During the averaging mode, the operation of the Single Start key differs from the usual operation.
- Exponential averaging: Operates in the same fashion as when the START/STOP key is pressed. The operation does not stop until the START/STOP key is pressed.
- Linear averaging: Stops after making measurements for the specified averaging count.

Only one person stands in his way: a lonely Englishwoman on an isolated island, who is coming to love the killer who has mysteriously entered her life.
This is Ken Follett's unsurpassed and unforgettable masterwork of suspense, intrigue, and dangerous machinations of the human heart.
©1978 Ken Follett; (P)1985 Brilliance Audio
"Sheer suspense." (Washington Post)
"Fans of old-time radio drama will particularly enjoy this full-cast version. Narrator Eric Lincoln proceeds smoothly, until the action starts cooking, and his urgency turns up the heat. The small ensemble creates a wide range of lead and supporting characters." (AudioFile)
"On the edge of my seat"
Eric Lincoln's narration was phenomenal. The female voices and accents of the various characters was superb. Follett's descriptive style was so vivid it left me breathless. It felt like I was reading a screenplay of a movie about Nazi espionage and I was part of the action. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to audio books. Thanks to the Audible sale, I stumbled upon a gem. I would pay full price for this fabulous audio book.
"Just OK by Follett Standards"
Based on comparisons to other Ken Follett novels, this one simply falls short.
Based on an overall comparison rating it is average to decent.
The audio production is not very good at all. The narrator is good (he starts off reading to fast, but later falls into step)...
BUT... the character voices are delivered by different readers, many of whom are NOT good at all (especially scenes that are supposedly live conversation in the same room - they sound like cutaways to a bathroom - ACTUALLY - SEPARATE bathrooms!!) The production person should be looking for a new job!
Anyway, if you're a Follett nut, save this one till last. It starts slow and the character development is very slow. The last two hours are typical Follett - good.
Read the others, they are better. The other two Follett WWII novels are much better, Hornet Flight (my favorite) and Jackdaws.
Slight thumbs up.. but only so slightly.
Don't you just love a great story well told?
"A Classic WWII Spy Thriller"
There's been some carping about a book that, apparently, has been updated. So if you only care for one voice, well, that's too bad. I prefer to here a real woman's voice even if it has been cut into the original narrator. The editing is SO well done (love the effect that makes sounds over phone & radio voices 'tinny').
It so fast paced, you'd never know it was done dubbed in as a 2nd release (If in fact that's true... I don't know.)
Also, I think the fact that Follett made the bad guy/spy a complete character, with somewhat conflicted emotions I'm sure might also bother those who suffered at the hands of the very evil Nazis. The antagonist isn't doing this out of fear for their families (however I am NO apologist for the Nazis) many regular Germans lived in fear of the war machine & SS if they didn't follow orders but the majority were simply turning blind eye to pure evil.
The spy in this book was in it for his Fatherland (never said in those words) BUT he is portrayed BRIEFLY as sympathetic when having doubts about some killing that needs doing.
I call that a REAL rounded character not the cardboard cutouts that pass for most Nazis in 98% of stories with that setting.
He's still pure evil.
Make no mistake this book is the first, and shows that Follett indeed has the talent that leads to his ongoing illustrious career.
So download this and hang on. I was on the edge of my ..uh.. earphones or speakers the entire ride. It is gripping Follett couldn't have picked a better secret to have on the line. Wow!
"Horrible narration"
I have no idea of the book is any good.... simply because there are so many people part of the narration (or at least it feels like they used a different person for every character)... the accents are so badly over the top.
And the audio sound is as if it was recorded through a can.
I was unable to listen to it for more then an hour.
"Exciting listen"
I didn't like this as much as some as Ken Follett's other books, but it was still very good. It took a few hours to get into, but once he built up the plot it moved along at a good pace. This is the first audio book that I've listened to that has multiple narrators to represent the different characters, and it was weird at first but then I got used to it. The main narrator was excellent.
glass lady
"Irritating narration"
I generally do not like a tag-team of narrators, so this did take a bit of adjustment. But beyond that, there are times where Lincoln seems to be just trying to get words out as fast as he can - as if that will heighten suspense. He reads in a monotone, which makes him sound bored with the story, even in the parts where he is speed-talking. The story is vintage Follett, so it is a pity that Brilliance did not use either a better or better-directed reader.
"Another Follett winner!"
An excellant Follett novel that I had a difficult time when I had to stop listening. The narrator, Eric Lincoln was very good and the supporting cast kept it interesting and more dramatic. Eye of the Needle is another Follett masterpiece that Follett fans will enjoy.
"Quintessential thriller"
Fast-paced and still fresh 30 years after publication. Excellent narration.
"Good, but not great"
I enjoyed this book with the different narrators, however I didn't think it came close to The Dangerous Fortune.

