Asphalt is a common loading-arm application for trucks and railcars. Asphalt is generally loaded with simple Fixed Reach Style Loading Arms for truck loading applications, but can require Supported or Unsupported Boom Style Loaders for longer reaches.
Some examples of loading arm solutions applied in this application*:
*Please note that all applications are different and may be subject to design changes as warranted.
Steam Jacketed Loading Arms- In some applications loading arm may require steam jacketing to maintain product temperatures.
Steam Traced Loading Arms- An alternative to fully-jacketed loading arms, ControTrace bolt-on heating elements may offer some advantages (usually less costly & lighter weight) over fully jacketed piping while providing substantially more heating capacity and reliability than field-applied steam tracing.
Asphalt is a thick brownish or black substance derived from the same crude oil which produces kerosene, gasoline and vinyl. It is literally scraped from the bottom of the barrel after all other petroleum-based products have been refined or processed. Asphalt is at least 80% carbon, which explains its deep black color. Sulphur is another ingredient found in the tar-like asphalt, as well as some trace minerals. Asphalt is primarily used as a sealant for rooftops and a durable surface for roads, airport runways, playgrounds and parking lots.
The tar from the crude oil is usually mixed with sand or gravel (often called aggregate) to form the finished product we call asphalt. The black tar forms a strong adhesive bond with the aggregate, which makes it durable. When used in road construction, asphalt is usually poured over a bed of heavier aggregate in a heated state, then pressed into place by an extremely heavy steam roller. Once the fresh asphalt cools to ambient temperature, it becomes sturdy enough for automobile traffic. Asphalt may harden even more over the years, but it still retains enough flexibility to accommodate natural variations in the roadbed.

Software Update of 2/24/13
Software Update of 2/24/13
What software version did you receive? Is this newer than 1.19.42?
I hope the car isn't staying unlocked for 4 minutes after walking away.
The choice of what to show for a given user agent is up to the web site, and specifically giving you an option to see the desktop version vs the mobile version is totally up to the server. If anything changed on the Model S's end, it would be in how the browser identifies itself in the request.
I can confirm that of of just a second ago, sending a User-Agent of "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; u; Linux; C) AppleWebKit /533.3 (Khtml, like Gheko) QtCarBrowser Safari /533.3", Yahoo.com returns the mobile page with no footer option to go non-mobile.
I think this is a change on Yahoo's side though, that User Agent string is from http://teslatap.com/undocumented/ which got it from a thread back in October 2012.
yes, that is a Yahoo change... is on all my PCs including work PC and with all browsers. I don't like the new format.
jat, that's not true - it isn't necesarilly the website that chooses the format - my Androids have browser-based options to request the web browser format instead of the mobile format. I don't know if this exists on the i-series, but you can definitely select-out with Android.
I actually wanted would prefer the mobile version of websites because the Model S browser is kind of slow.
There's one site I have in my Model S favorites that detects the Model S browser as a desktop, and forces you onto their desktop site, even if you manually enter their mobile address, and they stupidly don't have a link to manually specify mobile.
Mobile: "Little tiny license plates for bees."
@Pungoteague_Dave - In that case Android is changing its user agent string to emulate the one from a desktop browser and removing the mobile identifier. Might be nice if Tesla let you do that too, then you could tell the web sites what to go do with themselves... :-)
@Pungoteague_Dave - yes it is -- the web browser sends the user agent string to the server, and the server decides how to render its web page. You can change the user agent that gets sent, and some mobile browsers let you do that, but again the choice of whether to send the mobile site, a flash-based site, a pure HTML site, an AJAX site, etc etc is strictly up to the server. Even if a mobile browser tries to pretend to be a desktop browser, if the server wants it isn't hard to figure out it the client is really a mobile browser.
I have been writing web apps before Netscape existed, so I know what I am talking about.
Now if you were writing them before Mosaic I'd be really impressed ;)
What's a little funny is that other than the "QtCarBrowser", the UserAgent string looks way more like a desktop browser than a mobile one. The only thing I can picture Yahoo triggering on to switch to the movile site is that QtCarBrowser substring, which seems like an odd thing to trigger on. Is there some other QtCarBrowser out there which doesn't use a giant 17" screen and would more suitably have a mobile site presented?
I developed a web site before Mosaic for use with WorldWideWeb/Nexus. Haven't done much of that sort of thing in recent years though, and all the hacking threads, while I find them fascinating, give me a headache. Keep up the good work!
I had the same issue when I went to Yahoo.com. The desktop version worked perfectly fine but the mobile version that comes up now is horrific. I tried to change back with no success. the internet functioned far better before the update. Internet access is painfully slow and the touchscreen response within the Internet function is slower than my grandmas walk to the mailbox. Funny the touch screen works fine in the other modes.
Also had issues trying to open up the owners manual from My Tesla account. got the list of manuals but can't open any of them. Anyone else have this issue? seems odd that I can't reference my manuals from the car itself... had to pull up the user guide up on my laptop.
The manuals are in .pdf - and there doesn't appear to be a .pdf reader currently in the browser.

