Rigid Industries Marine SR-Q Diffusion Spreader LED Light - Pair 94551$234.64
Big Power in a Small Package - The Rigid Industries SR-Q LED Light is one of the most versatile lighting products on the market today. This compact LED light can be used for virtually any lighting application - from off-road to agriculture. The SR-Q utilizes the same technology as the D-Series, but in a wide configuration, instead of square. The size and shape of the SR-Q LED Light allows it to fit almost anywhere. Its cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens are sealed against the elements for years of trouble-free operation.
Spreader Light - Bright lights that are designed to cover a wide area. Used on many types of marine applications from Sail boat masts and off shore fishing boat towers to light up the fishing area or deck. Power boats, fishing boats and other boating platforms also use spreader lights are used to light up decks, underneath gunnels and anywhere you need to light up a large area. Similar to the power of a flood light, the spreader lights provide more of a "cloud" of light to help give you more coverage using less power.
Marine Grade - The Marine Series products are given special attention due to the elements they will be exposed to in a marine environment. The aluminum housing receives a chromate conversion coating that acts as a corrosion inhibitor against elements such as salt. Rigid then gives the housing a high quality, UV-resistant powder coat finish. Rigid uses 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware that receives a coating that's been tested for over 1,000 hrs of corrosion resistance. The mounting bracketry included with the marine products is also 316 stainless steel. This product does not include a wire harness or switch, due to the fact that most installations on marine equipment are custom and require smaller holes and unique components.
Diffusion Lens - Perfect for scene or area lighting, the diffusion lens was specifically engineered to project light at a 60º flood pattern. Combine that with Rigid's patented optics and you have the best LED flood light in the industry. Like the standard lens, the diffusion lens is made from optically clear, unbreakable polycarbonate plastic.
Hybrid Optics - Rigid's patented Hybrid optics system is the most powerful, most efficient LED optics system on the market. Utilizing a combination of lens and reflector, the Hybrid optics system captures the maximum amount of light emitted from the LED and projects it exactly where you want it.
Quality Construction - Rigid's circuitry is designed in-house to be more powerful, be more efficient, and generate less heat. The durable aluminum housings feature custom, over-sized heat sinks which keep the temperature down and allow the LED's to run cooler and brighter. All Rigid Industries LED lights receive a high quality powder coat finish, a custom-molded rubber seal, and an unbreakable, scratch resistant lens. Rigid Industries LED lights are engineered to withstand whatever you, the road, or nature can throw at them.

RPI to conduct joint research on nanotech lubricant
Send this to a friend
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Florida will use $2.5 million in federal funds to develop a synthetic lubricant for aircraft and spacecraft.
RPI's portion of the five-year-award comes to $1 million. Researchers at the school's Nanotechnology Center will use the funds to develop a lubricant that remains effective on Earth and in outer space.
"Vehicles that voyage from Earth's warm and humid environment into the extreme cold vacuum of space require lubricants that can perform under a great range of conditions without fail," said Linda Schadler, who will lead RPI's research team, in a release.
The lubricant will consist of thin layers of carbon nanotubes, polymers, and ceramics, and is expected to reduce wear by 1,000 times or more. Nanotubes are made from carbon atoms that are arranged in a cylindrical structure.
The lubricants are intended to be used in the bearings of antenna pointing systems, gyroscopes, transmission components and other applications.

