NEW YORK – Sept. 15, 2010 – Savvy teen entrepreneurs from around the country are counting on America's vote to be crowned champion of the NFTE Elevator Pitch Challenge, Presented by E*TRADE Bank (www.elevatorpitch2010.com). As part of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)'s 2010 OppenheimerFunds/NFTE National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, teen entrepreneurs representing 22 businesses get 30 seconds to sell their ideas to the world in an online video "elevator pitch," and a shot at $2,500 and two round-trip plane tickets donated by Southwest Airlines to help get their idea off the ground or advance their education.
Online voting is now open through October 3 at www.elevatorpitch2010.com where the public is encouraged to view the elevator pitch videos and cast their votes for the best business ideas. Each of the 22 businesses is the brainchild of a high school or middle school student from a low-income community who learned about starting his or her own business in school classes based on NFTE's unique, experiential entrepreneurship curriculum.
"We're excited to add the NFTE Elevator Pitch Challenge, Presented by E*TRADE Bank to our annual national business plan competition finals line-up," said Amy Rosen, president and CEO of NFTE. "Our mission at NFTE is to inspire young people to stay in school, to recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures. Not only does the elevator pitch competition offer these talented teens financial incentive, it's a fun and creative way for them to gain very valuable business skills."
Voters can cast one vote for their favorite elevator pitch videos each day until the end of the contest, so long as they provide their e-mail address. The elevator pitch competition winner will be announced at the 2010 OppenheimerFunds/NFTE National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, presented by Kathryn W. Davis, on October 5 in New York City.

would it be tasty with fat sauce? I pretty much love fat sauce. :)ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, Mayzie! You are a genious. It would be AMAZING with fat sauce.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8/25/11, 7:05 PM
looks great. would like to try this for a catering, but how many servings is this for? I can't seem to find it on the page... :(ReplyDelete
This should serve 5-6 adults. It doesn't hold up well. It needs to be served right out of the oven because it will deflate slightly like a souffle. It is delicious.ReplyDelete
Holy Cow - this was awesome! I made it last night for the family to go along with beef roast and gravy. I'm a huge fan of potatoes but decided this would be in place of that. YUM!ReplyDelete
So I did end up doing one thing different. I didn't have yellow but white cornmeal (it was also self rising) So I added 2 drops of yellow food coloring and left out the salt. Anyway it turned out great. We had 5 people eating dinner and several of us took a 2nd serving.
Thanks for sharingReplies
Ahhhh, I'm so glad you tried the spoon bread. Sometimes I think this poor post just sits there unnoticed. It is AMAZING with gravy. I think using white cornmeal would work just great. Thanks for your comment.Delete

what is fat sauce? I am going to try your recipe. The one I've always used got packed when I moved and now my #2 son in begging for spoon bread. Yours uses the beaten egg whites like mine. I got my recipe from a Georgia cook book back in the 70's. It calls for white cornmeal. I'm going to try yours as is. Thank you so much for your beautiful instructions.ReplyDelete
Fat sauce is a bit of heaven. Check my recipe pull down file for fat sauce. It's divine. I'm sure this spoon bread would be great with white corn meal. It is so fabulous. I hope you enjoy it.ReplyDelete
Janet, I love spoonbread, but haven't made it for years - I think the biggest issue I had with it is that it ties up the oven for an hour, and I tend to like to serve it with items that cook low and slow, like pulled pork. The other issue is that unless I have my oven on for something else, I don't always like heating up the oven (or kitchen) for an hour for just one thing. I guess spoonbread just fell by the wayside!ReplyDelete
I think it's pure genius that you made yours in ramekins! Do you remember how many and how long you cooked it for?Replies
Well I wish I was genius, but that's a small souffle dish. Looks like you're the genius because that's a great idea. That could be done easily. I would bake for about 15 - 20 minutes to start out with. I think I'll try it. I know what you mean by tying up the oven, I serve it with braised beef or pot roast. I just make the room for it. It's a family favorite.Delete

I made this but the middle of the spread still had that wet texture where it didnt look cooked at all is that how its suppose to be?ReplyDeleteReplies
The spoon bread is moist inside like a souffle. It should be moist by not doughy. You could try baking just little longer to see if that remedies the problem. Start with 5 minutes additional baking time. Best of luck.Delete
- Anonymous3/23/13, 9:29 PM
Mine is jiggly when removed from oven! Did i do something wrong? I have never baked a soufelle before so i dont understand the part about soufelle texture/consistancy. Help please i made this for church tomorrow and would hate to disappoint with an undercooked made from scratch dish. :(ReplyDeleteReplies
A souffle is puffed and beautiful when first pulled from the oven then slowly deflates. The inside texture is very soft, which almost melts in your mouth. If you think it was under cooked, why don't you bake it an additional 5 minutes. I try to time the meal so that the spoonbread is the last item put on the dinner table. I even leave it in the oven while we say grace on the food. I hopes this helps. Best of luck. Please let me know how your spoonbread turns out. I'll be anxiously waiting.Delete

Is there any reason I can't temper the egg yolks instead of beating the heck out of them? I was going to try this tonight. (wish me luck)ReplyDeleteReplies
You probably can temper the egg yolks. That does make sense. Just beat the egg whites and fold them in to make a light spoonbread. Good luck :)Delete
- Anonymous9/11/13, 5:30 PM
I was searching the web for the spoonbread I remember, and just from reading the recipe, I can see that this is the real thing. My New Yorker mother used to make spoonbread, as passed on to her from her Smoky Mountains mother-in-law, my grandmother. In no other respect did my mother take up Southern customs, but she could cook the food. I loved her spoonbread so much when I was a kid that I can't even remember what she served it with: all I see on the plate is that fluffy yellow goodness with butter running all over it. Thank you! By the way, I also thought of tempering the egg yolks -- think I'll try it that way.ReplyDeleteReplies
I recently saw a recipe that incorporated fresh herbs into the spoonbread. I think I'll try that someday. I hope you love the recipe. It's true comfort food. I love your comment.Delete

Fun fact. Thank you so much.Delete
I made this using Bob's Red Mill stone ground whole grain cornmeal. I microwaved the cornmeal-milk mixture one minute at a time, stirring each time. I let it cool 15 minutes before adding egg yolks to be safe. I baked it in the toaster oven at 325F, to avoid scorching the bottom, so as not to heat up the whole kitchen. It came out perfect first time. It microwaves great without getting rubbery.ReplyDelete
Visiting my grandmother in Richmond, Va as a child, I would always request her Spoonbread. Loved it swimming in butter! Haven't had any since the 1970's. Will definitely be making this recipe! Thanks for posting!ReplyDeleteReplies

I grew up in Montana and never heard of spoonbread or grits souffle until I married and lived in VA where I worked at a local hospital and they served the most delicious "spoonbread". After leaving VA I searched many recipes and thought I found what I was looking for in Natalie Depree's recipe for Grits Souffle. Never thought to try it with cornmeal! I sounds as though it will be exactly as I remembered that wonderful side dish.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope this is the recipe you have been looking for. It was a family favorite for Sunday supper when my children were young and at home. Thank you for sharing.Delete

