Touch Control Quadrant
I was at the Westminster, MD show last weekend a saw a Super C there that had what appeared to be nice shiny new, zinc or galvanize plated Touch Control quadrants. The owner was not around the tractor for me to get any info. Does anyone know if these are still available through Case/IH or are being reproduced by someone? Thanks.

Yes, they are still available from Case/IH. OEM has reproductions, as well.

Hi All
I saw them in Red power magazine in the OEM add, as CB pointed out and the complete assembly lever and all was $57.00 Some folks with good skills rework the top part of them. I think Mr. Willer has reworked some in the past. Paul K. in N.H.
Holy smoke. $57 for the quadrant. If there is any metal left on the old one and you have ever jointed a saw fixing the quadrant is no problem. Even if you haven't a small trangular file is all that is required to fix the piece up. On the couple of Cubs I have had the problem is usually that the throttle lever has been worn so it won't hold in the indent. That takes a little more time to fix.
I would call JP Tractor Salvage and check on the availability of a used one.
By the way, in my first reply, I was thinking of the quadrant stops, not the quadrant itself. I also had the cub tractor in mind, not a Super C.

It was the Touch Control (hydraulic) quadrant I was talking about, not the throttle quadrant. But these were definitely brand new, and plated, not painted. I'll give my Case/IH dealer a call and see what's available. Thanks guys.

Hi All
I agree $57.00 is alot, but I am just posting whats in the add, Throttle plate assembly. Thats why I said those with some skill could go to work and fix one up. Paul K. in N.H.
So this whole thing brings up a question... were the holes in the quadrant tapped to hold the stops? Was there something like a thumbscrew or just a bolt if it was tapped?

The srops have thumb screws in them

government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
I think this post is about the throttle quadrant that has v shaped notchs to hold the lever at different engine speeds. If you are talking about the touch control to the left of the throttle there are little stops on there that can be set by sliding them to and fro on the arch, the stops have a 10/32 hole tapped in the middle and on my 61 they used a 10/32 like a thumb screw, but there is a wingnut head on it instead of a thumb screw head. one of mine is busted off in the stop. I don't see them at the hardware, but someone on here knows where you can get them. If not from IH, then from a fastener co. If all that fails you can get a piece of 10/32 all thread and cut it to length and thread it into a wingnut and put a little weld on the top and it will be as they were new. Paul K. in N.H.

Tech fans know that the tailgating fun starts several hours before kick-off -- in the east parking lot of Jones Stadium, where hundreds of tailgaters packed parking lots around the stadium. NewsChannel 11 spent some time with die hard Tech tailgaters who say even mother nature can't put a damper on their tradition.
Ice down those coolers, fire up the grills, and get your guns up! Tech tailgating season is officially underway, and despite ominous clouds, tailgaters turned out in droves to back the Red Raiders.
"If it rains, it's not gonna hurt a thing," says Bill Lothringer.
And these die hard Tech fans say the key to a good tailgating party depends on much more than just the weather.
"We're having brisket ribs and sausage," says Steve Hodges.
"Some good food, ice cold beverages, and good music. If you get all those things together, I think rain or not, it's still fun I think," says Daniel Enabnit.
Some fans have grills the size of a small car strapped to the back of their trucks, cooking large amounts of sausage, ribs and just about anything else that will fit.
"I got anything someone would like -- mild, hot little bit of plain butter, seasoned butter," says John Hernandez.
Tailgaters say the reason for this tradition is to stand behind the team they love.
"Getting the spirit up and letting the team know and community know we're behind them. We need to get Tech fans out to watch Tech football, not Texas or A&M. We need to get people out for every football game -- let our team know we're behind them, not everyone else," says Bill Lothringer.
And no tailgating party is complete without game predictions.
"35-21 TTU," says one fan.
"42-10," says another.
"Tech's gonna thrash them," says Jeff Rogers.
"I'm gonna say Tech by 20. That's my prediction," says Marvin White.
Tailgaters say rain or shine, they'll be back next week to support Tech against New Mexico.

The University of Virginia Board of Visitors will meet on Tuesday, June 26 at 3:00 p.m. in the board room of the rotunda, to discuss possible changes in the terms of employment of President Teresa Sullivan.
UVA has confirmed three board members called the special meeting: Macdonald Caputo, Hunter Craig, and Timothy Robertson.
The board's clerk says they need a simple majority vote in order to reinstate Sullivan. So if all 15 voting members of the board appear on Tuesday, only 8 votes are needed.
UVA Faculty Senate Chair George Cohen says he has reason to believe Sullivan would accept reinstatement, if offered by the board of visitors.
"We are very excited," said Cohen. "Very optimistic. This is an amazing, unprecedented development and it is really the culmination of what we've been looking for. We're hopeful to have our president back very soon."
The special meeting announcement comes as the deans from 10 of the 11 schools at UVA stood up against the board of visitors asking for Sullivan's reinstatement. They issued a statement Thursday saying the board needs to reverse its decision.
Thursday, former Governor Tim Kaine also called for Sullivan to be reinstated. He appointed half of the board of visitors, and said they made a mistake by not holding a meeting before Sullivan's removal.
NBC29 spoke to Sullivan's husband, Doug Laycock, about the board's meeting announcement. He had no comment on the situation and says anything they said would not be helpful to the process right now.

Best I can reckon, over the course of this season CHers have swapped musical faves for 40 American states and California. That leaves nine states unaccounted for, and since the Wolves have just a handful of games left to play I want to make sure we cover them all. As you might suspect, these are places that no NBA team calls home, are among the lesser populated regions of the USA, and consequently may not be musical powerhouses. But fantastic tunes come from everywhere.
In no particular order:
The island state actually does have a sound all its own, easily recognizable for its use of ukulele, slack key guitar, and steel guitar. Like any style, it can range from cheesy to sublime.