Hey Guys,
I'm using XBMC with the ForTheRecord PVR plugin and it's working great for the most part.
One thing that I notice is that the 'TV Recordings' area within the Live TV menu doesn't appear to refresh the recordings on a regular basis. Something like this happens:
1. Shows A, B, C exist in the TV Recordings
2. Show D records
3. TV Recordings still only has Shows A, B, C
4. I watch Show A, delete it
5. When Show A is deleted, the directory gets refreshed and Shows B, C, D now appear
Is there any way for me to manually refresh this directory? Is there a setting somewhere that will refresh it regularly for me? This is most important when I want to work around the lack of timeshifting support by starting a show recording, waiting a few minutes, then starting from TV Recordings.
Thanks again for all of the efforts on this!

Try hitting OK when the recordings menu item is selected in the fly-out menu on the left of the screen.

I think Fred (dev for the FTR XBMC plugin) was looking in to providing an option to update XBMC's library when a recording completes, the problem is while you can send a notification about the event there doesn't seem to be a built in way to do a library refresh for recordings like there is for the video/audio libraries. The PVR stuff is very much a work in progress so hopefully this will be rectified in coming months.

Flight Path: Round the World with Nailah Hayward!
Nailah is on her SECOND round the world trip! How did she do it? Where is she now? Check out our Flight Path interview with this globetrotter and Theres So Much To See blogger!
Where are you going on your trip? How did you decide where to go?
My trip began in Asia (Japan and S. Korea), moved to Australia, then the Middle East (Qatar, Turkey, UAE and Lebanon) then wrapping up in Europe (Cyprus, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, the UK, plus a bunch of countries I'm still deciding on). Initially the trip began with me just spending two months living in Beirut. I visited for the first time in 2010 for two weeks and knew that I wanted to return for a more significant amount of time. Then I realized I could probably get a flight that stopped in Turkey so I added that to the list. From there the trip just started snowballing as I added more stops. I practice the Brazilian Martial Art called Capoeira, so I added some stops like Hungary and Australia so I could attend events related to that sport. There were friends I hadn't seen in a while that I wanted to reconnect with (Switzerland, the Netherlands and Japan) plus I figured why not hit up the Olympics in London. People kept putting ideas in my head for places to visit and I just kept saying, "OK, let's do it"!
What is your mode of travel? Would you recommend it to other travelers?
Most times I'm hopping on a plane because my destinations are quite spread out. But once I get to Europe, I am going to incorporate train travel as well. When compared to the European discount airlines, I'm not sure train travel is any cheaper, but at least you get to see more of the countryside from a train and you normally end up right in the middle of the city when you arrive rather than at a far flung airport. For my plane tickets I bought a Round The World ticket with Airtreks. I had a good experience working with them and would recommend them to anyone who's planning a similar trip. Where are you staying? (Hotels, Hostels, etc). Would you recommend it to others? I am all over the place when it comes to accommodations. I've stayed in hostels, boutique hotels and luxury properties. I've tried AirBnB, CouchSurfing (unsuccessfully) and here in Beirut I'm renting rooms in apartments which I found via the 'Apartments in Beirut' Facebook group. When I go to cities where I have friends, I often stay with them. I personally haven't had much luck with CouchSurfing, but I've heard from many people who swear by it. I liked the experience with Air BnB in Seoul and will try them again in other cities. Of course, if you can swing it, a 5-Star property is the way to go. And although I'm not a huge fan of big hostel dorm rooms, I've stayed in some decent ones (Jam Hostel in Kyoto and #bunk hostel in Istanbul come to mind) and they are always a great way to meet fellow travelers if you're going solo.
You've been on this epic trip, how did you make the decision to do it? What was the reaction of family and friends?
I am one of those people who is always planning my next trip. For the last few years, that trip has been limited to about 2 weeks due to work responsibilities, but last year I got the idea in my head that I needed more. Not just to have a longer vacation, but to make a big change. On a whim, I attended Chris Guillebeau's World Domination Summit in Portland last summer. Being surrounded by so many people who have become successful NOT doing the standard 9-5 made me realize that I had a choice in life. I could stay at a job that I complained about daily or I could make a significant change to the way I was living. The original intent was to request a leave of absence from work for 6 months and then return if I didn't find another path, but when that leave request was denied, I knew I had to take the risk, step off the cliff and follow my passion for travel and writing. I had to break out of that mold to find a new path and I am very glad that I did. I am blessed to be surrounded by very understanding and encouraging friends and family. Though I'm sure they may have had reservations about what I was doing, I didn't have one person tell me not to follow my dreams. They all supported me 100% which ultimately helped me get where I am to day. Plus this is my second Round the World trip so they are kind of used to it!
Did you have to save long or are you working on the road?
I did save but probably not as much as I should have. Really I just timed my departure (from work and from the US) to coincide with when I received my work bonus. That gave me a chunk of change to work with. Plus I did make more of an effort to save once I made up my mind what I was going to do. I also tried my best to cut my expenses while I was on the road (e.g. getting someone to sublet my apartment). I wish I could say I'm one of those diligent, thrifty savers who had savings for the next two years – but I'm just not that person. I also am not good at consistently doing the budget thing. I'm good for a few budget meals and a hostel stay or two, but then I need to balance that out with a nicer hotel or an excursion that will allow me to better experience wherever I'm staying. Basically for me, its all about balance.
Travelling in Cappadocia, Turkey
What have been your favorite stops and why?
I found Cappadocia in Turkey to be very interesting and unique in terms of landscape. Its just a visually stunning place to go. Going back to Japan after 18 years was both amazing and emotional. I think I cried at least 4 or 5 times as I reunited with people and places I hadn't visited in far too long. And having the chance to just "be" in Beirut is a treasure to me. Something about this city really speaks to me and I'm glad I have the two months to soak it all up and explore at my own pace.
Have you had any moments where you are looking for other Black travelers or female travelers to bond with?
I think I always look for a friendly Black face when I'm on the road. I was a little disappointed in Seoul where I saw many black faces, but none of them would ever nod or smile in my direction. I was surprised to be completely ignored by nearly each person I smiled at. In Beirut, you see plenty of Africans, but they are almost exclusively there as domestic workers or cleaning staff. It is something I definitely have to get used to. There is definitely a tone of racism here that makes me uncomfortable. Its only the Blacks that I've met from the US that are here as tourists, students or professionals. As for Female travelers, I feel like they are everywhere so I never really feel like I have to seek them out. In fact I wouldn't mind meeting more (single, eligible) male travelers!
How has it been interacting with locals on some of your stops?
For the most part it has been extremely positive. People tend to be helpful, welcoming and interested to learn more about me as a single, Black, American traveler. Of course there are exceptions and people I've met who have been poor examples of their country's hospitality, but luckily they are the exception rather than the norm.
What do you miss most about home?
I have to say there's not a lot I miss on a regular basis. There are so many new things to try and new places to see and new friends to meet. But all that being said, there are definitely times when I miss seeing my friends and family and being around people who know me and "get me". I miss my Capoeira academy back in LA which is where I spend a good part of my free time…and I miss Crystal Light Lemonade, pretzels and a good quality margarita! OK – I guess I do miss some things!
What have you learned about yourself on this journey?
So far I have learned that even though I am shy by nature, I can be outgoing when I need to be – and when you travel alone, you need to be outgoing on a regular basis. I learned that while I'm getting better, I still have some confidence issues that I need to work on – and no place like "on the road" to work on them. And just last night I learned that when I have absolutely no other option, I can get a half dead mega cockroach out of my room instead of fleeing the premises like I truly wanted to do (hopefully I won't have to learn THAT lesson ever again).

