NASCAR Nitpicking. Ideas to make the Sprint Cup more...'interesting' So the NASCAR season is upon us, but I don't really find myself in the spirit of the series like I used to.

Close Call These three photos shows what looks normal, but could lead to disaster. Got real lucky here, picking up a faint smell and the clothes weren't drying well. This is a dryer cord. It hangs from near the top of the dryer and box is mount close to the floor. The metal mount is held to wall by three screws. Through the sheet rock and into a stud. The dryer vibrates and that shakes the cord. Over the years the screws started to pull out. The top screw fell on one prong and caused a short. The screws might have been to short and may have been supplied with outlet. read more1 week ago | 38 views, 1 comments |

G-2/Veloss Reverse Trike kit if the T-Rex I have been working on a 2009 G-2/Veloss reverse trike kit for awhile. I have the majority of the parts for my trike including a reverse gear and a brand new 2009 zx 1400 motor. I am stuck on my kit build because the frame I received did not come with motor mounts and I'm not prepared to take on the task of fabricating motor mounts and correctly positioning the motor to line up with the rear sprocket as well as getting the balance correct. I do not have a chassis fabrication specialist in my area and as such I will likely have to have my kit shipped away to have this read more3 years ago | 18,303 views, 7 comments |

1948 Rat Rod (Willys Jeep pickup) aka Raticus I have been building a nostalgia styled rat rod from a 1948 Willys Jeep Pickup. This is my first attempt at making a rat - but it won't be my last... Back half of frame was rotted so I cut it out and replaced it with 2 x 3 boxed frame that I made. I Z'd the frame 14 inches in back. I removed the front axle and made a suicide perch and put in an early Ford straight axle. I located an old set of Ford wishbones and split the puppies.... read more3 years ago | 13,046 views, 10 comments |

1968 VW Squareback Next project Well, I have started another VW project. This time I will be using a 68 VW Squareback. Kinda like a Vega Wagon, of that era. It has a 3" chopped top. The side quarter windows had been filled in, but done very badly. Someone had used about 2 gallons of bondo on each side of the car. I have since removed all of that. It will have suicide doors, and frenched headlight. I have taken the drivetrain and VW pan out from under it. I will be replacing it with a tube chassis like I did for the beetle. The engine will be a 1953 331 Chrysler Hemi. It will have a 6-71 blower as well. read more3 years ago | 2,219 views, 39 comments |

Hide Unsightly Wires With Unsightly Brick

Whole Earth Organic Corn Flakes 375g
Product Description
Our Crispy and Crunchy, Natural Flakes of Corn are lightly toasted for a delicious taste. Each organic corn flake is not only tasty but a low fat, low saturates and naturally gluten free food. Our flakes are so delightfully golden, you'll be beaming all morning!
Soil Association. Organic Standard.
The Whole Earth Story began in 1967 when Craig Sams and his brother Gregory opened Seed, a pioneering vegetarian, organic and macrobiotic restaurant in Paddington, London. His pioneering spirit continues with the team today and we soon realised that many of our devoted customers were as passionate about organic food as we were and wanted to buy our products. And so 'Ceres Grain' was founded, the first of a new generation of natural food stores, which sold Whole Earth products and baked goods. In 1974 we launched a range of organic cereals and we made the first organic corn flakes in the UK.
We wanted to have an organic alternative to this popular breakfast cereal so in 1991, Whole Earth launched the first ever organic corn flakes to be sold in the UK. Our natural flakes of corn are lightly toasted to produce a crisp and crunchy flake. They are a low fat, low saturates and naturally gluten free food, so feel free to indulge yourself.

Good value GF cornflakes!
Love these cornflakes, almost as good as kelloggs and so much cheaper than other gluten free cornflakes. Superb value.
08 December 2013
good gluten free alternative
Great alternative to normal corn flakes, bit firmer than expected but tasty and a nice gluten free substitute
10 October 2013
Filling and very nice
Very nice cornflakes, big flakes that are not full of air like Kelloggs version. Combine this with organic milk and you have a beautiful breakfast.
05 March 2013
Super crunchy and Yummy!
These aren't salty at all. They aren't too sweet as well, which I prefer, if you like sweeter flakes just add some agave nectar or similar. The best thing is how crunchy they are, they really stand up to milk, or Oatly, as I use. And the price is excellent.
26 February 2013
I haven't checked the salt levels compared to others & it would be better without soya. I like the taste though :)

