Wouldn't a good pancake compressor and a normal winch be a better option. That way you could remove the pancake, hoses, fittings, and tools when driving on a daily basis. On board air or a on board welder in a DD/weekend warrior is something that I just do not get.
The cooling aspect has already been mentioned, no big there though just need more powerful fans, and a higher amp alternator, those are both worth while upgrades anyway though. |

I had one. I liked it. The compressor is Awesome. I could have 2 vehicle's tires filled with air by the time it took me to fill up one tire with my cheapo Kmart special air compressor... That was the best part. The winch worked well too.
I am now running a winch and a portable compressor. The compressor is not as fast as the PP, but I can carry it inside for weight distribution, and not block the airflow. Craig |

Hot answers tagged weight
As an MMA fighter myself, who has had to cut as much as 13 kgs in as little as 8 weeks, I will say this: It is very possible to cut a lot of weight in short periods of time. However, it can be difficult and a test on you mentally and physically.
I was talking to a guy that claimed to have lost 20 kg in 6 weeks on a diet plan that he was give for this ...
It is not possible for one athelete to perform in two different weight categories in the same tournement, for the simple reason that weight categories don't overlap and there no longer is an "open" category.
A current list of weight categories is listed on wikipedia, and the same information is mentioned in a document on the IJF website. To quote the 2013 ...
There are plenty of guides to cutting weight out their on the internet. The best advice i can give you is to not try to cut to much. Personally, when i was fighting MMA, i didn't really cut weight. I would diet a little bit, but never got into the whole cut 15lbs of water weigth and hope to get properly hydrated in 24h. It's not good for your ...
Assuming you have no fat to lose, then you haven't really got anything to lose. (maybe get non essential organs removed :-) )
If you are on the edge, then water weight is what you have to lose.
Alternatively, avoid muscle. Given a lot of strength is about how many muscle fibers you can employ at the same time, not size of muscle cells ( you can't ...
The Wikipedia page on Judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics Qualification states (emphasis and italics mine):
The top 22 men or 14 women from the world rankings in each division
qualify, subject to a limit of 1 judoka per NOC (National Olympic
Committee) per division. Further continental quotas (Europe 25,
Africa 24, Pan-America 21, Asia 20 and Oceania ...
The most extreme weight-cutting I've heard of was Nate Green's Bigger/Smaller/Bigger experiment, where he gained 20lbs in 4 weeks, lost it all in 5 days, and gained most of it back in 1. Might be work a look, as the techniques are from John Berardi and Martin Rooney, who both train MMA fighters.

Some interesting things always come out at conferences, which is probably why so many folks still go to them, as opposed to some sort of virtual offering. It might be a big announcement from the search engines, an entertaining keynote speech, or a snippet of conversation over lunch, but some tidbit of information always makes you glad you went to the time and expense to participate.
One interesting thing that came out of SES San Jose's Duplicate Content and Multiple Site Issues session in August was the sheer volume of duplicate content on the Web. Ivan Davtchev, Yahoo's lead product manager for search relevance, said "more than 30 percent of the Web is made up of duplicate content."
At first I thought, "Wow! Three out of every 10 pages consist of duplicate content on the Web." My second thought was, "Sheesh, the Web is one tangled mess of equally irrelevant content." Small wonder trust and linkage play such significant roles in determining a domain's overall authority and consequent relevancy in the search engines.
Three Flavors of Bleh
Davtchev went on to explain three basic types of duplicate content:
Fortunately, Greg Grothaus from Google's search quality team had already addressed the duplicate content penalty myth, noting that Google "tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information."
It's common knowledge that Google uses a checksum-like method for initially filtering out replicated content. For example, most Web sites have a regular and print version of each article. Google only wants to serve up one copy of the content in its search results, which is predominately determined by linking prowess. Because most print-ready pages are dead-end URLs sans site navigation, it's relatively simply to equate which page Google prefers to serve up in its search results.
In exceptional cases of content duplication that Google perceives as an abusive attempt to manipulate rankings or deceive users, Google will "make appropriate adjustments" to the indexation and rankings of the sites involved, according to Grothaus. Even though Google doesn't consider dilution of link popularity a penalty, anyone who has been on the receiving end of this particular duplicate content issue might say otherwise.
Test and Tune
How do you know if duplicate content is an issue for your site? Simply run a couple of quick tests:
Because these are usually accidental duplicate content issues, remedies are relatively easy to apply to your site. Simply read and employ all the best practices delineated on the search engines Webmaster blogs and forums. Here are the big three:
If you make certain that you properly canonicalize your site, 301 (permanent) redirect any duplicate home page URLs to your canonical domain, use robots.txt to eliminate site level content duplication, use meta robots tags to purge page-level duplicate content, and use canonical tags to indicate preferred content, you can readily eliminate much of the duplicate content that was accidentally created.
Trust Me
It's really that simple to employ remedies for accidental content duplication. Build a site out of user-friendly URLs to optimize your branding efforts and usability while eliminating inefficient crawling, and your Web site will be well on its way to earning trust from the search engines.
If any of this is too complex for your circumstance, you might want to call in some professional assistance. If dodgy or abusive levels of duplicate content are issues for your Web site or network of sites, stop back here in a couple of weeks when we continue the conversation about duplicate content and the issues it creates in the search engines. Until then, keep testing and tuning your results.

