Oehler has reluctantly suspended production of the Model 43. Our current inventory of these systems is depleted. Production of the Model 35P, industrial equipment and technical support for all Oehler equipment continues. You can still get warranty service and parts.
The Model 43 Personal Ballistics Laboratory is the ultimate instrument for the individual shooter. Used on your own shooting bench, it gives you more test power than is available at all but the most sophisticated industrial and government laboratories. As Rick Jamison says "You can learn more about real-world ballistics in a week with this unit than you could in years of studying books."
The only test data most of us see is muzzle velocity. Chamber pressure in the gun and downrange performance of the bullet is determined by a strange mix of folklore and computer programs. Unfortunately, most computer programs can only give old guesses displayed on the screen of a new computer. The Model 43 does much more; it actually measures pressure and measures downrange performance instead of guessing.
Muzzle Velocity · Proof Velocity · Peak Pressure · Pressure Rise Time · Pressure Curve · Area Under Curve · Time of Flight · Velocity at Target · Ballistic Coefficient · Group at Target Accurate Ballistics
The Model 43 measures chamber pressure using a small strain gage glued over the chamber area of your gun. You need not drill any holes in the barrel, but bluing will likely be marred. Measuring the inside and outside diameters at the gage location provides a realistic pressure scale for the readings. You can reliably compare the pressure generated by your handloads with the pressures generated by factory ammunition fired in your gun. You can reliably compare the pressures from different handloads in the same gun. You can measure the pressures generated by wildcats where there are no standards or factory ammo available for comparison.
The Model 43 is not intended to measure SAAMI pressures. The Oehler Model 83 is made for SAAMI applications.
ACOUSTIC TARGETIf your bullets are supersonic at the target, you can use the optional acoustic target. Special microphones record the bullet's passage and the system displays the exact hit location, time-of-flight, ballistic coefficient, and the velocity at the target. The large window of the acoustic target makes it easy to measure actual ballistic coefficients over long ranges.

Oehler has reluctantly suspended production of the Model 43. Our current inventory of these systems is depleted. Production of the Model 35P, industrial equipment and technical support for all Oehler equipment continues. You can still get warranty service and parts.
The Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 Pro, XP, and XP Pro operating systems are supported. Vista is not supported at this time. The computer must have a 9-pin serial port. If you must use a "dongle" to convert from USB port to 9-pin port, we suggest the unit by IO Gear.

Complete gun information is shown in the center column. Complete load information is shown in the right column. All the individual results (velocities, time-of-flight to target, ballistic coefficient, pressure data and pressure curve) are shown for each shot.

"Green Job" Fallacies (Part II: What is a 'Green' Job?)
Even if there were a usable model to analyze job creation, we are left with the problem of identifying which jobs are actually "green." A renewable project can result in the employment of technical personnel trained to specialize in operating or maintaining its technology (whom we presume are green), as well as additional bartenders who will help the workers to enjoy their evenings (harder to classify as green).
The matter is important because any type of governmental or private spending might open up slots for bartenders. Renewable technologies, however, have been viewed as the foundation for a massive increase in skilled workers whose human capital will provide them with higher lifelong earnings.
Two recent studies point up that the choice of definitions can affect estimates of the green workforce, and show that an extremely small fraction of jobs defined as green are in renewables.
Brookings Study: Bus Drivers, Trashmen "Green'
The Brookings Institution recently estimated 2.7 million jobs associated with the "clean economy." The categories include "Agricultural and Natural Resources Conservation" (18.9 %), "Regulation and Compliance" (5.3%), "Energy and Resource Efficiency" (31.0%), and "Greenhouse Gas Reduction, Environmental Management, and Recycling" (39.6%).[1]
The clean economy expands its bounds by creative classification. Thus we find that energy efficiency includes 350,000 people in public mass transit, mostly bus drivers, and environmental management includes 386,000 people in waste management, formerly known as trash disposal.
The researchers chose not to use an alternative definition that would have been far more helpful to most readers: how many clean jobs have (or will) come into being as a result of recent and proposed energy, environmental and climate regulations? (And, of course, how many others will vanish.)
Some additional insight is possible when we consider the Brookings' final category. "Renewable Energy" contains 138,000 clean jobs, only 5.1 percent of the total. If we subtract the 55,000 of them in hydropower, which most data sources class as nonrenewable, the figure is down to 84,000, or 3.1 percent of all clean jobs. 29,000 of this remainder are in solar (thermal and photovoltaic), which accounts for under 1 percent of actual renewable power production. 24,000 more are in wind (17.4 percent of renewable power workers and under 1 percent of total clean workers).[2]
Even if we are willing to assume very large "multipliers" from renewable power, its impact on employment will be trivial, whether taken as a fraction of all energy, clean economy jobs, or the entire labor force.
Washington State Study
A second study was performed by the Washington State Employment Security Department, entitled 2009 Washington State Green Economy Jobs (Mar. 2010).
Environmental awareness is high, and renewable energy (non-hydro) is a significant presence in this state. The study's four base categories are:
[1] Increasing energy efficiency
[2] Producing renewable energy
[3] Preventing and reducing environmental pollution, and
[4] Providing mitigation or cleanup of pollution.[3]
Like Brookings, a significant fraction of the study's identified "green" workers are bus drivers, trash handlers and the like. The Washington data show that renewable energy occupies 3,464 workers, 3.5 percent of the state's 99,979 green jobs.[4] Its current wind capacity is 2,357 MW, ranking it sixth among the states.[5]
Washington is one of the most active states in wind investment and production, but still only a small percentage of its green workforce works with renewables, including wind. The Washington study's authors further note that "construction-related industries and occupations, as well as professional and technical services occupations, accounted for the majority of all [renewable] positions.[6]
The majority of these jobs are in manufacturing and construction. Per project, both are short-lived, and once in operation "most renewable energy facilities operate with a relatively small number of operations and maintenance employees…. The proportion of part-time positions is higher for renewable energy than for any other private-sector core area (35 percent)."[7]
Both the Brookings and the Washington data tell similar stories. Green or clean jobs are not objectively definable, and cases like the bus drivers tell us that they are easy to inflate. Under both studies' definitions, renewable power jobs are small fractions of the total, and most will be short-lived construction work performed in the main by people with skills that are usable in almost any type of project.
Washington's wind units produce a higher fraction of the state's power than those of most other states, but their existence has not created any discernible difference in Washington's labor market performance. Similarly, it appears that most of the solar work force is in construction, where opportunities will diminish with the growth of installations. The past three years have led many to question the federal government's ability to create new employment and the odd logic that lies behind that hope.
The data from the above studies should make it clear to both believers and nonbelievers that renewable power is a singularly inappropriate and ineffective way to increase employment.
The public policy implications are clear: the invisible jobs from consumer-driven decisions should be contrasted with the visible bubble jobs of special government favor.
[1] Mark Muro, et al. Sizing the Clean Economy: A National and Regional Green Jobs Assessment(Brookings Institution, 2011).
[2]Brookings' authors note (at 12) that the American Wind Energy Association claims 30,000 "direct" workers and the Solar Energy Industries Association 24,000, roughly the same as the Brookings figures.
[3] Washington State Employment Security Department, 2009 Washington State Green Economy Jobs (Mar. 2010), 5. Brookings notes (at 14) that its total is approximately 19 percent higher than its own on a per capita basis.

