You could open MSCONFIG and disable any non microsoft services and see if it allows you to log in normally, then enable them 1 by 1
Posted 13 November 2012 - 01:55
This is what I would recommend, have you done this yet?
Start>Run type Msconfig, then choose Startups tab. Disable anything that doesn't need to boot with the machine.
If you aren't sure what processes can be disabled safely, take a screenshot and post it, or PM it to me.

I would check the status of Services. Click on the Start buton and select Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Locate Computer Browser in the list and check that the StartUp type is Manual. Also note whether the Service has started. If it has not started right click and select Start. If it does not start you will need to check the Services which the Computer Browser service depends on. You can make changes to the StartUp type of any service by right clicking on the service in the list and selecting Properties. The StartUp options are on the General tab.
The next step is to check that the StartUp type is correct for the three services the Computer Browser service needs to start. They are Server -Automatic, Security Accounts Manager -Automatic and Workstation -Automatic. All these services should show as Started as they should start when the computer is booted. If the Start Up type of any is not set to Automatic then change it to Automatic and click on Apply and OK. Start the service.

Yes, I have avast installed. Why?
Posted 13 November 2012 - 18:21
Far be it from me to presume what another user is planning on saying, but I assume it's related to the troubles that Avast has been having of late.
They have caused all sorts of havoc on Windows 8 machines. I actually recommend staying away from them for a while until they work out their issues, especially considering that Windows 8 has a very robust AV/AM tool built right into the OS.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 18:27
OP has Windows 7
I suggest an uninstall and clean install if you are still having problems.
1. Save a copy of Avast and save it to your HDD:
Version 7.0.1456:
Avast Free AV: http://files.avast.c...virus_setup.exe
Avast Pro AV : http://files.avast.c...virus_setup.exe
AIS: http://files.avast.c...urity_setup.exe
2. Download the Avast Uninstall Utility http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility and save it to your HDD.
3. Disconnect from the Internet at this time.
4. Go into Safe Mode (hit F8 repeatedly) and run the Avast Uninstall Tool. Uninstall ALL previous versions and products of Avast you had on this machine and reboot in between each uninstall.
6. Reboot.
7. Install the newest version of Avast and reboot.
8. Get Internet access and register your copy or add the license key for Free, Pro, or AIS online.
Free – http://www.avast.com...e-antivirus.php
9. Update the Avast definitions.

In this provocative philosophical analysis, Sartre refutes the idea that existentialism drains meaning from human life, by claiming that the philosophy instead gives man total freedom to achieve his own significance. Sartre's Existentialism and Human Emotions is a stirring defense of existentialist thought, which argues that "existence precedes essence." While attacks on existentialism claim that the philosophy leads to a kind of nihilistic gloom, Sartre contends that instead existentialism is the only path toward giving man meaning. Sartre ultimately argues that by the very absence of "a priori meaning," an individual can discover and shape his or her own significance and place in the world.

"I'm going to read the physical copy"
In some sense, it worth it. I just need to buy the physical book and sit down to really digest it.
"Extremely difficult prose read way too fast"
It needs to be annotated and should come with a pdf glossary of terms. Sartre created several terms of art, such as Being for itself and Being in itself, facticity, and "the nothingness of Being" in his prior works.Without any reintroduction of the concepts, this work starts discussing "the for itself" and "the in itself." It's been 20 years since I last read any Sartre, so I had to look up all of these terms online just to understand the sentences.
It probably cannot be enjoyed in an audio format. Existentialism isn't actually meant to be enjoyed, though. It's just a different way of looking at the world. I only chose to read it on audio because I have a disability that makes it hard to read text.
My MP3 player lets me play books on a slower-than recorded speed, and I had to use the slow speed for the entire book. I don't think the narrator or the producer comprehended the prose. The words that needed to be emphasized or read more slowly were lost amid all the other monotonal words. I had to rewind and re-listen to many sentences multiple times, especially in chapter two.
Because of my disability, this audiobook was a better alternative than a digital text-to-speech version of the book. This audiobook is only something I would recommend to people well-versed in existentialism.
If you are a lay reader, this book will sound like gibberish to you. A better book for you is "Man's Search for Meaning," by Victor Frankl.

