Jorma Partinen
Jorma Partinen writes: "After Columbia Business School, I worked for IBM in a number of different countries -- Finland, France, Belgium, and the United States. I retired from salaried work in 1995 from IBMs European Headquarters where I was a senior executive in the European Management Team. My activities since have been involved with improving competitive strategy of various companies, mainly in information technology industries. Many times these assignments involved board memberships and/or long-term retainers as a sparring partner for the owner(s) of small businesses. Since Columbia, I tasted living in different countries. My home country is Finland, and currently we spend summers there on the seaside in an environment similar to the lake regions of the United States or Quebec. My wife is French but she learned to speak Finnish also. As she is French it is natural that our city life and residence is in our preferred city, Paris. There we spend much of the fall and spring. I also like to hunt (deer, wild boar, elk, etc.) and France offers good possibilities for that. Not to mention my hobby of fine wine collecting and tasting. From time to time this is shared with a small number of Business School Alumni, including Bernard Lindt '65 and Seppo Saario '65. In the winters, we tend to be in Meribel, Savoie, one of the best skiing areas in Europe. I take a Season Pass and that way I can ski as much and when I want using our apartment there as a base. As for classmates, I met Kanju Sugimoto from Japan at the Pan-European Reunion of 2003 in Berlin. I am looking forward to the coming reunion this April. I hope to meet some of you again on that occasion. email@example.com."

DIY: Building a Mini (220mm) Quadcopter Part 4 – The Battery
(This is part of a multi-part series on building a FPV mini 220mm quadcopter)
You need batteries to fly a quadcopter. The battery we selected will be used to power the receiver, flight controller, the OSD, FPV video camera/transmitter and to power the four motors that spin the propellers and give the quadcopter the lift it needs. As you can see, the battery is very important and also adds the most weight per single item. We've selected the Turnigy nano-tech 1500mah 3S 35~70C Lipo Pack to power our copter.
This nano-tech battery uses lithium polymer chemistry and are built with an LiCo nano-technology substrate that improves power transfer making the oxidation/reduction reaction more efficient. That means less voltage sag and a higher discharge rate than a similar density lithium polymer battery.
When sourcing a battery, Steve liked and suggested the need for the "70C Burst" capabilities. Two of these batteries were ordered, only one on the copter at a time — just gives more flying time. He suggested minimum three batteries on hand…
Capacity: 1500mAh
Voltage: 3S1P / 3 Cell / 11.1V
Discharge: 35C Constant / 70C Burst
Weight: 129g (including wire, plug & case)
Dimensions: 88x34x21mm
Balance Plug: JST-XH
Discharge Plug: XT60
Also ordered some XT60 male connectors with silicon leads, need only one but they come in a 5 pack.
Weight: 130g
Total Weight So Far: 144.8g
Part Cost: $38.01
Total Spent So Far: $143.24
Both parts are available for purchase from Hobby King

After Kickstarter's Meaghan O'Connell heard the news that I'm publishing my first full-length novel with Farrar, Straus & Giroux, she emailed to ask about the connection to Kickstarter. Back in 2009, I published a book with help from about 600 backers here, so Meaghan wondered: What's the connection between that book and this one? Did the Kickstarter project help you get published?
The answer is: Yes, it did, and yes, there is a vital connection — but it's not what you think it is.
One thing you get from a Kickstarter project is, of course, money. You get it straight from your backers, some of whom you know, some of whom you don't. But, in a certain kind of project, you realize very quickly that they are paying not primarily for whatever rewards you've cooked up, but rather for the experience of being a patron and watching you succeed. (I speak here as both a project maker and a project backer.)
This was important to me in the simple sense that, because I could raise some money on Kickstarter, I was able to invest some time and print some books and produce something bigger and richer than a short story.
But money is definitely not the connection between my Kickstarter project and this new one with FSG.
Another thing you get from a Kickstarter project is a posse. Very practically, this means an extremely qualified email list, which is a pretty valuable thing to have. More broadly it means a tangible group of allies—maybe a couple dozen people, maybe a few hundred — that you can call on for help in the future. I've written about the power of this posse in the context of my new book.
This was important because, as I shopped my new book around to publishers, I could point to my Kickstarter backers and say: Hey, trust me, at least 600 people will buy my book. That's more than Snooki!
But I have to be honest: this was nice, but not crucial. It was the icing, not the cake. So the posse's not the connection, either.
So like, hold on — did this Kickstarter project even help me get published at all?
Yes, and here's how.
The most important thing I got from Kickstarter was declaration and validation.
Now listen: for other folks, this might not even be an issue. Maybe some people can say Yo I'm a writer from day one—like, you crank out that first short story, freshman year, and BOOM you just feel it in your bones. That wasn't me. Yes, I was writing, and yes, I wanted to write more, but I didn't feel like a writer. I felt wishful, dreamy, and vaguely fraudulent. Even at the moment I pressed LAUNCH on my Kickstarter project, I didn't feel like a writer.
But then, about two weeks, 300 backers, and 4,000 words later, something changed.
A successful Kickstarter project has, I think, two parts. First, there's declaration, the part where you're forced to say, out in public—there's no such thing as a private Kickstarter project!—you're forced to say very clearly: This is what I am, and this is what I want to do. Then, there's validation, the part where it flips around and your posse replies, in unison, and again out in public: Yep, sounds about right.
And that's when you feel like a writer.
So for me, it's declaration and validation that constitute the connection between Kickstarter pages and bookstore shelves. Without them, I would at this moment still not feel like a writer (ugh) and I would definitely not have been able to take seriously the notion of
a) meeting with agents,
b) working up real ideas for real novels,
c) committing to one of them, and then
d) writing Mr. Penumbra, at my kitchen table, over the course of a year, alone, without the real-time psycho-social support (!) of a Kickstarter project...
...all of which was necessary for me to arrive here, today, and to be working with a super-smart editor on what will be an awesome book that people will find in beautiful bookstores.
Now: there are, and have been, other ways to rig up declaration and validation. Writers since Erasmus have found ways to do it. And I think declaration, in particular, just comes more easily to some people.
But for me, Kickstarter was vital. Kickstarter was the essential machine—think Tesla coils, think blue sparks, think IT'S ALIVE. Forget the money, forget the email list. It was declaration and validation that gave me the oomph to stumble past the Kickstarter project itself, write a full-length novel, and get it picked up by a publisher.
So, in closing: I recommend the Kickstarter machine to you, especially if you are feeling wishful, dreamy, and/or vaguely fraudulent in your own endeavors. This thing is powerful.
And maybe I'll see you in the 24-hour bookstore.

For those of you who have seen the news about the protests and state of emergency in Bangkok - don't worry! We flew home yesterday and are safe and sound!
We had a bit of a scary moment on Sunday afternoon driving back into Bangkok when we heard the state of emergency had been declared and that they were ordering the army in, complete with tanks! The back entrance to our hotel was blocked and we had to go the "long" way round to get back.
We did have to pass a small area of protesters and tanks! but we stayed put in the hotel after that and left first thing yesterday. Got home at midnight last night so this is the first chance I've had to post!

