The Marketing Corner: Introducing The Fifth Screen
The mobile space appears to be a very crowded place with various mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets dominating the market.
Consumers play music, surf the internet, and send messages via their mobile devices. Yet, as if we don't already stare at enough screens, a new screen is emerging and gaining traction.
Growing at a rapid pace, in-car technology, a.k.a. the "fifth screen," will be able to provide scale and more consumers will be purchasing vehicles with such capabilities. The market will expand as technology expands, given that more than 105.6 million people drove to their workplaces in 2011, based on U.S. Census.
Americans are always seeking new methods of convenience. Conversely, marketers are always seeking new means to capture consumers' attention. Telematics is a technology method developed for use inside automobiles. Telematics is an auto industry term to describe in-car smartphone data connections and other integrated applications. This technology has been deployed within various car models.
Small business marketers should start tracking this trend to see how using this in-car device can assist in communicating your message. Consumers who purchase vehicles wired with this technology are able to listen to services such as Pandora or Spotify for music enjoyment. Therefore, consideration of these online music services can extend your reach via mobile devices, as auto manufacturers are actively engaging in discussions with new third-party partners. This trend will only increase the number of available models that are wired.
Right now, it is anyone's guess which company will become the leading service provider of in-car media. However, consumers will continue to expand their control of entertainment devices. In the near future, this "fifth screen" will eventually have its role in communication goals.

Earlier today, Marvel put out a teaser for a new comic book with the question "Who Are The Mystery Men?"
No other information was revealed except for the release date of June 2011. And the teaser is rumored to have been drawn by Patrick Zircher.
The characters within the poster appear to be '40s style superheroes, which is reminiscent of The Twelve, an infamous 12 issue miniseries from Marvel that was never finished due to the scheduling issues of writer, J. Michael Straczynski and the artist, Chris Weston.
If you've heard the name Mystery Men before, it may be that you remember the 1999 film of the same name starring Ben Stiller. That team of superheroes was created by Bob Burden (The Flaming Carrot), who is currently working on a revival of those characters.
Mystery Men was once also a generic term for costumed crime fighters, particularly within the DC Universe. DC has also published a series called Mystery Men Comics and is also rumored to a have Mystery Men title in the works for the company's Flashpoint event.
Therefore, the real question seems to be "Who OWNS The Mystery Men?"

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
"I've known film director Jeromy Cox for 20 years or so," says Trophy Wife singer-guitarist Joe MacAskill, "and when he suggested I wear a horse costume for the video ["Move to the Desert"], I pretty much had to say yes."
According to Cox, whose locally shot independent film Gothic Cowboy is nearing completion, "The idea for the video is a group of girls at a school diorama competition, and each band member would be matched with a specific diorama. One girl likes horses and ponies, so her diorama is like a shoebox barn with toy horses, with Joe dressed as a horse, singing and playing guitar."
As it turns out, doing those things in a horse costume is more difficult than it sounds. "My outfit was from Buffalo Breath Costumes," says MacAskill, "and it definitely wasn't designed for musical performance. I had to keep taking the head off to do close-ups playing guitar." The video's school auditorium was actually Swedenborg Hall in Hillcrest, with other costume-clad band members shot around town at the Ruby Room and elsewhere. "All their outfits were handmade and customized.… I would have had an easier time playing if I'd been the mummy or caveman."
Director Cox says he agreed to shoot the music video in hopes it would help him complete his self-made Gothic Cowboy film. "My backwards way of thinking is that I needed some experience with tying up a film project and all the final stages," he says, "so I decided to tackle a smaller project with a number of limitations and deadlines I could set and accomplish. Now, I can apply what I've learned from that experience to tying up the movie. Hopefully. Man plans and God laughs."
The Jeromy Cox–directed video for Trophy Wife's "Move to the Desert" debuts January 23 at Bar Pink.
CAN.NOT.WAIT. ND loves it's Wifey Poo!
Thanks to everyone that showed up. Things went off great and much fun was had by all. Here's a link to the video in case you didn't get to make it to the premiere party at Bar Pink.

I'm glad the Los Angeles Film Festival is showing The Queen of Versailles. It got a lot of buzz at Sundance this year but I wasn't able to see it there. It lived up to all the hype because it is a fascinating, infuriating and poignant documentary.
Jackie Siegel is a cougar-y trophy wife to millionaire timeshare magnate David Siegel. He provides her and their seven kids with a carefree life of extravagant luxury and a full time staff of maids and nannies. He's even building her a replica of the Palace of Versailles on some Florida land. Then the economic collapse of 2008 happens and Jackie is forced to face some realities for which she is ill-equipped.
It would be easy to spend the first act of the movie condescending to the Siegels for their self-indulgent lifestyle. Filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has a more sympathetic approach that gives the film more depth. It's kind of endearing how out of touch the Siegels are. You already know their comeuppance is coming but you've got to love the innocence of their lavish excess. The slow reveal of the Siegel's kitchen appliance is a sly, ironic point of view on Greenfield's part.
Now, Jackie got her computer engineering degree from RIT so she's smart. She quickly got out of the computer industry and went into modeling, so she had that going on for her. You can see the complete evolution of her boobs from a natural A cup to the man-made spheres busting out of every talking head shot Greenfield frames. But hey, she's her own woman, she made her own choices.
Then we learn that David's money bought George W. Bush the 2000 election, so that's not okay. David even admits on camera that he used illegal practices (can't we still do something about that?). Then we get to see the ins and outs of his timeshare business. He preys on the vulnerable and suggestible to afford his lifestyle. The film remains objective but the inherent evil shows through.
David's son Richard runs the Westgate Properties operation in Las Vegas. Richard really believes in the self-importance and charity of their service, that he's saving lives and marriages by giving people the opportunity to afford a yearly vacation. Richard sees his targets as moochers because they're coming for a free weekend and free meals. See, he's a scam artist and scam artists believe everyone else is also a scam artist trying to pull one over on them. It never occurs to him that some people are just content and he's baiting them with the time share meeting and sales pitch.
Richard's grandparents, David's parents, lost all their money gambling in Las Vegas. It seems like the bully mentality, hurt people hurt people. David's going to get revenge for his parents, and becomes even worse than the people who took their money. He turned his time share sales into mortgage securities, and wound up owing $390 million.
So now the Siegels have to make some cuts and it puts a strain on their marriage. They have to let 15 of their maids go (four remain) and the house falls into squalor with dog doodie everywhere. The poor nanny who stays has missed her own kids for decades, and then Jackie dresses her up as a reindeer for a Christmas party. That would be a "South Park" or "Family Guy" spoof of how rich people demean the poor if it weren't all true.
The mediocre reality hits Jackie. It's not harsh reality because it's not like she's out on the street. She just has to fly commercial and rent a car instead of a limo. She actually asks the Hertz desk for a driver because she doesn't know you drive your own rental car. God, I hope she had a driver's license.
They kill some of their exotic animals with neglect, so that's hard to take. She doesn't really stop shopping. The reality of parental responsibility hits her, and that part confuses me. I get overspending and outsourcing the busy work to a staff of nannies, but doesn't maternal instinct kick in at some point? Aren't you hardwired to want to make sure your kids are okay firsthand?
In a way David's the bad guy. Jackie just fell for the seduction of money, but she bears personal responsibility too. You are responsible for the company you keep. The crazy part is he already had the money. He was set. He had every time share condo fully paid for. I might disagree with his practice but the money was real. He went broke, or at least into debt, on the pyramid scheme of securities.
Richard makes a good point saying money was like an addiction. Once they got hooked, it was never enough to just have money. They had to get more, so they tried to turn their money into more money. He equates the lenders with pushers, which may fit the metaphor, but then the same personal responsibility applies. We're told to just say no to drugs, so they should just say no to lenders too.
That's just one of the things the film made me think about. You might just see a black and white story of a selfish rich family getting their comeuppance. But their kids are still stuck with parents who are not equipped to be parents, so that's a level deeper inherently. The way this story, which should be completely unrelatable to most movie audiences, applies to big political, personal and philosophical issues, that's great filmmaking.

