Set to become an instant British gangster classic, the award-winning DOWN TERRACE is the startling debut film from Ben Wheatley.
Providing the perfect blend of cold-blooded thrills and wicked humour, it breathes new life into the crime genre.
Taking the best elements of The Sopranos and giving them a very British twist, the film focuses on the kind of issues faced by all families.
Such as who grassed up son Karl (Robin Hill) to the local police? How will dad Bill (Robert Hill) explain the recent drop in profits to his bosses in London? Can Uncle Eric (Schaal) dispose of a body without making a mess of it again? And what should mum Maggie (Spaced's Julia Deakin) make for tea? .

mazda6iguy Posts: 365I am going to be getting an oil change and the 40k mile service next week at my Mazda dealer. I am just wondering if I am going to have to go back to the dealer for every oil change, or do other independant shops / oil change places have the knowlege and parts to do this? I have the 2.3 4 cyl. engine (a 2003 model) that as everyone here probably knows has the cartridge and o ring setup. I have heard somewhere that there is a kit that you can get that will convert the filter to a Mazda 3 type twist on filter. Also, has anyone yet had to change a headlight on their cars? I have not had to yet, but the manual says "take it to the dealer". Just wondering.
tim15 Posts: 10I have only 500 miles on my Mazda 6 wagon, and have noticed what sounds like load tappets, or clicking sound when at idle. The dealer said it is just the fuel injectors. Does this sound normal? Also, I was going to change the oil to 200% synthetic. The dealer said this might void the warranty. Any info on this?
camarillobrill Posts: 44
eev6s Posts: 1My clutch is slipping and chattering, mostly in second gear. I have a 2003 Mazda 6s 6 cyl. 5 speed that has been driven 29,000 miles. The dealer said that they will have to tear apart the transmission to diagnose the clutch at a cost of $800.00. The clutch is only warranted for 12,000 miles. Anyone else have this particular clutch problem?
mz6greyghost Posts: 1,230
jammin3 Posts: 2I have a 2005 Mazda 6 with the 4 cylinder. It has 5,000 miles but has been doing this since I got it. When the engine is cold (has been sitting over night or all day while at work) the car runs sluggish until about 3200 RPM, then it takes off like I punched the gas. It only does this for about 3-5 minutes then it runs normal. I took it to the dealer and they said it is normal. They said there is a Tumble Swirl Control Valve that opens at higher RPM's. He also said that when the car is warm, this valve is always open. Anyone else have this problem?
markk1 Posts: 30When we first got our 2003 Mazda6 the local Valvoline oil change place told us they did not have the cartridge but soon would. Fortuatly since we are not too near our dealer by the next oil change they carried it.
On the headlight did they mean the Headlight or headlight lamp? I'll be really upset if changing the lamp is difficult enough that the dealer. I just changed the bulb on our other car (Subaru Outback) the bulb was $5 and the change took under 5 minutes -
gee35coupe Posts: 3,475
xplorx4 Posts: 621The manual says you should have your Mazda dealer replace the bulbs because doing so isn't just a simple matter of unplugging the bulbs and plugging new ones in.
Replacement of the driver's side headlamp bulb requires you to remove the air intake assembly, since it prevents access to the back of the headlamp, where there's a snap-on cover that protects all of the headlamp innards.
I'm sure that it was easier for Mazda to write "bring it to your dealer" than it was to write detailed instructions about how to remove the air intake in order to change the headlamp bulbs. But honestly, removing the air intake box is pretty easy- 4 snaps holding the top half to the bottom, move the top out of the way, and pull up firmly on the bottom half to pop it free from its rubber grommets. -
lefthandman Posts: 47The Mazda 3.0 V6 is based on Ford's 3.0 Duratec engine, but it is not an exact replica. I found the following at www.wikipedia.org -Lefthandman
Duratec 30
The 3.0 L Duratec 30 or Mazda AJ was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the 232 in³ (3.8 L) Essex V6 in the Taurus/Sable. It has 2967 cc of displacement and produces between 200 and 240 horsepower (150 and 180 kW). The same basic engine is used in the Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, Mazda MPV, Mazda6, Mondeo ST220 and many other Ford vehicles. It is essentially a bored-out (to 88.9 mm) Duratec 25 and is built in Ford's Cleveland, OH #2 plant. A slightly modified version for the Ford Five Hundred entered production at the Cleveland, OH #1 plant in 2004.
There are two key versions of the Duratec 30:
(1) DAMB - The Lincoln LS and Jaguar AJ30 versions have direct-acting mechanical bucket (DAMB) tappets. Output is 232 hp (173 kW) at 6750 RPM with 220 ft·lbf (298 N·m) of torque at 4500 rpm.
(2) RFF - The Taurus/Sable/Escape version uses roller finger followers (RFF) instead and produces 201 hp (150 kW) at 5900 RPM with 207 ft·lbf (281 N·m) of torque at 4400 rpm.
The 2006 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr feature a version of the Duratec 30 utilizing variable valve timing. The engine will have an output of 221 horsepower (165 kW) at 6250 rpm, and 205 ft·lbf (278 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm.
Mazda's MZI version adds variable valve timing, as does Jaguar's AJ30. Note that the MZI name is also used in Europe on Mazda's version of the Ford Sigma I4. The 3.0 L, 226 hp V6 used in the Mondeo ST220 is called Duratec ST. The 3.0 L, 204 hp V6 in the Mondeo Titanium is called Duratec SE. -
lefthandman Posts: 47Check out the message below, and search this discussion using the key word 'clutch' for additional info. Good luck! -Lefthandman
Message #1557:
For those of you who are still experiencing clutch chatter with your manual tranny...Mazda sent out a TSB today. The clutch disc material is modified to address the concern. TSB # 05-003/05. just came out today, so your local dealers may not be up to speed yet. -
lmp2 Posts: 205 Mazda 6 has had transmission "disengage" 12-14 times when travelling at slower speeds; stop and go traffic and parking lots. transmission goes to shift from 2-3 and it is like the clutch is pushed in and the engine revs (car is automatic), RPMs kick up and then the car goes into gear. Taken to dealer 4 times and they can't replicate. Working with Mazda customer service and dealer at this time to get it fixed. They feel they can find the problem and fix it. Anyone have a similar problem? Related or not related, the steering control for the volume of the radio has changed the station on two occassions rather then adjust the volume. Anyone know what might cause this?
pats1 Posts: 36I have had a lot of problems with my 2005 6-speed automatic transmission in 17K miles. They've replaced the throttle body and reflashed the computer 4 times. It's still not right. So much for getting something the first year it's offered. They say that they have no fix and Tech Services is working on it. This is very frustrating. They will not likely offer you an extended warranty because they'll have to pay for it out of their profit from paying customers. (They make zilch on warranty work.) If you can get one out of them, let me know.
Good luck. -
mazda6iguy Posts: 365
gmcjoe Posts: 11I've got a feeling you were charged about the going rate. If you think you paid too much, next time you might consider changing it yourself. The filter (Mazda part # GK3J-61-148) can be had for about $25. After removing the glove box door, you can replace the old one in about 5 minutes. There are a couple of Mazda6 "tech" forums out there where you may find the entire procedure with pictures.
mazda6iguy Posts: 365I thought I was charged to little, believe it or not. Somewhere I heard that the labor and parts were around $100. Not sure where I got that info, but I was happy when I paid what I did. Next time I will do the job myself, maybe.
The breakdown was the filter cost $29.00 and the Labor $10.00 and Freight $5.00. -
kaos14 Posts: 3I had a new windshield installed on my '04 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon S too.....it looks like when they install the replacement it "sits" too close to the dash board at the bottom left and right......I installed (pressed in between the windshield and dash) 2 rubber spacers on the left/right dash areas and rattle is gone.....