Jackall Iobee Frog - $12.99
Meticulously designed and tested to provide all the attributes serious anglers are looking for in a hollow bodied frog, the Iobee's body is actually molded around its super sharp, custom-made hook to keep it completely weedless and deliver excellent hooking capabilities. It also casts like a bullet and walks with ease thanks to its specially balanced weight system. The Iobee's unique rubber legs even offer a slightly different action than traditional silicone legs for additional fish attraction. Nothing is more exciting than having a largemouth come flying out of the water with your frog in its mouth. Try the Jackall Iobee Frog today - you won't be disappointed. Engineered to perform perfectly right out of the box, there's no tuning necessary with the Jackall Iobee Frog.
Jackall | Length | Weight |
Iobee Frog | 2-1/2" | 1/2oz |
Comments: Great open water frog with excellent hook up ratio, very soft out of the box, love spros but this will fit into the arsenal as well
From: Chris: San Jose, CA
Comments: this frog walks much easier than others for me. Soft, strong hooks and the hookup ratio has been very good. Another quality product from jackall
From: Jacob: Atlanta
Comments: I love this frog! easy to walk and hook-up is superb! I use this frog a lot. The frog is very soft and can cast in the open water very far. Thinking about getting another color.
From: Brian: CA
Comments: Easily Best frog on the market, wish they were more durable go through a lot of them but you gotta pay to play in this game. I can't believe people are saying that the booyah pad crushers and spros have better action than the iobees's and don't draw water that is not true all frogs take in water. Bluegill is my favorite pattern. They fish slightly different than other frogs, the walk the dog action on these is incredible and the hook up ratio on these is nearly 100 percent. Bass absolutely choke these frogs!
Comments: Well, here are my initial impressions of the bait. I do quite a lot of frog fishing down here and have sampled most of the more popular makes. Colors are nice and finish is pretty durable. Does take in water but not much different from the SPRO in that regard. Walks just fine; better than the Spro and comparable to the Ish frog. Comes through the spatterdock type pads we fish better than any other frog; more slender front profile slips through the "pad cracks" effectively. Pretty useless around any vine type cover though, with a tendendy to roll and expose the hook. We fish a lot of knotgrass, needlegrass and maidencane so thats not good. Did catch fish although its not really frog season right now. All in all a worthwhile addition if not a replacement for my spro and snag proof arsenal.
From: LD: Hollywood, FL
Comments: id much rather use the kvd sexy frog takes in no water walks really well and has much more colors for a cheap price
From: Noah: Hidden Valley Lake, IN
Comments: worth the money. very good at walking the dog.
From: Peter
Comments: I have a bluegill,haven't try it out yet,but it look so good and walk good (in the bucket).
From: Dophahato: HCM/Vietnam
Comments: Hookup ratio on this frog is above average. Sits low in the water and bass just suck it down like a toilet with a strong flush! Nice sharp hooks, so get your pliers ready because it goes super deep inside the mouth of the bass (i think its due to its skinny width). I did find that trimming the legs to the length of the frog itself helped it walk so much better.You'll also find that with enough practice, this frog can be walked in place, which irritates the hell out of bass and they just want to destroy it.. but don't be fooled by the "weedless" description because that is bogus. It does go over pads fairly well but over nastier stuff, it will get tons of spinach and its own legs as well. Also, if you use it for an extended period it will definitely take in some water. Just reel it back and squeeze the water out, not a big deal. Overall I will say its not the perfect frog but its one of the better ones out there. I'll give it and 8 out of 10.
From: Shake That Bass: Orange County, CA
Comments: Went out with a popular brand frog. It was too hard missed every fish. Did some research and decided to try the Iobee. Bought 2, hook up ratio went way up and all fish were 3lbs plus and a couple of 7 pounders. After the 7th fish it is looking a little worn but still works. Kinda expensive but I am catching nice fish, a few more fish and we will call it even. Good stuff
From: Noah: Channahon, IL
Comments: This is a nice frog but not "worth" $12.99. Booyah Pad Crashers are half the price and just as good. If money is no issue, buy what you want.
From: Chris: Indianapolis, IN
Comments: great frog is the beast frog i have this is my go to frog
From: Jon: Charlotte, NC
Comments: I bought one of these to compare with my Spro popping frog and Slither K Deps frogs. It walks very well, and is super soft like the Deps. It does not skip very well, like the Deps it is too soft, and fouls up when skipped. I also noted that after five or six fish, that it is starting to sink. Not super impressed, the Spros are much more durable, and walk just as well. These baits have the best finish I have seen, and the hookup ratio seems to be good with no modifications. Needs to be a little tougher, and needs to be a little more bouyant--in my opinion.
From: Brad: TX
Comments: Best frog I have used. Body shape and softness make for better hook-ups. The detail is great. Bluegill is a great color, though hard to find. I have bluegill and chartreuse. Both have caught a bunch of fish. I dont think the bass care about the colors as much as we do.
From: Mike: CT, USA
Comments: In review of my comments earlier, I can't say enough about the quality of customer feedback from Jackall. Great company and will order more of their products for sure!
From: Lee: York, VA