I believe that specialized accountants or firms get a nice chunk of all that money. Prolific LLC's used for creative accounting methods (REPO 105′s etc.). Well done article and Jon's comments in part 1 are priceless.

Your belief is well founded. Just look at the array of pundits–economists, avian experts (some of whom travel the country from wind project to wind project, making the bulk of their living as a wind pundit), bat scientists, engineers–that a wind LLC assembles to testify in favor of a wind application before regulatory commissions. I've even seen priests, rabbis, and health profession brought in to testify for wind projects before regulatory hearings. Surely they are counted in the pool of green jobs.

Why were not solar panels installed at remote pipeline metering stations (miles away for the electric power grid) called "green jobs" 10 years or more ago? Control valves and instrumentation which require milliamps and 24 VDC really do not require enough power to justify installing a generator.

I wonder who will be winning this discussion in ten years time.
There are may who believe, as I do, that the Sun decides what seasonal changes we experience.
On or near the 22nd. December, 2012. our Sun's Heliosphere will be influencing our Earth when it enters the Negative Magnetic sectors of the Sun's Heliosphere, and when this occurs, our seasons will begin to revert back to what was accepted as normal, after 1978.
Yes!, our season has changed and Carbon Dioxide has had little to no effect to change this current season.
CO2 will always rise at its current rate of rise, and will continue for at least another one hundred years, rising at the same rate as of today.
Our Human race will not be able to alter this happening even if every human stopped breathing out.
Our Sun is NOT switching its magnetic polarity. Our Earth has a Spiral Orbital pattern that oscillates between the magnetic poles of our Sun, like our Moon's spiral orbital pattern that is Oscillating between the poles, here on Earth.
Once science gets back to what is factual and true and reminds the public what is actually happening, the better for everyone. We must all become patients of our Earth and accept what nature is dealing up to us all. And please do not get me wrong. I am the first to accept change for the betterment of mankind, one only has to look back on history to realize the we have made excellent progress in one thing and another. Just look at our current living standards today and look back at history and observe how they loved two hundred years ago.
We all have had in impact in one way or anther, in this progress, so let us not forget that our history had an important factor and value that must be kept, for without this history, we would never have been able to exercise this discussion.

After the news story about horse meat being substituted for beef, here's a story about a cow being used as a horse. Like many little girls 12-year-old Iris Becker dreamt of having her very own horse. However, when it became clear that this dream wouldn't become a reality, ingenious Iris came up with another idea - riding cows. The real life 'cow girl' is now a regular sight riding around the village of Wehe in Germany on the back of her bovine steed Jutta.

I like the changes to the Pro Bowl format in theory and look forward to seeing how it works out, but I had an
alternative curious idea for a pre-superbowl fiesta.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure this is a good idea, a terrible idea or what. I'm interested in what people have to say about it.
Seems like every year there are two teams that fans want to see matched-up, but for one reason or another—they're in the same conference, one of them has a bad game in the playoffs and gets an early exit, etc.—we never end up seeing that match up. Two great teams, or even two interesting teams, never play against each other (edit: or perhaps we want a rematch?).
Obviously, that's how it works and that's what makes the playoffs great, that do-or-die environment, but what if the fans could bring two eliminated teams back for one final game played the week prior to the Superbowl? No championship involved of course.
Does it weaken the importance of playoff games?
Would it take away from the actual Superbowl?
Would the two teams feel they are really playing for anything? Pride perhaps?