Did you know that the height of some individual waves may be twice the height of the forecast seas? And may present an even greater danger near shore or any shallow waters?
NOAA Weather Radio
(NWR) frequencies & information
The NOAA Weather Radio
network provides voice broadcasts of local and coastal marine forecasts on a continuous
cycle. The forecasts are produced by local
National Weather Service Forecast Offices. Coastal stations also broadcast
tides and
real time observations from buoys and coastal meteorological stations
operated by NOAA's National
Data Buoy Center. Based on user demand, and where feasible, Offshore and Open Lake
forecasts are broadcast as well.
The NOAA Weather Radio
network provides near continuous coverage of the coastal U.S, Great Lakes,
Hawaii, and populated Alaska coastline. Typical coverage is 25 nautical
miles offshore, but may extend much further in certain areas.
To expand NOAA Weather Radio coverage in the State of Alaska, the National Weather Service (NWS) and U.S. Coast Guard are partnering to establish a network of
low-power five-watt NOAA Weather Radio transmitters at 24 USCG "high" sites located from the Dixon Entrance to Bristol
These low power transmitters operate on standard NWR frequencies
under joint licensing with the NWS. See NWR at USCG Sites in Alaska.
Locations of coastal NOAA Weather Radio stations are listed in the Station Listing and Coverage page.
Several NOAA Weather Radio transmitters operate as "Marine-Only", broadcasting marine information on a more rapid cycle than is possible with "All-Hazard" transmitters. These are typically established as part of a cooperative effort between the local marine community and the National Weather Service. For information on how to establish a "Marine-Only" NOAA Weather Radio transmitter in your area, contact the National Weather Service.
Channel numbers, e.g. (WX1, WX2) etc. have no
special significance but are often designated this way in consumer equipment.
Other channel numbering schemes are also prevalent.
Many NOAA Weather Radio receivers are also programmed for three additional frequencies; 161.650 MHz
(marine VHF Ch 21B), 161.775 MHz (marine VHF Ch 83B) and 163.275 MHz. The first two frequencies are used by Canada for marine weather broadcasts. 163.275 MHz was used by the National Weather Service for earlier weather broadcasts and later for internal coordination in the event of a power outage but is no longer in active use.
Most VHF marine radiotelephones have the ability to receive NOAA
Weather Radio broadcasts. However, it is recommended that a separate
NOAA Weather Radio receiver be carried aboard so that mariners may maintain
a simultaneous watch on NOAA Weather Radio and marine VHF channels.
Information on
Rules Which Require Listening to your VHF Marine Radio
are available courtesy of the
U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Telecommunications Information Webpage.
Recorded voice broadcasts have been largely supplanted by a computer-synthesized voice.
Click here to listen to a sample of a NOAA Weather Radio broadcast.
Efforts continue to both expand the coverage of the NOAA
Weather Radio network and improve the audio quality. The older
computer-synthesized voice was a product of 6-year-old technology and has been replaced in response to user demands for a clearer, more
human-sounding voice system.
If you hear words in a broadcast which you feel need to have the
pronunciation adjusted, forward your comments to the
appropriate NWS forecast office so they can attempt to improve the
1050 Hz TONE ALERTS
An automated 1050 Hz tone is transmitted to automatically turn on compatible
NOAA Weather Radio receivers when a severe weather situation exists in
the transmitters coverage area. Many (but not all) NOAA Weather Radio
receivers incorporate this feature. Many VHF marine radiotelephones
incorporate this feature, however, some require an active NOAA Weather Radio channel
must be selected and used in a non-scanning mode for the highest level of effectiveness. Therefore, it
is again recommended that a separate NOAA Weather Radio receiver be carried aboard so that mariners may maintain a simultaneous watch on NOAA Weather Radio and marine VHF channels.
Caution! - In accordance with national policy, at forecaster discretion, the 1050 Hz tone may not be transmitted for marine events. This is done to avoid frequently alerting users ashore and rendering the system impractical as a warning system for a large segment of the population.
A digital encoding system incorporating newer technology
known as Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME)
allows receivers equipped with the SAME feature
to sound an alert for only certain weather conditions
or within a limited geographic area such as a county.
As of yet, few VHF marine radiotelephones contain the SAME feature. These require an active NOAA Weather Radio channel
be selected and used in a non-scanning mode for the highest level of effectiveness. It is therefore again recommended that a separate NOAA Weather Radio receiver be carried aboard so that mariners may maintain a simultaneous watch on NOAA Weather Radio and marine VHF channels.
When using, the NOAA Weather Radio receiver must be programmed to the proper frequency, SAME geographic codes(s), and SAME event codes(s), in order to function as intended.
SAME geographic codes are used to program SAME-capable NOAA Weather Radio receivers to receive alert messages for user-specified areas.
For a listing of marine SAME geographic codes, see NOAA WEATHER RADIO
County by County Coverage or
Marine Text Forecasts by Zone. NOTE...Although SAME geographic codes exist for offshore forecast zones, Great Lakes MAFOR's and forecast synopses, they are not broadcast on NOAA Weather Radio. Marine SAME geographic codes do not presently utilize the 'County Sub-section' of the SAME geographic code, and therefore, the SAME geographic code for all marine zones begin with a leading zero.
Caution! - Mariners should be aware that many marine zones do not extend inland to include tributaries such as rivers and smaller bays. Mariners in these areas should program their NOAA Weather Radio with the SAME geographic code of the appropriate county.
It is further recommended that mariners also program their receivers with the SAME geographic codes of neighboring land and marine areas to maintain a greater level of weather awareness.
It is further recommended that mariners also program their receivers with the SAME geographic codes of neighboring land and marine areas to maintain a greater level of weather awareness.
For mariners in transit who are using NOAA Weather Radio receivers with SAME
capability, it is recommended the radio be set to the 'All County Code Option'
to avoid the need to continually reprogram the unit as the vessel moves along
the coast to prevent the possibility of missing important warnings.
In this mode, the receiver will alarm for all watches, warnings, and emergency
messages much like a conventional warning alarm receiver ensuring the greatest
margin of safety.
Caution! - Several NOAA Weather Radio SAME receivers contain a capability for receiving SAME alerts for all counties within a given state by setting the 'county code' portion of the SAME geographic code to '000', e.g. 024000 for the state of Maryland. However, SAME geographic codes for marine areas use pseudo-state codes as in the table below, and therefore, such a receiver will not alert for marine events unless properly programmed with the pseudo-state code for the user's marine area as follows:
Therefore for example, a mariner on Chesapeake Bay in Maryland using a NOAA Weather Radio with a SAME alert capability for receiving alerts for all counties within a given state, might wish to enter a SAME geographic code of '073000' to receive warnings of any marine weather event in the general area, rather than having to program the receiver for several neighboring marine zones. However, entering the SAME geographic code for Maryland, '024000', would not alert the user of any marine weather events.
At present, consumer radio equipment incorporating SAME, generally alert by
geographic area only and not for specific weather conditions (no user-programmable SAME event codes). If the receiver contains this feature, the mariner should program their receiver for the following SAME event codes which are applicable to marine zones. See Emergency Alert System/NWR-SAME Event Codes and your receivers operating manual for further information on event codes, including those for non-weather events.
SAME Event Codes of most interest to mariners and coastal residents:
* Not applicable to Great Lakes and Alaska forecast areas

Upholstery Cleaning Lakeshore Ontario
Upholstery? NO PROBLEM..
Upholstery cleaning is a lost art. It takes years to develop high level upholstery cleaning skills. We have been training others in the skills of fine fabric cleaning since 1995.
What's the big deal?
While carpets are manufactured with cleaning requirements in mind, this cannot as often be said for upholstered materials. Determining the fiber content is the only means to determine a safe cleaning method for a particular material. Concerns such as bleeding, shrinkage, shine loss, texture damage etc are all concerns we can alleviate through established testing methods. A technician should be able to describe to you the results you are to expect prior to beginning any cleaning process. This is the best sign of a true professional, adept at his/her craft.
Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners
Most carpet cleaners offer one process of cleaning whether it be a dry or wet method and we adjust that method to accommodate the 3 standard carpet materials. We have learned to adjust our one method to accommodate many styles and weaves.
In upholstery cleaning, even simply looking at those that are natural vs those that are synthetic demands two cleaning methods. We offer multiple methods and systems that allow us to properly treat and clean the wide array of materials we come across.

