Most government leaders are restlessly on the search for new ideas, for innovation, for whatever is next. It may be their good luck that this is shaping up to be a Golden Age for engaging citizens, customers and employees. For evidence of this, one need look no further than the rapidly expanding use of "crowdsourcing." This social-media tool is going mainstream in many communities as a source of innovative ideas.
The growing interest in engaging the crowd to identify or develop innovative solutions to public problems was inspired by wildly successful efforts in the commercial world to design innovative consumer products or solve complex scientific problems, ranging from custom-designed T-shirts to mapping genetic DNA strands.

As state and local governments focus on how to fix their pension problems, a recent report demonstrates the dramatic measures large American cities will have to take to address another issue: woefully underfunded retiree health-care liabilities. The overarching lesson of the study from ElderBranch, an online information portal that helps people find and evaluate long-term-care providers, is to address the retiree health-care issue before it gets out of hand.
For many cities, it's already too late. In fiscal 2012, only five of the nation's 25 largest cities had set aside 95 percent of their annual required contribution (ARC) -- the amount that would put them on track to pay for the health-care costs of all current and future retirees over 30 years. More than half the cities contributed less than half of ARC. READ MORE
Few services provided by governments -- local governments in particular -- are more important than regulations that protect the public's health and safety. But the modern reality is that creating jobs and opportunities for entrepreneurship are just as important.
Thanks to technology, those two goals no longer have to conflict. Working with American cities and with funding from the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation is building an online inventory of best practices called "Regulatory Reform for the 21st Century." The project aims to help local governments streamline their regulatory processes while at the same time supporting local and regional economic development. READ MORE
In the aftermath of a recession that saw deep and devastating cuts in municipal budgets, it is a struggle for many cities to simply keep up with demands for basic services. This context has proved pivotal in the struggling effort by Oakland, Calif., to develop a public safety "department dashboard." The successes and setbacks of the project could help inform similar efforts to innovate in difficult times.
In Oakland, as in most cities, key information surrounding public safety has been scattered across multiple web pages. It takes time for a resident to discover how to report a crime or determine which agency is responsible for illegal dumping. Furthermore, Oaklanders have had to contend with different sets of crime statistics containing significant disparities, undermining residents' ability to get a complete picture of the crime dynamics in their neighborhoods and in the community at large. READ MORE
Local governments put a lot of effort into trying to deliver the services that their citizens pay for on time, without waste and at a level of quality those citizens expect. But all too often government managers stop there: After working to optimize individual processes, they decide that their job is done and push on ahead without stepping back and rethinking things from the ground up.
For instance, in most cities, utility companies and departments of public works and transportation constantly cut and re-cut the streets to maintain their infrastructure. But while these agencies work to bring efficiency to their individual operations, it's forgotten that each street excavation, even after being patched, shortens the time before a complete repaving is needed. And each time the street is torn up, citizens are inconvenienced by rerouted traffic and delays. READ MORE

On Sun, March 27, 2011 - 7:08:45
I really appreciate this. Something that has really spoken to me about you guys, besides your music, is the fact that you appreciate playing for smaller crowds. I'm sure that the huge shows are amazing too but when I went to your show, there weren't a huge number of people and it was a perfect experience. Of course, your music is still the same but it feels more magical that way. I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Feedbackula - EA Charity Calamity
EA joined forces with Humble Bundle to raise money for charity, and somehow managed to anger people in the process. Time for Johnny to take a closer look.

