Best Time to Visit
September through April, Phoenix enjoys mild and pleasant weather. Autumn is perhaps the best time to visit, although if you visit in the spring you will be able to witness the many festivals that are held around that time.
Autumn and Spring time sees pleasant days with temperatures in the 70-80°F range, sometimes up to 90. After sundown however the temperature can drop and occasionally may even go down as far as freezing in the very early hours.
The occasional rain shower or cloudy day can also be expected at this time of year. However when you consider that Arizona boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year, chances are the clouds will not last long.
Those who are brave enough to visit in the summer (July thru August) can expect temperatures above 100°F (38°C) for weeks at a time, it is not uncommon for the temperature to hit 110°F (43°C) in midsummer.
The common expression; and you will see it on bumper stickers t-shirts and so on is "Arizona - it's a dry heat". Well dry it may be but the month of August is HOT. Think what it is like when you open an oven door and you are standing too close and you will have some idea. The heat takes your breath away, with almost zero humidity. Even so if you are out in it for too long it becomes tiring. You will find that most residents tend to do very little outside at this time until sundown.

Tuesday, Will Muschamp gave his pre-spring press conference. It ran quite long and covered a number of topics. One of those topics, as Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reported, was Florida's disappointing pro day (the Gators only expect to have two players drafted).
Perhaps looking to put Florida's six-loss season into context after taking over what many considered to be a team loaded with talent after several highly-rated recruiting classes by Urban Meyer, Muschamp seemed to take a shot at Meyer. From Lieser's article:
Without any provocation, Muschamp brought up the fact that Florida had nine players drafted following the 2006 championship season and another nine after 2009.
"We need to do a better job recruiting, need to do a better job evaluating, need to do a better job developing our players and coaching, that's the bottom line," he said. "We need more guys involved in that, and that self evaluation sometimes is a hard thing... but that's the facts, and that's the way it is."
Florida definitively brought in talented players during Meyer's last two full recruiting classes, so perhaps what Muschamp is specifically referring to is the evaluation of intangibles, an often overlooked aspect of recruiting. It's no secret that Meyer struggled to deal with the attitude and sense of entitlement of some of his younger players during his latter years in Gainesville.
Muschamp inherited those young players and has previously called out Florida for a lack of mental toughness. Why did Meyer's latter recruits not have the same success as his former players? It could be any number of factors, including dumb luck, staff turnover leading to a change in evaluators, or perhaps complacency. Toward the end of his run, Meyer was competing against an aging Bobby Bowden and Randy Shannon, meaning he could basically have his pick o' the litter in Florida. That's pretty much unheard of in the state. Since he was getting all the athletic freaks that the Sunshine State had to offer, perhaps Meyer focused too much on physical skills and didn't feel the need to get into the intangibles as much.
Ultimately, we'll likely never know why Meyer's latter recruits haven't reached the same heights as the players during the early part of his tenure at Florida.
For Muschamp's part, he seems to be concerned with letting fans and boosters know that Florida is in rebuilding mode, as opposed to the typical reloading done in Gainesville. On the recruiting trail, Muschamp is well on his way, as his first full recruiting class was given a consensus top-five grade. And the Gators are primed for another top-five class in the 2013 cycle, with 10 recruits already pledging to come to Gainesville.

FRIDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay Information) — Folks with the skin condition psoriasis may be at increased danger for heart failure and must be screened for heart condition, specialists say.
Researchers seemed at healthcare knowledge on all adults in Denmark. They discovered that men and women with psoriasis are more prone to create coronary heart failure and that the threat of heart failure rises as psoriasis will get far more significant.
"Our results underline the importance of standard analysis and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis," stated research lead author Dr. Usman Khalid. Chronic inflammation — a ingredient of the two coronary heart failure and psoriasis — may possibly be the website link between the two, he extra.
Psoriasis impacts one hundred twenty five million individuals around the world. It is a lifelong dysfunction that brings about pink, scaly patches on the pores and skin.
"Psoriasis must be regarded a systemic inflammatory illness that has an effect on the entire entire body, relatively than an isolated skin lesion," Khalid described. "Clinicians must contemplate early screening and therapy of cardiovascular threat variables in patients with psoriasis — such as obesity, smoking and a sedentary way of life — in get to lessen the prolonged-phrase threat of cardiovascular ailment and dying."
Educating patients with psoriasis about the association in between their skin problem and heart illness is key to encouraging them to undertake heart wholesome behaviors, Khalid additional.
The research was offered at a latest European Society of Cardiology meeting in Amsterdam. Conclusions introduced at conferences generally are deemed preliminary till published in a peer-reviewed healthcare journal.
Despite the fact that the analysis found an association among psoriasis and enhanced chance for heart failure, it did not necessarily prove a trigger-and-influence romantic relationship.