Mike Angelidis accepted his teammates' congratulations and then leaned in for a conversation with one of his team's rookies.
The Syracuse Crunch captain, having opened the scoring 9:30 into the first period, wanted to let Tanner Richard know his work on the goal -- battling through a check and making the pass -- wasn't going unnoticed.
"I said 'That's a great second effort, that's all you,'" Angelidis said. "When you see a young guy pulling out a second effort like that, you just try to get him going and give him confidence."
Richard finished with a pair of assists for his first multi-point pro game, as the Crunch topped the Hershey Bears, 3-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
"I thought he was moving his feet a little bit more," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler. "That's the biggest thing for Tanner, when he's stationary he's not effective. When he's moving his feet, he can be really effective."

We had a very quiet room on the first floor in the tiny wing with just 5 rooms. Never had a problem with AC and ours was adjustable and never was hot or cold. Our patio looked onto garden area. We were steps away from the two "living rooms" and the quiet pool(we used this because SAB was crazy!). Short walk to self park area that leads right into the villas. We had great service everywhere @BC. Our villa was ready when we checked in at 12:30pm! CM were very efficient and got many "welcome home"s. Still love my home resort of OKW, but glad we tried BCV.

Karachi, Sept. 14 (ANI): The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has handed a list of 4,752 prisoners to the government who they want to be released, as a first step towards negotiations and peace.
A TTP leader said that two of their commanders met with Pakistani officials in Sararogha, South Waziristan, and handed over the list of prisoners.
According to the Express Tribune, the TTP leader explained that they have given the list of their colleagues imprisoned in different prisons of Pakistan including those on death row.
Another commander claimed that the Taliban have formed a five-member committee that has drafted a list of demands that will form the basis of negotiations with the government.
Member of the TTP political commission, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said that the Taliban leaders are closely monitoring the activities of the anti-dialogue elements adding that certain secular elements, some retired generals and security personnel are opposing the talks and are making attempts to foil the process.
Meanwhile, a TTP spokesperson for South Waziristan, Asimullah Mehsud, confirmed the swap of militants between the Pakistani military and Taliban militants in the Shawal area of South Waziristan Agency. (ANI)

ALAN ARCHIBALD has been left frustrated in his attempts to bolster his Partick Thistle ranks but is still confident his core of experienced players can keep them out of trouble.
The manager completed his fourth signing of the summer yesterday with the capture of Ben Richards-Everton on a one-year contract, although he is now poised to join Airdrie on loan.
Despite also recruiting Ryan Stevenson, Daniel Seabourne and Abdul Osman, Archibald remains in the market for more reinforcements and said: "I'm hoping to get a few players in and I was keen to get another in for this week but it hasn't happened. It's a struggle. We are trying to get good ones but they're hard to come by. It's frustrating.

"We are waiting for them to come to us at times but we won't stop looking as we are very light in numbers at the moment.
"We are looking for a striker and we also need a left back and a bit of cover elsewhere. But we're not worried. We're in a good position because the boys who were here last season have now had a full campaign in the top flight. That stands us in good stead. We have a core of players we can rely on but we need more numbers to help them."
After taking four points from their opening two Premiership fixtures against Ross County and Dundee, Partick host Hamilton tomorrow and Archibald is a big fan of their work ethic. He said: "When we met them in the First Division they were one of the hardest teams to play against because they work so hard."

Discussion in 'Classic Menswear' started by NAMOR, May 12, 2011.
cool thanks. looks like on their site they have extra 25% off some women's stuff.
Additional 25% off selected men's apparel and accessories
Thanks for the tip. I just picked a pair of cotton black watch pants. I've been hunting for a pair for some years.
YES! Thank you!
Grabbed a glorious pair of Peal pebble grain wingtip shoes, which were out of stock in all sizes except mine
Someone grabbed the size ten Edward Green that I had my eyes on. Grrrrr
Each different model of red fleece chinos usually come in "slim fit" and then non-slim fit.
I have found that the only difference is the back pockets and button closure vs tab closure.
Am I missing something? seems like the actual fit is the same...
Can't imagine how slim Red Fleece Slim fit is. Their typical cut is already too slim for me.
Is there a resident SA in this thread? I remember years back some young guy was active and helpful.
Anyone know when the next corporate sale is?

