Like many deities in this part of the world, he is extremely remote. He lives several miles up in the sky where he occasionally rumbles like thunder.
But he's certainly not lightning-fast. Messages take a long time to get through to him as they must pass through layer upon layer of interminable intermediaries.
By the time he gets around to answering the urgent pleas of his worshipers, most of them have either died of the disease they were complaining about or else forgotten whatever it was they wanted in the first place.
Perhaps that's just as well because MULUNGU's outgoing messages tend to arrive as gibberish after their lengthy bureaucratic fermentation downwards.

Hillary voters under 30 and aged 30-49:
A similar age pattern exists among Trump voters, just depressingly shifted nearly 50 points in the direction of support:
Stripping away political orientation, then, we see that there is a substantial generational divide when it comes to policing the world:
This is Feryl's wheelhouse. Boomers hate the idea of being "isolationists".
Supporting that assessment, there are marginal differences among white and non-white Hillary voters, with the former only slightly more supportive. The modest differences we see among Hillary's coalition is accounted for by age, as older Hillary voters are of course whiter than younger ones are:
For those who want to maintain the 666-dimensional-chess analogy, the attack could be seen as trying to further split the Hillary and Bernie wings of the Democrat party by driving the wedge hard into the coalition of the fringes, while simultaneously bringing butthurt cucks and neocons back into the fold without much political downside.
That strikes me as fanciful thinking, however. And I intentionally use "fanciful" rather than "wishful" here. As Z-Man puts it:
Trump is wildly unpredictable, at least he seems unpredictable. That's a big part of how he plays the game. He wants everyone to think the range of choices for him include some collection of unknown options that no one has yet to consider. That keeps foes on the defensive, making them tentative, even when they have the advantage. By appearing to have no clear strategy and routinely breaking old habits, Trump appears to be a wild man, who is capable of anything. Therefore, there's no way to plan for him.He greatly expanded the Overton Window and provided a template for hungry, aspiring politicians to follow in the future. We can hope for him to be something more than a transitional figure, but we'd be foolish to expect it.

Hi Gail, thank you for stopping by. Since I live in Portugal, even if told where I bought it, it wouldn't really help you. But I'm pretty sure I still have one of the packages it came into, so I'll check it out this weekend and let you all know. Maybe with a brand name it will be easier for you to find it...Delete

You know the joke when people say they pin a bunch of things they'll never do/cook/wear? Well, I can tell you right now I am NOT one of those people ;-) I take my style/decor/cooking inspiration via Pinterest very seriously! HAHA! After seeing this cute pin, I knew I wanted to recreate the look! It was easy considering I already had a plaid shirt, white sweater, and a striped vest.
I wore the sweater/shirt/booties combo to work, but instead of the vest and distressed jeans, I wore black skinny jeans instead to make myself look a little more professional. When I came home and wanted to be more relaxed and casual, I added the vest and these jeans for a fun look. I'm excited to layer this vest with my other tops as well. The thing I love about Pinterest is getting inspiration I wouldn't have otherwise. I don't think I would have layered this vest over this particular sweater until I saw it in my feed. And guess what? I liked it! :-)

|Image: Marvel
Three years ago Marvel Studios unleashed the poodle that was Captain America: The First Avenger. Gentle, loyal, sophisticated but a bit of bore, The First Avenger proved to be the weakest among the studios' top dogs. Thor's hammer produced a hit, we couldn't get enough of Iron Man, and records were broken when the Avengers assembled, and so, naturally, The Captain had some catching up to do. Fast forward a few years, a tepid Thor (The Dark World) and a mediocre Iron Man 3 and we have Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Marvel's strongest foray since The Avengers.

For what it is, Logan is a fine movie. Its tone sets it apart from the typical superhero blockbuster; instead it feels much more Terminator. But while the character depth is there, the development of these characters stays very much within the expected and predetermined. There is nothing new or interesting offered.
We all know Logan (aka Wolverine), or if you don't, I'm not sure why you're watching this movie. The future is here, and Logan is the last Mutant. He's got Charles X locked away and is dosing him up with stuff to keep him tame so that his powers don't go out of control. (Sort of like an old man's bladder, Charles can't always hold his powers in.) There's an albino aide named Caliban, too, helping Logan care for Charles.
Logan works as, for lack of a better current analogy, an Über Black driver. He's accosted by a Spanish woman who wants him to take her and a girl to North Dakota. She's willing to pay $50k. But of course this woman and girl are being pursued by a team of tough men because (surprise, not) the girl is actually part of a secret project to create and train mutant fighters.
As I said, it all goes as expected. Logan does it for the money, albeit reluctantly, but then finds himself caring about this girl. We go from action scene to action scene, soft moment to soft moment, until we come to the big finale fight. Shrug.
There are true moments of humor here, at least, that help elevate the otherwise somber mood.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, a bit. But I would have enjoyed it more if there'd been something a little surprising about it. As it stands, Logan is rather rote. Not for a superhero movie—it's better than most of those—but for any movie. It feels like a throwback, which makes it feel like something I've seen before. Maybe not recently, but that's beside the point.