3 Simple Tips to Retain RSS Feed Subscribers for your Blog
Anyways, the joy of blogging increases once we begin to notice positives out of it. Isn't it a great feeling when you see something happening and paying your positively? There are many ways to notice this development on your blogs and one of the top being your RSS feed subscribers. You want them. Isn't it? Nothing excites me more than to see those feed count go up and up forever. I don't know how many of us are able to do that but once you get them, you don't want to lose them at any cost. As per my observation, it is easy to get RSS feed subscribers for your blog but it really can be tough to retain those subscribers and bring down the un-subscription rate. But anyways, nothing is impossible and in this case, you just have see that your blog is focused upon providing your subscribers with the best value so that they have a reason to stick around.
One of the most important things to remember for any blogger who wishes to retain RSS feed subscribers is to make sure that you have a great design for your blog which is kept consistent throughout. Consistency in your blog design is one of the prime factors which influences people to subscribe or unsubscribe from your blog feed. Changing your blog template too often can result in people un-subscribing as no one likes to see frequent changes. This could become a bigger issue if your site is several years old or more. Yes, it is your site. You can do anything with it but please beware of the consequences….
Another thing you must avoid doing is to include affiliate links in your blog posts. Surely, it gives you an option to make money online but honestly, your feed subscribers don't appreciate it much. Instead of being taken otherwise, you should concentrate more on providing good quality content in your posts. Too many affiliate links in your blog posts can lead to a rapid decline in RSS feed subscribers.

Nice tips Aswani. I know that some reader don't appreciate affiliate link much, however many top blogger with 30k+ subscribers use affiliate link within the content too.
In my view if you give away for free quality content and nice tips that could help them with their site I think they will appreciate your site anyway. It is a win-win strategy. In one hand you win because can get some commission, on the other hand your readers win because get free valuable content.
Happy New Yeaer, Aswani. And your reason is well taken, I don't normally blog on weekends too, well maybe with a few exceptions.
Anyhow, your post made me think about a few blogs I had unsubscribed last year. It was really a painful decision because as much I'd like to keep up, it's becoming impossible with their daily posting. The problem is at my part, because I couldn't read all of them. I was actually hoping they could provide a newsletter for their weekly posts so I can glance through and select the ones I really like to read. Maybe it's something to think about for prolific bloggers, you think?
Have a great year!

Swimmer Will follows in footsteps of Olympian sister Sam
5:03pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Sport By Steve Tinniswood, Sports reporter
WILL Murray is following in the slipstream of his Olympic medal winning sister after starring in an international swimming event.
The younger brother of Sam Murray (right) – who won silver in the modern pentathlon at London 2012 – struck gold himself at a home nations swimming gala in Sunderland. Competing for England in the WISE (Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England) Schools International, Murray stormed to victory in the Boys 100m Freestyle in a new personal best time of 54.47secs. The 15-year-old Bowland High School pupil also helped the boys' medley and freestyle relay teams to victory as England went on to win the fixture.
Murray, who is a member of Clitheroe Dolphins, is now expected to be selected to represent Great Britain schools in Brazil next year.
And there was more good news for the Murray household as 13-year-old Oliver, who also goes to Bowland High School, impressed in the British Modern Triathlon Championships in Solihull. The event combines swimming with shooting and running – three of the disciplines in the Modern Pentathlon – and Oliver and club-mate Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil, Hannah Procter, aged 11, have been inspired by Sam's success.
Oliver finishing in 12th place in the Youth C Boys category while Hannah – competing in only her second competition and after only five shooting lessons – finished in 16th place in the Youth D Girls category.

Hey, look! It's not football news!
Internet Video ($$$): Miami Pay-per-View (boo!)
Internet Radio: Lady Vols Network (free! yay!)
Live Stats: Miami won't post the link until start time (boo!). It'll be posted on this page
The Lady Vols are in Miami today to take on another ranked ACC team on their own turf. After the opening loss to Chattanooga, Tennessee rebounded with an impressive road win over then-ranked Georgia Tech, and now they face #23 Miami. Wonder guards Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams have graduated, but the Hurricanes still have plenty of talent, thanks to terrific efforts by coach Katie Meier to build the program into a perennially ranked team. The team will be led by three seniors: 6'-6" center Shawnice Wilson, who will be the first quality tower that Tennessee faces this year; 6'-1" senior forwrd Morgan Stroman, who leads the team with 6.5 rebounds per game this season; and 5'-8" guard Stefanie Yderstrom, the Swedish point guard who runs the offense in place of the graduated Shenise and Riquna combo.
Miami will learn a lot about themselves today as well. Their season started with a laugher against North Florida, which they followed up with a closer-than-they-wanted 69-63 win over Richmond on the road. Continuing Meier's tendency for high-paced play, they have had turnover issues (18 against North Florida and 24 against Richmond) but have caused a lot of turnovers on their own. Miami will likely try to press Tennessee into mistakes to gain transition points, and will likely be willing to risk a significant number of fouls to do so. But once they're in a halfcourt offense, Miami does not often look for the three-point shot and prefers to work inside. In response, Tennessee's guards will have to maintain ball control when bringing the ball up court, and the interior players will be called on to anchor the Lady Vol defense when Miami has the ball. We may see a significant amount of zone defense to deny entry passes and force Miami to attempt three point shots.
In three games of action so far, Tennessee has shown two characters. The nervous, low-energy team lost to Chattanooga. The confident, high-energy team ran Georgia Tech and Rice off the court. It's still too early to say definitively that the UT-C game was the fluke, but a solid win tonight would tip the needle very heavily in that direction.
Tennessee will likely start with Andraya Carter at the point, Meighan Simmons at the 2, Cierra Burdick at 3, Bashaara Graves at the 4, and Isabelle Harrison at the point. It's a combination that has worked well for Tennessee this year, and seems to be the starting rotation that we'll see for most of the year at this point. (It does remain to be seen, however, if Ariel Massengale regains the starting spot once she's back in full form.) All in all, the Lady Vols are much younger than Miami and will have to keep their youth from becoming a liability. Offensively, the guards are key; if Carter, Massengale, Simmons, and Williams can successfully bring the ball up court, Tennessee can work their halfcourt offense and put Miami at the disadvantage.
The first prediction of the year: Tennessee 83, Miami 67.

