam's Razor
By Megan Crepeau
Some people are confused!
• "Why doesn't Barack Obama just come out in support of gay marriage?" asks the Guardian. Uh, because he doesn't believe in it?
• "'The gay community was fully happy in their belief that he 'wink, wink' supported it,' a top Democratic communications strategist said,"says Politico. Then they are fools?
...the Awl's Choire Sicha, who has a novel explanation for why President Obama won't come out in favor of gay marriage.

So today a request came in from one of the two riders joining me on the ride to have a less stressful ride than the one we did a couple weeks ago. So I chose the Franklin Valley but of course nothing is flat around here. We had a great day which started near 50º and ended in the low 60s. The ride ended up at 48 miles and somewhere over 4800' of climbing. I'll let Wolfpack fill in the details.
Neal rides in the valley rimmed by mountains.
Karen tried to put a hurtin' on us old guys.
The cows were out in the pastures on this fine day.
Someone looks like she's suffering as we approach the Skeena climb.
Spring is popping everywhere now.
On the way to the Allison Watts climb. STEEP!
Thank you NCDOT for the rumble strips of death.
Karen begins the Winding Stairs descent, fast and breezy.
Another nice day riding very low traveled roads here in WNC.

Message from Dean Bob Deahl
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Maureen McAvoy is the new College of Professional Studies full-time faculty member for the undergraduate programs. Maureen leaves an administrative position with the Sheboygan Area School District, where she was a grant writer, coach, and administrator of student services to increase student academic success. Since 2004 and while an administrator in the Sheboygan School District she was a part-time faculty member in the College of Professional Studies. As a part-time faculty member in the college she primarily taught at the undergraduate level with some graduate level responsibilities. She currently chairs the Ignatian Pedagogy Paradigm faculty, is a member of the undergraduate curriculum committee and has assisted with creating faculty development sessions. Her primary research interest is the enhancement of adult learning through the direct instruction of reflective thinking strategies. Beyond the skills and abilities listed, Maureen is a nationally certified level 2 coach.
With the combination of her varied professional background and experience, having an earned Ed.D., and most importantly her teaching background, Dr. McAvoy is an excellent fit for the position. The position focuses on teaching excellence and the support non-traditional students need to achieve success in the classroom, in their communities and in their places of work. Dr. McAvoy fully embraces and understands the need for teaching excellence and student services to assist the student population the College of Professional Studies serves.
Through the extensive search process, Dr. McAvoy was selected from over 25 applicants, of whom six were granted interviews. At this point in the college's history, Dr. McAvoy provides a unique set of skills and knowledge to assist the college to academically support its students, continue to strengthen the academic rigor of our program and help students become successful College of Professional Studies graduates who are civically engaged and socially responsible, ethical leaders in our community.
I want to thank Associate Dean Sandi Cleveland and the search team that included faculty from the College of Professional Studies, the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences and the J. William and Mary Diedrich College of Communication for all of their good work.
Welcome Maureen!

