Students brought out their inner Wayne Szalinski at the 2014 Kinetic Challenge! Szalinski, of course, was the eccentric inventor from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" who built Rube Goldberg-inspired contraptions.
While these fifth through eighth graders weren't creating shrink rays, they were transforming ordinary and found objects into artistic kinetic sculptures. Prizes including $500 for Best in Fair! Congratulations to our winners!

We know what you're thinking: "You're an electronics magazine and you're trying to preach green A/V? So, my room-thumping, eyeball-glazing home theater should be energy-efficient, too? No way."
It may be too much to ask that your 1,000-watt sound system and $25,000 theater projector be energy-efficient. And we understand that you may not have solar panels powering everything in your house, like the Guiltless Green Home Theater developed by the Home Technology Specialists of America.
You shouldn't have to dump some of your cherished audio and video gear simply because it lacks Energy Star certification. In fact, don't trash anything when you're ready to replace components. Look to recycle, instead. When it comes to home theater, little things help contribute to the much wider picture—that of our health and our planet. So let's see where else you can contribute.
It's easy to think about green in terms of just power consumption, and that's the information we're generally fed about displays. David Berman, director of training at the Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA), gives us more perspective. Aside from his involvement with HTSA's Guiltless Green Home Theater, Berman has been on virtually every side of the consumer electronics industry—manufacturer, custom electronics installer, retailer, advocate—and he emphasizes that energy use is just one of three key green components. The first involves a product's materials, including construction elements, chemicals and potential waste, plus the manufacturers' eco efforts and how they do with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. Then Berman looks at power consumption. Last, he looks at sustainability and the infrastructure role within a home.
With that in mind, Berman jokes that some of our old CRT (cathode ray tube) sets could rival those that have emerged during the current focus on green. "We're lighting up larger screen surfaces in a smaller design, and using a lot more electronics with printed circuit boards [that can contain hazardous substances and plastic casings]. In the old days, you had giant glass tubes and not much other electronics going on inside."
Of course, most of us have replaced those TVs in our primary viewing rooms, so what now? If you're shopping for TVs, look at LED-based LCD flat panels, whose light-emitting diodes produce the most efficient ratings among the Energy Star-qualified models and are more recyclable than gas-infused plasma sets or fluorescent-lit LCDs, says Berman.
Then again, you may never have to recycle the next TV you purchase. The expected lifespans of today's models can be in the 50,000-hours range (and that's to half-brightness), so it could stay in your home a long time. Speaking of which, more flat panels also feature web connectivity and video streaming functions from sites such as Netflix, potentially allowing you the very green step of eliminating one or two components from your entertainment center.
There are also steps you can take while watching TV. After it's installed and powered on, head to the menu and start adjusting the settings—and this might be a bigger aid if you don't have a new TV. "We did some research, and especially with older TVs—even a few years old—just calibration can save you up to 50 percent in energy," says John Dahl, senior fellow and director, of education at THX.
Dahl notes that THX's "Cinema Mode" included in many displays was derived from commercial cinema viewing quality and is best in darkened rooms. That mode and other tweaks involving reduced brightness and contrast may take some getting used to, especially compared with that wall of TVs you see at big-box stores, which crank up the brightness so sets look good under the bright conditions. Proper calibration will not only save on electricity, but result in greater detail and more accurate colors.
Projectors and Screens
Home theater projectors are getting into the LED game, too, which is good news if you can afford them. Companies such as SIM2, Runco, Digital Projection International and projectiondesign are offering "lampless" LED projectors in their high-performance product lines. (If you're not familiar with these companies, think five-figures.)
Like television counterparts, there are a few big benefits to an LED-based projector: the LED light engine is less toxic than lamps used in LCD and DLP projectors, you don't have to worry about discarding and replacing the bulb every 2,000 or so hours, and you'll probably own a projector with a 50,000-hour lifespan longer than you own your home theater.
If you can't spring for an LED projector, there are steps you can take with many traditional high-def models. First, research the lamp ingredients if possible, and try to find companies that cut down on brominated flame retardants (BFRs), polyvinyl chlorides (PVCs) and other harmful substances. Second, look for projectors with "ecomode" or "energy saving" modes that decrease the brightness output, thereby extending the lamp life—a 2,500-lumens projector lamp will run 1,500 or 2,000 lumens in ecomode, for example, and improve lamp lifespan from 2,000 to 3,000 estimated hours.
The catch? You'll need to ensure darker conditions to maintain an uncompromised image from the dimmer mode. "If you're not willing to invest in controlled room lighting, you're spending more to drive the output of the projector to overcome ambient light," says Berman. "So you're better off spending on motorized shades and dimmable lighting with a decent TV."
The screen you mate to your projector can be environmentally friendly, too. Manufacturers such as Da-Lite, Draper and Stewart Filmscreen have earned Greenguard certification on some screens whose materials meet indoor air quality standards and emit low amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals that can lead to health risks, especially in children.Facebook and Twitter.