Not one of them prefab-ed numbers but still relatively quick and easy to make.
Warm potato salad -> Make the lemon vinaigrette first up (lemon juice + zest, seeded mustard, a good olive oil & seasoning) + finely-chop some herbs (I used chives, parsley and tarragon) + baby capers, drained and finely-chopped + Spanish onions + blanched beans + steamed or boiled potatoes (quickly drain when done, pop into a mixing boil, pour dressing on, toss and take in a big fat whiff of the fragrance of the olive oil and lemon zest generated by the heat in the spuds) + salt flakes & cracked black pepper.
The fish -> I timed it so that it's cooked when the potato salad is ready. I like my salmon very charred on the outside and still rare on the inside so a quick few minutes in a very hot pan is all it needs. Warm salad + hot off-the-pan fish = how it should arrive at the table. A capers beurre noisette drizzled over the fish would be good too but having just been to see my Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor/naturopath that morning, I felt kind of naughty adding butter to what was quite a clean and healthy meal. Hee.
Eaten while watching an episode of the new season of Revenge. So trashy but so good! It's like the Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest of the 2000s. With better art direction and cinematography (well, as good as they can be in a TV series). Haha. The Revenge ladies' wardrobes are boring compared to the OOMPH-ity numbers the Carrington ladies wore in the 80s but the boys' clothes had me going "Ooooh...I want that, that and that!", especially Nolan's colourful preppy outfits. So, is anyone else hooked on Revenge? Or is it just me that's happy to re-live my 80s soap addiction?

How does the EU assess the safety of GM crops, food and feed?
All GM plants used for food or food ingredients, feed, fibre and fuel must undergo a rigorous review of their safety as part of the authorisation procedure before they can be put on the market. In the EU, this task is carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), whose panel of independent scientific experts cooperates closely with national authorities on food safety. Only products that have been deemed safe are allowed to reach the market. The safety of GM crops is deemed on two levels: the way they are produced and their specific new characteristics resulting from genetic modification. The goal is to ensure that the GM product is safe and does not harm humans, animals or the environment.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Increasingly, getting laid off (or worse, fired) seems to be part of life. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone among your acquaintance who hasn't, at some point, found themselves unexpectedly unemployed. Still, better to have a plan of attack than to rely on "misery loves company."
(Photo Credit: winnond/Flickr)
The First Day
The day you find out you're no longer employed, your head will be swimming. Before you stagger out with your cardboard box, get your head together, and do the following:
1. Check to see what you're entitled to from your employer.
Alison Doyle at About.com's Job Searching site reminds us that we're often entitled to severance pay, vacation pay, continued benefits (for a short period of time), and so on, when we're terminated. These things, unlike unemployment benefits, are entirely within your former employer's control. In other words, if they don't want to give it to you and there's no policy in place, you won't get them. But you still need to know what's going on with your retirement benefits and health insurance, so connect with HR as soon as possible, anyway.
2. Find out where you stand with regards to unemployment insurance.
Will the company contest your right to claim it? If you've been laid off, you're probably in the clear. Still, it's a good idea to check in with HR to make sure.
3. Don't sign anything right away.
Especially if you've been laid off, you'll probably be presented with a termination agreement. Don't sign anything the day you get the pink slip. Even if you're not inclined to have a lawyer look things over, you'll still want to be in your best possible mental space when you sign this or any legal document.
The First Week
1. File for unemployment.
Yes, even if you were fired or quit or your company says you're not entitled to it. It takes at least a week to collect a check, so do this as soon as possible.
2. Update your resume and social media profiles.
Even if you can't bring yourself to begin looking for jobs in earnest, getting these things sorted out will put in you a better spot when you're ready. Remember that you're not obligated to indicate that you were let go on any of these. Unless you're filling out an application, and they ask you why you left, you're at perfect liberty not to disclose the reasons you left.
3. Start networking.
Don't send a mass email to everyone you know, but do start connecting with folks you haven't seen for a while, especially in your industry. Now's a good time to meet people for coffee to see what they're up to, work-wise. At the very least, it'll keep you occupied and moving forward.
The First Month
1. Begin applying for jobs.
Keep track of your applications, especially if you're collecting unemployment. Most people are unemployed for weeks to months before they find a new job, and you'll start to get hazy on the details if you don't write things down. Tracking applications also prevents you from applying for three different jobs at the same place, or the same job more than once.
2. Keep your chin up.
It's easy to get depressed when you're looking for a job. It's a lot of work, and involves a lot of potential for rejection -- not to mention the financial stress. Make sure you're taking care of yourself while you're taking care of your career. Get rest and exercise, and see your friends. Avoid spending too much time sitting on the couch eating snacks and feeling sorry for yourself. While a few hours of that can be therapeutic, too much of it will make you feel worse.
3. Tweak your resume.
Tailor your CV to jobs you're applying for, and have friends review it, not only for accuracy and typos, but for the general impression it gives them. Would they hire you, based on this? Don't be afraid to mix up your resume and try different formats. After a few years at the same job, most of us let our resumes grow stagnant. A change might help show off your skills and accomplishments.

"A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe."
-Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me
"Do you remember the hospital, Colton?" Sonja said. "Yes, mommy, I remember," he said. "That's where the angels sang to me."
When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed-a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.
Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery-and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.
With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, "Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses."
Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.

Currently, [[Special:ProtectedPages]] gives the option to choose semi and full levels for edit-protections or move-protections. But it doesn't allow to list pages that are semi-edit-protected and fully-move-protected, or fully-edit-protected and semi-move-protected.
It would be useful to have those options for maintenance (e.g., to make sure no pages are in the second case) and certain analysis purposes.
So the move and edit permissions should be separated, the interface could be changed to something like Namespace:[all, (article), ...] Edit restriction level: [none,semi,full] Move restriction level:[none,semi,full]. Default would be none, so it wouldn't show any page initially, and couldn't show pages to semi or full levels in the same time, which hasn't much interest anyway.

 I am currently reinventing the project and am in need of help from a modeler. The idea is fairly simple... This counter is similar to what is used with Heroclicks. It's 2 pieces that are separate that will snap together to make one piece. You turn the top dial to show in the window a number (1-20) or if its possible to show numbers 1-30.

 I would also like to have the card fighters project logo on it if possible.

 If you are interested and think that you could tackle this please respond here.

 Sorry I am away for the holiday so I don't have access to my computer so I drew a quick image to help explain what I'm looking for.

Cape schools back in actionAbout 5,000 students begin school year today
School children and buses return as another school year begins.
"Some schools had their open houses this week, and everyone is ready to rock and roll," said Cathy Petitgout, human resources director for the district.
There will be a renewed emphasis on writing this year as the district prepares for statewide writing tests. This includes summarizing texts and other reading sources and developing the writing process, Petitgout said.
Many teachers have participated in professional development throughout the summer bringing them up to speed with the Common Core initiatives. Petitgout said the district hired 27 new professional staff members and 54 support staff for the school year. A districtwide staff meeting Aug. 28 recognized the building Teacher's of the Year, and gave school board and district officials a chance to greet district employees, she said.
"It's the one time of the year that the whole staff gets together," Petitgout said.
Student enrollment is 5,030 and district officials expect more to enroll before the Sept. 30 student enrollment count. Last year's Sept. 30 count was 4,938, Petitgout said.
Start time for district schools varies. Approximate start and finish times are as follows: Shields Elementary School 8:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.; H.O. Brittingham and Milton elementaries 7:20 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.; Rehoboth Elementary 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.; Beacon Middle School 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Mariner Middle School 7:55 a.m. to 2:55 p.m.; and Cape Henlopen High School 7:55 a.m. to 2:55 p.m.