A book published nearly 40 years ago by President Emeritus Alfred B. Rollins Jr. was reissued recently by Transaction Publishers.
Originally released in 1962 under the Knopf imprint, "Roosevelt and Howe" is a joint biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of his principal advisers, Louis Howe. Howe was FDR's first political aide and the only one who also became an intimate personal friend. This latest version features a new introduction, titled "The Fourth Branch of Government."
"The book's reissue seems timely, given renewed interest in our government and White House presidential staffs," said Rollins. "It is the story of two men bound together by challenge and ambition as they participated in two major transitions, the development of modern mass media campaigns, and the evolution of White House staff as the fourth branch of government."
Rollins will give a talk on "FDR and the Modern Presidency" and read passages from his book and the new introduction at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, at Prince Books in downtown Norfolk.
Rollins was one of the earliest researchers in FDR papers and the first to explore the Howe papers.

CANNES, France — Police arrested a French actor for baring his bottom to fans when they asked to take a photograph of him in the movie festival town of Cannes, media and an official said Monday.
Sami Naceri, 49, star of the hit television series "Taxi", was arrested on Sunday and is in police custody, "accused of displaying an intimate part of his anatomy" in public, said the police official, who asked not to be named.
Police would not describe the offence in detail but the regional newspaper Nice Matin reported that Naceri dropped his trousers and bared his buttocks to a group of young people who asked him for a photo on the Cannes seafront.
The actor has had several run-ins with the law and last month was convicted of a knife attack in 2009. Just last week he was briefly detained in Cannes for insulting police.

About 20% of the boys currently at the school are receiving financial support, and some of them are paying substantially reduced fees or indeed no fees at all. Financial support can come through a scholarship or through a bursary. No parents with a talented boy should feel that Eton is necessarily beyond their means. These are the ways in which a candidate can secure a funded place:
In year 6 (age 11): a conditional place offered for entry to Eton in year 9 can lead to a bursary award. Some preparatory schools offer funded places for years 7 and 8.
In year 8 (age 13): a boy with great academic strength from any educational background can win a King's Scholarship, and an outstanding musician with good academic qualities can win a Music Scholarship. We also award New Foundation Scholarships; an entry opportunity for a small number of boys from UK state schools at age 13. Although such boys might find preparation for the King's Scholarship difficult to achieve, they will have intellectual potential comparable to that of a King's Scholar, and sit a special examination based on the national curriculum but designed to draw out that flair.
In year 11 (age 16) : UK students expected to gain outstanding GCSE results can compete for a Sixth Form Scholarship. Boys under the age of 17 on 1 September after taking GCSEs and who are attending a maintained (State) school are eligible to apply. Candidates receiving substantial bursarial assistance at fee-paying schools with no provision for Years 12 and 13 may also apply.
Please note that we do not offer sports or arts scholarships, though such abilities feature strongly in all our selection processes along with all-round personality and suitability for membership of a boarding community.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A wall classic. Bring some crimp strength, endurance, and good footwork for this short punchy route.
This is the obvious brown streak right in center of the lower wall. A heads up start to the first bolt.
Two bolts protect the first 25', a rack of tri-cams or some medium sized cams is all that is needed for the top. Rap from the two bolt anchor just below the top. A 60m will easily get you down.