Comments: Easily the best frog on the market in my opinion. It walks like a spook with ease and comes through cover like a champ. The hook up ratio is extremely consistant too. I skipped this frog under a pontoon boat and hooked into a six pounder but my line broke because the fish shot under the boat which was rubbing my line against the underside of the boat. I plan on ordering many more!
Comments: After now fishing this frog on multiple occasions I have both a love/hate relationship. I guess with all lures they have specific applications.
Cons: In windy conditions the you loose sight of the frog under the water and it does pick up a lot of vegetation if you are fishing in heavy cover. Under certain conditions depending on the color of the frog you can loose sight pretty easy on long casts.
Pros: To Ben who says you cannot walk this fast, this is a PLUS it, you can burn the crap out of this this side to side but it stays in the strike zone much longer. I have no problem walking this frog, it is a thing of beauty. Super sharp hooks, and the shape of the body make hook sets a breeze.
I really noticed the frog shines when the bite is slow and around sparse vegetation, my hook up ration was 100% on 7 fish the other day.. I think the reason is because the frog sits so low in the water, it is much easier for them to just suck it in rather than hitting it. My hook set was more of a light sweep to give them time to swim away with it. I could not hook up with a koppers live target 65T I don't like the 55T bc its too light and does not walk the dog very well. In throwing both frogs the Kopper sits much higher out of the water, I think reason being they do not collect as much grass but also limits hook sets on not so active fish who are almost just inspecting the frog not so much looking for something to eat; again this is where I saw this frog shine for me. With that being said this frog is EXCELLENT in open water and in sparse vegetation.
Comments: This frog i give a 4 out of 10. It walks good in open water but sucks in any moss it hits. the hooks get mossy fast and they get snagged on trees and lay downs when you bump them. they go under water when you walk it fast and you still have to squeeze water too. i had 5 bits and missed them all, and one bass looked easily over 5 pounds. Spro's walk better in my opinion, and puts out more splashes and better hook up ratio. I'm staying with spro frogs
From: Ben: St. Peters, MO
Comments: Love this frog. Walks great, pops very nice as well, with the keel it seems to jump out of the water. 3 open water bass in 30 minutes and 5 out of 5 hook ups so far (which is just insane for me, usually its a 1/5 kinda deal). One issue I have with it is the first bass popped the hook out of the back so its picking up a good bit of water.
From: Lee: York, PA
Comments: This frog is a killer!! I was walking this frog until I heard a dog bark right after I turned back to look, I walked it twice and anice 4 pounder smashed this thing! I'm definitely going to buy more.
From: Michael: Merced, CA
Comments: My new favorite frog from my long time favorite company. Jackall may be a bit pricier than others but to me, the design n research they put into baits is obviously why...this frog is near perfect. GREAT hook up ratio for a frog, walks the dog well...just a nice frog. And all you people talking about weeds, be more versatile w/ the frog...standing timber, laydowns, and especially cast under overhanging trees---frogs skip very easily---these things are NOT just "pad sloshers"...u can keep them in the strike zone indefinately...it can be cast into the tightest pockets w/ out fear of hanging up..it can entice a strike when other baits won't. Broaden ur idea of the hollow body frog. "Slop-skimmin/sloshin" is why you miss so many hook ups...they're great in the thick stuff too but punchin usually out performs frogs for me in that...
From: Tanner: Cape Cod, MA
Comments: Am convinced that the hook up ratio beats all other hollow body frogs that I've fished in the past. Because of the body desigh, which allows for the better hook up ratio, the hooks tend to catch vegetation somewhat but certainly worth a small amount of aggravation when the bottom line is when you do get bit, chances are its coming on the boat!!
From: Richard: Columbus, GA
Comments: This frog is the KILLER!!!!.....at the pond!!.....caught 38 bass for the whole day and mosting all the bass are 3 or 4 pouder but the biggest one I caught was a 6 pounder!!!!....
From: Pao: Merced, CA
Comments: Great frog,best frog ive used only one problem,after two fish the belly were the hook comes out tore and now it sinks,$13 two 3 1/2 pounders cmon now i know its designed to be soft but it also needs to be durible still an awesome frog,guess its going to be $13 more for another one
From: Vaslim
Comments: good open water frog (walk the dog) but not so great in heavy weeds/mats.
From: Leng: Arkansas
Comments: well this frog is great have caught bass on them all ready here in ohio walks the dog easier then any other frog only bad thing is it catches some weeds on the hooks but it is now my go to frog
From: Mike: Akron, Ohio
Comments: caught a 3.5 and 3 on this frog last weekend and it held up very well. Walks the dog like a champ and is virtually waterproof. The only thing I didn't like about it is that the hooks sit up a little too high on the butt of the frog which causes it to catch a few weeds as it has a habit of flipping over. Overall I liked the frog but I have to say Kopper is my favorite HANDS DOWN.
From: Nicholas, Montz, LA
Comments: Jackall has done it again. They are always coming up with lures that are a step above all the rest. I got 2 of these frogs and I can say this that they have the best walking action I have ever seen. I can't wait to hit the water this spring. I own all of the Jackall lures and I can say this much about them they will all catch fish.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: bought to of these in brown and bluegill very nice looking frogs and they r very soft come spring I think I will catch lots of bass on them
From: Mike: Akron, Ohio
Comments: this is the BEST frog i ever have!..>.