Aging, inevitably, comes with its cosmetic signposts: wrinkles, creases, crow's-feet, dark eye patches, uneven tone and texture, dryness, and all the other "joys" of mature skin. These aren't always easy to treat, but if they bother you, it's a problem to be rigorously addressed. The L'Occitane Immortelle line, named for a Corsican wildflower bearing an age-defying essential oil, offers products that nourish and rejuvenate your skin while warding against some of these common maladies. If you're interested in learning more, check out the L'Occitane Immortelle Reviews, where we here at SkinStore.com have gathered together feedback on the brand's specific offerings from customers who've tried the treatments.
We hope you'll incorporate the L'Occitane Immortelle Reviews into your research on these products. Getting some perspective directly from those with empirical experience with these formulations can help steer you to one or another, and gives you the chance to imagine them incorporated into our own private skincare regimen.
Seek out the L'Occitane Immortelle Reviews by finding the clearly labeled links on the line's SkinStore.com overview page or individual profiles of products. If you end up trying out the L'Occitane Immortelle experience, write up your own review and post it alongside the others.
There's a whole suite of innovative products under the L'Occitane Immortelle umbrella, all devoted to bringing out the very best look and feel to your complexion.

It all adds up to an excellent aid to your search for a high-quality anti-aging treatment.
We hope you enjoy browsing through the L'Occitane Immortelle Reviews, and we know others will enjoy reading any reflections you might produce once you end up trying one of the treatments for yourself.

The property is owned by a prominent South African photographer, and it oozes style and class throughout; from the tasteful art on the walls (primarily the owner's own work) through to the thoughtful details.
The main living area is the open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen with an adjoining balcony.
The lounge is large, and has plenty of relaxing space on its sleek leather couches. It looks out directly onto the Atlantic and Robben Island beyond. It is has a large plasma screen television and a full suite of close to 100 satellite channels.
The kitchen is fully appointed with your every need seen to; oven, hob, microwave and dishwasher are all available, and the washing machine and tumble dryer are hidden away in a laundry cupboard.
The kitchen open's up onto the balcony via fully stackable concertina doors, so on a warm summer's night you feel as though you are on a boat; cooking with the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and the smell of sea in the room.
The balcony is generous, and the perfect spot to unwind for a few hours. Atlantic Vistas looks directly onto Cape Town harbor's primary shipping lane, so you can unwind for hours watching as ships from every corner of the globe sail into and out of the harbor.
The bedrooms are both located at the back of the apartment. Both have ample cupboard space, and both are tastefully furnished and have beautiful photographs adorning the walls.
The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bath and a fully separate shower. The second bedroom has a fully separate bathroom which also doubles as the guest toilet.
Atlantic Vistas is a combination of contemporary and tasteful design, a fantastic location and fantastic value; a perfect base for your Cape Town vacation.

Wonderful Apartment, we had a 3 days stay and were amazed!! Popular and good environment; great contact to Karen (the response time was so short)! Thank you for this nice stay in a really luxury residential complex of South Africa. We will come back! :-)
Everything has worked out perfectly. The accommodation was as described and we have
felt very comfortable. The views of the beach was fantastic.
Alles hat wunderbar geklappt. Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben und wir haben
uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Aussicht über den Strand war traumhaft.
Great apartment in a great location. The 5 stars are justified. Only the address overwhelmed an average Navi.

introducing the roller skate dress + tunic sewing pattern
Today I start introducing our new Spring-Summer 2013 patterns. These new styles should be available on our website by March 5 and at your local retailers around the world shortly thereafter. So without further ado, let me introduce you to the Roller Skate Dress + Tunic.
This season I thought we could all use a dress pattern that would be like a blank canvas. You know what I mean: a dress that you can make over and over again and still have lots of fun making and customizing. I wanted it to be a dress with really simple lines, not a lot of seams, and still enough interest that it could stand on its own as a great design that could be made many times and never get boring.
The idea here is that this dress is simple enough that it can support really bold prints, can be embellished in all sorts of ways, can be made for everyday use as well as for dressier occasions, and will be a staple pattern that you'll reach for time and again. I'm really pleased with the results and hope that you'll love it too.
This pattern is, for all intents and purposes, just two pieces. But it's also a fully lined dress! Remember the Bubble Dress? This has the same built-in cap sleeve style that you like so much. So there's no sleeve to set in or attach. And no buttonhole! We've designed the dress with an on-seam opening at the back and a button loop, so you won't need to deal with any complicated closures. (Although I know you've getting really good at buttonholes and zippers. We've been thrilled at your response to those patterns and everything you tell us you're learning from them.) It also has an enclosed elasticized empire waist, so it really is just as straightforward a dress as can be.
Of course simple and straightforward is great, but what about the fun part? Well, my favorite part of this dress is the optional yoke (View B) that makes a really sweet neckline and gives you a chance to use a contrast fabric. The yoke is really easy to sew using our method. And we've included a cut line so you can make both versions of the the dress as a tunic, too.
So we've already included four different looks in the envelope. But with just a few small changes you'll find all sorts of options. You could easily lower the elastic casing for the empire waist for a different look. And if you cut the lining and the outside fabric the same length, the dress could very easily be reversible, so there's a big option right there, for those of you who love reversible.
Of course, we didn't let it stand there. You know you can embellish your sewing a million different ways, right? In a few days I'll show you how to make this version of the dress with little houses appliqued at the hem. I've been working up a template so you can reproduce this yourself, but I'll also talk you through the process so you can design your own applique. We've just started carrying a couple of products that will make it really easy.
We rated this pattern two scissors, but it's an easy two scissors. I'm really excited to see what you do with this pattern, and I suspect you'll be using it a lot. I know I am.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for designing this pattern! It's a silhouette that's very similar to a lot of the RTW dresses my oldest likes so I'll be able to use this for all of my girls. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
This is just great, Liesl!!! I can see all the advantages to this pattern as I read your introduction. Just what every busy sewist needs – a pattern that works with many different kinds of fabric, and is easy to make. Thank you, dear genius.
Love love love it. Perfect simple shape. The last one with the houses – REALLY love!
HOLY CUTENESS! I love this! Cannot wait!!!
I have to admit that it was the "bubble dress" reference that got my attention first. I love that pattern (cap sleeves, of course) but unfortunately my daughter is out of its size range.
This will definitely become a basic pattern when sewing for girls and I'm pretty sure it will be a must-have addition to my pattern collection 🙂
PS. Can't wait to know more about the cute applique. Looks wonderful.
xx, Ana Sofia
I usually take a few weeks to warm up to a new pattern. I wish I could start on this one today!! Just what I've been looking for! Thanks!
I love it! We will use this a lot.
Yay!! Love this one – lots of options, basic but very cute, easy to throw on, and a quick sew!! 🙂
YES! Can't wait to try. So cute.
It is simply adorable! Love the cap sleeves, and the possibility to play around with this pattern to really make it our own, or just leave it like that and still get the cutest dress. Thanks Liesl and the team for another wonderful Oliver+s pattern!
I LOVE this! Thank you so much! Waiting on pins and needles until March!
oh that house version is genius! Can't wait to get started Liesl 🙂
Liesl, it's beautiful!! I showed it to my 3-yr-old who said, "You can make it for your girls!" 😉 I can't wait.
So perfect! So many possibilities, and the applique is to die for! March cannot come soon enough!
Oh, I love it!!! And I love to appliqué. Perfect for my three girls(the bubble dress is one of my go to patterns). Can't wait to see the rest!!
I'm just in the mood for some simple projects right now and this is ideal! It's a little like a modern take on a peasant dress, isn't it? Which is versatile and classic. I can see this layered in colder weather too, just as the Ice Cream dress looks nice layered. I look forward to this and the others.
oh, I seriously love this! it's perfect. I can't wait until Match 1 so I can get my hands on it. (Happy dance!)
LOVE this one! What a great pattern for Spring for my girls!
I love everything about that version at the top. Can't wait.
yes!!! what a great, simple, fun design. i can see myself making this again and again…so many possibilities!
Love, love, LOVE! I can see myself making this many, many times.
This is such a cute dress– can you make a matching pattern in misses sizing? I would love to make it for myself!!
LOVE this so much!! Another beautiful pattern, Liesl!
I love it!
I have fabric chosen for Matilda,I hope I make it by her birthday….
I can just see this becoming a fast favourite in out house! Yet another fantastic pattern Liesl!
Love this and can't wait to get hold of the pattern!
I'm on the bandwagon too! So many possibilities!
What a great dress/tunic sewing pattern. This style will be perfect for many different prints of fabric. Looking forward to ordering. Thank you, Liesl.
You've talked me into it. I only have boys, but this one sounds like it would be great to stitch up as a gift for my nieces and friends.
This looks terrific! What sizes will be available? I'll also put in another plug for reissuing the larger size bubble dress pattern (up to 10-12). Please, oh please?? I've graded the one I have, but my daughter keeps growing!
I love it! I hope it will be available in digital form too. I am looking forward to seeing the full spring line of new patterns. I have had great success in making school uniforms and weekend dress from Oliver and S patterns. I would like a few more styles. I also desire some more boy patterns. My son gets jealous of his little sister.
Anyway, great job with the pattern.
Liesl, this is so beautiful – what a lovely style for so many different occasions. I can't wait to make it for my girls – I love the capped sleeves and the two neckline options – just fantastic in every way!
Oh so cute and so many possibilities! Love all the versions, but the fabric of the first one is stunning. Love that house one too!
hello will this lovely pattern be available in digital format?
Love this pattern and will be purchasing it shortly. Can you please tell me the name of the fabric you used in the top photo? My daughter loves it and would lie me to use it for a dress for my granddaughter.
Ooh, my daughter just told me yesterday that a Mood fabric has opened just down the street from her in LA:) I will tell her to check there. Thanks!
I'm a grown-up, but would really, really love to buy this pattern in my size. I think it's a really lovely dress and also seems like it could be quilting weight cotton friendly – something quite rare.