Uta Noppeney investigates how the human brain acquires, represents and retrieves knowledge about our multisensory environment. Her team addresses this central research question from three complementary perspectives: (1) Multisensory Integration, (2) Language and (3) Concept Learning. To characterize the underlying neural and computational mechanisms, they combine psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI & EEG/MEG) and computational modeling.
Uta Noppeney is director of the Computational Neuroscience & Cognitive Robotics Centre at the University of Birmingham.
Uta Noppeney studied medicine and philosophy at Freiburg University, University College London and Johns Hopkins University. Her medical doctoral thesis explored how neuroscientific concepts emerged through interactions between neuroscience, philosophy and psychology at the beginning of the 20th century. After training in neurology at the University Hospital in Aachen, she researched at Magdeburg University and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging. Her PhD investigated the neural basis of semantic and language processing using neuroimaging. In 2005, she moved to the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. In 2011, she joined the Computational Neuroscience & Cognitive Robotics Centre at the University of Birmingham. Her current research focuses on multisensory integration and learning.
Uta Noppeney would be interested in supervising students in topics related to multisensory integration and categorization. Knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, prior experience in functional imaging and a strong quantitative background would be an advantage.
Research interests
The goal of the Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group is to better understand the neural systems that allow us to acquire, represent and retrieve knowledge about our multisensory environment. We address this central research question from three complementary perspectives: (1) Multisensory Integration, (2) Language and (3) Concept Learning.
Our current research focuses primarily on how the human brain integrates information from multiple senses with prior knowledge to form a coherent and more reliable percept of its environment. Within the cortical hierarchy, multisensory perception emerges in an interactive process with top-down prior information constraining the interpretation of the incoming sensory signals.
Therefore, our approach is to characterize the response properties of individual regions and to establish the functional and effective connectivity between regions. We combine the complementary strengths of psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI, M/EEG), perturbation approaches such as concurrent TMS-fMRI and neuropsychological studies in patients. To gain a more informed perspective on the underlying computational and neural mechanisms, we combine functional imaging with models of Bayesian inference and learning.
Uta Noppeney serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Neuroscience, NeuroImage and Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience.

Shop Around The Corner, The (1940)This classic's story was ripped off and later remade with Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan as You've Got Mail (1998). In this original, James Stewart (The Philadelphia Story (1940)) and Margaret Sullavan (Three Comrades (1938)) play co-workers in a small gift shop who have been corresponding "romantically" by mail, such that neither knows the identity of the other. Of course, as co-workers they can't stand each other. Frank Morgan plays the owner of the shop. Noted character actor Charles Halton appears as a detective who informs Morgan's character that his wife is having an affair with Joseph Schildkraut's (The Life of Emile Zola (1937)). Felix Bressart also appears as a friend of Stewart's. The film, which was directed by Ernst Lubitsch, was added to the National Film Registry in 1999 and appears at #28 on AFI's 100 Greatest Love Stories list. |

If Chavez Jr. Wins impressively against whomever the hell he's fighting in September, would it still be too soon for Arum to match these 2 up against each other? Or does he (GGG) need a couple more fights to build his name on?
Personally I'd like to see a tournament at MW. Winner fights Marivilla, and would include GGG, Chavez Jr., Kid Choclate, Dimitry Pirog. |

Doesen't seem like Chavez Jr. wants to be considered great, through one of the traditional ways a past/present great fighter would achieve that status. I mean it's one thing to say a guy is "hungry", it's another thing to seem like a guy is "never full"... In his case. this fluctuation up and down in weight will catch up to him sooner or later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup_anim.gif) Maybe if this guy got with heredia bulked up and moved to 168 he could make some noise. I mean he did beat rubio and he pummeled Andy lee, those guys are not pushovers (even though he did have big weight advantages and the ring in the lee fight was fucking tiny). |

Retired big league catcher Ken Huckaby spent 18 years behind home plate as a professional ball player, fulfilling his lifelong dream stemming from his Little League days in Manteca.
RIPON - Ripon needed to play a perfect game just to keep up with Trans Valley League frontrunner Escalon, and for four innings the Indians were close.
OAKDALE - It may not have been a win, but at the very least, it was a message sent.
Evan Lewis' 51 Thursday at Manteca Park Golf Course turned out to be the difference in a 221-222 East Union win over Sonora.
Springtime fishing is a favorite time of year for anglers.