New - Leadership Across the Curriculum Throughout Undergraduate Programs
The college has created an online learning system called "Leadership Across the Curriculum" that will be integrated into all undergraduate classes. This interdisciplinary system includes three online modules that build upon each other - starting with Awareness, moving into Application/Practice and concluding with Synthesis. Within each module are common leadership themes: ethical considerations, leadership characteristics and skills, self-awareness, thinking strategies, communication, and diversity.
"As 'Leadership Across the Curriculum' was developed, the faculty wanted to ensure students were given the opportunity to gain an understanding of various aspects necessary to be successful leaders in our world, as well as the opportunity to practice the new ideas they are exposed to in their courses," said Sandi Cleveland, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs.
Students can learn more about Leadership Across the Curriculum by viewing a series of video clips on the Desire to Learn (D2L) site that corresponds with each course in the college's curriculum.
New - Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Sector Administration
Based on job growth in the nonprofit sector and feedback from alumni, the community, current students, and requests from prospective students, the college is offering a 15-credit graduate certificate in nonprofit sector administration as a credential to help students advance or change their careers. The curriculum has been developed with input from nonprofit community leaders, faculty and alumni in the nonprofit sector. Upon completion of the graduate certificate, these 15 credits may be applied to either the master's degree in public service or leadership studies.
Changes to the Graduate Certificate in Law Enforcement Leadership and Management
"The name of the graduate certificate in law enforcement leadership and management has been changed to graduate certificate in criminal justice administration in order to broaden its scope and most accurately reflect the diverse student population enrolled in the program, including not only law enforcement officers, but probation and parole officers, court workers and prison workers to name a few," said Dr. Jay Caulfield, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs.
Additionally, three credits of elective work in criminal justice have been added to the graduate certificate to provide an opportunity for students to participate in a practicum experience. This hands-on experience could especially aid those new to the criminal justice system, giving them the opportunity to establish networks with criminal justice professionals as they seek future employment opportunities.
Lorelei Stein, Bachelor's in Leadership and Organizations
Corporate Travel Agent, Travel and Transport
"I dropped out of college when I was 18 years old because I had no clue why I was there," says Lorelei. Over the years she began to realize that a degree would help her move from a job to a career, but being a single parent with three children put her education goal on hold. She told her children that someday she would go back to school and finish what she started. Lorelei's youngest son pointed out that her children are now adults and it's a good time for her to go back to school to pursue her dream of earning a degree.
As Lorelei began to search for a program for adults returning to school, she learned that the College of Professional Studies combined Marquette University's great reputation with a program designed for adult learners. "There was no question in my mind that this is where I wanted and needed to be," she remarks. She is able to balance her time by applying the multi-tasking and prioritizing skills she mastered as a single parent to her student life. "I also have an absolutely amazing support unit," she says. "In addition to my kids, I have seven wonderful siblings who are behind me every step of the way."
Lorelei is paying for college through a combination of financial resources including financial aid, student loans, grants, and scholarships. She was awarded the 2012 Spirit of Ignatius Scholarship by the college based on her academics and demonstrated leadership reflecting Marquette's mission. While driving with her daughter Claire to the college's honors convocation, Lorelei had no idea what she was going to say during her scholarship acceptance speech. Her daughter said, "Mom, you've spent so many years being someone's sister, daughter, wife, and mother, but now you've become your own person. That's what you should say during your speech." Lorelei realized that her daughter was right. "Through my courses, teachers and friendships that I've made at the college I have found my voice, which has been the best experience. My education has boosted my self-confidence level to a place that I never ever knew existed!"
Tim Hoye, Master's in Public Service
Layton Boulevard West Neighbors
In 1975, Tim arrived in Milwaukee from war-stricken Vietnam as part of "Operation Babylift," an initiative that brought orphaned children to new families. He became the first of four children adopted by his parents. "I have strived to carry on their spirit of giving through community service as an Eagle Scout, engaging in urban immersion projects at St. Norbert College, conducting community development workshops as a Peace Corps volunteer, and building homes for Habitat for Humanity," he says.
After returning to Milwaukee in 2000 from his Peace Corps assignment in Bolivia, Tim worked in the corporate financial sector as a project manager with local firms such as American Appraisal, Baker Tilly International and Harley-Davidson. With a passion and dedication to improve urban housing that stems from his volunteer experience, he wanted to continue to advocate for those in need by transitioning his career to the nonprofit housing sector.
During a college fair at his workplace, Tim learned about the master's degree in public service with a nonprofit sector specialization at Marquette, and he decided it was time to go back to school and gain the knowledge and skills needed for a career transition. This decision helped open the door to a professional position with the nonprofit organization Layton Boulevard West Neighbors. "I am working with the Turnkey Renovation Program, which addresses the most recent problem of foreclosed homes and provides affordable housing to moderate-income families," he says.
Tim is financing his education primarily through loans, work and scholarships. "This past school year I was pleased to receive a scholarship from Southeast Wisconsin Educational Consortium (SEWEC). I believe SEWEC's efforts to provide more access to higher education is essential for community development and personal growth," remarks Tim.
"My graduate education has introduced me to a wide array of opportunities from the aspects of both research and personal connections. I believe a master's degree is an important step in identifying the career path that suits me the best. A degree from Marquette will allow me to be successful in many areas of my life."
Marie Judd, Graduate Certificate in Dispute Resolution
Director of Operations Improvement and Patient Experience, Columbia St. Mary's
In addition to her MBA, Marie wanted to enhance her education with a layer of knowledge and skills in the area of dispute resolution because she has a passion for dissecting issues and resolving conflicts that arise in her professional and personal life. "I selected the graduate program in dispute resolution based on the reputation of Marquette University as well as the program and the professors," says Marie.
The dispute resolution skills are applicable to Marie's current professional role as she collaborates with leadership and teams across the system to ensure that patients have an exceptional experience along with the highest quality of care. "My coursework completely enhanced my job through the readings we were assigned and the topics we would cover," says Marie. "I was able to tailor my school research to something that was applicable and beneficial to Columbia St. Mary's as well."
Attending class on Friday nights and a few Saturday mornings worked well for Marie. "I would leave work, go to school from 4:00 to 7:30 p.m. and still have time to catch a late dinner and home movie with my kids and my husband after class," she says. The class schedule allowed Marie to balance her time and continue to attend her children's sports events, lead her daughter's Daisy troop, teach Junior Achievement in the Mequon-Thiensville School District, serve as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors at Portal, Inc. in Grafton, and actively participate in the American College of Healthcare Executives - Wisconsin Chapter.
"I am certain that my graduate certificate in dispute resolution is enhancing my ability to help individuals reach better outcomes for patients, collaborate with others better, and help resolve conflict with a focus on teamwork, creativity and continuous improvement," says Marie.