Note that no backup managers are currently supported on the 4.41 CFW, Backup manager such as IrisManager and multiMAN will have to be updated to support the CFW..
Team REBUG issued an update for the 4.41 LITE Edition CFW. .This update fixed an issue for users that did not have their system Q/A Flagged. Also is a download for the 4.30.2 D-REX for installation on DEX consoles. .
FIXED - Bug stopping pkg files installing on non-QA'd PS3
Normally we would not release an entire cfw just for a minor bug but the nature of this one left some people in a state where they could not install a pkg file because they were not QA'd, while at the same time they could not QA because they could not install the pkg file..
This has been completely addressed and there is no more issues. It is recommended for everyone that has already installed 4.41.1 to install this new PUP just in case you deactivate your QA and leave yourself in the chicken/egg state explained above. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.. Enjoy..
FIRST RELEASE All 4.30.2 REX EDITION Features
(Firmware is identical)
FEATURE - Installs on DEX PS3 System
FEATURE OtherOS++ support enabled
(Use Rebug Toolbox to Boot OtherOS with different LV1 patches)
FEATURE Package Manager
(Replacement for the standard Install Package Files option)
INCLUDED Rebug Toolbox 02.xx.xx
(Install included Rebug Toolbox or higher for full compatibility)
PATCHED LV1: Disable System Integrity Check
(Safe to use with mismatched COREOS/SYSCON versions or if PS3 is not QA enabled)
PATCHED LV1: Undocumented function 114
(Allow mapping of protected memory)
PATCHED LV1: Skip all ACL Checks
(Needed to allow booting of OtherOS)
PATCHED LV1: Peek and Poke support
(Unused LV1 call 182 and 183)
PATCHED - LV2: Peek and Poke support
(LV2 Syscall 6 and 7)
PATCHED - LV2: Peek and Poke support for LV1
(LV2 Syscall 8 and 9)
PATCHED - LV2: LV1 CALL System call
(LV2 Syscall 10)
PATCHED - VSH: Allow Unsigned act.dat and *.rif files
PATCHED - VSH: Disable Unlinking/Deleting of act.dat
A: Basically D-REX EDITION is REX EDITION that can be installed on a REAL DEX or coverted DEX PS3 System.
A: LITE EDITION is straight up CEX/RETAIL PS3 firmware it has NO DEX/DEBUG features.. AT ALL.
A: Because at the moment 4.4x DEX firmware is not in the wild and we 100% refuse to make a version hybrid (using 4.30 DEX files in 4.41). There is approx. 70 files that need to replaced in CEX firmware for it to become a complete DEX firmware. About 40 of those files at least have been updated in the CEX firmware since 4.30 (if you look at 4.40 PS3PATCH.PUP) and more again with 4.40 and 4.41. With so many file changes it makes a nice recipe for instability..
NOTE: Remember to update to the latest Rebug Toolbox included in the LITE EDITION firmware.

For himself by make -- math and science fun for kids now even twenty years later.
Bill Nye the Science Guy has no plans of slowing down why woody that's right here to celebrate his twentieth anniversary -- -- show us a few things about -- in other planets is.
Bill Nye the science and space guy good morning bill well sets there's this interaction good luck -- -- All right so you're talking about science today we obviously have a prop.
Tests -- -- so oh so this is the kickoff.
The Toshiba -- for -- vision.
National -- -- association and the planetary society's big effort to get.
Young people involved in -- -- vision competition and I now have a day job cuts which I can tell you cuts into your time I think I.
I -- this scenario of of the Planetary Society this organization started by a guy you may remember Carl Sagan chair so now we've Nixon's uncle bill's here now we -- -- -- section.
Excellent and so one of the questions is how to these people find planets.
Orbiting distant distant stars but when you can't see the planet.
So you build one of these we'll give you instructions in the magazine.
And what you detect it's not the planet itself.
But that slight wobble.
What's that star.
Well when you see it start wobbling with your extraordinary telescope -- the only reason it could be wobbling is because the center of mass of the planet's -- system.
-- making the thing shake.
Like a hula dance suite is an -- -- -- shaking because of the elastic band had great well you're seeing it actually.
That's a practical reason but it actually it -- -- wobbles a bit in in nature video but -- they did it yes so our son.
Wobbles a little bit on account of the gravity of the planets in orbit around.
Interest and so we're -- distant suns have the same feature so when I was young.
Lot of speculation are there planets around every star interest.
Who knows all of them there might be and you remember the Drake equation -- -- religion so there's only maybe discipline around every won't mean.
100000 -- now there's planets around every start there are almost every star apparently.
And we detectable by looking so there's a whole bunch of motions.
There's mutation.
And theirs.
What would that be.
-- -- -- Beckham forcing us to watch it's useless so what she sees what's the real thing you can look for where the telescope.
Right narrowed -- current level of technology is that white ball slightly moving back and.
For marriage to now I know you're you're told you've been instrumental in getting kids in keeping kids interest it.
In in science and I and I have little kids at home and they're so no interest in coming home in talking about the stars and the moon what they learned in school but.
Spending a lot of those kids -- this when those designs technology all these other countries and I -- NN.
Well if you're asking me and I got the impression you were -- and a we hit somebody needs to invest in this and the other big thing we need does this sound strange a big thing we need to invest in this algebra.
And algebra or apparently is this turning point.
If you don't embrace algebra and then you have trouble apparently or -- reluctant to.
Think abstract -- -- a whole bunch of things.
So -- -- -- 31 years old with the help of Toshiba and the national science teachers association.