Operation Summary for May 4, 2011 - May 6, 2011 |
Monday May 4 The day shift began with Operations monitoring Tevatron (TEV) store 8709 (118.25E30) and the Recycler stash (261.6E10), with the Antiproton Source (Pbar) stacking (10.7E10), with the Main Injector (MI), Linac, and Booster operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and Meson FTBF T-978 experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) using the colliding beams. During the day shift, FESS personnel reported at 8:26 AM that they were shutting off the Booster West Gallery air handler for maintenance work; they had completed their work within 15 minutes. TEV personnel began a hollow beam study. At 1:45 PM, the P1 transfer line beam permit tripped off when a quadrupole power supply (I:Q713) began tripping off due to excessive 60-hertz problems. During the evening shift, Operations terminated store 8709 at 4:50 PM and put the TEV into HEP shot setup. Operations disabled beam to T-978 at 4:53 PM. At 5:54 PM, a Linac Klystron RF station (KRF7) tripped off due to a LCW leak on its charging supply. Operators called in Linac personnel to investigate. Operations established store 8710 at 6:03 PM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 393.26E30. Linac personnel reported that they had repaired the LCW leak on KRF7 at 8:05 PM. Operations reported some short downtimes due to the MI-8 collimators, MRF5, BRF14, and a Lambertson (LAM42). Thursday May 5 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 8710 (159.93E30) and the stash (134.2E10), with Pbar stacking (11.5E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operators reported that a Booster vacuum pump (B:IP809) had tripped off. It would reset, but then immediately trip off again. Operators investigated and found two other downstream vacuum pumps off. Operators turned on all three pumps. Operations established beam to T-978 at 4:18 AM. Operations reported at 5:49 AM that MI-8 collimator beam positions were causing MiniBooNE trips; operators tuned beam positions. During the day shift, Operations terminated store 8710 at 11:09 AM. Operators prepared Booster for access to replace power amplifiers for BRF8 and BRF18 and to repair the gap monitor for BRF19. Operators prepared Linac for access to replace the power amplifier socket for LRF4 and to replace beam detectors on the berm and the Booster chute. Operators prepared D0 and CDF for access for detector maintenance. Linac and Booster completed their work and Operations resumed sending beam to MiniBooNE at 2:48 PM. By 2:52 PM, Operations had established beam to NuMI, T-978, and Pbar had resumed stacking. D0 and CDF came out of access. Operators put the TEV through a dry squeeze at 3:05 PM. During the evening shift, Operators put the TEV through a wet squeeze at 4:39 PM. Operations disabled beam to T-978 and put the TEV into shot setup at 5:07 PM. Operations established store 8714 at 6:15 PM with an AIL of 376.3E30. At 10:55 PM, MIRF7 tripped off and wouldn't reset. Operators bypassed the station. Friday May 6 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 8714 (149.11E30) and the stash (156.7E10), with Pbar stacking (20.1E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, at 12:48 AM, the MI gap clearing kicker tripped off; they reset. Operations established beam to T-978 at 4:22 AM. At 5:29 AM, a TEV sector B1 air compressor tripped off; operators reported that its air dryer was stuck venting. Operators isolated the air dryer. The Plans for Friday and the Weekend The plans for today and the weekend are to stack, stash, and store. However, the Run Coordinator will allow cryo system personnel to replace a wet engine flywheel at F2 after store 8714 is terminated this morning; he will also allow a D0 access. Other work will be tied in with this 90-minute downtime. After the next store goes in, which should be around 3 PM, the Run Coordinator will allow MI personnel an access to fill their Fluorinert system and to replace a power amplifier for MIRF7. Booster personnel will conduct a study and bring BRF8 online today. MTA will take beam this afternoon. |