Free credit reports, driving records and credit reports
Dear Experian,
Can I request a free annual copy of my credit report? Does your driving record affect your credit score?
Dear CYL,
You can request a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months at www.annualcreditreport.com, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) Web site.
Your driving record is not a part of your credit history, but could be incorporated into insurance scores, which are used specifically by insurance companies when you apply for a policy.
Insurance companies use risk score models designed specifically for that industry, which often incorporate your driving record, to help them evaluate your policy application.
Your driving record, though, will have no bearing on other credit scores used by lenders.
Thanks for asking.

A new patent filed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. suggests the company is moving ever closer to completing its long-rumored virtual reality headset technology.
The latest features, spotted in the patent by NeoGAF user Rösti, describes an "object avoidance apparatus" that detects obstacles in an image of the real-world, calculates their distance from you, and replaces them with different, virtual objects.
The invention's background describes a desire to more fully immerse the player in a video game experience (hence, the wraparound, head-mounted display) with a need to protect the user from obstacles in their immediate vicinity. Our interpretation is that Sony's HMD (head-mounted display) would detect objects in your play space and integrate them into the game world with a virtual representation. The patent describes a warning signal that would trigger when the user gets dangerously close to such an object.
The patent also gives details about the headset at large. Interesting possibilities include an in-built camera that can detect pupil movement and blinking, adjusting the game image accordingly; a biological sensor at a frontal contact region that can detect "body temperature, pulse, blood components, perspiration, brain waves, and cerebral blood flow"; a posture-detection system to feed information to the game about head tilting and body movements; and moving-object detection that can both replace the object with a virtual one and simulate the object's real-world movement in the game.
Last month, we reported that, in an exclusive interview with PSU, Trine 2's developers had hinted at the existence and impending release of Sony's virtual reality headset. Before that, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida played coy with Eurogamer about the headset's existence.
Would you buy a head-mounted display for PS4 with these features? Is there anything missing from the package you think an HMD must have? Any release date predictions? Join the conversation in the comments.

SKorea boost security after NKorea attack
INCHEON, South Korea South Korea's president vowed Thursday to boost security around islands near the site of a North Korean artillery attack while the North warned of more retaliation if the South carries out any "reckless military provocations."
Seoul and Washington also increased pressure on China to use its influence on ally North Korea to ease soaring tensions that erupted after an exchange of fire Tuesday that left four South Koreans dead - including two civilians. China urged both sides to show restraint.
The North's bombardment of a tiny South Korean island along a disputed maritime frontier has alarmed world leaders including President Barack Obama, who reaffirmed plans for joint maneuvers with Seoul in the Yellow Sea starting Sunday.
"We should not let our guard down in preparation for another possible North Korean provocation," South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said during an emergency meeting on security and economic repercussions from the attack, according to Yonhap news agency.
The U.S.-South Korean drills involving aircraft carrier USS George Washington, although previously scheduled, are sure to infuriate North Korea. The North made no specific mention of those exercises in its statement but warned that its military would "launch second and third strong physical retaliations without hesitation if South Korean warmongers carry out reckless military provocations."
The North's statement said Washington was to blame for South Korean artillery exercises earlier in the week near disputed waters which prompted the North to respond with its artillery barrage on Yeongpyeong island Tuesday.
Washington "should thoroughly control South Korea," it said. The warning was issued by North Korea's military's mission at the truce village of Panmunjom and was carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
The Obama administration urged China to rein in its ally North Korea, with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, saying, "We really think it's important for the international community to lead, but in particular China."
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao called on all sides to show "maximum restraint" over recent tensions on the Korean Peninsula and says his country opposes military provocations of all forms.
Wen also urged the international community to work to ease tensions. He repeated Chinese calls for renewed six-nation talks aimed at persuading North Korea to dismantle its nuclear programs.
Wen said those talks, involving the two Koreas, China, Russia, Japan and the United States, are the best way to ensure stability on the peninsula and its denuclearization.
Wen's remarks were made in Russia on Wednesday on a state visit and posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry's website.
South Korea said it will increase diplomatic efforts toward China to secure Beijing's help over North Korea's provocation, according to Yonhap. Repeated calls to the presidential office seeking confirmation went unanswered.
Residents of Yeongpyeong who evacuated the island and began arriving at the South Korean port of Incheon on Wednesday told harrowing tales of fiery destruction and narrow escapes.
Ann Ahe-ja, one of hundreds of exhausted evacuees from Yeonpyeong island arriving in the port of Incheon on a rescue ship, said the artillery barrage that killed four people - two of them civilians - had caught her by surprise.
"Over my head, a pine tree was broken and burning," Ann told AP Television News on Wednesday. "So I thought 'Oh, this is not another exercise. It is a war.' I decided to run. And I did."
About 10 homes suffered direct hits and 30 were destroyed in the midafternoon barrage, according to a local official who spoke by telephone from the island just seven miles (11 kilometers) from the North Korean shore. About 1,700 civilians live on Yeonpyeong alongside South Korean troops stationed there.