Weston Ranch fared well without star distance runner Roberto Alvarez in a Valley Oak League varsity dual meet at Manteca High Wednesday.
Sierra High welcomed its neighbors over to the home pool Wednesday afternoon as the Ripon Indians visited for a non-league friendly.
RIPON - The Ripon Indians don't like to run up the score, but sometimes even that task can be difficult.
Cassie Waggy and Rochelle Sellers crushed the big bombs to spot her the lead, and her defense came up with key plays behind her to help her keep it.
OAKDALE - It's all tied up now.
It is often said that you can never go back home, but there are more than 4,200 fans and competitors who attended Sunday's season-opening day event at the New Stockton 99 Speedway that would fervently disagree.
OAKDALE - Grant Widmer won four events, and Sierra's defending Valley Oak League champion frosh-soph boys team needed every one of them along with the 4x400 team's clutch performance in its 71-65 victory over Oakdale.
The Sac-Joaquin Section announced Thursday that Pete Saco's 21st-year as its commissioner will be his last.

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined.

NEW YORK U.S. ferrous scrap exports plunged in September after critical southeast Asian markets cut back on buying due to unfavorable currency markets, poor demand from mills in the region and higher scrap prices.
Exports totaled 1,631,442 tonnes in September, down 21.6 percent from 2,080,456 tonnes the previous month and 21.7 percent below the 2,082,971 tonnes shipped abroad in September 2011, according to the latest U.S. Commerce Department data.
Lower demand from Taiwan, India and Malaysia accounted for nearly 90 percent of the 449,000-tonne decline in exports in September as the three countries reduced their collective purchases from U.S. suppliers by more than 390,000 tonnes vs. August.
Ferrous scrap exports to Taiwan fell 40.1 percent to 237,690 tonnes in September from 396,484 tonnes the previous month, sales to India tumbled 63.6 percent to 66,902 tonnes from 183,589 tonnes and Malaysian orders plunged 79.9 percent to 28,803 tonnes from 143,433 tonnes.
South Koreas intake of 254,107 tonnes was down just 0.8 percent from 256,102 tonnes in August, while demand from China (including Hong Kong) inched up 0.7 percent to 97,277 tonnes from 96,597 tonnes.
Closer to home, shipments to Canada fell 18 percent to 94,273 tonnes in September from 114,973 tonnes the previous month, while Mexicos intake slid 26.7 percent to 51,526 tonnes from 70,247 tonnes.
Turkey, the largest offshore buyer of U.S. ferrous scrap, posted a 29.2-percent increase to 655,925 tonnes in from 507,797 tonnes in August.
The large drop in demand in September hit shredded scrap exports the hardest, with volumes falling 32.2 percent to 478,819 tonnes from 705,816 tonnes the previous month. Exports of No. 1 heavy melt scrap fell 13.7 percent to 586,282 tonnes from 679,696 tonnes in the same comparison, while plate and structural shipments slid 28.4 percent to 82,076 tonnes from 114,699 tonnes.
For the first nine months of the year, ferrous scrap export volumes were down 10.5 percent to 16,903,425 tonnes from 18,894,676 tonnes in the same period last year. Increased demand from Turkey (up 17.6 percent to 5,079,184 tonnes), Taiwan (up 4.3 percent to 2,755,838 tonnes), India (up 8.7 percent to 969,856 tonnes) and Mexico (up 30.9 percent to 560,751 tonnes) helped offset lower shipments to China (including Hong Kong), which fell 52.3 percent to 1,586,895 tonnes, and South Korea (down 0.9 percent to 2,373,423 tonnes).

For me, Linkedin has proven to be a great tool both for Marketing and Recruitment purposes. I've grown my network over the years and making an advanced search targeting my 1st degree connections alone can be surprisingly effective.