BuzzFeed Raises $50 Million From Andreessen Horowitz
Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is investing $50 million in BuzzFeed Inc., a New York-based viral content company that has been at the forefront of shifting trends in media consumption.
The profitable company, which started in 2006, grew quickly with its focus on lightweight, easily shareable content like lists, Internet memes and funny photos. More recently it has put resources into more traditional news coverage.
Andreessen Horowitz General Partner Chris Dixon, who was an early investor in BuzzFeed when he was with New York seed-stage venture firm Founder Collective, joins BuzzFeed's board.
The New York Times, which earlier reported the funding, said valuation was about $850 million and that the financing would go toward a major expansion.
Dixon said in a blog post announcing the funding that media consumption trends favor BuzzFeed:
We're presently in the midst of a major technological shift in which, increasingly, news and entertainment are being distributed on social networks and consumed on mobile devices. We believe BuzzFeed will emerge from this period as a preeminent media company.
BuzzFeed reaches more than 150 million people per month and will generate triple-digit-millions in revenue this year, Dixon wrote.
The company previously raised more than $46 million in four rounds of venture funding. Previous investors besides Founders Collective include Hearst, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, New Enterprise Associates, RRE Ventures, SoftBank Capital and SV Angel.
Jonah Peretti, the company's co-founder and chief executive, previously co-founded the Huffington Post, as did Ken Lerer, manager of Lerer Hippeau Ventures, who is BuzzFeed's chairman.

Everyone stinks of OB (as my aunt calls it) sometimes. (For those who haven't quite woken up yet, yes I do mean BO. Body Odour.)
Three UK readers will win a set of 4 items:
I am not a deodorant devotee basically because I find most of them too harsh on my pits, and I get a dry itchy rash whether its a spray or a roll on. However – I do use this range – Bionsen.
I used their crystal spray a while ago and found it a little difficult to look after (the crystals can start to stick together). But they have kept the natural element of their deodorant and incorporated it into easy to use roll on/sprays/creams.
Biosen contains Japanese spa minerals and has no parbens or aluminium. Bionsen simply prevents bacteria from growing and is as effective at neutralising body odours as the leading brands.
To Win tell me in the comments:
What is the smelliest thing you have ever smelt?
Meat in the heat. I was in a market when I was on holiday and this meat was just hung out there in the sun and it was the most pungent, horrid, mouldy stink.

Consortium Exam Preparation Workshop II
GlobalTradu Language Services
Saturday, January 26, 2013 from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM (PST)
Event Details
The Oral Portion of the Consortium Interpreter Exam for the State Courts can be tricky and challenging if you are not well prepared for it. Many people waste considerable amounts of time and money by repeatedly taking this test. This intensive exam-preparation workshop will give you the tools to have the upper-hand for the next round of testing this February.
The trick is to know "what & how" to study. With that in mind, some key highlights of this workshop are:
- An intensive focus on the texts, proceedings, and situations you will most likely encounter on the test.
- The identification of scoring units to substantially increase your scores on each component.
- Tips on how to improve the three modes of interpretation that you will encounter in this test: sight translation, consecutive interpreting, and simultaneous interpreting.
- Avoiding common pitfalls that can hinder your performance.
- Having the vocabulary arsenal: idioms, proverbs, expletives, false cognates, physical descriptions, automobile terms, weapons, drugs, among other relevant terms, that are commonly used in Interpreting standardized testing.
This workshop will include a brief review of the key strategies presented in session I, before focusing on the application of said strategies via many more practice exercises and mock testing-like activities. Several additional files (documents and recordings) will be presented and shared online with the attendes for future practice.

One of the distinct advantages to PC gaming is the keyboard and mouse combo, together which work better than any controller for a wide variety of games. Quick text entry, tons of buttons for macros, less menu hopping, and rapid camera movement in 3D shooters are just a few of the ways the keyboard/mouse combo excel. However, thanks to digital distribution and the revival of 2D, classic style retro games, there is a time when a console-like game controller just makes more sense.
Consoles generally have the advantage for controllers, getting excellent quality pads from Nintendo, Sony, Sega, and Microsoft. The PC has, traditionally, gotten the low quality third party peripherals that mimic, but rarely live up to the console pads they mimic. With such a wide variety to choose from, we've weeded through the lot of them to pick out 5 PC gamepads actually worth laying your hands on.
The first is known for... mice?

- A "grand lit" is a European double bed, suitable for couples, and can be smaller than the usual UK or American doubles. It is typically 130cm wide but in some instances may be wider; it is approximately 180cm to 190cm deep.
A bunk bed is two single beds, one on top of another. Some properties also have pull-out beds, sofa beds and/or bed chairs; in a few properties the bed can be low in a wooden frame on the floor. The beds often have terry cloth sheet mattress protectors to protect the mattresses; please use them with the bed linen.
Some properties may have a loft as a bedroom: this is usually an open room at the top of the house with sloping walls and mattresses on a low bed or on the floor itself. You need to climb a ladder to reach this room. Lofts are very popular with children but may not be suitable for adults or elderly guests.
If a property has an annexe then it will typically be a building attached to the main property or a small self-contained building. Annexes often have no central heating.
Please note that bedrooms in holiday rentals are usually not that large; you should refer to the floor plan to get a sense of size.
Quality rating
Quality rating: three stars. The agent rates this as a well-kept, middle of the range holiday property.
What are the consumption costs for electricity, gas, water etc.?
You will need to pay for the energy and water you use during your stay of which electricity is usually the most significant cost. Charges can be based on a fixed per day rate or by the amount of energy used (e.g. kilowatt hours for electricity). We can't give you a definite figure but as a rough guide you should expect to pay €10 per day for a two bedroom apartment and €20 per day for a 4 bedroom house in the summer months. Please note: air-conditioning is the biggest factor in any bill; if you leave it on all day and open the windows to let in some warm air when the room gets too cold then your electricity bill will soar. Again these cost estimates are a crude rule of thumb and are for guidance only.
Your local agent will advise you of the extra consumption costs when you arrive; these can include electricity, water, heating, gas, telephone calls, internet usage and any tourist taxes where applicable.
Do I need to do anything to arrange any pre-booked optional extras?
If you select any optional extras as part of your booking then you will need to confirm details with the local property manager after the booking has been fully paid. You will receive the property manager's contact details (phone number and/or email address) after you have paid for the booking and you should contact him or her to confirm details. If you cannot get hold of the property manager then please contact the Clickstay support team for further assistance.
Please note: you do not need to contact the property manager about any compulsory extras such as final cleaning (i.e. cleaning upon departure).