Scientist Michio Kaku Finally Admits that …God exists?
Michio Kaku, a very well-known theoretical physicist, has talked about God not only one time. His studies seemed to have led him to recognize that there are other 'forces' that controls the world and it cannot be explained.
In several occasions, Kaku made connections between science and religion, questioned what is behind all theories about the creation of the world and reflected on the existence of eternal life, and the "God of Order."
In one of his declarations in video he says that God must be a mathematician.
"All of a sudden we had super symmetric theories coming out of physics that then revolutionized mathematics, and so the goal of physics we believe is to find an equation perhaps no more than one inch long which will allow us to unify all the forces of nature and allow us to read the mind of God…," he says in the video.
Check these videos. Is he being close to agree with the existence of a Biblical God and that He is the creator of all?

I'm going skydiving today.
I'm going skydiving today.
Sweet! I'd like to try it someday.
I do not like jumping out of bed or off the couch, no way is my arse jumping out of a perfectly good plane.

Skydiving has long been on my list of things I want to do. But every time I have an opportunity I start thinking of the bodily functions that might happen just after that first step and I chicken out.
Have a great jump! I skydove (skydived?) once... over the Rockies. It was awesome. The freefall was unbelievable, the floating was beautiful. The landing... well the landing left a little to be desired. Pain, surgery and lots of leg hardware later here's what I learned... If you're jumping tandem keep your legs lifted high at the landing.
Have a great time and enjoy the ride!!!!
Have a great time. And if for some reason your 'chute doesn't open, remember: It's not the fall, it's the sudden stop at the end.

August is plunge month.
August 5th: Got married
August 15th: Skydiving
I invite you all to take your own plunges. I'm not sure what else there is. Scuba diving, maybe? That or toilet maintenance. I'm not much for water sports, but I think I'd choose scuba diving from that list.
4:00 can't come soon enough. Here's a music video to pass the time.
Married 10 days and already trying to kill yourself? Took me a few years to get to that point.