It's kinda bothering me about IVs and EVs being the key to a powerful team. But are both equally important? Is it possible to have IVs for all stats but low EVs and vice-versa still be able to win many battles or is it necessary to have them both at a high level? This is what I'm confused about. Anyone have an answer to it? Jace Seville (talk) 22:21, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
I've always thought of EVs as being more helpful. The stat boost from EVs is quite a bit higher than IVs. Certainly, IV breeding certain pokemon could be helpful, but I've never really bothered since it's so time consuming and tedious. Plus, I like to raise a bunch of different ones. Many people on message boards/Smogon seem to think that IVs are really important, but there's a big difference between having good IVs on a battle simulator vs the actual game (mainly in terms of how long it takes). Also, you're likely to have pokemon with average IVs (15 or so out of 31), which has less of an impact on final stats than using/not using 252 EVs on a stat, if that makes sense. --Shockstorm (talk) 21:16, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Compost plant public meeting date set
A three-hour public information meeting will be held on a proposed composting facility east of Fort Langley.
The company that wants to build the plant, Glenval Organics Ltd., has booked the event for Wednesday, Jan. 16 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Thompson Room at the Fort Langley Golf Course at 9782 McKinnon Cres.
The meeting is not a formal public hearing, only an information session, according to Ray Robb, the Metro air quality district director who has the authority to issue an air quality permit for the plant.
The Glenval Organics Ltd. application to locate the plant on a 12.32 hectare property 25330 88 Ave. has drawn complaints from area residents and at least one member of Langley Township council, who say there hasn't been enough public consultation.
Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox said the proposal will make Langley the "dumping site" for all the green waste from all the other municipalities in Metro Vancouver.
Fox said the whole area is a flood plain and sensitive peat bog.
Fox was not satisfied with the operator's promise to restrict the type of waste to limit odours, saying that could change down the road.
Glenval promises the facility will not smell bad because it will only use yard waste but nearby residents like Katherine Kinman, who is renovating a nearby farm house, are not reassured.
She is concerned the plant will drive down property values and says she and her neighbours are "outraged" and intend to fight the planned development.
Glenval Organics spokesperson Scott Temreck describes the site as a "former fill and gravel pit" that is properly zoned for composting.
Temreck said the company intends to become the first yard waste compost facility in the Metro Vancouver region to receive an air quality permit and promised the plant will "meet or exceed all environmental regulations that apply to the composting industry."
He predicted traffic will be "minimally increased" along 88 Avenue, adding a maximum of 16 trucks a day to the 2,500 to 5,000 vehicles that travel the route every day.

US stocks ended a quiet session with slight moves overnight as investors found few reasons to keep pushing shares higher following a six-week advance, though the longer-term trend was still viewed as positive.
The benchmark index is up more than 6.4 per cent in 2013, putting both the S&P 500 and Dow industrials near multi-year highs. The S&P is less than 4 per cent from its all-time intraday high of 1576.09, hit in October 2007.
"This is still a market that looks terrific, but when you're up for six weeks in a row, everyone is going to want to take a pause going into the seventh week even if there is no bad news out there," said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North Star Investment Management in Chicago.
Volume was light, with about 4.812 billion shares changing hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, well below the daily average so far this year of about 6.48 billion shares.
Wall Street was modestly lower throughout the session but regained some ground in the final hour of trading as Google Inc rebounded off earlier losses. Shares of the internet search giant dipped 0.4 per cent to $782.42, recovering from earlier declines of 1 per cent after the company said in a filing former chief executive Eric Schmidt is selling roughly 42 per cent of his stake in the company.
Also in the tech space, Apple Inc rose up 1 per cent to $479.93 after the New York Times reported the iPhone maker was experimenting with the design of a device similar to a wristwatch.
The Federal Reserve's vice-chair Janet Yellen, seen as a potential successor to Fed chairman Ben Bernanke next year, said the Fed is still aggressively stimulating an anemic US economic recovery that has failed to bring rapid progress on employment.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 21.81 points, or 0.16 per cent, at 13,971.16. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.92 points, or 0.06 per cent, at 1517.01. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 1.87 points, or 0.06 per cent, at 3192.00.
Upbeat US and Chinese data last week helped the S&P 500 extend its weekly winning streak to six. The index gained about 8 per cent over that period.
Equities have been strong performers lately and many investors have used any declines in the market as opportunities to buy.
"Everyone wants to buy on a dip in this market, but if you're on the sidelines right now, the decline we're seeing today just isn't the kind you would jump in on," Mr Kuby said.
President Barack Obama will describe his plan for spurring the economy in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. He is expected to offer proposals for investment in infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy and education.
Opposition has grown to the $24.4 billion buyout of Dell, the No. 3 personal computer maker, as three of the largest investors joined Southeastern Asset Management on Friday in raising objections. Dell said in a regulatory filing it had considered many strategic options before opting to go private in a buyout led by chief executive Michael Dell.
Dell shares hovered near $13.65, the buyout offer price.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc shares rose 2.7 per cent at $170.35 after it said longtime drug development partner Sanofi plans to boost its stake.
Moody's was one of the strongest percentage gainers on the S&P 500, rising 4.9 per cent to $45.49. Last week the stock plunged 22 per cent after the US government launched a civil lawsuit against the company. The sell-off marked the stock's worst week since October 2008.
About 53 per cent of stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange closed lower while slightly more Nasdaq-listed stocks closed in negative territory.

Background and problem
Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world. Cancer cells divide abnormally and grow uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of malignant tumors, and invading human body. Cancer causes about 13 percent of the all human deaths worldwide (WHO 2007).
Chemotherapy is a popular medical treatments for the cancer, however, it often attacks normal cells in addition to the cancer cells, damaging normal tissue and organs, which cause severe side effects. According to the American cancer society, these side effects include pain, vomiting, limphedemia, sexual decline and various symptoms, which seriously decrease quality of life.
To improve cancer-specificity, drug delivery system (DDS) has developed, but it is difficult to optimize a delivery system for each drug.
Team Todai nanORFEVRE are trying to make cancer-specific drug which doesn't need delivery system(DDS).

