Alabama State Time Trial Championships
October 3, 2010 at 12:57 am 2 comments
Well, I guess my season isn't quite over yet! Today, I won the Pro/1/2 division of the Alabama State Time Trial. The victory should have gone to Mike Olheiser who had already caught and passed me, but he had a flat tire and had to turn around. I was 3 seconds off of the fastest time of the day, which was put in by a strong Cat 3 rider Peter Dudle (Competitive Velo). I opted to do the race Eddy Merckx style with no aero equipment because I couldn't get my clip-ons mounted on my handlebars last night. Still, even without any aero equipment, I was able to put in the second fastest time of the day out of all categories missing Peter's time by just 3 seconds!
The course was challenging as it rolled constantly across the terrain, with one larger hill being the namesake of the course "Firetower Hill". Since this was an out/back course, you got to see every hill twice — including Firetower because the turnaround was a couple miles past the bottom after you descended on the funnest part of the course. Check out my topocreator maps below:

No heartrate data to post because I forgot not only my new iBike power meter but also my Garmin in the frenzy to get out the door this morning after a late night working. I got a good warm-up pre-riding most of the course. I started out fast, but I knew that the best thing I could do was try not to blow up on the early hills. That stayed my strategy pretty much throughout, and I was very happy with my time.
Alan Laytham was out on the course taking pictures, and he snagged this one of me on the descent off of Firetower Hill a couple miles before the turnaround.

I am Peter Dudle, not Peter Stephens and I ride for Competitive Velo, not Gulf Coast. Anyway, I'm glad the three seconds worked out in my favor. Nice ride.

When I hear the word "work" I can't help but think of Maynard G. Krebs from the Dobie Gillis Show and his high pitched squawk of the word "WORK!" every time it was mentioned. I don't imagine he'd relish doing the work I show in my photos.
And yes, Barbara and Nancy, commenting at Word Press can be difficult. They are demanding and unforgiving. I do have an account with them I never use, but now must access in order to leave comments. Even then at times nothing will go through.

Tony Schiavone
Real Name
Noah Schiavone
Date of Birth
November 7, 1957
Place of Birth
Since he has been lining up as many professional wrestling personalities as possible for his popular new podcast show, Jim Ross has come to an agreement with Tony Schiavone, his former commentating partner in the NWA, for an interview. Expect the two of them to discuss quite a bit of the backstage happenings from their WCW days.
April 20, 2014
Since he recently was spotted at WWE headquarters, there are now speculations that Tony Schiavone could be signed to a commentating contract with the company. That is clearly not the case, as the former WCW announcer really was just there to do some work on upcoming content. Michael Cole is not being replaced anytime soon.
March 22, 2014
While he will forever be hated by some fans for his role in the Monday Night Wars, Tony Schiavone actually met with WWE recently. He was spotted at the headquarters. Management filmed some interview segments with him, and those footage will more than likely be utilized for upcoming content on the WWE Network and DVD releases.
March 19, 2014
When a severe snow storm struck Atlanta last week, thousands and thousands of citizens were stranded on the road. Former WCW commentator Tony Schiavone was among the commuters, as he needed more than five hours to drive home from work.

CHICAGO—Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has a hyperextended right knee and missed Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Irving has a "sore/hyperextended knee," the team said in the release making the announcement.
He banged the knee during practice last week and was slowed by the injury during recent games at Orlando and Miami. He made just 6 of 16 shots in the loss to the Heat and did not have his usual explosiveness.
Irving will rest for at least one game, although his status for Wednesday's home game against Toronto is not yet known.
The NBA's reigning Rookie of the Year, Irving is averaging 23.3 points, 5.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds. He won the 3-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend in Houston.
Irving missed 11 games earlier this season with a broken left index finger.