I gotta try skydiving one of these days.
If you do a tandem jump you get all of the benefits with very little of the responsibility. I highly recommend it.
Did the new wife suggest the jump, have you just set up an insurance policy? Just wondering......
In reality, I would love to hang glide, not to sure about skydiving. I used to work where the navy taught Parachute Riggers how to pack chutes, I knew a lot of Riggers and I would never use theirs.
have fun
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you!
I did a tandem dive from 15,000' while I was in Queenstown, New Zealand a few years back. What an exhilarating experience.
What an amazing experience! It's going to be hard to describe, but I'll try.
We drove about an hour to Greensburg, which seems like an alright little town. Here's a picture of the inside of the facility:
Once we were there we signed about 5,000 waivers and watched a little safety video. It wasn't long after the video that we were getting strapped up and ready to go. I guess it pays to reserve in advance and go on a weekday. I met the guy to whom I would soon be strapped, who was one of the more laid-back instructors. He gave me a quick set of instructions (what to do with my limbs, how to keep my feet up for landing, etc.) and was off to jump with a small group that was going right before us. I was glad for the time to relax, soak things in, and watch and try to learn from others.
Here's lesson #1:
I wasn't going to get any pictures of myself or my wife in the air, so I took plenty of the group that went before us.
(I'll have to add more pictures in another post.)
Everyone had a big smile upon landing, and I started getting excited. After a moment for the instructors to regroup we headed for the plane, which was carrying me, my wife, and one guy doing the accelerated free fall (jumping "alone" with two instructors around to help). The other guy and his instructors were doing a lot of talking, while my wife and I were quietly soaking everything in. When the plane first took off, I was nervous. I remember being maybe 100 feet up and thinking to myself, "I'm scared to jump from even this high, so how am I supposed to jump from 13,000 feet?" I'm not sure if that feeling was made better or worse by how calm and relaxed the instructors seemed to be.
As the plane climbed higher and higher I became more and more relaxed. Eventually I forgot about skydiving for a while and just enjoyed the plane ride. It was almost like any other plane ride I've been on, just staring out the window and thinking about how small we really are. My peaceful plane ride was interrupted by my instructor handing me my goggles and telling me to put them on when the yellow light lit up. All of the sudden skydiving was the only thing on my mind. "Does that mean we're going to jump soon?" "Am I ready for this?" "Am I going to screw something up? I'm not sure I remember everything he told me earlier."
It seemed like forever until that yellow light came on, but it was probably only a minute or so in real time. Out jumped the other guy and his two instructors. Before this could even register in my mind I was being pushed towards the door and told to put my knees on the ground. "Wait a minute, they can't reach! What the hell am I going to do now?" I was hopelessly looking down at my knees when my instructor said, "That's bad." "Wait a minute," I was thinking. "What's bad? How bad is it? Can we step away from the door for a minute and review?" Now's a good time to mention that English wasn't my instructor's native language and something was lost in translation. The thing that was "bad" was that my head was pointed down. It wasn't tilted back with my back arched like he had told me oh-so long ago. I finally got the picture through some sort of nonverbal communication, and before I even had time to look out the door and entertain second thoughts I was plummeting back towards solid ground.
Holy crap, what a feeling! For only the second time in my life I honestly thought I was going to die. I didn't mean to scream, but screams came out. That's right, I screamed like a little girl. My eyes were open, but I couldn't really see much thanks to the clouds and the death-defying tumbling through the air. I decided to close my eyes for a while. That didn't help any. After a little more screaming I finally accepted the fact that I was falling from the sky and began to calm down little by little. This is when I started feeling my face making those funny shapes that you see in the photographs. I preoccupied my mind with trying to figure out which was better- mouth open or mouth closed. I became more and more relaxed and began to enjoy the feeling. For a second there I actually thought that our chute was open and I somehow missed it.
Then I felt my instructor reach to open the chute. I braced for a big impact, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Talk about instant relaxation. First, once the chute was open I was confident that I wasn't going to die. Second, there's just something beautiful about floating through the air under a parachute. This is one of those things that's hard to explain. You're going to have to do it yourself to truly understand.
That's the great thing about skydiving. You get to experience all the emotions. First there's the anticipation with fear mixed in, then there's pure 100% "I'm going to die" fear, then all of the sudden you're feeling the most relaxed and free feeling in the world.
I was a little scared about landing because my instructor was shorter than me and I didn't feel like my legs were up high enough. But everything worked out fine and landing wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I went to hug my wife and even more emotions started coming. I was excited, proud of myself, relieved, and even a little sad that it was over. I was on an adrenaline rush for at least a half hour after the whole thing was over. It was simply amazing.
For anyone who's been wanting to try, go do it already!!
A couple more pictures that wouldn't fit in the last post:
Awesome pics and "ride" report. Sounds like you had a blast.
Skydiving is something I'm going to avoid. I just hate the possibility of the parachute somehow not opening.

Filmmaker/actress Lena Dunham attends the Lena Dunham Keynote during the 2014 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival at Austin Convention Center on March 10, 2014 in Austin, Texas. Photo: Hutton Supancic
Lena Dunham has apologised to Twitter fans for making an unfunny joke about molestation.
Dunham, 27, had recently appeared in a skit on Saturday Night Live but it was her Twitter feed that caused the most offence on Monday.
The Girls star tweeted an off-colour remark about molestation shortly after her "Adam and Eve" skit in response to a "rash" of Twitter comments.

One tweeter had told her "you don't have to get naked all the time!" to which Dunham replied: "Please tell that to my uncle, mister. He's been making me!"
I just made and deleted a not so great molestation joke. Sorry guys. I am really sleepy. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham)
March 10, 2014
Dunham was quick to remove the comment and apologised in a series of tweets.
"I just made and deleted a not-so-great molestation joke. Sorry guys. I am really sleepy," she wrote shortly after the offending tweet.
The Golden Globe winner said her appearance on Saturday Night Live had caused a "rash of very different kinds of Twitter rage" as the show has a much larger audience than her own show Girls.
She said she should have known better.
SNL has a way bigger audience than our usual cozy girls audience, so I was seeing a rash of very different kinds of twitter rage. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham)
March 10, 2014
"Even naked girls get embarrassed. Sleep well and thanks for an amazing weekend," she wrote.
Earlier Dunham had tweeted her excitement about hosting the comedy show. "Cannot overstate how joyful this experience has been," she tweeted. "I have always loved Saturday Night Live, but now I am IN love with you."
Earlier this year Dunham was embroiled in a different kind of controversy when feminist website Jezebel offered a $10,000 reward for the un-retouched images of her Vogue February cover shoot.
The stunt failed to please the actress and writer, and Dunham slammed Jezebel's decision to publish the photos in an interview with Bill Simmons for his Grantland website.
"They made such a monumental error in their approach to feminism," she said. "It felt gross."
Dunham defended the images, saying she was happy with the way she was treated and styled by Vogue.

