|Topic Review (Newest First)
|against all odds
Are there reasons why a person(s) from a company can't live--and work in China to oversee the quality output of the product(s) being produced?
.17 cents an hour vs. $24/hr to produce a product is too hard to ignore and it's understandable why a company may choose this route.
This way the company still produces a quality product, while saving enormously on production costs, and the managers still make over 100,000 while doing very little actual work.
Why isn't this happening?
I'm not sure if this is already posted-I didn't read all 12 pages-but this is off Eaton's website. y question is "ate all those little American flag stickers made in the USA,too?
Product Disclosure Form
To compare "apples to apples" on where a product is made can be very challenging. We have attached a Product Disclosure Form that you can print off and take to your air compressor providers to have them complete so you will know where the product and its components are manufactured. Just because you see the American Flag sticker on the front of the unit does not mean it was actually made in the USA. There are many factors that you need to be aware of before purchasing a unit. 1. Where the parts were manufactured? 2. Warranty? 3. What are the replacement parts going to cost for the unit you are purchasing? We have seen 5 HP compressor pumps that are over $1,000.00 for a rebuild kit. We use international compressor pumps built in one of our own factories. This is why you see "EATON" in our castings. One out of every 100 compressors is built in the USA. We strive to give Americans jobs (the majority of our piston-type unit's components are made here in the USA) but have to also keep PREMIUM quality at a reasonable price with a 5-YEAR BUMPER-TO BUMPER Warranty on all parts - NOT PRO-RATED!!! Our quality and price is the best on the market. Our goal is to beat our competition name-brand and non-name brand. Have your compressor company complete this form and if you have any questions about what they have filled out on the form, you can call me personally.
Starting October 28th, 2008, We are putting an American flag sticker on the items that are made in the USA. For example, our tanks are made in the USA, So we have placed an American Flag Sticker on the tank that states this tank is manufactured in the USA. These stickers will be placed on every item that is made in the USA. This gives the consumer a clear direction when purchasing our compressor on how much of the complete unit is made in the USA.
I can only think of 2 companies that build compressors here in the USA.
Ultimately, we encourage our customers and potential customers to compare our product to any product in the industry. You the buyer, should know exactly what you are buying and from whom you are buying it from.
Sincere Regards,
Matt Cain
Eaton non USA
After serving 21 years in the Marines and belonging to the Carpenters Union for five years, everything I buy these days has to be " Made in the USA". Eaton don't like it and now he is starting a new company with a "silent partner" from China. Must have forgot he lives in the USA. Eaton or any of the other manufactures making things over seas have lost my business.
Can't speak for anyone else but I'm not too thrilled with my 5hp/60gal one stage from Eaton. I took delivery in December 2011 directly from Eaton and I'm on my fourth warranty pump already! Thats four pumps in 8 months!
The first pump had a valve stick which fried one of the three cylinders. Two pumps were pigs and took almost 10 minutes to pressurize from 0 to 135psi. The heads leaked no matter how tight the head bolts were on those two. Now I'm on pump number 4 and I've got about 6 good hours of use. No heads are leaking but it doesn't come up to pressure as fast as Eaton says it should. This pump does 0 to 135 in 5:45. Not the "just under 5 minutes" I was told.
When I called about pump number 2 leaking oil and air from all three heads Matt told me to give it a couple hundred hours of break-in-time and they should seal right up. Yeah, ok. So I called back later asked for the piston service and warranty manager whom immediately sent out the 3rd pump after I explained the problem. Did I mention I had to drill out bolt holes for the pump base to have fit the tank that was sent by Eaton in the first place.
You don't always get what you paid for. I will say that the replacement pumps were sent promptly. Although it doesn't make up for having to assemble and disasemble 4 freaking pumps when I dropped $1300 on something that I work on more than my projects!!!My head hurts now.
I have allways considered Eaton products to be a good product,because they were. Being made in america ,with good quality control, you could depend on what you were buying to be good quality.
Made in china is a drag, but if his products are still good quality , people will buy them , and thats the bottom line. Cain needs to take a chill pill before he has a coronary and takes a dirt nap because of all the stress.
I wonder if there has been anymore action tried by the Eaton company? I kinda get the feeling that Mr. Cain may have jumped in before contacting the PR dept, (or even the legal dept) and is now in HOLY S#!T mode. He is pretty much fighting a losing battle, IMHO, as this has been tried here twice before, and lost.
If it is still going forward, GOOOOO JON!!!! As you have shot down two previous attemts at this, may as well have another. You know, 2 more wins and you make "ace", lol!! Gonna have to paint some "kills" on the fender of your ride, lol!!
|I'm guessing that Eaton's PR department is out to lunch on this one. Going after a forum with a perfect track record defending frivolous lawsuits at the same time alienating a loyal membership of over 100,000 aftermarket automotive purchasers. Someone at Eaton is using their head for nothing more than a hat rack.
|Hey Eaton, good way to lose all my future business.
All I can say is you got balls! If it were me back in the Streetbeasts debacle, I would have folded like a house of cards. That was before my time here at Hotrodders, and now with Eaton, at least this time I can include myself as a contributor for your defense. Free Speech is worth defending.
Hot air from eaton
with all the hot air coming from Eaton maybe they can put their mouths on my air hose and give me some CFMs
I guess my Eaton compressor will be headed to the junk yard. I don't want anything to do with Communist threats. I had enough during the Cold War, but I can do this again if I had to.
|Sorry for the spelling "Warranty"
I'm in trouble
Check This out. As I discovered the 5 year "bumper to bumper" warrany is 2 years on motors and drives.
Exactly, oldred. For anyone who wants to know the geeky term for this, it's a classic example of what's called the Streisand Effect, where an attempt to remove something from the internet results in it being publicized even more.
In 10+ years of running this website, we've received numerous legal threats, pathetic attempts to bully us into takedown, and 3 lawsuits, and we've tangled with some big names, including: Coker Tire, The Learning Channel, Eaton Compressor, and Streetbeasts. Most have had their antics end up on the first page in Google, and we've never removed anything as a result of bullying, frivolous legal threat, or lawsuit. You'd think these guys would learn already.
|What's really funny is how his bullying has backfired on him! He threatens to sue in an apparent effort to keep us from discussing the FACT that those things are made in China and what happens? Do a Google search on "Eaton Compressor" and the 4th link down brings you here to this thread! Looks like a lot more became known about Eaton Compressors that just the fact they are made in China!