.. but still really important to the Timberwolves.
Ricky Rubio's rookie season seemed to get everyone at the Target Center and on Canis Hoopus pretty damn excited. Ricky is an fun player, and when he was on the court, things just seemed to be working for the first time since the Garnett years. Throughout the season I have repeatedly seen Ricky identified as "the centerpiece of the Wolves' future", "untradeable", "max contract player", "better than Kevin Love", "better the Nikola Pekovic"... Many Minnesota fans don't just see Ricky as the starting point guard we have needed since Cassell. They see him as the golden-boy savior of the franchise.
I was there watching the games this season, so I know where this sentiment comes from. I had the same experience watching the Wolves finally compete on a regular basis, only to watch the season crumble after Rubio tore his ACL making a hustle play that may have beaten the Lakers. However... I think if we let the hype-train get going too fast, many folks are going to experience a serious let-down, and I also worry the back-swing will make it difficult to appreciate Ricky for the good value he legitimately does bring to the Wolves. This is why I view it as a public service to unmask your hero and disabuse you of your hope.
Win shares has Ricky as a slightly below average player at 0.07. Wins produced views Ricky as a slightly above average player at 0.13. My PA100 rating sees Ricky adding 1.36 points per 100 possessions. This is roughly equivalent to how WP values him. Using PA100, Ricky grades out as the 14th best player to log 2,500+ possessions with at least half of them at the point. As you can see in the charts below, of the 29 points guards to play at least 2,500 possession, Rubio rates as the 17th best offensively and the 10th best defensively.
Because the defensive metric is a bit sloppier, I flagged a few players who I think may not deserve their rating. Chalmers is any easy case, he is almost certainly riding the LeBron/Wade train to defensive success. A similar case can be made for Sweet Lou leeching off of Iggy and Meeks, but his numbers are too good for me to easily discount. Houston's non-point positions do much better defensively with Lowry than they do with Dragic, so he may be another overrated defender. I lightly flagged Wall because of his poor HLP measure, however, he is the only Washington starter to limit his opposition, so I think he may be hurt more than helped defensively by his teammates.
These are numbers that absolutely support Rubio's case as a starting NBA point guard. At 21 years old, that is an impressive feat. He should continue to improve as he matures and gets more comfortable with the NBA game. I have no problem penciling Ricky Rubio in as the starting point guard on the future NBA champion Timberwolves. That said, these numbers are not consistent with the extreme praise I see on Canis Hoopus and elsewhere in the Wolves fan community. I think Ricky is the 3rd best player on the Wolves, but I also think he is several tiers below Love and Pek (see table).
I think the key to understanding the overestimation of Ricky's rookie season is the huge impact his presence and unfortunate loss had on the team. 2011 was awful and Rick and Ricky were the only significant acquisitions (prior to the emergence of Pek), yet the team performed at an obvious higher level right off the bat in 2012. When Ricky went down, the wheels fell off the wagon and the tenor around Canis Hoopus turned uncomfortably dark. How can we possibly explain this pattern in any way other than "Ricky Rubio is an absolute stud"?.... let me show you.
Here is the 2011 Wolves starting lineup and a relatively accurate breakdown of how many possessions each player contributed per game.
As these numbers are likely reminding you... we were awful in 2010/2011. Love and Tolliver were the only positive contributors on the roster, and several of our bad players went above and beyond simply being bad.
So as I said before, if the only significant changes to the roster were Rick and Ricky, how can we possibly explain the teams drastic turnaround without canonizing Rubio? Looking at the numbers, we can explain most of the team's turnaround using two key factors. 1) Adelman gave Love more burn than Rambis did, and 2) The addition of a solid player in Ricky makes a huge difference when the alternative is absolute garbage.
Upping Love's minutes and giving Rubio Flynn's and Wayne's minutes made a huge difference. Ricky may only be adding less than a point and a half per 100 possession above average, but when that is replacing the minutes of a guy who bled the team for eight points per 100, it means everything. The Wolves felt like a new team almost instantly in 2012, and that is exactly what we should expect with roughly a 7 point swing in expected point differential. That is equivalent to the difference between the Thunder and an average NBA team.
The high of watching decent basketball carried right on through the beginning of the season, and was invigorated as Pek began to work his way into the rotation. With Love, Pek and Rubio all healthy and playing heavy minutes, the playoffs moved from a ridiculous fantasy to an eventuality. We were a good team.
With a differential of +3.37 we would be a top 10 team, on par with Atlanta, Denver, Boston, Indiana, and New York (just looking at season averages, not necessarily as they are now). That's when the injury happened.
Note that we still weren't a bad team after losing Rubio. We had a rough run shortly after Rubio went down, but we were still in playoff contention until the additional loss of Pek a couple weeks later. Even losing Pek ,we didn't collapse to 2011 levels (thanks largely to Adelman grinding Love at a league-high rate), but it certainly removed us from the race.
By the time Barea, Luke, and then ultimately Love went down to injury the season was long gone.
Ricky Rubio initially excited us by not being Flynn and being a part of a well-managed rotation. He then sent us into depression by going down right as the Wolves started safely thinking about competing in May. The following string of injuries then made it difficult to separate any degree of success from The Unicorn.
I think I was able to construct a pretty solid narrative for the season here. One that captures the experienced ups and downs without assuming all-star performance from our Spanish sensation. Note that this narrative even assumes that Ricky was a vital part of our success... he just doesn't need to be a top-tier player to have that impact. In addition to arguing that folks should really relax the "max-contact" hyperbole with respect to Ricky, there is another lesson to be learned here. A lesson that I would love to somehow implant in David Kahn's head more than anything else. "Replacing shitty minutes is just as important as adding superior minutes." If you can do both in one swipe (IGGY!!!), all the better.
Don't really see how to work this in, but one argument for Ricky's awesomeness is his +7.65 unadjusted defensive on/off score. This is a huge effect size, but factoring in how bad his replacement (Luke) is defensively it again does not require super-human performance by Ricky.
If I include the HLP metric, Ricky hurts opposing offenses for about -1.75 points per 100. Luke on the contrary, helps opposing offenses to the tune of +3.6 points per 100. Add those together, and we already have a difference of 5.35. Add in the fact that loosing Rubio also means more minutes for a player like Martell moving into the 2 spot, who helps opponents' offenses score an additional +1.87 points per 100 and we are all the way up to a differential of 7.22 (I understand this isn't exactly how things work, but it is a lazy attempt to capture the ripples through the rotation when losing one of the few good players on a team). Once again, we can explain the huge assumed impact of Ricky without really making it all about Ricky

The funeral of Baroness Thatcher has taken place at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
Among the 2,000 mourners were the First Minister Carwyn Jones and the Welsh Secretary David Jones, as well as Shirley Bassey and Katherine Jenkins.
Other grassroots supporters travelled to London from Wales to line the route.
Simon Weston from Nelson who served in the Falklands War spoke to ITV News on his feelings at Baroness Thatcher's funeral today.
Grant Tucker, a Welsh Conservative from Newport, said he wasn't surprised at the size of the crowds at Margaret Thatcher's funeral nor the warmth of their repsonse.
Also amongst the mourners in St. Paul's was Jeff James who's Chairman of the Welsh Conservative party. He says he was there to represent all the party's members in Wales

Wayne Thomas, general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) in Wales, did not travel to London, says he still feels anger towards Baroness Thatcher, but has said that a debate on her policies should wait until after she has been laid to rest.
As a 22-year-old miner based in the Swansea Valley during 1984, his experiences of a year on strike have left an indelible mark.
Mr Thomas believes that the only fitting epitaph for Baroness Thatcher's grave would be "May God Forgive Her".
– Wayne Thomas, general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers in Wales
My view on the matter is quite clear - I do think that we should show respect for the family of Mrs Thatcher. They have lost a loved one.
There are grieving family members and we should respect that.
I think it has reopened the debate on the rights and wrongs of what she did. But that is a debate for after she has been buried.
I do think that people are trying to airbrush away how horrendous her policies actually were.
The Institute of Economic Affairs, the think-tank behind many of the policies that became know as 'Thatcherism' have issued a series of tributes to Margaret Thatcher following her funeral, including this from Profesor Patrick Minford of the Cardiff Business School.
– Prof Patrick Minford, IEA Trustee and former economic advisor to Baroness Thatcher
As Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher faced overwhelming odds. The truth is that she saved us from economic disaster and turned Britain once more into an engine of economic progress. For this we must treasure and honour her memory.