I got this guitar and amp a couple years ago and I really liked it. It feels just like My fender telecaster. When I first got it my strings wouldn't hold a tune, Easy fix. That was the only complaint I had with this product. Overall I thought it was a great starter kit.

As with almost everyone this was my first guitar. I didn't know much about guitars then. Looking back if I could have chosen I would have gotten a HSS and it wouldn't be black. But hey. I plan on getting hotrails at the bridge. This guitar feels great, plays great, over all a great guitar, I just dont care for the twang brightness of the bridge. This is a great backup guitar for me, great main guitar for others. My jaguar and mustang are my to go guitars. My strat is black has so many scratches and chips dents and rust, but I love it. I love this guitar, its nice to play something different once in a while. Good tone, great sound, great playability, great starter guitar.
Grunger owns this item
My first love. This is what got me started a year and a few months ago. It was almost an impulse buy, I was shopping for a guitar because I wanted to get started. After browsing the used market, I decided to go for a new one because I didn't know what to look for in a used instrument. This has everything a beginner needs to get started. A very nice Strat (sunburst looks the best) a very OK amp, lead cable, extremely useful clip-on tuner, strap, gig bag, 3 Fender celluloid medium picks, a stand, and a instructional DVD that is pretty much a preview of Fender's instructional DVD, but it shows you some easy power chords to get you started. At $199 it's a good deal.
The good:
The guitar plays great, the action is nice and low, and a great playing guitar is a must for a beginner. Nothing will turn off a beginner more than a poorly playing guitar with high action. The sound is good too, the neck pickup has that nice bassy strat tone we all love. The bridge has that twangy brightness but it's a bit too bright for me. I usually use the bridge or bridge/center position; personal preference. Apart from the guitar, you'll appreciate the other things it comes with. The tuner is very accurate, and the guitar stand is extremely useful as well. Separately they cost about $20-25 each, so that alone is about a $50 value, give or take a few bucks.
The bad:
This is a very cheap guitar, my first one I had to return it because it had a faulty pickup selector switch. The second one had a bad output jack but I fixed it by grounding it better. Keep this in mind. The amp sounds ok on the clean channel and absolutely horrid with the overdrive button pushed in. It is more than enough for a beginner, you can always get an overdrive/distortion pedal since those are relatively cheap. The gig bag is very cheap as well, but it will keep your guitar from getting scratched, but it won't protect it from dings. It is also very uncomfortable when you carry it as a backpack due to the locking clips that dig in your shoulders when you carry it.
Overall, you can't go wrong with a $200 starter pack that comes with so many goodies that would otherwise cost you a lot more if bought separately. I sold the guitar and amp and made more than 50% of the price that I paid for the whole thing. I kept the stand, tuner, and guitar cable. One of the best $200 I've ever spent, it got me started on this journey I've been loving so far.
This was my first Electric guitar. The guitar sounds good with the SP-10 amp only on cleans and its overdrive channel which sounds like a little bit louder with a little gain. The amp is noisy for a 15w amp. The guitar sounds great on cleans and sounds okay on distortion.