Samson, Chandar, other animals star in new 'Milwaukee County Zoo' book
Don't quiz me about the dates and names of leaders mentioned in 'Milwaukee County Zoo,' a new book in Arcadia Publishing's Images of America local history series. I'm too busy looking at photos of the animals.
Arcadia's local history books rise and fall on the merits of their photos. Happily, the photos in "Milwaukee County Zoo," obtained from both zoo and external sources, feature some of the zoo's most notable characters, including Samson the gorilla, Sultana the polar bear and Chandar the white tiger. Like other Arcadia books, the photos in "Milwaukee County Zoo" are all black and white, but that doesn't detract from their pleasure. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

^ where can I get it? Thanks!
^ where can I get it? Thanks!
Received my bottle of 100% PURE argan oil today. I'm tired of the build up caused by silicones from the usual moroccan/argan oil treatments (cough, organix & moroccanoil, cough). Let's see if there's a big difference. I'm trying to use more natural oils in my hair since I used a veggie dye. I've been reading up on alternative hair color boards and they have given me wonderful tips on keeping hair healthy. I used their tip of coating my hair and scalp with virgin coconut oil before bleaching and it worked wonders. I'm sold on coconut oil and olive oil treatments even though it strips a bit of color, my hair is in BETTER condition now compared to before I bleached it. They also highly recommend Joico K-Pak so I bought a tube of that.
Here's my 2 cents worth on the BB cream and TM(Tinited Moisturizer). Both are forms of foundation just in different formulas, finishes and coverage. TM is sheer coverage. Some can be used to build up to a "light" coverage.
A Complexion Corrector is new type of foundation/makeup that is looking to "correct" skin tone issues(even skin tone) and improve skin texture. Giorgio Armani's Maestro Fusion Makeup falls into this "new" category. I think this makeup is a game changer. It's different than any other makeup on the market. The oil fusion makeup just melts into the skin, feels light, looks natural. The makeup dispenses with a medicine dropper. It is applied by using a "drop by drop" method onto the finger tips or directly onto the face. You massage/blend the makeup into the skin in sweeping, outward motions. It's one of my favorite makeups and I have total of 9 foundations:
2- Bobbi Brown Foundations(Extra Repair & Skin) light to medium coverage - Both have SPF- Dewy to Natural Finishes and botantial extracts for skin nurturing. The Extra Repair contains Evening primose oil which does the following:
a) It can rejuvenate tired and aging skin
b) It can make tired eyes look fresher by rubbing a little under and around your eyes
c) It can be rubbed into your skin to remove redness and minor blemishes
d) It can help dry skin to feel suppler and younger
e) It can be massaged into dry skin to make it smoother and silkier
f) It can be used to reduce and remove fine wrinkles
g) It can be rubbed into your skin to help you feel rejuvenated and younger.
2- Nars Foundations(Pure Radiance Tinted Moisturizer & Sheer Glow) light to medium coverage - Dewy finishes
2 -Giorgio Armani(Luminous Silk and Maestro Fusion) light to medium coverage - Satin/Dewy to Natural
1 - Makeup Forever Foundation(Face & Body) sheer to light coverage - natural to dewy
1 - Fashion Fair (Compact Cream) offers light to medium coverage - satin finish
1 - Iman(Second to none stick foundation) light to medium coverage - satin finish
1- YSL Foundation(Le Teint Touche Eclat) light to medium coverage - dewy finish
Luckily I don't need full coverage foundation because I don't really like the finishes which are mostly matte. I like dewy, satin or natural finishes. Also, I have slightly dry to normal skin, mostly dry though. Most of my foundations are for dry or normal skin. I very rarely use oil free products with the exception of Nars Pure Radiance TM, in which I HAVE to use a primer and moisturizer underneath or my skin starts to feel a little dry or tight after 6 hours.

Darn, wanted to rep you for this info. Next time and thanks!
I only have one foundation and that's Bobbi Brown Moisture rich. I apply it with a damp sponge (but not that weird beauty thing, just regular drug store one) when I am in a wedding or a big event where I expect to be photographed. Otherwise it's just TM or these days, BB.

the armani foundation sort of disappears into the skin, i cant really explain it. i wanted to buy some but most of the colors were sold out. i dont like committing to a color unless i can try it in person. it might cost more than the average foundation but i think you would have the bottle for a very long time and so the cost would round out.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
True, mlp. Those things last. I don't even want to remember how old my bottle of the Bobbi Brown foundation is. But it's still good, not separated and goes on well, last I checked.