Sale 09PT02 Lot 159 Hendrik-Dirk Kruseman Van Elten American, 1829-1904 Esopus Creek Near Kingston, New York Signed Kruseman Van Elten (lr); titled on an old label affixed to the reverse Oil on canvas 14 1/8 x 22 1/8 inches Born and trained in Holland, Hendrik-Dirk Kruseman Van Elten came to the United States in 1865. He began printmaking a decade later and was highly regarded for his etchings. Exhibiting at the National Academy of Design from 1866 until 1900, Van Elten resided in New York City, but maintained a summer home in Ellenville, New York. In 1873, a critic in The New York Times praised Van Elten's work at the Somerville, Gallery, where the artist evidently planned to auction his paintings in preparation for a trip to Europe. The unidentified critic singled out a work entitled Esopus Creek, with Cattle as "a fairly-worked out composition, showing careful study and good color." [Unidentified author, "The Van Elten Collection," The New York Times , March 2, 1873, p. 5] It is impossible to determine if the present work was the piece that the writer found so satisfactory, nor if it was even included in the exhibition, but Van Elten appears to have depicted the subject on more than one occasion. In August 1874, an etching by the artist entitled Esopus Creek, Near Kingston, NY was published in The Aldine . Esopus Creek has its origins in the Catskill Mountains but empties into the Hudson River near Saugerties, New York. Estimate $3,000-5,000 Wax lined. Scattered inpaint: in the sky; at the upper left corner; at the right edge in the trees; and near the signature. Signature may have been reinforced.

TALLAHASSEE — State gambling regulators are in a bind.
They have indirectly authorized the expansion of gambling in the past six months as lawyers for parimutuels found holes in state laws and opened the door to slot machines at parimutuels across the state and table-game look-alikes at existing race track casinos.
Now state regulators worry that Florida's porous gambling laws also might come with a cost: the loss of the $233 million annual check from the Seminole Tribe of Florida under its gambling compact with the state.
Tuesday, lawyers for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation asked the Legislature for help in closing one of the loopholes that, they fear, threatens the compact with the tribe. They were turned away.
The Senate Regulated Industries Committee voted 7-3 to kill a bill that would have given the department the authority to decide what constitutes a slot machine and would have specifically excluded copy-cat games intended to simulate roulette wheels, craps tables, blackjack and other table games at the state's parimutuels.
After the department imposed new rules on slot machines, a state hearing officer said the department did not have the authority to issue the rule.
The bill, by Sen. Thad Altman, R-Viera, attempted to give the department the authority to issue the rule and target new games that come in "under the ruse of being defined as a slot machine," Altman said.
"We don't believe the Legislature ever authorized them,'' said Tim Nugesser, the department's lobbyist. "We believe that they may violate the compact.''
A legal opinion by the tribe's lawyers says that a Senate proposal to regulate the slot machine look-alikes will violate the compact, but the tribe is not ready to withhold its checks, said Barry Richard, one of the lawyers. If the tribe stops payment, it would also lose its monopoly right to exclusive operation of its games.
But, Richard added, the tribe believes that at Internet cafes around the state, "These are slot machines.''
"They are proliferating at a rapid rate," Richard said. "They are competing with the tribe, and they are illegal."
Under the 2010 compact signed by the state and the Seminoles, the tribe has the exclusive right to operate slot machines outside of Miami-Dade and Broward counties or it can withhold payments to the state.
But the committee agreed with lawyers for the company that makes the games that they operate like slot machines, even though they look like Las Vegas table games.
Meanwhile, with the House and Senate at odds over how to handle the Internet cafes, and the tribe choosing not to challenge the existing law, few expect much to change this session.

I recently read this blog post and I liked it a lot. Here is a quick summary:
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. […] But the fact is, laziness, that much maligned human quality, seen by many as a terrible character flaw, is one of the true mothers of invention. Laziness must not be confused with lethargy. Lethargy comes with an inclination to be passive. But real laziness has no restrictions on the work ethic. Instead, laziness poses this question: isn't there a better way to do this thing?
This is somehow true. It is laziness which drove humans to invent the wheel, not necessity. They used to have donkeys, horses, animals to transport things. So they didn't "need" a transportation way. The same reasoning applies to the invention of cars or planes etc. The 'need' was always to do things more efficiently, faster, 'lazier'. This is somehow reflected by our lazy-intelligent nature.
In evolution theory, a lazy creature – which uses more efficient ways to solve things, has an evolutionary advantage (in term of fitness function) over his/her counterparts. Because as simply as this: He/she will use less energy/food/time to get the same benefits as the others.
Now I am not talking about the freeloaders, who live like mushrooms sucking energy from others while doing nothing. These individuals, while they get the benefits of laziness for themselves, they harm their surrounding in at least the same amount of benefits they get. The group they belong to is harmed globally more than the benefits they get individually (related story here). This is not a sustainable business; because this harm will be reflected to themselves sooner or later.
The ultimate laziness for an intelligent creature, is to invent another (artificial) intelligent creature to do the job of researching better solving problems at his/her place. If one day, we invent a machine that is really like us, truly intelligent (without considering the ethical problems that arises – like slavery; and I am not sure if true intelligence can exist without true consciousness), we won't need to invent anything else anymore. We can be lazy forever.
However, if we accept the theory that laziness is at the heart of intelligence. This AI machine will be lazy as well by definition of intelligence; It will try to solve its tasks in the most efficient way for itself. It will end up: introspecting itself, understanding its own behavior and its own intelligence and recreating a Meta-artificial Intelligence to serve it. The loop can go forever. This is the strange loop of laziness at the heart of true intelligence theory: an intelligent creature will try to create an artificial-intelligence which will try to create a meta-artificial-intelligence, which will try to […], to solve problems efficiently, lazily 🙂
This whole process is known by: "Intelligence explosion".

For the past few months, Facebook has been brewing a search engine that could change the way people find things. Now Facebook has it, with graph search. To be launched soon, graph search is a friend-based search engine that connects users to places all over the social network via friend recommendations and activity. Users can sign up to get on the wait list to be among the first to try it by clicking here.
What is graph search? It's a live search bar that allows users to find what their friends have liked or recommended, as well as photos of friends. While this can be done manually, graph search makes it exponentially easier.
For instance, users can search for photos of their friends by location, whether it's specific (AT&T Park) or general (at a theme park). Users can also search for friends of friends based on location, education, relationship status, and several other filters.
People can also discover music, movies, TV shows, and other interests based on what their friends like. If you type in something generic such as, "shows my friends like," graph search will return with a bevy of results — not just links to the shows' Facebook pages, but clips, too. There are several filters that users can take advantage of, such as friends in California who went to U.C. Berkeley and like sushi. Graph search has also integrated Bing technology, so users can also use graph search as a general search engine.
It's a little clunky to describe, so here's a video to show what graph search can do:
Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said graph search will be slowly rolled out in beta. It will be available to select users as early as Tuesday, but Facebook wants a slow rollout to gauge interest and to see how people use graph search.
Readers: What do you think of graph search?