We are happy to announce our very first meetup in Malmö Sweden!
Join us for an evening of Elasticsearch fun with our own Honza Kral.
16.30 - Drinks and networking
17.00 - Make sense of your (big) data using Elasticsearch - Honza Kral
In this talk I would like to show you a few real-life use-cases where Elasticsearch can help you make sense of your data. We will start with the most basic use case of searching your unstructured data and move on to more advanced topics such as faceting, aggregations and structured search. I would like to demonstrate that the very same tool and dataset can be used for real-time analytics as well as the basis for your more advanced data processing jobs. All in a distributed environment capable of handling terabyte-sized datasets. All examples will be shown with real data and python code demoing the new libraries we have been working on to make this process easier.
17.30 - Amazing Log Management with Elasticsearch and Kibana in .NET - Emil Cardell
Elasticsearch and Kibana is an easy to use open source stack that gives us both great aggregation and search capabilities with a user friendly UI.
In this session we will use LogFlow, a .net replacement to LogStash, to move logs from disk to stunning visuals.
If you haven't seen Elasticsearch and Kibana before. Be prepare to be amazed.
After the presentation: Beers and Pizza and mingle time!
Speaker: Honza Kral - Elasticsearch
Honza is a Python programmer and Django core developer – since he is scared of the bright and shiny world of browsers, designers, and users he prefers to stay buried deep in the infrastructure code and just provides others with tools to do the actual site-building.
Since 2008 Honza has been building content web sites for fun and profit. During this time he discovered Elasticsearch which lead to him joining the company behind it in 2013 to work on the Python drivers.
Speaker: Emil Cardell - Thomas Cook Northern Europe
Always looking for ways to find developer happiness, he looks outside the box and works actively to encourage developers to step out of their comfort zone to grow their love for creating amazing web applications. He is engaged in the developer community, speaking at conferences and contributing to multiple open source projects. Emil Cardell has been working on large public websites, communities and intranets for more than a decade, currently at Thomas Cook in Stockholm. Twitter: @emilcardell