I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
oops, forgot to post a link, the argan oil I ordered. It's listed as 100% pure so I'm hoping it is! So I put some on my hair yesterday. The first coat left it feeling very soft and shiny so I got happy and put on another coat, that left it feeling and looking a bit greasy. Now it's morning and my hair has absorbed all of the oil and oh my goodness, it's amazingly silky, it's a silky as my 7 year old daughter's hair, maybe even softer!!! I can't stop touching it, lol. It feels so much better than how it felt with either the Organix or Moroccanoil. I feel stupid for paying $$ for the Moroccanoil now, but hey, I guess I had to try it, right?
I was really wanting to try this Bumble & Bumble oil but it has cones in it. Maybe I can recreate it somewhat by combining only the oils.
Last edited by myhoneyhoney; 01-17-2013 at 04:35 PM. Reason: review of product
I'm almost ordering a bottle of moroccan oil from ebay (it's just too outrageously expensive to buy here) and I keep hearing wonders about it.
My hair is currently blonde, which means is basically drinking the local concotions of argan oil along with alfaparf's Semi di Lino Cristal mask, and it's fine now, but I really want to go for the stronger stuff...
Tell us how it goes with it
Lead me not into temptation. I can find it, and eat it, all by myself.
Beepbeep, the oil is wonderful! I wrote about the results right above your post.
I currently have Joico K-Pak Reconstructor on my hair. I wanna see what all the hype is with this product! BTW my pink hair in natural light inside the car and indoors under the gym bathroom lights. I don't know if I can ever go back to "normal" colors again, this color is so much fun!
i really love the hair color on you, mhh. keep trying weird colors.i know one girl who keeps rotating from magenta to blue and she looks really great in both. i'd be sad if she ever went to back to blonde or brown.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
To be honest, mhh, I cringed at the idea of hot pink hair...but having seen your pictures, I love it. You certainly have the look to pull it off--I am reminded of an anime princess.
"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
Really cute hot pink hair, mhh. One of my former coworkers used to do a pink ombre look that always got attention. It was hot pink at the top, and as it descended to her ends it became a rich dark red/pink. I was always amazed that she did all the upkeep herself.
i couldnt carry it off but a few people seem to look really great that way
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Thank you, all, I'm really enjoying it. Honestly, I was a bit afraid so I made sure to have 2 boxes of black hair dye just in case, lol. I did hot pink highlights for a month before I dove into completely pink. The pink dye is a semi permanent veggie so it is fading with every wash. I plan on keeping it pink for a few months at least, I would love to keep it pink all spring and summer then maybe turn to a darker pink, maybe burgundy or deep purple magenta for fall and winter. I wish I can do blue but I would have to bleach my hair to almost white and that's just too damaging.
I did do the Joico K-Pak Reconstructor last night and like it. I'm not sure how much stronger my hair is because of it but it did make it feel a bit healthier at the very least. I know some say they have to repeat the treatment at least 2-3 times to really feel the benefit of the K-Pak so I'll wait and do another treatment in a week or two. It makes my hair smell like bananas!

She enjoys the change of pace from just making movies for the site she has. He will take photos and put them in her portfolio for her porn actress interviews!
This pretty Asian doll works in the adult shop in the mall. She has a big following of guys from the college who come down to see her when it is time to try out the new toys and lingerie. She is the live demo model there, so there are demonstrations a couple times a wee. While the shows are going on, the shop is loaded with college boys who enjoy watching her when she is masturbating with what ever new toy has become a part of her act for the moment. She also has videos that are for sale at random times. She is a popular gal and they all want to date her as well but, she has a boyfriend so all they can do is watch her!
Nana is known as the blowjob queen of the dorms. She is lovely and has a nice big set of tits that the whole school knows about. Even the younger ones enjoy looking at her so there are plenty of pictures around for the ones who aren´t old enough for her to date. She enjoys sucking cock and getting videos made as keepsakes when she is busy. She is going to school to be a nurse so she knows all the right spots to touch to increase her guy´s excitement even more. She is going to be a good nurse if she can keep her clothes on!
This video was handed to me with a laugh by my associate in the club. He said I will definitely find it very interesting to say the least! She is a horny housewife who likes sneaking out and making videos when her husband is out of town for business. She gets bored anbd he told her she can do what ever she wants to do when he isn´t home. I don´t think he told her she could fuck other guys just because she is bored though. She has a nice pussy and her guy really does a number on it when he is pounding her! Her husband hasn´t seen her little side adventures but she is getting popular, so it isnt going to be long before he does!
Naughty Asian model enjoys playing around when she is in the club at night. Her husband is always gone and she gets bored sitting at home . She comes to the casino for a for a while, and when she is bored with that, she is off for the floor show. Sometimes she is part of the floor show too if she has the time for it before having to meet her husband. When he is gone for a lengthy stay, she is on the stage in the adult theatre stirring up the guys with her excellent ass and sucking some strange cock while she is there. Her husband would definitely be shocked if he knew what she was doing when he went out of town!

My favorite Harriet Walter role is Harriet Vane in the Peter Wimsey series. Her voice was a little too high -- Harriet's supposed to have a "curious, deep voice" -- but other than that, she was perfect.

So I can't miss that episode naturally. How was she tempted? She must be a very big fan!
^ I loved her in Law & Order UK too -- I thought it was a great departure from the stock "tough and gritty" captain character we see so often in US police shows. (And I hope her Downton casting doesn't mean the end of that character or series.)
But she'll always be Harriet Vane to me.
Oh yes, Harriet Walter. A perfect chum for Lady Violet. Can't wait for Season 4!