The California Air Resources Board on Monday said the last time the state made an early shift to so-called "winter-blend" gasoline was in 2005, in response to supply disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina.
AAA said the average price for a gallon of regular hit $4.668 Monday in California — the highest price in the nation.
Officials said it could take days before prices fall, depending on how quickly refineries can get the winter-blend fuel to market.
California usually converts to the gas on Oct. 31. The fuel evaporates in heat more quickly than summer-blends.
A fuel's evaporation rate indicates how much raw fuel enters the environment, especially in warm weather.

I am inspired by plaids today. After retiring some of the flashier items on my shirt shelves, I realized I'd gone too far. My city shirt wardrobe is currently weighted too heavily towards semi-solid shirts and simple stripes, an oversight that will be remedied with plaid shirts made from these Thomas Mason fabrics.
Now just a few men wear plaid shirts and perhaps others may think themselves not quite bold enough to make a plaid statement. But boldness is not really necessary. One trick that helps de-emphasize the complexity of a large check like the swatches in the photo is to combine them with a white collar and cuffs. Worn with a double breasted suit or single breasted with a waistcoat, there's only a peak of pattern setting off the necktie.
Yes indeed, fourth and fifth from the top will be just the ticket for the spring sunshine.

Inspired by Plaids
10 comments:
- John said...
I have recently favored plaid shirts with a navy blazer and navy tie with white dots or just open collar with a navy blazer.
They look like nice fabrics. - February 13, 2008 at 7:15:00 AM PST
- Turling said...
Upon contemplation of my wardrobe, I do realize, it's rather colorless, with the exception of ties and squares. Even my hose lack any true color. With spring on the way (or "here", since it is 80 degrees in Southern California), I am going to make it a point to add some color. Will, it would be fabulous if for a future posting you could show one of these plaid shirts as part of a day's ensemble. I think a visual would truly help me in this area. Thank you so much.
- February 13, 2008 at 7:32:00 AM PST
- John said...
I agree with Turling. It would be great to see these shirts in completed form and with your tie and suit combination.
Also, as I mentioned previously, I am having shirts made when Hemrajani comes to town next week. Does he use these fabrics? I checked his website but do not see where he buys his shirt fabrics. - February 13, 2008 at 8:34:00 AM PST
- Richard said...
I love plaid shirts, but like the other gents, I find my closet is full of colorless shirts. I always love plaid when I see it, but I am hesitant to make the purchase knowing that matching a tie will be tricky. Great post, and I to would like to see the completed ensemble.
- February 13, 2008 at 10:35:00 AM PST
- Will said...
John, his "luxury fabrics" (which are the only ones you ought to consider IMO), are principally Masons.
- February 13, 2008 at 10:51:00 AM PST
- The Casanova Peasant said...
I have plaid shirts that I wear informally instead of behind a jacket and tie. When I go to wear the jacket and tie however, I'm always caught staring at the plaids for a few seconds longer, and wishing I could make it work somehow. Red tartan is a bit harder to diffuse though isn't it...
- February 13, 2008 at 10:40:00 PM PST
- Jeff said...
How long does your shirtmaker take for making new shirts, from ordering to delivery?
- February 14, 2008 at 4:31:00 AM PST
- Will said...
Depends on the time of year. 2-3 months.
- February 14, 2008 at 6:01:00 AM PST
- Jocke said...
I've gotto say I don't really like the fabrics you posted.
I love a plaid shirt, but the plaids on the picture are IMHO to big. Also, beeing I'm just 24, they feel a bit more suitable for the refined gentlemen of a respected age. - February 15, 2008 at 2:18:00 AM PST
- initials CG said...
I've been looking at making the leap to plaid, but like most here I am a bit gun shy about them. I've had three made, and they still haven't left the house.
Plaid shirts with a solid suit?
Plaid shirt with a glenurquhart suit?
Then the tie... I always drift torwards a solid. Other patterns seem to just clash. Pocket square?
What are your thoughts? - February 16, 2008 at 2:57:00 AM PST