Toyota shares rise on smaller-than-expected settlement news
December 27, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Recalls , Safety , Toyota Following news that Toyota has proposed a massive settlement to address the owners of vehicles effected by the unintended acceleration recall, shares for the automaker are up 2.6 percent. Over the course of this year, Toyota's stock has jumped 51.7 percent. "My initiate reaction would be 'that's it'… $1 billion charge that covers recalls and everything else and you are looking at a $250 million compensation fund, that's nothing," said a senior trader at a foreign brokerage to Automotive News . This settlement has been set aside to cover class-action lawsuits from 16 million owners of Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles and is separate from other impending lawsuits – including one consumer protection suit in California and another unfair-business-practices case brought on by 28 attorneys general. In other positive news for investors, the Japanese yen has weakened compared to the US dollar. That likely means improved financial performance from the big Japanese automakers, the largest of which is Toyota.

Toyota to pay $17.35M federal fine for delayed Lexus RX recall
December 18, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hybrid , Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Crossover , Lexus , Toyota , Luxury This summer, we brought you news that Lexus was recalling over 150,000 RX and RX hybrid crossovers tied to its massive pedal entrapment issue. An update to that story included word from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it was considering launching a federal investigation into potential delays by the automaker in notifying owners about the problem. Now comes news that parent company Toyota will pay a hefty $17.35 million in fines for delaying its recall of the 2010 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h. According to The Detroit News , the Japanese automaker is being forced to pay the maximum fine for delaying recalls – and this isn't the first time. In fact, this is the fourth time since 2010 that Toyota has been required to do so, including paying $48.8M in civil penalties in 2010 for failing to recall vehicles in a timely manner – in three separate campaigns. In addition to the fines, Toyota has agreed to restructure the way it handles quality control and review "safety-related issues." Though the Japanese automaker has not admitted any wrongdoing, Toyota has agreed to meet with NHTSA for six months on the matter and may extend the meetings another six months. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he is counting on Toyota to improve its ability to address such safety issues: "With today's announcement, I expect Toyota to rigorously reinforce its commitment to adhering to the United States safety regulations," he said in a statement. According to the report, Toyota has recalled more vehicles than any other automaker so far this year – 5.3 million in 13 separate campaigns – putting it about two million units ahead of second-place Honda . This latest fine is a drop in the bucket compared to Toyota's expected global profits of $9.7 billion by the end of March, 2013. That said, Congress has already agreed to a new fine that will push the maximum penalty for delayed recalls up to $35 million.
Toyota issues recall for 150K Tacoma pickups over possible spare tire trouble
November 28, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Recalls , Safety , Toyota Toyota has initiated a recall of its Tacoma pick-up from the 2001 to 2004 model years, with up to 150,000 units affected. Tacomas sold in 20 snowbelt states and the District of Columbia could have an issue with the lift plate on their spare tire carrier, which is a piece of metal that helps raise the emergency spare wheel located at the back and underneath the truck. The plate might not have been properly coated with anticorrosion protection, and this could lead to the plate corroding on trucks driven in states that use salt on the roads during the winter. A lift plate failure could lead to the spare tire coming loose and causing an accident. Toyota is working on a remedy to the situation and will notify owners when it is ready. The release below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information, including all of the cold-weather states in which affected trucks are registered, and indicates that the recall should begin next month.

Toyota recalls 2.5 million vehicles over fire risk
October 10, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Toyota Toyota has announced a voluntary of around 2.5 million vehicles in the US for faulty window switches. The automaker says the driver's side power window master switch may develop a sticky or notchy feel during operation, and that if owners or technicians apply commercial lubricant, the switch my smoke or catch fire. The recall covers certain Yaris , RAV4 , Tundra , Camry , Camry Hybrid , Highlander , Highlander Hybrid, Sequoia , Corolla and Matrix models as well as Scion xD and xA units. All vehicles fall between the model years 2007 and 2009. Over 200 incidents involving the switches have been reported in the US alone, though the trouble hasn't caused any accidents or injuries. Toyota technicians will inspect, disassemble and apply special flourine grease to the switches free of charge. Owners can expect to receive a recall notice starting later this month. The 2.5M unit total only covers US vehicles – some 7.4M units will fall under this recall globally. Take a look at the full press release below .

Sen Grassley asks if Toyota got off easy with unintended acceleration debacle
July 13, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Technology , Toyota Toyota is facing further fallout from its recent unintended acceleration debacle, with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reopen its investigation into the situation that led Toyota to recall some eight million vehicles. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, Grassley has written a letter to NHTSA director David Strickland, stating in part, "Key questions about the cause of unintended acceleration remain unanswered." Grassley's contention is that because neither of the two independent investigations into the issue produced a definitive cause or explanation, further digging is necessary. Most of the unintended acceleration incidents in the NASA and National Academy of Sciences reports not attributed to trapped floormats or other problems with accelerator pedals were blamed on driver error, according to the report, but both studies concluded that other unknown issues could be at play. According to Automotive News , Grassley is particularly concerned about the "tin whiskers" phenomenon, in which tiny threads of conductive crystal can grow on circuit boards. Toyota has responded to the Grassley letter, issuing a statement that reads, in part, "There is no problem with the electronic throttle control systems in Toyota vehicles – and all the scientific evidence confirms it. So-called 'tin whiskers' are not a new phenomenon and do not represent a mysterious or undetectable problem in a vehicle's electronics."

Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Crossover , Hatchback , Toyota The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has grown its investigation into certain Toyota models to cover a full 1.4 million cars and trucks. Reuters reports the government safety agency has upgraded the investigation to a full-blown engineering analysis, which may eventually lead to a recall. NHTSA has received a number of complaints concerning fires tied to models built between September 2006 and August 2008 that use the same power window master switch design. All told, customers have reported nine injuries and 161 crashes or fires, though no deaths have been tied to the issue. The analysis covers 2007-2009 Camry , Camry Hybrid , RAV4 and Yaris models as well as 2008 Highlander Hybrid crossover. Back in February, NHTSA opened an investigation into 830,000 Camry and RAV4 units , though today's announcement grows that number to over 1.4 million models.

Scion FR-S faces teething problems, owner's manual recall
June 11, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Plants/Manufacturing , Recalls , Scion , Subaru , Toyota The Scion FR-S / Toyota GT86 / Subaru BRZ triplets are being recalled due to an issue not with the car, but with the owner's manual: pages detailing the operation of the smart airbags contain a misprint. Although it's classified as a recall, owners don't need to take their cars to their dealers; Scion and Subaru will be sending the nearly 2,800 owners corrected pages that can be inserted in the manual. If you'd rather have your dealer do the Elmer's Glue work, they will have corrected pages that they can insesrt in the owner's manual for you. Two separate issues seem to be affecting the FR-S only, even though it is built on the same line with the BRZ. Toyota issued "tech tips" to dealers to let them know that owners have reported that condensation has been forming inside the taillamp housings. According to an exchange on the FT86Club forum , the coupe's chief engineer declared that problem fixed after remedying a detail in the production process. Another tech tip regarding body panel issues read, "Some 2013 Scion FR-S vehicles may exhibit a condition where body panel fitting may not meet customer expectations." It refers to complaints that panels were as much as a quarter-inch out of flush. It isn't clear how many cars are affected, nor how many owners have formally complainted, but according to a post on TundraHeadquarters.com, Toyota is "looking into it."

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
June 9, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Recalls , Safety , Crossover , GMC , Honda , Saturn , Toyota The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota , Honda and General Motors crossovers. 2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation. In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue. Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons tells the The Detroit News , "We will fully cooperate with its [NHTSA] investigation." At least four of the complaints about the RAV4 claimed the tie rod failed at speeds above 35 mph, resulting in a loss of control. The NHTSA investigation summary states, "Pictures provided by some complainants show the wheel adjacent to the failed component severely out of wheel alignment with respect to toe and camber." No word on the timeframe for these investigations before it can be determined whether or not a recall is warranted.
Toyota announces service campaign to fix exhaust on 28,000 Prius V hybrids
April 16, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hybrid , Wagon , Recalls , Toyota Toyota engineers have worked hard to get the emissions that come out of the tailpipe of the Prius V down to a low level, but that doesn't mean everything is copacetic with the car's exhaust system. To fix a known problem, Toyota has announced a service campaign for the Prius V, both in the U.S. and Japan. The Wall Street Journal reports that the problem is with "weak actuators-control mechanisms" in the exhaust-heat-recovery systems that can end up leaking engine coolant, which will then force the car into a "safe" mode. Some second-gen, 2004-07 standard Prius models were affected by a similar problem in the past. The new issue affects about 8,000 vehicles in Japan and 20,000 in North America. Prius V owners will get the problem fixed for free. Toyota announces service campaign to fix exhaust on 28,000 Prius V hybrids originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:28:00 EST.

Toyota recalling Camry, Venza and Tacoma
March 9, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Toyota While Toyota recalls are no longer the earth-shattering news they were back in 2009 , they're still news. And today's announcement certainly qualifies for the modifier "big," with nearly half a million Tacoma pickups being recalled under one campaign, and 116,000 Venza crossovers and 70,500 Camrys under another. The 2009 Camry is the only model year covered by the recall, while 2009-2011 Venzas are affected. These vehicles may need a replacement stop lamp switch, which may have been installed incorrectly. Symptoms include warning lamps illuminating, a non-starting condition, and the inability to shift out of Park. The Tacoma recall covers some 2005-2009 models that may need their steering wheel spiral cable assembly replaced. Symptoms include an air bag warning lamp that does not go off after the vehicle is started, which could result in the driver's air bag being deactivated. In both cases, Toyota says it is "obtaining the necessary replacement parts" and owners will be notified by mail. Owners may also visit www.toyota.com/recall or call the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. See below for the full release.

SteelCityInsider is reporting that the Steelers signed the following free agennts:
* Offensive guard Dorian Brooks, 6-2, 306, James Madison.
* Safety Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith, 6-2, 210, UTEP.
* Offensive tackle Kyle Jolly, 6-6, 300, North Carolina.
* Fullback Demetrius Taylor, 6-0, 273, Virginia Tech.
* Defensive tackle Cordarrow Thompson, 6-2, 301, Virginia Tech
* Safety Justin Thornton, 6-1, 213, Kansas.
* Center/guard A.J. Trump, 6-3, 300, Miami.
However, I did a quick search on google and Demetrius Taylor appears to be a defensive tackle rather than a full back. Does anyone have any insight on whether this is a typographical error or are we trying this guy out as a fullback?
Anyone have any opinions on the rest of the signees?