Breast cancer patients should know their reconstructive options
December 21, 2010
According to the Centers for Disease Control, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women, and more than 40,000 patients died from the disease in 2006. With the number of women undergoing treatment, The Huffington Post reports that it is crucial that women know all their options for breast reconstruction.
Experts say that one popular technique involves taking muscle, fat and skin from the lower abdomen to the chest, to create a new breast. Patients may choose this technique because it does not require an implant; however, there are a number of disadvantages because of the prolonged surgery time and the possibility of flap failure.
Many women choose to have breast reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy. This not only results in one less operation and an overall shortened recovery time, but may also expedite psychological benefits.
Recent research supports the notion that immediate instead of delayed reconstruction is best for the patient. A retroactive analysis reported in the European Journal of Surgical Oncology in 2000 found that 95 percent of women who underwent immediate reconstruction preferred the technique.
Breast reconstruction is a team approach that will require a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the reconstruction after the cancer surgeon has completed the mastectomy. It is crucial to go over the options with both doctors, and understand the risks and outcomes of the surgery.

Reviewers' grade: A
Part amateur art film and surreal nightmare, David Lynch's "Inland Empire" is guaranteed to upset the most jaded of moviegoers. Lynch familiars Laura Dern and Justin Theroux are movie stars Nikki Grace and Devon Berk, who win roles in a movie to be directed by Kingsley Stewart (Jeremy Irons).
Problem is, the film has been attempted once before, with murderous results. Nikki finds her life starting to melt into that of the movie role, and things only get stranger.
Jagged filming and editing and bizarre, plotless sequences make watching "Inland Empire" quite upsetting. Characters from Lynch's Internet-only series "Rabbits" are included in the film, which pushes it into the outermost reaches of the creeposphere. It's a little masochistic to endure this movie, but it's never boring and definitely unlike anything ever made.
Head to the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Noble Theater this weekend and see what the multiplexes are missing. R

Given that most people setting up a monitor are quite happy to choose D65, I'd suggest that the D50/D65 choice is not unreasonable.
The product is (AFAIK) not aimed at someone who would go to the lengths of setting a specific WB, and if you did, would you really be using an iPad for colour critical work? I have rather higher spec kit for that ;-)
I've never bothered with anything other than D65 on my MacBook Pro for example, and I'd be happy if the iPad got close to that.
ColorTRUE at least makes a start
It seems that your requirements are indeed well above what it offers... ;-)I'd still maintain that for most people who get a monitor calibrator, the idea of setting a custom WB is way beyond what they will ever use. The whole idea of altering WB to get any form of match is vastly beyond the perceived needs of most owners of such kit.
PS Does anyone have a use for the soft proofing option in the X-Rite ImageGallery viewing app?
Yes, it's yet another marketing based "solution" in search of a problem. Did you ask X-rite what it's supposed to do that's useful?
Yes, but answer came there none ;-)
So in your mind, the product is a success and it's OK for the masses even if it doesn't do what it's supposed to do and even if the masses find the iPad and all their other calibrated devices do not match? Why calibrate anything in the first place?
That's why many would happily use a ColorMunki Smile.
Can someone here show us what "a huge mismatch" looks like by posting a photo of this mismatch so we know just how useless this product is?
ColorTRUE is the free color management app that delivers true desktop to tablet and phone screen matching from X-Rite Pantone, the global leader in color calibration and profiling. Now, no matter where you are, you can show your photos with absolute confidence knowing they are completely color accurate.
I suppose that a lot depends on what you want/expect from different types of kit, and how it meets your particular needs.
I've never bothered with anything other than D65 on my MacBook Pro for example, and I'd be happy if the iPad got close to that. I can see who X-Rite is aiming this particular (free) product at and it ticks quite a few boxes.
It does lighten up the shadows quite a bit and that's the best part of it if you have a very contrasty screen
Aside for Keith Cooper:Have you redone the B&W scans on your site for use with the newer i1 PhotoPro 2 software and newest Colorport? Seems if I run your 21-steps in Colorport it won't do all 21 steps as it is looking for a second column. I get about 18 is all in first row, then 3 in second column that are not read. Haven't gotten any of the test images in your download to work right as yet.Also, the newest iProfilier (v1.5.4) seems to have some issues reading a B&W step-wedge. If you do a scan of the whites, and then do a spot reading of the same whites, they are different - by a lot too! Maybe 8 points in Lab.