Meet the new FedEx Efficient Containers. Lighter design. Less fuel. |
Taking weight off a jet isn't a new idea. It's a problem aviators have tried to solve since the early pages of aviation history. Extra weight equals extra fuel. When you find the right balance, you can fly farther, use less fuel and reduce emissions. But it's how you take the weight off that gets interesting.
Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly across the Atlantic using a plane covered in lightweight linen. Today, this same mindset is inspiring a whole new generation of innovations and I'm happy to say much safer than some of those early ideas.
One of our newest EarthSmart Innovations, the FedEx Efficient Container, takes this mindset to heart. These unit load devices (ULDs) are the containers that keep packages safe during loading, transit and unloading of our aircraft. Efficient containers, which begin service with our maiden 767 flight later this month, will be significantly lighter than the models currently in our network. For example, our largest container used on the 777s will weigh almost 150 lbs. lighter.
In fact, once we finish retrofitting or replacing about 23,000 older-model ULDs, Efficient Containers will remove more than 1.6 million pounds from our air network. This equates to saving approximately 2.8 million gallons of fuel each year and reducing our CO2 emissions by 77.8 million pounds.
For the past three years, I've collaborated with our strategic projects and air ops teams and our manufacturer to bring this idea to life. On the outset we all agreed to a few simple principles. Make it lighter, make it safe, make it use space more efficiently and make it 100 percent recyclable.
After countless Cad drawings and tests, three years of planning are paying off: 100 hundred test units on 21,000 flight cycles saved more than $200,000 in fuel costs. Now we're about to bring four new models online consisting of a total of 38 new parts.
These containers join a host of weight-reducing efforts at FedEx from re-distributing weight in the cargo hull to streamlining galley equipment. Together with our new fuel-efficient aircraft like the 767s, and 777s, we're making a significant impact on our goal to reduce aircraft emissions intensity 30 percent by 2020.

It gives me great pride to know that I work for a company who is always FORWARD thinking to make our worklife and where we live a better place. Awesome job! |
Mon, 10/14/2013 - 10:14 by Dave Lee |
Thanks for the great comments! To answer a couple of your questions:
1. We are purchasing new models only to support our new aircraft – the B767 and B777. The rest of our existing fleet will be changed over to lightweight ULDs as they transit in for repair. We'd be paying for repairs anyway, and with the new models we're investing in a better long term product. Estimated payback is actually increased long-term savings. 2. Total weight savings varies by the ULD type. For example, the AMJ containers used on our wide body aircraft have an average tare weight of 758 lbs. The new design weighs 607 lbs. -Dave Lee |

This is a really good move for reducing costs and improve our margins. |
Thu, 10/10/2013 - 04:26 by Rodrigo |
Wow. Very Nice add to our network. Can't wait to see it in Brazil and new inovations from EarthSmart team! Congratulations |
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 07:05 by David |
What is the cost to replace 23,000 ULD's and therefore what is the estimated payback? |
Tue, 10/08/2013 - 03:19 by Elisabeth de Zagon |
Awesome. Can't wait to see them on our European network! |
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 12:41 by Tim Bruner |
Wow! Just amazing numbers on this! |
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 09:08 by Grant Wood |
Amazing !! Great idea, someone is always thinking of new ways to improve the system. Good work !! |
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 07:34 by Jad Musallam |
Thats great news to hear the amount of savings the new ULD's can potentially bring to the company and environment! |
Fri, 10/04/2013 - 13:34 by Francois |
Well done Dave. Tremendous improvement on fuel consuming and good for Earth !!!! What asking more ? |