Home Source International to Open U.S. Plant
Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, August 1, 2012
ATLANTA - Home Source International will build a plant in Marianna, Fla., for cut-and-sew home textiles operations and to manufacture furniture and lighting for its recent acquisition, Shiner International.
The 300,000-square-foot facility will support Home Source's retail and hospitality accounts with shorter lead times, quicker turnaround, smaller minimums and more flexible supply chain logistics and replenishment, according to Keith Sorgeloos, Home Source president and ceo.
"We are proud to once again bring 'Crafted with Pride in the USA' back to these industries, as well as the people who once earned their living manufacturing home textiles and furnishings," said Sorgeloos. "Home Source looks forward to many years of success in building a business and community the old-fashioned way . . . supporting 'Made in USA' and American jobs."
The plant is expected to open this summer.
The company worked with the State of Florida, the Jackson County Development Council, the City of Marianna and Enterprise Florida to develop the project.
"After recently visiting more than 15 rural counties statewide, I know how important these jobs are to Jackson County," said Governor Rick Scott. "Home Source International's choice of Florida's Great Northwest demonstrates that all of our communities are competitive, regardless of their size and population. It also shows that Florida possesses the talent, resources and business climate to encourage companies to expand and create jobs in our state."

PDAP is funded by the Wyoming Legislature and is administered through the Wyoming Department of Health, Division of Healthcare Financing, Pharmacy Services.
Client eligibility for the program is determined by the client's local Department of Family Services (DFS) office:
Effective June 1, 2003
AIDS drugs were no longer covered because the Aids Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) covered all AIDS drugs.
Effective July 1, 2003
A cap on new enrollments in the program was instituted. Clients currently eligible were continued in the program provided they completed their yearly review with DFS and still met eligibility criteria.
Effective July 1, 2004
Begin implementation of the new asset test upon annual review.
Effective July 1, 2006
The program cap on new enrollments was lifted due to the shift of those clients eligible for Medicare Part D Prescription Services beginning January 1, 2006.
Three (3) prescriptions per month, with a $10 co-pay for generics and a $25 co-pay for brand-name drugs.
Same as for Wyoming Medicaid—a comprehensive listing can be found at http://www.epocrates.com.
The Preferred Drug List can be found at http://wyequalitycare.org
The Wyoming Medicaid Pharmacy Program will not cover the following Legend Drugs:
• Anorexiant products• Androgenic or Anabolic steroids used for weight gain• Agents used to promote fertility• Acne agents for clients who are 21 years of age or older• Agents used for the stimulation of hair growth • Erectile Dysfunction medications• DESI, as well as similar, related or identical drugs considered to be less effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)• Compound prescriptions, which include a DESI drug, will deny (refer to Compound Drugs section of the Medicaid Pharmacy Provider manual for instructions on billing non-DESI ingredients.) • Promethazine for children 2 years of age and younger• Orphan drugs• Medications not approved by the FDA
Some medications require prior authorization. Additional information may be found by clicking on the Preferred Drug List/Prior Authorization (PDL/PA) menu tab on the Office of Pharmacy Services home page.
For additional information on product coverage, including over-the-counter products, please refer to our provider manual at http://wyequalitycare.org.
Beginning January 1, 2006, new Medicare prescription drug plans became available to people with Medicare. Insurance companies will work with Medicare to offer these drug plans, which are different from the Medicare-approved drug discount cards. Medicare prescription drug plans provide insurance coverage for prescription drugs. All drug plans will provide at least a standard level of coverage, which Medicare has set, but could offer more coverage and additional drugs for a higher monthly premium. When a person joins a drug plan, it is important to choose one that meets the person's prescription drug needs.
The Department highly recommends that PDAP clients enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, as this is a much better benefit than that offered through PDAP. To enroll in a Medicare plan, call 1-800-Medicare (1-800-438-5785) or visit their website at www.medicare.gov.
For PDAP clients who are NOT eligible for Medicare, benefits will continue as usual.