Summary: A brief history of Galileo's telescope.
Although the magnifying and diminishing properties of convex and concave transparent objects was known in Antiquity, lenses as we know them were introduced in the West 1 at the end of the thirteenth century. Glass of reasonable quality had become relatively cheap and in the major glass-making centers of Venice and Florence techniques for grinding and polishing glass had reached a high state of development. Now one of the perennial problems faced by aging scholars could be solved. With age, the eye progressively loses its power to accommodate, that is to change its focus from faraway objects to nearby ones. This condition, known as presbyopia, becomes noticeable for most people in their forties, when they can no longer focus on letters held at a comfortable distance from the eye. Magnifying glasses became common in the thirteenth century, but these are cumbersome, especially when one is writing. Craftsmen in Venice began making small disks of glass, convex on both sides, that could be worn in a frame--spectacles. Because these little disks were shaped like lentils, they became known as "lentils of glass," or (from the Latin) lenses. The earliest illustrations of spectacles date from about 1350, and spectacles soon came to be symbols of learning.
These spectacles were, then, reading glasses. When one had trouble reading, one went to a spectacle-maker's shop or a peddler of spectacles (see Figure 2 and Figure 3) and found a suitable pair by trial and error. They were, by and large, glasses for the old. spectacles for the young, concave lenses 2 that correct the refractive error known as myopia, were first made (again in Italy) in the middle of the fifteenth century. So by about 1450 the ingredients for making a telescope were there. The telescopic effect can be achieved by several combinations of concave and convex mirrors and lenses. Why was the telescope not invented in the fifteenth century? There is no good answer to this question, except perhaps that lenses and mirrors of the appropriate strengths were not available until later.
In the literature of white magic, so popular in the sixteenth century, there are several tantalizing references to devices that would allow one to see one's enemies or count coins from a great distance. But these allusions were cast in obscure language and were accompanied by fantastic claims; the telescope, when it came, was a very humble and simple device. It is possible that in the 1570s Leonard and Thomas Digges in England actually made an instrument consisting of a convex lens and a mirror, but if this proves to be the case, it was an experimental setup that was never translated into a mass-produced device. 3
The telescope was unveiled in the Netherlands. In October 1608, the States General (the national government) in The Hague discussed the patent applications first of Hans Lipperhey of Middelburg, and then of Jacob Metius of Alkmaar, on a device for "seeing faraway things as though nearby." It consisted of a convex and concave lens in a tube, and the combination magnified three or four times. 4 The gentlemen found the device too easy to copy to award the patent, but it voted a small award to Metius and employed Lipperhey to make several binocular versions, for which he was paid handsomely. It appears that another citizen of Middelburg, Sacharias Janssen had a telescope at about the same time but was at the Frankfurt Fair where he tried to sell it.
The news of this new invention spread rapidly through Europe, and the device itself quickly followed. By April 1609 three-powered spyglasses could be bought in spectacle-maker's shops on the Pont Neuf in Paris, and four months later there were several in Italy. (Figure 4) We know that Thomas Harriot observed the Moon with a six-powered instrument early in August 1609. But it was Galileo who made the instrument famous. He constructed his first three-powered spyglass in June or July 1609, presented an eight-powered instrument to the Venetian Senate in August, and turned a twenty-powered instrument to the heavens in October or November. With this instrument (Figure 5) he observed the Moon, discovered four satellites of Jupiter, and resolved nebular patches into stars. He published Sidereus Nuncius in March 1610.
Verifying Galileo's discoveries was initially difficult. In the spring of 1610 no one had telescopes of sufficient quality and power to see the satellites of Jupiter, although many had weaker instruments with which they could see some of the lunar detail Galileo had described in Sidereus Nuncius. Galileo's lead was one of practice, not theory, and it took about six months before others could make or obtain instruments good enough to see Jupiter's moons. With the verification of the phases of Venus by others, in the first half of 1611, Galileo's lead in telescope-making had more or less evaporated. The next discovery, that of sunspots, was made by several observers, including Galileo, independently.
As mentioned above, the telescopic effect can be achieved with different combinations of lenses and mirrors. As early as 1611, in his Dioptrice, Johannes Kepler had shown that a telescope could also be made by combining a convex objective and a convex ocular. He pointed out that such a combination would produce an inverted image but showed that the addition of yet a third convex lens would make the image erect again. This suggestion was not immediately taken up by astronomers, however, and it was not until Christoph Scheiner published his Rosa Ursina in 1630 that this form of telescope began to spread. In his study of sunspots, Scheiner had experimented with telescopes with convex oculars in order to make the image of the Sun projected through the telescope erect. 5 But when he happened to view an object directly through such an instrument, he found that, although the image was inverted, it was much brighter and the field of view much larger than in a Galilean telescope. Since for astronomical observations an inverted image is no problem, the advantages of what became known as the astronomical telescope led to its general acceptance in the astronomical community by the middle of the century.