YUMA, Ariz. -- A 24-year-old Yuma woman is accused of first-degree murder in the killing of a woman whose dead body was recently found in a citrus grove.
Yuma police arrested Brandi Michalski Tuesday in the killing of 29-year-old Christal Figueroa of Wellton. According to police, the two were friends until recently.
Sgt. Leanne Worthen said police are still seeking three men for questioning in the case.
Included among the three men is 30-year-old Jose Jimenez, who is named in a Yuma County warrant for aggravated assault and unlawful flight in another case.
Police said Michalski was one of several people who were involved in a March hit-and-run accident. Weapons were also found dumped in the area.

Landscape with Noah Offering a Sacrifice of Gratitude
Oil on canvas
Inv. No. 767
86 × 116 cm
The Tyrolean Joseph Anton Koch developed a classicist style of landscape painting that blends the ideal, heroic landscape with vedute aiming at the faithful reproduction of reality. This major work was executed in 1803, and it is the first of several versions painted by the artist between then and 1815. Noah and his clan are set before a desolate land destroyed by water, with many animals. The spacious landscape with the rainbow surrounded by dark clouds is the dominant motif. In the foreground on the right, a few women look up at the overarching natural phenomenon, regarded as a symbol of God's renewed covenant with humanity after the Flood.

The National Amateur Athletic Union President died today in Lexington.
Louis Stout, 73, spent three decades with the AAU and became the AAU National President in 2011.
The Cynthiana native was also part of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association for more the 30 years.
In 1994, he became the first African American to serve as the KSHAA commissioner.
Current KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett says Stout is the reason the Kentucky program is where it is today.
Stout died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington. He had been there for about a week with an illness.

Westmeath hurling manager Brian Hanley.
Westmeath hurling manager Brian Hanley.
Westmeath senior hurling manager Brian Hanley pulled no punches after his side's ultimately fortunate draw with London in the first round of the 2014 Allianz HL in Ruislip last Sunday, conceding that "in all honesty, we very lucky not to lose it".
The Athenry man spelt out his feelings within minutes of the final whistle: "It was very disappointing that we didn't close it out having shown great character to battle back and go three points up with three minutes to go, but you've got to say that we got a (league) point that our game certainly didn't deserve."
"It wasn't that London out-hurled us. We just coughed up so many basic errors, it's frightening that you can do that many in one game. There's no legislating for that.
"You can't blame a lack of hurling, it's a lack of concentration. It's very disappointing to have 'won' the game and then let it slip," he continued.
While the pitch looked okay from afar, the reality was different. Hanley explained: "One more shower of rain and that game would have been called off. It's as simple as that and we knew that yesterday. Look it was very, very bad, but it was the same for both teams. I park that. London had to play on the same pitch. Credit to them, they did very, very well."
When asked to hone in on positives from the below-par performance, Hanley responded: "We showed great character in a game that was slipping away. It is a task to come over here and get everything right. We were in the Annebrook (hotel) at six this morning. But you can use all that, and it's only an excuse. You've got to perform. And we didn't."
Promptly returning to some obvious negatives, Hanley said: "We didn't create goal chances. Two weeks ago we played Offaly, and that was just a shadow of that today. Certain individuals didn't perform and we looked a bit lost in certain areas. That's being frank about it. We have a lot to work on."
"That's not good enough to get promoted. Nor should it be. This was not the start we wanted. We lost our first game last year to Kerry in Tralee and that performance today was on a par with that. I can't put a finger on it. We prepared well. In my stint this is the best prepared we have been. We didn't look like scoring enough. Only for Noel Conaty getting the scores and Philip Gilsenan being outstanding at midfield, nowhere else were we winning our positions. We won bits and pieces at times.
"It's so disappointing, coughing up basic errors. Don't get me wrong, these Westmeath hurlers are very, very good hurlers but it's that first touch, you must be getting fed up of me saying it now, is what's killing us."
Looking ahead to the home game against Derry next Sunday, Hanley had further bad news: "Eoin Price is out, probably for the duration of the league. He got a bad break in his thumb. I saw a picture of it with his cast off. He's definitely looking at another three weeks anyway. Aonghus Clarke is out long-term. Tommy Gallagher is just back. But I never use excuses and I don't want to now."
"I came here today expecting to win with a team good enough to win. We didn't and we were lucky to get a draw. I will be looking for a big reaction next Sunday against Derry. It's going to take a bit of a job to pick them up now. We're not out of the league campaign, but we didn't do ourselves any favours today," added Hanley.

The secretariat of Switzerland's competition commission said that several major perfume manufacturers, including L'Oreal SA and Chanel Geneve, might be fined because of price-fixing. The investigation,which began in December 2008, looked into the Federation of Manufacturers, Importers and Suppliers of cosmetic and perfumery products and its members. Other manufacturers that may be involved include Clarins SA, Parfums Christian Dior and YSL Beaute.
"During the investigation, evidence mounted that the companies involved exchanged information in order to adjust prices to each other and lock in market share," the secretariat said in a statement.