By MIKE STOBBEAP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Health officials say they found fecal bacteria in more than half of the water samples taken from Atlanta-area public swimming pools last summer.
Investigators found the gut bacteria in 58% of the samples taken from about 150 pools in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. They were gathered from municipal pools or pools at waterparks, apartment complexes and clubs.
Municipal pools - where young children in diapers are common - were worst, with 70% of samples tainted.
No illness outbreaks were tied to the pools.
Proper chlorine and pH levels should kill bacteria. But health officials advise people to shower before the pool, and not swim if they have diarrhea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Thursday.

More plays for more tastes: Let's Put On A Show joins local drama company tribe
Marco Island has gestated a third company with footlight dreams, but this one calls Naples home
Marco Island actor/directors Scott Lilly and Kevin Moriarty have founded a production company, Let's Put On A Show Productions, the second one to appear in Marco in the last three years and the third founded on the island.
Its organizers, Scott Lilly and Kevin Moriarity, have been involved in the Marco Island theatrical scene for several years. They worked together on the Marco Players production of "Baggage" and the Island Theater Company (then the Island Players) production of "I'm Herbert ... and Other Strangers." The pair codirected the Island Theater Company comedy "Queen of Bingo" this May.
The new company's inaugural production, Texas child beauty-contest comedy "Pageant Play," will not play on Marco, however. It's set to run in late February at the 50-150-seat Golden Gate Community Center auditoriume. Further, the fledgling company considers Naples as its base.
"Let's Put On A Show Productions," according to its website, "was founded to provide a highly creative environment in which professional artists and artists in training are encouraged and welcomed to broaden their craft through new and established works. 'Let's Put On A Show Productions' is seeking to explore more alternative and contemporary plays along with more established pieces."
"We're not knocking Neil Simon, but we're not interested in that," explained Moriarity in a phone interview Wednesday.
"We (are) very interested in the more contemporary playwrights, such as Tom Dudzick, "Don't talk to the Actors," Douglas Carter Beane — who wrote both "As Bees In Honey Drown" and "The Little Dog Laughed" — (and) Annie Baker — "Circle Mirror Transformation," "Gina Giofriddo," "Becky Shaw," said Moriarity, responding later to emailed questions.
"We are very grassroots, and our idea is to bring affordable, contemporary and established pieces to people that may not necessarily go see plays, some folks that may not be exposed to the arts. And of course those regular theatergoers, but at a price that they can have dinner, see the show and not spend a lot of money."
Its debut production,"Pageant Play," is a sendup of kiddie competitions by Matthew Wilkas and Mark Setlock. It is scheduled to run for eight performances from Feb. 15 to March 2. All performances start at 7:30 p.m.
Auditions for "Pageant Play" will take place from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14, and Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Golden Gate Community Center, 4701 Golden Gate Parkway. Roles are available for two men and two women ages 20-50.
Find more information on the Let's Put On A Show website (letsputonashowproductions.com/) and its Facebook page.
The toughest task so far has been marshaling money and resources, said Lilly in an email.
"As with all start up companies, it's always a challenge, as Kevin mentioned we are very grassroots, and we're investing our own money and doing the best we can with what we have so far. We are very optimistic that it will all pay off in the end.
"If there are any groups out there that would like to donate any lights, mixing boards etc., let us know, we'll come and pick it up! We'll take pretty much anything right now!"
Let's Put On A Show will be the fifth new company founded in the past three years. They join, in order, Shakespeare in Paradise, Naples; the Island Theater Company, Marco Island; and City Scenes and Ghostbird, both in Fort Myers.
Even established, oftentimes critically acclaimed companies like the Lab Theater (5 years), Gulfshore Playhouse (7 years) and TheatreZone (8 years) are relative youngsters, founded after 2000.
Also during the past five years, at least three companies have quietly folded: Pelican Players (Naples) and Stage 88 (originating in Naples, moving to Bonita Springs) and Neighborhood Theatre Co, (North Naples). The Naples Dinner Theatre was shuttered in 2007, its land now occupied by storage units. A fifth company, Naples City Improv, is on an indefinite hiatus.