ABOUT IDA's FIXTURE SEAL OF APPROVAL
Also visit:
To skip ahead:
The Program
Formed in 1988, the International Dark-Sky Association is the authoritative voice on light pollution. IDA educates lighting designers, manufacturers, technical committees, and the public about light pollution abatement. We recognize that the best way to accomplish our goal of protecting and restoring our natural night environment and our heritage of dark skies is through promotion of quality outdoor lighting. It is in this spirit that we have developed the Fixture Seal of Approval (FSA) program for dark sky friendly fixtures.
The Fixture Seal of Approval provides objective, third-party certification for luminaires that minimize glare, reduce light trespass, and don't pollute the night sky. For a modest fee, IDA will evaluate the photometric data of any luminaire submitted by its manufacturer. When the fixture is approved, the manufacturer receives a certificate and the Fixture Seal of Approval. Manufacturers may use the FSA seal to promote and advertise their IDA-Approved™ dark sky friendly products.
For more information on the FSA program, its scope, and its criteria, and for our answers to your frequently asked questions, please refer to our FSA program package (Portable Document Format). Or contact us online.
Submit your dark sky friendly product to IDA for evaluation and certification. Join the Fixture Seal of Approval program before your competitors do!
To apply for the Fixture Seal of Approval, simply fill out the online application form and hit submit. IDA will then contact you after evaluating the photometric data and will give you instruction on the final steps. If you would rather submit the application by hard copy, just hit the "view as PDF" button in the upper right hand corner of the online application page and email or fax in the application.

The man in the moon is made from mother of pearl and rests on a bed of lapis mosaic inlay. The moon and sterling silver stars are framed by an intricate sterling silver openwork design. This charming pendant features a silver bail and measures approximately 2" long x 1-1/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

You also said that you didn't like snobbish political nerds. Currently you're the snobbish political person who's complaining to about it to death. Well, I've got news. Doing that isn't going to get you anywhere. Now stop whining and grow up.
Hating lefties doesn't automatically make me a rightie. I do prefer righties over lefties, since I have an extreme revoltion to your 'everything good is oppressed by icky white males' bs.
Complaining on a forum doesn't make me a political person. Internet politics is not the same as real world politics. I don't read politics journals, I don't read much political stuff in newspapers, I don't read political blogs, I don't support any party, I don't go to elections...

Let's change society. Now what is wrong with the way society is now? Oh I know. Let's give more 'rights' to anyone that isn't white and male at the same time.
Earth First! journal
hmmm... what could this be ? 'The Radical Environment Journal'... I hope this place isn't populated with vegan wiccan neopagans, that wouldn't be at all like what the name suggests!
Electronic Frontier Foundation
This one is fine. I hope the people that run EFF don't care about all this leftie crap though... since lefties themselves are a threat to free internet.
Human Rights Watch
Uhhh... duh.
links to
Invest in Caring Not Killing!
Males kill. Females care. :-)
War happens because of nasty aggressive violent white males, like me. Even though I don't live in america and never actually participated in any way, or served in a military, and never even hit a person, I am still to blame.
Interestingly, the fact that many european countries (like Finland) still require only males to be drafted isn't listed in Human Rights Watch as a 'human rights issue'. This is because they are hypocrites and they only care about the rights of selected groups. Like females, and gay people, and blacks.
So if it's a white female, she is good because she is female, but bad because she is white. A black lesbian is the best, and her rights are of highest importance.

If you insist...
One cause of war is people, of any sex or race, being belligerent (perhaps that's a tautology) and not willing to cooperate with others.
Chill. No one is attacking you. I think you're reading reports (such as from Human Rights Watch) and thinking they are targetted at you. They are not.

i usually stay out of diuscussions like that because i allready know my opinion.i also know that lots of people disagree with me.i am using linux for the last three years.mandrake mepis and so on.what i had been missing was a political side to it . this political attitude of blag made me try it out. i was not a big fan of rpm's or fedora . blag is my desktop distro now.it's stable its fast and its left . other ones have said it before ,"if you don't like don't run it".

Post subject:
I'm intrigued as to why you think you have to be a leftie to use BLAG. BLAG is 99% Linux and that stray 1% of aesthetics is leftie images. Does it really matter? I use BLAG and certainly don't feel leftism rammed down my throats. Don't like lefties then don't read the left wing blogs.
If you want, change the damn theme. Linux is Open Source after all and it does not wipe your system if you dare to oppose lefties. How about picture of right wing wars on your desktop if it makes you better or maybe mock up a picture of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction if it makes you feel better. There you go a way to use GIMP creatively. Hell sell that to the tabloids you might make money.
Don't you like freedom of speech or do you want our face to be a picture of Bush giving it to Blair? Not everyone here is a leftie so stop stereotyping. The fact is that if you couldn't work out what the political preference around here is from them install images, then you are rather stupid and this place is better off without you anyways.
Go join some other narrow minded group full of people like yourself because I am sure they will welcome you with open arms.