And when tomorrow arrives, the RX-A820 is already prepared for 4K technology, providing 4K pass-through and upscaling for this video breakthrough, so the RX-A820 will be the backbone of your home theater system for years to come.
Get in the zone
The RX-A820 is a multi-tasking beast, with powered Zone 2, Party mode and Zone B dual HDMI outputs. The HDMI Zone B allows you to stream A/V content to a different room (same content as main room), while Zone 2 allows you to send separate audio to a different room, with a handy on/off switch right on the front panel. And Party Mode lets you, with the touch of a button, sends the same signal to all outputs, to make sure the party's rocking in every zone. Keep your zones straight with the RX-A820.
Networking — It's how you get things done
The RX-A820 provides a wide variety of network functions to access more sources, as well as provide easy operation. Connect to your PC for internet radio, and operate the RX-A820 via the WebBrowser Control. Or download the AV Controller App and use your smartphone or tablet as the controller. The RX-A820 supports Airplay (wireless network adapter not included), to allow streaming from all your Apple devices, including meta-data. And the front USB port lets you get hard-wired for streaming as well. And on the edge of networking, but essential to great sound, the calibration mic uses YPAO to calibrate audio for optimum sound at any of eight listening positions. The RX-A820 gives you multiple options for complete control.
Sound, Sound, Sound
We love the technology, but where the Yamaha RXA820 stands out is is with its sound. With 7 discrete 100W channels, you won't miss a nuance of the director's vision. And you have the option of adding 2 Additional Presence speakers for added depth in your 3D experience. Burr-Brown DACs for every channel makes sure your sound is clean, while low-jitter PLL circuitry optimizes sound imaging. Yamaha uses Cinema DSP 3D for HD Audio decoding, and provides 17 DSP programs for the best sound optimization. And when you want an un-filtered sound, there is Pure Direct for transparent, audiophile playback. The Yamaha RX-A820 A/V Receiver makes your movie experience memorable, with the technology to make sure you have that sound for years to come.

You make a good point! You should feel free to ask transporters for references, too! That seems only fair! I am like you - I can't imagine anyone putting these animals in harm's way, especially after putting in the effort, time and expense of transporting, but ugliness does rear its head up in all areas. You have every right to ask for a reference and if someone is insulted by that, then that would pt a red flag up for me!
We live on the north end of Houston, TX. If your transport came this way for any reason, perhaps we could help with a leg. And, yes, I am willing to give you references!

I used this facepaint for tiger stripes for my school's sporting events. It goes great on skin, easy to wash off, and best of all for me, since I paint up as a tiger, I have to have both orange and black facepaint. This black cream makeup goes great over orange facepaint, no mixing: just bold strong stripes. I highly recommend this item to anyone looking for black cream facepaint.

Global exam results for ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) reveal today that a record number of students around the world successfully completed their final exams in June 2013.
Over 195,000 candidates took almost 358,000 papers around the world, with an additional 55,000 students sitting computer based exams.
More than 7,700 students have completed all the exams needed for that aspect of their professional qualification. This is a further increase on the previous record numbers in December 2012, enabling these students to take the next step to ACCA membership on completion of their practical experience and ethics requirements.
Overall pass rates across the Skills module (F4 to F9) and all of the Professional level of the ACCA Qualification rose this session. Other than F4, Corporate and Business Law, results in the Skills module were particularly pleasing when compared to recent sessions. As a result, over 10,000 students become eligible at this session for ACCA's Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business on completion of their Professional Ethics module which is another step to membership.
The formats of P4 - Advanced Financial Management, and P5 - Advanced Performance Management, were changed this session to be identical in format to the P1 to P3 exams, giving five of ACCA's Professional level exams a detailed 50 mark case study. It was hoped that students would find the new format exams less time pressured, leading to improved results, although the exams remain as technically demanding. However, little change has been seen in the pass rates this session and ACCA will continue to promote supporting study materials and other underpinning resources to help students perform better in the future.
Additionally, a record number of almost 5,400 students transferred from the Foundations in Accountancy register to ACCA on completion of their Diploma in Accounting and Business exams or their Foundation Specialist exams.
Alan Hatfield, ACCA director - learning, said about the results: 'These are exacting and demanding exams that prove competency, knowledge and skills that are much in demand by employers. So we congratulate all those who have passed this last session's exams – they deserve a great deal of credit, particularly the 7,700 who have completed their final exams.'
Alan Hatfield concluded: 'Previous ACCA research shows that employers want to recruit finance professionals with a complete skills set – people with a breadth and depth of knowledge, who possess a full understanding of the finance chain. This is what the ACCA qualification provides – complete finance professionals.
'It's also pleasing to see that many students who have passed their final papers have also completed their practical experience requirements whilst studying for the exams. Practical experience is an important requirement of becoming an ACCA member, and we look forward to welcoming our new members soon.'
June 2013 session ACCA Qualification pass rates:
Paper F1, Accountant in Business, 72%
Paper F2, Management Accounting, 64%
Paper F3, Financial Accounting, 54%
Paper F4, Corporate and Business Law, 37%