My Own Personal Study Habits
I think in general I think I am an overall pretty good test taker. I am a decent test taker if anything my averages are pretty good when I take test which is probably the best thing about my test taking skills. What leads up to this is ultimately my studying habits and how well I know the subject.
The number one rule I go by is to not study excessively and especially not before a big quiz or test. My reason being is because I don't like to cram study because when I cram study and finally go take the test I feel unready for it. My philosophy is that I would rather relax before a big test that way I can get the rest I need to take the tests and I feel better about it after I am done taking it.
Another thing is that I think it is just best to know all the information beforehand. Cram long before the test and quiz and review over the week before testing that way the one day before the test can be used for minimal studying and relaxing before the big day.
My second plan is to study before the test in the case that I couldn't find time to study at all. If I couldn't find time to study I would definitely make some time to cram in info. Though I don't like doing this sometimes the situation just doesn't allow time. I do the best as I can as a college student.
Some more things that also helps with studying is too have practice quizzes or tests which are always nice to have. Another thing is to have people you can study with because it's a way to review with each other.
Places that I really like to go study is Keller Hall right behind Lind Hall, MCAE in Appleby Hall, and I like Folwell Hall right on University Ave. These are the places that I enjoy going to the most because I find I can focus well in these places and I sometimes meet friends here so it is a win-win situation.
Back to study time!

CRESTVIEW — Okaloosa County has finalized its official response to the state's extensive audit of the county commissioners, the clerk's office and the Tourist Development Council.
County commissioners unanimously approved the document at their meeting Tuesday night in Crestview. The county was required to submit a corrective action plan to the state within 30 days.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles said the response was drafted "kind of quickly," but that all the commissioners had spent long hours studying the state's findings.
"The county is forthright in taking responsibility where that's appropriate," Boyles said. "I think that's a good thing. I think we've got a good product we're sending back over to the auditor."
In their response, commissioners acknowledged all the state's recommendations and outlined how they have overhauled numerous areas, including the structure of the TDC and its role as an advisory board; policies that govern purchasing, payments to vendors, special events and sponsorships; use of county fuel cards; and proper recording of TDC meetings.
The county already has implemented many of the changes recommended by the state.
The preliminary audit report was released Dec. 18. It contained 25 key findings in 11 areas that range from oversight and fraud prevention to travel expenses and improper use of bed tax money between May 2010 and May 2012.
The bulk of the auditor general's findings and recommendations related to county spending — specifically using bed tax money or BP oil spill grants — during the two-year period.
Greg Stewart, an attorney for the county, said Okaloosa's corrective action plan is its chance to demonstrate how it will improve problems identified in the preliminary audit report.
"Once we respond, they have an opportunity to do some rebuttal," Stewart told the board during Tuesday's meeting. "This is a continual process."
The state will return to the county in 18 months to evaluate how the plan has been implemented, he added.
Commissioners directed Stewart to emphasize in the response that they, as a board, had responded to the scandal within two weeks of learning about former TDC Director Mark Bellinger's fraud scheme in early May.
"This board did not wait until an auditor general's report to take action," Commissioner Dave Parisot said.
On May 15, the board had moved the tourist development department and the TDC back under the supervision of the county administrator and put in place stricter spending guidelines.
In September, commissioners completed their overhaul of the department and updated the county law that authorized tourism development and created the TDC.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 17, 4 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Malone Stadium (30,427) -- Monroe, Louisiana. Television: None. Home Record: UNT 3-2, ULM 2-2. Away Record: UNT 1-5, ULM 4-2. Neutral Record: UNT 0-0, ULM 0-0. Conference Record: UNT 3-3, ULM 4-2. Series Record: ULM leads, 15-13.
GAME NOTES: The ULM Warhawks will try to bounce back from a recent fall in the Sun Belt Conference standings as they play host to the North Texas Mean Green on Saturday afternoon.
North Texas has had an up-and-down season in the Sun Belt Conference, going 3-3 in league play. After getting down early at home last week against South Alabama, it finished the game strong to claim a 24-14 win, snapping a two-game losing streak in the process. The Mean Green will need to win both of its remaining games to become bowl eligible, but they haven't won back-to-back games all season.
ULM's 6-1 start to the campaign cemented its place among the best mid-major teams in the nation, and it had a clear path to the Sun Belt Conference title. Since then however, the Warhawks have faltered with two straight losses in league play to Louisiana (40-24) and Arkansas State (45-23). They are still bowl eligible for just the third time in school history and would like a strong finish to assure themselves their first bowl appearance.
This bout marks the 29th meeting between these two schools, with ULM holding a slim 15-13 advantage. The Warhawks have won 10 of the 14 matchups in Monroe.
The Mean Green's offense has been stuck in neutral for most of the season, ranking eighth in the conference in scoring at just 21.1 ppg
Derek Thompson has been a steady presence under center, as he has thrown for at least 200 yards in seven games this season, but he is coming off his worst performance of the year last week against South Alabama (12-of-28, 106 yards, TD, INT). He has 13 touchdowns (two rushing) and 10 interceptions on the season.
Ivan Delgado leads the team in both receptions (34) and receiving yards (474) but he has yet to find the end zone. Brelan Chancellor has been the team's big-play threat with 25 catches for 450 yards (18.0 ypc) and five touchdowns.
North Texas has an impressive three-headed monster at running back, with Brandin Byrd (681 yards, three TDs), Antoinne Jimmerson (544 yards, five TDs), and Jeremy Brown (380 yards, three TDs) all showing promise as ball carriers. Jimmerson is also an impressive receiver with 12 catches for 205 yards and three scores.
After giving up 75 total points in its previous two losses, the North Texas defense bounced back against South Alabama by allowing just 303 yards of offense while recovering two fumbles. The unit allows an averge of 26.7 ppg.
With 94 tackles, Zachary Orr has 19 more stops than his closest teammate, and he also accounts for two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Marcus Trice and Zac Whitfield also have two interceptions, and K.C. Obi has 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
ULM has the Sun Belt's most potent offense (36.1 ppg), but things have clearly not been the same since the loss of star quarterback Kolton Browning to injury two weeks ago. The Warhawks have averaged just 23.5 ppg during their two-game losing streak.
With more than 300 total yards per game and 28 touchdowns, Browning was making a strong case for Sun Belt Player of the Year honors before suffering a leg injury against Louisiana, and while he hasn't officially be ruled out for the rest of the season, his return looks bleak. Cody Wells has performed admirably in his absence (.638 completion percentage, 659 yards, four TDs, four INTs), but he clearly doesn't bring the same type of dynamic playmaking ability to the mix.
The injury bug bit in the backfield as well, as leading rusher Jyruss Edwards (438 yards, six TDs) has been lost for the year. Monterrell Washington (325 yards, six TDs) has played well since being inserted into the starting lineup. He tallied 108 total yards and a pair of scores against Arkansas State last week.
Brent Leonard (76 receptions, 851 yards, eight TDs) has been one of the nation's hottest receivers. With a career-high 14 receptions last week, he has 34 catches for 428 yards and five touchdowns in his last three games alone.
The Warhawks defense (30.1 ppg, 405.9 ypg) was tolerable when they were putting up big point totals on offense, but now their deficiencies have become much more glaring. They've given up 95 total points over the last two weeks.
The defense's saving grace is its ability to force turnovers, as it has 13 interceptions and seven fumble recoveries. Isaiah Newsome and DaCorris Ford each have three picks, and R.J. Young has a team-high 66 tackles to go along with 7.5 tackles for loss, an interception, and two fumble recoveries.
ULM is not the same team without Browning, and it looks as though its hopes for a conference championship are all but dashed. However, the Warhawks are still in play for a bowl game, and it should be able to do enough at home to take down an unspectacular North Texas team.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: ULM 34, North Texas 30