lol, you are so leftie that you can't even understand that just because I hate lefties doesn't mean that I like Bush (even though you talked about stereotyping being so bad... so how did you decide I liked Bush other than using a stereotype? Oops, more leftie hypocrisy.), or support the Iraq war. I don't even live in America or Iraq, and I think that Bush looks like a dumbass. Also I have read a link I found in this forum about some type of vote-counting machine being used to fake votes for Bush. That was interesting..
I didn't delete blag yet, and I have to agree that it's a pretty nice distro. It gave me almost no problems. Although this could be mostly more due to the Fedora Core... core. I didn't try Fedora Core itself yet.. :-)
jenne: What is this opinion? Just curious..

Actually I am not a leftie either. I just find your narrow minded approach stupid.

On trying the fedora core, try it, I have, and it just seems so much more bloated than BLAG, and it is missing a lot of things that I want, like the ability to play mp3's, or DVD's. Yea, sure, the stuff is accessable, but it is nice to have a distro that is seemingly complete for what I want and need. Just easier to install and work with right out of the box. Like the description says, it has most of the things that people want in their distro.
Now if I could only get Samba working like it works in MEPIS...... ;)

Great, Love the Energy, great links, excellent distribution, great graphics, multimedia that works. A little revolution is quite good, by the way that's the message, The Technology Revolution. The medium is the message.
Anyway for every one that bases political views on a Linux Distribution. and removes it, there are 10 more people quite willing to enjoy this labor of love, I can appreciate quality and hard work.
Cudos to the Blag Team and it's many members that make this distro great.
You certainly have my support and I happen to love this activism.
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:58 pm
Post subject: ffs
I don't understand some people. The distro is called Brixton Linux Action Group. It clearly says on the front page of the website right at the start:
works to overthrow corporate control of information and technology through community
and spreading Free Software.
What did he think that meant? GI Joe dolls?
It has links in that first sentence to anarchist links as well. What does he need? Red warning lights and animation of Bill Gates being dismembered?
One of the reasons I am trying this distro because I thought it would be a hoot. I don't like corporate thuggery either so I figured the blag guys would have a similar mindset towards such things.
To install blag and then whine about a few activist links in the browser is like me walking into a church and complaining that they were bible bashing.
Get a grip!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by ArizonaAC Sturdy & Strong: Under Stress, Through my Career Imagine a world in which file folders don't rip, tear and collapse. Imagine a world in which folders hold their shape after being stuck in file cabinets, briefcases, and shuffled around desks throughout offices. This is the world in which my files live. Each client has a file, and these files tell a story. The importance of a sturdy, tried-and-true file material cannot be captured in this paragraph. It can only be captured day-in and day-out in my career. When you're desparately searching for information in a file, the last thing you need is to worry about the file structure itself. This is the strong, understated beauty of Smead products. June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CKCK The Best Folders - Love Them! I've been looking for these folders for years as we ran out of our original stash. No other folder will do. We tried other supposedly reinforced tabbed folders, and nothing holds up as well. June 7, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 Awesome Awesome Durable Folders. Easy to write on and locate. We use them every day and they have passed the test! May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pianist Reinforced Tabs Last Longer! We love these file folders. I have to hunt to find them, but regular "look-likes" do not last more than 1 year. These last over 5 years because the tabs don't ever develop "dog ears"! We use these file for student work and are putting something in them every day -- sometimes two or three times a day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GreatProductsOnly Get the Best File Folders! If you have a lot of filing to do, you will need a product that will not tear or bend easily. Not only will they last longer, but it will be easier to find the file in the drawer, since they sit up sturdy. When you get smead, you can be sure of the quality.

Before you pick up a pencil, sit down in front of a computer or open the scanner, there are two elements of graphic design you need to know: how to turn an idea into a visual message, and what you can bring to it as an artist. You'll learn how to hone concepts down to their most critical components, how to under-stand the psychology of the audience, and how to best communicate and persuade using visual language. You'll discover the impact that shape and color have on emotion. You'll explore letter-form and typography. You'll keep your skills broad—delving into web, animation,film, information design and narrative design. Your techniques and thought process will evolve into your individual design process and become valuable career tools.