Organizers of the UK's biennial Farnborough International airshow are solidifying exhibitors for the event's new "business aircraft park." The show-within-a-show is to be staged over the first three trade days of the main event (July 19 to 21) in Farnborough Airport's old business enclave.
The former TAG Aviation terminal will be available as a reception area and meeting rooms for the business aviation contingent. Since the last Farnborough show in 2002, TAG has opened its new business aviation center on the northwest side of the London-area airfield, and visiting (as opposed to exhibiting) business aircraft will be handled at this facility.
Exhibitors will be able to show their aircraft on a dedicated static park and can host visitors in chalets or outdoor exhibits. Customer demonstration flights can be made between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and the business aircraft will still be eligible to participate in the daily flying display of the main Farnborough Air Show.
According to Amanda Stainer, head of exhibitions with the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC), business aviation companies have indicated that their presence at Farnborough International has tended to be overshadowed by the strong air-transport and defense elements at the show. She conceded that Farnborough–and other major airshows–have been losing business aviation exhibitors for this reason and so the SBAC decided to create a tailor-made exhibition package to give them a reason to stay. Another factor is that business aircraft manufacturers have sometimes found it difficult to commit their new models to remaining at Farnborough for the full seven days of the event.
But why would business aviation firms want to exhibit at Farnborough or Paris, now that they have their own dedicated event in the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE)? The Geneva-based event is generally held in May–just a month before Paris and two months before Farnborough.
Stainer insisted that Farnborough can deliver a much broader visitor base than EBACE, which is largely directed at existing business aviation professionals. Her contention is that Farnborough attracts numerous VVIPs, government, top corporate executives and wealthy individuals who may be prospective new business aviation customers. A dedicated shuttle service and courtesy cars will transport visitors between the main show site (about three quarters of a mile away) and the new business aircraft park. "What we offer is a genuine global audience for business aviation and the real prospect of attracting new customers," Stainer told AIN.
Civil helicopters might also be featured in the business aircraft park. SBAC is also looking to sign up fractional ownership and block charter providers, although it is questionable whether the new area will be extended to all general aviation aircraft.
The decision faced by manufacturers such as Bombardier, Embraer, Boeing and Airbus, which have both business aviation and airline products to show at Farnborough–is whether it ultimately makes sense to split their presence at the event between the main site and the business aircraft park. Bookings for the new event are expected to be firmed up this month.
The cost of exhibiting aircraft in the business aircraft park ranges from £450 ($810) for aircraft weighing up to 1,100 pounds to £5,200 ($9,400) for those of between 88,000 pounds and 132,000 pounds. Outdoor booths are priced at £80 ($145) per square meter, with a minimum exhibit size of 15 square meters. Chalets for the three-day event are priced at £20,000 ($36,000).

I did this in Oct. of 99 with my Italian friend Matteo, and the rock was so cold I couldn't feel my fingers and hands--good thing I let him lead it. ;-) The crux was pretty tricky for a 5.7, just as the final Cozyhang/Owl roof is.
This is number 1 in the picture.

|Rick - Climbed with friend Chris on 5/18/01. Chris led P1 and I led P2. Good pro everywhere, but crux is kind of funky. I just reached high, smeared, and willed myself over.

|Did this route on Feb 16 2001 2 days after a snow storm. There was still some snow/ice in the bottoms of the cracks at the begginning which made the already scarybeginning trickier, but it was still doable. I'd recommend parties wait until the sun has definitely cleared it off. Also, Rossiter's guide recommends a belay at the top of the initial ramp which is pretty mis-matched. I think a better spot is to belay after the middle "funky" roof section where there is a sloping flaring crack at your feet and a hand crack that shoots directly left. That breaks the pitches up nicely. If you used long runners in appropriate places you could link it all into one pitch. It's definitely fun, though.

|I wasn't aware that people do this in two pitches. The route was pointed out to me from the road and it goes quite naturally in a single pitch with a 50 m rope. Yes, use long slings in the appropriate places, but as a trad leader you already know that, right? Breaking it up seems somewhat pointless.

|Morning shade makes this a good climb for a hot day. Doing the climb in two pitches facilitates communication if you've got a less-experienced partner. If the drainage ditch is dry, the quickest descent goes down the backside and angles right to the tunnel between the 3rd and 4th buttresses. Watch out for poison ivy. Grope your way through the cool depths of the tunnel (dry with one wet spot on 8/10/02) and walk the pipe back to the start.

Done yesterday after work. Great climb on cool days as the sun keeps you warm. Wonderful lead as the crux (start of the second pitch) protects well. It looks much more intimidating than it really is. Stem and work your feet up until you find enough to grab and go. Actually, for some odd reason, I tend to struggle mentally more on the start of the first pitch. Maybe this is harder given a fall would be a bit dangerous. It just seems a little bulgy and requires trusting the feet with only a small finger hold/crack with the left hand and slopers for the right hand.
I agree with Ron and I always go through the tunnel even yesterday when the water was six inches above my knees. Its actually is good therapy after your feet have been in hot climbing shoes.

|The action photo below states the climber is on the P1 belay of Standard Route. This is incorrect, he is actually belaying from the top of P1 on the West Face variation route, which is down to the south of the Standard route on the 3rd Buttress.

|We did this route this a.m. and went right (15 feet or so ) of the stemming crux out on to an slighty overhanging face with some big vertical cracks and two old fixed pins. Kinda hard but well protected.Is this part of another route?

|Take the + in this 5.7 rating seriously. While the crux isn't too tough to pass with lots of stemming, it is pretty steep and stout for a 7.

|I don't feel sandbagged at all on this and, in fact, find it only half a grade harder than east slab of Dome across the way and even then only at the crux. But I do it a little to the right of the white line after the crux. Try this and then east slab of dome. If you can send it then maybe the ratings are correct. (After all, it could be just me!)

|AC of 6/12/04 - it's just you. The crux alone is at least two number grades harder than anything on the East Slab. That said, the Standard Route is very well protected throughout and is mucho fun! Without any topo we mistakenly traversed left under the second (after crux) roof and up a left facing corner with a crease to the top - felt consistant with the 7 grade.

|The crux on the second pitch is definitely easier for taller people. I lead this route with no difficulty (I'm 6'0"), but my partner on a recent trip (5'3") really struggled, and she leads at a higher grade than I do. As with any roof-ish crux, the key is getting your feet high, but to do that, you must stem wide, and I find myself doing pretty acrobatic splits at this crux.

rating: 5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b
That pipe at the bottom is really leaky. Got my shoes and rope all wet before I even started. [Definitely] get geared up in the flat area to the left below the descent gully.
Also, I got my rope caught on a [piece] of cable hanging out of the pipe when pulling the rope up at the top of the second pitch. This led to me free soloing to the top, walking down, unsnagging the rope at the bottom, climbing back to the top, down climbing back to my anchor, and continuing the climb. Is there a better way to handle this situation or avoid it all together? I need a giant hook to stack my rope when I pull it up or something. Maybe a number 6 Camalot would do the trick..
That being said, I really like taking the cave back to the packs. Even when it's full of water. The down climb in the gully seemed a bit scary, almost rappel worthy (or did I miss the rap anchor as well?)

|I felt the crux of the first pitch was less secure and more dangerous than the roof crux on the second pitch. Wide stemming on the roof keeps this climb feeling like 5.7. I'd give it 2.5 stars, but I rounded up.-s

|That profound stem on the second pitch, as demonstrated by the photo of Phil Broscovak, is a little rough if you are around 5'6" or so. There are a few decent face holds off to the left that can help the height-challenged climber shimmy up this section.

|Fun route. I am 6' even, and found the crux to be full of secure stems that made placing pro easy. It is easy to protect the crux with as much pro as you feel like putting in. Definitely able to do the route in one pitch with one 60 m rope.

|Hopped on Standard Route today. It was quite windy but had some sunshine, too. The crux sure seemed like 5.8 or 8+ to me today...maybe it's just getting back into the swing of things after long winters nap?! Snow is all melted off at the water pipe thanks to the warm weather.

|It sounds as if Matt Chan did what I did today - that is did the first pitch of Standard Route and then linked this up with the second pitch of Monster Woman. I don't know if it merits it, but I have put this route up as Standard Variation as I am sure that many people have done what both Matt and I have done. It is a nice line, but more consistently 5.8.