The benefits of vertical gardens can be limitless. Indoors it can be the ultimate organic wallpaper, or a way to infuse more oxygen in a closed environment. Outdoors, a vertical wall adds more square footage for growing greens or simply creates a living wall. These are some of my favorite photos from the web and garden tours around San Diego.

It's more than just e-mail
E-mail may be a pain, but is the problem the technology or the failure of the 'information society' to tame and extract the value from it?
By Marc Fresko
What a pain e-mail is. And yet, e-mail is now deeply embedded as an essential communications channel for many business processes in almost all sectors.
It causes different sorts of pain for different parts of each organisation. In the IT Operations area, the constantly growing call for storage hurts badly. In the compliance arena, the difficulty of managing huge volumes of dynamic data causes worries for the health of an organisation indeed, the occasional suggestion of instant remedies in the shape of e-mail management systems can threaten to make this even worse. And, of course, users struggle with the headache of dealing with the flood of information and spam.
There are two kinds of problems here. The pain as described is mainly due to a reactive problem managing the result of e-mail adoption. But we should not forget the pro-active problem, namely working out what we need to do to maximise the business benefits we gain from it a concept that is relevant to all technologies, as I will explain.
The proximate cause of these pains is obvious: the sheer volume of e-mail. It is difficult to obtain authoritative numbers for e-mail volumes, due to the decentralised and essentially unmanaged nature of the internet. However, by way of example, estimates for 2006 volumes range from 60 billion per day (Deutsche Telekom) to over 183 billion per day (Radicati Group), the higher figure, incidentally, equating to an incredible two million per second.
Using another industry estimate of 1.2 billion e-mail users, this equates to between 50 and 150 messages per person per day and even though the majority of them may be spam (a faintly incredible 90 to 95 per cent, according to studies from SoftScan and Barracuda Networks), that still leaves more information to be processed than most people can manage well.
But beyond the obvious, why else do we struggle so to get our e-mail under control? Is it because e-mail is new, perhaps? Absolutely not. I find it chilling to reflect that it is no less than 25 years since I managed a large-scale rollout of e-mail to thousands of users around the globe. And the technological roots of e-mail go back even further, to the early 1960s. E-mail systems in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s were early incarnations, now obsolete; but even if we limit our horizon to todays pervasive SMTP internet e-mail, widespread adoption started at least 15 years ago.
Now, isnt 15 years ample time for our information society to learn how to manage the side effects of a new technology?
The shapers of technology have brought us, in quick succession, a wide variety of novelties that are relevant in business: starting with bulletin boards, then the world wide web (plus its close relatives, intranets and extranets) and more recently Web 2.0 solutions such as social networks, RSS, wikis, and blogs.
Not to forget the fashionable collaboration technologies, and an innumerable host of tools that are less obviously business-oriented but that nevertheless are relevant to some: file sharing networks (such as YouTube and Flickr).
Most businesses are wondering what to do about these new technologies. Block them? Limit their use? Adopt them? There are plenty of examples of organisations using them to great advantage, including instances of specific quantifiable benefit, but the majority seem to be set to repeat with these new technologies the delays and uncertainties that have led to the pain of e-mail.
So, are you doomed to suffer the pain of reacting to the issues raised by these new technologies for 15 years or more after they emerge? Or are you prepared to act in a way that will proactively reap the benefits of these technologies for your organisation?
There is a simple remedy to these problems. You have to recognise the value to your enterprise of these technologies, and of the information they hold or provide. And you have to manage them proactively, exerting good governance in much the same way as you would govern other resources.
You need to devise policies for them procedures and mechanisms to ensure they are used beneficially or not at all. You need to monitor their use, taking action to increase, decrease, or change usage patterns to keep these aligned atop your policies; and you need to assign roles and responsibilities that enable all this to happen.
This sounds simple, and indeed it is, but it clearly calls for top-level management endorsement and support installing another software package will not do the trick. It really is not such a bitter pill to swallow. Surely it is better than another 15 years of pain? ?