| Investing in Antiques: Schoolgirl Needlework
by Nancy N. Johnston
Fig. 1:
Sampler, Fitzwilliam, NH, by Betsey Fay, 1818. Silk, chenille, metal, and painted paper on linen. 20-3/4 x 20-3/4 inches. Courtesy of Stephen and Carol Huber.
In the final chapter of her two-volume publication
Girlhood Embroidery
(1993), Betty Ring, the foremost authority on schoolgirl needlework, provides an in-depth history of collecting this art form, which she traces back to the 1860s. An early prominent collector was Alexander Wilson Drake (1843-1916). Samplers from his collection were exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, in 1908 and at the Cincinnati Art Museum in 1909. In 1913, when the Drake collection was auctioned at the American Art Galleries in New York, one of its highlights brought $57. At the Theodore H. Kapnek sale at Sotheby's in 1987, the first sale devoted solely to American needlework, the same piece was auctioned again for $44,000, yielding a respectable 9.4 percent compounded annually. To put this into perspective, a comparative rate of return for stocks over the same time period was 9.5 percent and 4.4 percent for bonds. Dealers of girlhood embroidery Carol and Stephen Huber of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, showed me the price history of a piece of needlework they handled several times dating back to 1974 by a girl named Betsey Fay (Fig.1). As lot 51 in the Garbisch sale at Sotheby's in 1974 it was sold to John Walton for $700. The Hubers acquired and sold the piece on a number of subsequent occasions. In 1977 they sold it for $3,500, and in 1999 the piece went for $65,000. The compounded rate of return over a twenty-five year period was an impressive annual 19.87 percent. Dealer Amy Finkel of M. Finkel and Daughter, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sold twice over the last decade an 1804 sampler by Sarah Gaskell (Fig. 2). Ms. Finkel placed this masterpiece privately in 2003 for $400,000.
Fig. 2:
Sampler, Burlington County, NJ, by Sarah Gaskill, 1804. Silk, watercolor, and paper on linen, 17 x 17 inches. Sold into a private collection in 2003 for $400,000. Photography courtesy of M. Finkel and Daughter.
The earliest known American sampler was made in 1653 by Loura Standish, daughter of Miles Standish, military captain to the Plymouth Colony pilgrims. Today, heavily worn, it can be seen at Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There are other seventeenth-century American samplers, but many resemble those made in England so it is difficult to identify their origin. In the early eighteenth century, as American society became more established, girls as young as five years old were sent to boarding or day schools where they learned, among other skills, the art of needlework. According to Ruth Van Tassel of Van Tassel/Baumann American Antiques, of Malvern, Pennsylvania, displays of needlework were testaments to a family's economic means and social status.
Schoolgirls in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had to master different levels of embroidery. The most basic were marking samplers with which the schoolgirls exhibited their knowledge of numbers and the alphabet. (These were not usually framed for display.) Young ladies then graduated to a form referred to as pictorial needlework. These were more complex and included intricate borders and mottos, the more elaborate examples replaced the alphabet with scenes of nature, idealized houses or schools, flora and fauna, and characters such as courting couples. At the turn of the nineteenth century silk embroideries became popular and involved silk thread on canvas (usually the earlier pieces), silk on silk, or the rarest, a combination of painting and silk on silk. These silk works often picture biblical scenes, fables, and mourning scenes.
Everyone interviewed for this article agreed that 99 percent of the value of a needlework rests in its graphic appeal. Condition and rarity are the next considerations. Unlike furniture, restoration is not forgiven in this field. Although condition plays a secondary role it is nevertheless very important when considering the value of a piece. Faking is not a widespread problem in silk embroideries but there are forgeries in marking samplers and to the untrained these are difficult to identify.
Fig. 3:
Sampler, Burlington County, NJ, by Hannah L. Hancock, 1840. Silk on linen, 17-3/4 x 20-1/2 inches. Photography courtesy of M. Finkel and Daughter. Recently sold for over $100,000.
Most of the known needlework was made by girls living along the east coast. No one school stands out as the best, but a number produced very developed and consistently dynamic work. These include the Boston area schools of Susanna Condy, Susanna Rowson, and Mrs. Saunders and Miss Beach's Academy; the Mary Balch School of Rhode Island; and, in Philadelphia, the (Samuel) Folwell School (silk embroideries and painting on silk) and the Elizabeth and Ann Marsh School (early samplers). Amy Finkel considers the Burlington County, New Jersey, area as exceptional for producing samplers that "are big and full and filled with Quaker motifs (Fig. 3)." Van Tassel included the Westtown School of Pennsylvania, founded in 1799 and still in existence. The specific layout of the lettering and use of Roman numerals makes the Westtown works exceptional. While some names on schoolgirl samplers are familiar, Ruthy Rogers, for example, no one schoolgirl is considered the best. In fact, according to Betty Ring, many of these schoolgirls only completed two or three works.
The record price to date is the $1,200,000 paid for the Hannah Otis over mantel canvas-work sampler sold in 1996 at Sotheby's.1 This piece, larger than normal in size and of freehand design, is outstanding as it depicts in elaborate detail the John Hancock House and Boston Common. Purchased by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, it is considered both a historical artifact and a work of art. Since then another over mantel canvas work (Fig. 4) sold at Bonhams and Butterfields in 2003. With an estimate of $20,000-$30,000 the Hubers purchased it for a client for $611,250. "Both are masterpieces," they say, explaining the difference in price between the Hannah Otis work and the canvas work purchased for their client, "and [both are] from the same unknown Boston school, but the one we purchased was not designed free hand, nor is it signed. The source for our piece was a print source, usually purchased by the teacher and transferred to the canvas. Highly developed, this example is one of eight known, with all others in museums." Ms. Ring describes the early canvas works as the most sought after as they were "Done by the very wealthiest of girls, usually including a multiple of colors which other schoolgirls simply couldn't afford."
Fig. 4:
Canvaswork chimney piece, possibly the school of Susanna Hiller Condy (1686-1747), Boston, circa 1740. Wool and silk on linen, 16-3/4 x 47-1/2 inches. Photography courtesy of Bonhams and Butterfield. Purchased in 2003 by Stephen and Carol Huber for $611,250. This is the second highest price paid for a piece of needlework.
Generally speaking, American schoolgirl needleworks command a higher price than English works. According to Finkel, this is because "American samplers offer greater folk art appeal and are less formulaic than English samplers." Another reason is supply; far fewer schools were established in America than in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, hence American needlework is scarcer. The Hubers note that new collectors, in keeping with historic tradition, are acquiring silk embroideries to complement their collections of fine art and American furniture, while samplers and pictorials appeal more to those collecting folk art. The price for fine American schoolgirl needlework can range in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but many quality pieces are available for between $10,000 and $50,000. Working with an expert in the field is a must.

Displaced Vendors
Ratanakkiri provincial officials yesterday deployed police to demolish stalls outside a newly renovated market, in a move that drew criticism from affected vendors and rights groups.
Em Vun, the police chief in Banlung town, said yesterday's eviction deadline had been announced last month, and that the operation had unfolded without violence. "We just take apart the stalls and umbrellas to inform them that we will not allow them to do business along the sidewalk anymore," he said.
The Heng Dara Company renovated the market and reopened it on May 7. Vendor representative Heng Vin said none of the vendors previously operating just outside the market had been offered new stalls. Sa Leang, a representative of the company, said the area would likely be paved.
Chhay Thy, a provincial investigator for the rights group Adhoc, said the affected vendors had been stationed outside the market for "many years", and that officials should not have dismantled the stalls without marking off a relocation site. "The authorities did dismantle the stalls in an orderly manner, but there is no solution for the vendors," he said.