The 2012-13 Tigers, the lowest-scoring team in the ACC, were just generally mediocre overall and got a little beaten up in ACC competition. They went 13-18 overall but 5-13 in the ACC. The bad news for them as well is that they'll be without two of their three leading scorers this season, Devin Booker and Milton Jennings. KJ McDaniels (10.9 PPG, 5.0 RPG) is the de facto big scorer now, with sophomore Jordan Roper (7.9 PPG) and sophomore Adonis Filer (6.3 PPG) behind. Those two are both guards, as are their two major recruits, so there's now an influx of guards on the roster. We'll see if Coach Brownell is able to turn that into a strength.
The Clemson Tigers operate under Coach Brad Brownell at the Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina. They last made the NCAA Tournament in 2011, beating Alabama-Birmingham before losing to West Virginia. That was the fourth of four straight Tournament appearance years although they did not win a game in any of the first three years. They endured a decade-long drought between Tournament appearances between 1998 and 2008 but could get back to the Big Dance soon. 15 Clemson players have gone on to the NBA including Tree Rollins, Horace Grant, Dale Davis, Elden Campbell, Larry Nance, and Trevor Booker.

Nostalgia Ain't What It Used to Be
September: A New Show by Laurel and Ewen
Ewen Wright and Laurel Butler
Will you ever look back on right now with longing? When Ewen Wright and Laurel Butler left Burque for San Francisco in 2011, the couple—longtime performance collaborators—found themselves unexpectedly thrown out of sync as they tried to stay afloat in the pricey, tech-obsessed city. "We both had jobs that put us in front of computers most of the day," says Wright, "and then had phones that we looked at on the way home, and then computers we could get in front of for the evening."
Their burgeoning disconnection ultimately led to a new act that incorporated dance, physical theater and poetic narrative into absurdist vignettes about memory and togetherness. "We began to imagine having a sense of nostalgia, in the future, for all of the things as they are now—smartphones, Facebook, Buzzfeed, apps, etc.," Wright says. September: A New Show by Laurel and Ewen captures real and imagined eras in a couple's lifespan, and "gluing it all together is the outline of a love story." The show comes to the Box (100 Gold SW) on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 10:30pm, and Sunday, Aug. 3, at 7:30pm. Get your $10 tickets at theboxabqtickets.com.

The Daily Word in Albuquerque, Burque and the Duke City
In recent, local developments:
Allegedly, a very drunk couple took a stroll with their children and a marijuana pipe. They were arrested.
A naked intruder was allegedly found sleeping in someone else's bed. He was arrested.
According to APD, a woman pulled a gun on a Comcast technician. She was arrested.
APD is getting rid of its Mine Resistant Ambush Protected armored vehicle.
The School of Rock will be housed in downtown Burque.
The Sunport was at the center of a copper theft ring.

The Daily Word in mole man invasions, pot blocking and lame witchcraft
Well, kids, let's see what's going on in the news today:
The city of Albuquerque has decided that supporters of a marijuana decriminalization measure need to have more signatures on their petition than the city had originally told them. OOPS. Too bad the deadline was Monday. And no, they don't get an extension.
Murderers of a retired educator in Chimayo claim to have held a 'witchcraft' ceremony after the killing. Which sounds super creepy, but apparently only involved "wrapping a ribbon in something and putting it in a baggie." I guess it's creepy if the 'something' was an eyeball. But way less creepy if the 'something' was a, I dunno, pencil. Basically, my feelings about this story are dependent on what got wrapped in a ribbon and then put into a baggie.
An Albuquerque man tried to stretch the family food budget by killing, then butchering the family dog. Which was a chihuahua, by the way, which could feed maybe one person? I don't think this guy thought things through.
And the Duke City is due to become the Cake City this weekend. Cake kind of sounds like Duke and it's the best I could come up with before my coffee hits bottom. Also, I'm still thinking about that witchcraft thing. And the pot thing. And the dog thing. Is there something wrong with the state this week?
A team of surgeons removed 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year old boy in India.
Two more mysterious holes leading to the blackest depths of the Earth have opened up in Siberia. Scientists think it's happening because of an eruption of gas, but the Internet thinks it's probably mole men.
And Harrison Ford's ankle injury is probably going to prevent puffins from having sex. Dammit, Harrison Ford. First Indy 4 and now this?
The Daily Word in bomb threats, no more square hamburgers in Russia and Presidential pants
Huning Highland shall not be home to a Subway.
The man who was subjected to an extensive and illegal cavity search courtesy of the Hidalgo County Sheriff's department details his story in a new interview.
Someone threatened to blow up the capital building in Santa Fe.
Dead Jackass star Ryan Dunn's photo wasn't supposed to be used in this story.
Behold the motorized sneaker/rocket roller skate thingees.
The time President Johnson ordered pants.