Howdy folks. It's me VariablePenguin. You might remember me from about 4 years ago when I was really last active around here. Well I'm back!
Just thought I'd reintroduce myself. As you can tell by my post count, I used to be really active around here. I think I'm still in the top 20 for number of posts!
I've still been customizing in the time I've been away, mainly posting over at the Toy Soup and on my personal web site (below). But, I'll be posting everything new I do here as well from now on, so constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated when I do. I've already added 4 of my more recent figures (Avalanche, Luffy, Snake Eyes, and Cable).
I'm hoping the vibe around here is still the same as when I left before and full of friendly people looking to make some awesome figures and looking to help each other.
Thanks and glad to be back!

Another sample page of our upcoming book
It's from the chapter that introduces the building and programming of a fully working slot machine.
Note that the book contains very detailed building instructions for each robot. In the case of the slot machine, it's more than 100 steps!
You will need not only two NXT bricks for this robot and five motors, but will also learn a lot from the programming instructions in terms of inter-brick communication.
Got interested?

thanks for answering both my comments and i'm phyched to get my hands on a copy of the book and build it

Sorry but was necesary two inteligent bricks, no?
Then was necesary two NXT retali kit.... ¿or not is essential the second inteligent brick?

My robot only requires 1 (one) Brick and can be built using ONLY the 1 (one) retail kit.
(For those that have the Education kit, there are some parts I use that are not included in the base Education kit and that is why I added that the Resource Kit is also required for those with the Ed kit - the Resource Kit comes with additional parts for teachers/coaches to use with the Ed kit.)

stampeding nxter,
you will need two retail kits to build the slot machine. I don't know how this matches to the edu kits?
- Jun 15, 2007, 11:49:00 PM
- Rick Rhodes said...
Fay's robot will need one NXT retail kit OR one Education kit with the Resource set.
In other words, only ONE brick and TWO motors are needed (along with various Technic pieces).