There are a few reasons why a hen will sneeze.
I remember the 1st time I heard my Bluebell sneeze. I think in jumped higher than the dog. Both of us shocked at the disproportionately loud sound that came out of her!
Chickens sneeze from time to time, it's not uncommon. But there are few areas you should pay attention too because it could be a little more serious.
Typically a chicken will sneeze to clear their nasal passages.
I've notice that sometimes when I've let my two out for a quick scratch around the flower bed that they can bare contain themselves and end up much like my kids getting stuff stuck up their nose – in this case some dirt or soil.
I've also noticed at times that when they are drinking they mistimed thinks and end up sneezing – clearly the water when down or up the wrong way.
All this is pretty common and normal and nothing to be alarmed at.
It could also signal a temporary cold – which tends to be more common occurrence during the wet and cold months.
If your chickens is sneezing on a regular basis you should make sure to keep a close eye on her.
Be on the lookout for other "symptoms" such as bubbly or mucus-y eyes and coughing or gasping for air, because this could indicate a virus infection or disease.
There are several things you should do to help your chickens that appears to have a cold.
- If you can I would recommend separating the sneezing or symptomatic chicken from healthy hens in case the sneezing is caused by anything other than the "common cold." That's the first step I would try and do
- Next get your hands on some apple cider vinegar and add it to the drinking water of all your hens – if you haven't read the article on Apple Cider Vinegar and the many benefits to it you can do so here. It's a great natural way to help keep their auto-immune system healthy and functioning.
- Check and make sure their bedding is free of excess dust, pollen, and moisture, as these can cause nasal irritation and or add to it.
- If you don't feel confident enough to wait things out to see if your hen improves or if if after a few days things are still the same then you should consider contacting a vet and ask about antibiotics and what they recommend.
A word of warning about a sneezing chicken.
In some cases, what is perceived at first as common cold could be mycoplasma gallisepticum, or a respiratory disease or virus, especially when the sneezing is accompanied by other symptoms.
So, while more often than not – it is just a common cold and your hen may be poorly for a few days ot could also be something more serious, so try not to worry but make sure you are keeping an eye of your hen and if you are concerned and or notice other symptoms then the best route is not the internet or forums but a professional vet with experience dealing with chickens.

Category is composed by an id (int) and a description (String) I want both source and target Lists to display the description String, and the selected categories set as a List of Category in my bean. Both lists are correctly loaded in the bean and the DualListModel is populated in preferredCategories. The problem is the PickList is not even rendered. Nothing happens, no error displayed, the page just stops rendering when the turns arrives to PickList, and I think it's because a wrong usage of converter. Which would be a correct way to implement my this case?

Does anyone recall, 1984 was the year for Aussie movies. We recently moved, the movers lost a box of our favorite movies. One prized movie we lost was a 1984 Australian movie about the Boar war in South Africa. For a couple days I have been trying to recall the movie's title and or actors in order to replace this incredible movie. Anyone else here see this film.
It's subject was the Brit's want out of this stalemate. A massacre occurs of Afrikaner civillians missionaries and the Brit's use Aussie soldiers to to scapegoat one of the world's first guerilla wars. The accused soldiers are executed in the end.
I have been googling movie search sites. But, without a title or list of actors, I am having no luck. I want to replace this prized movie. Can anyone help me out. Do you recall it's title. Seems it was nominated for an Oscar. thanks.

The About Food
Since I've been eating, cooking and collecting recipes for quite a while now, I do have some great ones to share with you. Put your money where your mouth is means I should already have many recipes here for you, but as of June 2011, I have "bubkas", and I don't mean those delectable chocoloate filled yeast cakes, but rather figuratively, to indicate nothing, nada zip - babkas!
I seem to be living what I not so fondly refer to as a "last minute life." 'Nuff said. But I promise, I am itching to get going on this. I have been cooking and I have been documenting the cooking via photography and the recording of recipes, so I do have material to share with you, I just need a bit of time to get it all down on - why do I want to say paper? Soon.. (Caviat: The word "soon" has become an inside joke at our house. When I say "soon", please take it with a grain of salt.. :)