Calling all "Tapeheads" . . .
This fell into my lap off of craigslist this morning.
The original owner's father sent it to him in 1961 when he was in Taiwain.
One owner, Low miles, Sounds great; but I know NOTHING about R2R. I think this is a pretty basic unit, but will have some fun with it anyway.
First step; learning how to clean the tape heads (anhydrous alcohol and a Q-tip ???)
image below is from original owner's craigslist posting. I'll post better quality images soon.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Grant Fidelity W30 tube integrated amp. It has a tubed phono section, 24/192 DAC section, multiple analog inputs, headphone section, pre-in/out, volume control secondary output, remote control, and can run EL34, 6L6, or KT88 as output tubes. I currently have it being fed by my Squeezebox Touch through digital coax, Blu-ray player through Toslink, TV through analog in, and the W30 is powering the mid/high horns on my 3-way corner horns, while it's running out to a SS amp that is powering the woofers. Again, don't get me wrong as it's a great sounding set-up, but it does limit my flexibility a little in trying different amps. Even through the W30 does have an exterior in/out loop which means the unit can be used as a preamp, the output tubes are always on if the unit is on, thus you are reducing the life on your output tubes as well as needing a load on the amp to save the output transformers. It sound great as a preamp and I've used it many times for the role, but it is a hassle.
Ideally, I would be keeping my bi-amp set-up with tubes on the horns and SS on the woofers (thank you onebadchad as I'll be trying the EL84 amp in this roll), so I'm thinking it would benefit me to invest in a preamp with at least two outputs to continue my amplifier set-up, but the preamp would also need a 24/96 DAC section as I do not prefer the DAC in the Squeezebox Touch. I think I would also prefer a SS preamp that I can leave on all the time, although there are a few tubed units out there with long life design which may be an option; remote control would be a must. Can anyone recommend a good, but probably not over $2K (new or used) preamp with these features? I've seen tons of great preamp, but very few with DAC sections. DACs with volume control could also be an option, but I don't think most of the are designed to be used with the volume control (AKA sound quality degradation).
What can you suggest? I think a solid preamp with DAC section would allow me to swap amps in and out without changing the overall functionality and interface of the system; AKA WAUF.

Oh he was sooooo tiny! And indeed had a biellmann spin!!
Oh he was sooooo tiny! And indeed had a biellmann spin!!
I saw Han Yan at Junior Grand Prix Final last year - very impressive.
I think he will go farther than any previous Chinese male skater - has a musical sense as well as the technical skills
I didn't know he did Biellmann spin. It's beautiful.
In an interview after his FS at the 4CC, he said he would like to practice spins more. Can't expect bielmman position from him anymore but I'm sure he'll be a beautiful spinner.
Yes, he has everything. And someday he'll have it all!
Yes adore this. Very cute... I did speculate whether Hanyu would have kept his bielmman this time last year, and unsurprisingly he didn't. It is too difficult once you get to a certain age especially if you are a guy. I would love him to do the soundtrack to the life of Pi with a demeanor of play and adventure. Together with his thrilling jumps, it can be an amazing spectacle.
He's sooo cute. He already had so much speed at that age! BTW, is Han Yan competing in Senior Worlds?
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
Happy birthday, Han!
ton of roses!! (for his gala program maybe? )
I wonder when will team China depart for Canada. Fans are still not giving up their hopes...
Why did China not have Han Yan skate at Jr Worlds? WTF he medaled at 4CC but he's not good enough for Jr or Senior Worlds? China has a weird way of developing skaters.
Wow, he had such good edge quality at 9 years old! And the jumping technique! he's pretty good with music too. Really gifted! could be world champions before long.
Not that there is any surprise anymore, but yesterday at Weibo (Chinese twitter) he wished Li Zijun good luck at Worlds. Guess that means he isn't going to London...
^isn't he friends with Nan Song?
this whole situation was so bad managed by the chinese federation
FS: 3A hand, 4T3T, 4T fall, 3lz2t, 3f2t2lo, 3lo, 3lz, 3s
Nice try on 4T3T in domestic competitions
Here's his SP video (3A, 4T, 3Lz+2T, 81.44) from the same competition (posted in the Chinese national competitions thread in Kiss and Cry):

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
In LP YAN Han landed 4T-3T then fell on solo 4T.
Apparently the fall was bad enough that his weibo post claimed
"The fall killed me! I swear if another fall like that happens I'll walk off the ice."
ZHANG Dan: "Really?"
ZHU Qiuying: "...and Coach Jia will kick him back on ice."
Another weibo post:
"Competition over. Miserable fall and little meaningless (or bored?), but still got something... snatched the prizes!"
WANG Yi: "Brat, you just came to crash the party."
YAN Han: "Don't say it like that, I am also a part of it."
Disclaimer: liberal translation LOL
his jumps are huge, specially in length...
this program is really long, though and he doesn't seem to get into the music as the one in his sp. Still, I'm amazed by the flow and speed he has, so rare for a chinese skater
He reminds me of a young Yagudin
Some fans are trying to translate the magazine interview of Han into English.Here is the Q&A part by courtesy of iocy3347
Q: What's your favorite book or movie?
A: I prefer reading imagination books like "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Movies I like Jason Statham's "The Expendables", "Blitz" etc. He is very cool, and the action films are exciting.
Q: What's your favorite fashion brand? What do you usually wear?
A:I usually wear board shoes, jeans and shirts. Favorite brands are those I am able to afford, such as G-star and diesel.
Q: Do you like other sports other than skating and why?
A: I love badminton though do not play it often coz I'm afraid of injury, but I used to play a lot.
Q: How do you think you can improve yourself?
A: Execution and spin. I've got dancing class.
Q: What is your biggest challenge at the moment?
A:I guess it's to surpass myself. My biggest rival would be Hanyu? Just those Japanese skaters.(<----Han is not good at remembering names and it seemed Hanyu is his most familiar name)
Q: There is one year to go before the Sochi 2014 Olympics, what do you want to say to yourself this time next year?
A: When you are experiencing difficulty that is a chance to improve yourself. There is a saying "If you are exhausted that means you are walking uphill. I was encouraged like this, and I believe I will get good results if I keep doing this.
Q: If you did not choose figure skating, what profession would you likely to be?
A: Probably I'll become a student, and may have bad scores, haha.
Q: Who is your idol?
A: Plushenko, when I was a boy I had all his posters on the wall of my room. Now is Patrick Chan, but he's much like a goal.
Q: Are you feeling happy?
A: Very happy, I can do what I like everyday, I have my life goals, my grandparents are healthy, those make me happy.
Good luck to young Han Yan. It's good to have a goal and work towards it. You have the goods to make it. And I agree for those in their teens like yourself, Joshua, Brown, Gachinski, etc. Hanyu is a class by himself and the 'kid to beat' post Sochi.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
It seems that Han has a great sense of humor besides him having tons of potential as a skater. Wish him good luck for the coming season.Q: If you did not choose figure skating, what profession would you likely to be?
A: Probably I'll become a student, and may have bad scores, haha.