Hello !
Just bought your excellent template.
I would like to add a video in one page (The one call "Crew" in your demo content.)
Any chance to do that ?
My other question is for the FlickR gallery, any way to cache the images on the server to speed up the next loading ?
Thanks you very much for your replies.
Sure, just add a new asset item as shown in the guide or simply copy the setup node from crew.xml into your custom one.
The flickr module loads the images only once and stores them inside the browsers cache. I'm afraid I cannot do anything to speed the loading process. You might consider to use directly local stored image files.
Ok, sorry, but I can't get it to work for the video…
This is the link: http://lespotesag.com/new/#/Ils_nous_ont_fait_confiance
The video is the first one
This is my XML file
Any idea , I can't get to let the video play?
Thanks again
You probably just need to set showButton to true. I noticed that your xml file is malformed, though. You might check it.
Hello, guys. I'm brand new in the web design and development field. I've just finished my first major site and I am running into a bit of a problem.
I am trying to upload my files, but I only get a blank screen with the default message that says to update my browser and get the latest Flash. I've uploaded the index HTML and the swf file as well, but nothing is working.
What am I doing wrong? I am VERY new at this and I need your assistance. Can anyone please help me with the process of uploading my project correctly?
Thank You in advance,
Hi buddy, I answered your emails. Don't panic you just didn't upload the whole folder. Take some time to upload all missing files and you'll see the site correctly.
Good luck.
Hello, Great JOB ! but i would love to have the backgrounds like the demo where can i get them please contact soon!
WOW , thanks about what size to get?
It's up to you. I'd stick with the medium one.
Great template but i get problems when im trying to embed fonts. have read the manual but nothing. Trying to add greek fonts but nothing.
Any suggestions?
Hi julian, I replied your email with a brief guide. If you still have issues drop me a line and I'll assist you.
Hello!!! 1. How to translate on Russian this pattern? ????????????! ??? ????????? ?? ??????? ???? ??????? 2. Where to introduce cyrillics? ??? ???????? ??????????
p.s. Forgive for my English language.
As shown in the userguide, you must change the font in the library of Quboid application and update the font namel in both xml and css files to see it properly in the template. If you don't know the font name pick it up from the trace in the template source by simply compiling it and pressing F9.
If you still have issues contact me privately by compiling the form on my profile page.
hi, great template….
but… I have problems with video,
my web site is: http://www.beyondproduction.com.mx
i load the template incomplete, for my problems with video
this is the info on showreel.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <![CDATA[]]> <![CDATA[]]>
any idea….
please help me, I make videos, for that thing…. I need show many of them
good day
Try using absolute paths for videos, some servers do not recognize relative paths. In your case you should modify the path parameter in http://www.beyondproduction.com.mx/xml/portfolio/showreel.xml
what scaling options do I have with the video? can I have different widths and heights for individual videos?
The provided scale modes are custom, original and fullscreen. The size can be set from the xml setup, though it's global for the whole grid – if you need a new size you must load a new grid to refresh that setting.
Thank you very much.
Is there any other way besides php to use the contact form? Asp maybe? any suggestions or code?
You should be able to replace the php form with one in asp. Flash will use that one and send the parameters there. Unfortunately I have no clue about to set up an asp script, so it's up to you. Update the contactFormPath to the new one written in asp once you've done.
I can not find the "cubeDoubleSided" in PDF file! could you please explain it for me?
Thank you
The name says it all. If it set to true the cube will apply the image texture on the front and on the back, if not the only side with the picture will be the front one. It's only for performance reasons.
Some layouts, like the shelf example, allow you to see on both sides of the cube while tilting with the mouse. Other layouts do not need this setting, it's up to you.
Hi, does the template allows me to change the menu font, and could I put a drop shadow to the text in the menu. (I would like to use the text with a clean appearence, without the black frame).
Wanna know befor I buy…
Sure you can, there is an alpha property for the menu frame. Just set it to zero and you'll get the menu without any background, just with the clean text.
Keep sure you set both menuAlpha and submenuAlpha to zero, that's all. The font can be changed easily, just follow the instructions in the userguide.
nice work! but i have some questions how can i change the font on contact page? should i embed my font to the fla file and replace it? i read a little bit of the userguiad.i try to tranlate to chinese but still can't completely understand.
- Open Quboid.fla, press F11 to focus the library and double click the fonts you'd like to change. Choose a font which supports cinese. Select the font with a star (*) next to it and in the properties click on the embed characters button and keep sure you checked "cinese". Save and recompile.
- Now open Template.fla and compile it to see in the trace the exact font name. Press F9 to see it. Select and copy the font names into your clipboard.
- Paste the font names inside your css stylesheets and in the setup of your xml files.
If you still have issues contact me privately.
thanks for your help….:)
Congratulations, it is a wonderfull template. I would like ask you, how can I change the font type? (for example: Arial) I tried change the content into css but it doesn't work. Kisses Margaret from Spain.

hello kier,
don't know if I understand you correct ? ... but ...
page size is of no relevance to jor_sexylightbox. (or your browser for that matter).
so it's not the page size that you need to bother with.
make the google extension the same size as the lightbox window.
Why you need to add 10px ?
page size is 400x400 (this will do nothing, unless you center-page of course)
google extension is 410x410
jor_sexylightbox is 400x400
then the google extension is 10px to large in size for the lightbox window, hence the scrollbars.
am I anywhere near, or way off . .

Halloween night is when all the ghouls, ghosts and goblins come out to enjoy the night of terror.
But the little ones got an early start to the festivities today before the sun went down.
Kids from the Minot got dressed up in their costumes this morning to go trick or treating at the Downtown Treat Trail.
Downtown Minot wasn't the only place to fill the goody basket.
The MSU Dome and Dakota Square Mall also handed out treats to kids
And while trick or treating is usually for later on in the evening, its never to early to add to the pile of candy.
(What's your favorite part of Halloween?) "Getting candy"
(What's your favorite candy?) "Suckers"
"I have a lot of candy!"
"Me too!"
(What's your favorite part of Halloween?) "Dressing up"
"I don't know. You can be really whatever."
"The dressing up part [is the best part]. You put the candy in the bags and you dress up."
(Brooke Melby, Daycare Worker) " It's a great thing for the kids to come down during the day, it's not so scary for them. It's light outside and its fun for them to walk around and see the other kids trick or treating."