World Stage at last Two down, one to go. That was the message from national coach Brad Johnstone after Fiji's hard earned 38-22 win against Canada. "Every victory is a relief for a coach," Johnstone said, "but we came here to win three matches and the job isn't finished yet." In what was the most important game for both teams in many years, Fiji overcame a nervous start to outscore the Canadians four tries to one at Stade Lescure in Bordeaux. A drop goal in the 33rd minute from Canada's veteran captain Gareth Rees had seen his team stretch out a 16-5 lead, but two tries in a five-minute spell before half-time swung the game for the Fijians. "I felt like jumping off a bridge in those opening 30 minutes," Johnstone said. "It took us a long time to get going, but we played with more structure than we did against Namibia." Vili Satala, who signed with French club Mont-de-Marsan four days before the match, celebrated his new contract with a brace of tries, cutting through Canada's backline on both occasions. Fero Lasagavibau was unlucky not to see his name on the scoresheet. He raced through for a touch down in the 35th minute, but the referee awarded a penalty try. Then deep into first-half injury time, he rounded his markers again and dived over, but referee Ed Morrison called play back and gave Fiji a penalty instead. Fiji totally dominated the second half with Nicky Little picking up two more penalty goals, one dropped goal and a conversion to take his match total to 18 points. Marika Vunibaka scored an opportunist try in the 61st minute when he latched onto a fortunate bounce, exchanged passes with No.8 Koli Sewabu and barged through two tackles on his way to the line. Serevi took over fullback duties from Alfred Uluinayau at half time, while Little continued as place kicker. "Obviously, the presence of Nicky Little is very important," Johnstone said. "He's a 15s specialist, he grew up with the game, and things work in a more controlled fashion for us when he is on the field." Canada only managed six points in the second half as Fiji's defence looked increasingly secure and won praises from the Canadian coach Pat Parfrey. "Fiji played a modern game," Parfrey said. "They kept putting the ball behind us, keeping the pressure on. And they had the skilful backs in reserve when they needed them. "Fiji clearly deserved to win the game. Their skills were superior to ours." Fiji's control left Rees similarly impressed. "That was a side of Fiji rugby we haven't seen before," he said, adding that he thought Fiji would cause France a lot of problems. "Fiji can beat a lot of teams. They were much more physical than we expected. We turned the screws on them for the first half hour, but they came back well and did the same to us," he said. Fiji have never beaten France before, yet confidence in John-stone's camp was high, knowing that victory would secure a quarter-final berth in Dublin. But Johnstone wasn't about to count his chickens: "I think we're all getting carried away if we feel that Fiji are favourites against France. "The French have been playing wonderful rugby for many years, so we still have a big job ahead."

Wet and Wild Competition BBQ
June 7, 2011
When it comes to cooking barbecue competitively, one thing you learn very quickly is how to deal with whatever Mother Nature throws your way. And that's especially true when you live in the Northeast. I've competed in 10 degree cold and I've cooked in 110 degree heat. Wind, rain, darn near hurricane force winds…you find a way to make it through the night and hope for the best at turn-in time.
Below is a video from one of my latest foul weather contests and while it may seem intimidating at first, with a little proper planning, you can make the most of almost any situation.
Tip #1: Never assume your competition site is there to stay. My very first KCBS contest was held in the middle of a terrible wind and rain storm and I put way too much trust in the tiny ground spikes provided by the pop-up canopy manufacturer. The result? A 12×12 foot canopy rolling down the road while my drenched teammates gave chase. Today I strap everything to anything, using ratchet straps to tether canopy legs to water filled buckets, attach to coolers, tie to the trailer and whatever else might keep them from being destroyed by the wind. Also consider spending a bit more for heavier gauge canopies and carports versus the less expensive and lightweight options that rarely survive the storm.
Tip #2: Know the lay of the land. If there's an area that teams don't seem to be setting up in, there is probably a reason. I made that mistake once and found myself in a lake at 3am as all the water from the higher grounded sites ran down towards me. It's also good to know what nearby permanent structures could provide temporary shelter should things get way too out of hand.
Tip #3: Come packin'. Weather is a fickle friend. I always make sure to pack a wide array of clothes in order to deal with whatever might come my way. Layers for late night dips in temperature, extra footwear for drying off after massive storms, and so on. There's nothing worse than trying to get a brisket on the smokers at 2am after the temperature suddenly dropped 20 degrees and your hands won't stop shaking because you've got nothing warm and dry to change in to.
Tip #4: The cookers come first. Sure you may get a little wet, a little cold, a little sunburned or otherwise, but if your goal is to ultimately win you have to put the cookers and the competition meat first. A little extra protection from the canopies when the rains are intensifying, maybe a wrap in your favorite blanket when the temperatures are dipping too low…It's all down to what you are willing to do to make sure your entries are the best they can be even if it mean a little wear and tear on the pit master overnight.
Tip #5: Black out. This is actually my favorite tip because it has happened too many times to count. While most contests provide electric to teams, the ability to maintain that power during severe weather is suspect at best. Sure I could invest in a portable generator and rely on no one but myself and my ability to fill the generator with gas. But what's the thrill in that? Supply yourself with plenty of backup lighting, try to minimize the amount of onsite late night work (i.e. do as much meat trimming as possible before you arrive on site), and don't be afraid of the dark!

Retail Energy Contracts
If you are approached to sign or renew a gas or electricity contract for your home or small business, it's important to know who you're dealing with. Energy company salespeople must wear an ID badge and give you a business card.
Four things to remember if you are approached to sign an energy contract:
Always make sure you get a business card and look at the salesperson's ID badge first
Don't share personal information (i.e. your gas or electricity bill) unless you are sure you want to sign a contract
Carefully read the contract, disclosure statement and price comparison provided by the salesperson
The Ontario Energy Board does not go door to door
For more tips and information on energy contracts, see our Video and Tipsheets below, or read our latest Consumer Brochure.

