The annual two-day Symposium, a leading educational and networking event for asset management professionals, kicks off in Louisville, Ky. on Oct. 30, 2012
The Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) will take on three important issues in the future of asset management during its Asset Management Symposium: telematics, finance and Tier 4. The annual two-day Symposium, a leading educational and networking event for asset management professionals, kicks off in Louisville, Ky. on Oct. 30, 2012. General information and details on seminars and speakers are available at aemp.org/symposium.
On the first day of the Symposium, Bill Sauber, manager, remote technologies at Volvo and member of the AEMP Telematics Committee will introduce attendees to the basic concept and history of telematics, as well as the AEMP-led Telematic Standard.

Experienced fleet managers John Meese, senior director, heavy equipment for Waste Management, Inc., Kerry Sudrla, corporate equipment operations and technical manager at Kiewit Corporation, and Chris Harrell, GPS and telematics manager at Granite Contracting will speak about practical strategies for integrating telematics into a fleet.
The second and final seminar of day one will shift focus to another crucial concept, finance. Attendees will hear from Rob Blackadar, VP of national accounts at Ritchie Bros., and Jeff Jeter, President, Americas, of IronPlanet, on used equipment values. Immediately following, Brett Hoffman, senior appraiser at JJ Kane Appraisal will provide insight into equipment appraisals.
Immediately following the seminar, Peter Gregory, SVP, National Accounts from Wells Fargo Equipment Finance along with Brad Coverdale, director product support, Sunbelt Rentals and Gregg Nierenberg, vice-president of fleet operations for Hertz, will lead a panel discussion on the pros and cons of renting, leasing or buying equipment, and the bottom-line impacts of each option. These experienced industry veterans will bring a diverse and broad perspective regarding the evaluation process.
Highlighting this year's Symposium is Peter Blake, CEO of Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. Blake will deliver his keynote address on how the shifting business climate has changed the way companies view equipment investments during the Tuesday evening reception and dinner. An expert in the industry, Blake joined Ritchie Bros. in 1991 as a controller. He received several promotions throughout the years, and was elected to the board of directors in 1997. He became the CEO in 2004.
The Symposium's second day will center on one of the leading topics affecting the industry, Tier 4. Attendees will gain a thorough understanding of how Tier 4 affects the dealer and what it means for the end user. Experts leading this discussion include Todd Coffey, corporate services manager for Brandeis Machinery & Supply, Eric Matthewson, project manager and Tier 4 dealer readiness expert for Caterpillar, and Bill Pyles, VP of service for Nortrax, Inc.

Serbian defender Milan Vilotic is being monitored by Italian clubs Inter Milan and Lazio but will stay put in this month's transfer window, says his agent.
Calasan does not expect the 26-year-old, who is contracted at Grasshopper until 2015, to leave this month but feels he is destined to eventually join "one of the biggest clubs in Europe".
He told Sport: "I can confirm that people from Inter and Lazio contacted me and asked me about Milan. But we can only talk about a transfer at the end of the season because Vilotic is staying at Grasshopper until summer.
"His contract runs for another two years and besides that he wants to win championship with his club.

Video: How Do Astronauts Wash Their Hands in Space?
- By Mark Micheli

Hate getting ready for work in the morning? Try doing it in space.
As earthlings, our everyday tasks usually require little thought or creativity. Not so if you're an astronaut. Sans gravity, many of your most mundane routines suddenly become major engineering challenges.
Take, for instance, washing your hands. International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency recently took questions from students, including one that was curious about how astronauts manage to keep clean in space:

Besides looks, is there a reason you want to do this?
OK, does anyone with a Glock use a butt plug to fill in the hole on the bottom of the butt? I know, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean. If so, what is a good recommendation for one that snaps in place using the lanyard hole, is flush with the bottom, and doesn't fall out while shooting at the range. I am looking for one for a G19. Thanks for any info.
Besides looks, is there a reason you want to do this?
I hope this doesn't turn in to a Plug vs. Bead poll.......
I don't use one BTW. I heard they have a tendency of falling out.
I use one in my G19 and I haven't had any issues with it falling out what so ever. Its in there quite well.
Man, this whole thread sounds so bad.
I could have called it a stock plug, but look at all the fun you'd miss!
One could argue that if for some reason the mag was stuck in the well, it would be easier to remove without the plug there. Some say it keep's dirt from getting into the grip, but I don't see where it would go once it's in there. Then I have also heard that if you were to submerge the gun in water it would drain better without the plug.
I have no idea what brand it is, its just the one my LGS happened to have when I bought the gun. I figured it would keep any junk from getting up there, giving me one less place to clean.
I would imagine as long as the one your looking at has a button that will push into the hole on the back of the grip, it should stay in fine.
Here's one similar to the one i have:
I have installed a butt plug in all of my Glocks. Just a thing with me.
I just re-certified as a Glock Armorer. Glock does not recommend the plugs. Their opinion is that it may trap debris inside the fire-control assembly. They would prefer that debris flow freely out of the gun.
I don't use grip plugs except on my G34 competition gun. On my G19 and G26, I do not use grip plugs and DO NOT RECOMMEND them if you're gonna carry the gun. For the simple reason if you are in a gunfight and you want to reload or it jams, you will likely have to rip the magazine out of there. It may not drop free. IF you have the grip plug inserted it's much hard to get your weak hand thumb on the back of the magazine to rip it out easier.
With the grip plug out of there, it's much easier to yank out the magazine. I've had this happen in a shooting competition match while shooting my G19. It could get you killed by costing your precious seconds if you have to reload or get a jam.
i have them in both my glock 17 and 19, but reconsidering after reading this thread....
I have Jentra plugs in my 19 & 23 and have shot thousands of rounds through them with no prolems, have never had a mag stick even after inserting dirty ones at the range. I've removed them occassionally and saw no build up. The plug on my 26 does occasionally work loose because there is no lanyard hole to lock it in, its just pressure fit. When customizers do the 1911 grip cut down they fill that area with epoxy then grind it to shape, so filling it with a plug has no negative effect. It just improves the looks..
When I had a Glock 21 I never once even considered it, if it was supposed to be there Glock would've put it there.
If you have large hands and shoot the shorter gripped Glocks there is quite a difference in the feel of the grips without the plug vs. with the plug. Much more comfortable with the plug installed. I have a G30 and the gun is way more shootable with the plug installed. On the full sized Glocks it's not noticable if not there. At times I use the G21 mags with adapter sleeves and the plug must be removed using this setup and if I then use a 10 rd mag without the plug I can tell immediately.
The thing is that you really don't need a plug for that hole. The reason the hole is there is to accomodate the molding process and reduce material used. The plug is just some guys attempt to create a need for it but you really don't need it. Save your money for ammo.

EAST MADISON — Eight little pigs now reside at the Somerset County Jail.
Steven Booker, an inmate at the Somerset County Jail in Skowhegan, tends to the pigs Thursday at the jail. The pigs will be raised for food and also offer an avenue for inmates to work outside and gain a new skill.
Staff photo by Michael G. Seamans
Tucked in a shed on open land behind the jail, the Yorkshire pigs will be raised through the summer to help feed the estimated 165 inmates next winter.
"The idea has been brewing for awhile," Chief Deputy Dale Lancaster said. "We're always looking at ways to reduce costs."
Lancaster said corrections Officer Ryan Moore came up with the idea that would provide meat for the jail population while offering some vocational training and outdoor activity for inmates to discourage recidivism. Four or five inmates will be involved in the program once the pigs start maturing.
Inmate Steve Booker, 27, of Skowhegan said he works about two hours a day feeding and watering the pigs and freshening their bedding.
"Every other day I try to give them a little milk," he said. "It's really enjoyable; it gets me out of the cell. I always have a security escort with me. Every day I try to fluff the bedding of hay so they can root in it and stay warm."
The pigs are fed cow's milk and leftovers from the jail's mess hall mixed with corn silage from the Williams farm in Anson, Moore said. Hay for the bedding comes from a farm on East Madison Road across from the jail.
"The cow's milk really packs on the weight," Moore said. "Grain isn't necessary; we're grinding all this for hamburger. We're not making ham, we're not making pork chops."
The 12-by-8-foot pig pen itself is a mobile unit built by inmates using a "pig tractor" model from the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. The pen will be moved from spot to spot, allowing the swine to turn over the soil underneath with their powerful snouts while fertilizing the land at the same time.
"We want to work at enriching the land that's down back, so that at some point we can expand on our garden and put the minerals back into the land," Lancaster said. "If we can do farming organically, everyone is better off."
Inmates started a 2-acre garden in 2010 to help supplement the jail's $260,000 food budget. That year they raised about 1,500 pounds of potatoes along with onions, beans and peppers. The garden since has expanded to about 5 acres.
Lancaster said the pigs will be raised to a weight of 250-300 pounds and then butchered in the fall, strictly for bulk sausage.