Trunks (Japanese: トランクス Hepburn: Torankusu?) is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball manga series written by Akira Toriyama. He makes his debut in chapter #331 The Young Boy of Mystery (謎の少年 Nazo no Shōnen?), first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on July 15, 1991.[1] Trunks is the half-Saiyan half-Human son of Vegeta and Bulma.
Trunks has a slender muscular physique with his most dominant genes coming from his maternal side, thus resulting in his having blue eyes and lavender-colored hair which is mostly shown in the undercut style.[2] During his early teens, this style was parted on his right side and his late teens it was parted in the left. As he is half-human, his hair tends to grow. Because of this, he wore his hair in an over-the-shoulders style during the fight with Cell. The color caused some confusion among the other characters that met him; as Vegeta pointed out a Saiyan's hair color is generally black.[3]
His facial features are nearly identical to his father's as pointed out by Bulma when awaiting Goku's return.[3] Trunks can transform into a Super Saiyan which causes his hair to spike on end and takes on a golden color and his eyes a certain turquoise or green color.
Trunks is also known for his unique fashion sense. When the character was first introduced he wore his mother's old cropped jacket that was steel blue in the manga, han purple in the anime, with a Capsule Corporation patch on his upper left sleeve that was red in the manga, white in the anime, along with a black tank top and baggy pants. During the Cell Games he wore a pair of Saiyan battle armor identical to his father's which was made by Bulma. As a child during the Majin Boo arc, he wears a dark green gi with matching orange belt and wrist bands.
Trunks's first depicted form has been referred to as "Future Trunks" (未来のトランクス Mirai no Torankusu?, "Trunks of the Future") in media in order to distinguish it from the character's present-timeline's incarnation.
Future Trunks, having never met his father, nor grown up under his influence, combined with the fact that he grew up in an apocalyptic world, is very cautious and serious, such as when he begged Vegeta not to challenge the Androids without Goku being present, unlike his main timeline counterpart, who has a more laid-back personality and a level of arrogance very similar to his father's. Future Trunks clearly fears the Androids, panicking at the introduction of Android 16. He also appears to be afflicted with some sort of post-traumatic stress as a result of the struggles he faced in his apocalyptic nightmarish world. Nevertheless, Future Trunks is depicted as incredibly respectful to everyone, especially his mother and his master, Future Gohan. When he finally meets Vegeta in the past, Future Trunks is seen to be constantly trying to impress him. This is often mixed with disgust and horror towards his father's uncaring attitude towards those around him, especially when Vegeta refused to save Bulma and baby Trunks when Dr. Gero blows up their capsule airplane, forcing Future Trunks to save his present counterpart and mother. Because he comes from the future and believes he knows what is going to happen, Future Trunks is usually shown thinking that only some things will matter and others probably would not, although he is usually right in the long term. This is shown in, at first, his resistance to do anything unless Goku is present. Other things, such as his surprise that Piccolo's fusion would make a difference, also show this. As such, he is usually surprised at events, on a different layer than the fact that history was different from his recollection. He is even, though very rarely, shown to be cocky, such as when he became an Ultra Super Saiyan, but when he loses his seeming "advantage" this cockiness dissolves instantly. Molded from his dark timeline, he is very serious and is a determined fighter like his father. Unlike his father or alternate timeline self, Future Trunks is often shown to be very polite and well-mannered. This is clearly shown in the original version through his speech, as he is often heard using the polite form of Japanese phrases when addressing his allies.
Present Trunks as a child during the Majin Buu arc is shown to be quite cocky and stingy, as well as mischievous, most likely due to the fact that this Trunks grew up with his father Vegeta and enjoyed the luxuries of peace, while Future Trunks grew up without Future Vegeta and in an apocalyptic world, causing him to be much more serious and cautious. Trunks has a combination of both of his parents' personalities: cocky and proud like his father, and spoiled and selfish like his mother. He refuses to respect someone he does not like, another trait he shares with his father. This is shown when he disrespects Goku when they first meet, and for a long time after, as Trunks believes he is not as strong as his father, and nowhere near as reliable. Later on, Trunks does gain more respect for Goku after seeing Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power in action when holding off Majin Buu. He is shown to be loving towards his parents and grandparents, and will not think twice about defending his family. Trunks tends to usually take control over the younger Goten, stating to him numerous times how he is both older and stronger (during childhood). Because of his maternal side of the family being scientists, he also possesses a significantly huge amount of knowledge about biological and scientific-related knowledge from a young age, as demonstrated in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, when he correctly identifies what the Culture Tank equipment is used for at age eight, as well as correctly defining two-thirds of what biotechnology is (the only thing he was not able to answer is what genetic-engineering is). In his later years, Trunks adopts a personality similar to his future counterpart's. During and in between his battles at the World Martial Arts Tournament, he acts just like his father does, calm when he fights and insults his opponents. He does not act like this however during his battle with Goten, because Goten is his best friend or it could be because it is a battle he could possibly lose.
Plot overview[edit]
Future Trunks[edit]
Trunks first appears in chapter #331 The Young Boy of Mystery (謎の少年 Nazo no Shōnen?), published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on July 15, 1991.[4] Here he is a mysterious seventeen year old who appears and singlehandedly kills Freeza and his father.[5] Upon Goku's return from planet Namek, Trunks confides with Goku his tragic story.[6]
As told in the stand alone manga side story Trunks the Story: The Lone Warrior (トランクスザストーリー -たったひとりの戦士- Trunks za Sutōrī -Tatta Hitori no Senshi-?) and chapters #419 and 420,[7][8] Trunks has traveled from twenty years in the future where the world is in constant ruin due to the terror of the two androids #17 and #18 which were created by Doctor Gero, the former chief scientist of the Red Ribbon Army. By this time Goku has succumbed to an unknown heart virus and everyone, with the exception of Gohan, has fallen at the hands of the artificial humans.[9] Trunks has been living with Bulma and secretly training with Gohan. After Gohan's inevitable death, Trunks assumes the mantle of Earth's sole protector against the artificial humans for the next three years until Bulma finishes her time machine. Once he informes Goku of the events to come, Trunks gives Goku a special vaccine,[9] and returns to his own time.[10]
Trunks returns to help in the present day battle against the artificial humans. With the appearance of Cell, Trunks trains with Vegeta in the Room of Spirit and Time. After Vegeta's defeat, Trunks fights Cell in his newly gained Perfect state. However, Trunks' third Super Saiyan grade proves to be ineffective so he willfully concedes. He later participates in Cell martial arts tournament, where he is mortally wounded by Cell. After Cell's defeat, Trunks returns to his own timeline in the future and defeats the artificial humans and Cell within his time.
Present Trunks[edit]
Trunks' second incarnation first appears as an infant in chapter #337 Super Warriors Assemble (集う超戦士たち Tsudō Super Senshi-tachi?), published on August 26, 1991.[11] He is only featured as a background character. When he is eight, Trunks participates in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai and defeats Son Goten in the junior division, although the two of them cheated equally. Goten is his best friend and childhood rival, though Trunks is stronger than Goten as it is later pointed out by Goku.[12] Eager to compete in the adult division, Trunks and Goten together pose as the fighter Mighty Mask (マイティマスク Maiti Masuku?) and are pitted against #18 and others in a battle royal. But they are disqualified when #18 blows their cover, revealing that they were really two people.