Man City-Gladbach Champions League game postponed
The Champions League group game between Manchester City and Borussia Moenchengladbach on Tuesday was postponed due to heavy rain at City's Etihad Stadium.
"Tonight's UEFA Champions League fixture at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach has been postponed," City said in a statement on their website.
"Torrential rainfall across Manchester throughout the evening led to flooding in the areas around the ground, which forced the decision on safety and security grounds."
It had rained heavily in Manchester for several hours prior to the game's scheduled 1845 GMT kick-off and there was thunder and lightning overhead as fans made their way to the stadium.
UEFA's rules state that if a match in the competition is postponed, a decision on when it will take place must be taken within two hours of the postponement.
The match must either be played the following day or on a reserve date.
UEFA's Champions League Twitter account wrote: "Further information on the rearranged fixture will be provided in due course."
A group of UEFA officials carrying blue umbrellas performed a pitch inspection around 45 minutes prior to the scheduled kick-off time.
Manchester City's goalkeepers Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero had come out to warm up, but were ushered inside.
The rain eased off as kick-off time approached, but with conditions outside treacherous, the decision to call the game off was made shortly before 1830 GMT.
Several hundred visiting Gladbach fans, many of them shirtless, remained in their seating section singing after the postponement was announced.
Gladbach's players, wearing green and black club tracksuits, came out to salute them before returning to their changing room.
Manchester's Metrolink tram system had to be temporarily suspended due to the rain and photographs circulating on social media showed huge puddles in city centre streets.
The match is due to be City manager Pep Guardiola's first group-stage game with the club.
City and Gladbach met in last season's group phase, with the English club winning both games en route to the semi-finals.

Animals role-play events from humanity's history, highlighting its foibles and providing a few laughs.
Feinland (Homesick for Heaven, Part 3, 2014, etc.) tells a fable of Western civilization during four eras: from Jesus' birth to his betrayal and crucifixion; from the early days of Christianity to the Middle Ages; from the French Revolution to World War II; and from the disputed U.S. presidential election of 2000 to an imagined future uprising of the underclass and a time of blissful peace. He does it all in the form of a long, epic poem, using a menagerie of animals to stand in for humans. In the beginning, a chaste lion falls in love with a moon deity he calls "Diana." A virgin lioness named Marlene follows Diana and gives birth to a cub named Leo who, as prophesied in the poem, goes on to "splash 'round in our tub / And rule us with a hand of iron. / He will preach unto them / Who love Hashem [God] / With mighty power." Leo goes on to lead a band of apostles, including animals named Simple Simon, Andy, and Rocky. Three days after a band of wolves kills Leo, Diana's rays revive him. The story blazes on through the centuries as the cast of animals changes. Feinland revels in wordplay, from the simple to the obscure. Rocky the Lion, for example, stands in for Peter the first pope ("Peter" comes from the Latin "petrus," or "rock"), and a wolf named Dolf cries out to his followers, "Ve volves must look after our own / Or be left mitout efen ein bone!" Later, an Australian media-mogul kangaroo "hopped over to America / Publishing and filming garbage." As a result, despite its cast of animal characters, this retelling is more suited to adult readers. Feinland's poetry is rangy and varied, moving from blank verse to rhymed couplets to simple four-line rhymes and back again. Sometimes the lines seem smooth and natural, and at others, they're squeezed uncomfortably into their forms. The most appreciative readers will be those who know the underlying biblical and historical tales, as they'll chuckle at the reframing.
An idiosyncratic poetic lark with a clear religious message.

Hand crafted in my studio, this 102" x 68" wall relief is the full size version of my original concept. It's been quite a ride figuring out how to construct it and months of testing to be sure it was done well. I hope you enjoy the result.
My name is Terri M Wells. Welcome to my blog, "Open Studio" where you will see the art I'm working on, my processes, and the ideas behind them. Since 2005, I've been passionate about painting watercolors on location, "plein air". Some of the watercolors lead to abstract wall sculptures and studio paintings. Periodically I'll sell small, more affordable, work here. My larger work can be purchased through my website www.terrimwells.com

Studio Baum created a new identity and all accompanying marketing and exhibition material for Margate Rocks, a contemporary visual arts festival. This included the festival programme, posters and invitations, a website, way-finding signage, badges and exhibition graphics. The theme of the festival was 'Arts & Ecology', so we used the logo to create floral shapes that alluded to nature. All paper stocks were FSC accredited and printed using vegetable inks.