It seems pretty clear, clear to me at least, that the future of flat panel TVs is going to be in 4K Ultra HD. Eventually that 4K resolution may be available in a variety of display technologies (LCD, OLED, projectors, maybe even plasma) but 4K it will be.
Last week local home theater pros Hi Fi House in Broomall, PA, opened up their doors to let me spend a few quality hours with the Sony XBR-84X900. They made sure the TV was hooked up to a Blu-ray player, HD cable box and a computer with Sony 4K video content, then handed me the remotes, turned down the lights and let me alone.
Like the LG 84LM9600 I reviewed a few weeks ago, this Sony is an 84-inch, edge-lit LED LCD TV with local dimming. In fact, it's based on the same 3840 x 2160 resolution panel as the LG, but the similarities end with the glass. The image processing, menu, operation and performance is all Sony.
If you've used any Sony TV recently, then you'll be familiar with the general operation of this set. The menu uses the company's Xross media bar which places all the control and content options on a horizontal bar on the screen. You navigate left or right with the remote to get to the area you want, then go up or down to drill into the options. If you're familiar with the PS3 game console, this will be easy to use. If you're new to Sony's system, it's a bit easy to get lost. Luckily many of the selections use icons to help you find what you need (music note for the music menu, etc.).
If you dig a little deeper into the menu you'll find what Sony calls the iManual. It's an interactive menu with easy set-up tutorials. This is a nice feature if you're simply getting your TV delivered, but not professionally integrated. Included in the iManual are sections to explain the remote and other features. If you are getting it professionally integrated, the TV includes RS232 and is Control4 certified.
Sony's iManual
I was most interested in the picture settings, and there found the standard options. The TV started out in showroom mode (it was in a showroom after all), and I didn't have calibration equipment with me, but was still able to adjust it to a very pleasing-picture. After a little tweaking with some test patterns, it was clear this TV was built with Sony's best processing, what the company calls the 4K X-Reality Pro engine. Colors were bold without being over-saturated. Grayscale looked even across the board with no perceptible color shifts and smooth transitions from black to white.
As mentioned earlier, this TV has a kind of local dimming (true local dimming can only been done on full back-lit LED TVs, but some edge-lit TVs manage it). There are three settings for local dimming within the advanced video menu, and the maximum setting clearly worked best. While watching the Blu-ray Dark Knight Rises, during 2.35: 1 scenes (this movie has a variable aspect ratio which flips randomly from 16:9 to 2.35:1) the brightness from the viewing area would bloom into the top and bottom bars when dimming was turned off or down. With dimming fully engaged, the blooming was still present, but much less pronounced.Facebook and Twitter.

Chile extends along the Pacific Coast of South America, and is bordered to the north by Peru and to the east by Bolivia and Argentina. Chile declared its independence from Spain in 1810, but it was not until 1818 that it achieved full independence. The country was defined for decades by the dictatorial regime of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, who took power in a military coup that overthrew the left-wing government of President Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973. While Pinochet led the country into an era of robust economic growth, his regime repressed and reshaped Chile and became a notorious symbol of human rights abuse and corruption.
Chile is one of the continent's most stable and prosperous nations. President Michelle Bachelet, the first woman to have been elected president, was elected in March 2014, after previously serving as president from 2006-2010.

Hi All,
Firstly, can I confirm that I'm not the most clued up on digital cameras! I know the difference between a compact, bridge and DSLR...but that's about it!
I am looking to purchase a new camera for University work (computing). I have a budget of approx. £250...it can be higher for the right camera. I need a digital compact camera...not a larger bridge or DSLR camera.
I will be using the camera for two main purposes:
1. Close up pictures of products.
2. Record short HD video clips (approx. 10-15mins in length).
I would also prefer the camera to use an SD card...as I'm considering purchasing a eye-fi wireless SD card...again, if anybody has any advise on these or other wireless SD cards, that would be great.
Many thanks,

Found February 16, 2013 on Midwest Sports Fans:
The recent news that the Olympics will leave wrestling out of its events list is ridiculous and not likely to last long. Wrestling has been a signature event in Olympics history. It may have lost some of its luster in recent Games, but it doesn't deserve to be shelved. Without wrestling, Iran versus the U.S. in sports practically never happens. In fact, many intriguing international matchups take place in the sport. Wrestling is not a sport to make household names, but personalities do make their mark, including good, bad, and ugly ones. The sport can be very entertaining to watch as a spectator sport. It's mano-a-mano with skill, quickness, strategy, and lots of sweating out the details for a win, loss, or draw. Without the Olympic Games, maybe wrestling can pick up a more dynamic marketing idea to brand the sport better. It could be an event to award individual and team performances. How about a World Cup of Wrestling every four years? Why not? Cricket, Rugby, Soccer and Baseball...