Upon the arrival of Majin Boo, Trunks is forced to train with Goten in the Room of Spirit and Time to become the fused warrior Gotenks. Gotenks fights Boo, first in the time dimension, then in the real world until the thirty minute fusion time limit expires. Through Boo's treachery they, along with Piccolo, are absorbed by Boo, thus increasing his power. Once freed, Trunks, along with Goten, Gohan, and Piccolo are killed when Boo blows up the Earth. After being resurrected, Trunks helped to rally the people on Earth to support Goku's Genki Dama in his defeat of Boo. At the end of the series, Trunks, now grown up, participates in the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai against the fighter Otokosuki.
Trunks possesses several abilities including superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and energy blasts, which can be utilized by the use of ki. Some of his signature attacks are the Burning Attack (バーニングアタック Bāningu Atakku?) and the Super Buster Cannon (スーパーバスターキャノン Sūpā Basutā Kyanon?). Trunks is also known for his use of a longsword that he keeps in a scabbard mounted across his back.
His main means of conveyance is a technique called Bukū-jutsu (舞空術 "Air Dance Technique"?) which gives him the ability of flight.[13] However, Trunks does not rely on this technique as his only conveyance as he can also be seen piloting various crafts manufactured by his family's company, including the time machine which allowed him to visit Goku in the past.[14]
Both incarnations of Trunks can at least transform into basic Super Saiyan although their achievement of this form differs between incarnation. Future Trunks achieved this in his early teens,[15] while present Trunks would be shown to have the ability at the age of eight.[16] In the Cell arc, Future Trunks obtains further grades of Super Saiyan during his training with Vegeta in the Room of Spirit and Time.[17] Unfortunately, these forms would decrease his speed greatly and so he would abandon them after his first initial fight with Cell.[18]
Trunks is able to temporarily fuse with Goten to become the powerful being named Gotenks (ゴテンクス Gotenkusu?) through a technique called Fusion, which was taught to them by Goku.[19][20] Gotenks is able to use a variety of attacks that he gives humorous names to, such as Galactic Donut (ギャラクティカドーナツ Gyarakutuka Dōnatsu?) and his signature Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack (スーパーゴーストカミカゼアタック Sūpā Gōsuto Kamikaze Atakku?). They can also achieve Super Saiyan 3 with ease, a feat that was very difficult for Goku to achieve and maintain.[21]
Voice actors[edit]
In the original Japanese version of the entire Dragon Ball Z anime series and in all other media, Trunks is voiced by Takeshi Kusao. Akira Toriyama stated that it was difficult to decide on young Trunks' voice. The producer at Toei Animation had consulted with the editorial department and thought that it would, perhaps, be better if they changed to a different voice actor for the child version. At that time, the serialization was still going on, and Toriyama was unsure of how the manga story would end; young Trunks might've ended up growing up and the story might have continued to the same time period when teenage Trunks returned to the future. In that case, if the voice actor would've been changed, it would've sounded strange. Eventually, Kusao ended up voicing Trunks both as a child and teenager. After listening to Kusao a few times, Toriyama and Toei Animation felt that it was the right choice.[22] In the English-language dub by Funimation, Eric Vale voices him both as a teen, and as an adult in Dragon Ball GT,[23] while Laura Bailey voices him as a child.[24] Currently they voice the character in most video games with the exception of Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout where he was voiced by Skip Stellrecht.[23] In the Ocean Productions' English dub, Trunks was voiced by Alistair Abell as a teenager and by Cathy Weseluck as a child.[24]
Appearances in other media[edit]
In Dragon Ball GT, Trunks would accompany Goku and Pan into space to recover the Black Star Dragon Balls.[25] Within episodes 2-15, They would have many strange encounters and meet many unusual characters including the robot named Giru who would act as the gang's Dragon Radar. Upon arriving on Giru's home world the Machine Planet M2 in episode 16, the trio would be hijacked by Dr. Myu's robots and Trunks would be solidified in living metal for study. Ironically, the contents of the plate was not really Trunks, but a cleverly made decoy by both Trunks and Giru. Trunks would use the opportunity to uncover Dr. Myu's plan, which was to awaken Baby, and sabotage the process. Unfortunately Trunks' plan failed as Baby had managed to escape to Earth, When they returned home Baby had managed to possess Vegeta becoming "Baby Vegeta" and brainwash everyone else into becoming his followers. Shortly after arriving, Trunks would also fall victim to Baby's mind control and battle Goku. He along with everyone else would be freed on new planet Plant. Since the beginning of the GT series, Trunks had become the CEO of Capsule Corporation, but didn't take the job seriously.[26] During the Super 17 Saga, he along with Goten would travel the globe fighting the villains that escaped from Hell.
Trunks has appeared in most Dragon Ball related video games. He has also appeared in other related games such as Jump Super Stars, its sequel Jump Ultimate Stars, and Battle Stadium D.O.N. The game Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road centers around Trunks' battle with Majin Boo in his future timeline. In 1992, Trunks would act as escort through time in the interactive Videkko game Dragon Ball Z: Get Together! Goku World.[27] Trunks is also featured in the MMORPG Dragon Ball Online, where he is referred to as Time Patrol Trunks (タイム・パトロール・トランクス Taimu Patorōru Torankusu?).
In the Dragon Ball/One Piece crossover manga Cross Epoch, Trunks is a member of Captain Vegeta's air pirate crew. Trunks also made an appearance in the 2004 Fuji TV interactive feature Kyūtai Panic Adventure Returns!, where he and six other Dragon Ball characters delivered the Dragon Balls to restore the aqua city of Odaiba.[28]
In music, the song "Chīsa na Senshi~Goten to Trunks no Theme~" by Shin Oya focuses on both Trunks and Goten.[29]
Trunks has been featured in his own brand of soft drink called Trunks Cola.[30]
Trunks is a very popular character in the series, in 2004 Japanese fans voted him the fourth most popular character.[31] Trunks has appeared in various Anime Grand Prix polls, appearing fifth in the category "best male character" in the 1992 poll[32] and fifth again in the 1993 poll[33] and nineteenth in the 1994 poll.[34]
Trunks' Japanese voice actor, Takeshi Kusao, has cited Trunks as his favorite Dragon Ball character. He further stated in an interview that he was elated when he was cast to voice him. Kusao noted that Trunks' first appearance had an incredible impact and left a great impression on him, referring to his fight with Freeza in which he easily defeated the strongest being in the universe.[35] Similarly, Funimation voice actor Christopher Sabat stated that apart from Vegeta, Trunks is his favorite character from the series. He liked how his character is the "lone survivor of the apocalypse, son of the most angry and the most headstrong characters." He additionally liked Trunks' fights such as the one in which he easily killed Freeza.[36]
While reviewing the TV special The History of Trunks, which was adapted from the stand alone manga Trunks the Story: A Warrior All Alone,[7] Bobby Cooper of DVDtalk praised Trunks' background story, saying that it was a "good origin story that explains Trunks' motivation for becoming a fighter."[37] Similarly, Chris Shepard of Anime News Network also enjoyed the background story and felt that Trunks was an understandable character who "I was really able to get into and sympathize for during his battles."[38] In an IGN article on Dragon Ball GT, Trunks' character design in GT was criticized as being "goofy".[39]
In an interview, actor Masi Oka compared his Heroes character Hiro Nakamura to Trunks, as both are time travelers that carry swords.[40] Manga creator Tite Kubo stated that to this day no fight scene has shocked him more than Trunks' first appearance.[41]