Did it always do this, or have things changed recently? If it's always been marginal...it may be time for a new toilet!
There are things that can get caught in the trap of a toilet that a snake will just pass by, so there could be a comb, pencil, pen, toy,etc. trapped in there. If the water level is not proper, it won't flush well. If it has clogged rim holes, it won't clean the bowl or flush properly (a metal coat hanger can ream them out). If the siphon jet (if it has one, not all do) is clogged, it won't flush well. So, it's hard to say without being there.
If you hold the handle down to empty the tank, does it flush any better? Have you changed the flapper valve recently? It may not be the right one, and is closing too soon.

Simply the Best – I'm local and go there regularly. Been through the menu and it's all good. No losers in there at all.
My favorites: Chile Verde and the Los Portales Dinner when I can't make up my mind.
The salsa is OK but would be great w/o the cilantro and the chips great.
It does get crowded but I'm happy with that. They'll be there next week.
Authentic ? Delicious ? Love it!!! – Since moving to Baltimore, I've missed the authentic Mexican food we could get in North Carolina (yes, in NC!). But, Los Portales is by far the best around. I love the cheese dip! And they serve REAL fajitas... not those knockoffs that are served elsewhere when they just lay the chicken breast on top of some peppers and onions. I love the beans! I love the salsa! I LOVE THIS PLACE. Most importantly, they are affordable!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Authentic Mexican cuisine served in generous portions keep locals coming back to the strip mall eatery.
Best Mexican Restaurant in Maryland! – Authentic and delicious! We travel an hour to dine here and it's worth it! Everything on the menu is tasty especially the authentic rice and refried beans! The Chimis are incredible!
Best Mexican Restaurant in Anne Arundel County – Love the food, atmosphere, service......a wonderful Mexican Restaurant. We have taken friends there and have recommended it to people and they all love it! They have great Margaritas also!
User review by estrellass – the staff are not to friendly,it's a mexican place and they don't want to speak spanish.
Best Authentic in the area – Los Portales is a wonderful place to eat - the atmosphere, food, and staff are all much above average. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves Mexican food!

CD-R driveShort for Compact Disk-Recordable drive, a type of disk drive that can create CD-ROMs and audio CDs. This allows users to "master" a CD-ROM or audio CD for publishing. Until recently, CD-R drives were quite expensive, but prices have dropped dramatically.
A feature of many CD-R drives, called multisession recording, enables you to keep adding data to a CD-ROM over time. This is extremely important if you want to use the CD-R drive to create backup CD-ROMs.
To create CD-ROMs and audio CDs, you'll need not only a CD-R drive, but also a CD-R software package. Often, it is the software package, not the drive itself, that determines how easy or difficult it is to create CD-ROMs.
CD-R drives can also read CD-ROMs and play audio CDs.

I've fielded multiple requests from users complaining about address location, or address not found. Two addresses for which I've updated the location in Waze still don't show the correct location, and both of them fail for bing and Google search results (Waze 3) even though both of those providers websites find the addresses just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this or have examples?
My two are:
14645 SW Davis Rd, Beaverton, OR (Waze address isn't even on Davis Rd, though I've set it in the House numbers layer; Google and bing = no results)
1325 Inglewood Ave, Eugene, OR (Waze address is updated and appears correct now, it was off by only one house; Google and bing = no results)

The euro rose on a strong German Ifo business sentiment reading only to be knocked lower by ECB Draghi's hammer, which took the form of a warning that a worsening inflation outlook would be a trigger for QE. EUR-USD dropped back to near net unchanged levels around 1.3820 after peaking at 1.3343 in the immediate wake of the Ifo release. Elsewhere, USD-JPY continued to oscillate around 102.50, and sterling failed to react to a stronger than expected CBI ... Read More ►