Vice President Joe Biden argued on Thursday that public opinion had turned against the gun rights lobby. "I say it's unacceptable not to take this on. ... I believe the price to be paid politically is for those who refuse to act," Biden told a conference on gun violence held 10 miles from the site of the Connecticut elementary school massacre. Citing the courage of the Newtown families, Biden said, "It's not too much to ask the political establishment ... to show some courage also." Advertisement |

Really, it is.
Hanuman wrote:It should be self-evident that one is entitled to one's own beliefs. That entitlement extends, I believe, to the right to harmlessly practice those beliefs without being subjected to unsolicited harassment for such and we are talking about truly harmless stuff here.
Hanuman wrote:In my hypothetical post, an insight into the belief of the poster is betrayed but because it's essentially irrelevant to the point of the post it shouldn't be open for debate.
Hanuman wrote:Were the post to have actively promoted the belief ahead of any other or otherwise discredited potentially opposing views then the threshold has been crossed and, obviously, the views are fair game for discussion.
Hanuman wrote:The hypothetical case of the euphonic horse manure is an extreme one, because the premise appears to be so ludicrous, but there are many other hard-felt beliefs in this game that are far less controversial but, in essence, not that much different.
Hanuman wrote: What if I say that my Lyra Delos is superior to my DL-103R. A voice might say "Prove that" ...
ld wrote:I disagree. For example, if that belief leads to misleading others toward poor buying decisions, wasting money, etc. Obvious examples abound.
ld wrote:Harassment is an emotive word, and would be typically in the mind of the harassee here. And, in any event, challenge is not harassment. Besides, belief is not harmless when it is used to mislead others toward loss or bad decisions.
ld wrote:I disagree. If a premise of the post is flawed, it is open for debate. Even if the premise is implied, such as discussion of what type of horse manure sounds best or whether cryogenically treating horse manure is worthwhile. It's always relevant that horse manure has no real effect.

If ever called on it, at least you could verify they are different, which they truly are. You could record them and share the files. You could then have an interesting discussion about opinions and taste, and qualities. If you did the same thing with euphonic horse manure treated cables, I'd like to think the audio samples would be indistinguishable, and no sensible discussion based on them is possible.
Hanuman wrote:So you just want to keep out the riff-raff and infidels, then?

You relied on it in a point of argument, Hanuman. That's as good as a claim in my book.

I need to install a 200A alternator in my truck. I have not made the mount yet so I could use just about any. Is there a difference between say a Ford superduty 200A alertaotr vs a Powermaster 200A alternator?

The Ford one is easy to get one in a pinch. The Powermaster probably cost lest than a Ford factory one but if it goes out and you need one in a hurry its not near as easy as going to dealership or autozone to get a replacement.

Y i was thinking the same thing about availability, but the Power Master is actually much more.
BUCKLE UP...i want to try something
Not a big fan of powermaster, lot's of failures on our 8 trucks. Went with a alt built by ACE ALTERNATOR in yucca valley, 140 amps, no failures all last year in bitd. Our trucks need around 98 amps with everything on, lights included. Checked after every race, no problems at all. Pete@EMPIREDESTRUCTIVE, 8068&8033
The guys at ACE Alternator in yucca valley are definately good people to deal with. they do all our protrucks and prerunners starters and alternators and have yet to have an issue! It would be worth sending your stuff to them no matter where in socal you are. Good racer prices, knowledge, and service!

Cisco ya might want to check out autolectrics in campbell,ca they can custom make alternators i have 2 customs one on my prerunner and one on my play car both perform well
Rocket to BCG1..... go.... "Chelada"....
cool, thanks for your reply's
BUCKLE UP...i want to try something
There is also the large case 6G, instead of the smaller case 3G for Ford Powerstroke diesels. Major enemy of alternators is heat, and a larger alternator with larger case, more free airspace etc. allows alternators to survive longer.
Their F1-6G-HD200 is a large case, 200A, heavy duty, single internal bridge rectifier option.