What is the OEB's relationship to Energy Companies?
The Ontario Energy Board regulates the conduct of companies that offer retail energy contracts to residential and small business electricity and natural gas consumers in Ontario.
Here are some of the things that the Board does to protect the interests of consumers:
- We license electricity retailers and gas marketers and require them to follow fair business practices
- We provide comprehensive information to residential and small business consumers on their rights and responsibilities; and
- We monitor and enforce compliance so that electricity retailers and gas marketers are accountable if they do not follow their legal or regulatory obligations (See OEB Enforcement Proceedings page on the Industry side of our website)
Ontario's Energy Consumer Protection Act, 2010 (ECPA) paved the way for additional protection for residential and small business energy consumers. Visit the Ministry of Energy website for more information about the ECPA. After the ECPA took effect, we updated our own rules for electricity retailers and gas marketers.
The Energy Consumer Protection Act, 2010 (ECPA)
The ECPA established a new framework for retailers and marketers offering contracts to residential and small business consumers, including:
- Retailers/marketers can only enter into, verify, renew or extend contracts with the account holder, the account holder's spouse or the account holder's authorized agent for the relevant premises
- An identification badge must be worn and prominently displayed by a salesperson
- All contract costs must be disclosed, and the maximum amount for cancellation fees has been limited
- Customers have enhanced rights to cancel contracts
- Consumers are provided with greater transparency
- Contracts and contract renewals must come with a Board-approved price comparison sheet that shows the contract price being offered and the price currently charged by the utility;
- View a sample price comparison sheet
- View the Board-approved price comparison templates showing the price currently charged by the utility - Contracts and contract renewals must come with a plain language disclosure statement approved by the Board;
- View the disclosure statements
- View the disclosure statements in multiple languages;
- Contracts and contract renewals must come with a Board-approved price comparison sheet that shows the contract price being offered and the price currently charged by the utility;

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

How do I get an adult religious education program started or revived? Consider a typical scenario: Several years ago, there was an adult program that many people enjoyed; but for one reason or another, there is no longer such a program. Course offerings in the past were based on whatever volunteers wished to offer, representing an interesting, but hodgepodge approach. New members have joined the congregation, they and others are asking: How can we revitalize adult religious education programming?
A first step is to talk with your minister or religious educator and with people in the congregation who have led or taken part in adult offerings in the past, as well as with those who have expressed interest in starting or reviving a program. Inviting people to share ideas, experiences, and hopes for adult faith development programming is a way to build interest and enthusiasm and to begin to identify potential volunteers who can help make such a program happen.
Whose job is it anyway? The management of adult programs in Unitarian Universalist congregations varies widely. Sometimes, a minister or religious educator assumes primary responsibility; sometimes a committee (variously named Adult Programs, Adult Enrichment, Adult Religious Education, Programs and Activities, or Adult Spirituality); at other times, an individual is appointed or simply assumes responsibility.
If you determine that adult faith development programming in your congregation will be overseen by a lay person or a group of lay people, or by a religious professional in collaboration with lay leaders, begin by identifying one or several individuals who have energy and interest to pursue adult faith development programming. Invite them individually to share their wisdom, their talents, and their leadership skills with the congregation in this way.
Once you have identified and engaged the individual or group who will oversee adult faith development programming, invite them to work with your lay and professional leadership to define the scope of their responsibility and to make sure that parameters and reporting relationships are clear. Important questions to ask include: Who is responsible for determining the offerings and engaging presenters or facilitators? Who is responsible for publicity? Who is responsible for operational support of the program (building use, set up and clean up, etc.)? Who is responsible for evaluating the program offerings? To whom are those who oversee adult offerings accountable?
I am interested in coordinating adult religious education, but I don't know a lot about the subject. You do not have to be a professional educator to understand the basics of adult development and learning. Adult learning is an ongoing activity; it is often accidental and an outcome of some other activity. By contrast, adult education is a planned activity, often having specific short- or long-term objectives. Adult religious education is a set of planned activities that enable people who share similar religious values, sense of spirituality, or a similar faith stance to work together for spiritual awakening and faith development—religious growth.
Adult learners come with experience. They ask questions. Some Unitarian Universalists are skeptical and challenging; others are goal-oriented. They may be looking for spiritual growth and a sense of connection, not only with other people, but with the mystery of being alive. They may be eager to figure out how they can help to bring more love and justice into the world. Most adults make commitments to particular types of learning that has relevance in their lives. They are voluntary learners who are self-directed and highly motivated under the right conditions. They seek particular kinds of information and experiences to supplement what they already know.
How should I begin thinking about the planning process? There are several levels of planning. A good place to begin is with the congregation's mission statement. If the mission (or vision) statement has been reviewed or revised within the past 3 to 5 years, it no doubt reflects the current identity and priorities of the congregation. Notice whether there is a particular focus that might be a guiding point. For example, each word of the following concise mission statement from the Community Church of New York suggests several themes for adult religious education: "Creating a caring, diverse, antiracist, spiritual community."
If the congregation's mission statement is out-of-date, or less focused, you may wish to take the opportunity to write a mission or vision statement for adult faith development and to come to agreement on some goals for the program. Having talented people within the congregation who wish to lead programs is not enough reason to start an adult religious education program; the program must arise from and contribute to the mission and the ministry of your congregation.
Once the mission and goals are sufficiently defined, consider conducting a simple needs assessment in your congregation to determine what kind of offerings interest people in your congregation. Although this can be done informally by asking for input from lay and professional leaders and from congregants, the assessment will be a more inclusive if you use a more formal process—a written survey or focus group—to determine the perceived needs of congregants. If appropriate, a survey might be inserted in the Sunday Order of Service, or given to each congregant as he or she enters the sanctuary on a particular Sunday.
Once you have determined what kinds of offerings are of interest in your congregation, your adult faith development oversight group should consider the question of balance in your programming. Ask if your program includes:
A comprehensive adult religious education program should include offerings in several areas and can be rotated over time.
Another area of planning involves who will facilitate the programs and workshops, engaging people in the learning process. Identify people with proven facilitation skills and invite them not only to lead programs, but to mentor others so as to build a cadre of good leaders and facilitators.
What program formats shall we offer? It is important to consider that learning styles may be as varied as the number of people in a given group. Some respond best to visual learning while others learn through auditory senses, and still others through kinesthetic approaches. Some may prefer an intellectual approach while others prefer an experiential approach. Some people are reflective learners, while others are concrete thinkers. Some will prefer a formal presentation, while others prefer a less-formal structure. Try not to restrict your offerings to classroom lectures, but include reading and discussion groups, worship and celebration, field trips (e.g., events that lead to cultural exploration and cultural critique), reflection on issues leading to social action, and opportunities for service or witness.
How do I recruit facilitators? If your congregation is not already in the habit of collecting information such as interests and skills from new members, you may wish to encourage such a practice. This is a good way to begin an assessment of who is already within the congregation that may have something valuable to share with others. Alternatively, include a question about skills and knowledge in your needs assessment. You may also make an announcement in the church bulletin or in the worship service. Once you have identified those who will facilitate, consider what supports they will need in order for the experience to be a good one both for them and for the group. Do they need training? If so, who will provide it? Who will support them if concerns or issues arise during the course of a program?
What are good practices to keep in mind when planning adult religious education?