The Walam Olum of Constantine Rafinesque, 1836
Constantine Rafinesque
The document, which described the peopling of North America, was long considered to be authentic and historically important. It was not until 1996 that the researcher David Oestreicher exposed it as a hoax. Based on an examination of Rafinesque's papers, Oestreicher concluded that Rafinesque had first translated the text from English into Lenape, rather than from Lenape into English, meaning that the Lenape document was a forgery.
The reason Rafinesque created this hoax, Oestreicher argued, was partly out of a desire for fame and recognition. Rafinesque may also have been inspired by Joseph Smith's then recent translation of the Mormon Bible from golden tablets inscribed with ancient Egyptian which he claimed to have found in upstate New York. Rafinesque had publicly denounced the Mormon Bible as a hoax, but viewing its success, he may either have decided to attempt something similar himself, or he may have been trying to cast doubt on the Mormon assertion that Native Americans had descended from Hebrew tribes.

Taylor Lautner Quotes
While Twilight was all about Edward Cullen (and Robert Pattinson!), Jacob/Taylor is set to rule New Moon. Check out these exclusive quotes, where the film's leading guy dishes on Jacob's biggest mistake ever and getting naked on set.
Then get more of Taylor from our Twilight interviews, quizzes, games and trivia.
Heating Up Between Scenes
"Usually it's freezing outside [in Vancouver, where New Moon was filmed]. Most of the time I'm not really wearing many clothes, so as soon as I'm done filming, I will go into a heated tent and bundle myself up in a lot of clothes and just try to stay warm until I have to go back and get naked again and film."
His New Physique
"Jacob increasingly grows throughout the series, so as soon as I'm done with this I'm going to start working again. Maybe put on a little bit more weight, but when the series is done, I'm definitely going to lean out a bit and not be as bulky."
Shaking It Up
"At one point, my body fat was really, really low, and we needed to increase it to be able to put muscle on, so my trainer was like, go to McDonald's, get the biggest shake possible just so we can pack on 1,000 calories."
Chilling on Set
"When I had downtime on set, which was not often, I would be walking around and hanging out with the crew. I would just be all over the place. I'd be in the hair and makeup trailer, I'd be in the grips' trailer, I'd be everywhere, because I really loved the crew on this set."
Taylor's Favorite Book Is...
"I would probably have to say Eclipse. I love that all three of them (Edward, Bella, and Jacob) are together. Twilight sets up Edward and Bella's relationship, New Moon sets up Jacob and Bella's, and Eclipse is about the three of them. Just the constant tension going on between Jacob and Edward is hilarious, and Bella's being drawn between the two guys."
In His Pocket
"I usually always have my iPod with me. It's a black iPod Touch. My music taste changes so much, it's all across the board. It never stays the same!"
Jacob's Flaw
"There's not a lot, because I really do like him. But the only thing, and this is what all the fans would say, is in Eclipse, when he pushes himself onto Bella and forces her to kiss him. That wasn't such a good move, but it's okay it's one mistake, and he learned from it."
His Idol
"I've always looked up to Denzel Washington as an actor. I love Man on Fire, with Dakota [Fanning]!
Getting Jacob's Height
"It's just little tricks: There's camera angles, there's different sized platforms like up on a hill
just little things, and they help."
Stunt Work
"It was awesome! I got to do almost all of my own stunts. I love the stunts, so to be able to have that opportunity was incredible. The transformation [scenes] were really cool because they put me up on wires, and I would run and take a big leap in the air and be swung 10 feet in the air, sometimes even higher. And then they would jerk me so I'd have to stop and hold a pose. And that was so they could do the CGI, where they take my body and transform it into the wolf's."

Dear Friends,
Thank you for visiting my legislative website. It is my honor to serve the citizens of the 11th Senate District in the Illinois General Assembly. On this website, you can learn a little bit about me, my record in the General Assembly, and the services I can provide you.
Right now, my top priorities are bringing more jobs to 11th Legislative District, finding a responsible solution to our current budget situation, and putting an end to business as usual in Springfield.
I will continue to work to cut costs for students attending college. The cost of higher education in Illinois has grown astronomical over the past decade, increasingly due to administrative salaries. In light of this, I have and will continue to sponsor initiatives which are aimed at providing students with an affordable quality college education.
Two measures that I will continue to fight for include freezing tuition and fee rates for students at the 2010-2011 level. To take this one step further, I will continue working to require that university tuition levels be set by the General Assembly and cannot be increased unless a law is passed to do so.
I always welcome feedback from my constituents, so if you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me. Check the Constituent Services section of my website to learn about upcoming events.