I would recommend if it is possible (probably not) to request being on Ted's bus. His vast knowledge (32 years in the biz) of his country kept us entertained and educated us all. I probably know more about NZ now than some New Zealanders. The tour was a great way to see the country when you have little knowledge of what is worth seeing. I absolutely recommend doing both Islands. The 17 day tour was excellent. The 20 day tour would have been worth the extra time and money if I chose that as well. If you must choose to do only one island, I would choose the South Island. Most of the exciting scenery was there. If you opt to book the farm stay like I did, you will not be able to do any of the other optional excursions offered that day in Rotorua (including the trip to the Hobbiton movie set) The couple we stayed with were wonderful people, but I would have preferred to join my friends on the other excursion. Also, it was not possible to change once you are on the tour since you are not booked in the hotel for that night. The Maori Hangi feast and welcome ceremony was great fun and well worth doing, even if you are only doing the Southern Spectacular and you do it as an additional excursion in Queenstown. The Speights brewery tour is a great, inexpensive side excursion in Dunedin. Well worth the price of the admission, the tour and the beer at the end are each worth the $25NZ. My guide Ted was happy to arrange a bungee jump excursion for 2 ladies on the tour. This was not on the list of excursions, but easily available in Queenstown. If there is something you want to do outside the scope of the tour that fits within the schedule, they are more than happy to help you arrange it. The only thing I can think of that was even slightly negative was the initial confusion caused by the fact that this is operated as an AAT Kings tour (owned by the same company). This was just a little confusing at the start, since there was no notation to this effect anywhere on my itinerary. Not a big deal and it was cleared up with an email to Trafalgar. This was a great trip that I would recommend to anyone!" - Stephen, February 2013 View Itinerary Book Now or See more reviews Search Holidays for more reviews Back to top

Tactic 6
Staying on Plane
When you're caught in shallow water, the best thing to do can be to keep going and stay on plane, until you reach deeper water.
Sometimes if you find yourself running through water that seems too shallow for your boat, the best thing to do is keep going. When your boat is on plane, it is riding on the V toward the transom, and the prop and drive are elevated. When a boat falls off plane, the forefoot now comes into play and the boat's full displacement takes effect, meaning it will sit deeper in the water. Also, increased lift occurs in water depth equal to your boat's draft. You can feel the boat "rise" as you head over the shoal. However, this is a tactic best used when you know the water, not in an unfamiliar area.
Even if you keep the boat on plane, your first instinct may be to slow down. But sometimes, it pays off to go faster. Take a look at how a bass boat flies on plane. At high speeds it's running on nothing but a small delta pad and almost the entire drive is out of the water — everything but the prop. Conversely, riding at slower speeds tends to make your boat squat, digging deeper in the water. The higher your bow is riding, the deeper the stern.
Going fast can get you into trouble, like with the speedster we saw slam the sandbar, but if you know the water's deep enough to stay on plane and you have a clear path back to the channel, keeping your speed could be the key to escape.
Run & Gun
1. Maintain your speed to keep the hull and drives as high in the water as possible.
2. Trim the engines to the boat's performance sweet spot to help the hull release.
3. Running on plane in shallow water increases your boat's lift, decreasing draft for running.
Tactic 7
Tabbing Down
Most people associate trim tabs with improving a boat's ride in rough seas or correcting a list, but they're also great tools for shallow water situations. When climbing onto plane, dropping the tabs pulls the bow down to plow through the hump rather than climb over it, so the boat keeps a more level attitude. It's less efficient but it will keep your skeg and prop a few extra inches off the bottom.

The Word: Simon Cowell 'proud to be a dad'
Simon Cowell spoke publicly for the first time yesterday about the child he's expecting with Lauren Silverman.
"I'm very proud to be a dad," he told the BBC.
He added, "It's something I hadn't thought of before, but now I know I feel good about it. … She's a very special girl."
That's quite an about-face from the guy who once said in 2009, "God, no, I couldn't have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I'd go nuts. You've got to be up at a certain time. Got to listen when all you want to do is sit in a corner thinking."
But the imminent pitter-patter of little feet is enough to soften even the biggest showbiz grump. Especially if the pitter-patter is issuing unexpectedly from the womb of his ex-best friend's wife. Then he'd better get on the softie train real quick.
Who cheats on the vision that is Carmen Electra? None other than Simon Cowell.
According to E! News, Electra caught him with the married Lauren Silverman, who is reportedly pregnant with his baby. "Carmen was at Simon's house in L.A. when she literally busted him with Lauren," a source says. "Simon called her a friend, but there was nothing platonic about what was going on, if you know what I mean."

Browns QB Colt McCoy was wearing a walking boot on his left leg after Cleveland's 24-20 loss at Jacksonville Sunday, multiple media outlets reported. McCoy had X-rays on his left ankle after the game, according to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.
McCoy completed 17-of-28 passes for 241 yards with one TD and one interception against the Jaguars, but he was sacked six times, and he apparently suffered the injury after being sacked in the third quarter, according to the Plain Dealer, which reported that McCoy said X-rays were inconclusive on the injury.
The way we see it
If McCoy were to miss any playing time, the Browns would turn to either Seneca Wallace or Jake Delhomme. Wallace was the top backup in Week 11, with Delhomme the No. 3 quarterback.
Quarterbacks dealing with ankle injuries is nothing new for the Browns. Delhomme began the season as the starter before suffering a high ankle sprain, with Wallace taking over for him for the next four games before suffering an ankle injury of his own. Delhomme re-injured his ankle in relief of Wallace in Week Five, giving McCoy a chance to play.