It can be kinda hard to find the start of this route because there are a lot of really fun looking lines along the pipe. Look on the left for a long chain bolted from the rock at eye level and slightly left and then another large bolt directly on the route.
Did this yestarday and it was definitely a lot of fun although I'll admit the crux was somewhat intimidating.

|Great climb -- but I think the difficulty is height dependent. Not too bad for me (5'10"), but very challenging for my wife (5'2") trying to stem up under the "roof" at the pitch two crux. Also, the river noise was very loud with the high water -- very tough (okay, impossible) to communicate from belay station on top to climber at the crux on the 2nd pitch. Nevertheless, a great climb!

|Good climb. Crux at start of p2 is great, but rest of climb is a bit dull. Spice it up by climbing off immediately to the left of the V-ramp that starts p1 - 5.7G as opposed to 5.5 or 5.6. Both pitches have excellent pro across the range to 3". The slightly slabby face at the very end looks wicked fun but clearly run out, so I'm scared -- probably 5.9?

|Instead of starting the climb from the left of the small roof, we started from just to the right of the pipe cable and small roof, standing just between the water pipe and the rock. Then traverse left immediately after getting onto the rock.

|Yesterday morning I on-sight soloed this route. After warming up on East Slab, I hiked down and approached the Elephant Buttress. Balancing my way down the pipe, I found myself at what I assumed to be the beginning. I booted up and entered the relatively dicey movement into and over the small, initial roof. Once up the thin, fun crack and over the second small roof, I was let loose onto the slab that coincided the crux roof. My first attempt of the roof was thwarted by the lack of vision. My confidence waned under the unknown. I returned to the slab to gather motivation and visualize, despite the assumption I would eventually have to back down. I decided to, at the very least, try the exposed, overhang (topped with a ledge) to right of the route. I hoped it would be a simple powerful move to crank over into freedom. Yet after hand traversing over the void, I found no graceful, safe solution. I quickly traversed back onto the route and de-pumped. In the process of retreating, I had this feeling of an unexplainable pull towards and up the crux. I found the stem. I saw the sequence. I told myself not to fall and to stay on, while I cautiously discovered the way. The rest of the climb went smoothly and was great fun. I believe the only reason I stood on the summit is because I truly imagined myself there and nowhere else. One's mind is everything.

|I climbed this two days ago, and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, we were running out of light and got a cam stuck 20 feet from the summit...so we had to leave it. My friend went back the next day to retrieve it, and it was gone. If you found it, please contact me, so I can get it back. Thank you. email@example.com

|At 6'4" I thought this route was difficult at the crux. Maybe I am too tall or just suck at stemming. I stayed left of the fixed pin. I would say it's harder than 5.7 but a really fun route though.

Please note that in the "DH" column, the player listed is the player that has been added or removed from the lineup, not necessarily the player in the DH slot. For example, if the Phillies move Dominic Brown to DH and put Tony Gwynn Jr. in the OF, then I will list Gwynn Jr. in the "DH" column because he is the player who is gaining at-bats.
Last Week
AL at NL: None
NL at AL:
Rickie Weeks got a rare start against a righty and he did so from the DH slot. Carlos Gomez then got a semi rest at DH with Logan Schafer getting a start in centerfield. Against the lefty, the Brewers put Martin Maldonado at catcher, Jonathan Lucroy at first base, Mark Reynolds at third base, and Aramis Ramirez at DH. There were no starts for Lyle Overbay in this series.
Drew Stubbs got two starts against righties with Corey Dickerson moving to DH. Michael McKenry got a start at catcher, giving Wilin Rosario and Justin Morneau semi-rests at first base and DH, respectively.
This Week
AL at NL:
Baltimore has been rotating Steve Pearce, Delmon Young, and David Lough in the left field/DH spot not being occupied by Nelson Cruz on any given day. All three will sit and Cruz will start in left field.
The Angels minus the DH equals C.J. Cron not in the starting lineup.
With Jon Singleton and Chris Carter swinging figuratively hot bats, I think that Singleton starts both games against the righties and Carter starts the game against the lefty.
Maybe David Ortiz gets a rest absent the DH, but with both of these tilts being night games and the second being on ESPN, I think Ortiz gets his third and fourth starts at first base. As a result, Napoli will be moved to pinch-hitting/hanging over the dugout rail/chatting with teammates and coaches on the bench.
No DH usually means no Billy Butler; however, Eric Hosmer just landed on the DL. Consequently, Raul Ibanez will lose a start at DH against a righty and Christian Colon and/or Erik Kratz will lose starts against the lefties.
Several weeks ago we saw Nick Swisher relegated to bench duties when an away game at a National League park mercilessly stripped the Indians of the DH. My guess is that this will happen again come the two-game series at Cincinnati.
NL at AL:
Donald Lutz could see time at DH (a potential great moment for our species). Another option would be to start Chris Heisey in left field and move Ryan Ludwick to DH.
How we have seen the Braves utilize the DH and what I think will happen are the same: Ryan Doumit starts at DH for the night game and Evan Gattis gets to stay in the lineup at DH for the following day game.
When the Padres need a DH, they start Carlos Quentin in that role.
When the Dodgers need a DH, they start their extra outfielders; that means Carl Crawford against righties and Scott Van Slyke against lefties.
Next Week
AL at NL:
The Tigers will most likely sit Castellanos, move Miguel Cabrera to third base, and start Victor Martinez at first base. Cabrera currently has eight games played and six games started at the hot corner. Martinez has 20 games played and 18 games started at first base.
Per notes from "This Week," David Ortiz probably starts at first base and Mike Napoli probably sits. These could potentially be Ortiz's fifth and sixth games played and started at first base in 2014.
Most likely, Adam Dunn starts his fifth and sixth games in the outfield and Alejandro De Aza sits.
Alberto Callaspo has started both games at DH since the trade deadline. I think he moves to second base and Nick Punto and Eric Sogard sit.
NL at AL:
With Paul Goldschmidt on the DL, this is even uglier than before. I think that Roger Kieschnick or Andy Marte gets a start against the righty and that Tuffy Gosewich gets a start at catcher against the lefty with Miguel Montero moving to DH.
My guess is that Darin Ruf starts at first base and Ryan Howard starts at DH.
For the Pirates, DH usage will depend on a number of factors. Mainly, Starling Marte's timetable to return from his concussion and Pedro Alvarez's throwing problems. My guess, as of right now, is that Josh Harrison starts at third base, Alvarez moves to DH, and either Marte or Travis Snider starts in the outfield.