The Conservatives' double standards tell us who they truly support
Arms manufacturers good. Labour unions bad.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It was reported last weekend that the government doesn't want the United Nations to track global arms sales because it might compromise "the legally protected information of private companies." At the same time, its wants every Canadian union to disclose the details of their cleaning contracts.
In an overwhelmingly negative speech to the UN last week, Foreign Affairs Deputy Director Habib Massoud laid out the Conservatives' position on the final round of Arms Trade Treaty negotiations. "In Canada's view, detailed reporting about each and every transaction can, in certain circumstances, be both impractical and unrealistic. The sheer volume of such transactions would overwhelm virtually any administrative system now in existence."
Taking a position that puts Canada offside with the bulk of the international community, Massoud called for the proposed arms tracking secretariat to be "minimal, small, and flexible" and financed entirely through existing UN budgets. He added that the arms tracking secretariat must safeguard "the legally protected information of private companies or the personal information of private individuals."
While the Conservatives jump to defend the privacy rights of arms dealers they are trying to force unions to disclose information on tens of thousands of Canadian workers receiving direct or indirect union benefits or working within or for labour organizations. Sponsored by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert, Private Member's Bill C-377 is set for final reading when the House of Commons returns from its summer break. Thus far the opposition parties have opposed the bill and the Conservatives have supported it.
C-377 would require every trade union and labour trust (pension plan, training fund as well as health and welfare funds) to file a public information return with the Canada Revenue Agency on all expenditures over $5,000. This information would be made publicly available, which would give employers an advantage in bargaining or when trying to thwart a unionization drive. A similar database set up by George Bush's administration in the U.S. is used by anti-union businesses to weaken workers.
Labour unions are among the few institutions that can and do provide a counterbalance to the power of corporations. Yet the Conservatives are not requiring companies that bargain with trade unions to file detailed reports to the Canada Revenue Agency on their salary, political or lobbying spending. Additionally, they are not requiring other professional associations that collect fees or dues from their members, such as the Canadian Medical Association for example, to follow the terms of Bill C-377.
They are only requiring the institutions created to represent the interests of millions of workers across the country to file these detailed records. There is no other way to interpret this than as an attempt to disarm a political opponent.
Much like what Habib Massoud was hinting at when talking about those involved in the arms trade, the detailed reporting required by Bill C-377 will be burdensome, costly and threaten the privacy rights of many individuals, companies and organizations that work with unions. Incredibly, under the proposed legislation, labour-associated pension and benefit plans will be required to publicly disclose "the name and address" and a "description" of benefits paid to individuals greater than $5,000. This could include personal medical information.
Bill C-377 should be scrapped but that doesn't mean there isn't a need for greater transparency for all major Canadian institutions. But any requirements imposed by the government need to be applied equally. There shouldn't be one set of standards for the groups the Conservatives don't like and another for their friends selling arms.
Dave Coles is president, communications, of the Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada.

Rhodri Marsden: Why it's not overly healthy to compare oneself to David Bowie
Life on Marsden
A few days ago I found myself walking around the Bowie exhibition at the V&A, gawping at his prodigious output during the 1970s and bemoaning my failure to produce anything comparable during the same period. While Bowie was recording "Heroes", I was playing a goblin in a mercifully short run of a school play called Jan's Journey written by my headmaster, Mr Curtis. It's an unhelpful comparison, obviously.
Bowie was a spectacular talent reaching creative maturity, working with Eno and Fripp. I was six, working with a bunch of six-year-olds who wouldn't know dramatic irony if it was served up for lunch with chips and beans and called "dramatic irony, chips and beans".
But you can't help but make these pointless comparisons when confronted with an exhibition like this. Bowie was 24 when he wrote "Life on Mars", for chrissakes. I just thought back to when I was 24, and I think I spent most of that year worrying whether I might have new variant CJD. Brilliant.
Faced with the problematic atheist position of not knowing what the purpose of human life is, I tend instead to perform arithmetic based upon other people's achievements to work out what I ought to have done by such-and-such a year. For example, I frequently have the niggling thought that by the time my dad was my age, he already had a 12-year-old son. Me. I was getting into The Smiths at the time. In fact, "Hand in Glove" by The Smiths came out exactly 30 years ago – and if you go back another 30 years, Elvis hadn't even set foot in a recording studio!
What does this mean? Not much – but it contributes to an unsettling feeling of underachievement coupled with the seemingly rapid passing of time.
A few years ago I started avoiding reading biographies of people who'd achieved stuff at an early age, consoling myself instead with thoughts of Kenneth Williams, who wasn't in Carry on Camping until he was 43, or Mother Teresa, who didn't bag the Nobel Prize until she was 69.
So there's still hope, right? I still have time to appear in a bawdy British comedy, surely, or perhaps set up an orphanage, I think to myself, as I slump on the sofa on a Sunday, stuffing some Pringles into my face because there's nothing else to do.