It has been a quiet session in pre-European Asian trade, partly due to Australian and New Zealand being closed for the ANZAC Day public holiday. USD-JPY continued to gently oscillate in the low-to-mid 102s, EUR-USD flat-lined around 1.3830-35, and AUD-USD edged modestly higher, to the 0.9275-80 area. Japan's March CPI data had little bearing on markets, coming in at 1.6% y/y, matching the median forecast. Read More ►

SCOOTER - The Big Mash Up
SCOOTER took the world by storm in 2008, conquering all before them – not only in Germany, but also in the UK, where they swept the competition aside on their way to the top of the charts. International superstars most definitely sat up and took notice - SCOOTER were officially number one in the motherland of pop, a just reward for the band's unflinching graft and sticking to their own guns for all these years. To list their countless successes would take up more space than most artists need for their entire biography. Over 25 million sales and more than 80 gold and platinum awards all over the globe underline their extra-special status. SCOOTER are a rare phenomenon, staying at the top for well over a decade without losing their golden touch, their energy levels as high as the day they started! Always ready to think outside the box, they have even crossed musical boundaries to collaborate with legends like Status Quo.
Scooter are one of a very few German acts to have shaped the musical landscape at home and abroad for more than a decade, without losing any of their energy or freshness. You either love Scooter or you hate them – either way, their style is the antithesis of boring! Scooter founding members H.P. Baxxter, Rick J. Jordan, Michael Simon and Jens Thele, have turned that name into a worldwide phenomenon.
Let`s take a closer look at this phenomenon:
Back in 1994 the worldwide party nation was celebrating rave culture in the underground as new techno clubs sprung up everywhere, whilst the charts were dominated by mindnumbing Euro dance and mainstream singles.
At that time, "Hyper Hyper" could not be considered a commercial track by any stretch of the imagination, and yet Scooter took the charts by storm, launching techno into the overground overnight. Eight years of graft with "Celebrate The Nun" and other projects and remixes were finally about to pay off.
Songs like "Move Your Ass", "Friends", "Endless Summer" and "Back In The UK" proved beyond all doubt that Scooter were more than just another "one hit wonder" of the early 90s.
"How Much Is The Fish?", "Maria (I Like It Loud)", "Nessaja", "One (Always Hardcore)", "Weekend", "Jumping All Over The World" and "Jump That Rock" to name just a few, continued the hit tradition of this remarkable formation. Many an interview begins with sheer wonder at the longevity of the band's career, coupled with the question: "what is the secret of the group's success?"
"Find out what you are unable to do and then go and do it!" is one of H.P.'s favourite quotes, which has become something of a mission statement for the combo. "You can't afford to lose your curiosity or a certain healthy naivety, otherwise you might as well pack it in on the spot. If the element of fun is gone, it doesn't make much sense. And you need to stay credible. We do everything by ourselves in the studio and our fans respect that." Baxxter's fondness for unconventional methods can drive his colleagues to distraction, however.
"He comes up with the maddest ideas and then we have to see how we can build a song together" is how Rick J. Jordan describes their way of working, a twinkle in his eye. "But that's why I love him, it's a real inspiration and you can be sure there's something worthwhile in there, once you get used to his style." His lyrics may, at first glance, focus on whipping up the crowd into a frenzy, enacting battles with imaginary M.C.s (and winning), embracing the "Scooter phenomenon", but H.P. has come to delight in sprinkling literary references and hidden messages among the more apparently simplistic shouts ("Respect to the man in the icecream van", by way of example, is a tribute to The KLF). Baxxter is Scooter's enfant terrible, and has been the focal point of the band, in terms of sound as well as vision, over the past 13 years.
Keyboard player and sound engineer Rick J. Jordan is, in contrast, the calming influence of the team. Explaining how they work in the studio, Jordan notes "I try to sort the creative chaos and add in my own ideas into the production process". Responsible for sound design and audio engineering, he is also the team's "musician" with over 30 years of experience with piano and keyboards and a knowledge of classical music theory to back it up. He has even created a virtual symphony orchestra and has enthusiastically paved the way for Scooter's excursions into musical genres as diverse as rock, classical and Celtic folklore.
The third founder member of the band, Jens Thele, is more in the background, taking care of the group's business affairs. As the mastermind and managing director of KONTOR Records, he introduces Scooter to the international market and brings his visionary expertise in marketing and concepts on board. It did not take the newest member, Michael Simon, long to spot this: "When Jens joins us in the studio towards the end of the production phase, his input is absolutely invaluable, both in terms of his A&R talent and his years of Djing. He can add that extra special something, an unexpected idea or suggestion how to improve a track. You really notice that music is an important part of his life".