What is Timer and TimerTask in Java – Tutorial Example
6 comments :
- garima said...
Hi Javin,
The program which you have provided here is for one time execution.
What are changes need to be done in program for recurring execution?
- February 4, 2013 at 6:29 AM
- Jiri Pinkas said...
Timer is great. I used it a lot until I found this class:
From API: "This class is preferable to Timer when multiple worker threads are needed, or when the additional flexibility or capabilities of ThreadPoolExecutor (which this class extends) are required."
- February 4, 2013 at 11:27 AM
- Javin @ ClassLoader in Java said...
@garima, You just need to use different schedule() method from Timer class. For recurring execution you can following schedule() method :
public void schedule(TimerTask task,
long delay,
long period)
This will schedule task for repeated execution, first execution will be after delay specified by second argument and than subsequent recurring execution will be separated by period, third argument.
- February 4, 2013 at 5:07 PM

It really is the World's Best
By Smart Shopper
from Fairfield County, CT
The tree is on the pricey side but it does look quite real. It took me many years before I would consider buying an artificial tree. I am actually very happy with it. It holds my larger ornaments much better than a real tree since the branches are sturdier than on a real tree. It is also maintenance free,no watering and no vacuuming up needles!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very pleased!
By Grammy Sheesh
from Moses Lake, Washington
After much shopping and researching......I ordered the 7 1/2' Nobel Fir. It was easy to set up, and, much to my husbands surprise, quite quick to fluff! Once we were finished getting the branches just right, we plugged in the lights and were VERY pleased with the results! The tree branches look very real and they support my heaviest ornaments!

Best looking artificial tree
By Eleanor
from British Columbia
My family was dead set against a 'fake' tree. Every single one of them loves it. Looks like a real noble fir. Expensive - but worth it. No watering, no needles to clog the vacuum and no fishing line tied to the wall to keep it straight.
Best Christmas purchase
By C
from Scranton , Pa
Simply gorgeous tree. Crazy fast delivery. Looks real without the mess (our first artificial tree, have always had real ones & couldn't be happier)

Stones of the Seven Rays: The Science of the Seven Facets of the Soul, by Michel Coquet
Destiny Books, 978-1594774331, 352 pp., 2012
Stones of the Seven Rays contains two major parts: "The Esoteric Tradition of Stones," and "Stones of the Seven Rays." The latter catalogues the properties of the primary stones for each Ray. Within each section, substitute stones are listed (e.g., rock crystal for diamond), which expands the usefulness of the material.
This edition is very nicely produced. It is printed on extra-gloss paper, and is full of excellent colour photos, mostly by the author. It gives a structured overview of gemstone lore associated with the doctrine of the seven rays.
The model of the seven rays comes from Theosophy. The best source for anyone who wants more detail on the Rays and their natures would be Alice Bailey's Esoteric Psychology, Vol. 1: A Treatise on the Seven Rays. The rays are considered to be primary energies and intelligences emanating from the Source, as the archetype of all of our septenary enumerations (planets, heavens, days of the week, and so on), and as forces that condition the course of evolution by cycling in and out of prominence in a great cycle reminiscent of the yugas of Indian cosmology.

I've always thought that Moist and William de Worde are almost the same character but written from opposite directions. William is the one that wants to be better than his father and Moist becomes better by circumstance. Both strives to be better than they are.
I think that William can almost be seen as a prototype Moist as Moist seems to have more personality and flair.

