              Is Pouhon the name of the track or the name of the town where they race ?

                It's the name for that corner of the race track.

                  I just saw a verse by Dylan Thomas that I feel may be my 'swan song'; "I'm raging against the dying of my career, which has to be around the corner now (6 months), but at least for the God given time that I have left, I'll be raging. I've never minded getting older, but I never wanted to be old, ever."
                  It is the "Peter Pan" principal, I feel.

                    About 2 months ago I was called Poppy for the first time by some cheeky@ss hoodlums at a stop light.
                    I thought I would never hear that day, but it's now a reality...... ( I actually drove away laughing at myself.)

                      A 3D printer that can print in ten different materials? The answer is apparently "yes" according to this, which I found on Slashdot today:
                      MIT builds a 3D printer that can use 10 materials at once | Computerworld

                        It was interesting to read the last part of the above web page....

                        "Picture someone who sells electric wine openers, but doesn't have $7,000 to buy a printer like this. In the future, they could walk into a FedEx with a design and print out batches of their finished product at a reasonable price," Ramos says. "For me, a practical use like that would be the ultimate dream."

                        It appears that Ramos is uncertain about the photocopier industry and print shops. Apparently FedEx is the place for all 3D printing in the future. My understanding of FedEx is that it's just a snail mailing service like Australia Post here in OZ.....

                        All Techo's and print-shops are history, we are all doooomed......

                              Not sure how 3D printing is going to put print shops out of business. Besides, who has several hours, or days, to wait for something to be printed when you can just get it at the store?