Michael has come in to replace Jay Frog, who left the band halfway through 2006. One of Hamburg's most renowned house DJs, Michael is no stranger to the group, nor to their faithful followers. Back in 1997 he went on tour as support act for Scooter with his "Shahin & Simon" project, and he has remixed Scooter tracks, as well as releasing productions on Kontor Records. With a diverse musical background, covering house, techno and hardtrance on the one hand, plus HipHop and R´n´B on the other, it did not take long for him to find his way into the Scooter project, proving to be a born programmer of beats. His boundless enthusiasm for what's going down in the clubs means he can always bring the newest sounds into the studio.
Live and Direct
Scooter's working ethic is marked by clear synergy and impressive results. Beyond this, what also makes Scooter what it is, is their live performance.
The live show is probably the area of operations in which they truly demolish any preconceptions or clichés about dance music. The stage show is a potent cocktail of punk, rock´n´roll and quite deliberate delusions of grandeur. "We believe in the bigger picture, spectacular stage sets and theatrical effects. I think we would really miss the fireworks and lightning flashes if we didn't use them" admits Jordan. "Even our warm-up backstage has become something of an institution in its own right, I wouldn't swap it for anything.."
A souped up 3000 watt "ghettoblaster", a full-on sound system backstage, various trance- and house mixes, not forgetting one or two long drinks, all go to make the Scooter pre-show ritual what it is. In the hour before the curtain goes up, Scooter focus all their energy on this point in the day.
"On the afternoon before a show, i often get engulfed by a sense of lethargy, as if I could never get up on stage ever again. Ten minutes before the show starts, I'll be running round in circles, that's how nervous I get. I mean, you never really know – is it going to work or not? Then, when it begins, you just give it your absolute all. I guess that's my own personal rhythm." A true "night owl", if Baxxter is asked to do an interview before midday, then that counts as the middle of the night for him. "I love the mix of studio work and playing live, it's certainly never dull. In fact, it's always exciting."
46 singles, 15 studio albums and no end in sight
Just how do Scooter manage to keep coming up with new ideas, re-inventing themselves after so many years of single and album releases? It's a question which pops up time and time again. The answer? Simple. Hard work!
"The closing phase of an album production can often lead to us spending over 12 hours a day in the studio. A song needs time to develop, ideas need time to mature" Michael points out. He has quickly come to learn that other engagements such as festivals or promotional dates can interrupt the creative flow. "If you have been out of the studio for a while, on tour, doing interviews, or even just on holiday, you can easily get the feeling that you have to start from scratch, as if you've forgotten everything you've learned", H.P. Baxxter observes. These are the common hurdles in the production process. "Of course, at the same time, it's a chance to develop artistically, to try out new things".
The band's penchant for quoting other musical sources is, on occasion, a bone of contention. Whereas sampling is an accepted phenomenon in Hip-Hop, the use of song fragments or samples in techno and dance music is still frowned upon by some.
Not that this has unduly concerned Scooter. They have stuck to their guns and have never been afraid to dip into other styles or musical currents to enhance their own creations. "Strictly speaking, classical luminaries such as Karajan, Callas and Pavarotti all base their art on interpretations of existing works, without having surrendered anything of their brilliance or individuality" notes Rick, with a hint of irony.
"Sometimes that's what makes our songs so special – the confrontation of new and old."
David Doesn't Eat - The Big Mash Up
Carried by the live-spirit of the phenomenal Hamburg stadium concert
"TheStadium Techno Inferno", the brand new studio album "The Big Mash
Up" will be released on 14.10.2011. The name says it all and the album comes up with everything, Scooter are
well known for. Peppered with many potential chart hits, H.P. Baxxter and his colleagues Rick
J. Jordan and Michael Simon managed to trim their 16th Studio album perfectly
on the very own scooter formula for success. "The Big Mash Up" fulfills all needs and was released therefore in
three versions. In addition to the standard version, the fans can look forward to the Limited
Edition, which contains an additional DVD with the impressive show in the
HSV-Arena, as well as to another CD with a phenomenal Scooter Megamix of all
singles. As a Special Fan Item the strictly limited deluxe fan box was released
and it contains, next to the autograph cards - which is hand-signed by all band
members, a chain of HP Baxxter and a wonderful band poster. "David Does not Eat" is the first single, and thus the figurehead for
the contemporaneous released new Scooter album
"The Big Mash Up".

The Marriott hotel will create some 200 jobs and is scheduled to open in early 2015, officials said. It will feature 175 rooms and will be located in the Turgeau area of Port-au-Prince.
The hotel is one of several planned for the capital and surrounding areas as Haiti tries to recover from a devastating 2010 earthquake that officials say killed 300,000 people.
"This is a huge vote of confidence in the future of Haiti," Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said at the groundbreaking ceremony.
Officials said the Marriott hotel will feature a large ballroom that can sit up to 500 people.
"Not only will this be a solution to the lodging issues in the city, it will also create jobs, attract foreign visitors and communicate a positive outlook for the future of Haiti," said Denis O'Brien, chairman of Digicel Group, an investor in the project.
Arne Sorenson, president and CEO of Marriott International, said the company also is working with Haiti's tourism and education officials to improve hospitality training.
"We believe we can make a difference in Haiti by creating jobs and developing the human talent that can help lift this country over time back to its rightful place as one of the top destinations in the Caribbean," he said.
The hotel, along with others that are still in planning stages, are not targeting tourists but rather contractors, foreign aid workers and diplomats. Many have struggled to find accommodations, with nearly 850 hotel rooms destroyed in the earthquake.

There's nothing inappropriate about riser clamps on PVC.
I just cut the last bit of CI out of my 4 inch stack, replacing it with PVC joined with Fernco sleeves. Now there is a bit of wobble that wasn't present when the CI was locked with riser clamps. I haven't yet connected branch lines to the stack and I expect that these will reduce the wobble. But until then is there some way of clamping/securing the PVC stack? I assume that the iron riser clamps are inappropriate.
There's nothing inappropriate about riser clamps on PVC.
One thing that may be part of the problem is the "Fernco sleeves" you used to connect the PVC. Typically, the term "sleeves" implies the neoprene sleeves that are clamped on each end with a hose clamp. These sleeves are not code for above ground use for the very problem you are having. They do not provide a ridged connection. The proper sleeved connectors are called "banded couplers" which have a solid clamp the full length of the sleeve. By the way, "Fernco" is a brand name and applies to all sorts of connectors made by Fernco. All of that said, you still should use riser clamps to firm up the pipes.
Now you know why "Fernco" sleeves are NOT allowed inside the building, either under the floor or above it. Use ProFlex, (not No-Hub couplings), or similar "banded" couplings and the riser will be rigid.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Thanks for all the replies. I will replace the flexible (that's the problem!) couplings with the rigid banded couplings. I looked at both at HD, and it seemed to me that the flexible couplings, with 4 inches top to bottom had more bearing surface than the the banded couplings. I need to go to a real plumbers's supply.
So it's OK to use iron rider clamps? There is no danger of over-tightening and shattering the PVC?
The clamp only needs to be tight enough to hold the stack. If you don't over-tighten it, there is no danger.
The rubber couplings only "bearing surface" is the area UNDER the clamps, which is relatively small. You could use a 2" long hose and get the same "bearing surface" and maybe more rigidity because of less area to "flex". Do not use N0-Hub couplings because the PVC pipe is slightly larger and the couplings have to "distort" to stretch over it. Use couplings specified for, made to, the size of the PVC.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Thanks to all who responded. I did what you said - proper Fernco shielded fitting, gently tightened riser clamp and now everything seems nice and rigid.