That shopworn slogan about "What happens in Las Vegas" doesn't apply to Vette owners. It's not that we can't keep secrets; we just don't really care whether somebody knows what we did or not. Subtlety is not a virtue when it comes to driving a Corvette. (If you want to keep a low profile in Las Vegas, take the monorail instead.) In fact, we'd be kinda upset if we didn't get noticed.
Which leads us to our recent tour of Southern Nevada in a watch-me red '11 Grand Sport. Even though GM loaned us the car for publicity purposes, we could at least pretend to be high rollers for the weekend. So when I pulled into the airport to pick up our distinguished editor, we cranked up the Elvis tunes on the satellite radio and headed for the nearest resort casino for some action. Hey, the Rat Pack has got nuthin' on us!
Unlike Hunter Thompson's seminal work on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (which for some is a much more apt city slogan), we stayed relatively sober. After all, driving a 430hp Grand Sport Corvette with a wide-stance body and flared fenders is intoxicating enough.
Indeed, that's why we also included a visit to the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in nearby Pahrump, about 45 minutes west of town on State Highway 160. Ron Fellows, who heads up the driving school there, has some impressive Corvette credentials under his belt: He did the initial testing and development of the Corvette C5-R and is a technical advisor to GM Racing. Campaigning Corvettes since 1999, he's stuffed his trophy case with three American Le Mans Series GTS Championships, two 24 Hours of Le Mans wins, and 19 SCCA Trans-Am wins, just to name a few. His blunt observation about endurance racing: "You're so glad when it's over."
We took several hot laps around the winding track there, and appreciated the expert coaching on how to get the most out of a Corvette in the curves. (Our last press junket there a few years ago involved thrashing a Honda S2000, which by comparison feels like pedaling a bike around the course.) We came away wishing we'd spent an entire week at the track, stirring the gears and mashing the throttle, even though Pahrump lacks the lures of Las Vegas (aside from the legal brothels, if you're into that sort of thing). We never could find any remnants from the alien landing in Mars Attacks! All we saw were wide-open stretches of smooth, inviting highway. (Incidentally, Nevada's roadwork is rated the best in the U.S.)
So on the way back to town we did what comes naturally to our itchy right foot—and stood on it. Taking a photo of the heads-up speedo display is kinda tricky while driving at triple digits, so if it looks like we had an egg underneath our size 10 loafer (since the mph readout was slightly lower for the photo) it's only because we were juggling a camera at the same time.
Fortunately, the Grand Sport's ride feels as smooth as silk sheets in a high-roller suite, thanks to the Magnetic Selective Ride Control. It's now available on Grand Sport models, with a dual-setting control to stiffen the suspension for twisty roads or a more compliant ride for city driving and freeways. If you're not already familiar with how it works, an electromagnetic coil is located inside each damper piston. To make the damper fluid more resistant, an increase in electrical current bonds the ferrous particles together. For a softer ride, the electromagnetic field is reduced so the fluid flows more freely.
Speaking of fluids, before we stir up the saucier side of Vegas, we'll point out a few other routes outside of the city for cruising in a Corvette. Northwest of town, there's a lofty palisade of colorful rock formations, rightly described as Red Rock canyon. It's a visually stunning experience, with several scenic stops along the way on the loop of Highway 159 (which intersects with Route 160), including Bonnie Springs (an Old West–style tourist attraction) and a number of trails for stretching your legs after a long drive. Watch your speed through here, though, as wild burros frequent the area, and you don't want to end up with one as a hood ornament.
For some faster and more challenging touring, we'd recommend a drive to Death Valley (west of Pahrump and the I-95, just across the California border). What's interesting is that despite its forbidding name, Death Valley is neither dead nor merely a valley. Larger than the state of Connecticut, it's actually a great desert sink with some surprising contrasts in elevations, from a low of -282 feet at Badwater to a high of 11,049 feet at Telescope Peak. And although the hottest temperature recorded here was 134 degrees, it also can drop below freezing. Hundreds of species of animals and thousands of plant types survive these formidable conditions, usually at the occasional springs dotting the eerie terrain.
Of course, Death Valley can still be a deadly place to visit, and that's part of its appeal, especially for Corvette owners looking for the ultimate test of their cars' capabilities. On a July day, a person needs 9 quarts of water just to stay alive in the shade. People have been known to perish on short walks in the noonday sun.

School employees mourn slain colleagues
MEA members are mourning the loss of two colleagues who were murdered in separate tragedies last week.
Michael Landsberry, 45, a middle-school math teacher in Sparks, Nev., died last Monday while protecting his students from a school shooter. The 12-year-old assailant shot and killed Landsberry before turning the gun on himself.
Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School in Danvers, Mass., was murdered the following day in a school restroom, according to police. A 14-year-old student of Ritzer's has been charged with her murder.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends and students," National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel said of Landsberry and Ritzer.
"We will probably never know all the factors that accumulate to unleash this kind of violence, but we must commit to doing all we can to make sure students and educators are safe in our schools," Van Roekel said. "We must work on preventing gun violence, bullying prevention and greater access to mental health services, so that educators and families can identify problems and intervene before it's too late."
NEA has set up websites for people to send messages of support to the Sparks and Danvers communities.