Academies of Medicine
- American Academy of Anesthesiology
- American Academy of Specialists in Dermatology
- American Academy of Disaster Medicine
- American Academy of Emergency Physicians
- American Academy of Specialists in Family Medicine
- American Academy of Specialists in Internal Medicine
- American Academy of Specialists in Orthopedic Surgery
- American Academy of Radiology
- American Academy of Specialists in Surgery
AAPS affiliated Academies of Medicine are established to:
- Promote the highest intellectual, moral and ethical standards of practice within the specialty
- Promote and provide continuing education for members
- Promote study, research and improvement of the specialty
- Recognize excellence via awards to Diplomate members (Physician of the Year and Degree of Fellow)
- Elect members to the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) affiliated Boards of Certification specialties
Enrollment in the Specialty Academy of Medicine
Academies are the fundamental units in which new physicians become a member of the entire organization and connect with AAPS members who share similar, if not identical, interests in a field of medicine. AAPS bylaws require that the "Association shall enroll each person accepted as a member of the Association as a member of the affiliated academy which represents, most closely, the member's area of practice and interests." New members may be assigned to more than one Academy based upon training and experience.
Diplomate Members
Diplomates are members of the Academy who have been certified by the ABPS Board of Certification in the same specialty. Upon achieving Diplomate status, members partake in privileges not available to other Academy members. Diplomate members may be elected to serve as an officer or governor of the affiliated academy, and therefore, eligible to vote for members of the ABPS Board of Certification in the same specialty. In addition, only Diplomates may be selected by the academy to receive the Physician of the Year award or the Degree of Fellow designation.
Council of Academy Presidents
The Council of Academy Presidents (CAP) is composed of each academy president and provides a forum to meet and explore issues involving the association. The role of the CAP include:
- Oversee and guide the direction of the professional academies recognized by, and affiliated with the association, to facilitate each Academy's promotion of the highest intellectual, moral and ethical standards in the practice of the medical specialty, or specialties represented by the respective academies.
- Establish criteria and submit recommendations to the AAPS Board of Directors with respect to the creation, recognition and affiliation of other professional academies.
- Establish, with AAPS Board of Directors approval, standards required for the Degree of Fellow designation.
- Advise and inform the AAPS Boards of Directors of initiatives and activities related to the educational and professional purpose of the academies.
Promotion of State-Based Activity
A state-based member initiative was launched in 2002 by the Council of Academy Presidents, with the believe that issues involving members could be resolved via communication within a state rather than through specialty-based groups. These state-based activities will complement, not replace or compete with, specialty-based academy activities. Therefore, the academy presidents currently contact members in their home state(s) to encourage communication. Thereby allowing AAPS members to share solutions to problems encountered by member physicians.

Don't bug me, man.
I believe Cyborg Cockroach was the opening act at the last Rock Bottom Remainders concert.
maybe we could send em to congress.
Just as long as they're not playing dodge ball - either the kids or the roaches.
Just wait. They'll probably stay open through Christmas, but then some kid is going to try to operate on their little brother.
I for one welcome our new cybernetic insect overlords and remind them that, as a reliable blog commenter, I could be useful for rounding up others to labour in the compost heaps and under the kitchen appliances.
Cockroachs have rights activists? No donations from the borax companies, I bet. But really, how sad does your life have to be to go around saying "but who'll think of the cockroaches"?
See a roach and step on it. Simple.
But this involves making a roach do things that are potentially very contrary to its survival instincts, such as come out into the open.
There is an element of torture to that, just as there would be in pushing a button to make a GOP Congressman help the poor.
Can everyone see NOW why we need term limits ?

Hi Peter, Can't help on the builder, check the deeds maybe? Most houses of that era do have cavity walls but would not have been insulated at the time but may have been since.

Resting radionuclide angiogram (RNA) is a type of nuclear medicine test. Doctors use a tiny amount of a radioactive substance, called a tracer, during the scan to help show the heart's chambers in motion. This test can tell the doctor how well the heart pumps and how much blood is pumped with each heartbeat. This is called the ejection fraction.
Your doctor injects a radioactive tracer (usually technetium) into an arm vein. The tracer "tags" blood cells so your doctor can track them with a scanner as they move through the heart. A special camera (called a gamma camera) then records the heart muscle at work, like a movie. Your doctor can match these recordings with the electrocardiogram (ECG). An ECG is a recording of the heart's electrical activity.
If the heart muscle doesn't move normally, or not enough blood is pumped out by the heart, it may be a sign of one or more of the following:
Reasons for your doctor to request a resting radionuclide angiogram (RNA) include:
If your doctor thinks you have some type of heart disease, a resting RNA may be done.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend this test.
Your doctor uses only a small amount of the radioactive tracer. So, there is no need for precautions against radiation exposure.
The injection of the radioactive tracer may cause some sight discomfort. Allergic reactions to the tracer are rare.
If you are pregnant or think you could be, tell your healthcare provider. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If you are breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.
Certain factors may interfere with or affect the results of this test. These include:
A resting radionuclide angiogram (RNA) may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Steps may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, a resting RNA follows this process:
Be sure to move slowly when getting up from the scanner table to avoid any dizziness or lightheadedness from lying flat for the length of the test.
Drink plenty of fluids and empty your bladder often for 24 to 48 hours after the test to help flush the remaining radioactive tracer from your body.
A nurse will check the IV site for any signs of redness or swelling. If you notice any pain, redness, or swelling at the IV site after you go home, tell your doctor as this may be a sign of infection or other type of reaction.
Your doctor may give you other instructions after the test, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