In scala, how do I define addition over two Option arguments? Just to be specific, let's say they're wrappers for
Int types (I'm actually working with maps of doubles but this example is simpler).
I tried the following but it just gives me an error:
def addOpt(a:Option[Int], b:Option[Int]) = {
a match {
case Some(x) => x.get
case None => 0
} + b match {
case Some(y) => y.get
case None => 0
Edited to add:
In my actual problem, I'm adding two maps which are standins for sparse vectors. So the None case returns Map[Int, Double] and the + is actually a ++ (with the tweak at stackoverflow.com/a/7080321/614684)

O summer... Celebrate with us the sweet joys of fruits and the luscious crunch of vegetables.
A plum's skin is tart and a little rough, yet its flesh is sweet, soft, and juicy. When you cook plums, something magical happens. The sweetness of the flesh, tartness of the skin, and spectrum of colors come together in harmony. To select, feel for plums that yield slightly to the touch; but don't squeeze them. Let the fruit sit in your palm. It should give a little. If you buy firmer fruit, though, don't put it in the refrigerator or the kitchen window—put it in a paper bag in a dark place for a day or two. After the plum is picked, the sugar level remains the same, but the acidity falls, so it only seems sweeter.

The type of attitudes that the local motorist are exhibiting this past week, having a very healthy budget cycling budget, thanks to a reduced motor vehicle budget, a couple of video cams are definitely on the commuting horizon. Lots of good info on this thread.
On a positive note, I have had very few negative interactions. But I also rode a motorcycle for 12 years without ever dropping a bike and never stopped being paranoid about getting smashed. It might be the reason that I never dropped a bike.
Over 20 years on a motorcycle here, the road surface and I have met intimately on several occasions during that time frame, none due to collisions, but road hazards left by motor vehicles.
The cameras for the bike are mainly for that one particular overly aggressive motorist, whoever that may be, that I'm not able to get out of the way of in time. I'm hoping that all this aggressive attitudes by local motorists is only fueled by the heated elections that we recently had, a week or so before that it was fairly mellow going.
Here's a 2:45 minute movie I made with a regular type Canon Sd 960.
Using a simple mount
and a VirtualDub filter called the deshaker to smooth out the video.
The menu claim's I can get another hour of 640*480 with 45 minutes already used on board or 31 minutes of 1280*720. This with a 8 gig sd card.

Juliet(te): I have always particularly disliked this name, along with Ophelia. Sorry, but they're names from Shakespeare's TRAGEDIES. "Romeo and Juliet" is generally required reading in high school, so I think it's an association most people will make. I would either put this as a mn or else go with a different variation, like Juliana.
Cora- I like Cora, although I have a bad association with it. Have you considered Corrine, Coralie, or Coraline?
Anne- I have a friend named Anne, and I've always loved her name. It is a timeless name that matures well. It's not over-the-top by any means, and has few to no negative associations.
Annabel- I actually don't like it as much as Anne. I see it as more trendy, and less sophisticated. Simply put, when she's a 35 year old lawyer, which will fit better... Anne or Annabel?
Elsa- This feels too old to me... not sure why, though.

The weather report looked pretty dismal for Northern VA this weekend, and I just needed a nice long warm ride, so I decided to make a road trip. I started checking the weather forecasts on the web by going further and further south to locations I knew something about. Finally I settled on Wilmington, NC, about a 400 mile drive from here. I had worked there for a couple of years in the early 90's, but had never biked there, so I decided it was time for a Road Trip! I left the house about 2:30am and was on the bike by 9:00am.
The weather was gorgeous. Mid-60s, sunny, but a bit windy, but I would take it. Please forgive these lame pictures, but it was the first time I'd carried the camera on the bike. Most of the pics were taken while on the bike, so the composition is a bit lacking.
Also I have to say this. No offense to Wilmingtonians, but I would hate to have to ride there exclusively. The area is low, flat, and swampy. There might be some nice rideable country roads, but I wasn't able to find them.
Here's what the start looked like:
I started at the Porters Neck area. I don't have any pics of this, but it was a nice loopy residential ride for about five miles. Unfortunately I got majorly lost and spent a bunch of time on Rt 17 going the wrong way. Rt 17 is for all practical purposes like riding on an Interstate highway. I decided to bag it, and drive to another part of the route starting in Castle Hayne, which I knew how to find
Soon I was looking at a LOT of this:

I have a bunch more, but I'll spare you

[College of Engineering]
GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTSThe information on general requirements that apply to engineering students is presented in alphabetical order.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT AND/OR CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONSee "Admissions," p. 13 of this catalog.
AUDITING COURSESA student enrolling in a course as an auditor must satisfy the same corequisites and prerequisites required of students taking the course for credit.
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTSTo fulfill the requirements for a baccalaureate degree awarded by the College of Engineering, a student must do the following: (a) successfully complete all courses specified in one of the degree programs; (b) complete on this campus at least one-half of the work required within the engineering discipline of the degree (i.e., AE courses for a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, CE courses for a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, etc.); (c) earn at least a "C" average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) for all work attempted; (d) earn at least a "C" average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) for all work attempted on this campus; (e) earn at least a "C" average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) for all work attempted in his or her professional courses; (f) earn at least a "C" average (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) for all work attempted in his or her professional courses on this campus; (g) present evidence that the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination has been taken; and (h) meet all additional academic requirements of the department offering the degree. Computer science majors are exempt from item (g).
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE, SECONDA student with a baccalaureate degree may earn a second baccalaureate degree, provided that all requirements for the second degree are met and that at least 32 semester hours applied to the second degree were not applied to the first degree. A student awarded a baccalaureate degree from another division of The University of Alabama who is seeking a second baccalaureate degree in the College of Engineering must comply with all policies and procedures described under "Student Responsibility" (p. 191). A student may simultaneously receive two baccalaureate degrees from the College of Engineering, provided that all requirements for both degrees are met and that at least 32 semester hours applied to one degree are not used to complete requirements of the other degree. Also see "Second Baccalaureate Degree" on p. 26 of this catalog.
CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT AT ANOTHER INSTITUTIONIn order to transfer credit that was earned at another institution while the student was also enrolled at The University of Alabama, approval of the transfer credit must be secured from the Engineering Student Services office prior to enrolling at the other institution. Such transfer credit is subject to the following provisions:
- The student may not be on academic probation.
- The sum of the credit hours at both institutions may not exceed the maximum course-hour load permitted at the University.
COREQUISITES AND PREREQUISITESThe College of Engineering interprets a corequisite as a course that may be taken either prior to or concurrently with the course it serves as a corequisite. A prerequisite is interpreted as a course that must be taken prior to the course for which it serves as a prerequisite.
CORRESPONDENCE CREDITAll engineering students must secure approval from the director of Engineering Student Services in order to take courses by correspondence; approval must be obtained prior to enrollment. The following are criteria for approval:
- Normally, approval is granted only if the student is not currently enrolled.
- Normally, approval is granted only if the student has at least a "C" average at The University of Alabama and at least a "C" average overall.
- The course taken by correspondence must be completed and a grade must be recorded prior to the beginning of the next term in residence.
- Approval will not be granted to take a course in which the student has previously received a grade of "D" or "F."
COURSE-HOUR LOADSee "Student Records and General Academic Policies," p. 19 in this catalog.
DEGREE, APPLICATION FORAn application for degree should be filed with the head of the department of the student's degree program one semester prior to the semester of graduation (see "Graduation" on p. 25-26).
DEGREE REQUIREMENTSThe College of Engineering reserves the right to modify its curricula and specific courses of instruction, to alter the requirements for graduation, and to change the degrees to be awarded at any time the College determines such action is appropriate. Such changes are applicable to both prospective and matriculated students.
ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVE TO THE STATEWIDE GENERAL STUDIES CURRICULUMAct 94-202, enacted by the Alabama legislature in 1994, provided equivalency for first- and second-year courses taught by colleges in the state of Alabama. In 1995, engineering educators presented an engineering alternative to the general studies curriculum (GSC) that modified the Act to specific needs of engineering colleges statewide. The engineering alternative was unanimously approved by the statewide Articulation and General Studies Committee in December 1995 and was made a part of GSC. The engineering alternative is shown in the chart below. See also the "College of Engineering Core Curriculum/General Education Requirements" listed on p. 25 of this catalog. Any student transferring to the University of Alabama College of Engineering from any institution in the state of Alabama should consult the transfer auditor in the Office of Engineering Student Services, Box 870200, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0200; (205) 348-1600 or toll-free 1-800-369-ENGR.
General Studies Requirements for Engineering1
1100- and 200-level courses only.
2The first number in each box represents the number of courses in the designated subject area that a student at a two-year school should take to satisfy the subject area requirement at any four-year school that offers a degree in the program under which the number appears. The bracketed numbers represent the range of semester credit hours currently required at the engineering coleges offering the major under which the bracket appears. The formula used to convert from quarter hours to semester hours is 3 quarter hours=2 semester hours.
3Engineering disciplines are abbreviated as follows: AEM=aerospace engineering and mechanics; CHE=chemlcal engineering; CE=civil engineering; CS=computer science; CEO=computer engineering option: ECE=electrlcal engineering; IE=industrial engineering; ME=mechanlcal engineering; MTE=metallurglcal engineering.