OW2Con 2012 - Call for Presentations
OW2 Consortium invites presentation proposals from qualified experts who meet the consortium's criteria for motivating open source professionals to excel professionally and improve technical performance.
June 30, 2012 is the deadline for speaker proposals for OW2con 2012. Please take the time to review the following details and requirements so that you will have the best chance to be selected. Then use the online form available below to submit your presentation.
OW2Con 2012 will feature the latest innovations and new technologies in the open source middleware and open source cloud computing areas. Launched in 2009, OW2Con has evolved into an international high-technology event, featuring two days of project demonstrations and presentations, open source initiatives and follow-ups, business presentations and panel discussions.
Speaker Requirements: You are an experienced technology expert from the open source community. You are a project leader, a project contributor, a project manager in charge of component deployments within the OW2 Consortium, or a researcher. You are expected to support a wide diversity of perspectives from all fields and disciplines relating to open source middleware and open source cloud computing.
Speaker proposals should fit with one of those topics:
· Middleware in Action: Technology presentations based on OW2 projects ;latest news on OW2 flagship projects and new projects presentations.
. Joint Projects presentations: Presentations given jointly by two or more project leaders working together. The aim is to highlight interactions between OW2 projects and show how OW2 components are used simultaneously. Project presentations should include not only technical explanations, but also project demonstrations and feedback from end-users.
· Open Source Cloud Summit: Presentations related to open source cloud computing, proposed by members participating in the OSCi Initiative; external participants are welcome to send their proposals for consideration; Technical- and business-oriented proposals will also be considered.
· DO WE KEEP THAT??OW2 Business Intelligence Initiative: Presentations proposed by participants and project leaders from the OW2 Business Intelligence Initiative. Technical- and business-oriented proposals will also be considered.
· Round Tables on Technology: Please submit your topic by filling in a text box.(TO CHECK; DO WE INCLUDE THAT IN THE SUBMISSION FORM OR DO WE ORGANIZE IT SEPARATELY?)

Ah, memories. It seems like only yesterday when offset grinding a crank for a miniscule bump in cubic inches was the only game in town. Anyone lucky enough to score a 400 small-block crank at a swap meet stashed it away in a safety deposit box. My oh my how times have changed, because unless your Mouse packs 427 cubes these days, forget about getting any respect on cruise night. Even a 540 is merely a modestly sized big-block by today's standards. You can thank the influx of affordable aftermarket stroker crankshafts, and the market is changing rapidly. While the first wave of affordable cranks inundated the market with tons of stroke lengths for a variety of applications, the focus has shifted since then. Now every new generation of cranks brings improvements in finish machining, heat-treating, mass reduction, oiling, and ease of balancing. To get educated on the latest developments in crank and rod technology, we hit up Shane Pochon of Lunati. The company has been churning out premium quality rotating assemblies for decades, and has recently revamped its product line. Additionally, we asked Shane to delve into some more general crank and rod basics, covering everything from metallurgy to manufacturing techniques to harmonics.
Crankshaft Lineup
In recent months, Lunati has completely revamped its lineup of crankshafts. Our entry-level Voodoo crank offers high-quality features at a budget-friendly price. These non-twist 4340 steel forgings are nitrided for extra durability, and have micro-polished bearing surfaces for reduced friction and wear. Although they're priced for budget-conscious engine builders, our Voodoo cranks boast high-end features like drilled crankpin arms to reduce rotating weight. These cranks will handle up to 1,000 hp, making them perfect for street and mild race applications. Lunati's Signature Series cranks offer many of the same basic features as our Voodoo cranks, but with more bells and whistles. While they're also forged from 4340 steel, the Signature Series crankshafts are manufactured from the highest-quality aircraft-grade material in terms of cleanliness and purity. These American-made cranks feature gun-drilled main journals, profiled counterweights, and a deep-drilled crank snout to better support balancers and blower pulleys. While that doesn't make much of a difference in power output, Lunati's Signature Series crankshafts have proven reliable in engine applications exceeding 1,500 hp.
Cast vs. Forged vs. Billet
Crankshafts can be of cast, forged, and billet construction. A cast crankshaft is the most basic and inexpensive. When making a cast crank, metal is poured into a mold, which results in a casting that very closely resembles the shape of a finished crank. This reduces the labor required to machine the crank into its final shape, in turn reducing costs. Cast cranks often use the cheapest raw material as well. The drawback of this approach is that with a casting, the grain structure of the metal runs all over the place. In contrast, forged cranks start with higher quality material, and the forging process involves compressing the metal into shape in a die. By compressing the metal, the grain structure gets rearranged and strengthens the crank. Just like wood, the metal used to manufacture a crankshaft has a distinct grain structure. With a forging, the grain structure is aligned parallel like wood, which helps hold the crankshaft together.

A picture is a thosand words, but a video is a thosand pictures (or more). I wish Mr. Gorter could take videos of his creations as pictures do not do any justice for the functionality of robots.
However, it looks great. Nice work Menno!

Why doesn't Menno make videos. Perhaps he could borrow a camcorder from a friend?