Graphic Design Faculty - Mark Jamra
Jen Micoleau '10
HometownPortland, Maine
I got my Bachelor of Arts at American University in D.C . in '95. After that I worked full-time at a law firm and, as a hobby, got involved in ceramics and sculpture. I decided I really wanted to give it a chance – go to a real art school full-time.
I thought I was coming back to school to study Sculpture—but it just wasn't me. Then I started Graphic Design and saw the psychology in it and the scientific, rational approach, which is very much a part of me. It was a gradual shift.
Everything builds on everything else. There's a process and an approach – it's deliberate, it's taught in a way that everyone can keep up and follow along. The small class size makes a big difference –- there were only six others in my first design class.
How do you prepare your students for the real world?
Reality-based projects along with academic investigations, collaborations with local businesses, internships, studio visits in NYC, Boston & Portland, working collaboratively, continuous assessment of results, continuous analysis of the audience for any given project.
What are the prerequisites to major in Graphic Design?
6 credit hours of graphic design: 2 intro classes to major.
Will I be able to incorporate other media or interests with my work as a Graphic Design major?
What are some of the classes that are offered in your department?
Text in the Environment, Expressive Narratives, Information Design, Visual Identity Systems, Advanced Typographic Design, Advanced Letterform Design, Web Design.
What are some of the unique aspects of this program?
- One course in letterform design more than most other programs have.
- The emphasis on interdisciplinary study.
- A conceptually coordinated program of study.
What are the faculty like?
Motivated, occasionally superhuman.
What are some examples of internships your students have done in the past?
Angela Adams, Martha Stewart publishing in NYC, drift surfing magazine, JDK (Burton snowboards) in Vermont, American Eagle Outfitters, LLBean, Portland Museum of Art,
How many students (juniors and seniors) do you typically have in your major?
What software does your department use?
CS5 Adobe suite, Maya, Motion, Final Cut, Soundtrack Pro, Flash, AfterEffects.

Got a new tool in the shed
Posted 06 February 2012 - 01:37 PM
So it's out with the old red
And in with the new blue
Yup, I traded my cherished VFR for a dirt bike with a plate. I did a lot of research on available dual sport bikes and I think this one is going to fill in quite nicely. It's a 2008 Yamaha WR250X that a prior owner turned into an "R" model by replacing the supermotard street wheels and tires with a nice set of knobby shod bigger wheels (21"/18"). It has a few other mods done to it already to make it more off-road worthy, such as the skid plate, Bark Busters, Fat bars, disk guards. It also has already been uncorked and lightened up with an FMF Power bomb pipe and muffler, the FMF FI tuning module (yeah, that's right, it's fuel injected! ) and the standard (anywhere that you can get away with it) emissions junk deletions.
The last owners were using it off road exclusively, so have it geared down for stump pulling duties. I'll be wanting to ride it on road to the trail heads, so I'll be bring the ratios back up closer to stock. But other than that I won't have much to do to the bike other than just ride it. One really nice thing about these bikes is the maintenance requirements are very un-dual-sport-like. Like an, FJR, it only requires valve checks ever 26k miles!! and with no carb to constantly be taking out and cleaning, it's basically just routine oil changes and chain maintenance and ride.
I'm guessing we are going to have a bunch of dirty, dirty fun together this summer.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 01:48 PM
I see a V-Strom hiding in the back of the garage as well. Damn Dude!!!
You got a blue & black FJR as well???
Anyway I can get added into your Will?
Posted 06 February 2012 - 02:41 PM
Very nice 250.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 03:05 PM
Best of luck and many hours of enjoyment Fred.

I think it's a tank cover.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 03:51 PM
It goes without saying but, enjoy!
Posted 06 February 2012 - 04:14 PM
Your gonna need another GPS mount! Nice bike for sure. I fixed the quad last weekend so now I have to take a look at the rear brakes that are sticking on the XR next. Most likely a rebuild is in order. So what are you going to do with the we-strom? Is the 18" on the front and 21 on the rear? Kinda looks that way in the picture. If I remember correctly I have the 21" tire on the front and the 17" on the rear of my XR. I know the super-moto's run smaller in the front. Not sure how that translates for the dirt. Any way we will have to do some riding together.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 04:20 PM
That is a Bagster on the Bass Boat Blue. I'll let Fred cover the Wills
Man that VFR looks nice! ....LOL
I see a V-Strom hiding in the back of the garage as well. Damn Dude!!!