Submit your question or not some -- vote for your question we will answer on video and today I will be in Times Square.
With the cooking videos the first two aspects are nothing but fun it's great to see everybody -- I my sense is it's time to wrap it is we -- got us dare I say it's much we manage spin it maybe the world.

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 11 2013: On the surface, the question , ' Do right/wrong exist ? or ' How does one measure the rightness/wrongness ? 'sounds too complex to pose, let alone answer.
But maybe the answer is simple : the rightness is to be measured, always, by the degree to which it serves the good of the whole, not the ambition of the part. This is because the uni-verse, across all fractals of reality is ONE.-
Feb 11 2013: I am back with a bit more than feeling :)
"Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma
see no Dharma in everyday actions.
They have not yet discovered that
there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma."
In QM , each process of the Whole is the Whole.
It may mean that inside your life/Whole you balance right / wrong as well.
" As above so below "
We are condemned to live on the consequences of our taste. If one has no sense of beauty he/she is doomed to the appalling nightmare.
Beauty/ Truth/ Love is one thing, they always come together.
'Whenever Beauty looks,
Love is also there;
Rumi :
Your embrace some form
saying, "I am this."
By God, you are not this
or that or the other
you are "Unique One"
(the emphasis is mine) :)-
Feb 12 2013: Ah, you're back with feeling and other people's thought. :)
But I don't see anything in there to suggest that there can be something that is not for the good of the whole (of existence, the one reality you mentioned). Tell me how can anything detract from reality? How can anything be bad for reality? How can anything make it less than one? Is it not here to play, to be, to experience? Is there any possible way to prevent it or hinder it or diminish it at all? Can you kill reality? Can you hurt it in the slightest?
Isn't everything always its own doing and in its own service, no matter what?
Feb 12 2013: Beautifully said, Mark ! As always :)
And yes...
Actually, i didn't come back with the argument against, but with the extension of ' Yes '
"As above so below " is the key.
I have more than 'feeling' now, it's not understanding, but ' standing under ' , it means that it is difficult to say.
That's why i've used quotes, quotes ...not other people's thoughts. It's my thoughts, but they're dressed better.:) .
I'll be back, if/when i manage to condense my 'standing under' into understanding . -
Feb 13 2013: Hi, again !
Btw. ' feeling' is very important. For me it's a primary data. It's intuition that does not dare to speak itself. Because for rational mind it would be nonsense, but for subtle mind 'non sense' is good, because sense is sooooo limited
" As above so below "
Above is all that is and not quite IS, perfect beauty of undisturbed stillness, everything is reconciled in all possible directions... and so is Below, our reality where wrong and right is balanced within itself by constant motion for it is mirroring Above and you have no chance to hurt reality whatever you are doing, it'll find the way to reconcile your ' wrong' with someone's 'right', which is only possible because of your 'wrong'. On the scale of Reality right/wrong makes no sense at all.
So, we get the picture.
And here is my extension :
Above is the Same, Below is always changing to stay the same. In our human domain it is a hustle and bustle, confusion , drama ... i make my choices for myself, you make your choices for yourself , they ( we don't like them :) ) also make their choices for themselves.. human history, in short.
And now imagine , we all fallow the golden rule: " Dethrone yourself from the center of your world, put another there ... ", what our human history will look like ?
There will be no history at all ! Below will be Above like: undisturbed joy of being !
It's like the phase transition in physics , it changes the substance of the stuff so dramatically that it becomes another stuff. Water becomes ice or steam. ( again...as above so below ) Some call it ' paradigm shift ', religions intuit it and call Paradise on Earth. What we need is to practice ' don't do to others..." , there are no others, anywhere, whatever you are doing to others ( be it people or nature ) you are doing to yourself, because the uni-verse, across all fractals of reality is ONE.
Does it make sense ? :)-