Candidates not surprised by mayoral results
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Three former single-member district city commissioners were among the candidates who vied Tuesday for the office of Gainesville mayor.
In a less than stunning turn of events, each carried his old district.
Former Commissioner Ed Braddy carried the suburban western areas of the city. In the primarily northwestern area of his former District 2, he received more than 49 percent of the votes cast. There, incumbent Mayor Craig Lowe, who advanced to an April 16 runoff with Braddy, drew less than 32 percent.
Braddy also drew the most votes in the western, mostly suburban District 3 — the only district that did not have a former commissioner in the race for mayor.
There, Braddy drew 45 percent of the vote, compared with a little less than 41 percent for Lowe.
"We're not too surprised," Braddy said of Tuesday's results. "We did well where we wanted to do well. We got some surprisingly good results in District 3, the precincts there."
Lowe received more than 53 percent of the vote in his former District 4, which includes the University Park and Duck Pond neighborhoods and the University of Florida campus precincts. Braddy, on the other hand, drew less than 25 percent of the vote there.
Nick Mildebrath, Lowe's campaign manager, described the results as "unsurprising," particularly in a municipal race where former commissioners enjoy name recognition in the districts they had represented.
Mildebrath noted that Braddy carried the suburban areas that tend to vote for conservative candidates, while Lowe did well in areas that tend to vote Democratic.
Former Commissioner Scherwin Henry carried District 1, his old district, with nearly 56 percent of the vote. In that district, which includes much of east Gainesville, Lowe drew approximately 24 percent of the vote and Braddy just less than 16 percent.
In a race where less than 15 percent of the city's nearly 82,000 voters participated, two west Gainesville precincts had the highest turnout.
There was 36 percent turnout at the University City Church of Christ in the 4600 block of Northwest Eighth Avenue and 32.2 percent turnout at Westminster Presbyterian Church in the 1500 block of Northwest 34th Street. Braddy had the most votes at both of those precincts.
Looking at the four districts in the city, the most votes were cast in District 2, with 4,825. There were 3,180 votes cast in District 3 and 2,067 cast in District 4. In District 1, 1,992 voters cast a ballot.
Moving ahead to April, Braddy and Lowe have to try to attract the more than 3,000 voters who supported another candidate, including more than 2,000 who went for Henry, and attempt to mobilize more of the more than 70,000 registered voters who did not vote.
Braddy said he felt that Henry's supporters were "also concerned about how to get by in this tough economy and keeping Gainesville affordable, which is the heart of our message."
He noted Henry campaigned on a message that there was a division between the public and City Hall and that a change of leadership was needed to bridge that gap.
Braddy pointed out that the theme of "bringing better leadership" to City Hall is also part of his campaign.
Mildebrath said Lowe would campaign "everywhere" to try to gain votes and not "single out any one part of town."
He said he felt Lowe's "politics line up with a lot of the people who supported Henry."
Both Lowe and Henry are Democrats. On the campaign trail, members of the Democratic Executive Committee, including current and former city and county commissioners, primarily threw their support behind Lowe.
In the last days of the campaign, the Florida Democratic Party made a $2,500 contribution to Lowe's campaign. The state party did not contribute to Henry's campaign. State party officials could not be reached for comment on the contribution.
On Tuesday, Henry said he had not yet decided if he would publicly support Lowe or Braddy. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Wetlands Restoration Project Under Way at Sheldon Lake State Park
HOUSTON – Restoration of 290 acres of bald cypress swamp, bottomland hardwood forest and savannah began on June 1 at Sheldon Lake State Park on the northeast side of Houston.
Intercontinental Terminals Company (ITC) has undertaken this project to replace wetlands at the site of its new terminal on the Houston Ship Channel. ITC is funding the $825,000 project and has hired Atkins (formerly PBS&J) to provide planning and supervision.
Constructed in 1942 as a water source for war industries, the restoration site is adjacent to Garrett Road, located at the upper end of Sheldon Lake. While the reservoir was undergoing dam repairs in the early 1970s, Chinese tallow, a small tree native to Asia, invaded the marshland after it was introduced into the area as a landscape plant.
ITC is funding the restoration plan that Atkins is implementing with oversight by state park staff. The plan calls for mulching the Chinese tallow and replacing them with long-lived bald cypress, oak and pine to provide much needed homes and food for the many birds, bobcats, deer, alligators and other wildlife that live in the park.
"This is a project that has been on the books for over 20 years," says Robert Comstock, Sheldon Lake State Park superintendent. "The park didn't have the means to accomplish it, but by partnering with ITC we will be able to make significant improvements to the upper reservoir habitat."
The shallow edge of the lake that dries out each summer and fall will be planted with a mix of pine and tall-grass prairie, similar to what existed at the site prior to the land being cleared for farms and as seen in 1930 photographs.
One-half of the Chinese tallow has now been cleared from the site and the planting of bald cypress, nuttal and water oak, green ash, and water elm trees will begin this winter. Planting of bluestem, gamagrass and switchgrass prairie will occur next year after the mulched tallow has decayed.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will manage the forest and prairie along with approximately 300 acres of former farmland they've previously restored to prairie and marshland.