CUP: Hendrick 4 For 4, But No Title
It speaks volumes about the long-term success of a racing organization when a 10-win season is considered somewhat of a disappointment.
That's exactly the situation for Hendrick Motorsports, which ended its 2012 season with 10 victories and four drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The sport's most prominent team didn't bring home the big trophy, however, despite putting Jimmie Johnson in prime position to grab it. For an organization that has become used to hanging championship banners in its shops, it was, in the final analysis, a year that fell short of expectations.
Some of the evidence shows up in a statistical column that normally is generally foreign to Hendrick cars – Did Not Finish.
Johnson failed to finish six races, a staggering number for one of the sport's most efficient teams. The biggest hit there came in the season's final race as Johnson, still with a decent shot at passing Brad Keselowski for the championship, had unusual problems on pit road and eventually parked with a gear failure.
Jeff Gordon had one of the wildest up-and-down years in recent memory, winning twice (including the season finale) and scoring 18 top 10s but failing to finish five races and making the Chase only with a frantic run.
Kasey Kahne won twice but didn't finish four races in his first season at Hendrick.
And then there was the year of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finally ended his winless string and made the Chase but then sat out a pair of races while recovering from a concussion and finished 12th in points. Oddly, Earnhardt Jr. was the only Hendrick driver who did not have a DNF.
Still and all, it's difficult to be too down about a year with four cars in the Chase – and two in the top four.
"I feel awful blessed to be able to have won as many as I've won, and, after a while, you just do the best you can and prepare the best you can," team owner Rick Hendrick said. "And if somebody just beats you, then you know you've got to go to work. If things happen outside of your control, then that's just the breaks of the game.
"We've run good every week. We had all four cars in the Chase. Everybody won a race. … We had a shot to finish one, three and five two weeks ago, and I don't really think we're erratic. I think the competition is pretty stiff.
"I don't think anybody can just be perfect for the whole year. I'd say if I can go every year and get them all in the Chase and win 10, 11 races and 10, 11 poles – I want to win a lot of championships, but if you run like that, you'll win your share."
And that will be Goal One for Hendrick Motorsports in 2013 – a return to the top.

Sony Electronics has launched a new electronic device aimed to increase productivity and improve collaboration for lawyers. Called Digital Paper, the new tablet device has a 13.3" screen that is able to display full-screen documents in PDF format, allowing legal professionals to read, annotate and share a wide range of documents.
Sony claims that you don't need to scroll or utilise zoom when reading a document page. Pages can be turned by touching then screen or by using a stylus (included with the device), and users are also able to write, erase and highlight content using the stylus.
Digital documents are received and transmitted via either a network interface of Wi-Fi, and Digital Paper supports PDF documents; documents in MS Word format, as well as Excel PowerPoint files, can be received and converted into PDF format on the device. Worldox Software Corp. are already integrating Digital Paper with their document management software and they believe that Sony's new device may well replace lawyers' notepads and binders, and the saving of documents directly into client-matter folders within the Worldox DMS. Ray Zwiefelhofer, President of Worldox Software, added: "Digital Paper is thin and lightweight, super comfortable for taking handwritten notes and viewing documents."
Digital Paper incorporates a high-contrast display, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery via adapter or USB, 4GB internal memory with a micro SD memory card slot for additional memory, and will be available from May.