ENGLISH AND FRESHMAN COMPOSITIONThe requirements for native speakers of English are as follows: First-semester freshmen and first-semester transfer students must enroll for the appropriate composition course (EN 101, EN 102, or EN 103) based on placement tests or transferred credit. They must then be continuously enrolled in composition courses until 6 hours of credit in composition are earned. Students placed in EN 103 who complete EN 103 with grades of "C" or higher also receive 3 hours of credit for EN 101. EN 099 is, for some students, a prerequisite for EN 101. Students who are placed in EN 099 as a result of placement testing must earn grades of "C" or higher in EN 099 before they will be allowed to enroll in EN 101. The requirements for non-native speakers of English are as follows: A non-native speaker of English must be able to demonstrate an ability to communicate orally and in writing in English to the extent necessary to complete all coursework successfully without special consideration. All non-native speakers of English take an English language proficiency examination before they enroll at the University. Based on the examination results, students must enroll in the appropriate course(s) in the English Language Institute, in EN 120, or in EN 121. They must then be continuously enrolled in appropriate courses until 6 semester hours of credit for college-level English composition have been earned. Credit in English will not be transferred for students who place in courses in the English Language Institute or in EN 120. Students who place and enroll in EN 121 may be able to transfer credit for courses equivalent to EN 120 or EN 101; the transfer is dependent on the equivalency of the completed courses and on the recommendation of the Department of English. Credit in excess of 6 semester hours for English composition is considered duplication; therefore, no more than 6 hours of such credit may count toward a degree.
FREE ELECTIVESMost college courses may be counted as free electives. Some exceptions for College of Engineering students are the mathematics courses below MATH 125; duplication of subject matter; and English composition in excess of 6 semester hours. The number of hours of ROTC credit that may be applied to degree requirements may not exceed 4 hours for the Basic Course and 12 hours for the Advanced Course.
GRADESStudents should be familiar with the material under "Academic Suspension," p. 23 of this catalog; and "Student Responsibility," "Degree Requirements," and "Repeating Courses" in the College of Engineering section.
INDEPENDENT STUDYApproval to take a course by independent study (i.e., correspondence) must be secured from the director of Engineering Student Services prior to registration for the course.
INTERIM SESSION COURSESStudents should see the departmental information throughout this section of the catalog to determine the applicability of Interim session courses toward their particular engineering degrees.
MATHEMATICSAn entering student must enroll in the mathematics course determined by the student's score on the mathematics placement test. A grade of "C" or higher must be earned in each mathematics course that leads to another course in the sequence that prepares the student to enroll in calculus (also see "Repeating Courses," below).
MINORS FOR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING STUDENTSA student majoring in an engineering program may earn a minor in engineering or another division of the University. Examples are chemistry, mathematics, and physics, which are offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, and the general business minor offered by the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration. Required courses and electives needed for an engineering or computer science degree may also count toward the minor. Minor forms are available in departmental offices. For additional information about minors and the courses required in them, see the appropriate sections of this catalog.
MINORS IN ENGINEERING FOR OTHER STUDENTSTwo types of minors in the College of Engineering are available to students enrolled in other divisions of the University. The minors require a minimum of 18 hours in engineering courses. The Type 1 minor is a specialized program in any of the College's engineering disciplines. Course requirements and advising are available from the appropriate department head, who will appoint an adviser for a student desiring this type of minor. The Type 2 minor is a general minor in engineering. The associate dean of engineering appoints an adviser for a student pursuing a Type 2 minor, which requires a minimum of 18 hours in courses chosen from a list available from the associate dean for academic programs.
PASS/FAIL OPTIONThe pass/fail option cannot be exercised for courses that are to be applied to the requirements of an engineering or computer science degree or certificate, but it can be used for other courses. See "Student Records and General Academic Policies" on p. 19 of this catalog.
PREREQUISITESA grade of "C" or better must be earned in each course that serves as a prerequisite to any course that will be applied toward the student's degree requirements (see "Student Responsibility," p. 191; and "Corequisites and Prerequisites," p. 195).
PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL ADMISSIONUndergraduate students in the College of Engineering may plan programs of study that satisfy the requirements for admission to professional schools of dentistry, law, medicine, optometry, etc. For further information, contact The University of Alabama, Dean of the College of Engineering, Box 870200, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0200.
REGISTRATIONSchedules for faculty advising and other registration information are posted throughout the College of Engineering just prior to and during the registration period for each semester or term. Additional information is available from the director of Engineering Student Services in 112 Mineral Industries Building and from the departmental offices. All schedules and drop/add forms must be approved by the student's adviser.
REPEATING COURSESThe repetition of courses is governed by the following restrictions:
- In computing the GPA, a grade of "I" (Incomplete) is included as hours attempted with zero grade points earned. A student on probation must remove "I" grades within two weeks of the beginning of classes during his or her next term in residence. Students not on probation must remove "I" grades within four weeks of the beginning of classes during the next term. If the "I" grade was earned in a required course and is not removed, the course must be repeated.
- A record of original and repeat enrollments appears on the student's transcript.
- Each enrollment in a course is included in the cumulative hours attempted and in the computation of grade point averages. However, only the final enrollment may count as credit toward the degree.
- Courses completed with grades of "A," "B," or "C" may not be repeated except on an audit basis.
- Enrollment for credit in a course that is at a lower level than a course the student has already completed for credit with a grade of "A," "B," or "C" is prohibited. For example, a student with credit for MATH 125 with a grade of "A," "B," or "C" may not enroll for credit in MATH 100, MATH 110, MATH 112, MATH 113, MATH 115, MATH 121, or similar courses. This policy also prohibits repeating a course for credit if equivalent transfer credit with a grade of "Pass" has already been awarded. Enrollment for credit in a course is not prohibited simply because credit was earned in a higher-numbered course. For example, a student with credit for GES 411 or GES 451 may enroll for credit in GES 255 or GES 257. If students have questions about the interpretation of this policy, they should consult the associate dean for academic programs or the director of Engineering Student Services prior to enrollment.
- Only two repeat attempts, for a total of three attempts, in any course are permitted, unless continuance is authorized by the associate dean for academic programs. Some departments may have more restrictive policies concerning the number of repeat attempts allowed.
TRANSFER CREDIT, ADVANCED PLACEMENT, AND CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONThe following policies apply to the transfer of credit by entering transfer students, the transfer of credit that was earned while concurrently enrolled at The University of Alabama, the transfer of credit earned as a transient student at another institution, and the transfer of credit from other divisions of The University of Alabama.
- In order for credit to be transferred, courses completed at other institutions must be equivalent as nearly as possible to courses taught at The University of Alabama.
- In the College of Engineering, grades of "D" will not be admissible if the grade was earned in a course that is a prerequisite to another course required for the student's degree program.
- The maximum amount of credit transferable from two-year institutions is 64 semester hours.
TRANSIENT ENROLLMENT AT ANOTHER INSTITUTIONA University of Alabama student who plans to enroll at another institution for one or more terms and to transfer the credit earned at that institution to The University of Alabama must secure approval from the director of Engineering Student Services prior to enrolling at the new institution. The maximum amount of credit transferable from a two-year institution is 64 semester hours. If, at the time of initial enrollment at The University of Alabama, a student transfers fewer than 64 semester hours, additional credit may be transferred from a two-year institution. However, once a student has accumulated 64 semester hours of credit from all sources, no more than 12 semester hours of 100- or 200-level courses may be transferred from a two-year institution. Credit will not be removed from an earlier transfer evaluation to permit students to transfer courses from two-year institutions.
TRANSFERS FROM OTHER UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA DIVISIONSCredit that another division of the University previously accepted for transfer from another institution will be reevaluated by the College of Engineering when a student transfers into the College from within the University.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN GRADUATE COURSESUndergraduate students may be permitted to enroll in graduate courses if they have senior standing and "B" or higher averages for work attempted at The University of Alabama.

On Christmas Day 2005 my Dad, Jonathon Harrington set off to climb Cadair Idris. Ever the eccentric and adventorous character he is, it was approached with the zestful manner for life always known to him.
Unbeknown to him, (and those around him), he would later find himself in life changing circumstances. As he was making his way down the mountain he lost his footing and descended 30ft down a gully. This moment was to change his life for ever. My Dad suffered severe spinal injuries and was told it was unlikely he would ever walk again.
On the weekend of the 5th July the goal is to get my Dad up the top of Snowdon, with tremendous physical exertion guaranteed!
We pledge to raise a minumum of £2,000 for the BackUp Trust who supports, aids, motivates those with spinal injuries to regain independance and offers opportunities to fulfill ambitions that may not even seem possible!
Please consider supporting us in fundrasing to reach and help those affected:
An enormous 'Thank You' to everyone who has donated to our cause; whether we know you or not, whether relatives, friends colleagues or those of you have donated anonymously we want to thank you and my Dad has just been up his first 'Mountain' since Christmas Day 2005. One member of the team suggested 'next stop Kilimanjaro' (19,340 ft) but this may be a little ambitious so let's go for either Pen-y-fan, Scafell or Ben Nevis?
Watch out in the press for reports of our adventure; I think The Farmers Weekly MIGHT want to run it!