Since they declined Rod Barajas' $3.5 million option for 2013, the Pirates are now in need of a catcher to go along with Michael McKenry. Rob Biertempfel of the Trib wrote about how the Bucs are in the market for both a catcher and starting pitcher. The five catchers listed as possible targets are Gerald Laird, A.J. Pierzynski, Yorvit Torrealba, Kelly Shoppach, and Humberto Quintero; here are their resumes:
A few of these players are listed on Yahoo's Ultimate Free-Agent Tracker. It notes that "Pierzynski is not going to hit 27 home runs again, and he'll go back to what he was: a low-on-base guy whose propensity not to walk borders on historic. In Pierzynski's 12 seasons with at least 400 plate appearances, not once has he exceeded 30 walks." Shoppach "calls a decent game" and "can hit home runs." All it says for Laird is "this is where it starts to get bad" which signals a significant drop off in talented catchers.
Pierzynski's inability to get on base is a red flag, and he certainly isn't getting any younger. He'll probably get a pretty decent salary despite his age. MLB Trade Rumors predicted that A.J. will go to the Texas Rangers.
Shoppach is an interesting case. He only hit .233 in 2012 but can put up some decent power. A major problem for the Pirates last season was throwing out runners; Shoppach threw out 33% in 2012 (compared to Barajas' 6%). Plus he's never made more than $3 million in his career and could come on the cheap at age 33. Mets blog Rising Apple points out that Shoppach is "the one free-agent that has a good chance at returning to Flushing in 2013." Mets GM Sandy Alderson will seek outside help at catcher but could re-sign Shoppach if he can't find an upgrade.
According to Detroit GM Dave Dombrowski, Gerald Laird is looking for more playing time and more salary than the Tigers can offer. Laird wasn't tremendous at throwing out runners, as he caught just 10 of 52 (19%). For comparison, Michael McKenry threw out 13 of 74 (18%). He doesn't hit for much power and is a career .244 hitter.
Torrealba's 2012 season seems very similar to Barajas' 2011 before he came to the Pirates:
Barajas 2011 – age 35, $3.25 million salary, .230 avg, .717 OPS, 25% CS
Torrealba 2012 – age 33, $3.25 million salary, .227 avg, .623 OPS, 22% CS
…so he seems like Rod Barajas 2.0
Quintero is pretty much the same deal at .232 avg and an abysmal .523 OPS, along with 35% CS (17 out of 49), so he's not a very attractive candidate either.
It seems that Neal Huntington may be open to dealing Joel Hanrahan for a major league-ready catcher. Hammer may not be affordable at this point, and the market for closers is ridiculous. Many believe that closer is an overrated position and that they can be easily replaced. With that logic, it makes sense to deal Hanrahan, as long as the Pirates can get a solid return.
The market for catchers, both free agency and trade, is really slim, but the Bucs are in need of an upgrade. Tony Sanchez doesn't seem quite ready at Triple-A and the rest of the farm system is lacking. These free agent targets aren't intriguing, but Neal Huntington & Co. need to make something happen. It will be interesting to see how they approach the catching situation this offseason.

Icebreak Events and Publications
I am a new Mom, trying to get my startup off the ground. My business is 'Icebreak Events and Publications'. At the moment I produce an annual magazine, a guide to third level education. I intend to run conferences also. My background is in politically-themed and educational events and conferences. However, I would like my business appearance to be just vague enough to allow people to think that they can approach me to run any type of event.
I'm trying to get across that I am an established professional business, more than just one person and office-based - not that I'm a mother working from home inbetween changing diapers!
I am Irish, with the business based in Ireland. The target audience is Irish. Here, during the Celtic Tiger, we Irish appear to have moved away from the twee, green, Celtic designs of old Ireland and embraced modern, minimalistic design. Despite the death of the Celtic Tiger, I would like to stick with the modern concept.
Initially I will be sticking with what I know, which is politically-themed conferences, so I need to impress government bodies. I will be aiming to attract conference attendees from the corporate world, as well as from the public sector.
I would like a modern-looking logo, no swirly traditional fonts. I would like the word Icebreak to be the main concept, with 'Events and Publications' more as a subtitle. I like wordplay, so would be interested in seeing some sort of visual play on the word Icebreak. My domain name is simply http://www.icebreak.ie
As mentioned, I want to appear professional, as an established business, but with a personal touch, personal attention to detail. I feel that some sort of clever visual play on 'Icebreak' will give me that unique edge.
I like the concept that my friend has used in her design for http://www.redharbourevents.com I like how her logo is a play on the letter E and is a visual of a harbour. I also like how she is able to use her logo in her web page template.
If you look at the work on this site http://www.emagine.ie/portfolio/branding
I really like the logos for:
Irish Council for Bioethics
Nue Blue Eriu
Rock Camp
Sense of Style
Tales from the Home Farm
I don't like the others at all.
I can't explain why - perhaps you can find something in common between the ones that I like?

Here's a glimpse into our garden on this lovely November day..
|I love this 4 by 10 foot bed.. It's thickly planted
with arugula and spinach with young Red Russian
kale seedlings moved from other parts of the
garden. We'll eat the greens for months and then
the kale will take over in for a March bumper crop!
|The arugula-spinach-kale bed covered with a
medium weight row cover.. A mini hoop tunnel
will soon be erected over top.
|Beside the above mentioned bed, a bed of Japanese turnips,
two types of kale, radishes, arugula and mixed Asian greens.
|Here are those mixed Asian greens. Love the
crazy colours and textures! Oh yeah, they taste
pretty good too! :)
|Close up - Ruby Streaks mustard.. can't get
enough of this in salads.
|Oops.. the mild weather has made some of the Asian greens
bolt! No worries, the buds and flowers are edible too.
|Green Wave mustard.. gorgeous texture!
|Not sure who this mustard is, but his colour
is extreme red! A random ingredient in the mixed
Asian greens.
|Hello again Ruby Streaks!
|This Italian parsley is re-sprouting.. shall I take
my chances, dig it up and move it to a cold frame?
|An experiment - Various mustards and mizunas
thickly seeded on Oct 1st. Now they're 2 to 4
inches tall and will overwinter for Feb/March.
|The carrots are covered with their foot of leaves.
In the back, a mature mizuna has been giving us
non-stop salads since APRIL!! Crazy productive!
|Rainbow lacinato kale.. I love your blue-green,