What a painting "means" is useless and has likely always been so.
The new freedom will be to own our own experience of what is being viewed. The notion that anyone can "know" what the artist intended is preposterous. All the knowledge in the world about what was in the artist's mind can never get you inside the artists head.
My own paintings have never been about what I had to say or what I was trying to communicate---they have always been about the viewer having their own experience---whatever that might be---and owning that experience.

Dec 8 2012: o.k.now...the real question is...about the viewer and their own experience...and owning,it ,maybe owning one of your paintings if you sell them..i am guessing now....so what do your paintings look like ? and I will try to imagine my point of view....which luckily imagination is my specialty....(not spelling) and does that mean no mater what I see you will feel proud that I made the attempt..no matter what I say is my personal view?If so I am willing to risk telling you what I think...but maybe you dont care,or it is uninteresting to you...I myself am utilitarian so I see everything as useful and connected and care alot...I have a hard time disconnecting..so being careful with my crafts means I hurt others less and ultimately I do less harm to my own wide open psyche....there seems to be no way to observe extensively without sucking up all the surrounding data.
Dec 8 2012: Carolyn, your experience of my paintings would just be your own experience---how could I have a problem with that :) Art lives on long after we die and people still have experiences with it---the presence or opinion of the artist certainly does not matter then and most likely does not really matter now. Could my feelings be hurt? Possibly but that has more to do with me than the viewer and is not what we are talking about. If you want to see what my work is like you can easily find it by googling my name + "art." Art, like love, just is---as soon as we give it reasons it ends.
Dec 9 2012: Oh why make it difficult :)

Ayrshires Crumbling Roads
For a considerable time now South Ayrshire Council have neglected spending money on much needed road repairs. Potholes are appearing everywhere and costing the motorist unnecessary repair costs. Recent letters in the local paper highlight public concern, but the council have hinted that the roads will get worse because there isn't the money to spend on repairs. Enough is enough, it is now time to act. Funding must be found somewhere to stop further decay of our roads. Please sign this petition to demonstrate your concern.

Semi-dwarf on Cunningham rootstock.
Zones: 10 (all other zones protect from freezing temperatures)
Fruit: Also known as Bartender's Lime, Tahitian Lime, and Persian Lime. It is the most widely used lime because it is seedless, with great flavor.
Facts of note: Cold hardy, attractive tree produces an abundance of fruit. It is less thorny and more cold hardy than other limes. Developed by John T. Bearss in Potterville, California. Container adaptable and can be grown indoors.
Add a little zest to your garden! Citrus trees are potted, evergreen, semi-dwarf, 1 ½-years-old, pencil caliper, 18"-24" tall from the bottom of the pot to the top of the tree. They will, with good care, produce fragrant, self-pollinating flowers and wonderful fruit. Height 8'–12', but can be pruned to suit in ground or in containers. Choose a sunny location, in well drained soil, sheltered from wind. They are affected by below freezing temperatures, and in many locales require cold protection. Most tender to most hardy: Bearss Lime, lemons, orange, tangelo, grapefruit, mandarin, kumquat. Non-taxable. These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not.

We all know kids get into all kinds of things and then rub their face or eyes. The American Red Cross said, especially during flu season, it's important to teach kids proper hand washing techniques and that includes singing.
Singing nursery rhymes won't ward off the nasty flu, but the Red Cross said when you add soap and water, you might be able to prevent it. The key to get children to wash effectively is have them sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or "Happy Birthday" a few times. The Red Cross said it will ensure children wash their hands for least 20 seconds, which is the recommended time limit to get rid of those nasty germs.
The Red Cross has teamed up with National Sanitation Foundation International to create "The Scrub Club" website. They said its purpose is to give parents and other caregivers materials to teach children the importance of washing hands to prevent illness.
The Red Cross said hands aren't the only things that need to be continually cleaned. Bedside tables, bathrooms, kitchen counters and kid toys should also be routinely disinfected.
Here's a link to "The Scrub Club" website: http://www.scrubclub.org.

For some people, warm air reminds them that trips to the beach are just around the corner. For others, it signals the start of burly men swinging large wooden clubs and running around in the dirt. For me, it brings to mind growling exhaust notes, the smell of hot rubber, and the sound of squealing tires. It reminds me that autocross season is not far away.
And so it was in late February of this year. We had a short run of unseasonably warm days and, for that brief moment, racing didn't seem so distant.
It got me to thinking about the first time I took part in an auto-x and I started to consider some of the advice I would give to someone in my position back then: a novice on a tight budget. This, I thought, was worth sharing with my adoring readers.
So, in honor of impending spring weather, here are five recommendations for gear and apparel that I would give to the first-timer or novice on a tight budget: Continue reading »

Hello Martin,
Personally, I can hardly wait. There are so many cool new gigapans that would make Google Earth browsing even more exciting.

Furthermore, there is no map on gigapan.com too ! Also you remove updated kml with all gigapans for Google Earth.