Firefighters say new construction techniques pose big challenges for them. These days most homes are built out of lighter materials that burn much faster.
" You know you have lighter weight construction that burns much faster, materials that are in homes now produce more toxic gases when they burn, those provide challenges, but equipment continues to improve." Says Lanier Swafford, President of the Georgia State Firefighters Association.
And every year Georgia firefighters get to learn about the latest equipment, and technology available during their annual conference.
For the first time in decades, the conference is being held in Albany.
"Oh we have been looking forward to this for several months, its been since 1961 since Albany had its conference so its exciting," says Don Laye, Director of Fire Science at Albany Tech.
Some of the latest advancements in firefighting include thermal imaging.
"You know the ability to find people in smoke filled environments, that's been a great addition. You know some of the safety features that you now see in fire trucks. Airbags, better use of seat belts, those types of things. The gear we wear is safer, it allows better protection for the firefighter," says Swafford.
The conference is also an opportunity for people to do some networking.
"You see folks in like size departments, and many different areas of the state that are having accomplishments through doing this and together you maybe can resolve these problems because you have already walked in their shoes and can tell them what pitfalls can be coming or advantages they can use," he says.
This week firefighters will also learn more about fire insurance premiums, and attend Chaplin classes.

September is the month for street festivals in Louisville. Between Schnitzelburg, last week's annual Original Highlands Festival and No Coast, fall is an optimal time to block off and rock out.

Although billed as a "young adult" novel, it's a beautifully written and tenderly told story that readers of any age will fall in love with. "Eli the Good" is a powerful tale of the complexities of childhood and the realities of war – a quintessentially Southern novel filled with music, nostalgic detail, a deep respect for nature, and a powerful sense of place.

Vernon Lanes
1575 Story Ave.
$10; 9 p.m.-2 a.m.
It's the summer of 1977, and the clubs are overflowing with DJs spinning old school hip-hop and disco. Punk is emerging at a small venue at 315 Bowery known as CBGB, and a killer known as the Son of Sam is creating terror on the streets. OK, not really; that was more than 30 years ago in a city called New York. But the Vernon Club, right here in Louisville, will host NY'77, a musical tribute to that seminal New York summer, on Saturday. DJ Dwight Johnson and HAY DJ will spin the hip-hop, while the Deloreans and the Ladybirds will cover songs that defined the New York punk scene. Food and a full bar will be available, and the show is for 21 and over. Era costumes are highly encouraged, but don't try tripping the circuit breaker to create a memorial "blackout." That just wouldn't be cool. —Kevin Gibson

I will not obsess over Doris Yeh, I will not obsess over Doris Yeh … OK, I'm better now.
Photogenic bassist and cult-film actress Yeh is only one of myriad fascinations offered by the Taiwanese black-metal ensemble Chthonic, who'll shake up Uncle Pleasant's Sunday night. You're invited in for a seriously low ticket price, given all this act lavishes on its audience. The rapid-fire martial arrangements at the core of their tracks are the least of the entertainments. There are odd and often engaging turns in background instrumentation (two-string violin, for example). The lyrics constantly leap chasms of time and culture — from the traditions (and sometimes the language) of native Taiwanese, to the modern clashes between Chinese refugees and the monsters of the mainland … plus everything from ancient Greece to the Cthulhu Mythos. And then there's the pure theater of the outrageous costume garb and onstage extravagance. Hummable melodies are nowhere to be found, but this quintet gives "over the top" a good name. —T.E. Lyons