Feb 14 2013: Hi, yeah I understand what you're saying, but here's how I see it.
Wrt. 'feeling', you can make a distinction between intuition and emotional reactivity. What I meant by 'feeling' claiming to lend credence to thought, is when you are having a lot of thoughts about something propped up by emotional charge, then that tends to make those thoughts 'feel' very convincing and seemingly true or real at that moment. But that's not intuition, intuition makes no noise and no arguments, it doesn't have any emotional charge to it and doesn't try to convince you.
Wrt. "Dethrone yourself from the center of your world, put another there"... Like you said, there are no others. And there is no you. The "you" that is "Unique One" and "throne and place and king" etc. is not you as a person, but is reality as you (and as everyone else). As this. Can't dethrone reality from itself. The golden rule is nice from an individual perspective, but from the perspective of reality as a whole, there are no individuals, and everything is always already in its own (your own) service. "We" are not one, because there is no "we", only this.
If there is heaven (and hell) on earth, this is already it. This has always been it, and will always be it, whatever paradigm makes no difference. Heaven and hell, just like right and wrong, are a state of mind. Nothing "below" exists objectively, "below" is "above" as this. If someone does something "bad" to you, it's also reality acting in its own service. It doesn't become hell when someone does something "bad" to you, or heaven when we all sing Kumbaya around a campfire. Only if that's what you make out of it (and whatever you make out of it is of course also just reality acting in its own service).
But all this is just talk.
Feb 14 2013: Your 'intuition VS feeling' point is very convincing.
I feel exactly how you've described, when i have a ' feeling'
Thanks ! :)
And Yes... to everything you've said, very well put.
What i am trying to say is maybe it's time for us to EVOLVE , and it's " also just reality acting in its own service" ?-
Feb 14 2013: Who is to say. I know there are many such popular ideas going around, collectively refered to as new age spirituality. I'm just not so sure about the reality of it. I know a lot of people feel like we're all in the middle of something big, and I've felt that way too. But then again, that's probably how it always tends to seem. I'd be very hesitant to take all those projections we like to entertain at face value.
We're always in the middle of something big, because we're always in the middle of everything that we know of. And everything that we know of is always in transition from how it was to how it will be. It's never not been. Of course there are all sorts of arguments about why this time might be different. And there are also all sorts of arguments about why this time is exactly the same as ever. But no amount of theorizing is going to amount to anything more than speculation. It's just keeping yourself occupied with mind games.
So, who knows. And who cares, really. I'm interested in less mind games, not more. As far as I'm concerned, we'll just have to see what happens. Or not :P. Que sera sera.
Feb 15 2013: ".. there are many such popular ideas going around, collectively refered to as new age spirituality "
.I can't say No, it's different , because i don't know exactly what new age spirituality is. But i think that New Age philosophy hopelessly flattens the thing.
" We are always in the middle of something big "
Yes, but this ' big' is always slightly different, it is never the same in size and intensity.
It's growing, speeding up and pace is relentless.
Maybe we have a kind of a ' similar' picture in mind, but i try to make the bridge between the 'picture' and life. I am not quite satisfied with a picture that doesn't come even tangentially with the life you and me are experiencing.
Feb 23 2013: Scot, one can believe that selfishness is in error without bringing God into it. An infant is selfish by nature. It's all he's ready for. As he grows he will learn to share with others and care about them. but his natural tendency will be to remain selfish. Only when he has grown enough as a human being can he understand that to counter this tendency, he must make an effort to be selfless. By choosing to try to be selfless whenever he feels able to, he is living his ideals. That is, he is trying to do "what's right" for the good of his society. He need not believe in a deity for this. I believe in God. But I know believers who do not do right as often as some others I know who are not believers.