Escape from New York
But there's no danger of the Hamptons coming down to earth any time soon. It's still a place where hopelessly urbanised weekenders and second-homers are willing to pay handsomely for rustic experiences, provided only too happily by locals whose other sources of income (such as whaling and potato farming) have long vanished.
Take that clambake on Wainscott Beach, for example. A company named Claws on Wheels is one of a few that will take care of everything - using their employees' residents' permits to literally drive a grill onto the beach - for £80-£100 per head. For parties under 50, guests can legally bring their own alcohol. 'For people who were born and bred here like me, this used to be a very basic, simple thing to do,' says Emma Beudert, 24, who manages the operation from a small industrial estate. 'Now it's still simple, but it's also a luxury.' And it isn't cheap. Kurt Wiesenmaier's bill was nearly £1,300, all in. That's modest, however, compared with another Claws on Wheels customer, who recently entertained 200 friends on the beach. The total? £50,000.
Not everything in the Hamptons is high-class though. Especially not at Cyril's Fish House, a shack on Route 27, owned by 68-year-old Irishman, Cyril Fitzsimons. He came to America 45 years ago and enlisted in the US Marine Corps. 'I wanted to fight in a war, and Vietnam was the only one available,' he explains from under his straw hat. 'I was a platoon sergeant, Charlie company, 1st battalion, 5th Marines. My tour lasted 14 months.'
The food at Cyril's is cheap, fried and not very memorable. But the drinks are strong, and the locals - among them a few Long Island fishermen, known as Bonackers, or Bubbies (they once had their own dialect) - can't get enough of it. Above the bar hangs a New York license plate which reads 'HAMMERED'. Another sign boasts: 'Cyril's... a sunny place for shady people'.
Then there's the banner in the car park, which makes sure everyone knows that 'Eastern Long Island Police Respect Cyril'. Perhaps that's why so many people seem to have no problem staggering from the bar to their convertibles on a Saturday night.
Every day during the summer, the man himself can be found sitting near the front of house, chain-smoking Marlboro reds. With his ginger moustache, sun-destroyed hair and huge, rhinestone-studded watch, he's become a Hamptons icon. Nevertheless, conversation with Cyril isn't advisable beyond 3pm, by which time he has made the most of his own hospitality. And as soon as the season ends, he's gone: he flies to Anguilla in the Caribbean, where he owns two other establishments. He came to this part of Long Island, he says, to 'meet the rich and famous', which is precisely what he did. Visitors to his shack have included President Richard Nixon: 'I was a big fan.'
Another escape from the old-money Hamptons can be found at Sunset Beach, a bar, restaurant and hotel on Shelter Island, which lies between the north and south forks. To get there, you take a drive-on ferry, which crosses an absurdly narrow channel of water and seems to arrive before it has even set sail. Between the French bistro menu, the boozy, well-dressed crowd and the sunset views from the roof-deck over Pipes Coves, you could almost be in St Barts. The food is excellent - the branzino (Mediterranean sea bass) is perfect - although it should be for the Manhattan prices. The only problem is claustrophobia, which sets in with alarming speed when a ferry separates you from the mainland. After dinner, it's a relief to be making for the lights of Sag Harbor ahead.

Our Peace Officers respond to all complaints of animal cruelty and neglect. The majority of the concerns the department investigates are easily resolved matters where the Peace Officers use the opportunity to educate people on animal protection laws. In severe circumstances, the animals can be seized and/or the owner criminally charged.
Animal Services is a department of the City of Calgary. Their officers enforce an extensive set of bylaws relating to animals (dogs at large, barking, biting, licensing, nuisance cats, etc). Generally speaking, it can be said that Animal Services protects people from animals and CHS protects animals from people. To report a concern relating to an animal bylaw call: City of Calgary Animal Services at 311. To report an act of cruelty outside the Calgary city limits contact the Alberta SPCA at 1.800.455.9003.
The Protection and Investigations Department enforces animal protection laws that pertain to cruelty and neglect.
If you witness an act of animal cruelty or animals being deprived of adequate food, water, shelter or care, you can make a confidential complaint by calling 403-205-4455. If the Humane Society is closed or if your the call is in regards to the poisoning of pet, please call Calgary Police Service at 403-266-1234.
Calgary Humane Society Peace Officers enforce two separate pieces of legislation that pertain to animal cruelty and neglect.
This provincial statute outlines that it is an offence to allow your animal to be in distress. The Act defines distress as:Being deprived of adequate food, water, care or shelterInjured, sick, in pain, or suffering,Abused or subjected to undue hardship, privation, or neglect
If found guilty of an offence under the APA, a person may face a fine of up to $20,000 and a lifetime prohibition from owning any animal. Each province has their own Animal Protection Act legislation.
Certain sections of the Criminal Code of Canada relate to animal protection. In the Criminal Code is it is written that "everyone commits an offence who":
If found guilty of such a Criminal Code offence, under an indictable offence a person can be fined up to $10,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years. If found guilty under a summary conviction a person can be fined up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 18 months. The sentence may also include up to a lifetime prohibition from owning an animal and if found guilty can be ordered to pay restitution.