HOUSTON - Officers went to a northeast Houston street to investigate a crash and found out that it was really a homicide scene.
Houston police said they were called out to Peachtree near Weaver Road about 7:30 a.m.
When officers arrived, they found a pickup truck crashed on the left side of the road, with its engine still running.
Detectives said a body was found in a ditch on the right side of the road.
"They rolled the body to do first aid and discovered he had possible gunshot wounds or stab wounds," Officer Warren Meeler said. "Residents reported hearing two gunshots."
Detectives said they think the slaying happened on the street and not inside the pickup truck.
"As far as I can tell, there isn't any blood in the truck," Meeler said.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences will determine the man's identity and how he died.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Hi All,
It's been a long time since I last posted on here.
Quick question, I am thinking about using some kind of Version Control / Source Control for my online store. However I am not entirely sure how they work. I have a linux VPS server which uses CentOS and cPanel. Has anyone else had any experience of setting up source control?? What was your thoughts?? How did it help you with your web projects??
Any help would be great.
I've used SVN for years after losing an entire project due to working late and running a rogue command that wiped it out.
Most hosting services can setup SVN through a control panel and you can then use TortoiseSVN or something similar to interact with it locally. The basics of source control are you import your current set of files, then you checkout your repository so you can work locally, and as you make milestones/changes you commit them back to the repository.
Here is a good read and a few of their examples are using SVN:http://betterexplained.com/articles/a-visual-guide-to-version-control/
Hey Cp
I'm gonna have to recommend using mercurial or git over svn. I used svn myself for a few years and couldn't see anything at all wrong with it. Sure, Mercurial and Git are much faster and can work offline - also supporting different workflows, but I still didn't see this as an absolute essential or anything like that.
The moment I changed my mind about this was the first time I got my head around how branching works in Mercurial (Mercurial and Git are both very similar, but we use Mercurial at work - the way branching works is so similar that at least in my use-case you can consider them to be the same). Because I'd used svn for years, I was scared of branching (had only ever tried it at a previous company, and the process was a nightmare - took us about a week to do a complicated merge between two branches and everything broke), so I didn't branch for probably the first 3-4 months of working there (thinking back on this, it may have been a good 6 months into my job before I first did it).
I then came across this scenario: I had a system that was live. I had been working on a new feature for about 2 weeks, but this feature was not yet finished. Because I develop locally, my boss hadn't seen the (unfinished) changes I'd been working on at this point. My boss comes to talk to me to tell me there's a couple of new reports he wants to see on the site, and they are considered a top priority. Now I have a problem - I have two weeks worth of changes that are not yet finished - I must have edited 50 files or more during those two weeks, and now my boss wants some new reports on the site... So how do I make sure none of this unfinished code goes live? In svn, this would have been a nightmare. I'd have probably had to comment out loads of my code to make sure none of the new stuff went live, but when you're dealing with 2 weeks worth of code, it's really messy and not gonna be much fun...
So I had a go at branching in mercurial. Oh my god - I couldn't believe how good it was. All I did was this - I reverted back in time in my code base to the current live version. I then created a new branch from that point called "new-reports". I then did the work on these reports, got it working and put that code live. This mean my boss could only see the new reports, and that branch had NO code from my unfinished feature on it at all.
Then comes the really cool part - I then took this branch and merged it into my current working branch with the new, unfinished feature, and good god - it merged instantly. So this meant my dev branch had the new reports + my unfinished code. Eventually I finished this feature, and when it came time to put it live, it had both the new reports + the new feature.
Seriously, could you do this with svn?
Just the other day, one of our new web designers (by no means a coder) wanted to be able to edit some design related html/css on our site. No problem. I set him up with his own branch in mercurial and told him how to use it. It's so clean this way, because he can only push to me and my workmate (not to the server). This way, we can assess his changes, make sure he's not done anything silly like edited some php or something, and then when we're happy, we merge his stuff into our branches and it can go live.
One final real world example - we recently had to do some work with a web design agency on a project. They setup svn on their side, and it was such a nightmare for us. If we're working on a change, we have to contact their guy to make sure we're not gonna put any of his half finished changes live when we put something live ourselves. It's really bad. If we were using Git or Mercurial, we could just put stuff live by using our own branch, and he could merge our stuff into his as he's working on it - it'd be seamless.
To really see branching in action, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDR433b0HJY
Check it out from the 22 minute mark. He sets up a local repo and then starts branching - it's like magic, and works just like that in practise
One more thing worth mentioning is that branching like this also really encourages experimentation - I have such freedom now, because I can really quickly create a branch and try out an idea. If it doesn't work, no problem - just discard the branch. If it does work, great, you can easily merge your changes into your dev branch and you're all set. The freedom this gives you is very powerful.
A very good introduction to mercurial is here: http://hginit.com
It also has a section dedicated to svn users: http://hginit.com/00.html
Actually, yeah. SVN does branches too.
This example, on the other hand, does require a distributed version system. In SVN, there's only one server you can commit to. The rest of us only have working copies. Whereas in a distributed system, we clone the repo, and our copy is then indistinguishable from the master. That allows your designer to commit into your personal copy.
SVN does branches too.....
Branching in svn is expensive and messy though. You wouldn't merge 3 or 4 times a day in svn, would you? I found branching and merging very difficult and cumbersome in my experience with svn. Like I said with the example of the external agency we had to work with recently, the issue we were having could have been solved with branching easily, but because they use svn, they didn't branch and so we had to deal with the pain.
Merging is the real key difference here - merging is simple in git and mercurial, so much so that it's normal to do 3 or 4 merges in a day. It's trivial to create branches for everything. On the project I'm working on now for example, we've probably had between 40-50 branches on the project in total (a 3 month project), and typically we'd have about 5 branches running concurrently at any one time. Again, I highly doubt you work like that if you use svn.
Added to this is the fact you can use it offline and it's much, much faster than svn. When we had to use svn with this agency, it was such a pain. It felt like a real step back, and I just wouldn't even consider using svn for anything if I had the final say.
Actually... yeah. I always thought branching in SVN was simple and straightforward. And merging was equally easy.
EDIT: Which isn't to say that it's necessarily better than Git or Mercurial, just that your experiences with it seem... unusual.
Here's a screenshot from some of the most recent commits in our project. You can see we're branching and merging for fun. Again, I just don't think a workflow like this would be realistic in svn:
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there - you must be the first person I've known to say branching is simple in svn - I take it you've experienced using either git or mercurial and how they branch? I think it's far better.
For example, would you feel comfortable merging say 2 weeks worth of changes to 50 files in svn?
Well you're the first person I've known to say that.
Regarding my other question - have you experienced branching in git and/or mercurial?
Can you describe the process of branching in svn? Let's say you take my first scenario - the example of having two weeks' worth of changes that are unfinished, and then you're asked to add a new "reporting" section to the live site. Can you describe the actual process for branching and merging in svn?
I'll do the same in mercurial.
So you update to the live branch:
hg update live
you branch from this point:
hg branch reports
You can then commit on the branch as normal.
When it's time to merge, you go to your live branch:
and merge:
hg merge reports
What's the subversion process?
Take a look at this article, and note the "Lightweight Branches: Frictionless Context Switching" section: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/why-you-should-switch-from-subversion-to-git
Git and Mercurial are actually better than svn, they're not just different.
No offense, but I don't see SVN having difficult branching/merging strategies either... I've yet to run into a problem with branching and merging where it was unbearable or incredibly difficult. Another thing to keep in mind, the OP is primarily talking about a Version Control for himself, not necessarily a team. In that regard something simple, such as, SVN makes a lot more sense over GIT and Mercurial. GIT and Mercurial can make sense when you need a distributed repo, SVN makes a lot of sense when you don't. I'm not at the point of recommending GIT and Mercurial in this situation since it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
To show how to merge I'd have to know what kind of merge you are referring to (as you can do multiple kinds with SVN). Most cases would follow a feature branch, which would simply use
svn merge --reintegrate current_path url_of_master_branch
If you are doing team branches (multiple teams developing the same project across their own branches doing weekly merges), then you would most likely merge changesets from the last merge you did
svn merge -r 13:HEAD url_of_master_branch
Neither of those seem convoluted to me... Plus if you use any IDE with SVN support, this becomes painless. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure GIT and Mercurial are nice and all, but when you speak of ease of use, your way off base. It is far easier to describe the workflow of SVN than it is GIT or Mercurial. Explaining to someone you have multiple repos in multiple locations and you need to know when you want to push changes to each one is complicated. SVN there is only 1 repo and you typically work within a specific branch, it is far easier to describe to a new user (my opinion of course).
Yes, but I think if you look at that link above, you can see how much better branching and merging is in git/mercurial:
"Before I begin explaining this, which is actually my favorite feature of Git, I need you to do me a favor. Forget everthing you know about branches. Your knowledge of what a 'branch' means in Subversion is poisonous, especially if you internalized it pre-1.5, like I did, before Subversion finally grew some basic merge tracking capabilities. Forget how painful it was to merge, forget how long it took to switch branches, forget how impossible it was to merge from a branch more than once – Git gives you a whole new world when it comes to branching and merging.
In Git, branches are not a dirty word – they are used often and merged often, in many cases developers will create one for each feature they are working on and merge between them possibly multiple times a day, and it's generally painless. This is what hooked me on Git in the first place, and in fact has changed the entire way I approach my development.
When you create a branch in Git, it does so locally and it happens very fast. Here is an example of creating a branch and then switching to your new branch to start doing development.
$ time git branch myidea real 0m0.009s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.005s $ time git checkout myidea Switched to branch "myidea" real 0m0.298s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.017s
It took about a third of a second for both commands together. Think for a second about the equivalent in Subversion – running a copy and then a switch
$ time svn copy -m 'my idea' real 0m5.172s user 0m0.033s sys 0m0.016s $ time svn switch real 0m8.404s user 0m0.153s sys 0m0.835s
Now the difference between 1/3 of a second and 13 seconds (not to mention the time it takes to remember each long URL) may not seem huge at first, but there is a significant psychological difference there. Add to that the fact that your network speed, server load and connectivity status are all factors in Subversion, where it always takes 1/3 of a second in Git and that makes a pretty big difference. Also, branching is considered a fast operation in Subversion – you will see even more pronounced speed differences in other common operations like log and diff.
However, that is not the real power of Git branches. The real power is how you use them, the raw speed and ease of the commands just makes it more likely that you will. In Git, a common use case is to create a new local branch for everything you work on. Each feature, each idea, each bugfix – you can easily create a new branch quickly, do a few commits on that branch and then either merge it into your mainline work or throw it away. You don't have to mess up the mainline just to save your experimental ideas, you don't have to be online to do it and most importantly, you can context switch almost instantly.
Now, once you have work on a couple of branches, what about merging? If you're from the world of Subversion, you may cringe at that word, 'merge'. Since Git records your commit history as a directed graph of commits, it's generally easy for it to automatically figure out the best merge base to do a 3 way merge with. Most Subversion users are used to having to figure that out manually, which is an error prone and time consuming process – Git makes it trivial. Furthermore, you can merge from the same branch multiple times and not have to resolve the same conflicts over and over again. I often do dozens of merges a day on certain Git projects of mine and rarely have even trivial merge conflicts – certainly nothing that isn't predictable. Raise your hand if you've ever done a dozen branch merges on a Subversion project at least once a week and didn't end each day by drinking heavily.
As an anecdotal case study, take my Pro Git book. I put the Markdown source of the book on GitHub, the social code hosting site that I work for. Within a few days, I started getting dozens of people forking my project and contributing
copy edits, errata fixes and even translations. In Git, each of these forks is treated as a branch which I could pull down and merge individually. I spend a few minutes once or twice a week to pull down all the work that has happened, inspect each branch and merge the approved ones into my mainline.
network graph Why You Should Switch from Subversion to Git
As of the time of writing this article, I've done 34 merges in about 2 weeks – I sit down in the morning and merge in all the branches that look good. As an example, during the last merge session I inspected and merged 5 seperate branches in 13 minutes. Once again, I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to contemplate how that would have gone in Subversion.Becoming a Code Artist
You get home on Friday after a long week of working. While sitting in your bean bag chair drinking a beer and eating Cheetos you have a mind blowing idea. So, you whip out your laptop and proceed to work on your great idea the entire weekend, touching half the files in your project and making the entire thing 87 times more amazing. Now you get into work and connect to the VPN and can finally commit. The question now is what do you do? One great big honking commit? What are your other options?
In Git, this is not a problem. Git has a feature that is pretty unique called a "staging area", meaning you can craft each commit at the very last minute, making it easy to turn your weekend of frenzied work into a series of well thought out, logically separate changesets. If you've edited a bunch of files and you want to create several commits of just a few files each, you simply have to stage just the ones you want before you commit and repeat that a few times.
$ git add file1.c file2.c file3.c $ git commit -m 'files 1-3 for feature A' $ git add file4.c file5.c file6.c $ git commit -m 'files 4-6 for feature B'
This allows other people trying to figure out what you've done to more easily peer-review your work. If you've changed three logically different things in your project, you can commit them as three different reviewable changesets as late as possible.
Not only that, which is pretty powerful in itself, but Git also makes it easy to stage parts of files. This is a feature that has prevented coworkercide in my professional past. If someone has changed 100 lines of a file, where 96 of them were whitespace and comment formatting modifications, while the remaining 4 were significant business logic changes, peer-reviewing that if committed as one change is a nightmare. Being able to stage the whitespace changes in one commit with an appropriate message, then staging and committing the business logic changes seperately is a life saver (literally, it may save your life from your peers). To do this, you can use Git's patch staging feature that asks you if you want to stage the changes to a file one hunk at a time (git add -p).
These tools allow you to craft your commits to be easily reviewable, cherry-pickable, logically seperate changes to your project. The advantages to thinking of your project history this way and having the tools to easily maintain that discipline without having to carefully plan out every commit more than a few seconds before you need to create them gives you a freedom and flexibility that is very empowering.
In Subversion the only real way to accomplish the same thing is with a complicated system of diffing to temporary files, reverting and partially applying those temporary files again. Raise your hand if you've ever actually taken the time to do that and if you would consider the process 'easy' in any way. Git users often do this type of operation on a daily basis and you need nothing outside of Git itself to accomplish it."
Also, I'd still recommend using git or mercurial over svn, even for a single developer. For one, you can use both offline and they are much, much faster than svn, but also, and I'm just gonna repeat myself here - branching and merging is far superior. See the above quote...
I find svn really painful to use. Like I say, using it for this recent project (where we were forced to) felt so painful. It definitely felt like a backwards step to me.
What I would say though is that a really nice version control client can make a big difference. I run on a mac and use source tree: http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ This app has just been released in beta version on windows, and makes the whole process so much more simple. Using this, I really don't think you can argue svn is more simple - I'd argue it's actually more difficult. To setup an svn repo, you require a server and have to mess about setting up the repo. To start a repo in git, you do this: "git init". To start a repo in mercurial you do this: "hg init". It's true that git/mercurial can handle more complex workflows than svn, but it's also the case that for quite simple usage, I think they're actually easier to use + you get the benefits of superior branching and merging.
I'd like more explanation why you find it expensive. It isn't like SourceSafe where branches actually created copies of each file. Instead of only creates copies of files that are actually changed, the others are links to the original files. So I'm not sure I see the "expensive" side of things.
I can still do it all from a command line (if I so desire) or within an IDE. It doesn't take long for the branch to be created and checked out, so I'm just not seeing this description being accurate. Maybe you just had a bad experience because your workflow didn't match with SVN or your branching strategy wasn't up to par with a Centralized Version Control.
Taken from the article I linked to:
Now, once you have work on a couple of branches, what about merging? If you're from the world of Subversion, you may cringe at that word, 'merge'. Since Git records your commit history as a directed graph of commits, it's generally easy for it to automatically figure out the best merge base to do a 3 way merge with. Most Subversion users are used to having to figure that out manually, which is an error prone and time consuming process – Git makes it trivial. Furthermore, you can merge from the same branch multiple times and not have to resolve the same conflicts over and over again. I often do dozens of merges a day on certain Git projects of mine and rarely have even trivial merge conflicts – certainly nothing that isn't predictable. Raise your hand if you've ever done a dozen branch merges on a Subversion project at least once a week and didn't end each day by drinking heavily.
It's not so much branching, as it is merging that is better in DVCS. There's also the fact that when you switch between branches, you instantly switch between them in your working copy, so there's just no messing about. The way merging works in DVCS is almost like voodoo - it just works so smoothly it might as well be black magic at times.
Put it this way - would you have 5 concurrent branches running at the same time in svn and find it trivial to merge them all together at the correct times? What about doing this while at the same time being able to easily commit bugfixes (hotfixes) on the live branch, and merge those same bugfixes into your branches if required?
It takes me less than a second to create a branch in mercurial, and I can switch between branches in a second - every time I switch, it switches my working copy so I can see the branch I'm on instantly. If I want to merge it's easy, and just takes seconds. This is not the experience I've had with svn.
There's no need for the whole "trunk" and "branches" directories in mercurial/git, because you just context switch cheaply and instantly. I can switch to my colleague's branch to see what he's doing and see if his stuff is working, commit any changes I need to make to his branch and then switch back to my own branch in seconds. If I'm happy I can merge these branches whichever way I want, and we can do this even with 10 people working on say 15 branches at the same time if you really want to - all of it done quickly, offline (if necessary) and what's more - cheaply.
You mean to tell me svn import url ./ is not simple? I'm sorry, but how is that much different than git init (I could script an alias called svn init and tada!)? I could do that locally too, if I wanted, but you lose all the benefits of doing it locally, you lose your local machine due to an idiotic command line execution or a dying hard drive and you are still screwed. You need a remote server period.
Your reasons seem purely personal. I don't see anything special about the way it branches or merges that is inherently different to SVN. branching is branching, merging is merging. If you do it often you won't run into many problems with differences in files that result in conflicts. If you do it after a long time inbetween, be prepared for conflicts and resolve them. In both scenarios you will always have the ability to run your project again before committing it to the target branch.
I still think you are caught up in an experience you had due to improper layout/workflow. I'm working in TFS a lot of late which is very similar to SVN workflow and we have 8 teams all interacting with each other. We have no problems with branching and merging (and this system is massive we are talking hundreds of gigs of code/data). I just don't see how recommending something that is designed for a team workflow for a single developer makes sense. He can always convert to git and mercurial when the need arises, but I find it much better to start with something straight forward that is already packaged on most servers (and control panels) before going the route of having to setup/install a system that is meant for so much more.
Plus I could easily name off a dozen tools for SVN that make life easier too, but that really isn't the point.
I must use a much more refined workflow, as I rarely have conflicts with SVN merging.... Oh well. I still don't see the big deal. I don't have to spend hours on end merging with the workflow we have established nor does anyone else... Personally I just think the issues people have with SVN is they did it backwards. They created their web of branches wrong and they are now paying the price for it. If you think about what you need upfront and create it properly there is very little concern with merging, it just works as intended.