Does anyone have an opinion on ElectricRider? Spoken to them several times and they seem quite frank in their assessment of both their products and others. They recently started selling the PhoenixII motor and controller. And they're still in business after 3 years.
joepah wrote:"I purchased a brushed sparrow motor from them several years ago and they are very honest, but a bit overpriced last I looked. You can get a crystalyte watt hog for sure, but how fast do you want to go?"
Their prices do seem high, but it's a kit and they make you pay. Also checked with SanDiegoElectricBike and it's pretty much the same.
Really all i would like is a bike that can peak in the low 30s, and maybe get 15 miles on a charge. motor in the rear wheel, battery in the triangle.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
3540 Cruiser comparable motor recommended due to good Torque and Speed ; 30mph
Also recommend High Rate BMS on the ping battery, $50 extra)
- CONTROLLER (30-59v), Throttle, Thumb Throttle (Twist is not recommended)
- Wheel Build; 26in, 700c tire, Double Wall Aluminum Rim (Silver or Black) & Stainless Steel Spokr (Silver or Bkack)
- $745 PING LiFeP04 Battery 48v 15ah, and charger; Best Quality

- $15 ON/OFF Battery Switch; Super Heavy Duty Triple Sealed 50A
dogman wrote:You would not want to run a48v 15 ah ping on a 40 amp controller, and especially not with a big watt hungry motor like the 5300 series clytes. So electric rider was right on with that advice. I run my pings on lame 22 amp controllers running smaller motors for boring commutes to work at 20-25 mph. Perfect for that application, an efficient as possible ride to work.
For racing or dirt riding I use much more powerfull controllers. On those bikes I use 30c lipo instead of 2c ping. They may be running anthing from 1500 watts to 4000. No way 2c lifepo4 is the battery for that kind of use. I don't worry about battery lifespan on those bikes, this is paid by the fun budget, not the cheap ride to work budget.
dogman wrote:I think it's safe enough to say that the best cycle life from any cell of any chemisty is obtained by conservative c rates and conservative depth of discharge.
A LOT depends on how those bikes are ridden. Bet the Doc's family rides less agressive than the Doc does. You can easily ride all day at 30 amps, 2c, or even less. Only pulling all 40 up a hill of about 15%.
I'm recomending ping to commuters, who want economy and long service life. You may notice I recomend A123's or lipo to hot rodders.

Advance ruling may be defined as `a decision regarding the consequences of a proposed transaction, given by the competent authority and binding upon that authority'. The subject, applied to the field of taxation, is regarded by authors from the perspectives of France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and the USA.
Despite the differences existing in the USA, France, The Netherlan ds, Germany and Sweden with regard to advance ruling in tax matters, a few general characteristics can be given. In all the countries in question the taxpayer does not, in all cases, have a right to an Advance Ruling, but in case he does obtain one, it is binding upon the tax authorities. The taxpayer in all the countries concerned can renounce the right to rely on an Advance Ruling.

"For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863."
So starts a powerful passage by William Faulkner in "Intruder in the Dust." The Mississippi novelist and poet poignantly painted the scene of dry-mouthed young men anticipating battle.
But the Confederate attack, known in the annals of history as Pickett's Charge, ended about a mile away in failure, gray-clad troops blunted by determined Union troops at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Those young boys recalled by Faulkner were stopped at the Angle, a stone wall considered the high-water mark of the Confederacy -- perhaps the last chance for victory in the U.S. Civil War. Instead, the Union prevailed at Gettysburg, a turning point in the four-year war that claimed at least 620,000 lives.
This weekend and through July 7, between 200,000 and 300,000 visitors -- more than the number of combatants -- will flock to the town and fields of Gettysburg National Military Park to mark the 150th anniversary of the three-day clash, which cost an incredible 51,000 casualties.
Pickett's Charge will be the climactic event of a large re-enactment this weekend outside of park boundaries. On July 3, the actual anniversary of the attack, National Park Service rangers will guide thousands of visitors in loose formation across a gently rolling field. Others will stand where Federal regiments poured rifle and artillery fire into the arc of Confederates.
The event ends with the playing of Taps by multiple musicians, a solemn remembrance of selfless sacrifice by the warriors at Gettysburg.
Times have changed since previous anniversary observances, including the 1938 reunion, at which grizzled veterans of the battle met at Gettysburg one last time in an event known for reconciliation. They shook hands across that famous wall at the Angle. Some let out the haunting Rebel Yell.
The 150th commemoration of the battle will tell a wider story than previous observances, officials told CNN.
"For decades, people came here for military and black powder," said Carl Whitehill, media relations manager for the Gettysburg Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Now they want to know about the civilians and what they endured during and after the battle."
Mike Litterst of the National Park Service said interpretations at federal Civil War battlefields have evolved in the past 25 years. Besides telling the story of the battles and the homefront, exhibits increasingly stress the importance of the conflict to civil rights and the role of African-Americans, thousands of whom served in the Union Army.
About 400 events are planned over 10 days, including a second battle re-enactment next weekend.
Gettysburg National Military Park on Sunday will hold one of its 150th anniversary signature events, an evening program entitled "Gettysburg: A New Birth of Freedom." The keynote speaker is historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Country music singer Trace Adkins and a military band will perform the national anthem.
The ceremony concludes with a procession to the Soldiers' National Cemetery, where luminaries will mark each of 3,500 graves of soldiers who died at Gettysburg.
"I think it is an opportunity for people to have a deeper understanding of what happened here and how it is still relevant in 21st century America," said Litterst.
Small town made way into history books
Gettysburg, then a bucolic town of 2,400 souls, found itself directly drawn into the Civil War during the first days of July 1863. Southern troops took the war to the North after a resounding victory at the Battle of Chancellorsville two months before.
Gen. Robert E. Lee's soldiers on the first day of battle pushed Union troops through the town and onto hills and ridges that eventually played a large part in the battle's outcome.
"There was street fighting in the inside (of Gettysburg)," said Whitehill. "Throughout the town, a lot of people were shooting muskets out of windows."
Jennie Wade, while kneading dough, was fatally shot in the back on July 3, the only civilian casualty at Gettysburg,
Gettysburg, now with a population of about 7,800, and surrounding Adams County anticipate a $100 million economic impact from 150th anniversary observances.
Whitehill has spent much of his time assisting nearly 700 journalists from across the United States and abroad. Among international media are German, UK, Australian and Swiss companies.
"One of the things that amazes international visitors and media is why we re-enact this war. It is such a pivotal and painful time for this country but every year we bring it to life and re-enact it."
The area's 2,600 rooms and 1,800 campsites are largely filled, although a few are left.
"A lot of people move to this area for the history," said Whitehill. "A lot of people just love being close to it."