|Done! This big bed is weeded and amended with

Rising Conflict in Iranian Kurdistan
Kurdish Herald Vol. 2 Issue 1, February 2010 -
by Sayeh Hassan
One of the most under-reported human rights issues in Iran is the current state of Kurdish political prisoners, and in particular, the current eighteen political prisoners who are on death row and may be facing imminent execution. Unfortunately, serious consequences and escalated conflict may be imminent if the conditions continue to be ignored.
While a few of the individuals on death row such as Farzad Kamangar, Zeynab Jalaliyan and Habibollah Latifi, have received some international attention, most of the Kurdish political prisoners facing execution are virtually unknown. There are currently eighteen Kurdish political prisoners on death row, two of whom are women. All of these individuals were subjected to torture and "tried" behind closed doors in sham trials, and in most cases, without the presence of their lawyers.
In the past two months, two Kurdish political activists have been executed by the Islamic Regime of Iran (IRI).
Kurdish students in the city of Kermanshah protest against the detainment of Kurdish political prisoners
A young Kurdish activist, Ehsan Fatahiyan, was the first to be executed on 11 November 2009. In the weeks leading up to his execution, a number of international and national campaigns were initiated in order to try to pressure IRI authorities not to carry out the execution. According to his lawyer, Fatahiyan underwent torture during his incarceration and IRI authorities were regularly using brutal torture tactics in order to force Fatahiyan to confess. Fatahiyan, however, refused to confess to the allegations against him and was subsequently executed.
In his last letter before being executed, Fatahiyan wrote: "If the rules and oppressors think that, with my death the Kurdish question will go away, they are wrong…they will only add to the flame of this fire."
Fatahiyan's letter may have generated some anxiety among government officials in the IRI. Certainly his words seemed to foretell the violent clashes that ensued days after his execution between protestors in the Kurdistan province and riot police. Lawmakers in Iran sent a letter to the judiciary following Fatahiyan execution warning the judicial authority about the risks of further alienating the ethnic Kurdish population. However, the warnings were not heeded and IRI authorities continued to carry out the sentences handed down by the courts.
On 6 January 2010, another young Kurdish activist Fasih Yasamani was executed in the city of Saqqez. Yasamani was 28 years old and was convicted in a show trial of being a member of the Kurdish rebel group, Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK). Similar to Fatahiyan, Yasamani underwent brutal torture while in the custody of authorities, and according to his lawyer, had been forced to give a confession about the allegations against him.
Civil unrest in Iran has been a frequently reported news story in the last year. For Kurds, unrest in Iran is all but a new phenomenon as the Kurdish regions have been the constant hotspot for clashes between people and the regime despite often going unreported due to a number of circumstances. However, the risk that the clashes and violence may raise to much higher levels as a result of the executions of peaceful Kurdish activists is troublesome. Already, an active Kurdish rebel party has stepped up its attacks. Last week, PJAK rebels took responsibility for the assassination of an Iranian prosecutor, Vali Haji Gholizadeh. Gholizadeh was infamously known by Kurds for demanding lengthy prison terms and executions for political prisoners. He was also the prosecutor who had asked for the death sentence of Yasamani.
There is great concern that this recent assassination may lead to a backlash by the IRI and more executions of Kurdish political prisoners. Although there have been numerous assassinations of judges and religious figures in Iranian Kurdistan in the recent months, this is the first time that PJAK has taken responsibility for an assassination. The executions of activists by the IRI may only further generate support for and empower groups like PJAK. The impact of repression on conflict is certainly not a new concept. The result may be an increased propensity for rebellion in the Kurdish regions and an influx of support for armed resistance.

If Andy Accardi were calling the shots, he would have herded as many up-and-coming athletic trainers as he could fit into his Dodge Caravan and driven them from St. Louis to the Sauk Valley.
Accardi attended the 2012 National Athletic Trainers Association meeting June 27-29. As he watched a seemingly endless stream of athletic trainers fresh out of college flow through the student lounge at the Edward Jones Dome, Accardi undoubtedly was brought back to 1992.
He'd just finished his graduate studies at the University of Nebraska, where he earned his master's degree in education administration and roamed the sidelines as a graduate assistant athletic trainer for one of the most celebrated programs in college football history – during the Tom Osborne era, no less.
He also was the head athletic trainer for the track and field program. Two days after returning from the outdoor championships in New Orleans, he received a letter from Medical Arts Center in Sterling, which sought someone who could help launch its sports medicine program. A finalist for a job at Indiana University, he nearly balked at the opportunity.
Related: Full-time athletic trainers bond with athletes
"I actually threw the envelope away once and pulled it back out for a second look," Accardi says.
Jumping on the opportunity found Accardi on the sidelines for the first Newman Central Catholic football game of the 1992 season.
Nineteen years later, he and KSB Hospital's Dr. Joseph Welty have built the gold standard for sports medicine in prep sports. He doesn't miss the 80,000-plus seats at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., as much as you'd think.
"At Nebraska, you were treated not just as a member of some big team," Accardi says. "You were a family member. And Newman is the exact same way.
"The only thing that's different is the size of the stadium we're playing in. The size of the kids' hearts is the same."
Newman and Sterling are the only two high schools Sauk Valley Media covers that have a full-time athletic trainer. How do they make an arrangement like Accardi's happen?
That's the $64,000 question – as in, it often comes down to the almighty dollar.
With some creativity, a school could staff an athletic trainer for $15,000 or less.
Related: Train of thought needs re-training
"It's the best money you'll ever spend," Newman football coach and Athletic Director Mike Papoccia said. "You can't afford to not spend it."
"On top of a teacher's salary, what is $10,000 to $15,000 more?" Accardi said. "That was a big focus in St. Louis – the difference it makes to have someone there every day."
Referrals preferable
On the surface, it's admirable that clinics contract their athletic trainers to high schools free of charge.
But the arrangement ultimately has to make sense – and cents – for the clinic in the form of referrals.
FHN used to provide athletic trainers to Eastland High School for football games, but eventually dropped the school because the reciprocation wasn't enough.
"The trainers were very good at what they did," Eastland Athletic Director Doug Johnson said. "But they said we weren't providing enough referrals. Unfortunately, money talks."
Geography alone can hamstring what clinics will afford. FHN provided the West Carroll Thunder with an athletic trainer for two games last season, but the nearly hour-long drive to Savanna proved too much to make it a regular occurrence.
"It's so important these days to have an athletic trainer, and I would love to have one," West Carroll Athletic Director Clint Cowman said.
Help wanted?
Cowman is anything but alone. Most local athletic directors would love to have a trainer. And not just under the lights on Friday nights, but in every arena.
"It's a hot button in sports, whether it's basketball, football or whatever sport," said Fulton Athletic Director Derek Germann, who's been a teacher at the school for 19 years and has served as athletic director for 6.
The bulk of those schools without trainers annually discuss the need for a trainer in some capacity, especially given the recent spike in concussion awareness.
"We talk about it every year," AFC Athletic Director Ric Cupp said, "but finances are tough."
Cupp points out that some schools – such as Oregon, Milledgeville and Bureau Valley – get a great deal on their trainers.
Even if it's on Friday nights only, John Cain is on the sideline for the Hawks – and he has been for almost 20 years, which has allowed him to build trust with the coaches and players alike.
"I've got a lot of confidence in him, especially with urgent things in games or practice," Oregon head football coach John Bothe said. "He always makes the right call, whether it's to keep a kid out or get him back into the game."
Milledgeville alumnus Darrick Druce works every home Missiles football game and also worked all the Sauk Valley Predators home games during their inaugural basketball season.
Scott Salisbury lives in the Bureau Valley school district, which his kids attend. He is not only at all the home football games, but also visits the high school every Tuesday and Thursday to work with athletes. Before last year, he visited just one day a week.
A Storm booster, Salisbury works for a cut rate.
"It's really not enough for his services, but he's happy to do it," Bureau Valley football coach and Athletic Director Jeff Ohlson admits.
Build a family
Welty has helped set the bar not only at Newman, but also within the Accardi family as their physician.
"I will put him up against anyone in the nation," Accardi said. "He doesn't want to be there for the glory. He's there for the kids. He believes in Newman, and he loves Newman."
The two met 12 years ago, when Welty's son, Anthony, was getting his equipment for the football season.
It's just one of many serendipitous encounters that expedited Accardi's success. The memory also reminds him to keep his eyes open for opportunities.
He saw dozens of them chomping at the bit in St. Louis.
"I could've gotten a kid out of college who would've busted his ass and made an immediate impact," Accardi laments. "Even if they'd move on in 2 years, it would be worth it. And who knows? Maybe they'll like it, like the area and settle down.
"Look at me."
Who's got what?
On Friday nights, you can expect to see the following medical personnel on their respective school's sideline:
Amboy – Dr. Kurt Crowe, from KSB; EMTs
AFC – Chiropractor; volunteer EMTs from fire department
Bureau Valley – Part-time athletic trainer Scott Salisbury; EMTs
Dixon – Dr. David Deets, KSB Dixon; EMTs
Eastland-Pearl City – EMTs
Erie-Prophetstown – Physical therapist from Hammond-Henry in Geneseo; EMTs
Milledgeville – Part-time athletic trainer Darrick Druce, EMTs
Morrison – Volunteer chiropractor Dr. John Miller; EMTs from Morrison Health Care Center
Newman – Full-time athletic trainer Andy Accardi; at least one of the following: Dr. Joseph Welty; Dr. Shawn Hanlon; Dr. William Long; Dr. Jonathan Ortman; all from KSB; EMTs
Oregon – Part-time athletic trainer John Cain; EMTs
Rock Falls – Part-time athletic trainer Shane Brown; EMTs
Sterling – Full-time athletic trainer Andi Sumerfelt; Dr. Tyler Gunderson, from KSB; EMTs
Fulton – Vounteer EMTs
Polo – Occasionally a volunteer athletic trainer; paid EMTs
West Carroll – EMTs

Simple photon power law.
where is the energy index of power law.
The user is cautioned that simple power laws can have unintended consequences owing to the fact that they are automatically extrapolated to the lowest (0.1 eV) and highest (1 MeV) energies employed in the calculation. This can cause processes such as stimulated recombination and Compton cooling to dominate the model results, and may not represent a physically realistic result. These effects can be avoided by the use of a simple file spectrum as demonstrated below.

... And It's All In Syracuse, New York
When heading off to the 11th Syracuse Nationals it was easy to take in many of the area's sights. Cruising through the Finger Lakes region not only offers some of the finest views, but also the chance to stop by and visit any one of the 60 local wineries. The National Baseball Hall of Fame (a short hop away) in Cooperstown is filled with historical artifacts from when the game first heard the crack of a bat. Syracuse, a city rich in culture, was also the birthplace of the Franklin automobile and currently boasts one of the largest collections of automobile memorabilia at the Museum of Automotive History; complemented by superb architecture, top-notch restaurants, and great nightlife, the area possesses a winning combination.
The New York State Fairgrounds is an enormous facility encompassing 360 acres featuring some of the coolest tree-lined roads, vintage buildings, horse barns, and open-air eateries, evoking plenty of nostalgic charm at every corner. With a show program and map in hand it was time to park your ride and go exploring to check out the hordes of stoke rods, customs, and muscle cars lining every crevice. While planning out your weekend there was plenty to do, starting with the informative tech seminars presented by many of the industry's leading manufacturers, like Meguiar's, Lokar, and Tremec. With hundreds of vendors lining the roadways and filling the interior of the main exhibition hall it was easy to check out technology now available to us. You can always count on the chance to meet some of Hollywood's well-known legends and this year there were plenty of crowds gathered for an opportunity to talk with both Candy Clark and Paul LeMat of American Graffiti fame. Racking up the miles on his new Shadow Rods XL27 roadster pickup, Jerry Dixey and the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour rolled into town to greet countless fans who had plenty of interesting questions about his experiences on the road.
This year the team at the Right Coast turned up the heat to bring even more excitement to the weekend. Wanting to create a special signature award for the Syracuse Nationals, a call was placed to legendary car customizer Gene Winfield to help design and create the very prestigious Winfield Award bearing his name. Through an application process, Winfield hand-selected six cars, which were recognized as the Winfield Select Six. Owners arrived from all over the country and Canada to compete for the inaugural award, which was presented by Meguiar's and included a custom-made trophy, jacket, and check for $5,000. When decision time came, Winfield gave the coveted award to Rich and Paige Udell of Swan Lake, Montana, for their '32 Ford roadster "Timeless". With the success of their Old Skool Roundup in years past, a decision was made to extend the get-together from its original one day through the entire weekend, and to also give it a special mini-venue all its own. A huge open-air pavilion hosted the festivities with hundreds of traditional rods and customs grouped together creating a neat cultural experience for both the car owners and visitors. The happening featured its own specialized trophies, vendors, and searing rockabilly music from the amps of bands like Larry Holt & The Good Acoustics, The Pete Paycheck Band, El Kabong, and Glenn Beaman (as Elvis). Another very successful portion of the event is Artie's Party, a massive pinstriping panel jam that brings in some of the finest talents in the country to create unique artwork to be auctioned off for charity.
The Jeep Rocks & Road Tour was also set up at the infield area allowing visitors to sign up and have a chance to testdrive many of their new Jeep vehicles on a controlled off-road course with trained instructors over many of the challenging driving surfaces they prepared.
This all sounds like a pretty full dance card right? Well, as the sun began to set it was time to head out, fuel up, grab a bite, and head back to the grandstands at the fairgrounds to await the kick off of the evening's festivities. Taking nearly a year to organize, the presentation included an endless tire-burning competition, old-timey figure-eight racing, demolition derby, and scorching flamethrowers with jaw-dropping exhibitions of pyrotechnics, which was capped by a dramatic fireworks display. One of the most anticipated portions of the weekend was the endless giveaway program that commenced on Sunday afternoon. A signature of the Syracuse Nationals, crowds of registered attendees gathered at the main stage to see if they might have the magic number in hand to be lucky enough to take home this year's giveaway car: a hopped-up '70 Nova built by Chop-Shop Customs of Woburn, Massachusetts. By the time the excitement ended, it was Spike Furman of Colonie, New York, who was the lucky one with the keys. By the time the extravaganza came to an end, over 7,300 registered cars cruised the fairgrounds while 85,000 visitors came to check out the vibe.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the Central New York Car Club Association (who host the event) and area service clubs, donations were made from proceeds of the event in the amount of $70,000 (which included $47,478 from the Panel Jam auctions) to a number of local charities bringing the 11-year donation total to $431,000. If you're looking for an event that has it all, mark your calendar now for the 12th anniversary next year because it's sure to be a blast. You can check it all out at www.rightcoastcars.com.

'40 Ford pickup
With the fairgrounds packed to the brim with event participants at the Syracuse Nationals, it was a perfect time for STREET RODDER and Ford Racing's recognition of street rodders who install a late-model Ford engine in a Ford hot rod.
Our weekend search led us to David and Susan Ciappa of Lockport, New York, who are our latest award recipients with their dramatic '40 Ford pickup fitted with an SVT 5.4L supercharged crate V-8 linked to a Ford AODE transmission. To get just the right stance, a custom triangulated three-bar rear suspension with RideTech ShockWaves keeps a Currie 9-inch rearend planted while a Heidts IFS with RideTech ShockWaves brings the frontend to the ground. A mirror-straight body was chopped 1-1/2 inches and covered in plenty of PPG Blood Red vibe expertly accenting the custom Dayton wire wheels capped with Falken Z-rated tires. Inside the cab, a pair of black leather Recaro seats and sculpted panels keeps everything comfy while Vintage Air and tunes from Alpine set the mood. Congratulations to David and Susan who will receive a limited-edition jacket as the Best Ford in a Ford award winner.
Tech Tips
Looking at the new 5.0L in the '11 Ford Mustang? While Ford has made big news about the engine being all new and a radical departure from previous modular engines, they did us a huge favor by retaining the same bellhousing pattern and engine mount pattern and placement as the modulars before it. Also, the exhaust spacing is identical, so all we need now is a set of Sanderson headers with the new 5.0L flange and we're in business!
Introducing The Winfield Award
When it came time for the team at the Right Coast to develop a special new event award for the Syracuse Nationals, they looked to one of the most well-recognized customizers in history, Gene Winfield, to be the creative force behind it. Winfield's rich history as a custom car builder and designer dates back to the mid-'40s, and his magnificent creativity has garnered a vast array of memorable cars along the way including the "Reactor", "Jade Idol", and "Maybelline", to name but a few. Candidates for the award from all over the country and Canada submitted an application form along with images of their car (there were 75 applicants) for Winfield to personally review and make a selection of what was known as the "Winfield Select Six" to compete for the Winfield Award. Each of the finalists, upon arrival to the show, received a customized plaque, jacket, and $500 award. The winner was announced Saturday evening at the annual Syracuse Nationals dinner dance where they received the Etrick Enterprises-designed trophy from Winfield as well as a one-off jacket and check for $5,000 from Meguiar's, the award presenter. This year it was Rich and Paige Udell of Swan Lake, Montana, whose '32 roadster "Timeless" took home the inaugural honors. With the uniqueness of this very special award, we can easily see the applications for consideration continue to grow in the future.

The Tarfest Music and Art Festival is one of those best kept secrets in L.A.
About to kick-off its 11th year Saturday, what's not to love about a free, family-friendly gathering with emerging bands, artists painting on giant canvases live, on-demand poetry, a beer garden and tented activities for the kids?
"Actually, the name is a bone of contention with a lot of people," says James Panozzo, who created the festival as a way to celebrate Los Angeles arts. "People either love or hate the name – it's so bizarre. I've had board members say 'Let's talk about changing the name.'
"But it's exactly what it is."
The half-day long festival takes over the lawn at LaBrea Tar Pits and is produced by LAUNCH LA, a non-profit organization founded by Panozzo in the Miracle Mile neighborhood – home to world class museums, concert venues and mammoth discoveries. It features a handful of rock bands handpicked by KCSN 88.5 FM's Music Director Mark Sovel. They include Nightmare Air, a band that was formed four years ago so that Dave Dupuis and his longtime girlfriend, Swaan Miller, could spend more time together.
Jimmy Lucido rounds out the band on drums.
Last year, Nightmare Air put out "High in the Lasers."
"We've all made indie records and with this one, I really wanted a high production record with crisp sounds that really are like those '80 and '90s bands that we love; sharp but melodic," says Dupuis, 39, who grew up in New Hampshire listening to Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins and grunge and later went on to play in the indie band Film School. "With this project, we went more with the hi-fi aesthetic."
Tarfest marks the last of Nightmare Air's year-and-a-half long club tour in support of the new album. Instead of performing on stage in a sea of fog and flashing lights for a 21 and over crowd, the band will be performing outdoors in front of festivalgoers, some with kids in tow.
"Kids under 9 usually don't come to the show," says Dupuis, chuckling. "But as a kid I grew up doing those things. I have vivid memories of going to concerts with my mom. I think it's important to begin awareness of the art scene at an early age or any age for that matter."
Other musical performers scheduled to perform include Saint Motel, Echosmith, Tapioca and the Flea, and Irontom. Accomplished artists will be set up on large-scale easels where they'll be starting and completing a fully rendered work on 8-by-8 foot canvases. In addition, the Poem Store will be offering up custom poetry on the spot and a beer garden, food trucks and activities with Japan Foundation of Los Angeles with the Petersen Automotive Museum (for the first few hours) top off the all-ages event from 2 to 8 p.m. Saturday. Tarfest is at 5801 Wilshire Blvd. Admission is free, but parking isn't. For discounted $12 parking, visit www.tarfest.com where you can also get more information about the event.

We've heard all of the old wives' tales when it comes to at-home remedies for cleaning jewellery--toothpaste supposedly shines your diamonds, ketchup helps polish silver, and a bit of beer will enhance gold's lustre. Knowing what actually works and what doesn't is a trial and error process we'd rather avoid, which is why we've asked jewellery designer and 2013 CFDA Award nominee Irene Neuwirth for her expert advice on the matter. . Continue reading for all of her tips and tricks to keep your favourite precious stones and costume bijoux looking their best!
Caring For Softer Stones (emeralds, opals, garnets, pearls, coral, turquoise, jade, onyx, malachite, and amber)
While Neuwirth likes a soft toothbrush--think of it as your best cleaning assistant--to get in between prongs and settings, she also recommends a chamois cloth to help polish and shine.
To scrub away dust, dirt, oil, and rust, use a toothbrush with mild soap--according to Neuwirth, basic hand soap will do the trick--then rinse in soapy warm tap water and pat dry with a towel.
Caring For Harder Stones (diamonds, sapphires, rubies)
"Ultrasonic cleaning devices are great, especially for jewellery that has been heavily worn over an extended period of time," Neuwirth says. (Note: an ultrasonic system uses high-frequency pressure sound waves to agitate water and remove contamination embedded on the surfaces of jewellery.) She suggests using the ultrasonic for 5-10 minutes (depending on cleanliness) and following up with a toothbrush dipped in warm cleaning solution to get the hard-to-reach surfaces. We like Sharper Image's Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner ($60).
Caring For Metals (gold, platinum, silver)
?Dish soap and warm water works best on metals. The Lavender Clean Day Liquid Dish Soap ($8) by Mrs. Meyers is our favourite because it's gentle and smells good too! Neuwirth also points out that metals are completely safe in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I had the great good fortune of scouring the D.C. Big Flea with Eddie Ross and Jaithan Kochar on Saturday and was it ever a treat. They came on my radar last October when Lonny published photos of their 1760s farmhouse in Millerton, NY. Before I even read the story I printed this shot of their mud room - everything I love about fall on one coat rack! Plus that tote bag and those horsebits, which in fact I love all year round.
As you might imagine, Eddie is just brimming with brilliant ideas, and he shares them in such an exciting and practical way. Stopping at a stand full of what was, to my eyes, stodgy turkey china, Eddie zeroed in on a particular piece with pretty lime green and rosy pink details, saying well of course he'd do something to pull out that green, gingham napkins in the same shade perhaps? And we can't ignore the pink. Anchored then with something crisp and white and maybe brown, too - and voila, a perfectly and at once modern and traditional Thanksgiving table. Mom, if you're reading, brace yourself - I'm reeling with ideas for the holidays!
Turning the corner to a table chock full of old silver, Eddie picked up a few little olive forks - rather than showing up at a soiree with a bottle of wine for the hostess, why not go bearing vodka? Tied up with olives and a beautiful silver olive fork? I know I'd love it.
The afternoon went on just like this, at every stop, bargains, ideas, and new ways of seeing. It was all so joyful and contagious. I left the market with two prizes - a 1940s book of Georgetown homes (the old photos are priceless), and my own pretty olive fork (which, I might add, is the first piece of silver I've purchased myself - a milestone). And of course too I left with Eddie's many pearls of wisdom. To Eddie and Jaithan, thanks a million for the fun afternoon. You're both such inspirations! XO

This year's CMA Awards were great, and the ratings showed it:
16.8-million people watched the show for a 10.1-Rating/16-Share and won each time-slot during the show's 3-hours. This was ABC's biggest non-sportsWednesday audience in over 4-years.
CMT.com reports that their website experienced its highest-streamed CMA Awards week in history this year, with 1.6 million video streams in three days. CMT.com's CMA Red Carpet experienced a 25% increase in live streams over last year. They also had a 74% increase in video streams alone on the day after the awards.
This blog saw a 280% jump in page views overall, with the increased traffic being contributed to the awards and other factors.
As far as sales the week after the show... Good news, bad news.
Jamey Johnson saw an increase of 286% compared to the previous week sales of the current album. Lady Antebellum up 130%, Sugarland up 136%, Sugarland up 110%, Brad Paisley was up 94%, Darius Rucker up 83%, Zac Brown Band up 55%, Taylor Swift 30%, and Miranda Lambert up 25%.
Even with all the individual success of the week, it wsan't that good for country music as a whole. Sales were down 7% from the previous week, with Carrie Underwood's "Play On" in the top sales position with 128,000 in sales.

Linklaters has won an injunction limiting what its former director of Business Development and Marketing can tell the press about behind-the-scenes 'Incidents' involving women at the firm.
The firm's decision to seek to gag Frank Mellish, who sat on Linklaters' executive committee and was party to top level discussions, came after he emailed senior partners on 23 January warning them that he intended to "share my impressions of the current culture at Linklaters" with the media in a series of interviews he intended to grant in February. They would have focused on the "ongoing struggle Linklaters has with women in the workplace".
Mellish issued his threat after Linklaters terminated his role last year after just over 12 months in the job. Mr Justice Warby's order, handed down in the RCJ on 31 January after an urgent application by Linklaters, reveals that Mellish told partners he was dissatisfied with being dismissed and would highlight three matters in his interviews with the press. Warby J referred to them in the judgment as the 'Munich Incident', the 'NY Settlement' and the 'London Settlement'.
The Munich Settlement almost certainly refers to the disastrous 2014 Linklaters Oktoberfest party at which a student was sexually assaulted by a Linklaters partner, 'Thomas E', who was caught in the act by another partner who punched him in the face. This week Thomas E lost his appeal against his conviction for sexual assault after the court dismissed his argument that the sexual acts were consensual, and rejected his demands for a polygraph test. Linklaters' injunction prevents Mellish from disclosing the identity of Thomas E's victim.
The stories behind the NY Settlement and the London Settlement are not in the public domain, but the injunction gives the gist. The section dealing with the NY Settlement restrains Mellish from revealing the identity of a Linklaters' staff member "and those about whose conduct they complained", along with "two other categories of information". The section addressing the London Settlement prevents him from disclosing the identity of a Linklaters staff member and "those about whom they made complaints", including "a former Linklaters partner".
Warby J said that Linklaters accepted that there was "a legitimate public interest in the due performance by large firms such as Linklaters of their social and moral duties towards their staff". But, he said, that did not "justify indiscriminate disclosure of otherwise sensitive confidential information".
It seems unlikely that Mellish would be so rash as to have been intending to disclose the identities of victims of alleged sexual assault (or, risk defamation proceedings by disclosing the identities of alleged perpetrators). But Linklaters may have felt that, having been forewarned, it could not risk doing nothing. And its successful application also happens to prevent Mellish from disclosing "any detail as to the internal discussions within Linklaters as to their public response to any third party interest or questions in relation to any of the above matters". Which neatly keeps Mellish from characterising for the enjoyment of the press certain sensitive, high-level conversations to which he may have been party.
Linklaters' battle to protect its reputation from its own former chief of reputation is not over, however. The injunction does not prevent Mellish from discussing "in general terms" his impressions of the current culture at Linklaters. It is also only an interim measure, and is set for review on 11 February. In the meantime, it does require him to 'fess up the names of any reporters with whom he shared information which is now protected.
A spokesman for Linklaters said, "We can confirm that the firm sought and has been granted an interim injunction in the terms set out in the judgment handed down by the court. We cannot comment further".
Mellish has said nothing, yet. He was not at the hearing and is thought to be in France. Meanwhile, a source who worked in the firm's Munich office in the aftermath of the Munich Incident told RollOnFriday that an unofficial injunction was put in place there. "Stonewall of silence about the issue erected", they said. "No one in the office allowed to talk about it. German hierarchy in full effect."