Painted Earth
This is the second time I am writing about products from the company Painted Earth. The previous post, concentrating on some of the scrubs that are available, can be found by clicking on the link: Painted Earth. Just a reminder that Painted Earth is comprised of all organic and natural products. They are cruelty free, have no parabens, and do not use animal by-products (vegan).
Here is a photo of all the Painted Earth items I will be reviewing:
I'll start with one that is listed as being a limited edition:
Painted Earth Mineral Silk Radiance Powder
Yes, it's a blush, but looking at it, it's certainly beyond your typical blush. Check out the beautiful compact, with mirror:
slightly different lighting:
If you saw this on display in a makeup counter, you would expect to pay more than Painted Earth is selling it for: $34.50.
The Mineral Silk Radiance, is more of a highlighter, than a blush, per se. I used this on my cheeks, over my blush, and on my brow bone right under my eyebrow. Wait until you see how it will make your eyes really "pop." You will have a nice subtly luminosity.
Worried that this will accentuate any lines you may have on your face? This is formulated with argan oil, so it will help set your foundation and blush, and not settle into fine lines. Rice Silk in the product will help to absorb excess shine and Multi-Mineral Complex and antioxidant Vitamin A, C and E help balance and protect skin from "environmental aggressors." It is talc and mineral oil free. Get it while it's available, as it's listed as being a Limited Edition. There are absolutely no cons to this, except that it's not a permanent item– and I admit, it was so beautiful, I really didn't want to "mess" it up to test it! 🙂
Painted Earth Boo-Boo Gel
The Boo-Boo Gel is one of Painted Earth's best sellers. Fans of this product have written in to add to the list of what this natural and organic gel has been successfully used for: acne, cuts, bruises, mosquito bites, and to prevent razor burn after shaving, You can also try it to reduce the appearance of pores. If you have other suggested uses, let Painted Earth know.
To describe it…it's very cooling, and the texture is sticky, but once you let it soak in to your skin, it dries smooth.
Ingredients: Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera Gel), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, (2s)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic Acid, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green/White Tea), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Oil), Laevo Menthol (Menthol), Organic Arnica Montana (Arnica), Ethylhexyl Glycerin
The Boo-Boo Gel does not have to be refrigerated, but it can be for extra cooling as it soothes.
$25.00 for 2oz/ 60ml (includes free shipping in the US)
Painted Earth Endelible Gel Liner
Here's the warning from Painted Earth: "Lash addicts beware: Painted Earth's Gel liner is highly habit-forming."
No joke, this Liner is amazing. I have Black Cherry to share with you.
Totally gorgeous color!! As you can hopefully see from the swatches, Black Cherry is a stunning color, and even a thin line gives you vibrant color and has a beautiful shine. I love that there is a glitter, even in a thin line.
The eyeliner formula is very smooth, so you can achieve a very precise thin line. Once dry, I had no smudging whatsoever.
It's a nice bonus that Painted Earth supplies an eyeliner brush.
This may seem like a silly reminder, but…don't forget to completely close the gel liner after use so it doesn't dry out!
There are eight other gel liner colors in addition to Black Cherry. Check them all out on the Painted Earth Website.
Each liner is $17.80 (price includes free shipping in the US).
Painted Earth SuperWear Gel Liner
Once you let this eyeliner set, it is true to its name; it is not only smudge proof, but also waterproof. Simply use varying amounts of pressure on the liner for the look you want to achieve. I was able to test the color Noir, but there are also four other colors available.
Painted Earth Lips: Baby Hint of Mint
Baby Hint of Mint has a taste of, yes, mint, and it is not sticky!
The lipgloss is enriched with anti-oxidants, and Vitamin E and is priced at $6.50 There are 19 different colors to choose from at this time on the Website.
As indicated, all Painted Earth products include FREE shipping in the US.
Last thoughts…
When I was asked to review Painted Earth products, I just couldn't believe all the products that were available. Not only should you check out other colors (that I didn't test), but look at the other cosmetics and skincare products available. Painted Earth is great for cruelty free, one-stop shopping!