carburetor question
What is the effect on driveability if the anti perculator rocker arm is not in contact from the metering rod arm( to wide of a gap) on the WA-1s. Will this cause hard starting on a hot engine that is attempted to be restarted after standing for a 1/2 hour or so, and requiring the need to hold the gas pedal down to the floor to fire? Or is this characteristic caused by something else?
If the anti-percolator valve remains shut when engine is shut down hot, then the vapor pressure in the bowl will force fuel through the jets into the manifold, flooding it. Then it becomes necessary to hold the pedal down while cranking in hopes of getting it started again. The stamped sheet metal tab on the anti-percolator valve can be easily bent up to make contact with the rocker arm so that the rocker arm just cracks the anti-percolator valve open when throttle is closed. With the anti-percolator valve open, the fuel vaporizing in the float bowl from residual engine heat on hot shut-down will now vent out the anti-percolator valve and not be forced down the jets past the metering rod (which will be raised off it's seat by the spring under the vacuum piston since there is no engine vacuum with engine off).
It has to be set with the Carter tool. If not you can have problems both ways. Walt.
Thanks, I suspected that. But, like Walt says I believe that I must remove the carbs to accurately set the throttle plate at "open .030" with a wire tool, and use a gauge for the "saxaphone valve" at about .005-.015. Would I be correct in saying that?
The anti-perculator valves have to be set with carb at idle position, and the 2 valves have to be set at the ring around the upper tower. All work should be done on the bench, as to set everything, throttle screw must be backed out all the way. Walt.
Thanks again. I just checked the rear carb didn't open at all and the front very little. Oh well, a small project in the works.
More questions about carbs. I have a Twin H carb setup for a 308 engine. I do not have any history on the carbs. They were completely frozen when I got them. At soaking in carbs cleaner for a couple of weeks, they are completely freed up , everything moves now. They were attached to the engine, which I could turn with a wrench on the pulley nut. No frozen pistons or valves. Anyway, my thoughts are to rebuild the carbs as part of the process. I purchased rebuild kits from Dale Cooper. I purchased a rebuild manual from the Carburetor doctor. Someone said I need the Carburetor rebuild tool kit, which I have not found yet. My questions are is it essential to have this tool kit, and is rebuilding these carbs a DIY kind of thing? Not knowing my skill level may make answering this question difficult, but are there any 1st timers out there who have completed this task with any success. I did read that people send them to Walt for rebuilding, but thought I would like to do as much as possible myself on this project. Thanks Herman
The only tool you must have is the little gauge to set the metering rod in the main jet. I made my own from a picture a kind soul posted here. Otherwise, measure carefully. Drill bits make good gauges, an adjusting tool for the anti-percolator valve can be made by notching a small piece of flat stock. A Unisync is handy for balancing your carbs. Toothpicks and small wires are good for cleaning passages.
Patience is key, and don't lose the little check balls!
Hudson Service manuals, ect. are available here: http://hetclub.org/burr/lithomepage.htmSix in a row makes it GO! -
Yes on the Hudson manuals too . I am no carb expert - I have my brother in law do them for me . He is a small engine guy an absolute wiz with carbs. He tells me the Hudson books are very helpfull having info the kit instuctions dont,