The Gigapan layer in GE comprises 300 images that were hand-picked by someone. Google did not want just anyone to add their images to the layer because some of them were not very good and Google didn't want those to be seen. And at the time, CMU couldn't afford to pay someone to go through the images to choose the best ones.
The intention behind geocoding your image was not to get it included in the Gigapan layer, but to allow you to see your image in GE. At one time there was a link that gave you a KML file that contained all the geocoded gigapans in GE, but this was different from GE's Gigapan Layer.
My friends and I complained about the KML with all gigapans being removed many times but they never responded (not CMU nor the old GigapanSystem management, nor the new one). I suspect that the reason it was removed (or it broke and was not reinstated) is that there are now so many geocoded gigapans (over 30,000) that if you make a KML containing them all, the file is huge and it crashes Google Earth (or at least makes it run so slowly that it is unusable).
So. I wrote my own. Try it here. http://www.kilgore.org.uk/cgi-bin/surfing/surfe…

Does anyone at all in Portland understand how important fixing this "bug" is to all of us users (especially those who regularly geocode our GigaPans)? Do you have any idea what goodwill you'd reap if you could make a functioning Google Earth viewer page for all geotagged GigaPans? I love what Kilgore661 has done and I use it regularly, but as nice as it is, it's no excuse for GigaPan Systems not getting its act together and working HARD with Google to get the Google Earth GigaPan layer updated, or at the very least, a functioning KML link and/or dedicated embedded Google Earth viewer with all of the geocoded GigaPans.
Mind you, there's a lot more geo-type functionality I'd really like to see, but this plea is aimed simply at the most basic functionality. I bet if you put your minds and coders to it you could have a functioning embedded Google Earth viewer with all geotagged GigaPans (or at least a large subset of them) up by week's end. Give it the old college try!

To my mind this is another example of GS not thinking straight about what to do with the web site. They have an amazing back catalogue of over 85,000 images which they are doing nothing to exploit. Surely, being able to see your images in GE or surf the world of gigapans in GE is a core expectation of members (as per http://www.gigapan.com/forums/13/topics/509)? Perhaps the problem is that this facility is so under-promoted by GS that people are not aware of it so it is not seen as a core requirement?

In order for the current GigaPan staff to improve the UI even beyond their initial expectations, it would be useful to listen intently to those of us who have been accessing the GigaPan website for the past 5 or 6 years; those of us who still have, and continue to have the initial thrill of experiencing the GigaPan process.
All of my GigaPans except for one* were stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher … the reason being that my eye sees a more realistic view of the panorama in the Google Earth utility than those panoramas stitched with a competitive product. This effect has never been promoted by the GigaPan staff. For me, seeing the final version of any GigaPan is to see it in the Google Earth utility, and I have never seen an explanation for new users from the GigaPan Staff on how to accomplish this … hardly anyone uses this function except the users that have been here for a number of years.
Two can be seen here: http://gigapan.com/gigapans?order=most_recent&p…
Three are here: http://gigapan.com/gigapans?query=Riceu+costume…
And the single GigaPan not stitched with the GigaPan Stitcher is this one taken with my iPhone and stitched by Kilgore661 … you have to ask him what he used: http://gigapan.com/gigapans/128872

Thank you for your continued support and strong advocacy for improving the presentation and promotion of Gigapan's geolocating features, particularly with Google Earth. We are most definitely listening.
Renewed integration with Google Earth as well as full-scale improvement in our geolocation features, tools, and services is a high priority this coming year. We are addressing some core elements that will help us better meet those goals, and then, as developer resources become available, will actively target this area. Your comments, thoughts, hopes, expectations, and great examples will be integrated into our efforts.
Thank you for your assertive patience as we continue to push forward and make progress.

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

and so far the pad was leveled, footers have been excavated and poured,
stem-walls poured, sewer and water lines laid, and the fill (sand) has been
put inside the stem-walls and compacted.
We've been delayed on pouring the slab because of rain for the past two
days. All this rain has made me curious if it has any adverse effect on the
sand that was poured into the stem-walls. Does anyone know if I should be
looking for any complications due to the rain? As little as I know about it,
the rain could be a good thing. I'm looking for some insight.
Pic before rain
Is there any pools or puddling on top of the compacted sand. If there is then they did a good job compacting. If there is not then it has drained into the sand. Which is not really a bad thing other than it will settle the sand therefore require more concrete to reach grade.
Thank you for your reply. Sounds like it's a non-issue then. I did drive by the site just now. There's no puddling but today has been dry up until just now. Looks like we have another round of storms coming through.

The question is are you in a dry area or a wet area? With all the rain it is good to check the area..footing drains are good for wet areas..as far as the rain the contractor should of covered it with a tarp wait for it to dry out and tamp it again before pouring the floor. Rebar should be used and the floor should be saw-cut as a final step. If the area is know for a high water table a drainage system to daylight or a sump-pump is advisable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Northboy from Well designed backpack I use this bag everyday in lots of different conditions and it works super well. It's really comfortable to ride with even when fully loaded with MacBook 15, gym gear etc. The quality of the bag is second to none IMO, i've had it for about a year and it looks brand new.