Due to injuires in the QB front Pitt has brought in Pat Ramsey and Bouman to workout for a possible job per Profootballtalk.com. I would have more faith in Ramsey behind center than Batch, Dixon, or Bouman. He could still be a potential starter on a lesser team like Tampa Bay or even St. Louis. This could mean that Batch will be gone at season's end and/or Ben's injury might be a little more serious. I would love for Ramsey to be the backup in Pitt.
On another note... I would also like to see us draft a solid num. 2 running back in the draft in the 2nd or 3rd round. I hope CJ Spiller is available in the 2nd round, but I doubt it. We need a Safety, OLineman, or a feesable Linebacker or DT in the draft.

I've been so focused on Jackson Heights since I moved here a year ago, that I've ignored some of the other good places to be found in New York City. Ellen 9 has reminded me a couple of times about the stores in the upper 20s on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. And in fact, I was quite aware of them, especially when I lived in other parts of the city before – such as the year before this past year, when I lived at the bottom of the South Bronx, right on the Number 6 subway line, which would get me to Manhattan's bigger Little India in less than half an hour. (I say "bigger Little India" because Manhattan has another Little India, where people (mainly tourists) go to find restaurants, down on East 6th St., but I rarely go to visit that one, just maybe pass through on my way to other things.) I would usually go to this upper-20s area to pick up rice and bread and packaged dahl, to be found in several little stores within three blocks. And one of those stores is actually much more a Middle Eastern food supply store (though they have some Indian goods too), which has a little "deli" counter upstairs, with a few seats within it, next to some big windows looking out on Lexington Avenue. I became very fond of going to this store, sittiing upstairs, and relaxing next to the window as I ate one of their excellent mujadara sandwiches (used to do that pretty often, and once in a while I still do).
Right across the street, almost parallel to that window (though a little below it) is the window of a second-floor store that advertises Hindi and Tamil films. There were many times when I thought of going into the video store but didn't get around to it, especially after I had moved to Jackson Heights. But I realized today, when I finally strolled into the place, that I had underestimated it.
This video store is a delightful cozy little spot (with great air conditioning – much appreciated today), with a lot of old Bollywood movies. It's much quieter and less trendy than the couple of stores that I'm most familiar with on 74th Street in Jackson Heights, which specialize more in the latest music. Around the time when I started this blog, when I was much more interested in 21st Century desi club music, those stores were more interesting to me. But that might be changing for me now that my tastes have strangely shifted so much to mid-20th Century Indian films.
What I liked about visiting the store on 28th Street was not just that it was physically more comfortable and quieter (something I can sometimes appreciate now that I'm middle aged), nor just that it had a fun selection out on display, but that the guy I spoke to instantly knew what I was talking about when I asked him for certain things. (Though he didn't have to be so insistent on correcting my pronunciation – and I have to tell you, it was a bit embarrassing to me when I found out that I wasn't pronouncing my beloved Padmini's name perfectly.) This, though, had not been the case when I went into that last store on 74th Street in the Jackson Heights, where the kid didn't know of the movies I was asking for. But then, the kid in the Jackson Heights store probably would have been pretty sharp if I asked him about the latest DJ bhangra hip-hop music (I'm not sure of this, but I'm guessing that would be the case). The guy in the 28th Street store seemed fairly young (and somewhat hip) too, but he knew the old movies well.
So, while the guy in the Jackson Heights store didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned Naya Daur, this guy told me instantly that they had two copies, both the black and white and the colorized. And when I told him that I was looking for this film with Raj Kapoor and Padmini, he instantly took out a copy of Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai. And that was pretty cool!
Not so cool, though, are the prices. He said that Naya Daur was $20 and Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai was $18. He also said that this was because the company putting out the movies happened to charge very high prices. I wondered if the prices would be as high if I did find both movies in Jackson Heights, where I was able to pick up Shree 420 for $8, and I've been able to pick up soundtracks for $5. (As I've said, it could be that the Jackson Heights stores are selling used/promo/repackaged stuff sometimes – though if they are, I can't tell.) With this in mind, I'm going to have to check out a couple of more stores around here, just to make sure… (Maybe I wouldn't be so picky about prices if I actually had a job right now, but unfortunately…)
I will also take Sita-ji up on one of her suggestions to check the library. And if the library proves successful, I'll probably end up there. (Plus, I'll update this post to report of that success.)
But if I can't find a library-borrowable copy or a much cheaper copy, then I'll be happy to give some of my money to the aforementioned store, while I still have that money left. Maybe I'll do it sometime next week, if/when I go to the Barnes & Noble in the area to pick up the new paperback edition of Mihir Bose's Bollywood: A History – which Sita-ji also recommended a while back. (By the way, the paperback edition came out yesterday, according to the computers – yea! – but still isn't on the shelves for some reason, so I ordered a copy, which they're saying should take three to four days.)
And if anybody else is wandering around Manhattan looking for Hindi and Tamil movies, take my word that it's worth visiting this place.
P.S. Yes, I know about the online buying option, but I'm a little averse to that. I generally don't buy things online (I never even activated the card that I would need to do that with – since I can't use the old credit card anymore), and if I'm actually buying a movie, I'd like to have the thing on CD in my hands, with packaging and all, bought from a live human being, at a real store. (This is especially true since I've had some troubles downloading movies from certain sites lately, but it's also true in general. Maybe another way I'm just not keeping up with the changing times.) If I have that option…