I will say that while I adore Johnny's skating and this is his first foray into the season, I am somewhat discouraged. I know, I know. It's still very early on and he will build on this.
However, a few things. While his trademark fluidity of movement above the blade is still present, it's present only some of the time. He is noticeably stiffer and less stretched out--his line suffers (it's still very good but not as good as before). I also find the fluidity of the blade itself not quite as "liquidy" as before. This will hopefully improve.
I love the FS music while it's Chopin but when it switches to that techno melodramatic Russian warhorse (did Irina skate to this or was it Leonova or both?) It makes me and .
The shaky jumps are self-evident and will likely improve. I hope to be able to form a better impression as the season progresses.


text: Wanda clearly said that, but that's not the same thing as making it clear. We have Predictamancers saying the opposite on at least two occasions and we have seen Wanda struggling to understand Predictamancy at least once, making her an unreliable source.

BLANDCorporatio wrote:I can't believe just how dynamic that ball o' blubber looks!
Awesome, and very good use of colours too.
Artists' trick: making static images look dynamic is surprisingly simple. All you have to do is draw someone/something in what is clearly not its resting state. Here's how it works:
1) People have a good sense of their own anatomy and how it works, and a well-founded suspicion that, like ourselves, most everything doesn't like to stay at rest in medias res.
1.1) As an object lesson, pick your favorite sport to play. Pick a motion you do all the time in that sport (you may want some space for that depending on the sport). (Hitting a serve in tennis or a baseball in ...baseball, shooting hoops, throwing a football, whatever tickles your fancy...) Now, halfway through that motion, stop dead. Hold that position.
1.2) Now, maybe some jacked guy in some branch of some Armed Forces could hold that for a very long time, but most of us can't. You know that. Artists know that. Artists know that you know that.
2) Like all Art, visual art ("Art") is about communicating ideas. If something in the art looks like or suggests an existing idea that someone already knows, they'll pick that up and associate the entire idea (and its anecdotal "thousand words") with the work. This is how the brain works all the time, Art simply capitalizes on it by grooming the artists to be able to pack lots of ideas in an eye-catching and appealing mixture. Technical drawing is probably the most bare-bones version of this, (and my retroactive excuse for defacing my all of my homework planners with my decreasingly inscrutable drawings of Halo and W40k and Star Wars).
3) Here's the trick, synthesized to the raw core of how it works. Know that people will empathize with the ideas displayed in the work, draw the subject in an active pose, just like someone stopped them in the middle of that sports move. People will understand the implication of motion from the empathy of knowing that there's pretty much no good reason to stop there or be stopped there. It just starts to hurt.
Now, this trick assumes a fair bit of technical skill and a good eye for what a body looks like contorted in various ways of your devising, so having a good subject (often oneself, but for the love of god don't try and figure out what a pose looks like in class. You're just asking for trouble.) is recommended. Now, if you want to show someone who for some reason is in that uncomfortable position, indicate small, rapid motions. Most positions where one isn't actively supported by something that isn't moving are an example of unstable equilibrium. Like a boat on the ocean, holding a static position is completely impractical; it's much easier to keep correcting back and forth around that position. Comic-book artists use little lines parallel to the object and perpendicular to its motion, evoking ripples on a pond, to demonstrate these small motions.

Feb. 7th article titled "Sandhu joyfully returns to competitive skating: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news
The warmth he felt from the audiences at the 2013 Canadian Championships deeply touched Sandhu.
"They embraced my return and my performances," he said. "I think they were reacting to my genuine enjoyment and love for the sport."
Now, Sandhu said he's considering a number of options: continuing to compete, pursuing show skating full out or becoming a coach and choreographer.
Whatever he chooses, he will pursue it with a sense of purpose, knowing that he can set a goal and follow through. He also proved to himself that he could compete under the IJS and still be himself.
"There's nothing worse than having an idea and having the regret of not following through with it," Sandhu said. "Whether I continue into the season next year or not, it will still hold me in good stead because I followed through with it."

I feel sorry for the baby.
Most babies look kind of like moles until a few months in.
I checked snopes. com but their server was down, so right now there is no way to find out if this story is true.
If it is true, how can a man sue a wife for birthing an ugly child, if he himself was the father? I am puzzled.
His argument seems to be that she misled him by not disclosing that her own appearance at the time he married her was a result of extensive cosmetic surgery and not just genetics.
Whether that's a valid cause for a lawsuit is a question for the courts, I guess.
If this man had a heart, he would have loved his child, regardless of anything else.
Add in the fact that this is China, and it was a girl child. He might have been slightly more accepting of a son. Either way, I think the wife and daughter are far better off without this jerk in their lives.
A friend recently set me up with a friend of hers, which turned out to be the ugliest man I have ever seen in my life. He was so perniciously ugly that I could not look him in the eye for fear of turning to stone.
Can I sue?
Not in America you can't...