Rated 5 out of 5 by danlmarmot from I love this backpack. Bought it six months ago. Used it everyday, great for a 15" MacBook, cushioned. I can use it as an overnight pack with the expansion zipper, or slim it down for sliding under an airplane seat. And there are just enough pockets to organize stuff, yet not so many that you get lost when finding things.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wheresmypants from BEST travelling laptop backpack This is the second one I have bought. Silly me thought it was a good idea to give mine away to my dad thinking I would just get another brand bag. Well a year later and after buying at least 3 other bags that just didn't cut it I walked back into my local crumpler store and got my favourite bag back. If you are travelling with your laptop then there is no better alternative than this bag as either carry on or a short weekend away as your mobile office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Answer to my dreams! I am constantly travelling for work and also suffer back issues. This bag was the answer to my dreams!! It has great spacious compartments and it's so easy to get my laptop out when going through airport security thanks to its own padded compartment. It's also great for over nighters with the expandable mid section. The padded straps & back is great for my back as well - so much better than carrying a handbag & laptop bag. I use this bag everyday, even take it to the footy! It's so versatile! A must have!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Arandomguy from A Handy Companion This is a great backpack! From going to the market, cruising around the city, to going to work, uni, or school. This backpack does it all! It looks trendy whilst remaining functional. It's very sturdy, from the fabric to the buckles and zippers. This thing can stand up to whatever life has to throw at it! And one of the main aspects of this bag is that it's very comfortable! Overall a great and very handy bag to have around!

Rated 5 out of 5 by raraharvey from Object of my affection I got mine in Nov 2013 - as the laptop bag my employer gave me was pretty fugly. It is my daily bag for my commute into work, and has taken everything that I have chucked at it, and in it. On a normal day - it takes my lunch, umbrella, laptop, Ipad, phone, keys, wallet, zombie survival kit (who knows when it will be needed), and I still have room to spare. I feel like I have not as yet tested the limits of it...

In trying to get that front bolster off (and while I have the tractor jacked up), I'm trying to get the front axle off... It's HARD! Anything that is a "pin" or "pivot" is just welded together... I have the parts diagrams, and I'm assuming I should be able to drift out the front axle pivot pin (below the steering geer housing), as well as the pins on the ends that adjust the front wheel width, and even the axle ends themselves. Everything is so welded together by rust that rubber mallets, deadblow hammers, and lots of penetrating oil has no effect.
What is next, heat?

The secret to Apple's success is super-high profit margins. They have to cultivate the fanatics who will pay anything for products that they don't really need. Free media hype and huge crowds at their stores show that the strategy is working.

154 w/ 3260 mower
I have recently purchased a 154 low boy and got a 3260 mower with it, I have purchased all the missing brackets etc. i needed to mount it but was wondering if anyone had a detailed picture of how it actually mounts to the tractror front and rear, I spoke with a nice fella named hamilton bob and he suggested this question be put out on this forum, any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
G'day and congrats on acquiring your 1st new to you Cub Unfortunately I do not have a lot of information on the Numbered Series Cubs but I do have a few items. If you follow the Cub-154 Lo-Boy it will take you to the TC-131 Parts Catalog Revision 8 where you will find the Parts Breakdowns for the various IH Implements available for the 154 such as the IH 3260 Rotary Cutter. That should be of some assistance in mounting your mower. Sorry I don't have anything else on the Implements.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
I know this is an older post but I was having the same issue. I was able to find some pictures on line and thought I would share.
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
Well after spending several hours trying to mount my 3260 like the above photos, I still can not attach it like the photo and have it not bind up. I can not seem it put the pin with the spacers in. Any suggestions? Here are some pics as it is sitting right now. The top pic is of the right side if you are sitting on the tractor. Notice the pin is not installed. The second pic is of the left side. It seems to work correctly.
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
Check the hydraulic cylinder centered under the tractor. You may need to get the piston pushed back into the cylinder. To do that you need the weight of the mower. Reality show. I messed up when is removed the deck and cycled the hydraulics - leaving the lower piston extended.
I had the same problem initially mounting my 3260 mower after removal to work on. I wound up using a farm jack to jack up and block one corner of the deck at a time and fastening some brackets. Then moving the jack to another corner and getting a few more brackets - until I could put weight on the hydraulic system to close the center cylinder.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
On to the next deck issue. Does anyone have a good picture of the belt tensioner? I have a pretty good idea that mine is not on correct.
Re: 154 w/ 3260 mower
2nd photo. The belt tensioner is a coil type spring that fits under the post on the right side of the photo.
As long as spring, the current system, doesn't rub on the belt or pulley, I'd use it.
I have an excuse. CRS.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - On Tuesday, a gray whale calf put on quite a show out in the water to the delight of many onlookers, but marine wildlife experts are worried about it, because it's all alone.
Sightseers can't help but think the baby whale swimming all alone is in trouble.
"I would think so. It's very small. I'm amazed he's not with his mother," one man said.
Captain Manny Moreno with RealitySailing.org helped us track the little guy's progress.
"It's so exciting to see such an encounter," he said.
Only 10 or 12 feet long, the infant with no barnacles on its back could be just a few weeks old.
Sightseer Jeanette Moss is one of many San Diegans worried about the whale.
"Yes, he's a baby and he's skinny. I think SeaWorld or somebody needs to rescue him," she said.
SeaWorld is in contact with the Coast Guard and National Marine Fisheries Service, and says they'll assist with a rescue if the animal gets beached or entangled.
"If it comes on shore then there's a possibility, but that's a pretty involved process," Dr. Ann Bowles of the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute said.
Bowles says it's possible the mother abandoned her baby intentionally.
"If your calf isn't behaving normally… you swim or die, there's just no two choices, and if they can't keep up, there's nothing you can really do," she said.
Bowles is hoping for a quick reunion, but says it's also possible the mother was struck by a boat.
"The mother may have had some kind of accident or problem," she said.
In either case, the public's concern is growing.
"If it's separated from its mom, how are you going to reconnect it, you know what I mean?" a sightseer said.
Bowles says nature has a way of solving its own problems, and she's hoping that's the case here.
"It may be that the mother is somewhere fairly close by and she'll find him eventually, but if she doesn't, it's going to be tough for this little guy to survive. They depend on mother's milk for about seven to eight months, and when they migrate south, the whales don't eat very much at all," Bowles said.
Bowles says at this age without the mother's milk, the baby whale may only survive a month or two.