The XRefinery™ platform produces ultra-clean petroleum (CleanPetroleum™) and electricity from renewable biomass (wood waste, agricultural waste, and sustainable energy crops) and other non-biogenic feedstocks (municipal solid waste, plastics, tires, coal, and more). The XRefinery™ produces ZERO stack emissions, and no waste byproducts. The electricity produced provides 100% of the plant operating requirements, with an excess of 80% sold to the local power grid.
The XRefinery™ may be configured in two primary output configurations:
The XPetroleum™ production system is able to convert carbon–bearing solids to syngas, and its patented catalyst technology converts the syngas into CleanPetroleum™ liquids such as diesel, naphtha, gasoline or alcohols. Electricity is co–generated via heat recapture from the process.
The XPetroleum™ configuration converts feedstock to liquid fuel at a significantly higher efficiency, and with ZERO stack emissions, in stark contrast to the conversion technologies of existing combustion and gasification (pyrolysis / plasma) processes.
The XElectricity™ production system is able to convert carbon–bearing solids into syngas and then convert the syngas into clean electricity via its patented Tornado Engine™.
The XElectricity™ configuration converts feedstock to electricity at a significantly higher efficiency than any of the known market alternatives, including (A) the conversion technologies of existing combustion and gasification (pyrolysis / plasma) processes, (B) traditional electric power technologies (i.e. coal, natural gas, nuclear), and (C) all traditional "renewable" technologies such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc.

Yesterday's draft like every draft had some real suprises. Who saw 4 QBs going in the top 15. Locker before Gabbert, Prince falling to the giants or Cam Jordan falling to the saints. Here are my Jet predictions for day two. On Jets Nation yesterday Rex said he found another late round favorite of his, another offensive late round player that he likes look at the offensive players Jets draft on day 3
1. Jets trade down to aquire more picks
2. Jets trade up and draft Justin Hoouston - Houston had a 2nd round grade by some before the combine drug test results came in now perhaps he starts to free fall going into the bottom of the 2nd. The Jets feel like they can make him into a pass rusher from their workouts with him and decide he is worth trading up for.
3. Jets trade up into the 3rd for Kendrick Ellis - Ellis is on alot of people's board as 3rd round pick and if he somehow gets by Pittsburgh at the bottom of the 2nd he may start to slide into the mid 3rd where the Jets decide his value is too great to pass up and possibly sure up the D-Line for years to come giving the Jets 2 young D-lineman who can contribute right away.
4. Jets stay pat and draft Jaiquann Jarett - After drafting his teammate in the 1st Jets answer their need at safety by drafting Jarett in the bottom of the 3rd possibly trading up a few spots to secure him

Atrix 4G ICS Leak
For those of you who may not follow XDA Developers very closely, one of the CM10 developers for the Atrix 4G manage to get ahold of a copy of an August build of Ice Cream Sandwich (from Motorola) for our very own MB860. Anyone interested should check out the original thread here:
And the thread with the necessary files to flash through CWM here:
There are some issues with this build as it was never fully baked and surely never meant for public consumption. So far the phone seems to be running hot and is suffering from random reboots. Someone has already posted some build.prop tweaks to help with the reboots problem, so it's only a matter of time before that is no longer an issue. Either way, the list of "what works" is far longer than any third party ICS release and includes all of the following:
- Working camera and video camera
- Working fingerprint scanner
- Working webtop 3.0
- Hardware acceleration
- Plus all of the other things working from the various ICS builds over the months
Overall, this is what we were waiting for. Motorola may have screwed the community at the last second, but whoever leaked this build just earned a place in Atrix history. I've heard that a build for the LG Optimus 2X also leaked and the Atrix 2 got an official release of ICS so there is a lot of Tegra 2 lovin' today.
So let me say thank you to Emerson Pinter (epinter) for posting this build and everyone else on the Atrix 4G board/XDA Developers forum for all their hard work.

TEAMS: Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees
The Chicago Cubs today made a big splash in free agency, signing Japanese closer Kyuji Fujikawa, according to Ken Rosenthal. The deal, according to Rosenthal's tweets say that Fujikawa will be paid $9.2 Million over the course of a two year contract. The deal also consists of an option for a third year vesting that is worth $5.5 option which the Cubs can pick up at any point. The deal also comes with a $500K buy out. If you notice, his deal comes much cheaper than what Marmol is making this year. In case you have no idea who Fujikawa is, he is a very high profile closer from the Japanese baseball league ahis six and has put up impressive numbers in his six year career. With a grand total of 202 saves, along with an ERA of 1.36 he should immediately be able to slide into the Cubs closer role, even though that is currently occupied by Carlos Marmol. With Fujikawa being added to the ball club, there is only a question mark of what to do with Marmol. One option is moving back into the s...

It is well established that solitary confinement is cruel and psychologically damaging. Many of the SHU's indefinite residents haven't even broken prison rules. They are there because the California Department of Corrections claims they are connected to prison gangs. Such arbitrariness and cruelty has no place in a constitutional democracy. California should reexamine this practice.