SATURDAY, January 13,1883The SPEAKER called the House to order and announced prayer by Rev. Mr. Hyatt.
The Clerk's minutes of yesterday's proceedings were being read, when
On motion by Mr. SCHLOSS, the further reading thereof was dispensed with.
Mr. MONTGOMERY, by special permission of the House, made, a personal explanation saying that he had been incorrectly represented by the Indianapolis papers as having nominated Mr. W H. Hay, of Marion County, for Principal Clerk of the House. In order to he set right before his constituents. he wished it to be understood that he was incorrectly reported.
A motion was adopted that when the House adjourned it be until 2 o'clock next Monday.
The SPEAKER announced the order of business to be the consideration of the joint resolution [S. 4] pending at the adjournment yesterday afternoon, for instruction to Indiana Senators and a request of Representatives in Congress from Indiana, to oppose the passage of a bankrupt law.
Mr. ROBINSON said: I am in favor of a well adjusted bankrupt law. It has been conceded by members opposed to this resolution that a good bankrupt law would be beneficial. I am therefore in favor of the law now pending before Congress.
Mr. BEST: I shall vote against this resolution, not because I am in favor of this law or against it, but because the people of Steuben County have as much confidence in our Representatives in Congress as they have in this body, and are willing to trust them to act without instructions.
Mr. ANTRIM said: I think it is our duty to express our views on this matter. I am decidedly opposed to a bankrupt law and shall favor the resolution.
Mr. CABBAGE was satisfied that the bankrupt system had been a failure, and for that reason was in favor of the resolution.
Mr. PATTEN demanded the previous question but the House refused to second the demand.
Mr COPELAND: I am opposed to this resolution for various reasons. I do not believe this House was sent here to instruct our Congressmen, and do not believe we ought to Instruct our Representatives in Congress to vote on the pending question-I for one am not in favor of sending Representatives to Congress who have not back bone enough to vote for what they think to be for the best interests of the country.
Mr. SMITH, in opposing the resolution/said the greatest commercial nation in the world has a bankrupt law. I hardly think that any class of men are competent to give instructions on this matter who have not given the question careful attention, therefore I shall vote "no" on the reso-
Mr. SHIVELY: I shall vote "no," believing that our Senators and Representatives from this State, who are on the ground and examining this law, can vote more wisely on this question than we can.
Mr. WILEY said: I am opposed to this resolution. I am in favor of a wise and just bankrupt law. I have examined into the merits of the law before Congress at the present day. I feel satisfied that if the members of this House would examine it for themselves the bankrupt law now before Congress, it would materially chang the sense of this House concerning this law. I am in favor of a wise bankrupt law, and I shall vote "no" on this resolution.
The joint resolution was adopted by yeas, 56; nays, 30.
Mr. JEWETT, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported back Mr. Wilson's, of Marion, bill [H. R.] concerning taxation, with the recommendation that it do pass.

By Mr. CHITTENDEN [H. R. 159] to repeal the act concerning the taxation of land and other property in the limits of cities and towns. Referred to the Committee on Cities and Towns.
The Special Committee thereon reported a resolution directing the Doorkeeper to purchase two thermometers, and to keep the temperature of the hall of the House of Representatives approximating 70 Fahrenheit, and authoring him to empower an assistant, whose duty it shall be to regulate the temperature of the room.
The report of the Committee was concurred in.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Knox, subsequently offered a resolution directing that the Doorkeeper to have charge of the ventilation of the hall shall be allowed $3 a lay for his services, and act under instruction;, from the Committee on Ventilation.
Mr. HEFFREN offered a resolution, which was adopted, requiring the Committee heretofore appointed to contract for Committee rooms to secure a room or the use of the Committee on the Investigation of the New State House Affairs, and report the same to this House.

Mr. WILLIAMS, of Posey, by consent, called up the bill [S. 49] to fix the terms of holding Courts in the Counties of Posey and Vanderburg, and on his further motion the bill was read the second time and passed to the third reading.
The House then adjourned till 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, under an order adopted this morning.