|Rescue Me ID: 14-11-13-00256Dylan (male)
Darling Dylan! If this boy were human, he'd be the life of the party! Dylan is a very sweet, goofy 4yr old, 75lb boy that still acts like a puppy (selective hearing when given the 'come' command). If he doesn't want to come inside when called, he'll either run or lay on his back and cover his eyes with his paws... he's such a goof! Dylan is great with other female dogs, both large and small but is not particularly interested in having a male buddy. He's great with kids but because of his size and wiggly, goofy nature, children over 12 would be best. He must have a securely fenced backyard in which to romp and play. He love to go for ... (Read More)walks and hiking, and he especially LOVES the water. NO cats for this boy. (Less)

|Rescue Me ID: 14-10-26-00169Maddie (female)
Maddie, like most Blue Heelers, is a very loving and high energy dog who requires lots of exercise. She is extremely intelligent, loyal and loves to play frisbee and fetch. Maddie gets along fine with most dogs but would be happiest as a single family dog. Maddie will not try to eat cats, but she will chase them. Maddie would do well with a very active family that can take her running, swimming or hiking regularly and is willing to put in lots of training time. When Maddie was a puppy she hurt her knee while playing fetch and was not treated for the injury. It slows her down a little but she gets along fine. If you are interested in ...

|Rescue Me ID: 14-09-11-00004Billy (male)
Billy needs a great home with room to run and play. He is a wonderful dog! Gets along really well with cats and dogs. He does get anxious when there are a lot of people around (6 is pretty much his limit) especially when there is another dog there. Right now he is in an only pet home. Billy is also not good with men who have a lot of facial hair and glasses, it took him quite a while to warm up to my grandfather. He is so loving and all he wants to do is play! Great with kids. Even when they crawl over him or tugs on his tail (my nephew was two, but he knows better now) so no worries there. HIs back is about three feet high, definitely a ... (Read More)sizable dog. He is also very sensitive about his paws, he absolutely does not like getting his nails clipped. Doesn't like being left alone and has separation anxiety, so he will bark and whine. He is not destructive, just vocal. Wherever he goes, he will go with two bags of food. Please call/email with any questions! (Less)

|Rescue Me ID: 14-06-04-00576Molly (female)
Little Miss Molly... this adorable girl weighs approx 40-45lbs and is approx 3.5yrs old... and what a doll!! According to the DNA test (of which we have copies), this little girl is an interesting mix of Rotti and Italian Greyhound... with a couple of other breeds in her far off ancestry thrown in. Molly loves to run and play fetch, and she absolutely loves the water. She's also very sweet and cuddly and loves people. She's often nervous when meeting new dogs so calm, controlled introductions are necessary. Once she realizes the other dog just wants to play, she loves to join in. Molly is a very nice girl that already knows some basic ... (Read More)commands and she's quickly learning more. She will thrive in a home that has a big backyard in which to play with the kids and another medium energy, like size or larger dog... but no cats for this girl! She's very quiet and shares her toys/food/treats willingly with the other dogs. She loves to take long walks, jogs, go camping and have lots of lake or beach outings. That is, unless you have a pool in which she can play! (Less)

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Rottweiler in Washington
Rottweiler Dogs can make good pets in Washington if they match your IifestyIe. The Rottweiler is a large breed herding and guard dog. Rottweilers are very stable and brave. This breed needs a firm, experienced handler from the very beginning. Rottweilers can be good family pets that are trustworthy with children and other pets if they are trained and socialized from an early age. If a Rottweiler is not treated properly it can become aggressive. Rottweilers need plenty of exercise and can run in open country without a leash. Rottweilers can live in an apartment or a home with a small yard if they get enough exercise.

Top 5 'Lonely C' Video Countdown!
Several months ago, we announced a video contest for Soul Clap feat. Charles Levine's track 'Lonely C' from the Soul Clap / Wolf + Lamb's DJ-Kicks mix. The idea was that we'd get to interact with fans a bit, get to see some interesting interpretations of the track, and hopefully meet some exciting talent. And did we ever. So overwhelming was the quality of the submissions that it was almost impossible for the artists to narrow the videos down to one winner. So we're cheating a bit, and counting down five of all of our favorite submissions. All of these could easily stand on their own as a video art piece, and each has a unique aesthetic and take on the track. We'll start things off with a video from NYC's Jeremy Teicher & Jeremie Duval. Check out their amazing live action / animation video, and see below for more information on the directors.

This year finds Israel safer and wealthier than ever. During 2010, border
casualties were down to a minimum and the per capita GNP is on par with many
southern European countries. For this reason it saddens me that the country may
soon have to give up the identity it has worked so hard to shape over the past
six decades. Israel is headed toward a critical ideological junction that will
force it to choose between its Jewish identity and its democratic nature. At
this stage, and considering the extenuating circumstances, it can no longer keep
both titles.Armed with impressive economic achievements, the current
leadership has already made up its mind; it prefers to stick to the Jewish
identity and give up the commitment to being a full-fledged democracy. Last
week, a Knesset motion was passed to establish a committee that would
investigate the loyalty of several NGOs. These include organizations whose very
existence attests to the country's democracy.This is only the tip of the
iceberg. The government prefers to keep control of Palestinian land in the West
Bank, but doing so necessitates giving the people living on it full human and
political rights. But fret not: Under our current leadership, the Palestinians
are unlikely to gain their rights or their land.