And what better way to promote a product than to destroy it while taking a video and uploading it on youtube? Sounds contradicting? Well, not exactly for the EZGrill!
As some of you may or may not know. Android and Apple are the two current type of smartphones that are battling its way towards its supremacy for the greatest mobile unit on earth – not to mention that Microsoft's new Windows Phone 7 is looming on background trying to take the spot out from the RIM-kind, to be hailed as the 3rd Smartphone brand on the mobile market. For some who doesn't like to compare specifications and just want to know the strength of these smartphones on a 'practical way', EZGrill seems to have a very good idea of coming up with a solution. How? By GRILLING it!
Check out the video!
Ah yes, you gotta love the smell of freshly grilled smartphones, don't you? So for those who are interested, the smartphones that were grilled are the iPhone 4, T-Mobile G2 and HTC Surround. And apparently, it appears our winner is the WP7 kind appearing to have an extra added layer of asbestos against Android and Apple? And the loser was T-Mobile G2. For those who will be asking what's the purpose of this video, it's a form of advertisement for EZgrill hoping it will catch the attention of geeks!
Question is, did it?

The first week of the postseason (link to: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=628516) should have been indication enough that the opening round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs was going to be something special. In the end, it took 48 games, a record 16 overtimes, and countless unforgettable moments to make this a first round that fans won't soon forget.
1. More overtime (Video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=174834): Could there have been a more appropriate ending for the first round than the double-OT finale between the Devils and Panthers on Thursday? Of the three Game 7s in the first round, two required overtime, and three of the eight first-round series ended with an overtime goal.
In fact, if this postseason is remembered for anything, it might be extra time. The 16 overtime finishes in the first round established a new record for a single playoff round, previously set in 2001. Fortunately, all this overtime didn't keep everyone up too late. Only three of the 16 overtime games required more than one extra period.
2. Boedker's double (video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=173626): What's more amazing than 16 total overtimes, including the first five games of a single series for the first time in League history, which happened between Phoenix and Chicago? How about Mikkel Boedker scoring the overtime winner in consecutive games? The winners -- Boedker's only two goals of the series -- followed a regular season in which the 22-year-old forward scored just 11 goals in 82 games. He hadn't scored in consecutive games until the final two of the regular season. With his twin winners, Boedker became the first player to notch overtime goals in consecutive playoff games since Joe Sakic in 2004.
How rare was the feat? While last year's playoffs saw three players (Alexandre Burrows, Nathan Horton and Devin Setoguchi) score two overtime goals, no player scored more than one overtime goal in the previous two postseasons. If Boedker scores again in OT this spring, he'll become the third player, after Maurice Richard and Mel Hill, to score three in a playoff season.
3. The Real Deal (video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=40&id=172632): When two teams score 56 goals in a six-game series, it takes a lot for any one highlight to stand above the rest. But a beauty from James Neal was a microcosm of a wild intrastate matchup.
With the teams skating four-on-four and the Pens trailing 3-1 in Game 3, Neal made a fantastic move around Andreas Lilja and Matt Carle before beating Ilya Bryzgalov with a quick shot. The goal gave the Penguins new life, but as was the case throughout the series, the team couldn't maintain that momentum. Just 23 seconds after Neal's beauty, Matt Read replied for the Flyers, leading Philadelphia to an 8-4 win and a 3-0 series lead.
4. Bryz-y does it (video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=172207): One wouldn't expect many highlight-reel saves in one of the highest-scoring series in League history, but Bryzgalov's stunning post-to-post grab on Kris Letang in the second game may have shifted control of the series.
At the time, the Flyers were down 2-0 in the first and the Penguins appeared determined to even the series after squandering a 3-0 lead in Game 1. With his monstrous save, Bryzgalov showed that, in a series where big saves were at a premium, he could be counted on to hold the fort when needed. The Flyers keeper looked shaky in Games 3 and 4, but allowed four goals in the final two games of the series, providing renewed confidence in the Flyers' crease.
5. Western union (Video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=171729): Pekka Rinne's .944 save percentage was a major reason the Predators knocked off the Red Wings in five games. It also ranked him last among the four goalies remaining in the Western Conference. Jonathan Quick (.953), Mike Smith (.950), and Brian Elliott (.949) all outranked Rinne in an incredible opening playoff round. Rinne's 1.81 goals-against average equaled Smith but trailed Elliott (1.37) and Quick (1.59).
The best statistical goaltender of the playoffs didn't even make it past the first round. Despite a .960 save percentage and 1.31 GAA in three starts, Vancouver's Cory Schneider -- who replaced starter Roberto Luongo to start Game 3 against Los Angeles -- wasn't able to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference pack.
6. Changing of the guard: The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs looks very different from years past. All four of last season's conference finalists are gone, including Cup Finalists Boston and Vancouver, who were upset in remarkable overtime finishes.
While the Canucks and Bruins failed to make the second round for the first time since 2008, the Red Wings are out in Round 1 for the first time since 2006. That five-year run was the longest current streak in the NHL and the second-longest in the history of the conference format. The Wings set the record when they made the second round in six straight postseasons between 1995 and 2000.
In place of the old standbys are teams that are unfamiliar to the second round. Like the Coyotes, who won their first playoff series since 1987, when the franchise was in Winnipeg. There's also the Blues and Kings, who won their first postseason series since 2002 and 2001, respectively, and the Capitals, who won their first series as a lower seed since 1998.
7. Gi-Whiz (video link: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=174112): With the first round done, Flyers center Claude Giroux owns practically every League statistical lead, topping the Stanley Cup Playoffs in goals, assists, points, and plus/minus. As if that wasn't enough, Giroux was a constant thorn in the side of Penguins fans and his hit on Sidney Crosby off Game 6's opening faceoff set the tone for a series-clinching win.
Giroux's His 14 points against the Penguins was one shy of the team record of 15 set by Tim Kerr in the 1989 Patrick Division Semifinals -- also against the Penguins. In fact, the 14 points is the most in a series since Sidney Crosby had five goals and nine assists against Ottawa in the first round of the 2010 playoffs. Giroux's six-game outburst is more than half the total for the playoff scoring leader in 13 of the last 16 playoffs, including last year's leader, David Krejci, who had 23 points.