Giant Pandas at the Toronto Zoo
It's pandamonium at the Toronto Zoo!
It was an exciting day for Torontonians on May 18th when the Zoo officially opened its giant panda exhibit, featuring VIPs (Very Important Pandas) Er Shun and Da Mao.
The two pandas are on loan from the Chinese government for a period of ten years, during which time it is hoped they will produce offspring. The pair will be splitting their stay in Canada between the Toronto Zoo and the Calgary Zoo, where they are set to relocate to in 2018.
Pandas have a tendency to draw crowds. In addition to being just plain adorable, their unusual eating and mating habits make them one of the most unique species in the animal kingdom.
Did You Know?
- Although pandas have the digestive system of a carnivore, up to 99% their diet consists of bamboo. Due to bamboo's low nutritional value, a panda needs to consume between 10 and 15 kilograms (22 to 33 pounds) of it each day to get all of its nutrients.
- Pandas are notoriously reluctant to mate, which is one reason for their low population in the wild. Giant panda females are only receptive to mating for a period of 24 to 72 hours a year.
- It is almost impossible to tell if a giant panda is a male or a female until it is four years old. Because of the difficulty of determining the sex of pandas, it was believed that Er Shun was a male until genetic testing was done shortly before she was set to arrive in Toronto!
Top 5 Reasons to See the Pandas at the Toronto Zoo
No question about it, the giant panda exhibit is one of Toronto's must-see attractions. Here are the top five reasons why you should pay Er Shun and Da Mao a visit:
- It'll put a smile on your face. Pandas might just be the cutest animals around. Their docile nature, clumsy gait, and adorable black-and-white faces make them a delight to watch. It's no wonder that one of the most popular videos on YouTube, with over 160 million views, is of a baby panda sneezing.
- You can expand your knowledge. Prior to meeting Er Shun and Da Mao, you can learn all about giant pandas at the 8,000 square-foot Panda Interpretive Centre. With model displays, multimedia games, and audio-visual presentations, it's a fun and interactive way to learn about these natural treasures.
- Your kids will love it. Pandas are always a huge hit with children. You can also use this as an opportunity to educate them about wildlife and conservation.
- You can see other animals too. Once you're done seeing the pandas, you can make your way over to the Zoo's many other exhibits. The Toronto Zoo boasts over 5,000 animals representing more than 460 species, including white lions, gorillas, and polar bears.
- It's a rare opportunity. Although panda conservation efforts have proven successful, they're still an endangered species. The vast majority of pandas live in China, and only a handful of Zoos around the world have been given the opportunity to host them. The last time there were pandas at the Toronto Zoo was for three months in 1985!
Fun, friendly, and fascinating, the giant pandas are sure to brighten your day. Take a trip to the Toronto Zoo to see one of nature's most extraordinary creatures up close and personal.

Post subject: Problem with Sound in an IBM 600E
Hello Everyblagers!!!!
I have successfully installed Blag10K in an IBM 600E but the problem is there is no sound. Before Blag I have installed Knoppix in this machine, and I have to issue these commands in a terminal to make the sound work
insmod sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
but I gues this doesn't work on blag, I tried the redhat-config-soundcard but it reports "no sound device ... " or something similar. I have also tried the sndconfig command it was able to detect a PCI ... I forgot the exact msg. but it say it does not support the soundcard it finds.
Can somebody help me pls... I don't exactly know the type of soundcard installed in the machine... I was hoping the code for knoppix could help. Also where or what is the config file I have to look for when looking for configurations such as these?
Thanks alot.... AND MORE POWER

Hello jebba
I tried the lspci and lshw and found alot about my machine. Unfortunately the modules for the device (CS 4610/11) is i think not installed. it issues a modprobe error for the cs46xx.o:init_module: no such device
Anyway i read the man pages for the sndconfig and found out that it can be given a --noprobe parameter.
So i experimented with the different devices and found a compatible driver.
Acer Notebook Sound
I/O Port =0x220 IRQ=5 DMA=1 MPU I/O=0x330
So i have my sound now, :lol:
what do i need to do to enable the correct driver? (
not that i'm complaining with the current setup it's just that i wish to learn
thanks a lot for the time and effort in helping me

OK, To have it load on boot, just add it to /etc/modules.conf
Nice one :)

Also TP600e user, mine works with BLAG10000 with OSS drivers (cs4232) that I configure on install with sndconfig --noprobe and just modifying DMA1 as 1 and Last IRQ as 9.
You have to install a script wich is documented on IBM site or I can send it by mail.
All sound is clear and works in input/output.
The first step is to disable quickstart in the bios to allows Linux to find his IRQs without a MS microcode.
On SUSE site they propose to emulate a Soundblaster card, it works too but with a less sound quality.

As new energy efficiency programs proliferate, regulators increasingly will seek to use the associated demand reductions to reduce capital expenditures on new transmission and distribution assets...
Anatomy of Sealed-Bid Auctions
Bringing flexibility and efficiency to energy RFPs.
retail competition has been introduced (see Table 1) . In surveying these auctions, the details regarding the quantity of peak load being purchased, the bid format and offer pricing structures, and the auction-clearing methodology appear to be particularly important for understanding how these processes work. 5
• Tranche Size: Full-requirements load-following products are purchased in discrete units called tranches. A tranche is a percentage of hourly load for a given grouping of non-shopping customers established by the electric utility. 6 Tranches, as measured by the estimated amount of peak load that they represent, tend to be around 50 MW in size, 7(see Table 1) . However, in some instances tranche sizes are considerably larger. For example, NSTAR (in Massachusetts), Central Maine Power, and Connecticut Light & Power have tranche sizes that are estimated to exceed 100 MW.
Tranche size has important implications for the competitiveness of sealed-bid auctions and the prices that they return. Using relatively small tranche sizes can provide incentives for smaller suppliers to compete and often results in utilities obtaining supplies from more than a single supplier in any given solicitation. On the other hand, larger tranche sizes arguably can lower transaction costs as fewer suppliers ultimately are needed to meet customer loads. It's difficult to determine with certainty the impact of tranche size on an auction's competitiveness, given that only limited information on the competitiveness of these auctions is publicly released. However, where such auction details are reported, some anecdotal evidence suggests smaller tranche sizes seem correlated with more bidders. For example, Pepco Maryland has tranche sizes around 50 MW and its recent solicitations have had between seven and twelve bidders, while Connecticut Light & Power has tranche sizes around 400 MW and its recent solicitations have had between four and eight bidders. 8 Thus, smaller tranche sizes may encourage greater supply-side competition.
• Bid Format and Offer Pricing Structure: The format of bids being submitted in a sealed-bid auction dictates the pricing offered by suppliers for the products and terms sought by the utilities. Bidders typically input the details of their offers into a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that defines the number of tranches, contract duration, and pricing associated with their bids. While bid formats ostensibly are comparable across auctions, offer pricing structures can vary considerably.
An auction's bid format can be as simple as requesting a single price per tranche that applies to a particular customer grouping for the entire term of the contract, or as complex as requesting several prices per tranche that apply to different customer rate schedules ( e.g., within a customer grouping) and vary based on time of day and time of year. Examples of the simple bid formats can be found in the solicitations by the Maine PUC, Delaware's Delmarva Power & Light, and PPL Electric. These solicitations request a fixed price for a given term for a particular group of customers; the fixed price that wins the sealed-bid auction forms the basis of the customers' rates. 9
Bid formats that request more refined offer pricing do so in two

The Drinkwell Pet Fountain is a unique watering bowl that filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water. This process is called aeration and it makes water more appealing to drink. Pets may be drawn by instinct to moving water for this reason. By using a 5-inch falling stream of water, the Pet Fountain continually aerates your pet's water with healthful oxygen. A charcoal filter also removes bad tastes and odors, giving your pet the best possible - and most appealing - way to stay hydrated!
The Drinkwell Pet Fountain
Why Animals Love Running Water
In nature, moving water is much fresher than stagnant water. The movement constantly breaks the surface tension of the water and draws oxygen from the air into the water. It satisfies the urge for running water and so helps eliminate jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets.
Even cats who don't jump on counters to drink from faucets may drink more water using the Fountain. Why is this important? As the veterinarian who created the Fountain for her own cats knows, many cats may not drink as much water as they should. This is one reason the urine becomes so concentrated and predisposes some cats to urinary tract disease. Cats with urinary tract or kidney disease have a critical need for water to support kidney function or prevent crystal formation and obstruction.
The Drinkwell Pet Fountain is veterinarian designed and recommended by vet urinary specialists. It encourages water intake and proper hydration in healthy cats, and is especially beneficial in cats with kidney or urinary tract disease. AND it discourages jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets!

Worked well for a short time
By Luise who aims to please
from Long Island, NY
I took it apart and cleaned it thoroughly with white vinegar and water solution - put it back together and the noise was terrible. I took it apart again to check that all parts were secure and the noise was just as annoying. I had to disconnect it and stop using it. I have owned it for 6 months.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The best thing that I like about the Drink Fountain is the steady flow of water across the filter & charcoal which keeps the water clean & fresh all day.

By JJ

A bit diffficult to put together, and I am mechanically inclined and read directions. Otherwise I like it, and so do my 3 cats, one of whom needs to be encouraged to drink for her kidney health.

Bad taste. collects ALGAE
By Randy the coach
from Anaheim Ca.
I have over twenty years experience in breeding dogs and have owned this product for several months now and you must clean it daily.. with the plastic it collects algae real quick and even with the filter the water smells like a fish tank.. Not Good look for stainless steal or ceramic..
My cats love this water fountain!
By Sue, the cat lady
from Douglassville, PA.
The cats love this product! We used to leave the spigots on in the kitchen and bathroom, and sometimes forget to turn them off. Now we just keep the water filled, and the cats love it, and drink more water, which is healthier for them!
Nice unit
By Rudahead
from Whidbey Island, WA
Had a different unit till it burned out, purchased this one and our cat and us love it. works well and quietly.

Our cats love this, too!
By The Cat Lady
from Sacramento, CA
It's great to just fill it up and know it's staying filtered and fresh for our cats to drink everyday. Before we'd have to clean the smaller bowls of water out everyday and now it's just once a week. They love drinking the water from the spout and still like the sinks, too :)
I'm disappointed with product
By Cat Granny
from Omak WA
I use it for my small house dog. It is easy to clean and it seems to be very durable, but it doesn't hold enough water...I have to refill it too often and charcoal keeps getting into the bowl.

Worth Every Penny!
By Zia's Mom
from Shawnee, OK
My cat went from a 'if the faucet is running, I'm drinking' cat to complete fascination with this product. She drinks more water. It's filtered so healthier for her and the running water seems to soothe and interest her. Once you get used to the cleaning routine, it's easy to clean and maintain. I've had mine for quite awhile and highly recommend it.

WASHINGTON D.C. - An asteroid about 150 feet across will pass unusually close to Earth - about 17,000 miles away - Friday.
"There are billions of these objects out there. There's a lot of debris in orbit around the sun," says Richard Berendzen, director of NASA's Space Grant Consortium for D.C.
"This one comes inside the orbit of the moon, in fact inside the orbit of communication satellites."
Astronomically speaking, the 130,000-metric-ton assteroid is relatively small.
Still, if it struck Earth near a populated area, it would be an unspeakable disaster.
"It would basically decimate a large city," says Berendzen.
Rest easy.
Experts who track activity of near-Earth objects say an asteroid will not have a legitimate chance at hitting the planet until the 22nd century.
"It's sort of like a bullet hitting a bullet. What's the likelihood?"
Even if a threat was heading toward Earth, Berendzen believes astronomers would devise a plan to avert a head-on collision.
Astronomers across the globe take these events seriously, tracking potential threats.
It is essentially impossible for a large space object to unexpectedly appear, catching monitors off guard.
The 2013 Asteroid 2012 DA14 will fly by around 2:24 p.m. Friday.
An observatory in Israel is offering live online footage via a remote telescope.

This week I will talk about CAD import. Many times, the first task a new user of COMSOL is up to is to lay their hands on the CAD models of the design team.

There are different ways to marry the CAD models with the analysis. File based import is maybe the most common […]Read more ⇢

Masterchef Swifts Style
In one kitchen there was Team Burrito featuring Vanessa Ware, Kristy Durheim, Sam May and Kim Borger, in another kitchen was Team Taco featuring Kim Green, Jo Sutton, April Letton and Susan Pratley, and then there was Team Dessert featuring Carla Dziwoki, Mo�onia Gerrard, Sonia Mkoloma and Amorette Wild.
But the challenge wasn�t just to cook for the entire team; they were also given a budget of $100 for them to buy all the ingredients needed to whip up their masterpieces.
There were tears (from chopping onions) and lots of laughter as the three groups got down to business preparing the mince for the tacos and chicken for the burritos.
As the 7pm deadline fast approached the dishes started to arrive in the dining room and there were plenty of �ohs and ahs� as they marvelled at their handy work.
With satisfied looks on their faces as the first course was left to settle, Team Dessert left the room to finish their preparations.
This was no ordinary dessert � no ice cream and jelly in sight!