Originally written on SCACC Hoops | Last updated 11/10/14
When was the last time an ACC team not named Duke or North Carolina had shot at an NCAA tournament number 1 seed? I'm guessing Wake Forest in the 2004-05 year when they played the whole season ranked in the top 10 and even spent two weeks at number 1. They went into the ACC tourney ranked in the top 5, before losing by double digits to NC State. Since then? Pretty much it's a blank. North Carolina and Duke have done a great job carrying the banner of ACC basketball the last few years winning titles in 2009 and 2010, but let's face it ACC basketball is better when the conference goes beyond those two. As I've said in earlier posts UNC is a little bit down, but they should make the tourney. They sit 15-6 and 5-3 in the ACC. Most teams would love a down year like that. Who would challenge Duke if not UNC? NC State looked to be that early, but they can't close out games. Welcome Miami… The Hurricanes are as good an ACC basketball team not named Duke or North Carolina since either that Wake Forest team or maybe the 03-04 Final 4 Georgia Tech team. They could be better than either by season's end. Now each week I do an ACC Bubble Analysis where I look at the ACC and place the teams where they would be in NCAA tournament. I have Duke a 1 seed and have recently moved Miami to a 2 seed this past Monday. I want to go more depth with something in light of Miami's recent win at NC State to send them to 17-3 and 8-0 in the ACC and some other results around the country. Who has inside the track to a NCAA tournament number 1 seed the Duke Blue Devils or Miami Hurricanes? Let's compare resumes. Duke Blue Devils Miami Hurricanes Overall Record 19-2 17-3 ACC Record 6-2 (2nd) 8-0 (1st) AP Poll 5 14 Coaches Poll 5 15 RPI Ranking 1 2 Top 50 Wins 6 5 Top 100 Wins 8 10 Losses outside top 100 0 1 Head to Head 0-1 Lost 63-90 1-0 Won 90-63 One thing jumps out to me right away. Duke and Miami are the number 1 and 2 RPI teams in the country, but of course that's doesn't mean both or even one ends up with a number 1 seed. Let's go with some givens. The winner of the Big 10 – Michigan or Indiana will get one of the number 1 seeds. There's is a chance both could end up with number 1 seeds, but I doubt it, there are just too many land mines in a deep and talented Big 10. Michigan St. and Ohio State are in the picture but the Spartans lost to Miami and Ohio State lost to Duke and they both still have to go around Michigan and Indiana to win the conference. #4 Florida will end up with a 1 seed due to playing in an atrocious SEC. If Florida weren't so good, this year's SEC could give last year's Pac 12 a run as the worst major conference basketball league in recent memory. The Gators avoid playing Missouri on the road and only the road game at Kentucky looks like it could end up in single digits much less a loss. That's two top seeds sewn up. Your other contenders for a number one seed are #3 Kansas, #8 Arizona, and #7 Gonzaga. Kansas lost today at home to Oklahoma St. but is the only ranked team in the Big 12 so I don't see them losing more than 1 or 2 games in the Big 12. Gonzaga's computer numbers have their RPI at 8, but playing in the 10th rated RPI conference will hurts it's chances. Arizona is an interesting case because they already have a win over Miami. I like Kansas to emerge as the third number 1 seed. There the possibility of the Big East Champion, but that conference is too much of a meat grinder to go unscathed a couple of more times for even it's top teams. Syracuse was the highest ranked team at 6, but lost today. The 4th number one seed will come from Arizona, Duke, or now Miami. So how do we separate Duke and Miami? Well we have their resumes up. Duke should move back into the top 4 with the Kansas loss, and probably top 3 with the loser of the Michigan and Indiana game falling behind them. As we can see, the resumes compare quite evenly between the Duke and Miami with the exception of two cases, the human polls and the head to head game. Miami has yetto reach the top 10, and while polls shouldn't matter, people will see this. No team ranked outside the top 10 is going to get a look at a number 1 seed (fair or not). This gives the clear advantage to Duke, despite trailing Miami by 2 games in the conference and losing to them by 27. It doesn't seem fair, but the committee is big on the body of work, and won't penalize Duke that much for the one ugly loss at Miami, especially if Duke can win the return game in Durham on March 2. Duke controls it's own destiny for a number 1 seed, but Miami needs help to get that ranking into the top 10. They'll probably be 10-12 this week, but I think they have to get into the top 6 or 7 to have a legitimate chance. Crazy right? Duke has the clearer path to the number 1 seed, but Miami might actually be the ACC's best team. At the moment there's no question the Canes are the conference's best team.