Here's a look at how the Packers' first-year players are faring through eight games:
OT Bryan Bulaga (first round): In his fourth straight start at right tackle in place of Mark Tauscher, Bulaga regressed last Sunday against the Jets. He struggled more often than not, matched up against Jets DE Shaun Ellis, and looked a step slow. With Tauscher's shoulder getting better, it will be interesting to see if the Packers continue to stick with Bulaga as the starter.
DE Mike Neal (second round): Neal was placed on injured reserve last week with a season-ending shoulder injury He showed good potential in the two games in which he was able to play, but he had big problems staying healthy.
SS Morgan Burnett (third round): Burnett was placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week Four. He began the season as the starting strong safety after an excellent offseason and training camp.
TE Andrew Quarless (fifth round): Quarless had a very quiet game against the Jets. He was targeted twice and had zero catches. He dropped one pass on a third-down seam route and might have a shoulder injury worth monitoring.
OG Marshall Newhouse (fifth round): Newhouse was once again on the inactive list and remains an emergency insurance policy for the offensive line.
RB James Starks (sixth round): After missing all of training camp with a hamstring injury, Starks came off the physically-unable-to-perform last week. Daily team observers expect him to be very gradually worked into the mix after a prolonged layoff from football.
DE C.J. Wilson (seventh round): Wilson continues to be a very pleasant surprise on the Packers' depleted D-line, which has lost Mike Neal and Justin Harrell (both on injured reserve) and was without regular starting DLE Ryan Pickett (ankle). Operating mostly at right end in the team's 3-4 base defense against the Jets, he had three tackles and was a key cog in a run defense that did a very good job holding the Jets' second-ranked ground game in check.
Undrafted rookies:
OLB Frank Zombo — After being much less of a factor in recent games after a very promising start, Zombo certainly made his presence felt in a big way against the Jets with five tackles, one QB hurry and a huge forced fumble. Zombo forced one of the Packers' three turnovers with his hit of Brad Smith out of the "Wildcat" formation, and he did a very commendable job setting the edge in place of Brad Jones, who went on injured reserve last week.
CB Sam Shields —Shields did another decent job as the third corner against the Jets, but his role could be changing soon with Al Harris expected to be activated at any time. Shields had one tackle as a corner and another as a special-teamer against the Jets.
TE Tom Crabtree — Crabtree's impact was once again limited to mostly special teams against the Jets, but he could get back into the mix at tight end if Quarless' shoulder is acting up.
RB Dimitri Nance — Nance suffered a sprained ankle in a kickoff drill in the Friday practice before the Jets game and was put on the inactive list after getting several snaps in the previous game against the Vikings.

Dutch publication Voetbal International is reporting that Barcelona attacking midfielder/winger Ibrahim Afellay will be dropped from the Netherlands' starting XI when they take on Germany later on Wednesday. Dirk Kuyt is believed to be the man taking Afellay's place in the side. The report also says that Ron Vlaar and Mark van Bommel could potentially be dropped, but is less definitive on those possibilities.
Afellay missed most of the season for Barcelona with a knee injury and barely made it back to full fitness in time to make the Netherlands' team for Euro 2012. He was hardly the Netherlands' problem in their 1-0 loss to Denmark, but Bert van Marwijk might feel like Afellay doesn't give him anything that Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder don't already, while Kuyt brings phenomenal work rate and some defensive qualities.
If Vlaar is dropped, it will be for first choice central defender Joris Mathijsen, who missed the Denmark game with an injury. He recently returned to full training. That decision is simply based on fitness, but any decision to drop van Bommel would be a tactical one. The Netherlands absolutely cannot afford to lose to Germany and need to attack. Van Bommel and his partner Nigel De Jong are both true defensive midfielders that offer nothing going forward, and it makes sense that van Marwijk would want to bench one of them in a situation where his team has to score.