By now, everyone has to have seen the latest musical gem from the guys over at The Basketball Jones, proclaiming Andrea Bargnani as a "2012 Orlando All Star man."
But behind the insanely hilarious video is an actual message: Andrea Bargnani is playing at an All Star level, or at least was playing at that level before a calf strain sidelined him for the last five games.
In years past, even mentioning Bargnani in the same sentence as All Star weekend would have been enough to warrant a comedic video on its own. Now it's a legitimate thought in an awesome video, a thought which Tas Melas has voiced seriously on TBJ, a point I made many times during the season's first few weeks and a point Dwane Casey has said he has discussed with other coaches around the NBA.
For the first time in Bargnani's six-year NBA career, the All Star buzz is at least out there. But what I never really did put thought into, since we were so early into the season, was how Andrea's numbers and overall play compared to others in the league and others in the Eastern Conference.
Now we're about a quarter of the way through this condensed season, and I am ready to officially ask the question, Is Andrea Bargnani an Eastern Conference All Star?
Before I go on, I'll point out that this post is based on the assumption that Bargnani will return to the floor as early as Sunday's game against the Clippers and no later than the next week or so. If he doesn't play in enough games, he's obviously not All Star worthy.
Let's look at the numbers.
In 35.2 minutes per game over 11 games played, Bargnani is averaging 22.3 points (career-high) on 48.9 per cent shooting (career-high) to go along with 6.5 rebounds (career-high) and 1.9 assists (career-high).
His blocks per game is below 1.0 for the second consecutive season, but anyone who has watched Bargnani this year knows that his overall defence is vastly improved. He was already an underrated one-on-one defender, and Dwane Casey has somehow taught Andrea how to be at least an average team defender, if not above average.
In general, it's Il Mago's hustle that has made the difference. He's leaving it all out there on both ends of the floor, and though his rebounding total could and should still be higher as a seven-footer, his rebounding instincts and fight on the glass are also noticeably improved.
So we know Bargnani is having by far a career year and is finally looking like the type of player Bryan Colangelo and the Raptors selected No. 1 overall in the 2006 NBA Draft, but that doesn't necessarily make him All Star worthy.
To determine his All Star worth, we must also look at what other players in the Eastern Conference are doing and how Bargnani's numbers stack up. If you look at the last few years of NBA All Star games, you'll see that each season, the respective rosters have anywhere from four to seven big men, with an average of five or six.
Voting for starters is broken down by guards, forwards and centres, but the selections to fill out the rest of the roster are much less strict. Right now, it looks like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony will be the East's starting forwards, so the only actual big man in the starting five will be Dwight Howard.
This means that realistically, Bargnani will have to be viewed as one of the next best three to six big men in the East (after Howard) to have any chance of playing in Orlando on February 26.
In terms of scoring, Bargnani is third in the Eastern Conference and tops among big men in the East. He's also one of only six players in the NBA averaging 20 points or more while shooting above 48 per cent (along with LeBron, Howard, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin).
Bargnani's low rebounding numbers could hold him back, but I feel as though if he can keep his average above six, and perhaps flirt with seven or more, it will be a respectable enough number to not become a negatively deciding factor. In the four games before he was injured, Andrea totaled 32 rebounds for an average of eight boards per game, so his most recent play does suggest he can keep those rebounding numbers respectable.
In terms of advanced statistics, the only big men in the East with a higher Player Efficiency Rating or Win Shares are Dwight Howard, Ryan Anderson, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith.
When you look at the numbers as a whole, it becomes clear that at worst, Bargnani is playing like a top-10 big man in the East, and at best, is a top-three Eastern big.
Skeptics and critics will make the "winning team" argument, but the NBA's belief that All Stars should come from successful teams is one of my biggest pet peeves in sports. As I've said countless times, the success of a player's team should come into question in the MVP race, not in determining which players are more worthy of All Star selections. If two guys are neck and neck in terms of numbers and performance, then I'm fine with using team performance as a type of tie-breaker, but to rule out potential All Stars simply because their teammates aren't as talented as other players' teammates is just plain stupid.
Based on what I've seen, the only two big men that should be surefire All Stars in the East are Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh. After that, you could make an argument for guys like Ryan Anderson, Josh Smith, Greg Monroe and Roy Hibbert (yes, I'm aware of how ridiculous and underwhelming that list seems, but look at the numbers this season) with Bargnani right in the thick of that conversation.
If only four big men are granted access this year, then I could understand a tough decision to leave Bargnani out. But if five or six bigs end up on the Eastern Conference roster and Andrea Bargnani is not one of those players despite maintaining his current numbers, it would be a pretty tough ruling for decision-makers to defend. And if guys like Carlos Boozer and Amare Stoudemire get into the game ahead of Bargnani based on their names alone, it would just be pathetic.
So if Andrea Bargnani returns to action and picks up right where he left off, then sing along Raptors fans, because for God sake, NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT PASTA!

The CM-ENN UP/DOWN monitors levels of conductive liquids and media and is used e.g. for liquid level control in pump systems. The measuring principle is based on the resistance change sensed by single-pole electrodes. The function of the output relay 11-12/14 can be selected by a selector switch on the front of the unit to fill "UP" or drain "DOWN". If the "UP" function is selected, the output relay is energized until the MAX electrode becomes wet.