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College presents... IRELAND!
June 25th, 2010 | SMWC
Ireland Tour Blog
Gwen Tucker, Director of Alumnae Relations, will be posting regular blog entries to this page. Keep checking back to for stories and photos from the tour.
View photos of the tour on flickr.
Also be sure to follow us on twitter for real-time updates from the tour!
National Stud and Kilkenny Castle
Sunday, June 27
Goodbye for now, Dublin. We boarded the bus for our journey south to tour the Irish National Stud: Where strength and beauty live as one. Upon arrival, we followed our tour guide, Kate around the grounds. She was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience great. Highlights of the visit include the young horses running over to the gate for us to lavish attention upon, viewing the Japanese gardens which takes you through the Life of Man and visiting St. Fiachra's Garden.
We learned the Irish National Stud hosts students for summer internships. In exchange for working and learning on the farm, the students receive free room and board. Imaging, a summer in Ireland as an internship – what a great opportunity for Woods equine students!
Then it was off to the bus were we enjoyed a box of Butler's chocolates. We had an unexpected visitor at the hotel in Dublin. A friend of SMWC who lives near Dublin heard about the trip and found us in our hotel. She wished us well and sent us off with a box of the famous chocolates to enjoy. This was a great treat as we set off for Kilkenny to visit the castle.
It was a beautiful ride south to the town of Kilkenny. Upon arrival we set off on a self-guided tour of the castle that has been partially refurbished to its old glory. It is a beautiful property next to a river that the local community utilizes as a park. We witnessed many families taking time on a Sunday afternoon for a picnic in the park that included ice cream for everyone.
We all gathered on the bus for the trip down to Waterford. This again was a beautiful trip to our next hotel, Dooley's Hotel. We then met the group for dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Then a few of us were lucky enough to get a local history lesson from Jack. Jack is an award-winning guide who made the history of Waterford come to life.
Then it was off to bed for another day of exciting adventure.
Exploring Dublin
Saturday, June 26
Saturday morning breakfast in Ireland sure isn't what I'm used to. Instead of cereal and toast, we are served a full breakfast including the strongest coffee you ever tasted. Then it was off for a day full of activities. Kilmainham Jail was an eye-opening experience. The stories shared by our tour guide gave us a real perspective on how life in Dublin and Ireland were during the Potato Famine. Makes us realize how lucky we are to live in modern times. Check out the pictures of the jail on Flickr.
Then it was off to Guinness Brewery. We started the activity off with lunch in the onsite restaurant. Then it was up to the …bar to taste the Dublin beer of choice: Guinness. With paid admission we were allowed one pint of Guinness. We got some great pictures. Then we learned how to pour or stack our own pint as well as how to make an aging barrel. Did you know that the term for barrel makers is a "cooper?"
Shopping at the Guinness store concluded our stay at the Guinness brewery and it was back to the hotel, then an afternoon free to explore more of Dublin. I choose to find Trinity College with fellow adventurers Brian and Brenda. Brenda and I enjoyed the story of the ancient Book of Kells that is on display at the College. I couldn't help but notice some of the dates of documents; some as old as SMWC…1840.
Dinner was at the Abbey Tavern in a small town just outside of Dublin. We ate corned beef and cabbage or local salmon and finished it off with a real Irish coffee. Yum! We enjoyed traditional Irish music along with actual step dancers. I was amazed at the quickness of feet and talented singers. We all had a good time. The best part was when we sang Molly Malone as a group.
On the way home, the singing continued with our bus driver Paddy singing Irish folk songs. Then we were serenaded with the music of SMWC past. We sang and reminisced about the freshman, sophomore, Junior and senior songs then were given a sample by alums. Oh, it was a good time!
Tomorrow we say goodbye to Dublin. We visit the National Stud and Kilkenny castle on our way to Waterford. Till then, Cheers.
Arrival in Dublin
Friday, June 25
Today we arrived in Dublin. The plane ride was smooth. We successfully found our tour guide/coach driver, Paddy. Really, his name is Paddy! After clearing customs and finding our bags, we made it to our bus and set off for a tour of the city of Dublin. We picked up the city tour guide as Paddy had to concentrate on driving. His name was Tommy O'Rilley; quite the character. Our first stop was St. Patrick's Cathedral. What a great way to kick off the tour! It didn't quite take my breath away like stepping into the Big Church on campus, but it came close. Then it was off to our first hotel for the trip, the Mont Clare Hotel. We had time to explore Dublin on our own by taking off individually for afternoon adventures. I joined fellow traveler Jo Vonna and Lynne at a local pub called Kennedy's. Here we experienced our first plate of fish and chips and pint of beer. We also discovered that smashed peas are a great side dish. We'll have to try that one at home.
Early to bed tonight! Jet lag has hit us hard. Till tomorrow, Gwen
On our way to Ireland
Thursday, June 24
Today, SMWC embarked on our journey to Ireland. We have 31 travelers in our group consisting of alumnae, students, staff and friends of The Woods. As we settle in for our 7 hour flight to Dublin, we are getting to know one another. Just imagine if Saint Mother Theodore could have taken an airplane instead of the 39-day voyage upon a ship from France to New York? Guess we shouldn't complain about 7 hours, huh?