Camaro Still winning - Mustang sales not enough to sustain Flat Rock plant
DETROIT (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co.'s Mustang is falling farther behind the Chevrolet Camaro as the top-selling U.S. sports car, jeopardizing a Michigan factory as designers work to win back the hearts of pony car fans.
Ford narrowly lost the crown in 2010 after a 24-year run, and the gap widened this year, with General Motors Co.'s revived Camaro outselling Mustang by 33 percent through May.
The 1,700- person plant in Flat Rock, Mich., has just one shift of workers, and its Japanese partner decided last week to pull out.
"The Mustang on its current sales pace isn't enough to sustain Flat Rock," said Jeff Schuster, an automotive analyst with researcher J.D. Power & Associates. "The Camaro has a more modern feel and seems to draw more attention from a younger age group."
The second-largest U.S. automaker is working to increase production of V-6 engines while its designers prepare for a new version in 2014 to restore its cachet. GM started selling a convertible version of the Camaro this year and says the Mustang is one of the top trade-ins for the Chevy sports car.
"They have a huge, loyal base with the Mustang," John Fitzpatrick, the Camaro's marketing manager, said in an interview. "We are starting to chip away at that."
Adding to Mustang's misery, Mazda Motor Corp. said last week that it plans to pull its Mazda6 model out of the Michigan assembly plant where Ford also makes the sports car. Ford, which owns half of the factory, said it is working with Mazda and the UAW to explore options for the "critical" site.
Manufacturing 'options'
Not sharing the assembly line with Mazda will allow Ford to build more Mustang variations, said Steve Ling, the car's marketing manager.
"The flexibility that that provides is a good thing," Ling said in a June 14 interview, declining to give specifics on how Mustang production might change after Mazda leaves. "It's good to have options and that's what that scenario provides."
Even if Mustang manages to overtake Camaro, Ford will never sell enough of its muscle car to fill up Flat Rock, Schuster said. The factory has the capacity to build 240,000 vehicles a year, Mazda has said. Last year, Ford sold 73,716 Mustangs.
"Even with a boost from a redesign, because of what Camaro has achieved, you're still looking at sales volume for the Mustang below 100,000 a year," Schuster said. "The bottom line is something at Flat Rock will have to change."
Ford is to introduce a redesigned Mustang in 2014, said Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays Capital in Chicago.
Popular V-6
This year, Mustang sales have suffered because of a short supply of a new V-6 engine that gets 31 miles per gallon on the highway while generating 305 horsepower, Ling said. The Mustang shares that engine with the F-150 pickup, the centerpiece of Ford's top-selling truck line.
As rising fuel prices have driven up demand for the V-6 engine, Ling said Ford has chosen to apportion more supply to the F-150, among its most profitable models. The V-6 Mustang starts at a list price of $22,310, according to Ford.com.
"The V-6 powertrain that's shared with all of our hot products is really very popular right now," Jim Farley, Ford's global marketing chief, said in a June 9 interview. "We have a lower days' supply on Mustang, but we think that's the right way to run that business."
The V-6 engine shortage has left Ford with less than 30 days' supply of Mustangs, half the inventory it had a year ago, Ling said. Ford is now looking for ways to boost production of the V-6, which accounts for 51 percent of Mustang sales, up from 40 percent a year ago, Ling said.
"We're making sure that the truck has enough engines and obviously there is an impact to Mustang," Ling said. "The dealers feel we could sell more" if Ford had more V-6 engines.
Camaro rolling
GM is stepping up the pressure by updating the Camaro next month with a more powerful V-6 engine that gets 30 mpg on the highway, Fitzpatrick said. It also is updating the car's interior with new features like a smaller steering wheel, he said.
Rising gasoline prices and a stalling U.S. economy can't seem to slow down the Camaro, which went on sale in April 2009 after a seven-year hiatus. Camaro sales are up 4 percent this year, while Mustang is down 3 percent, according to researcher Autodata Corp.
"The Camaro is highly unusual in a segment that tends to be very fickle," said Jeremy Anwyl, chief executive officer of auto researcher Edmunds.com. "Normally a sports car that's really hot fades fast."
Maintaining interest
To keep interest stoked, GM will advertise around the movie sequel "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," debuting June 29 and again featuring a yellow-and-black Camaro as a crime-fighting robot, Ling said. The Camaro known as "Bumblebee" has been the ride of actor Shia LaBeouf in all three Transformer movies.
"The linkage to Transformers has really helped create and build the brand Camaro," Schuster said, "especially with young people."
Early next year, GM plans to roll out a ZL1 Camaro with a 550-horsepower engine, matching Ford's Shelby GT500 version of the Mustang that starts at $48,810, according to Edmunds.
"It looks like they clearly targeted the GT500," Ling said. Much is riding on Ford's 2014 redesign of the Mustang, which Ling declined to describe. By then, Camaro will be five years old and more than a year away from its own restyling in late 2015, Schuster said.
"As the Camaro starts to age and the Mustang is redesigned, that will heat up the battle," Schuster said. "We see the Mustang regaining its No. 1 position when it's redesigned, but it will be close."
Hm, this is bittersweet.
I hope there aren't too many more jobs put in jeopardy in the auto industry. However, I think Ford need to take a hard look at their ancient rear axle setup. As a former owner of a 2005, and 2008 Mustang GT, I can say with some authority, that even my V6 Camaro is a much much more refined car, and is as quick point to point, because I have more faith in the car staying on the road at high speed.
"The Camaro has a more modern feel and seems to draw more attention from a younger age group"
Interesting comment... Most of the people I know with Camaros - myself included - wouldn't consider themselves "younger". Who exactly is buying Mustangs? Octegenarians???
Maybe the workers in Flat Rock should move to Oshawa...
Worrysome... but sounds familiar
Thanks for keeping an eagle eye to spot this and share it in the forum.
It makes me sad as, nowadays, every and any failing business operation, regardless of where it fails, delays worldwide economic recovery.
We are all in this together, and we are not out of the woods yet.
I do not know how many assembly plants are there for the Ford Mustang so it is difficult to fathom the total impact of this in the continued viability of that model.
However, I fully expected that one the "new era" muscle cars will face hardship, perhaps even demise.
It happened to the previous F-Body which folded in the 2002 model year.
We are lucky this resurrection of the CAMARO struck a deep fiber with auto enthusiast a has gotten such a strong return.
I will not write an obituary yet, but like they used to say in the tv series HIGHLANDER "In the end, there can be only one!".
The Flash
Ford will be fine. The sales of the current generation Mustang may be slumping because of its body design, but it has several very well designed engines and a lineup of cars that in my opinion is the best looking lineup of any of the detroit 3. Ford can pull off a successful redesign. You can see it in their lineup. They just need to get it right for the next Mustang.
The Camaro is hot right now, but if GM doesn't offer as many options as Ford does in regards to accessories, options such as gears, navigation and even models (v6, gt, boss, gt500), the Camaro's sales will eventually slump. We are just lucky that most people consider the Camaro a better looking car today. Ford has been refining the Mustang since its inception. The Camaro is now a totally new design, it kicks butt, but don't be fooled. Ford isn't happy with being number #2, especially when the Mustang was the ONLY pony car to enjoy uninterrupted production.
When I went car hunting..I went to check out the mustang. I checked several dealerships. One had a beat up demo and a base v6. Thats it. They were selling so fast that they had no inventory to sell me..lol. They cant be doing that bad.