A.J. Schnack
John Hickenlooper, Chantal Unfug, Allison Sherry, Curtis Hubbard, Kevin Scott, Barbara Cohen, Mark Cohen
(IFC Films)
US theatrical: 4 Jun 2010 (Limited release)
Obama's been elected and his calls for hope and civility are continually dashed, even by his supporters. In its finale, Convention restores some of the sense of pride and history behind his nomination and what's come since, but it's easy for that feeling to seem nostalgic.
—A.J. Schnack
"What worries me is we don't know what we don't know," says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. "A lot of really smart people spend a lot of time on something and you're never gonna perceive everything." His philosophical roundabout is occasioned by the 2008 Democratic National Convention. And indeed, as he and select workers and protestors plan for the event in Convention, it becomes clear that, as daunting as the broad outlines of the event may be, some details remain just beyond anyone's full control.
The film's conception and structure reflect an appreciation of the multiple moving parts: filmed by a crew of estimable makers (Steven Bognar, Daniel Junge, Laura Poitras, Julie Reichert, Wayne Robbins, Paul Taylor, A.J. Schnack, and David Wilson), and pulled together by Schnack, the documentary—which opened 4 June at New York's IFC Center—follows assorted individuals as they try to anticipate and then deal with surprises. All of the contingents—local government representatives, Denver-based reporters, protestors, and the party officials—have their own ideas of successful orchestration, their own concepts of "hope and change," the eventual national campaign's much-repeated themes. And each potentially conflicts with the others. The movie shows how they more or less come together in a dramatic show of "hope," as Barack Obama ends his acceptance speech at Invesco Field. It also suggests that, before and after that moment, actual "change" remains an impossible ideal.
Indeed, some hope is premised not on changing, but on maintaining recognizable machinery. Urged to deliver "the best convention ever," Katherine Archuleta, the Lead Planner for the DNC, notes, "The pressure for me and this team, it's pretty intense." This pressure is figured in familiar ways: close-ups of faces gazing into computer monitors, fingers tap-tapping on keyboards, and long shots of crowds in need of controlling, in streets, hallways, and arenas. Some early encounters suggest tensions, some specific, most utterly mundane: "How tough is it to convince people there's not going to be trouble?" asks a reporter at a pre-event press conference with major local players, while the mayor takes up his calm-and-reassuring pose. Here Curtis Hubbard, political editor at the Denver Post, underscores what's obvious: "The point for convention organizers… is they want to manage the story throughout. And they want the headlines to be good headlines that are on the messages they choose."
As the film reiterates, the relationship between planners and reporters constitutes one strand of tension. At the Post, writers are reminded that even though they have assignments, and so, daily information flows from official sources, "That doesn't preclude you all looking for news." Allison Sherry nods, noting that she's on the "Hillary Clinton delegate watch." Her day will include "a candlelight vigil, which I find totally macabre," she says, "Because she's not dead yet." But even as she heads out for this six o'clock event, she's aware there will be stories that aren't scheduled; still, her most distressing experience in the film is a run-in with editors while she's trying to write up a story she's reported on the convention floor.
Trying to put together interviews with delegates and party officials (that is, scripted material mixed with seemingly genuine responses from within the rank-and-file), Sherry is hard-pressed to come up with storylines that don't deliver directly to expectations. Hillary supporters want a floor fight, so their 18 million cracks in the ceiling exact a cost from the Obama campaign, while party orchestrators want a display of unity. None of this can be "news," the sort she's been told to look for, but still, the headlines need to show that the Post can keep up with larger, national organizations (say, the New York Times), and so prove it is the local paper that might survive (as rumors are circulating that one of Denver's two major dailies is about to go under) . And so the film cuts to Sherry's headlines (for the first night, "Michelle's View," or after Hillary's speech, "Time to Move On") to indicate each day's passing as well as her efforts to sort out the information she's gathered. The side-story that
At the same time, pretty much, Special Assistant to the Mayor Chantal Unfug is repeatedly struck by the singular nature of her task. "This is the most complex political, sensitive, intriguing experience I've ever had," she says, and I will never ever forget this time of my life." To the end of ensuring she makes it through that experience, she learns to ride the mayor's scooter, zipping and lurching under antic circus music. Unfug is repeatedly shown on the go: when she's not on the scooter, she's string along with cell-phone to her ear or cabbing until she can't (stuck in traffic, she hoofs it to Invesco on the last day, then catches a ride on a golf cart: "You are a star!" she tells the driver who saves her).
Even as it's not always clear where Unfug's perpetual motion is taking her, the film focuses on efforts to contain the movements of protestors. City security officials watch demonstrators on monitors, trying to guess where they're headed and guide them where they won't disrupt the preferred "headlines." Among the protest leaders, Mark and Barbara Cohen of "Recreate 68" make clear their own hopes to do just that, to disrupt. Their nostalgia is plain in their organization's name, as is their desire to stage a kind of chaos, and the contradiction in terms looks integral to both concept and effect.
Organizers decide early on that each day's events—marches, rallies, speeches—will feature a "theme," like "anti-war" or "political prisoners." As some protests lack numbers ("These are the worst protestors ever!" scoffs one security worker), others are propelled by undeniable personal energies. Some events are affected by infighting among the groups involved, others devolve into milling, and still others are swooped up by other organizers, who have more surveillance technology and cagier planners. When the anti-war group is invited to meet with Obama's people, everyone feels they've attained a goal: "This is the greatest protest I've ever been to," enthuses one. "We actually achieved something and no one got hurt." That this meeting occurs off camera is to the film's necessarily ironic point. Less splashy than simple declarations and appealing slogans, negotiations and compromises take place out of sight.

Perfect bread every time
The Spring Oven is an ovenware pot designed for bakers. Baking bread with steam helps your dough rise and gives you a good crust. However I found generating steam in a home oven was quite difficult and rarely that effective.
The ovenware pot I've designed can give you bakery quality results within a low standard home oven.
Using a traditional ceramic slipcasting process, each Spring Oven is made to a very high quality using high-fired locally sourced terracotta. See the video below of a Spring Oven being made.
What is it about The Spring Oven?
The best bread is lovingly crafted through a process of combining flour water and salt and working with a dough through the fermentation process where it develops its flavour. It is such a shame to create the perfect dough and be let down in the baking by the limitations of home ovens.
Steaming in a normal home oven is difficult. Many recipe books suggest adding pots of water to create steam while baking. However I have found its oven best to bake bread covered at the start which cuts off the dough from the oven steam.
The Spring Oven is the solution. A channel of water in the base of the pot allows steam to be created within the pot while the lid is on! Keeping the lid on helps trap as much heat at possible while creating the high humidity conditions that professional deck ovens have.
The Design
The Spring Oven is designed with to make baking at home easier and more effective. Here are just a few of the considerations that make the Spring Oven the perfect baking pot;
- 5mm thick high fired terracotta build, exceptional for heat retention and radiation to create a high heat baking environment.
- Only 2.5kg (5.5lb)! Comparing this to an equivalent cast iron pot that weighs nearly 6kg (13lb)
- Platform size perfect for 500g round loaf. The majority of online bread recipe's work to 500g.
- Conical shape designed to distribute steam around the inside of the pot. The inside shape of the lid is ideal for condensed steam to run off back into the water channel.
- The lid overlaps onto the base providing a seal that prevents the escape of steam.
- Universal handleless shape; the Spring Oven doesn't have to be a particular orientation you can lift it from any position.

The Spring Oven is designed to fit in any home oven, you may have to move some shelves around but it will fit. If you're wanting to get a better idea here are the sizes below.
Who am I
I am Patrick Kendal, 26 years old, a one man band in this project with a big dream. I studied product design at university where I designed this product. I have since left my job in furniture design to pursue this project. I love baking bread (particularly sourdough) and I wish for The Spring Oven to be considered the best pot to use at home for high quality bread baking.

Homo Simpleton
From Eschaton
In Bremer's account, the President was seriously interested in one issue: whether the leaders of the government that followed the CPA would publicly thank the United States...."It's important to have someone who's willing to stand up and thank the American people for their sacrifice in liberating Iraq."
Bush was obsessed with crowds cheering ang throwing flowers at Margaret Thatcher's feet as British ships returned from the Falklands. His biographer (at least until his handler's fired him for being too frank and gave his notes to Karen Hughes to finish the book) said,
"Bush's circle of pre-election advisers had a fixation on the political capital that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher collected from the Falklands War. Said Herskowitz: "They were just absolutely blown away, just enthralled by the scenes of the troops coming back, of the boats, people throwing flowers at [Thatcher] and her getting these standing ovations in Parliament and making these magnificent speeches."
The entire interview can be found at Common Dreams
Particularly chilling was the advice of Cheney: "Start a small war. Pick a country where there is justification you can jump on, go ahead and invade."
Why haven't we impeached these two incompetent monsters?

Thousands flock to UI Field House to 'connect culturally'
The talking and pounding sound of the Yahoo drummers. The bagpipes of the Scottish Highlanders. A massive dance fired up by the music of the Orquesta de Jazz y Salsa Alto Maiz.
These were some of the sights and sounds that spiced up the 11th annual Cultural Diversity Festival. Warren Slebos, organizing committee co-chair, said the events attracted more than 4,000 people to the UI Field House on Feb. 20. This years theme was "Getting Culturally Connected."
The festival attracted everyone from UI faculty, staff, and students to members of the community. More than 50 programs promoted both domestic and international diversity during the five-hour event.
UI law professor Nicholas Johnson came to the festival with several generations of family members including his wife, two granddaughters, and a great-granddaughter.
"The work of all of us at the University should be focusing on diversity and globalization and the impact of all cultures on our learning as well as the impact that we have globally on other cultures," Johnson says.
Education graduate student Krishna Das, who is also the international liaison for the Office of International Education, College of Education, said he enjoyed the "vibrancy of the atmosphere, the solidarity, and the amount of diversity, which is fascinating."
Das added his hometown of Bombay has an international flavor thanks to the students who go there to study, but he "had never experienced diversity to such a large extent."
While admitting that there is no set definition for diversity, "just the same way there is no precise definition for human rights," Das said these concepts are key in educating a progressive human being.
"If a child is introduced to diversity from an early age, I believe
it does broaden his or her perspective," he said.
The festival also featured a food fair, an international multi-media fashion show, educational programs and various booths with arts and crafts demonstrated in front of an actively involved audience. Enjoying an American-Indian taco for lunch, UI student Melissa Mohammeds seven-year-old daughter Aisha said she wanted to hear more about other countries and cultures, and "what happened to some peoples a long time ago in wars."
Iowa-based American-Indian artist Holly Honken brought plaster, paint, and transparencies to her booth at the festival and worked on an artistic project while answering questions from people who stopped by to watch her.
"Its a little different trying to create art in front of people, but its a real joy to be able to talk about how I do it," Honken says. "Its really about process, and its a lot of fun." Honken worked on a layered painting by placing transparencies on top of a Sho Shone photograph, "trying to give it that feeling of a grass-dancer in a desert."
Honken said she felt connected to the culture inherited from her Sho Shone mother and Paiute father, but since she had lived in a Caucasian family in Minnesota since the age of five, she also considered herself influenced by Western culture. She said her art felt like a journey back to her native roots, and she tried to incorporate the feeling of "returning home" in the creative process.
The festival was sponsored by the UI Celebrating Cultural Diversity Committee, the Stanley-UI Foundation Support Organization, and U S West Communications.