Micro-SIM Card in iPad Prevents 3G Use in Canada
Thank you for visiting Cadget, a web magazine dedicated to reviewing gadgets, gear & technology from a uniquely Canadian perspective. Stay on top of your favourite tech products by subscribing to our RSS feed or receiving periodic email updates. Thanks again for visiting!
The iPad has received significant coverage and attention in the first week following its annoucement by Apple. Not all of it has been positive. Specifically, Apple's decision to use a micro-SIM card in place of a regular SIM card is raising eyebrows. Engadget explains:
While the news of Apple's iPad having 3G wasn't exactly a surprise, the move to a new format for the SIM certainly was. The SIM — that tiny card that holds your contact info and account information that you find in your GSM handset — is a 15 x 25mm plastic card whereas the new Micro SIM (also known as a 3FF SIM) is a diminutive 12 x 15mm, about 52% smaller. Needless to say, it's not physically compatible with your current phone.
iPad's Wi-Fi model should be available late March 2010 and ought to run without a problem in Canada as it is not carrier-dependent. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the 3G model as none of the major Canadian telecom providers (Rogers, Bell, Telus) offer support for the micro-SIM card. That's not to say they won't make it available in anticipation of the iPad's arrival in Canada, however it certainly is one more challenge to overcome. Certainly, switching carriers by just jailbreaking the iPad won't be possible if your target carrier doesn't support the micro-SIM.

Ranking the Top 10 Padres prospects
In compiling a list of top Padres prospects, The San Diego Union-Tribune surveyed 10 evaluators employed by major league clubs, several of them not with the Padres. The evaluators' views on a prospect's potential value as a major leaguer were valued more than his probability of reaching the majors.
At 21, Blanks was young for the Double-A Texas League yet ranked near the top in slugging percentage (.514), on-base percentage (.404) and batting average (.325) last season. He runs as well as Padres left fielder Chase Headley, but first base likely is the 6-foot-6, 270-pounder's long-term spot. With Adrian Gonzalez, 26, cheaply under contract through 2011, Blanks draws extra scrutiny from other clubs that expect the Padres to trade him within two years. Some scouts see Blanks as a Frank Thomas knockoff destined to become a mid-lineup thumper. His heft raises concerns about long-term mobility. Citing only average bat speed, some project the right-hander as an average-hitting first baseman.
He ranks here almost solely on pulse-quickening imaginations drawn from scant observation, as he turned 17 only two weeks ago and has yet to pitch for a minor league club. "Franchise" is what his fellow Padres prospects called him in the Dominican Instructional League, where his major league fastball and mound presence seemed freakishly out of place. Fending off the Phillies, Mariners and Rangers, the Padres committed $2 million to Portillo in July. He since has grown an inch to 6-4 and gained speed on his fastball. In two recent scrimmages, slack-jawed scouts watched him throw 94-mph fastballs. "I cannot say enough good things about him," Padres international director Randy Smith said.
Promising command of a mid-90s fastball, athleticism attached to a 6-5 frame and a strikeout rate of 11.5 per nine innings in 112-1/3 minor league innings make Latos a potential frontline pitcher. Immaturity issues are the blinking yellow light. They plagued him in high school, chasing at least one wealthy club in the 2007 draft and surfacing again last summer in disputes with Padres staffers. Latos is only 21. Maybe he becomes the next A.J. Burnett, a free-spirited Yankees millionaire of comparable stature and arm strength. Be sure that if he matures as hoped, he will surprise an evaluator or two.
He is too old (26) for most prospect lists, his iffy reads on in-or-back fly balls and 225-pound frame cloud his long-term future in center field, and his career .391 slugging rate argues against prosperity in left field. The former Princeton basketball star draws this ranking because his baseball skills took a big jump in 2008 and more ample progress could sculpt an everyday player: Say, a left fielder good for a solid on-base average, some 20 homers and further value both on defense and the basepaths. Sure, the Padres stockpile middling left-field prospects the way IHOP does pancakes, and "extra outfielder" is Venable's likely niche. His upside, though, intrigues some scouts and obsesses Venable, who a year ago moved near the Padres' training complex to further his workouts.
He was only 20 while batting .318 with 11 home runs last year in the Cal League against generally older competition. Hunter also sharpened his defense, tamping skepticism that his lack of great speed would push him to an outfield corner. A left-handed bat that produced a league-high 186 hits last season, plus a career .374 on-base percentage could put him in a Padres uniform by late 2010. A line-drive hitter, the Atlanta product is unlikely to hit for much power for the Padres unless Petco Park is downsized. Hunter's path to major league security will be the ability to get on base and play a solid center field.