Editors Note:
There's a lot going on in the aftermarket automotive sector that can affect what we love the most-our muscle cars. And while some opt to turn their heads in hopes that everything will turn out for the best, the truth is we all need to have a better understanding of the pending legislations and be aware of what we can do to protect our sport as automotive enthusiasts.
-Henry D
The 2010 elections are here, and at no time in recent history has Washington been so divided. Less than two years ago, then Senator Barack Obama led a movement united by the desire for change. Voters wanted a new era of bipartisan cooperation, openness, and an abandonment of "politics as usual."
The realities of backroom politics quickly eroded campaign ideals. Whether President Obama and the Democratic leadership failed to deliver, or his opponents refused the invitation, the battle lines were fortified and partisan rancor is now stronger than ever.
It's easy to identify key events that hastened the downfall. We must also acknowledge that circumstances at the beginning of 2009 were dire. The world economy wavered and consumers and businesses alike were gripped in fear. Early decisions made by the Obama Administration and Congress helped bring stability to the markets but also left a sour taste for many. Did we bail out the right people? Did we mortgage our future to jump-start the economy? Will skyrocketing deficits lead to stagflation, inflation, or other types of economic grief?
Health care reform underscored the divisions. Early on there was a "debate" on how to address the twin issues of skyrocketing premiums and the millions of Americans without health care insurance. But by last summer, it had devolved into issue ads and angry town hall gatherings.
We are again at an election crossroads in which many voters are seeking "change." That's what this issue of the magazine is about-an opportunity to consider how actions being taken by federal and state lawmakers impact you: the auto enthusiast. The need for the enthusiast community to stay informed and become involved is greater than ever. From emissions to auto equipment standards, the government is making decisions about your current and future car.
This topic is not limited to Washington. While the federal government issues national rules dictating vehicle safety and emissions equipment, most other issues are handled at the state and local levels. From titling and registration to inspection/maintenance, your car is subject to decisions made by state and local officials.
The future of our hobby depends on you. The ballot box is one venue for making your views known. We also urge you to work collectively with your fellow enthusiasts. How? Join the SEMA Action Network (SAN). The SAN is a partnership between enthusiasts, car clubs, and members of the specialty auto parts industry in the U.S. and Canada who have pledged to join forces in support of legislative solutions for the auto hobby. It's free to join and the SAN keeps you informed about pending legislation and regulations-both good and bad-that will impact your state or the entire country. It also provides you with action alerts, speaking points, and lawmaker contact information if you want to support or oppose a bill. Join now at semasan.com.

The Office of Mine Reclamation (OMR)
Created in 1991 to administer the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA), OMR provides assistance to cities, counties, state agencies and mine operators for reclamation planning and promotes cost-effective reclamation. OMR strives to reclaim mined lands to a beneficial end-use through the implementation of SMARA and minimize residual hazards to public health and safety through the Abandoned Mine Lands program.
Earlier this year a letter was emailed to all SMARA Lead Agencies as a reminder that submittal of an Inspection Notice along with the MRRC-1 Inspection Form is required under SMARA (PRC2774[b]). To assist the lead agencies with the requirement, the Office of Mine Reclamation has developed a convenient Inspection Notice Form. This specific form is not required, as SMARA states only what content is to be included in the notice.
New Surface Mining Inspection Report Form Adopted
On July 11, 2013 the State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) approved a new Surface Mining Inspection Report Form (Form MRRC-1). According to the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act, all surface mining operations must be inspected annually using a form adopted by SMGB. Lead Agency use of the new form is mandatory effective July 17, 2013.
The new form includes instructions for its use. Additionally, the Office of Mine Reclamation will include instructions on the use of the form at its regular workshops.

Original-Style vs. O-Ring Seal:
Lip seal piston seals were factory installed in 1965-1982 calipers, and if you are wanting to keep your Corvette 100% correct they are the way to go. However, be aware that prolonged inactivity and/or worn brake components are the enemy of the lip seal design. If you enjoy exercising your Corvette heartily, or, conversely, your pride and joy often sits for extended periods, O-ring seals are the better choice. Superior in design all-around, O-rings offer the best sealing possible.

I don't know about you, but when I turn that corner and make my way down the detailing aisle, I feel as if I've just been cracked over the head with a whipping stick. My eyes wander from side to side, up and down, inside and out, and then before I know it, I'm caught up in an orange, green, yellow, and pink packaging psychedelic mind trip. Seriously, there are so many products out there to choose from, and they all have bright packaging. Some of the products are the bare necessities, and some are tools and gadgets to get the job done faster and easier, which are cool. But then there is also a select handful of products that make such drastic claims, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the cure for world hunger! The truth is, there are a lot of really good and cool products out there. To show you, we've gathered up a chunk of products that will benefit your detailing routine. (I know what you're thinkin', "Are you trying to overload me like a detailing aisle?"). Take a look and get acquainted with them. Also, be sure to search the manufacturers and see what else they offer. If you do that the next time you set out to buy some detailing goods, "that aisle" won't overload your brain and cause a major malfunction.

Congratulations to Brett Lee for becoming an S1! See you on the scopes!
VATUSA is excited to announce the return of Light Up America on Saturday May 17, 2014. This event will feature all 22 ARTCCs within VATUSA for 10 hours. 4 hours of which the entire continental USA will be lit up with Air Traffic Control at the Centers as well as Major Approach and Tower facilities. Enjoy uninterrupted ATC during the event. Simply fly between any airports as much you would like and enjoy the quality ATC Services that VATUSA facilities pride themselves on.
Every facility will be on for at least a 6 hour time frame with the East Coast facilities starting up at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. As the event progresses, the additional centers will log on at noon in their local time zone. By 3:00 PM all the centers will be online for you. As the event winds down, facilities will be encouraged to remain online, but must remain online until at least 6:00 PM local time. As they begin to close down, we will extend the event even further west with the Anchorage, Honolulu, and Oakland Oceanic control facilities coming online to work your Hawaii and Alaska flights! It will be a great day of flying for you.
Anchorage and Seattle ARTCC Present: Canadian Crossing, every Friday from 0200z until 0600z Each Friday between 0200z and 0600z, both Anchorage and Seattle ARTCC will light up Spokane, KGEG and Juneau, PAJN. Each flight, being approximately two hours in length, gives pilots the chance to flex their muscles across the northwest of the United States and Canada. With Spokane being a Class C airfield and Juneau being Class D airfields, it offers different opportunities to both the pilot and controllers then compared to flying into Anchorage and Seattle. Both Anchorage and Seattle ARTCC look forward to seeing you cross Southern Alaska and Canada!
It is with great pleasure I announce that Aidan Sandri has been selected as our next Events Director. He is chomping at the bit and ready to come out swinging to bring much needed excitement back to the Final Frontier! He has several great event ideas, so look forward to seeing a jump in activity as we get this place hopping once again.

Boy in dramatic rescue from Cumbrian cliff-face
Last updated at 11:30, Friday, 13 April 2012
A 13-year-old boy was rescued from a crumbling cliff after he became stranded during rising tides at Whitehaven.
The teenager had climbed 30ft up an outcrop known locally as "Whitey Rock" on the north beach at Whitehaven when he became stuck.
Coastguards, firefighters, ambulance and the RNLI lifeboat from St Bees were called to the scene last night.
Paul Pater, the Whitehaven coastguard station officer who co-ordinated the rescue, said the boy was "clinging to the rock like a gecko".
"He had been hanging on for about 30 minutes," he said.
"He was very frightened but once the rescue technician reached him he calmed down.
"He could have lost his grip and fallen."
The Whitehaven Coast Rescue Team described the rescue as "extremely difficult and hazardous" due to the shale make-up of the rock, making the cliff face unstable and slippery.
They said that there was "a constant danger of either the youth slipping off the ledge, or the ledge itself crumbling away."
A rescuer was lowered down to the boy and placed a rescue harness on him and lifted him to the top before lowering him down the more stable seaward side of the rock.
The boy had managed to alert a family member of his predicament.
Police were called at 5.36pm who informed Liverpool Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre of the incident.
Whitehaven Coast Rescue Team were deployed and a cliff rescue team dispatched.
A water rescue team was also on standby at the base of the rock as the tide was coming in quickly.
Coastguard watch officer Brian George said: "The young man, on holiday in the area from London, was extremely lucky.
"The quick thinking [of staff] in the police control room, the local knowledge in the coastguard co-ordination centre enabling staff to pinpoint the casualty and the skill, flexibility and experience of the rescue teams combined to ensure a successful outcome and safe return of the casualty to his family.
"With the summer holiday season fast approaching this incident serves as a reminder that people of all ages should use extreme caution around cliffs and rocks on the coast.
"Always check the tide times and never go climbing on rocks or cliffs alone or without taking local advice and using the proper equipment."
St Bees Lifeboat was launched to standby as the tide approached.
Two fire engines from Workington and two from Whitehaven also attended.
Station manager Adrian Holme and the fire and rescue team were on standby at the foot of the cliff.
He said: "We had a ladder on standby and rescue techniques ready should he have fallen into the water.
"It was a quick and successful recovery and all the emergency services worked together."
The boy was checked over by a ambulance staff but suffered no injuries.
Network Rail also placed restrictions on a nearby railway track to allow the coastguard to make the rescue.