The Galilean telescope could be used for terrestrial and celestial purposes interchangeably. This was not true for the astronomical telescope with its inverted image. Astronomers eschewed the third convex lens (the erector lens) necessary for re-inverting the image because the more lenses the more optical defects multiplied. In the second half of the seventeenth century, therefore, the Galilean telescope was replaced for terrestrial purposes by the "terrestrial telescope," which had four convex lenses: objective, ocular, erector lens, and a field lens (which enlarged the field of view even further).
With the acceptance of the astronomical telescope, the limit on magnification caused by the small field of view of the Galilean telescope was temporarily lifted, and a "telescope race" developed. Because of optical defects, the curvature of lenses had to be minimized, and therefore (since the magnification of a simple telescope is given roughly by the ratio of the focal lengths of the objective and ocular) increased magnification had to be achieved by increasing the focal length of the objective. Beginning in the 1640s, the length of telescopes began to increase. From the typical Galilean telescope of 5 or 6 feet in length, astronomical telescopes rose to lengths of 15 or 20 feet by the middle of the century. A typical astronomical telescope is the one made by Christiaan Huygens, in 1656. It was 23 feet long; its objective had an aperture of several inches, it magnified about 100 times, and its field of view was 17 arc-minutes.
Telescopes had now again reached the point where further increases in magnification would restrict the field of view of the instrument too much. This time another optical device, the field lens came to the rescue. Adding a third convex lens--of appropriate focal length, and in the right place--increased the field significantly, thus allowing higher magnifications. The telescope race therefore continued unabated and lengths increased exponentially. By the early 1670s, Johannes Hevelius had built a 140-foot telescope.
But such long telescopes were useless for observation: it was almost impossible to keep the lenses aligned and any wind would make the instrument flutter. After about 1675, therefore, astronomers did away with the telescope tube. The objective was mounted on a building or pole by means of a ball-joint and aimed by means of a string; the image was found by trial and error; and the compound eyepiece (field lens and ocular), on a little stand, was then positioned to receive the image cast by the objective. Such instruments were called aerial telescopes.
Although some discoveries were made with these very long instruments, this form of telescope had reached its limits. By the beginning of the eighteenth century very long telescopes were rarely mounted any more, and further increases of power came, beginning in the 1730s, from a new form of telescope, the reflecting telescope.
Since it was known that the telescopic effect could be achieved using a variety of combinations of lenses and mirrors, a number of scientists speculated on combinations involving mirrors. Much of this speculation was fueled by the increasingly refined theoretical study of the telescope. In his Dioptrique, appended to his Discourse on Method of 1637, Renè Descartes addressed the problem of spherical aberration, already pointed out by others. In a thin spherical lens, not all rays from infinity--incident parallel to the optical axis--are united at one point. Those farther from the optical axis come to a focus closer to the back of the lens than those nearer the optical axis. Descartes had either learned the sine law of refraction from Willebrord Snell (Snell's Law) 6 or had discovered it independently, and this allowed him to quantify spherical aberration. In order to eliminate it, he showed, lens curvature had to be either plano-hyperboloidal or spherico-ellipsoidal. His demonstration led many to attempt to make plano-hyperboloidal objectives, 7 an effort which was doomed to failure by the state of the art of lens-grinding. Others began considering the virtues of a concave paraboloidal mirror as primary receptor: it had been known since Antiquity that such a mirror would bring parallel incident rays to a focus at one point.
A second theoretical development came in 1672, when Isaac Newton published his celebrated paper on light and colors. Newton showed that white light is a mixture of colored light of different refrangibility: every color had its own degree of refraction. The result was that any curved lens would decompose white light into the colors of the spectrum, each of which comes to a focus at a different point on the optical axis. This effect, which became known as chromatic aberration, resulted in a central image of, e.g., a planet, being surrounded by circles of different colors. Newton had developed his theory of light several years before publishing his paper, when he had turned his mind to the improvement of the telescope, and he had despaired of ever ridding the objective of this defect. He therefore decided to try a mirror, but unlike his predecessors he was able to put his idea into practice. He cast a two-inch mirror blank of speculum metal (basically copper with some tin) and ground it into spherical curvature. He placed it in the bottom of a tube and caught the reflected rays on a 45° secondary mirror which reflected the image into a convex ocular lens outside the tube (see Figure 8). He sent this little instrument to the Royal Society, where it caused a sensation; it was the first working reflecting telescope. But the effort ended there. Others were unable to grind mirrors of regular curvature, and to add to the problem, the mirror tarnished and had to be repolished every few months, with the attending danger of damage to the curvature.
The reflecting telescope therefore remained a curiosity for decades. In second and third decades of the eighteenth century, however, the reflecting telescope became a reality in the hands of first James Hadley and then others. By the middle of the century, reflecting telescopes with primary mirrors up to six inches in diameter had been made. It was found that for large aperture ratios (the ratio of focal length of the primary to its aperture, as the f-ratio in modern cameras for instance), f/10 or more, the difference between spherical and paraboloidal mirrors was negligible in the performance of the telescope. In the second half of the eighteenth century, in the hands of James Short and then William Herschel, the reflecting telescope with parabolically ground mirrors came into its own.