Principles and Standards
Development Principles
General Principles
These are the general principles governing Website development projects in HCMC:
- As far as possible, re-use code and write new code that lends itself to reuse and ease of maintenance.
- Separation of concerns (structure/content, style, executable). Content should be easily editable by non-technical staff using text editors, and complex code should be in separate files (CSS, JS, and include files).
- 100% support for current W3C standards.
- No reliance on proprietary plug-ins, special configurations etc.
- No gratuitous graphics; in particular, no use of graphics to represent text, or to create features such as rollovers.
- Write code to W3C standards and expect browsers to support them rather than optimizing for any specific browser or platform. Good coding habits result in pages that will be readable in old browsers; they just won't look pretty.
- Make every effort to ensure that code complies with the guidelines of the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative. Again, sound coding practice takes us much of the way towards this goal.
- Developers are expected to work with programmer's tools. For example, a text editor with syntax highlighting is acceptable, but WYSIWYG editors in DreamWeaver or FrontPage are not. It is part of our mandate to train our assistants and workstudy students in technical skills.
Technical Standards
Standards for Web Pages
All Web documents and files produced by HCMC must conform to the following standards:
Structure and Content
All pages must be written in XHTML 1.1, barring exceptional circumstances. A good tutorial on XHTML is available at http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp.
Pages must have the following opening tags:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
All pages must be validated using the W3C's validator at http://validator.w3.org/, using automatic detection of character encoding and document type. The validator's approval graphic should be displayed somewhere on the site.
Page Layout, Text Styling Etc.
All text styling, positioning and page layout should be accomplished with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). A good tutorial on CSS is available at http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp.
The CSS should be centralized in a separate CSS file and linked from each page. As much as possible, the CSS selectors used should be plain XHTML tags; proprietary classes should be used only where necessary, and if possible, limited to areas of pages likely to be edited only by technical staff.
CSS files must be validated using the W3C's validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (CSS version 2 or above), and the validator's approval graphic should be displayed somewhere on the site.
Client-side script
All client-side scripting should be in JavaScript/ECMAScript, and wherever possible should be stored in separate JS files. All JavaScript should be clearly commented, and should adhere to a regular coding standard -- for instance, if camelback notation is used, it should be used everywhere.
If XHTML standards are fully adhered to, and all styles are centralized in stylesheets, then even old browsers should display the text in a readable manner. This can be tested by renaming the stylesheet temporarily, to see the site displayed without styles.
Server-side processing
PHP is provided on the university's web server, use it to include elements repeated on numerous pages and to generate standards-compliant xhtml from the results of a query to a database.
MySQL is provided by the university as a back-end database for projects requiring such resources.

Stow That co-founder Joe Mele wants homeowners to list empty garages on his site so neighbors can pay to store kayaks there. Stow That
The UpTake: The peer-to-peer rental or exchange trend grows with a new Seattle-area startup that connects people who have extra stuff with neighbors who have extra room to store it.
When I first moved to Seattle, my husband and I had to immediately figure out what we were going to do with our two 14-foot kayaks. Keeping them in our third-floor apartment was not going to happen.
We thought about renting storage space, but it was expensive and we'd just moved across the country, so we were a little strapped for cash. Luckily, we had a friend in Edmonds, Washington with some space in his garage where we could store them for free. We were very lucky. But I will say, that first summer we used the boats only once because driving to Edmonds, loading them, then driving wherever we wanted to put in was a bit of a pain.
What if you could find someone with some space who lives on your block? Well, now there's a way.
A Seattle startup called Stow That launched a new service Wednesday that aims to connect people who have available storage space with people who need to store stuff. It's a relatively simple concept.
"The idea is, you're not going to some big facility that could be anywhere in the city, but you could find something that could literally be down the block from you," said Stow That co-founder Joe Mele.
The big storage companies, like Public Storage, are Stow That's competition, but Mele is confident that his company can offer something the big companies can't: a diversity of prices, spaces and locations. He does admit that getting the storage space suppliers to list on the site is the biggest hurdle for the company.
"We're looking for people who are looking to increase their income a bit. People who own rental homes, looking to rent out extra storage, like empty nesters or struggling homeowners," he said.

I don't know how many of you experienced this, but NBA league pass had the Blazers home telecast. I thought their fans were homers, but these guys take the cake. I am used to some homerism, but our guys will actually point out the defects of the Suns players as well as the other team. To these guys, the Blazers could do no wrong. Here are just a few examples:
Goran Dragic is lucky to make his layups as he out of control while Armon Johnson was embarrassing Goran on the offensive end. Goran needs to forget Euro ball and learn the NBA.
No way Lopez could possibly win a tip against Batum. Uh ok.
Nash led the league in turnovers last year. I have this thoroughly ingrained in my head as they pointed it out every time he, or any other Sun for that matter, had a turnover. It was a point of discussion for about 25% of the second half.
My personal favorite. The the only reason Nash won his MVP's was because of a rule change. It could also be that he is the best point guard over the past 10 years and one of the all time greats.
I wish I would have written them down. They were almost as frustrating as watching our lead slip away. I could come with something witty about the obvious superiority of the Blazers over the Suns, but instead I will just revel in our PLAYOFF series win from last year.
P.S. Feel free to post other humorous comments from the game here. Also feel free to tell me how off base I am and that our guys are just as bad. Sorry. I am just a homer.

Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge Wonders About Overseas Option
I wonder if D Will needs a big man to play with overseas ?! Hmmm— Lamarcus Aldridge (@aldridge_12) July 13, 2011
On Tuesday, Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge tweeted... -------------------- I wonder if D Will needs a big man to play with overseas ?! Hmmm -------------------- The reference is to New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams, who agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Besiktas of the Turkish league last week. The deal reportedly includes an opt-out clause should the NBA return from its lockout. Aldridge and Williams are in very different positions in terms of their contracts. Williams will have the ability to opt-out of his current contract following the 2011-2012 season. Aldridge is signed with the Blazers through 2014-2015. A number of NBA players have made noise about playing overseas -- including All-Stars like Kevin Durant, Amar'e Stoudemire and others -- but Williams is the only high level player who has agreed to terms on a deal so far. -- Ben Golliver | firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter

The Sixers are in a tough spot. Assuming they don't re-sign Bynum, they will still only be about 14mm under the cap. They will hold a late lottery pick in a crappy draft. Rather than spending the summer attempting to create a 45-win team for next season, I would much prefer they look at the ages of their core players (Jrue is 22, Thad is 24, Turner is 24) and add another young talent. I honestly don't care if the Sixers win 25 or 30 or 35 or 40 or 45 games next season. Jrue is a good FIVE YEARS from entering his prime. The road map for a championship, without Bynum, has to be a five year plan. Minimum.
Acquiring a young player with significant upside is difficult. Any such available player will have flaws in his game. Looking at the landscape of free agency this summer, two players fit the description: Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans. Jennings is a point guard who shoots sub-40% from the field. Nuff said. Then there is Tyreke Evans. Here are the positives:
1) big, physical shooting guard who can rebound/pass
2) takes the ball to the basket (more than half his shot attempts this year are at the rim)
3) gets to the free throw line a good amount
The one glaring negative is his jumpshot. But what is interesting is that, similar to Evan Turner, he is showing some flashes of a consistent 3-pt jumper this season. He is shooting a career-best 35% from deep. And since, unlike Turner, he excels at getting to the basket and scoring/drawing fouls, his TS% this year is up to 54.9%, which is really good. Players generally improve their jumpshot over the course of their careers, and if you force him and Turner to shoot 1,000 3-pointers every day this summer, it could help alleviate some of the spacing issues that would normally exist with a SG/SF combo who both struggle to shoot from deep.
The Kings have a nasty salary cap situation. They will most likely re-sign Isaiah Thomas this summer. They are currently paying Marcus Thornton 8mm/year to come off the bench. It seems likely that if a team offers Evans a decent chunk of money, the Kings would let him walk.
So how much would I offer Evans? 4 years, 40mm. By the following summer, once Hawes/Kwame/Lavoy/Dorrell/Swaggy have all come off the books, the roster would essentially just be Jrue (11mm), Evans (10mm), Thad (9mm), and Turner (9mm), plus one more year of J-Rich at 6mm. Point is, the Sixers could have 4 young/promising players whose salaries would add up to less than 40mm/year. They could go after a max contract FA the following summer, or (more likely) use the cap space to absorb a nasty contract in order to acquire a top flight player (like they did with J-Rich/Bynum).
In closing.... no, Tyreke Evans is not a perfect solution, nor is he a franchise player. But rather than trying to get back into the playoffs next season by acquiring a veteran like Al Jefferson, I would rather they go after a young player who is years away from reaching his prime.

MORETOWN, Vt. (AP) - Central Vermont's Moretown Landfill has closed, but there's been some illegal dumping on several town roads.
Vermont Public Radio reports town Road Foreman Martin Cameron told the select board that mattresses, bags of garbage, tires and other items have been found.
The board also heard that people have been seen using school dumpsters to dump trash. The town has started locking the dumpsters and is investigating roadside dumping enforcement options.
The landfill was one of only two in Vermont when it was closed by the state at the end of March because of environmental concerns and odor complaints.
The landfill reopened for local customers only in April, but closed again July 15. Its owners have indicated they plan to apply for a permit to open a new section.

Use Only as Directed is a media and education campaign funded by the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice and a federal grant awarded to the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. The campaign is designed to prevent and reduce the misuse and abuse of prescription pain medications in Utah by providing information and strategies regarding safe use, safe storage, and safe disposal of these potentially dangerous drugs.
In 2006, the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health was awarded a five-year, federal grant. Following a comprehensive data analysis and creation of an epidemiological profile of the substance abuse issues in the state, funding was distributed to Utah's 13 Local Substance Abuse Authority (LSAA) agencies to develop strategies to address two primary goals, one of which was the prevention of prescription drug abuse.
In 2007, the Utah State Legislature passed House Bill 137, appropriating two years of funding to the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) to establish a program to reduce deaths and other harm from prescription opiates. The Prescription Pain Medication Management and Education Program was created and led by the Department of Health in collaboration with Utah's Attorney General, Labor Commission, and Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL). The resulting campaign was titled "Use Only as Directed." The objective of the program was to reduce the number of unintentional prescription pain medication overdose deaths.
In January 2009, the Utah Pharmaceutical Drug Crime Project (UPDCP) was convened to address the growing problem of prescription drug abuse in Utah. A public-private, multidisciplinary partnership, UPDCP involves over 20 local, state and federal experts in the fields of substance abuse prevention and treatment, law enforcement, environmental quality, medicine, human services, the judiciary and public health, as well as legislators and prosecutors. UPDCP established an Executive Committee and an Advisory Committee with subcommittees in the areas of Law Enforcement, and Public Awareness and Training. With its broad focus and membership, UPDCP was able to effectively bring together the efforts of the Utah Pharmaceutical Drug Crime Law Enforcement Task Force with those implementing the Utah Behavioral Healthcare Committee's Prevention Network and the Use Only as Directed campaign.
In 2010, at the recommendation of the UPDCP Public Awareness and Training Subcommittee, the Salt Lake City Police Department, UPDCP's lead fiscal agency, applied for and was awarded a grant from the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) to create and conduct a public awareness campaign to educate Utahns about the safe use, storage and disposal of prescription pain medications. Federal funding that had been designated for a media campaign by the Local Substance Abuse Authority agencies was added to the grant to enhance and expand the scope and reach of the new Use Only as Directed campaign.