BTW, that article says that Flat Rock (mustangs only plant that I'm aware of) is down to a single shift. So they can't get any lower without going part time and they still have one of the longest selling days of inventory. That means ford can't even sell the few that a single shift can build right now.
As much as I'd love to say "Suck it Mustang" -- I honestly can't.. Putting the smack down on a rival car is one thing, but I'm not going to cheer on the possibility of American workers being put in to unemployment just to brag on my own platform's success...
I'd rather they stay open and share the spot light with Mustang, than have even a single worker laid off..
i really hope people start buying the mustang. come on its faster ! lol
I have friends that work at the Mustang plant too and I agree. ^
I agree HumanWiki
yay for beating the mustang, not so much for the ppl whos jobs are in jeapardy... i want the camaro to be beating the mustang in sales, not thrashing it so badly that they stop making it. we need competition!!
Maybe GM could help Ford out by building Camaro's side by side with the Mustangs to keep the plant open.:)

I apologize for being so MIA the past few months. We've been busy selling our wintering home in AZ and buying a new one in the same 55+ community. Then I was kept busy finding a new live in caregiver for my aging parents so they can continue living in their home. Now I feel caught up in my personal life and ready get back to my addiction; STAMPING of course!
My last post was a shower card for our Godson, Ryan and his wife Monica. Guess what? Ryan and Monica have been blessed with a healthy little girl named Rebecca Grace last week. She is very petite and delicate and absolutely beautiful! Another prayer answered! So of course I had to go shopping to buy her some girly clothes and needed a new baby card. This is what I came up with. My card was inspired by Cindy Elam, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Please check out her blog at: http://heartsdelightcards.blogspot.com/2014/03/sweet-baby-girl.html Just copy and paste her blog site into you browser if this link doesn't take you to Cindy's blog.
One thing to note is that the banner stamp set I used is retired (oops) but you could easily substitute the banner punches in Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush card stock! (Both these card stock colors are retiring in June so hurry and place your order for them with me!) Also, I used the gathered Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush ribbon but I think if you substitute the lace I'm listing in my supply list and dye it with your stamp pads in those colors, you'll have a beautiful alternative. I'm sad to report the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing folder is on the soon to be retired list but of course you could substitute any of the newer Embossing folders. Personally, I think the next time I make this card, I'll use the Decorative Dot Embossing Folder. It might just be even better! What could be better than a new baby born in spring? Lots of signs of spring here in the Northwoods of WI. Happy stamping! I promise I'll resume my frequent blog posts again.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Trade Darragh O'Brien has today pledged support for European Movement Ireland's voter registration initiative.
The #PhoneAFriend campaign encourages Irish people living in the UK, and British people living in Ireland, to register to vote in the forthcoming UK EU referendum.
Deputy O'Brien was responding to figures released by European Movement Ireland, which show that there are 9,723 British citizens living in the constituency of Dublin – Fingal.
"With fewer than 37 days to go to the UK's referendum on EU membership, I am calling on all those who are eligible, to register to vote by 7th June and have their say on June 23rd", explained Deputy O'Brien.
"While this is ultimately a decision for Britain to make, several reports have highlighted the very serious implications for Ireland across a wide range of sectors including financial, trade, travel, tourism and agri-food. Therefore, I aim to make all eligible voters aware of their right to vote in this important referendum.
"It's my hope, and that of my party, that Britain votes to remain as a member of the European Union."

Wind of Change
Clave of Whispers
The Clave of Whispers is known for being a small but elite preparatory school coaching youth in the ways of numenera, and less commonly known as a prison for those sentenced to be executed. It exists in the Cloudcrystal Skyfields in the Beyond, yet has many doorways to civilized lands. Most graduates go on to become Aeon Priests, as the majority of instructors are part of the Amber Papacy despite no direct affiliation, yet others go on to study at the University of Doors or otherwise become powerful nanos.
The institution is atop one of the larger city-sized floating crystal formations of the Cloudcrystal Skyfields. It reachable through well-guarded fixed-location teleportation devices, as well as the rare flying vessels. Its true location is a guarded secret, for the facility is entirely self-enclosed and made of living stone. The only non-teleportation exits are guarded by a combination of powerful automatons and well-trained glaives. The fact that it has an irregular orbit around the skyfield makes it that much harder to find unless its masters want to be found.
Students always arrive via one of the teleportation devices, and they are limited to exist within the facility to the point they do not even realize they have crystal beneath the stone at their feet. Getting to the facility is relatively easy with paid tuition, but leaving takes a sinister side. Only the death of a fully sentient creature of sound mind allows the use of teleportation chambers back to civilization, which is where the prisoner element comes into play.
The training has a very low completion rate due to being exceptionally demanding to students. To be fair, most who are sent to study there are from wealthy families who pamper their children. Most parents can only afford to send their child to the school for one year, after which the students have a choice to earn their keep through taking part in often dangerous trials or to be sent home.
The convicts sentenced to death at the clave live comfortable lives before their executions. It is on a lottery system, where inmates are chosen randomly to serve their sentence and let a student return home. There are inmates who have served over a dozen years yet have never been chosen, which make some question just how random the selection process is.