Kimi Raikkonen
Q. Firstly, what are your thoughts after taking the win in Abu Dhabi?
We did it! It took us a while, but we did it. All the work by the team came good and we were able to show what we knew all along; we have a car that can compete at the front. And more than that, we can win.
Q. Why do you think the win finally came?
We didn't give up. We had a period where new developments for the car weren't working exactly as wanted straight away and when you have to test new parts during practice sessions it's very difficult to make progress, but we kept pushing. We continued with the exhaust developments we made during practice in Korea and India and the pace was promising all weekend in Abu Dhabi. I was never out of the top ten all weekend and with that in mind I think we had a good idea that we could be competitive if we could just get qualifying right, which has been the big issue all season long. This time though, we got it right.
Q. Is it good that you've answered that 'when's the win coming' question?
I've never cared really what people think - if I don't finish the next race, then they'll think that I'm as bad as that race. I'll just do my thing, and if I'm happy with what I'm doing and it's the best it can be for the team, then that's that. So it doesn't really bother me if people are thinking differently of me now, than what they did three hours before the race.
Q. How are you looking forward to racing at the Circuit of the Americas?
It will be the third new circuit for me this year and most of all, a brand new place for every team and every driver as well. Korea and India were both new to me, but I had seen the previous races on TV. I don't know anything about Austin, just the name Circuit of the Americas. I have always liked to go to new places as it adds a bit of additional excitement. I'm particularly looking forward to this one. I like the American atmosphere, it's just a relaxed environment; they know how to have fun and, most of all, they love racing.
Q. What's your previous experience of racing in the US?
I competed in seven Grands Prix at Indianapolis. Unfortunately the one time I felt I had a really strong car there was in 2005 when only six cars raced and I wasn't one of them. I did get pole position in 2003, but none of the races are ones I remember well. Last year I tried NASCAR. I did two races on the Charlotte oval and I really liked it a lot. That was probably the experience I needed to open my eyes for racing again. After that I really wanted to come back to Formula 1, while it was a tempting idea to do more NASCAR, too. After seeing the excitement of the American NASCAR fans I hope Formula 1 gets people as eager to enjoy our racing in Texas, too.
Q. You made some comments about radio messages from the pit wall in Abu Dhabi - can we expect something like this in Austin?
Yes, apparently there were a few of our radio messages broadcast on TV and I think in those moments you could hear how much I just wanted to keep my head down, do my job and win the race. All I needed to know was the gap to the guy behind me. I think you can probably find other messages from me in the car if you search YouTube; even from my short time in NASCAR.
Q. The win came just after you'd been confirmed for 2013; it's a good endorsement?
It's a pretty good way to show that everyone's made the right choice. We've shown all season how good we can be, and in Abu Dhabi we showed we can win. There is more to come. I promise.
Romain Grosjean
Q. What's your experience of the US?
I've never been to the USA before, not even for a shopping trip to New York! It's going to be a new experience in many ways. In actual fact, I did try to make a quick visit after the Canadian Grand Prix but there wasn't time in the end. I'm sure it will be a big journey of discovery for me; a new country, a new culture and of course of a new race track which is always something I like to experience.
Q. What do you know about motorsport in the States?
NASCAR is of course very famous, and I think we can learn things from the show that it puts on for all the fans, as it's very impressive. The Indianapolis 500 is another event that everybody knows too. I hope that all the fans we meet in Austin are as enthusiastic as seen at these other events.
Q. Lotus F1 Team have been around the circuit with Jérôme - has he told you about it?
I've spoken to Jérôme so I have a little idea of what to expect. On top of that I've worked with simulations of the track, and it's easy for me to play Xbox when I am travelling so I can get an idea from that too. I don't think it will be the easiest circuit to learn and there are a few fast corners which look like they will be a challenge. The first corner certainly looks to be good fun.
Q. This is the first of the third and final back to back pairing over a nine week period to end the season - how gruelling is this schedule?
It has been hard work as we have travelled to a lot of places. Sometimes you wake up in your hotel and you have to ask yourself which country you are in?! This is the same for the whole team; from the drivers, to the mechanics, engineers, hospitality personnel; everyone. We're all looking forward to having a rest at the end of the year, but there are an important two races to go; let's hope we get some more good points.
Q. The last race didn't go as you wanted...
For me it wasn't one of the best days, but for the team it was a fantastic day with the win for Kimi. It was the win we were waiting for and it's unbelievable for the whole team. I was running pretty well and could have finished with good points too. Unfortunately Sergio [Perez] returned to the track in the middle of a battle he was having and he wanted to use the part of the track I was on. There was nothing I could do as you can't make your car disappear. Sergio was penalised for the incident and it did mean we saw another safety car period. Mark [Webber] was caught up in it too, but he didn't have any stern words for me this time.
Q. How good was the feeling for the team to finally have a win?
It was unbelievable for the team. It had looked as if the chance of a win was escaping from us, but we've kept pushing and the top step was a fantastic reward. Kimi did a fantastic job. The car is there and although this race wasn't the one we were expecting to win, we did. Hopefully the good results continue, starting in Austin.