If you are looking for SEW Eurodrive Gearmotors, please call us on (800) 894 - 0412 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com we will do our best to help you find the SEW Eurodrive Gear Motors that you are looking for at the most competitive prices possible. If you are searching for SEW Eurodrive Constant Speed Gearmotor technical information (data-sheets) please use the datasheets or product selection guide page links.
Sew Eurodrive's R-Series Parallel Helical Gearmotors deliver exceptional performance and reliability combined with low maintenance. Available in many configurations, they have proven themselves with their efficiency and durable gearing. SEW Eurodrive Gearmotors are manufactured from certified steel, heat treated to a case hardness of 58-62 Rockwell C for long gear life.
Sew Eurodrive's S-Series gearmotors offer helical-before-worm gearing combining durability with power-packed performance in a compact design that requires no motor belts or couplings. SEW Eurodrive Gearmotors worm shaft and helical gears manufactured from certified steel, heat treated to a case hardness of 58-62 Rockwell C for long gear life.
Sew Eurodrive's F-Series parallel helical gearmotor lives up to its name as the ideal drive for tight space conditions. This compact drive, with its multiple mounting configurations, is a rugged alternative to right angled gearmotors. SEW Eurodrive Gearmotor Gears manufactured from certified steel, heat treated to a case hardness of 58-62 Rockwell C for long gear life. SEW Eurodrive Gearcases are made of high strength gray cast iron, SAE Class 30.
Sew Eurodrive's K-Series right angle helical-bevel gearmotors deliver maximum performance and reliability with 95%+ efficiency and high torque density. Durable gearing designed for long service life makes this drive an ideal choice for rugged, around-the-clock applications. Double output seal design consisting of patented bi-helix inner seal made of Viton and double-lipNitrile (Buna-N) outer seal. Only materials of the highest quality are used in the manufacture of the units.
SPIROPLAN gearmotors are robust right-angle gearmotors with SPIROPLAN gearing. They have three main differences from the helical-worm gear units: the material combination of the steel-on-steel gearing, the special tooth meshing relationships and the aluminum housing. These features make SPIROPLAN® gearmotors very quiet, wear-free and lightweight. The particularly short design and the aluminum housing make for very compact and lightweight drive solutions. The wear-free gearing and the life-long lubrication facilitate long periods of maintenance-free operation. As the oil fill is independent of the mounting position, SPIROPLAN gearmotors can be installed in any mounting position without altering the quantity of oil. Identical hole spacing in the foot and face as well as the equal shaft height to both provides you with diverse mounting options.
SEW-Eurodrive's P-Series combination planetary Gearmotors offers high power density in the high power range. Inline co-axial and right angle configurations add design flexibility.
The MOVIMOT, SEW-Eurodrive's smart gearmotor, offers cost-effective integrated control for gearmotors from 0.5 to 5 hp. This compact drive, mounted directly on the motor, saves enclosure space which saves you money. Since it mounts to standard SEW motors, it can easily be retrofitted in the field. And its aluminum housing makes it rugged for environmentally tough applications.
SEW-Eurodrive servo-drives offer many advantages over conventional drive systems; faster cycle rate, greater positioning accuracy, higher dynamic performance, wider speed control range, full torque at zero speed, and higher overload capability. SEW servo-motors can be combined with either our modular or stand-alone MOVIDYN servo-amplifiers and low-backlash planetary gearing, or with any of SEW's wide range of conventional helical and helical-bevel gearing.
SEW-Eurodrive's VARIMOT mechanically-adjustable gear units deliver straight forward operation and robust performance in applications requiring mechanical stepless speed variation.
SEW Eurodrive VARIGEAR Mechanically-Adjustable Drives can be combined with a large variety of SEW speed reducers in virtually any system requiring variable-speed gearmotors with low output speed and high output torque. They can also be used without reduction as direct machine drives, either in the foot-mounted or flange-mounted configuration. The speed adjustment range of SEW mechanically-adjustable variable-speed gearmotors may be further extended through the use of multi-speed motors.
A typical keyed hollow shaft is made from carbon steel and is likely to corrode to a customer's solid shaft. In time, an attempt to separate the two shafts may prove to be impossible. In contrast, TorqLOC Requires No Key and should remain corrosion free, even after years of service. It contacts the customer's solid shaft in only two places - at the support bushing and at the torque bushing.
The support bushing is bronze and will not corrode to steel due to the nature of dissimilar metals. The torque bushing is either electro less nickel-plated 1045 carbon steel or stainless steel - neither of which corrode to carbon steel. Furthermore, the high clamping forces located at the torque bushing prohibit the presence of oxygen so oxidation (rust) cannot occur.

Wow, those look great! What size are they? I've heard good things about chillypalmtrees, I'm glad to see it now too! -Alex |
Very nice looking trachies. One of my sabal Birminghams came from them. It has been very hardy for me. I always recomend a N.C. grower. |
Looks great, i'm going to check their website out. |
Bronxboy- May I ask how long after you ordered them that they arrived? |
Looking good. Where in the Bronx are you located? Country Club? I attended Fordham and miss the Bronx. |

Hey Guys, Sorry it took so long for me to respond to everyone. Having computer problems. Using my 7 years old laptop. AndyAndy from what i understand, Sean from Chillypalms does a March run up north once a year. I pre ordered them about 2 weeks before he left for his trip (deliveries). He already had his trip planned out to make deliveries. He squezzed me in his itinary.Thank god i did. I was very happy with the palms i recieved. Alex the trachys are about 3 foot of trunk with huge canaopies, delivered in 30 gallon pots. I was not expecting them to be so big. I heard they have a better chance of survival when there planted bigger? At least i hope! Jacklord, i am located on City Island, a tiny island off the northeast Bronx. Country Club is across the bay from me. Lets hope spring weather comes soon. Im watching my newly planted trachys get snowed on as i type!! Kinda getting a little worried, since i just planted them a week ago. Theres nothing i can do now, just pray that the weather breaks soon. I called Sean from Chillypalms and he told me to just leave them alone. Anyway it would be to much work to protect them temporarily. Im sure its going to be fun building shelters for them next winter. o well good luck to all |
Sure I know City Island very well. Great place- Sammys, the Reef, etc. Sean did a delivery to my house in Maryland a couple of years ago and I was not disapointed. |

The group started their final day at Yad Lekashish, a non-profit based in Jerusalem that provides employment and social services to over 300 elderly artisans. Then, they went for a final and emotional visit at the Kotel. From there, they went to Machane Yehuda open market to buy last minute goodies. They headed back to base to pack and prepare for their final banquet dinner. This evening, they shared memories of everything they have done and accomplished on their incredible journey this summer. At the end of their night, they loaded the buses and headed to the airport. It was a sad goodbye but we know that Group 3 had a fantastic summer and we look forward to them returning to Israel soon!