Sometimes you'll find that you get caught up in training and obsessed with data or results or the next race. Whatever your obsession is in Triathlon – and we all have them – I've found that one of the most important aspects of Triathlon is to focus on the journey.
I was quite inspired recently by a friend of mine who was getting a bit down about an injury affecting his training. He was telling me how he went to the doctor who informed him that he had developed tendinitis in his foot. As a result he would need to go for gait analysis, and physiotherapy to help it heal. This would obviously put his training on hold and with an important race coming up in the coming months he became quite discouraged.
To quickly explain, in gait analysis, Biokineticists connect a bunch of different sensors to different parts of your body and then film you with special cameras while you walk and run. What the doctors then do is analyze performance and under-performance of various muscles. They identify imbalances in each leg / foot and the alignment of your spine, shoulders and hips and show you what you need to change to become more efficient in your running.
As he was telling me all this, I had an interesting epiphany. Gait analysis is awesome! It's something that age-group athletes generally only get done when they're injured, but it's also something that pros get done when they are trying to maximize their running technique and speed.
I told my buddy this and it helped put things in perspective for him so I wanted to do that for you as well. In Triathlon, there may be times where life gets in the way of training or you get injured and have to take some time off, but you need to remember just to focus on the journey and learn as much as possible.
Here are some quick tips on staying focused on the journey:
- Focus on the positives
Whatever you are going through, try to remember to be positive about it. If you have to stay late for work and miss a training session, think of it as a time to get a little extra rest and recovery than you might have otherwise gotten in your week.
- Remember to keep learning
If you have to get some diagnostic analysis done like my friend, try to learn from it. If you've injured a muscle, take it as an opportunity to learn about that muscle group and about all the rehabilitative and preventative exercises you can do. There really is a lot to learn in our sport and who has time to learn everything there is to know before getting started?
- Remember that your journey is unique
Every experience we go through in our lives and training makes our journey unique to us. We always hear incredible stories of difficulties that Olympic athletes have overcome and wonder how they did it, well, they were focusing on their journey! Yours is different, embrace that!
- Triathlon is not just a one day sport
Don't forget that you are not just a triathlete on the day you compete in a triathlon. You are a triathlete every day. Your journey and story as a triathlete is about training, being healthy, and being happy. Triathlon is a lifestyle, not just a sport.
As I told my friend, being a triathlete is such a journey and there are hundreds of experiences along the way. Remember to enjoy every minute of it and try to see things in a positive light. You will enjoy it way more!
Have you had any experiences like my friend? Have you been injured and made it through by focusing on your journey? Tell us about it!

Forget the currency or the country. How do you expect a key member of a nationalist party - one that promises bullet trains and foreign investments -- to respond to a question on the future course of the currency if they are voted to power?
Belonging to a political party, known for its categorical, often blunt, and unambiguous statements, the person is unlikely to either remain silent or say "it would be a function of market forces". Having been out of power for a decade, it may not strike the party functionary to come out with the staid, more politically correct line: "it's the prerogative of the Reserve Bank of India." To him, the only direction the rupee can move after May 16 is north.

rippadonn replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersThe more talent you throw at the problem the more competition in camp and all of a sudden a perceived weakness becomes a strength. You've got your young guys, great, but bring in veterans to compete for starting CB. Is this guy better than any of the veterans we have? Yes. Does he want Josh Norman money? Probably not. You love your young guys but can they start day one? NO!!! It's the NFL and guys like Drew Brees will make them look like just what they are... Rookies

Top Roster Questions at each position
rippadonn replied to bLACKpANTHER's topic in Charlotte HornetsThe market for Whiteside will be huge. It would take some real love for home to overcome all the money they're going to throw at the guy. Noah? Not sure if he is coming here. Drummond? Should have drafted him. He's about to get a max deal in Detroit so... Howard? All this money for what, exactly? He would fit the system very well but is he worth what he will be asking? If he can no longer dominate, no Center is the hardest job to fill. The championship Bulls solution was to make a three headed center rotation. The Hornets may likely have to do the same by adding a defensive and rebounding center to compliment Kody and Frank.

Keep Kody and Frank and add Biz, you've got defense and offense at C and the locker room rejoices. Your welcome

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is busy shooting Ayan Mukerji's "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani"(YJHD), admitted that he doesn't have any problem sharing the screen space with ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone in the film.
"Deepika and I have moved on as individuals and as actors," Ranbir said in a statement.
The film features Ranbir and Deepika in the lead roles. Kalki Koechlin also plays a pivotal role in the film.
Ranbir, who was last seen with Deepika in "Bachna Ae Haseeno", finds her completely "passionate and ambitious".
"When you come across someone who is as motivated as you are, the experience of working together is terrific. I share a deep comfort level with her. I don't feel awkward with her. We are all professionals," said the 30-year-old.
Talking about his character in YJHD, he says the character will strike to today's youth.
"In YJHD, I've found myself. It deals with the relationship, heartbreak and ambition of four people. All my films have had a strong romantic tale underneath. This is the story of a guy who grows up from a 21-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man. It's an urban film with characters that are closer to today's youth," said Ranbir.