FindMyPast has just released a new collection of criminal records 1817 – 1931, additional records will be added in the coming months to make the complete dataset 1770 – 1934.
The original records are kept at The National Archives and among the records which will be available online today are:
Admiralty registers of convicts in prison hulks between 1818-1831 (ADM 6)
- After trial calendars of prisoners from the Central criminal court between 1855-1931 (CRIM 9)
- Calendar of Prisoners in Home Office records 1868-1929 (HO 140)
- Criminal petitions 1817-1858 (HO 17)
- Metropolitan Police records of habitual drunkards for the period 1903-1914 (MEPO 6)
- Prison Commission records for 1880-1885 (PCOM 2)
A search for Henry Matkin gave the following details
|Henry Matkin (indicted with No. 41 in the Calendar)
|Degree of Instruction
|Name & Address of Committing Magistrate
|J Vaughan Esq. Bow Street Court
|Date of Warrant
|5 May 1885
|When received into Custody
|13 May 1885
|Assaulting Joseph Payne, a police constable acting in the execution of his duty
|Before whom tried
|J D Fletcher Esq.
|Verdict of Jury
|Not guilty
|Previous Convictions
|Sentence or Order of Court
Depending on which type of record you get come up in a search depends on the information given. Some records have accompanying photographs of the accused, sadly there was no such photo of Henry (he is one of my ancestors).
A very interesting set of records to have at our fingertips especially for those who like me have more than their fair share of criminal ancestors!

You should post the youtube archive of your stream with Eternal Rivals, if you haven't already done that somewhere. That was a good listen...
Dont be so hard on yourself you did great tonight!!Good stuff tonight! I've got a lot to work on. As per the usual. XD
Looking forward to the streams.
I like the challenge you presented on stream tonight as well, playing other lesser-used characters. I'll try to do the same from time to time in the lobby.
you shall swap paul with bob.
no1 plays bob
We should start a donation drive so that Jibbo can buy a PS3 and do a double stream on both plaforms.
We should start a donation drive so that Jibbo can buy a PS3 and do a double stream on both plaforms.
Jibbo you coming to CEO dude? I'd like to get some matches with ya
Man I was trying to special step with Hoawrang through ryu fire balls the whole time but I suck at SRK motions on the 2nd player side lol.Asshole Monday report!!
- Whiffed wake up, full screen DP's almost causing me shut the stream down.
- Roknin deciding to walk into WestAB's fireball instead of using Juri's fireballs and carefully zoning
- packedlunch i think his name was??? Non-efficient use of Rolento/Marduk. Further guidance and lab work seems necessary
- Overall, everyone failing at dealing with 2nd Lieutenant WestAB's team composition, Ryu/Rolento.
- I will never again go past 2 beers lol
Thanks to all the participants. Hope you enjoyed this segment of "impolite" mondays haha
- Roknin deciding to walk into WestAB's fireball instead of using Juri's fireballs and carefully zoning
I just.. I like how the fireball look when it hits me...
In all seriousness, really 'preciate the commentary, brutal as it was lol. Also thanks to everyone chipping in with some sound advice as well, I've got some work to put in that lab!
Unfortunately I'll probably only be a spectator for the rest of the week or getting in like maybe an hour at most a couple days, but I'll be all over the stream on Saturdays and Mondays!
Also, side note: aSACKEDlunch
Man, I can't believe I logged off right when Asshole Monday started... will there be more? It's not every day you get a chance to have your play eviscerated by someone in the know.
Credit to WestAB for a sick run last night and to JiBbo for running a flawless stream. I'll be able to join you guys soon, work permitting.
Better name than Asshole Monday? Not likely.
Haha, I just prefer to not have a curse word as a title even though that's what I'll tend to be doing on that segment. I like to think I'm clever enough to figure something out.
About the Paul/Yoshi Tournament, I'm thinking it's better to push it next weekend.. so yeah.. next Saturday.
So who wants to come on skype with me tonight and be my first newbie tuesday guest? Mediocre players welcome also, the point is to teach you something and hopefully everyone watching can pick up on it as well.
Roknin?!?!? Maybe I can teach you how to deal with fireballs aka not walk into them
Hello everyone, I'm here to help. I just want to be friends.
lmao I'll play Yoshimitsu and Paul to make it a little more fair to everyone else.Sign ups:
1. Vulcan Hades (yup, I'm putting you here unless you refuse or cannot attend for other reasons)
Good job! I enjoy watching your streams especially with Ryan Hunter's commentaries, so informative.

Getting boned at work tonight. Wont be doing anything tonight, sorry.

Haha! I doubt I would be a good choice for many reasons, but I will check out the possibilities when I get home to my xbox!Teams Tuesday? Eh!??!

TREES and other vegetation have been cut down ahead of plans to dual Worcester's notorious Southern Link Road.
The £38 million work on improving the A4440 in Worcester to reduce congestion is set to begin in April but some of the preparatory work has already started as these photographs show. Trees and other foliage has been removed before birds nest there so work is not delayed on the project which aims to slash waiting times on the congested bypass.
Peter Blake, head of integrated transport at Worcestershire County Council said: "Work to remove vegetation along the Southern Link Road between the Ketch and Norton Roundabouts began earlier this week. The vegetation needs to be removed ahead of the bird nesting season to enable work to commence on the scheme to improve the Ketch Roundabout with partial dualling towards Norton. Contractors will only be removing what is necessary to accommodate the works and replacement trees will be planted in due course following public engagement on mitigation measures for the Ketch scheme which does not conclude until February 28."
Your Worcester News has previously reported the Ketch island, off the A38, will be doubled in size as the route is part-dualled between the Whittington roundabout and the Ketch roundabout. A railway bridge, owned by Network Rail, which spans the road will also be made wider to allow for an extra lane of traffic underneath. The council says the part-dualling will reduce waiting times by up to 50 per cent, especially for drivers heading towards the M5.

A Haverfordwest man appeared in court today (Friday) following an incident involving a ball bearing gun.
Max Kayode Laurence Huntley, aged 25, of Dew Street, was before Judge Peter Heywood at Swansea crown court for a plea and case management hearing.
He admitted causing criminal damage to the interior walls of a flat in Bridge Street between September 10th and September 23rd.
Huntley, who is bi-polar and has Asperger's, epilepsy and ADHD, also admitted an offence of affray between September 20th and September 23rd.
The charges follow a 26 hour "siege" in Haverfordwest in September 2012. During much of this time the town centre was closed to the public, as Huntley remained on the roof of his flat at Hole in the Wall, Bridge Street.
Dean Pulling, prosecuting, said he would need a week to consider whether to accept Huntley's version of events.
Judge Heywood said he would sentence Huntley on February 15th to allow time for a probation officer to prepare a report into his background.
He told Huntley's barrister, Carina Hughes, that a psychiatric report might also help the sentencing judge.
Huntley was granted bail meanwhile.