The D-backs' No. 3 prospect yielded a run on five hits while striking out seven over six innings as Mobile lost to Mississippi, 4-2, on Monday. Skaggs, who also uncorked a wild pitch, tossed 83 pitches in his season debut and was pleased with his debut.
"I was very happy, I felt really comfortable on the mound," Skaggs said. "I felt like I was throwing the ball well and I felt like I had pretty much everything working for me. I had good command of my curveball, so it was basically fastball, curveball and changeup. I felt like I could throw all three pitches for strikes tonight."
Skaggs got a chance to pitch for Arizona during Spring Training, going 1-1 with a 7.16 ERA in six Cactus League contests. While the 20-year-old left-hander wasn't expected to win a job at the big league level, the experience was nevertheless valuable for him.
"It was a great experience, I really learned how to pitch," Skaggs said. "I thought I knew how to pitch, but when I went up there, I realized I knew nothing about pitching. I really learned how to throw strikes and keep my composure on the mound."
Skaggs ended the 2011 season with Mobile, going 4-1 with a 2.50 ERA in 10 starts for the BayBears. The hurler was instrumental in the club's run to a Southern League title. Skaggs is grateful for the chance to open the season in the Southern League with the reigning champions.
"I'm excited about [getting a chance to defend the title]," Skaggs said. "It's going to be an exciting year."
Adam Eaton, Arizona's No. 16 prospect, was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs for the BayBears, who lost for the first time this season.

2011 NE Gentlemen's Race
VIDEO: Paper Fortress | WORDS: Gerben Gerritsen | PHOTOS: Chris Milliman
There are great juxtapositions in cycling: the tougher the ride, the greater the rewards; the further you go, the more unknown places you will discover. Combine these and you have the 2011 North East Rapha Gentlemen's Race. A 134 mile chain of beautiful scenery, grueling climbs, and challenging surfaces through little known areas of Eastern Pennsylvania.
At 7:30AM on May 21st, the first of 20 teams, each comprised of six riders, departed on a journey. Starting and ending at the iconic Lehigh Valley Velodrome, this could only become a memorable day. Of these 20 teams, only nine completed the entire racecourse with all six riders. Some teams finishing a man down, while others had to take a short cut to finish before sunset.
All 120 riders shared the feeling that this was the most grueling and, at the same time, beautiful ride they had ever done. In the following pages you will find accounts from four of the teams out on the course that day.

A huge congratulations and thanks to all riders. A special thanks goes out to: Bill Strickland and Bobby Lea for designing the course; Bicycling Magazine for all their support; The Valley Preferred Cycling Center and the Breakaway Cafe for being fantastic hosts.

| Posted by Kelli D. | (Nashville, TN)Front seat covers look fantastic and fit perfectly, easy to install minus the headrest covers which don't look as custom as I was expecting. There is no Velcro on the bottom of head rest cover to finish it off.

| Posted by Todd D. | (Indianapolis, IN)I purchased this seat cover online basically out of frustration. I couldn't make up my mind, so I just pulled the trigger on this cover and frustrated my wife by spending $250 for one seat cover. However as the saying goes, you get what you pay for and this held true on this purchase. It is a bit expensive but it was indeed tailored to the seat, and if it matched the front seats in coloring, it would be hard to detect it was cover. I'd purchase again.

| Posted by Ron F. | (Berkeley, CA)Unlike the easy installation of the front seats, the rear seats were a challenge, on my 2013 Impreza. Partly because it was hard to release/reinstall the bottom seat cushion. Many straps to secure it to the bottom; I think because there's various openings for the child seat anchors. On the seat back, there are cutouts on the rear for the child seat anchors. I also had to remove the Subaru rear seat protector (a "standard option" that came with the vehicle - went to the dealer to remove the plastic anchors, then put on the seat cover, punched holes in the seat cover to reattach the anchors for the "seat back protector"; also had to stick some Velcro on the new seat cover back to match up to where the seat back protector had Velcroed to cloth back. All worked out, but took a while. Only surprise was that the "Monarch" Insert threads were a mix of blue and red, which surprised me; I had expected it to be just black/grey/white (I had picked black as my color). Quality is very high.

I don't understand why no one has snatched it up and studied it.
Looks like space junk
It's a flying manta ray. What's the problem?
It does seem odd that the U.S. gov. is aware of it since the early 30's (before our space program).
It's too large for us to have placed into orbit, especially since it was apparently there emitting signals before our space program existed.
Lots of fun theories and "info" about it out there, I never heard about it until today.
Best one I read so far was that the signals were decoded as a star chart that referred to the star system "Izar" in the "bootes" constellation as seen from earth 13000 years ago.
Another good one was a Russian "study" that spotted it over the pacific talking to whales and transmitting whale songs (star trek fan)?
Yes, it must be an alien ship, because there aren't any other possible explanations.
debunked.. http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4365
whooda thunk?
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