I think less of Fred for selling the VFR and not giving it to me.
I hope Fred enjoys getting in touch with his inner dirt. Nice bikie for sure. NH has a lot of dirt so Fred should be all set to get his dirt fix. I hope that he remembers that older folks don't recover from bumps and bruises like them younger 'uns. We all expect less dirt in the NE rides now, unless he is packing the ol' 250.
Bad decisions make for good stories.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 05:34 PM
If your ancient ass falls off that thing, you're gonna crumble like a stale cookie.
You don't wanna look like Yamafitter before you're 60, ...do ya?
A bit blunt, ionbeam, .....but you make a valid point.
Posted 06 February 2012 - 07:29 PM
Addressing the concerns and comments in reverse order:
@ (Too) Old (for dirt) Michael: If I looked like my buddy boy Bill (Yammafitter) before I was 60, well hell... I'd be OK with that. I mean what?, afterall, Bill is like, what... 75 or sumthin, right?
@ ionbeam - Hey, I made several offers for you to ride that old bitch viffer when you were down and out with the CCT catastrophe. You missed your chance buddy. Too bad, 'cause it was a nice ride fo shure.
PS - ain't nobody getting added to my will(s) without a big investment (like marriage).
@Dave - Yup scheming a GPS mount right away. Not sure how yet but will get it done.
@uberkool - Looking at the IMS 4.7 gallon tank already. Running 60-70 mpg puts that at over a 300 mile range!! That's the shizzy with ultralight dual sport adventure bikes.
@ Asphalt Junkie - Me? Fill of dirt? What?
Don't count on that.
You just have to get down with the idea that the FJR1300 is a superior dirt ridin' mo'chine.
But seriously,
Thanks to all for the well wishes. It is a pretty big departure for me. Being a bigger guy, having a svelte and nimble off-road ride like this will be a completely new experience. I mean. the smallest bike I've had in the past 40 years was a '96 Honda XR400R. But this thing is a whole new thing. This WR is actually much lighter, with a much better suspension, and actually makes more horsepower (albeit at higher rpm) than my old XR due to the fuel injection and modern tune state, and will handle way mo' better on the New Hampsha' off-roads.
Looking forward to seeing some other FODS out 'dere this year.
C'mon... You know you want to. We only have so much time...

I wouldn't change a fucking thing; I've lived hard, played hard, and I ain't done yet.

Those things are awesome. Let's get that baby out and back on the trail, man!

You know we can hit a lot of dirt from Rangeley,I have the Honda XR650, my old Yamaha DT250 and the DRZ400 that I am trying to get plated for my son in law.
Posted 11 February 2012 - 05:15 PM
Again best of luck with the new ride Fred... maybe I'll dig up somthing and dig some dirt with you! (Hmmmm my cousin still has HIS Bultaco)
Posted 12 February 2012 - 07:48 AM
I'm working on making the bike mine now. Yesterday I pulled off the aftermarket FMF header and exhaust can and went back to stock (with the EXUP valve disabled). Much quieter, and for New Hampshire trails riding I definitely want to be in full stealth mode. I should be able to get a couple of Benjamins for the FMF stuff. I weighed both pipes and the stock setup is 4 1/2 pounds heavier. I could (should!) lose 5 lbs anyway.
Next I need to regear the bike for actual dual sporting. Stock gearing on a WRX Sumo is 13/43 (3.307), and WRR's are 13/42 (3.231). Prior owners had it setup with 13/51 (3.923!!) primarily for offroading. With that the bike spins out at about 65mph and first gear is practically unusable. I've got a 14T front and a 48T rear that came with the bike, which should make it more useable both on and off road (3.429), and if I get somewhere that I need to gear down I can just switch the front back to the 13 and have tractor gearing again (3.692) on the same chain.
Around NH, it's all about the dual sporting. There are so few (legal) areas to ride off-road, you really have to connect them up with stretches of pavement, so being street registered is key. When we did have off-road only bikes (Honda XR's) we wore the crap out of the trails up at Hopkinton-Everett (about the only really good offroad riding area in the state). Don't want to be limited to seeing the same scenery every weekend.
I'd love to do a nice long trail ride up in the Maine woods.