A good rant is cathartic. Ranting is what keeps me sane. They always come from a different place. Take the prime minister, for example. Sometimes when I rant about him, I am angry; other times, I am just severely annoyed - it's an important distinction. - Rick Mercer
I guess I don't feel that sorry for the woman. She did marry him under false pretenses and obviously had all that work done in order to improve her chances of marrying someone who'd would only consider someone who looked like her new and improve self to be worthy of his hand.
I mean I'm not saying his behavior and attitude is at all acceptable. I also think the woman and baby is way better off without this jerk. That said, he's a superficial, shallow person and it's not as if those people don't exist in the world (especially in the U.S.).
Let's face it, people marry for all sorts of reasons, and people do consider people who they find physically attractive before even going on a date with someone much less procreating. He probably truly felt defrauded by the woman who he'd assume would pass on her "beautiful" genes to his offspring. But when her looks and physical features turned out to be the work of man rather than nature, he probably seriously felt like she sold him goods that she didn't advertise. Marriage deep-down is a contract when you get right down to it.
I also think it's a bit funny people are saying how this wouldn't fly in the U.S. or making all sorts of judgments about the Chinese courts for this decision when the U.S. is the most litigious society in the world at the moment and has seen its fair share of seemingly ridiculous or frivolous lawsuits. I'm not saying it would fly in the U.S., and there may be safeguards against these types of lawsuits, but I wouldn't be surprise if someone can successfully sue another for this sort of thing.

Let's face it, life is a lot easier if you are part of the "good looking" set. More than once I have been pasted up at retailers by sales people for service in favour of the pretty young thing that just walked in whie I had been patiently waiting my turn. There was a case in Thailand of a model who died because of an illegal plastic surgery procedure. Just saying that is the way of the world and I can understand the pressures that would drive some people to go to such extremes.

Jim Greer Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison
March 27, 2013 | WMFE- Former Florida Republican Party chair Jim Greer was sentenced to 18 months in prison Wednesday, after he admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the state G.O.P. He was also ordered to serve one year of probation. Outside the court, Greer's lawyer said his client fell on his sword for others in the party.

Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist appointed Greer to lead the state GOP in 2007. In February 2013 Greer pleaded guilty to five counts of theft and money laundering in a scheme to defraud the state GOP of more than 200-thousand dollars.

Thanks, good to know Montalbano/Krasnopolski are being allowed to compete at SA! (their GP debut)
It's too bad Kemp/King (GBR) are a late withdrawal from SA - I wonder if they will be able to compete next week at Skate Canada?
ETA that K/K are still listed for SC as of the latest ISU published update on Sept. 17. Vartmann/Van Cleave (GER) were crossed off the Rostelecom Cup pairs roster but they're still listed for NHK Trophy. Also, Zahorski/Miart were officially crossed off the TEB dance roster.

I'm so excited for them (M/K)! I hope I can stay awake late enough to watch their GP debut (I'm on the East Coast of the US, so they won't skate until around midnight for me!)

So no time for a replacement for the dance slot at Skate America I am guessing with the relatively late withdrawal of the Lithuanians?
Makes for small events when this happens. But I guess the smallest was Cup of Russia dance 2 years ago. I think by the time it got to Free Dance, there were only 4 teams left. 75% odds of making it on the podium! Only one flight of skaters.
I imagine M/K are firmly in the "happy to be there" group; anything but last would be an achievement. Good luck to them, though!
Haribobo, thanks for compiling the list.
It seems that Zhang/Wang are done as they haven't competed at any domestic Chinese competitions. Bakirova/Kamianchuk apparently are dunzo as well.
Thanks a lot for the info jjane45. So that confirms they are indeed done.
It's official : Wenjing SUI / Cong HAN were crossed off from NHK Trophy on the ISU site in today's update (Oct. 19) and they have been replaced by Wenting WANG / Yan ZHANG at Cup of China.
Wang/Zhang placed 4th (147.10) in Sr. Pairs at 2012 Chinese Nationals in Sept. 2011, according to Wikipedia (there are YouTube videos of them from that comp.).
ETA that Wang/Zhang placed 7th (47.52 + 98.01 = 145.53) in Sr. Pairs at the Chinese National Winter Games in Jan. 2012, according to the competition thread archived here at FSU. Their SP: http://youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=pKllaNiWz-4
Their most recent result (Chinese National Figure Skating Grand Prix, Sept. 20-21, 2012, Changchun, Jilin Province), as posted in the Chinese competitions thread in Kiss and Cry:
3rd place 王文婷/张岩哈冬训 126.56 3 3 Wenting Wang/Yan Zhang S4 (15/23)

Hopefully Della Monica/Guarise can get the NHK spot.
Well at least with the WD of S/H, Kexin and Han Yan being kept at juniors, lots of obscure chinese skaters are getting the opportunity to debut internationally and getting Season best scores.. Otherwise they would never stand a chance.
very sad, I think the late withdrawal was in a hope that Sui would be well by GP but It seems the 3-5 months off the ice will have to be observed
any chance of Martiusheva/Rogonov getting one of the open WD slots ?
1. I'd love to see Maritusheva/Rogonov get something.
2. There's a Wang/Zhang and a [former] Zhang/Wang? I need to follow Chinese pairs more closely.
But happy for WANG Yi and ZHANG Ying for getting COC
ZHANG Yan is skating with WANG Wenting and they were 4th at Chinese Nationals.