2007 Ford Five Hundred Reviews
2007 Ford Five Hundred Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2007 Ford Five Hundred (18 Reviews)
Trading off a Volvo. I just bought a 2007 Five Hundred SEL its beautiful in and out. Never had high repair cost at repair shops only things get (common) brakes they last only 2 months than got get new ones. Recently done oil changed, this car is very gorgeous looking it has all features. Purchased mines with AWD. Interior is top of the line very comfortable seats so quiet driving car. Exterior styling is gorgeous love my car has tons of power available with good options inside of interior no issues. Purchased my Five Hundred in Jan 2015 a good looking car like it better than my 2002 Volvo its a gem owning this car so luxurious at its best.
I love my Ford 500 Limited. I brought it used with 114,00 miles on it. Now 2 years later the only things that I have to replace was the a/c sensor and alternator which was covered by my warranty. It has 155,000 miles on it and still running great. All I can say is to keep up your maintenance up on your car and It will run just fine. Always get your fluids changed at recommended time. It's cheaper in the beginning rather than costly in the end.
bought it new, it now has 230,000 miles. only changed the oil, transmission oil, brakes and tires. best car ever........forget the japanese and germans, get one if you still can. the other reviews are from the germans and japanese dealers.
I bought mine used (was a rental) from dealer. Now has 75000 miles with no problem except rear brakes and rotors at 40000 miles. Only complaint is the lo/Dr position on shifter. I like better control for down shifting on hills.
At 93000 I had to replace the A/C system $1800+labor. Temps in central TX soar in the summer and I guess I'm lucky, I've had the care since Sept 2006. I've recently experienced a cold start problem (visited parents in cold weather region). First time it's ever happened. I found this site by researching the problem. Looks like others have had the same. I can't give this car a negative rating. I've done nothing but change oil/filter since I've owned (original owner). Hope my luck continues.
i have a ford 500 and i replaced the crankshaft sensor and now it wont crank. what did i do wrong?
We bought my wifes car used, and really havent done anything to it except put coolant in the A/C but now she'e having a weired noise come from the driver side. It's hard to explain what it sounds like but it almost sounds like a bearing is going out almost like when water hits your exhuast and its tingling sound is the best way to explain it what could it be?
bought car new 2007 and have had brake problems since 6000 miles and still have them at 80,000. now I have a/c problems like so many other people with the same compressor on thier Ford.
I love my Ford 500! My in-laws love theirs, too! I have over 122,000 miles on mine. I have always taken it to the dealership for its scheduled maintenance. I live in WV and have taken it as far Northeast as Massachusetts, as far south as Florida, as far west as Indianapolis and most points in between. I have had trouble with rear turn signal bulbs burning out seems like too frequently after initial bulbs went out, other than that, normal maintenance! My gas mileage is 24 - 30, depending on terrain, naturally. Again, I love my 500!
i love the look of the car, but sometimes i wonder if it's worth it all.....
We purchased our 2007 Ford 500 used from a local car lot at 55,000 miles. After only a few weeks of driving it, we knew there was something wrong with it. We had an extended warranty and took it back to the service dept. where we bought it from three times only to be told they couldn't replicate my complaints. The car shifts hard, going up hills, starting/stopping, it lunges forward/backward when we leave it in park to idle and then shift into drive/reverse, the rubber shift slider is bunching up now....making it hard to even get into drive. These problems have always been intermittent and even though the dealership where I bought the car finally admitted there was a problem, they couldn't fix it because it didn't show up on the diagnostic machine. They told me that if it was a faulty part, it would eventually give out and I could have it towed back in. Now that I have contacted the car salesman, they are recommending I take it to a transmission shop while we only have 1500 miles left on our warranty. Hopefully we can get something done about it. My advice to anyone with a Ford 500.....get rid of it.....or make sure you have an extended warranty because you will need it. This was my first Ford and sadly...it will be my last. Too bad Americans are forced to buy products outside of our country because quality and customer service in our own country sucks!
Have had this car to Ford mechanics 2 times for the transmission. They say nothing is wrong. Each time having to pay 100 dollars because warrenty doesn't cover what the mechanics can't find!!....Being a driver of over 30 years...I can tell when something is not right. I finally took the car to a non-ford transmission shop.....they told me the transmission is fine...HOWEVER, because of the engine size (not having enough horsepower for the transmission) the tranny acts like it is racing and takes longer to shift up. Wouldn't have this issue if it had at least 20 more horse power......WOW, if Ford had been able to tell me that I wouldn't have taken it back for another wasted 100 dollar bill..... Rear right blinker goes out near every 4 months. Gas mileage sucks! salesman said, "Oh yea, this baby gets 30+ on the highway....we are lucky to get 22 on the highway and 17 in town........more cost effective to drive our FORD expedition.....which has been a mechanical pit too....... Never gonna buy another ford...... can't afford a ford!!!!
I am extremely worried. I just bought a 2007 five hundred a few weeks ago. Ive put about 500 miles on it so far and already see potential major problems. The gears have trouble shifting around 45 mph and what pisses me off the most are the extreme jumps the car takes when put into drive or reverse. I am already financing this for WAY more than it is worth (I have no credit and had little options) and its our only vehicle. The last thing we need is a $5500 transmission replacement. We most definitely DO NOT have that kind of money. I am afraid I have screwed over my family now. *sob*
I just came back from the ford dealer where i purchasd my 2007 500 three years. Brakes bad again. First time i had 16,000 on my car. Next time i had approx.20,000 miles.This time i have 26,000 all with the same problem.The dealer refuses to do anything about it saying i had been there only one time about this problem. Sounds like a cover up to me 1st time they put new rotors and brakes on. 2nd time they turned the rotors and put new brakes and a wheel bearing on. 3rd time they refused to do anything about it'. Let's hear about it, how many others are getting the run around. All withend 26,000 miles.
I have taken Ford to small claims court in British Columbia because of the problems with the rear brakes on my 2007 Ford 500. Although the mechanics at the ford service department state clearly that there has been a problem with the rear brakes and rotors, and Ford has issued an extended warranty on some ford 500 brakes, Ford says the problem was solved by the time my car was built in Chicago. When the dealer replaced the rear brakes and rotors ($650) they noted on the work order that the problem was caused by undersized rotors. At the settlement hearing (there is always one to try and resolve the problem before it goes to open court) the Ford rep stated that the dealer and his service department were not really Ford so it did not matter what they thought/stated. The judge was NOT IMPRESSED. Anyway we go to trial in a few months. Before then Ford has to provide all warranty and technical notices re the Ford 500 brakes. Does anyone have more experience???
I bought an 07 five hundred in 07 that was a previous rental. It had 16000 miles on it. It was fine for about the first 10000 miles and then we realized we had break problems. We took it to Ford and they replaced the pads and rotors due to the recall. We also mentioned that when the cars RPMs climb from 2-3k it bounces back to 2k and climbs again..kinda like its slipping. The dealer said theres nothing wrong with it. At 50k miles the car started to shift in the rear end when driving over a bump, then the A arm went out. We had it replaced ( costing about $500) then 7 months later it went out again. The motor mount on the top is bad, and a month ago we were on a drive when the car died. We tried to restart it and it wouldnt start. We used a code reader and found out that the fuel rail pressure sensor was bad. We replaced it ( at $105 only available through the dealer) and it drove fine for another 2 months, until we drove it out of state and it did the exact same thing. This time we pulled the battery cables and reset the fuel pump and it started and has been running fine ever since. I know I shouldnt have bought a prior rental, but I had no idea there would be so many problems with a newer car. Not at all happy with the service from ford and probably wont ever buy ford again.
Piece of junk. My first and last Ford. So far, new trans at 25k, bad fuel injector that was bad all along, but the dealer wouldn't fix it because it "didn't blow a code and Ford won't pay for the repair unless it blows a code". I wrote to Ford and they fixed it and returned my deductible from an extended warranty that I bought out of fear. Here it is a year later and the trans is slipping, the tires are cupping, need rear brakes too soon, and the injector is acting up again, and the turn signal is out, just to name a few things. I'm done with Ford. Just like they used to say way back when... Ford means Fix Or Repair Daily!!!!
I love my car so far.

Hyperthetically I would have liked to have seen Marquez versus Stoner. Similar riding styles in respect of how they throw the bike around albeit Marquez more extreme position on the bike. That would have been something to behold.