Two Bahrain police officers jailed for detainee death
Probe commission says bookstore owner was detained for nine days before being killed
Manama: A Bahraini court on Sunday sentenced two police officers to seven years in prison for their role in the torture of a man that resulted in his death.
Abdul Kareem Fakhrawi was pronounced dead on April 12, nine days after he was arrested, according to the report of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) formed by King Hamad Bin Eisa Al Khalifa in June 2011 to look into the events that hit Bahrain in February and March that year and their consequences.
In its report released in November last year following a four-month field investigation, the BICI said that it had "received information that the deceased was a businessman and founder of Bahrain's first educational bookstore that had expanded into a publishing house".
"On the evening of April 2, 2011, the deceased was visiting a relative in Karbabad. At approximately 23:30, police surrounded his relative's home. The deceased presented himself at the police station the following morning in order to resolve the matter," the report said.
His family was informed of his death on April 12, the BICI said.
Bahrain's interior ministry has pledged to comply with the recommendations issued by the BICI with the help of security experts with British and US experience and to hold all security men involved in human rights abuses accountable.
Last week, Shaikh Rashid Bin Adbullah Al Khalifa, the interior minister, condemned the slapping of a Bahraini citizen by a security man.
"Such acts do not reflect the disciplined approach and the level of commitment that we always strive to enforce and achieve," Shaikh Rashid said. "They also undermine the genuine role of the security men who perform their work around the clock in order to reinforce security and ensure the safety of all Bahraini citizens and residents."
The minister said that the ministry did not allow abuses and held violators fully accountable for their acts.
"We stress that we do seek to promote community partnership and to strengthen confidence-building between the police and the society, given their significance in achieving civil peace," the minister said.
The interior ministry has hired British and US experts to help instil a more human rights based culture following the BICI report.

REVOLT Presents HELLO Harlem Initiative To Benefit the Boys & Girls Club
Today, REVOLT TV announced a new community initiative, HELLO Harlem, designed to raise interest, awareness and support for the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem (BGCH). Defined as an effort to Help Expand Life's Limitless Opportunities, the campaign will draw upon influential relationships with Who's Who members including NYC philanthropists, entrepreneurs and civic leaders to support the BGCH mission to provide education, social and leadership opportunities for the children and youth of Harlem.
"Harlem has always been of historical importance to the City of New York and an evolving musical landscape, having influenced amazing talent from Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith to Keith Sweat, Jim Jones, A$AP Rocky and Sean Combs," stated Kai D. Wright, REVOLT VP, Head of Communications. "It's important for youth to be exposed to music and the arts as an opportunity for mobility and empowerment, and REVOLT is proud to support the Boys & Girls Club."
Launching in June 2014, HELLO Harlem is an invitation-only, weekly networking series, set to take place at chic and trendy venues in Harlem and Upper Manhattan. From June 23rd through September 8th, the series of VIP events will bring together successful business executives, civic leaders, celebrities and major BGCH supporters on Monday evenings to enjoy delicious food, drinks and live music entertainment. Staying true to their music roots, REVOLT will feature emerging artists and bands at each of the events. For consideration to perform, NY-based musicians should post samples of their music in social media with hashtag #helloharlemnyc.
The HELLO Harlem initiative kicks off with a red carpet event at the historic and iconic Studio Museum the evening of Monday, June 23, 2014.
The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem has been dedicated to the development of youth in the community for over 30 years. "HELLO Harlem promises to be one of the most original fundraising campaigns launched in an urban market," noted BGCH Board Chair, Shirley Lewis. "I'm thrilled that this series of exciting events gives New Yorkers an opportunity to experience Harlem and at the same time join a team that is providing life-changing opportunities for Harlem's youth. There's no greater return on investment than helping our youth to succeed in life."