Espresso tampers are an important tool for the barista, used to evenly press down finely ground coffee before pressurized water is applied. The Clive team worked together to bring our own vision for a tamper to the market. We found a Portland craftsman to lathe turn solid planks of Oregon black walnut into custom tamper handles. We brainstormed, prototyped, tested, reworked, and eventually formed an ergonomic and attractive design.
The high quality bases are CNC lathe turned out of stainless steel. We guarantee size accuracy to within a 10th of a millimeter. (A note for the coffee geek: the 58mm tamper bases is sized at 58.3mm to fit snugly with the VST baskets, typically used by our clients in the La Marzocco GS/3).The stainless steel base is offered in three sizes:
- 53mm (La Spaziale)
- 58mm (Quick Mill, Izzo, Rancilio, La Marzocco, Breville, Rocket)
- 58.3mm (fits 58mm portafilters with precision filters from VST, La Marzocco and other companies)

When FERC opened wholesale power markets to competition a decade ago in Order No. 888, it codified a system for awarding grid access known as the pro forma Open-Access Transmission Tariff (OATT),...
Transmission is Bubbling
A billion-dollar 'gold rush' could send grid rates through the roof.
would produce a perverse rate-making result, in effect transferring costs to retail ratepayers, in the form of higher regional transmission rates, that otherwise ordinarily would fall under the responsibility of power-plant developers.
Massachusetts DPU chairman Paul Hibbard explained this idea in July in his "not for citation" presentation before the ISO's new ESP Stakeholder Group:
"Price will be determined by the marginal price of natural gas fired, generation … We cannot change this. We cannot change it by building different types of generation. We cannot change it by building transmission to remote generation. And we cannot change it by selecting the types of wholesale generation resources added to our region—whether fossil, nuclear, or renewable."
Hibbard now explains the discouraging reality of banking on a big grid build-out to bring distant renewables to urban markets:
"Separately funding transmission from new generation resources whether in Southern New England, offshore, or to bring power in from New York, Northern New England or Canada cannot materially impact the wholesale cost of power in the region. On the other hand, it would affect the price of delivered power at the retail level, but only by increasing it by the cost of transmission that otherwise would remain the responsibility of the generation developer."
Is it true what they say: "As Maine goes, so goes the nation?"
If so, then Massachusetts regulator Hibbard offers some sobering advice:
"The price tag for the Maine Power Connection (and interconnection projects under consideration by this working group) is extraordinary—in the billions.
"So it simply won't be enough to just assert or model that a project or plan provides carbon benefits—they will have to be certain."

Welcome to our 3D collection of fossils, artifacts, primates, and other animals. The purpose of this collection is to allow you to view your favorite objects from our David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins and to help you share your museum experience with your friends and family. Before our exhibit opened, the objects on display were either CT or laser scanned. The scanning process enabled Human Origins Progam staff to generate 3D models of each object that you can view, rotate, and interact with online. It may take a minute or two to load depending on your computer, but after it is loaded you will be able to move the 3D object around by holding down the left-click button and moving your mouse.