BOONVILLE - For the second-straight night, the Rams fell behind early and were unable to claw their way back into a game.
Tuesday night against West Wilkes in the Mountain Valley Conference opener, Starmount fell behind 38-20 at halftime, courtesy of a six-point second quarter.
The Rams rebounded and outscored the Blackhawks 27-22 in the second half, but the deficit was too much to overcome. West finished off the 60-47 victory.
The theme was no different Wednesday night against Northwest Conference power North Surry.
Starmount fell behind quickly 17-5 after one quarter of play and trailed by as much as 21 in the half before battling back in the second half. The Rams cut the deficit down to 10 in the fourth quarter, but dropped the 65-51 decision.
"We dug a hole early; dug a big hole," head coach Rocky Horton said. "It was the same thing that happened [Tuesday]. We got down big but our guys kept fighting and cut it to 14. We came out in halftime and I think we might have won by one in the second half, like last night where we won by five.
"I'm just proud of our guys and love our guys to death to keep fighting," he continued. "They could have easily just quit, but they kept fighting and fighting and fighting, and I love it. I told them that if I could, I'd go out there and fight with them."
Starmount opened on a quick 3-0 run two minutes into the game before the Greyhounds exploded. North used a 17-2 run over the final six minutes of the frame, highlighted by a four-point play at the buzzer.
The Rams were kept off the scoreboard until the 4:23 mark of the second on a Josh Houser free throw cut the deficit to 26-6.
Starmount started its comeback in the final four minutes of the half, outscoring North in the span 15-9 to head to the locker room within striking distance at 35-21.
The teams traded baskets in the third quarter with the Rams hanging around. The Greyhounds took a 15-point advantage to the fourth up 52-37.
Starmount opened the decisive frame on a 7-2 run to trim the lead down to 10 at 54-44, forcing six-straight turnovers on the defensive end of the floor.
The Rams kept the game close but were never able to get closer than 10 points as North knocked down crucial free throws to ice the game and leave with a 65-51 win despite being outscored in the fourth, 14-13.
"We just need to trust each other in the offense and just letting the offense work," Horton said. "I feel like we're dribbling too much right now and that just comes with youth and pressure. We just have to keep trusting and keep working like we did in the third quarter.
In a balanced scoring night, Houser led the way with 11 points, while Ben Combs added 10. James Ashley and Gunner Cass tacked on nine points apiece.
"We just have to produce and stop digging ourselves in holes. We're young and I told them that good things will happen with experience. I told them to learn from this one and lets get ready for next Tuesday," Horton added.
Starmount is off tonight but returns to the floor Tuesday in West Jefferson to take on Ashe County.

From New Zealand the top choices would be Taylor, Guptill and McCullum.
Think India are probably the safe bet, but Sehwag and Gambhir aren't in great form. Yuvraj or Raina maybe? South Africa with AB and Duminy could go well. |

Tough question given the nature of T20.
I'm backing South Africa to make the final. So having played every game I will say J.P Duminy for leading run-scorer. Sort of cricketer who is always a chance for the 50+ score as he doesn't throw his bat around recklessly. Has IPL form behind him too. He already sits just outside the top 10 leading international run-scorers. |

I'm going to go for either Ravi Bopara or JP Duminy. Can see them both having top tournaments.

Bopara no chance, not good enough against the top attacks and England won't go far enough for him to have enough games anyway. Duminy will probably be batting at 5 which is a bit too low to be top run scorer, also if SA get a strong platform there's always the possibility of Albie being promoted ahead of him in a few games.
My money would be on Gibbs, looked like he really had this format figured in the IPL, is in the best mental state he's been in for years (always a big issue with Herschelle) and most importantly he opens, expecting SA to get to the final too so he'll have plenty of games. Suprised no one else had suggested him TBH. Other good bets are Raina and Gambhir, Raina bats at 3 so he's got a shot, has looked awesome recently. Picking Gambhir on past performances, and again he opens in a strong side so he has max opportunities. Ponting isn't a bad shout, but I just don't think he's good enough at one day cricket any more, 3 years ago he'd have been a prime candidate. Warner is a bit too inconsistent, but one big innings could seriously boost his numbers. Smith's looked out of sorts this year, but is the type of player that could score consistently, has an awesome record in England too. There are a lot of players who could do really well like Taylor, Gayle, and Symonds, but they either don't bat high enough or simply aren't consistent enough or play in too weak teams to be top runscorer.

He had a crap IPL and will look to pwn bowling attacks from the first ball. I also think India will at least reach the semis so he should have a number of opportunities. I'd like Taylor or Ryder to do something big. Ryder especially since he got some 1st over jaffas in the IPL and was then injured.
All-Time Test XI: Gavaskar, Boycott, Tendulkar, G.Pollock, V.Richards, Sobers, Gilchrist (wk), Warne (c), Waqar/Wasim, Lillee, Ambrose. |

When I saw this weeks theme, I decided on a very specific set of photos. And when I say very specific, I mean very hard to find as I didn't remember if I still had them on my hard drive, or maybe on a USB which I've lost some time ago or maybe on a CD. See where this is going? Yes, it took me days to find them and in the end they were on my hard drive. In a folder I had specifically created to hold my, and I'm using this term very loosely, artsy photos.
Okay, I'm no horticulturist but I think this plant is syringa. A good tip to find out english names of plants and animals is to type the name in your own language in Wikipedia, copy paste the latin name in English Wikipedia. Latin, surprisingly many uses in modern-day writing environment. In this case it was from Finnish: Syreeni to Latin: Syringa to English (disappointedly): Syringa.
I love the photo challenge. It gives me an excuse to play with Photoshop Actions. Once again I used the free sets available from The Pioneer Woman. My favourite and thus the most over-used action is Seventies which gives that lovely golden sunset vibe on every picture.
When I was playing with the said actions, I began thinking I could do something more with the images. Another freebie I've downloaded quite some time ago, a French cancellation mark set by Just Something I Made was perfect for what I had in mind.
You know what I made? I made small, postcard sized posters thus suitable sending for a friend:
