Subsea Riser Products (SRP), an Acteon company, has been awarded a large contract with Carnegie Wave Energyto provide subsea foundation connectors, articulating bearings and tether assemblies for Carnegie's Perth Wave Energy Project off Western Australia.
This is the first time that a variant of the SRP Rocksteady subsea mooring connector will be deployed on such a project, following successful qualification and fatigue testing in 2013. The Carnegie project will be the first wave power application in the world to operate with multiple wave power convertors in an arrayand the first to produce both clean power and freshwater.
The scope of the contract includes three Rocksteady mooring or foundation connectors, with a breaking load (MBL) rating of 2,000 tonnes. They are part of articulated bearing assemblies in a shallow water depth of 30m, situated off the coast of Western Australia. Manufacturing and assembly work will take place in theUK and mainland Europe, and the first phase of equipment will be delivered in the first quarter of 2014. The project will require skills from a range of departments within SRP, including design, engineering, quality and procurement.
Alexandre Pichard with Carnegie said, "Carnegie selected SRP for the supply of key cylindrical energy transfer oscillating (CETO) unit components via acompetitive tender process that considered proven performance in similar applications, cost and schedule. SRP was very responsive to key selection criteria and demonstrated an appetite to provide an innovative solution to the project requirements."
Mike Ridgway, head of business development, SRP, added, "This is a significant project award because of the very demanding load conditions of the application. Our Rocksteady connector's performance, particularly its automaticlatching and resistance to bending, torsion and compression, was a key factor inthe Carnegie decision to source from SRP. The restricted space available for the connector also required some clever engineering to achieve the client's specification, including redevelopment of the locking mechanism from a mechanicalsystem to hydraulic hot stab. This contract provides an excellent example of howSRP can overcome challenging engineering issues as well as the versatility and quality of the Rocksteady subsea connector."
Subsea Riser Products (SRP), an Acteon company, supplies subsea hardware for the oil and gas industry, specialising in fatigue loaded applications, includingrisers and moorings, high strength steel components and welding. SRP's expertise extends to general subsea engineering, equipment integration, quality control and procurement – all skills developed from the design and delivery of an extensive range of products for subsea high pressure riser supply.

"Finale" - The final two chefs open pop-up restaurants for their final challenge.
Who will be Top Chef? Nick or Nina?
"Finale" - The final two chefs open pop-up restaurants for their final challenge.
Who will be Top Chef? Nick or Nina?
I'm not happy. Ugh! But then again, TC has a habit of picking the person I didn't root for. Oh well.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Damn it but oh well. At least it's not America's doing.
I started watching Bravo After Dark (at least, I think that's what it's called), and Tom C. called in. He said that Nina had the best food all season, and Nick had the best food during the finale.
I would have been happy with any of the top four making it to the end and winning.
Congratulations to Nick :-)
I mean, if it was America's doing, I'd be going on rampages right now. I've learned to accept decisions from well-known judges or individuals more than anonymous cults.
I'm not pleased with the result but it is what it is. What I found interesting was how passionately Tom was arguing for Nick even though the others seemed to have a different view of his food. "My duck was overcooked" "Mine was cooked PERFECTLY!" "I think treatment of servers should factor into this" then the camera shows Tom giving a little glare. Then again, he probably didn't want Nick withholding his penis from him. Out of eleven seasons, only TWO of the winners have been female. I'm sensing a pattern here...
I'm fine with judges making the decisions. What I sometimes don't like is how the judges' discussion is edited. I thought on tonight's show they did a good job of giving balanced comments. On some shows, they try so hard to fool viewers with the editing, that you have no idea how the judges arrived at the decision.
I was rooting for Nina. Nick's yelling at the staff was very unprofessional. I understand he was frustrated with his staff, but that was a pretty immature way to handle it. It sure looked like his expediter wasn't on top of things. Since they were supposedly given trained staff, I wouldn't dock him any points for staff missteps, but I would have docked him some points for his yelling.
Who got fan favorite on Andy Cohen's after show?
I don't know, but I'd pick Shirley.
I DVRd WWHL after the finale, so I'll have to watch the end of it to see who got Fan Favorite.
Like many, I'm not happy with the outcome, but then, that's the fault of the editing they gave us all season, isn't it? During the portion of WWHL that I saw, Andy spent more time on clips where Nick looked bad than good, so what should we expect?
I would really have preferred Nina to stand with the pantheon, because she isn't prone to fits of rage or moments of neurosis or douchebaggery like Nick was. But I guess Tom talked the others into crowning Nick for some reason. Oh well.

PS4 pre-orders placed from August 6, 2013 are not guaranteed to arrive at the European launch later this year, Sony has confirmed.
ShopTo reports that Sony has issued this cut off date to all European retailers stocking the PS4, but suggests that units may be freed by customers cancelling their orders.
A quick check on Amazon.co.uk confirms ShopTo's stock warning.
The PS4 product page now includes a note titled, "PlayStation 4 Stock Update" which reads: "Please note--due to high demand, orders placed for this PlayStation 4 console from August 6 may be received after release date. We will ship orders as soon as we receive sufficient inventory."
The PS4 will launch in the UK priced £349.99, but it still without a confirmed date.
Are you regretting having not placed a pre-order for a PS4, or are you happy to wait and see how the next generation pans out before committing to a platform?

text: You ever need just one egg? Usually, the answer to this question is no. Even if we are just one egg short of our brownie recipe, we can usually spare the two dollars to pick up a dozen eggs so we don't have to come back to the gas station to buy a single egg next time. We have a hard time believing that any customer has used their last thirty cents to pick up a single egg after realizing they couldn't afford the full dozen.

The scattered showers that began on Sunday evening will last until Tuesday afternoon as a weak low pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska --- and a little juice from the sub-tropics -- drifts across Southern California, says the National Weather Service. The system will only drop about one-third of an inch of rain west of the mountains, and about a half-inch in the mountains, doing little to alleviate the rain shortage. This season, many areas of East County have received about eight inches less rain than normal. The figure is almost four inches below average in downtown San Diego. The shortfall -- and last week's dry Santa Ana winds -- have caused grasses across the county to begin to dry out early, increasing the risk of wildfires, the weather service says.
The damp weather will begin to blow out on Wednesday, when the region begins a small, modest warming trend.

The commentary in this past Friday's National Stocker and Cattle Summary report by Corbitt Wall, Greg Harrison, Baldemar Ortiz, and Kinley Hartman alluded to the declining availability of cattle. They note that "Auction managers have exhausted their "little black books" and most don't know where they're going to find cattle to hold sales each week until mid-summer yearlings start to show up."
At first glance these comments might appear convoluted given that, using data from this report through the week ended April 18, accumulated weekly auction receipts are 3 percent higher than the same time one year ago and the total of all accumulated receipts are 5 percent above year ago levels. Granted, as one would expect given the declining beef herd numbers, the accumulated totals of auctions, direct sales, and video/internet sales are about 7 percent lower than the average from 2009 to 2013.
However, these data are another indicator of the market surge that we seem to be waving good-bye to at the moment. The strong prices in the first quarter of the year encouraged cow-calf producers to market their cattle earlier than normal and thereby "inflated" the current sales receipts count. This is supported by the larger than expected placements in both January and February reported in the past two Cattle on Feed reports.
The report's authors bring this up when they note "auction receipts in March likely included a much larger percentage of available spring supplies."
This sentiment is glaringly true based on the data for cattle sold weighing less than 600 pounds. For these cattle, total receipts (including auction, direct, and video/internet) were about 16 percent above 2013 totals during the month of March. This most likely will lead to fewer cattle available in the coming weeks as stockers and backgrounders search for cattle to fill their pastures while auction managers wring every last resource out of their "little black books."
Also of note in the data from report mentioned above:
- Feeder cattle receipts for all types of sales (those weighing more than 600 pounds) were 6 percent lower than one year ago during March.
- Accumulated heifer receipts, through the week ended April 18, are about even with 2013 and 13 percent lower than the average from 2009 to 2013.
- Accumulated steer receipts are 9 percent higher than 2013 and 3 percent lower than the five-year average.
The Markets
Live and dressed cattle prices declined with steer prices dropping $2.23 and $5.08, respectively.
The weakness in the cash markets appears to be a result of lower wholesale 2 boxed beef as Choice boxes marked their fourth straight week of lower prices.
On the bright side, both Choice and Select price have been moving higher since last Wednesday in hopeful preparation for the delayed start to this year's grilling season and the upcoming holiday grilling weekends in May.
Calf prices in the Southeast were about $2 per hundredweight higher last week compared to the previous week, while feeder prices were moderately lower across all regions. Feedstuff prices were mostly even when compared to the previous week.

Art Bench Trail through St. Croix Valley will highlight community creativity
Starting next spring, The Phipps Center for the Arts will launch a new marketing campaign to encourage residents and visitors to explore the small towns of the St. Croix Valley. The Art Bench Trail will connect seven artistic benches that were created between 2006 and 2011, with up to three more benches in the works.
The Phipps is leading the effort as a way to promote tourism to the region and strengthen connections between people and communities through art. Each bench is a unique community art project which was designed to build relationships and a sense of civic responsibility among participants, and help spark appreciation for the St. Croix River and the other special qualities of each participating community.
"Each one of these benches has a great story," says Anastasia Shartin, visual arts director of The Phipps. "People from all backgrounds came together to create them. They also say a lot about the history, wildlife, and other ways people connect with the St. Croix River."
The Kresge Foundation recently awarded the project a grant to help promote the Art Bench Trail as a destination. Next spring, The Phipps and its Bench Project community partners, including the St. Croix Valley Foundation and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, will unveil a website (www.artbenchtrail.org), brochures with maps, new signs at each bench, and a marketing campaign to encourage local and visiting tourists to explore the St. Croix Valley, bench-by-bench.
Visiting the benches is a great way to tour the scenic river valley and visit its unique small towns. Most of the benches are located in parks that are good destinations in their own right, and the driving routes connecting them are mostly rural highways which crisscross the valley.
"Visiting two or three benches will be a perfect way to spend a day with family and friends," says Shartin. "They're located in great places to explore or have a picnic, and are near other sights, including local businesses and restaurants, parks, and other natural and historic sites."
There are currently benches in St. Croix Falls, Marine on St. Croix, Bayport, and Hastings in Minnesota, and Somerset, Hudson, and Prescott in Wisconsin. The benches were created collaboratively, partnering youth, artists, businesses, towns, and other members of the community to create unique works exploring the connection with the St. Croix Valley's nature, history, and culture.
Individuals or organizations interested in helping plan events or otherwise promote existing projects are encouraged to contact Shartin at (715) 386-2305, ext. 103 or email@example.com.

New York City Walgreen Co. has asked a San Francisco state court to block implementation of a recently passed city order banning sale of tobacco products at pharmacies, effective Oct. 1, the Wall Street Journal reported. The order would affect 52 Walgreen pharmacies in San Francisco.
The chain alleges the new law is anticompetitive and unconstitutional since it does not ban tobacco sales at grocery stores and wholesale clubs that also have pharmacies.
The California Superior Court set a Sept. 30 hearing date for preliminary injunction.
San Francisco is the first U.S. city to pass a ban on cigarette sales at drug stores. Boston is contemplating implementing a similar ban, according to the report.

Our company used a pen simplier to this one and the company went out of business. We were lucky enough to find InkHead!!! Not only does this pen mirror our previous favorite, the customer service and product itself exceeded our expectations. The printing was engraved into the pen showing our new logo with the new colors and it is amazing. We are so proud to hand these pens out to our clients which are lawyers and large corporations. I will be sending everyone who asks to your website. Thank you again for helping us shine. Diana Sullivan, Office Administrator

Aurora -- Jenna Micale, the new Aurora High School varsity softball coach, first became a softball coach for an 18-and-up travel/tournament team she played for.
"When I was too old to play, I helped out coaching with my previous coaches," she said. "I couldn't stay away from the game. Being a teacher as well, especially physical education, I knew I would be teaching and coaching for my career.
"I love sports," she added. "I played every sport when I was younger and before I had to narrow it down to seasons. I enjoy kids of all ages and teaching all I know about a sport to others. I knew sports would be a part of my life forever."
Micale, who succeeds Jessica McDermitt as head coach, was an assistant coach for the Greenmen last season.
"Aurora is a great place to be a part of," Micale said. "After meeting the girls and the success of last season, I was anxious to get started. I felt confident in accepting my responsibilities and the chance to continue to grow as a coach. I couldn't have been more excited to be involved in a great school district.
"The first day I stepped into Aurora, everyone was so welcoming and willing to help me in whatever way they could," she said. "I always feel supported by the people I am involved with including our athletic director, Paul Powers. I would love to further my career in such a great place."
Micale said her goals for her team this season are to play as a team and be competitive.
"I want them to exceed my expectations and continue to always want to improve," she said. "I want them to leave it all on the field and always give their best. Most importantly, I want them to have fun. It is important to get the victory but most important that they strive and continue to improve so the experience is rewarding for all."
MICALE, WHO graduated from Mayfield High School, has a teaching degree in health and physical education from Ohio State University, where she graduated in 2010. She is a substitute teacher at Mayfield Middle School.
In high school, she was a four-year varsity softball starter at catcher and third base and was the team's most valuable player as a junior and senior. She was also a member of the high school swim team. In college, she did not play varsity softball.
"I had a couple of offers at small schools [to play softball], but always wanted to go to OSU," she said.
Micale said she hopes to instill qualities that will last with the players for a lifetime.
"My players are a great group of girls with tremendous talent," she said. "I want them to have confidence in themselves and their teammates.
"I want them all to be role models and leaders as they transition through grades for incoming players, and I want them to learn that to succeed in anything, they need to put their mind into it, too. It takes hard work and dedication. I am putting everything I have into coaching, and I want them to give me the same effort.
"People always told me I could do whatever I put my mind to, and that I had a gift with children," she said. "Coaches told me I was very coachable and a good team leader and player.
"I developed a good work ethic at a young age, being dedicated to swim teams and travel softball teams, working on both all year around. I want to pass along that success comes with hard work and dedication."

It is difficult to advise you without more information as noted by the other members of this panel. This sounds big in a 5'1" 105 woman but this depends on your anatomy and your measurements/dimensions. There is no way to advise you without more information. I highly recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon with a good amount of experience and reputation with a Vectra 3D imaging system. It will give you some good visual feedback. Best of luck.
I Am 5'1 105lbs, Will 355cc Implant Be Too Big for Me?
Doctor Answers 7
Implant size ?'s
5'1" 105 lbs - 355 cc Implant Too Large?
The average breast implant placed in the US is about 350 cc. A 355 cc implant in the right profile will fit almost anyone's chest wall width. I would recommend that you try on the sizers prior to surgery to get a better idea. Find the surgeon with ELITE credentials for surgery who performs hundreds of breast augmentations a year.
Implant size for BA
There's really a lot that goes into the selection of a breast. This includes, size, breast/chest dimensions, stretchability of skin, breast shape, and nipple position. Add to this a woman's specific goals and what she thinks looks good and you have a lot of combinations that are possible. I would guess that your body could handle 355cc but I couldn't possibly tell you if that would give you the result that you want. Get some consults with some Plastic surgeons whose results you like. Ask questions and take your time. Choose the doc that makes you feel most comfortable and who makes the most sense to you. Good luck.

355 cc implant too large
It is best to pick the implant that fits your body. A HP 355 will be narrower than a LP 355. Check the rough base width diameter of your breast and pick the size that fits.
Choosing a breast implant
To determine the right implants for you, it is important to go for a consultation and have a thorough exam and discuss your goals.
I Am 5'1 105lbs, Will 355cc Implant Be Too Big for Me
To answer this a way that might be helpful, more info is needed-photos, cup size, goal, some measurements. What you think is too big is useful, and may not be in agreement with what I or for that matter another patient of your size might think!
Consider posting that info. All the best.
Best Breast Implants For Me?
Thank you for the question.
When it comes to selection of the "best" breast implant size/profile to meet patient's goals, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for clearing that up. Though this fake quote could be compatible with Buddhism, I puzzled over the last sentence. I thought that "never fear what will become of you" referred to not running after fame, riches and wordly gain though it could be misunderstood...

Stocks mostly higher, Japan shrugs off GDP drop
AP and AFP Thursday, August 14, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
MUMBAI/HONG KONG--Global stock markets overcame a contraction in Japan's economy and jitters about Ukraine and Iraq to mostly rise Wednesday, but analysts said new geopolitical developments would likely make for volatile trading.
Germany's DAX added 0.8 percent to 9,142.83 and France's CAC-40 rose 0.6 percent to 4,187.69. Britain's FTSE 100 was steady at 6,631.61. Futures pointed to a move higher on Wall Street. Dow Jones futures rose 0.3 percent to 16,568 and S&P 500 futures gained 0.4 percent to 1,937.70.
Asian shares were mixed Wednesday as downbeat data from China and Japan sparked renewed concerns for growth in the region's two biggest economies.
Tokyo shrugged off early losses to close 0.35 percent, or 52.32 points, higher at 15,213.63, despite data which showed the Japanese economy contracted sharply in the latest quarter as a sales tax increase slammed the breaks on household spending.
Shanghai ended flat at 2,222.88 and Hong Kong closed up 0.81 percent, or 200.93 points, at 24,890.34 as new statistics showed key indicators including industrial production slowed in July.
Seoul gained 1.02 percent, or 20.89 points, to 2,062.36 but Sydney eased 0.28 percent, or 15.62 points, to 5,514.7.
Minutes before the opening bell, Tokyo announced that the world's number three economy shrank by 1.7 percent in the April-June quarter — which translated into a 6.8 percent drop on an annualized basis.
A string of disappointing Chinese data further weighed on market sentiment.
China's bank lending plunged to 385.2 billion yuan (US$62.5 billion) in July, a dramatic decline from June's 1.08 trillion yuan as the weakening property sector hit demand for loans.
China also released figures for industrial output, retail sales and fixed-asset investment that were in line with expectations but slightly slower from the previous month's data.
Key US Retail Sales Due
Investors were also cautiously eyeing geopolitical tensions in Ukraine as a convoy of 262 Russian trucks headed towards the border. Kiev vowed to block the aid mission from its territory over fears it was a ploy to bolster pro-Kremlin rebels.
The United States and European Union have already imposed an array of sanctions on Russia in response to what they see as Moscow's military support for rebels in Ukraine.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.06 percent to 16,560.54 on Tuesday as new data showed investment sentiment in Germany, the eurozone's biggest economy, was taking a hit from the crisis over Russia and Ukraine.
The widely watched investor confidence index calculated by the ZEW economic institute fell 18.5 points to 8.6 points in August, its lowest level since December 2012.
Investors were also focused on key U.S. retail sales data due later Wednesday, which will shed light on consumer sentiment in the world's top economy.

Today was our first Challenge workout, and it seemed to be designed for maximum misery (and gave me flashbacks of this):
We had three attempts to get our heaviest weight, with 7 minutes of rest in between.
Here's how it went down for me…
Round 1: 45#
I finished 28 reps. Inside the noggin, I broke the 30 reps down into three sets of ten, but there was no stopping, no pausing, no "just a little breath" to acknowledge the tens. Just move, move, move for a minute. It was pretty terrible during, and my heart was hammering like a freakin' freight train after, but I was confident I could squeeze out two more on Round 2 if I picked up the pace on the first 10.
Round 2: 45#
I was on a great pace for the first set of 10 – finished them in exactly 20 seconds. Inside the noggin, I started counting by fives, steady rhythm, moving through it. On thruster number 17, I lost my focus at the bottom of the squat and stumbled a smidgen on my way up. Which meant I had to re-set my feet. Which meant I finished 29 reps.
29. One short of the goal. Heartbreak.
Round 3: 40#
Tristy said, "If you didn't finish 30 yet, you must take weight off the bar. We need to get a number today; you have to finish 30." So I dumped 5# off the bar and finished the 30 reps at 40# with three seconds to spare.
I feel good about my performance – I fought really hard for Round 2 – but my heart's just a tiny bit broken about the foot shuffle that cost me 5#.
Next time.
More Like This...
Given that thrusters are a mashup of two of my favorite movements – front squat and push press – I should really like them. But,...Read More
We did thrusters today too! Not max reps, though, just 30 at a time as part of the WOD (I'm at CrossFit Durham in NC). This looks pretty beast! I was using a 45 and it took me WAY longer than a minute to finish them. You rock!
Our "dessert" to our WOD today at CC (women's only class!) was 30 db thrusters for time. It was painful and especially hurty after a workout that included a TON of HSPU.
Next time, you will rock it.

Osprey Troubles
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
RAY SUAREZ: We get two perspectives. Philip Coyle was the Defense Department's top weapons tester as director of its Office of Operational Test and Evaluation during the Clinton administration. James Furman was an army combat helicopter pilot from 1966 to 1986, and is now a lawyer representing the family of the V-22 pilot that crashed last April. Later, I'll speak to the commandant of the Marine Corps.
James Furman, let me start with you. This latest story about the Osprey, the reports that maintenance records were being faked, how does that fit in with what you already believe about this aircraft and its airworthiness?
MAJOR JAMES FURMAN: Well, I'm concerned about the allegations of maintenance fraud and falsification. I think it is… it questions the integrity of this whole program. I'm also concerned about the investigation of it, of whether it's going to be objective or not, and whether or not the testing of this aircraft has been objective. The aircraft already has cost the lives of 23 Marines in this past year, and four of the first 12 Marine pilots that were selected on a very competitive basis to be in the program. My client, the family of Major Brooks Gruber, was a highly qualified Marine pilot, very experienced, and he was on a night training mission, a flight of two MV-22s on approach into a landing zone with night-vision goggles when his aircraft suddenly went out of control. And his aircraft went out of control, as Mr. Coyle can probably tell you, due to a problem that was completely unknown to him and apparently the Marine Corps at that time because the manufacturers did not fully test this aircraft or inform the Marine Corps about the problems in the aircraft. The aircraft went out of control and it crashed and regrettably 19 Marine lives were lost.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, Philip Coyle, you oversaw the overall testing of the airworthiness of this craft. Is it a particularly hard aircraft to keep air-ready?
PHILIP COYLE: It has been. During the operational tests that we've overseen, the aircraft has not achieved its required reliability or maintainability. The V-22 was intended to be cheaper to maintain and easier to maintain than the helicopters it's to replace. So far it has not been.
RAY SUAREZ: Why is that? Is it because of the particular engineering demands of making an aircraft that both flies like a helicopter and a plane?
PHILIP COYLE: Well, it is a complex aircraft and has lots of mechanical and hydraulic and electronic parts. That's part of it.
RAY SUAREZ: So, your report on the Osprey concluded what about this plane and its future?
PHILIP COYLE: Our report concluded that the aircraft was effective. By that, we mean it can do things that it's intended to do, for example, it flies farther and faster than other aircraft that it would replace and can get in and out of landing zones very rapidly. We also said it was not suitable. That's a term of art in the Department of Defense which means that its reliability, maintainability and safety were not up to standard.
RAY SUAREZ: So, Mr. Furman, what do you need to know about this aircraft that you haven't been able to find out yet?
MAJOR JAMES FURMAN: Well, unfortunately, the investigation that was conducted on the April crash has not been fully released to the families. There is what's called a JAG manual or Judge Advocate General's investigation of the crash and portions of that have been published as they should be. The whole report is intended to be a public document. And the Marine Corps has withheld substantial portions of that report including the final conclusions and recommendations, which I am told from sources within the Marine Corps and Pentagon, question the effectiveness and the suitability of that aircraft. Mr. Coyle just mentioned to you that it was effective and that it could get in and out of landing zones quickly. Well, I seriously question that because now there is a limitation on the aircraft that it cannot descend at a rate greater than 800 feet per minute. If you have a combat aircraft under hostile conditions and you can't maneuver that aircraft, then it's neither going to be safe nor survivable. It would be shot down. I was a combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam. And if I had those restrictions placed on me, my aircraft would have been shot down and I would not have made it back and probably many other helicopter pilots over there wouldn't have made it back.
RAY SUAREZ: What are some of those limitations, Philip Coyle, on the approach and the landing and the landing speed for the Osprey as it's currently designed.
PHILIP COYLE: Well, we know from the crash last April that if the rate of descent is too fast that the aircraft can enter into what's called vortex ring state. This is an aerodynamic phenomenon where the rotors can lose lift even with the increase of power.
RAY SUAREZ: So they will be spinning but they won't hold you up in the air?
PHILIP COYLE: Yes. So that's something that we didn't really understand before the April crash. Helicopters all can have this… can all experience this phenomenon, but it appears to be worse with the V-22.
RAY SUAREZ: Have you been able to figure out why?
PHILIP COYLE: The Navy has been doing a series of tests where they have, at high altitude, doing it at high altitude so they're way above the ground. The Navy has been doing a series of tests to try to determine the boundary, the flight envelope of where this vortex ring state condition can occur.
RAY SUAREZ: So, Mr. Furman, given what you know and what you've been telling us about your experience, what does this aircraft need to be able to do that, so far, the engineering would show that it can't do? Can it make the transition from airplane to helicopter smoothly and safely, in your view?
MAJOR JAMES FURMAN: Well, I think the aircraft is a great concept. You may recall back in the early '50s, they were talking about flying jeeps. There can be great concepts but they may not translate into practical usefulness. This aircraft is a combination aircraft. It is the first tilt rotor aircraft that's been put into production. It is supposed to go fast for a long range and carry a big payload. The problem is you can never have an aircraft that will… be an end-all and be-all for everything. And I believe that the Marine Corps needs to look at this very objectively and perhaps even outside the Marine Corps to ensure that there is an objective analysis and make a decision about whether the increased margin of usefulness of this aircraft, which I believe is very narrow, is justified by the very large cost and expenditures of taxpayer dollars and the lives of Marines that are not test pilots but are unit pilots out there flying the aircraft and the crew chiefs and the infantry men that have to get in the back and fly.
RAY SUAREZ: James Furman, Philip Coyle. Thank you both very much.

Aged sector grapples with move to home-based care
Hundreds of aged care providers are meeting in the Barossa Valley as they prepare for the Federal Government's multi-billion-dollar reforms of the sector.
Operational reviews are being run by not-for-profit organisation, the Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council.
Its CEO Rod Cooke said current aged care providers would need to change their business operations to manage the move to more home-based care.
"The changes are so significant that the business will have to do a lot of analysis," he said.
"One of the tools we're using is what we call a reform-ready review, which helps the business go through a number of those issues around governance, planning, finance, staff, skills to look at 'Have they thought it through?' and 'What changes may they need to do?'"

Which is right for me?
These sunglasses are very similar. Both pairs provide extra coverage perfect for triathletes, are secure enough in the aero position and offer several nose widths and lens options. So which is right for you? In my opinion the Smith's felt a bit lighter and have more flex to them and if you want a photochromic lens option, want the lightest feel and prefer frameless sunnies, the Smith's would be your choice. The Oakleys have a bit more coverage and felt slightly more secure on my head. If you need more coverage and the most secure fit then the Oakleys are your pair of sunglasses. With an item this personal, I suggest going in to your local triathlon or bike shop and trying them on to see for yourself which pair fits the bill for you. In truth, you can't go wrong with either pair.

All of the Kindles have some sort of radio in them and it is an advertised feature. Nearly all of them have a cell connection.
You can triangulate your current location just based on the strength and IDs of the cell towers that your cell can see. Its not quite as accurate as a GPS but it will generally put you within the correct area.
The method would be to look up the unique BSSID of visible WiFi networks in publicly available databases like Skyhook Wireless or Google. They've done surveys with data logger equipment vehicles so they know where each WiFi network is.
The Kindle doesn't have a GPS so any location features are from one of those two.

Its up to you whether you want to risk using false details when creating your Amazon account.
If you have the 3G+WiFi model then it should in theory be possible to remove the 3G modem as it is a Mini PCI Express card inside the Kindle. I can't vouch for correct operation of a 3G+WiFi Kindle without the 3G card though.
Other options would be to use the shortcut to force it to select a non compatible cell network or to remove the SIM card from inside the Kindle. Again, no idea what happens if the SIM is missing or incorrect inside a 3G+WiFi Kindle.
Or wait for somebody to do an activation hack like the older Kindles have.
I understand that you may have privacy concerns about the Kindle but I fail to see why you're so angry about it. Nobody is making you purchase and use a Kindle. There are methods available to avoid having your location or other information inadvertantly revealed to Amazon.

Problems from high blood sugar levels
High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) occur when your blood sugar (also called glucose) is higher than your body needs to function normally. High blood sugar levels can cause both immediate and long-term problems.
Immediate problems
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening blood chemical (electrolyte) imbalance that develops in a person with diabetes when the cells do not get the sugar they need for energy. As a result, the body breaks down fat instead of glucose and produces and releases substances called ketones into the bloodstream.
People with type 1 diabetes and some people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk for DKA if they do not take enough insulin, have a severe infection or other illness, or become severely dehydrated.
Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include:
- Flushed, hot, dry skin.
- A strong, fruity breath odor.
- Loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
- Restlessness.
- Rapid, deep breathing.
- Confusion.
- Drowsiness or difficulty waking up. Young children may lack interest in their normal activities.
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis can cause difficulty breathing, brain swelling (cerebral edema), coma, or death. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are needed if symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are present.
Treatment involves giving insulin and fluids through a vein and closely monitoring and replacing electrolytes.
Long-term complications
Your risk of complications increases if your blood sugar levels are often above your target level. Persistently high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves.
- Damage to large blood vessels (macrovascular disease) can lead to a buildup of plaque, increasing your risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Alps, 2011.
Directed by Giogos Lanthimos.
Starring Stavros Psyllakis, Aris Servetalis, Johnny Vekris, Ariane Labed and Aggeliki Papoulia.
A group of people who call themselves Alps impersonate the recently deceased so they can provide comfort to the mourners.
After his breakout film Dogtooth, director Yorgos Lanthimos widens the weird scope from a single family to an entire town in this Greek tale of life imitating life.
A nurse, a paramedic, a rhythmic gymnast and her controlling coach meet regularly in a sparse gymnasium to divide up their work. Mont Blanc (Aris Servetalis), their self appointed leader, has nicknamed them Alps – a set of mountains that can't be replaced, but could happily substitute for any other cliff face. And that's exactly what they do; standing in for the recently deceased, they wear the clothing and re-enact familiar lines of dialogue to help mourning friends and family work through their grief.
Rarely looking like their counterparts and delivering lines with such stoic, deadpan expressions, you begin to wonder how their presence could possibly help. Are people really just the sum of a few t-shirts and a couple of choice words, easily replaced by a warm body? According to Lanthimos, they are. None of the families decline the absurd offer and no one comments on the strangeness of the situation, as long as the Alps stay in character, people genuinely benefit from the home theatrics.
Despite Mont Blanc enjoying a sadistic control over the group, it's Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) who steers our attention. Breezing through so many characters, at first it's unclear whether scenes of her home life are real or just another role she's inhabiting. As she continues to flit between characters, the emotional toil of her job overwhelms her; she rebels against the rules set out by Mont Blanc and starts to lose sight of what is real and what is a performance. As a result her relationship with her father, her clients and even the other Alps quickly crumbles.
Sterile shots and decapitated framing deliberately keep the audience distant and uneasy. Each scene is packed with pregnant pauses and stilted moments that are more entrancing than entertaining as the camera deprives you of facial expressions and reaction shots. Even when in a room of people Monte Rosa remains isolated, and the majority of scenes are only loosely connected to the last. The effect is one of clinical detachment.
Unexpected laughs and streaks of violence make for an absorbing story, but there's a cold, disjointed slowness that won't arouse everyone's interest. Enigmatic and sometimes eerie, Alps is certainly another unique feature to arrive on the "Greek Weird Wave".

Part 4—Prepare Data for Analysis
Step 1 Buffer Florida Interstate 10
- Launch My World GIS by double-clicking its icon on your desktop or by clicking its icon in the dock (Mac) or Launch Bar (PC).
- Choose File > Open Project, and navigate to the file, Wetlands_Part3.m3vz, that you either saved at the end of Part 3 or to the file that you downloaded at the end of Part 3. Select it and then click Open.
- Your map should be centered around the Florida Interstate 10 layer.
- To make a buffer around a line, first click on the Analyze tab, scroll down the list of options, and then click on Make Buffer Around....
In the panel to the right, make the following choices:
- Create Buffer of: Florida Interstate 10.
- Set the buffer at 15 Kilometers (about 9 miles).
- Click the radio button for Dissolve All Buffers.
- Name the result "15 km of Interstate". Click OK.
- A new layer is created for the 15 km buffer, and displayed on the map as 15 km of Interstate. Edit the appearance of the new layer to make the buffers transparent. Select the new 15 km layer by clicking on it, and then click on the Edit Layer Appearance
button just above the Layer List. In the window that opens, select the following options:
- Set Choose Fill Color by to Uniform and make it a yellow.
- Adjust the slider for Transparency to 80%.
- Change the Outline Color to Orange.
- Adjust Outline Width to a larger option.
- Click Apply and Close.
- Turn on the Valdosta Land Use layer, zoom in, and visually compare the pattern of land use data with the 15 km buffer around Florida Interstate 10.
- For now, turn off the new 15 km buffer around Florida Interstate 10 layer.
- Switch to Analyze mode and select all the wetlands in the Valdosta Land Use layer.
- Choose Select... > By Value.
- Select Records from: Valdosta Land Use.
- Whose: Land Use Contains 61 OR Whose: Land Use Contains 62 (Note: this will select BOTH sets of Wetlands). Note: to enable the "OR" selection criteria, you may need to click on the (+) button.
- Check Make Selection a New Layer.
- Name your new layer "Forested and Non Forested Wetlands", and Click OK.
- The wetlands will now be on your map, you may decide to edit their appearance to be less transparent.
- Turn off (hide) the original Valdosta Land Use layer.
- Next, use My World to create a buffer around the all the wetlands in the study area. In general, wetlands are protected by a 100 meter buffer around each wetland.
- To make a buffer around a polygon, first click on the Analyze tab, scroll down the list of options, and then click on Make Buffer Around....
In the panel to the right, make the following choices:
- Create Buffer of: Forested and Non-Forested Wetlands.
- Set the buffer at 100 meters.
- Check: Outside, with interior.
- Click the radio button for Don't Dissolve All Buffers.
- Name the result "100 meters of Wetlands". Click OK. This analysis process may take several minutes, there are a lot of wetlands!
- Once the buffer layer is complete and on the map, edit its appearance to be transparent with an orange outline.
- In Part 5, your final task is to select an optimal area for the proposed development. Begin the process by looking for areas that are:
- Outside of any 100 meter buffer of a wetland.
- Within the 15 kilometers of either side of Florida Interstate 10.
- Within 100 kilometers of the town of Macclenny, Florida.
- Use the Zoom and Pan tools to examine the area bounded by the Florida Interstate 10 buffer. Turn layers on and off as needed. What do you look for that makes a good development site? In general, you probably are looking for an area that is away from any wetlands and near a service road (as seen from your topographic map).
- Now that you have added the new data, choose File > Save Project As... and name your project Wetlands_Part4, or some other unique name. Then click the Save button.
- Quit My World GIS.
Step 2 Select and Buffer the Wetlands
Wetlands are important both ecologically and economically. They provide services such as flood control and groundwater recharge. They also serve as filters for both sediment and pollution. The wetlands in Florida are some of the most productive wetlands in the United States, recharging major underground aquifers and providing the cleanest water in the nation. While performing these essential services, they also provide habitat for many species of animals such as deer, raccoons, and salamanders. In addition to providing permanent homes for some animals, wetlands serve as important stopover points for millions of migratory birds as they travel between their summer and winter residences.
Over the past 100 years, many wetlands have been destroyed by human actions. Agricultural drainage creation, the deposition of fill materials and stream channelization dredging have all contributed greatly to this loss. Florida, and many other states in the Southeastern U.S., have lost as much as 50% of their original wetland area since the 1780's.
Because of their importance, federal legislation now limits the loss of wetlands and promotes restoration and conservation of formerly degraded wetlands. Laws now protect wetlands, which prevents existing wetlands from being converted to other uses without special permits. In order for wetlands to remain healthy and to function properly they need to be buffered from development by at least 100 meters, (330 feet). Use the Buffer tool to set a 100 meter buffer around the wetlands in this area.
Step 3 Examine the Map and Consider Options for Development
Step 4 Save the Project File and Quit My World

Although I'm admittedly biased, I really enjoyed Greg's talk this morning on "Python at Google." He covered the wide spectrum of Python use at Google and left plenty of time for questions at the end.
Some of Greg's talk (and many of the questions) focused on Google's use of SWIG to Pythonize our C++ libraries in a fairly hands-free way. As Greg aptly put it, "SWIG is pretty underrated." Questions from the audience focused on SWIG performance and robustness, especially when confronted with heavily templatized C++. People also mentioned alternatives like Boost.Python and PyCXX. One audience member who had used all three systems commented that Boost had been great for supporting templates, but that its generated .so files were 10x bigger than equivalent ones from SWIG. Still, I'd like to learn more about these systems.
Greg's actually standing in a small knot of people about 20 feet in front of me, still engaged in some heated, SWIG-related debate. :)
Greg also touched on Google's open-source efforts centered around code.google.com, and I was pleased to hear some positive audience feedback and some questions about what Google plans to open-source next.

Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. Jack's Cosmic Dogs was featured on the Food Network show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." Alton Brown raved about their hot dogs. Specifically the Cosmic Dog with blue cheese slaw and sweet potato mustard.
I looked up this place online before we arrived into Charleston and discovered they offered tofu dogs and a carrot dog. I have read about making a Vegan Carrot dog but have never seen it on a menu. Until now. We had to go here.
Outside of Charleston in Mt. Pleasant, SC, Jack's Hot Dogs sits off Hwy 17 on the way into (or out of) town. There isn't too much around it and can be easy to pass by. It looks like a run down dive bar with a gravel parking lot. Very Southern.
There is a variety of toppings for their dogs. Well, if it is good enough for Alton Brown it is good enough for me- only substituted with a Tofu dog. When I first saw my hot dog I had to check just to make sure they didn't give me regular meat. It looked like the real thing. After a few bites I told Chad that they made a terrible mistake and gave me real meat. I had to ask again. I was told people ask all the time and don't believe they were served tofu. I didn't believe it either. There is no way I was given a tofu dog. The poor girl working said people get mad at her because they don't believe her. I didn't believe her either. This hot dog was smoked and tasted exactly like what I remember a good old fashioned mixed up meat dog tastes like. And the blue cheese slaw was amazing on it.
Don't even get me started on the sweet potato mustard. Absolute Heaven.
We also ordered the Bunny in a Bun– a grilled carrot served on a bun. Only it wasn't really a dog- it was grilled shredded carrots served with the sweet potato mustard and regular slaw. Absolutely amazing. And for only $1.95 a piece I could eat ten of them.
Chad also ordered the Black Bean burger, also served on a hot dog bun with salsa, slaw and sour cream. He liked it a lot.
And the fries were the greatest thing in the word dipped into that sweet potato mustard.
Very nostalgic, Jack's also serves NeHi soda and Cheerwine. Ever had Cheerwine? It is an institution in the Carolinas- a cherry flavored cola sweetened with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I regret not having one while at Jack's. I am not worried though- we will most definitely be back.
The girl that was working was also incredibly sweet. When she learned we were from out of town she recommended other restaurants for us to try while we were in town. Super nice of her.
In all our travels through South Carolina this was my most favorite place. Not just one of my favorite places, my absolute most favorite!! This is an absolute must for any Vegetarian. This is an absolute must for anyone. Do not miss Jack's Cosmic Dogs.

#100 closed Enhancement (fixed)
VIDEO_TS folders don't appear in Movies virtual dir
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Metadata - Movie
I notice that Sapphire b5 can now play DVD rips in the VIDEO_TS format. I like this feature a lot, but it doesn't seem to import DVDs in this format as movies: The importer doesn't ask me to select a movie title, nor do they appear in the "Movies" virtual directory. It's possible to play these titles by making the directory in which they reside a browsable collection, but I'd rather have them in the virtual directory itself.
I haven't seen crashes importing them yet, so there's no crash report. Beta5 hung indefinitely (got stuck at file 300/856 for 24 hours) trying to import these movies the first time I tried importing them, but I can no longer reproduce this, unfortunately.
Change History (19)
comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by antifuchs
I forgot to mention that I'm using Sapphire on a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1; the movies reside on an external disk, in directory /Volumes/Media?/DVDs.
I made "DVDs" a collection (with import enabled), and hid/excluded from import its parent directory.
comment:2 in reply to: ↑ description Changed 10 years ago by banano
I have a similar set up, with my video_ts files in a folder \volumes\movies and the sapphire virtual folder doesnt pick them up.
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by skyy99_1111@…
I had the similar 2 problems (crashing and not recognizing the DVD VIDEO_TS rips). I found that I needed to import the movies a small chunk at a time (say 100). First do a file scan, then get the movie info. Repeat.
I also found that if I renamed the DVD rip folder (that which contains the VIDEO_TS subfolder) to something like "My Movie.mov", beta 5 recognizes it as a proper movie and also still plays it using the DVD player.
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by gbooker
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by ryang
This feature does not seem to work. I followed what was listed above but the only files that get recognized are my .mpg files. None of my VIDEO_TS folders are identified. Doesn't crash, just doesn't identify them as movies.
This is an awesome feature and I look forward to trying this plugin again.
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by RyanG
Should mention I'm running 10.5.2 on a Mac Mini and my VIDEO_TS folders are located on an afp mounted drive and it does appear as a collection in the plugin.
comment:7 Changed 10 years ago by gbooker
[476] is dated 02/02/08 11:11:08, and beta 5 was released before then.
comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by RyanG
Sorry if I missed something but I am running beta 5. Since I searched and found this ticket and it matches my issue, I posted under it. I tried the resolutions listed here but they aren't working. Should I open a new ticket?
comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by gbooker
I said, "beta 5 was released before then," so it stands to reason that beta 5 does not contain this fix. The bug has been fixed, but not in a release build.
comment:10 Changed 10 years ago by RyanG
Got it.
comment:11 Changed 10 years ago by wazza
Are there pre-release candidates available for testing?
I checked out the subversion repository and attempted to build the trunk, but it failed due to missing Back row headers. Unfortunately back row also requires that I provide some Apple TV frameworks. As I don't have Apple TV this means I can't build anything, which is a pain.
Maybe I'm wrong but I'm guessing Sapphire and Back Row can only be built by users that have Apple TV and have access to the necessary internals? It's rather annoying I can't do this independently, which I know is neither your fault or problem, but a pre-release would be very welcome, I have nothing *but* VIDEO_TS folders, so currently Sapphire is just sitting there waiting to be used.
comment:12 Changed 10 years ago by gbooker
The build process requires nothing from the AppleTV. We weakly link to the frameworks, and in fact the developers link against the leopard framework, not the appletv framework. See the Awkward wiki page for instructions on setting up the build environment.
comment:13 Changed 10 years ago by wazza
Thanks for the link, very helpful stuff in there.
I'm a programmer, but new to Objective-C, the Xcode environment, apple TVs, BackRow? Frameworks and programming on Macs in general.
Apart from that, it's all good :-)
comment:14 Changed 9 years ago by wazza
After a bit of fiddling I now have a version of Sapphire correctly handling VIDEO_TS.
I have created an enhancement (#145) for what I think might be a nice addition to this feature.
comment:15 Changed 9 years ago by RyanG
I'd be happy to do some testing for you. The VIDEO_TS feature is basically the whole reason I want to use Sapphire.
comment:16 Changed 9 years ago by wazza
Hi Ryan,
I don't know if the Sapphire team would appreciate me attaching non-release versions here, so I'll hold back on that.
If you have an SFTP or FTP site I could upload it to then I could do that for you. Alternatively create yourself a throwaway gmail address and I'll mail it there if you post the address.
comment:17 Changed 9 years ago by gbooker
Sapphire is an open source project (GPL), which means you can do what you like with it. You are allowed to release your own builds, or even branch your own code base, so long as the conditions of the GPL are satisfied.
As per other people's builds, just be aware that we won't support them, but we can't disallow them either.
comment:18 Changed 9 years ago by RyanG
That would be great if you could send it to rgaudet77@…. I realize it's not supported but I'm not concerned about that. It's just to tide me over until the next release.
comment:19 Changed 9 years ago by rcreff
So I am completely lost with the VOB issue. I ripped the disks. Sapphire sees them but comes up with meta data that has nothing to do with the movie. If I pick the wrong movie it shows up wrong but I can play it. Can you please help me with naming, meta data, and file format issues. I setup Sapphire for vob directories with ripped DvDs?.

Two questions really... (1) Is there a way to turn off the implicit BEGIN that PsqlODBC sends to PostgreSQL? I want to use multiple SQL statements within transactions explicitly stated. (2) Is there a way to stop PsqlODBC from sending ABORT when disconnnected and there is no transaction in progress? (Not so critical as first question.) I know that the ODBC driver is sending the BEGIN and ABORT on its own by viewing the psqlodbc_%.log file and observing postmaster response. I am using... + PostgreSQL v7.0.3 (on Linux) + PsqlODBC v6.50 + Microsoft Windows NT SP6a + Microsoft Visual Basic 6 SP4 + Microsoft ADO v3.520.5303.2 Following is a code sample with comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Set cn = New ADODB.Connection With cn .ConnectionString = MyConnectionString .Open .BeginTrans '<--- Seems to be ignored by ODBC driver. .CommitTrans '<--- Seems to be ignored by ODBC driver.

London Fashion Week and London Fashion As Seen On Kings Road in the 1960's
"Just don't take any of it too seriously, or you'll miss the whole point."
This video is our ode to London Fashion Week. We really fancied some of the collections presented this year, so, in tribute, we dug up this ridiculous video detailing 1960's London fashion in a manner that makes Tuesday seem possible after all. King's Road, the shopping street that made punk, mod, and The Beatles possible, is now completely gentrified (not that there aren't new shopping prospects London has to offer). In this video you will learn that, even in the 1960's, people were talking about there not being anything left to create, and that fake eyelashes make plain English girls look like movie stars.

Pau Gasol dunks on some kid, wins new NBA fans
By Trey Kerby
When you're an NBA player, sometimes you just have to remind your fans how good you are. You know, really prove to them that you're the athlete and they're the spectator. Pau Gasol(notes) he knows how to show a bunch of kids what's what.
Yeah, that's Pau Gasol Michael Jordan-ing over some unlucky kid in New Delhi, India. Color me impressed that Pau can jump that high. Based on every single one of his NBA dunks which just barely make it over the rim, I'd have put money on that child getting a face full of legs.
Surprisingly, this is part of an NBA Cares outreach trip that Gasol's on right now. Dubious that dunking on youngins would win over fans? Perhaps this account of Gasol's basketball wizardry from SLAM's Karen Madhok will convince you.
Gasol again turned into a quiet crowd-pleaser in Delhi, speaking softly and letting his skills do the talking. He worked with the kids on dribbling drills, showed off his pivot, Hakeem-esque fadeaway, and of course, did a variety of dunks at the DPS basketball court, including doing a "jumpman" style dunk over a hapless kid in a Starbury' t-shirt!
You know what they don't say if it's not the dunking on kids that'll get 'em, it's the low-post moves. Kids looooooooooove pivots.
But really, Pau's doing a good thing performing for these kids, and it's always fun to learn about a far-flung country that's NBA crazy. Furthermore, it's also pretty amazing that Pau Gasol can jump that high. The guy in the tie needs to lighten up and realize he's just witnessed a miracle.

Olivia Palermo, New York Fashion Week, February 2013
Dressing in a monochromatic fashion is one of the easiest ways to look chic. Truly. Black and white are always the best of friends. The perfect example of this is a crisp white shirt tucked into tuxedo trousers. Always pulled together, the outfit of a proper grownup. But there are so many ways to do monochrome and, really, the possibilities are limitless (well, limited to black and white but that's all!) In this image Olivia Palermo, verified stylish person, is having fun with black and white. The checked skirt is cute, but given some edge with opaque tights (oh how I praise thee), the feather trimmed jacket and those amazing shoes. A bolt of red in that plum Chanel dream boat adds just the right amount of punch.

Sherri Shepherd is quite the historical scholar
The Juice*'s favorite part of The View is how, even though we don't watch it because we have to work, the ridiculous things the ladies do manage to make it into pop culture.
If you haven't heard, on Tuesday resident genius Sherri Shepherd insisted the ancient Greeks were predated by Christianity (this from a woman who in September admitted she didn't know if the Earth was round or flat).
After Joy Behar said she had been watching a documentary on Greek philosopher Epicurius, Shepherd responded to Whoopi Goldberg's mention that there was no "Jesus Christ stuff going on" then by saying, "They still had Christians back then." "They had gods," Goldberg said. "They had Christians, and they threw 'em to the lions," Shepherd reasoned. "I think this might predate that," Goldberg said. Shepherd's retort: "I don't think anything predated Christians."
For video of the exchange, look above. For relief from rampant ignorance, turn off your television.