October 20, 2005BLM Office, Salem
ROUTINE BUSINESS: John Brandt, Chair, called the meeting to order at 9:00 am. John noted that with four in attendance today we have a quorum. Emily was introduced as the new Environmental Specialist for Marion County Public Works that recently replaced Matt Thorburn.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Laura Dowlan, Michael Higgs, John Brandt, Robert Garrett
MEMBERS ABSENT: Wynn Cudmore, Jyll Smith
GUEST: Emily AcklandAry, Environmental Specialist for Marion County.
STAFF PRESENT: Jeff Bickford, Tanya Beard, Diana Shamberger
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:Motion: John moved to approve the minutes from the two previous meetings, July 7, 2005 and August 1, 2005. The motion was seconded.
Vote: The vote was unanimous in favor.
Comments: Robert suggested, for any similar future projects, i.e. the recent BMX proposal, that may be presented to the Parks Commission (here after known as PC), their group should create a checklist to give to citizens so they can research the feasibility of their ideas before they are brought to the PC for consideration. This checklist could streamline the process for citizens. Jeff noted that this suggestion, although a good idea, was not related to comments from the previous minutes and suggested to add an opportunity on the agenda for "commission input" on our regular agenda items. The PC group agreed it was a great idea.
Motion: Mike made a motion to include a comment time for commission input as a regular agenda item. The motion was seconded.Vote: The vote was unanimous in favor.
Motion: Laura motioned to add this item to today's agenda. The motion was seconded. Vote: The vote was unanimous in favor.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None
Rogers Wayside Park:
Minto Park:
Denny Park:
Auburn Park:
Tanya's increased ORPA NRS involvement - (Oregon Recreation Parks Association) Tanya was recently elected the secretary for this group and new position will certainly increase her activities. She will be involved with restorations and community projects and also spend more time working on the Keizer Rapids Project by providing technical support for City of Salem and Keizer to do an impact analysis.
Bonesteele Park: The prescribed burn at the park to control noxious vegetation was successful. Tanya recently worked with a group of student volunteers to clean up blackberries and plant wildflowers at the park. Next week's volunteer project includes 79 students from Livingston Adventist Academy to work on more weed cleanup. Some of these volunteers were gained in a cooperative project with Mike Ryan who was formerly a commissioner for Marion County.
Other Business: Jeff reminded the PC that most of our parks would be closed for the winter season on November 1, and he has already posted the media release and the information will be updated on our web site. Filming of a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie has been proposed in Scotts Mills and North Fork Parks. They have asked permission to dig a 2 ft hole in the river. Considering the impact on fish activity this time of year, it is not advisable and will most likely not be approved. ODF will give them that answer. Jeff will probably be the staff person to monitor the activity.
Tanya wanted to let PC members know about the possibility of reinstating Marion County as a weed district. This implementation could potentially provide opportunities for county staff to address working on public lands to abate weeds. The goal would be to provide educational opportunities and outreach program on noxious weeds for citizens.
BLM and PW are working towards signing a parks host agreement. This agreement will provide a benefit to both agencies by providing a presence at our parks.
10:00 AM Field trip to Cain Property – returned at 11:20 AM
Further discussion of Cain Property and how to proceed: Tanya wanted the PC to consider future costs for maintenance at the property to control noxious weeds and vegetation. Although it is not a concern at this time, it may be in the near future. A current survey of the property is needed to best assess how to resolve a right-of-way issue with a neighboring property placing a gate on the ROW. A quick assessment of the property showed a few native plants on site; Oregon asters, fir, noble fir and madrone trees along with the remnants of an old prune orchard. The goal of this trip was to provide some background information in order to determine the future use of this MC parks property.
Q. Should the PC recommend we retain the property for future development or consider selling it to use the funds for parks land acquisitions or park projects? The biggest concern could be the cost of maintenance. Other things to consider when determining its value would be zoning and what kinds of development would be allowed on this parcel. The answers to these questions will help to determine the value of the property.
Q. Could the PC recommend to surplus the property in conjunction with a purchase of a different piece of property to later be developed as a future park?
Q. If the land is determined eligible for development, could we consider implementing a conservation easement?
Q. What is access like from the north?
A. Tanya said none! It was also asked how it came to be county property. Jeff replied that most likely it was acquired from a foreclosure.
In conclusion, we need to find out zoning regulations, and look into conditional use or rezoning possibilities if it were determined that the best use of the land was to develop it as a park. Once surveyed, we could determine the easement issues and property lines. Tanya said we don't currently have a survey on any of our parks properties. To make an informed recommendation, we need a rough property value, as we are not far enough along in the process for a professional evaluation of property value. Robert inquired that if the property was sold, could the new landowner clear-cut the trees. The answer was if we sell the property, we no longer have any say in its development. John asked if Jeff could provide a topographic map to further review the parcel. Jeff said that county staff would get the additional information needed and give the group an update at our next PC meeting. The BOC or our county administrator would make the final decision on the future of the property. The question that started this process came from the planning department by asking parks what the current status was of this park property. There is no rush to make a decision on what to do with the land. John asked if we have other properties in the county. Tanya said yes, there are quite a few. We also need an estimate on a cost for a survey and a current tax value.
Parkdale Park: Tanya provided an update on wetland mitigation issues. It was necessary to widen the work area where trees had been planted so the water and trees will stay put. Parks staff is working with Adam Stephens Middle School for the school kids to adopt the project. Emily also did a parks survey at this school from the kids point of view, with what kids asked for in our county parks. John asked to be kept updated on the project.
Next Meeting: Thursday, January 19, 2006. Agenda items will include: review our bylaws requirements for the year, approval of previous minutes, Commission Member Input, Cain property updates, BMX-Rogers Wayside, Auburn, Parkdale, and other park updates and the application process for upcoming projects. Tanya will work on creating a rough draft.