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
We've heard a lot about listening over the past several years as marketers have sought to make the most of the social web. But are we really listening? Former President Calvin Coolidge once remarked that, "No one ever listened themselves out of a job." Customer feedback today is easier than ever to come by, and experts and observers have encouraged companies to engage in a real dialogue with customers instead of just talking customers' ears off. As Umair Haque of the Havas Media Lab wrote back in 2008, "listening beats talking." Companies claimed to have gotten the message, unveiling elaborate listening programs, such as Starbucks' mystarbucksidea website. More recently, the Wall Street Journal has taken note that business "are listening" to customer reviews and other feedback on sites like Yelp, City Search, and Urban Spoon.

Daybreak: Clinton Demands Pressure on Syria
Plus, IDF wants U.S. equipment, no matzah for Rikers inmate, and more in the news
• U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for international pressure on Syrian president Bashar Assad, urging other countries to speak out against the Syrian regime. [JPost]
• The housing protests in Israel are now addressing disparate wealth distribution in the country, drawing attention to influential Israeli families who control a large sector of the economy. [NYT]
• The IDF is reportedly in talks with the Pentagon to buy equipment that will be retired after a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, specifically Humvee combat vehicles. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are two other likely recipients of U.S. equipment. [JPost]
• A federal court ruled that an inmate at Rikers Island does not have the right to be served matzah and grape juice, daily, while imprisoned for first-degree sodomy. [Jewish Journal]
• Citing a loss of funding and questions of necessity, the Jewish Theater San Francisco, better known as A Traveling Jewish Theater, will close after 35th seasons. [SF Chronicle]
• The graduate school of Jewish studies at Yeshiva University will award its first doctorate in Talmud to a woman. Shana Strauch Schick will graduate in September. [JTA]

Musically, it was a summer to remember in Rhode Island. The Newport Folk Festival sold out months in advance, while the Newport Jazz Festival had one of its best outings in years, led by the ageless saxophonist Wayne Shorter and the twenty-something crossover sensation Esperanza Spalding.
Fittingly, the fall music season kicks off with two shows that carry on that musical mojo.
On Saturday, The Met hosts the second annual "Dudesmash," a multi-band mash-up that includes performances by local faves Deer Tick, The Low Anthem and Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons. The event, which also features Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jonny Fritz and local garage-rock specialists Ravi Shavi, is similar to an all-Rhode Island musical revue The Low Anthem organized at this year's Newport Folk Festival.
A week later, on Saturday, Sept. 21, the pioneering Celtic music group Pendragon is holding a 30th anniversary party at the Blackstone River Theatre in Cumberland. As any Pendragon fan can tell you, the group's performances are always celebratory affairs, filled with plenty of singing, clapping and foot stomping. Still, this one should be one for the ages. If you love great Celtic music — and who doesn't? — you won't want to miss it.
As usual, you'll find some of the season's biggest names at area casinos.
The MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods, for example, welcomes R&B legend Lionel Richie on Sunday, Sept. 22, followed by jazz-pop pioneers Steely Dan on Saturday, Sept. 28. Mohegan Sun, meanwhile, is serving up a double shot of pop nostalgia, hosting America tonight, followed by Gary Puckett this Sunday. Other highlights include the cult alt-folk band The Lone Bellow on Friday, Sept. 27, and Latin pop sensation Selena Gomez on Saturday, Oct. 19.
Some of the area's smaller venues will also be busy.
In Fall River, the Narrows Center for the Arts has something for just about everyone, beginning with the country pop of Carlene Carter (yep, she's Johnny Cash's stepdaughter) and Eddie Money on Wednesday, Sept. 18, and Thursday, Sept. 26, respectively. Then it's on to blues singer Shemekia Copeland on Oct. 5, former Traffic guitarist Dave Mason on Oct. 8 and acoustic guitar whiz Leo Kottke on Oct. 25.
In Providence, the Veterans Memorial Auditorium is hosting an oldies evening on Oct. 12, with doo-wop legend Gene "Duke of Earl" Chandler headlining a show that also features former members of The Drifters, The Vogues and The Crests. For more contemporary tastes, Lupo's has Chicago rapper Chief Keef on Friday, Sept. 27, alt-rock pioneers They Might Be Giants on Thursday, Oct. 10, and the sci-fi concept band Coheed and Cambria on Friday, Oct. 18.
Other concerts of note include Graham Nash at Boston's Wilbur Theatre (Sept. 18), Blondie at the Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford (Oct. 8), former Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson at Boston's Wang Theatre (Oct. 12) and back-to-back helpings of Phish (Oct. 25-26) at the DCU Center in Worcester.

Greece Resident, MCC Professor Receives National Award for Teaching Excellence (01/09/2013)
Artist, Monroe Community College professor, Yankees fan and jazz lover Kathleen Farrell (Greece) was recently named an inaugural recipient of the John & Suanne Roueche Excellence Award. The award is given by the League for Innovation in the Community College in recognition of her leadership and teaching. "I've always looked at the gallery as a teaching space," she said. "This is a place where our students can see the art – for many of them this is the first time they've actually stood in front of a painting or sculpture. But beyond that, they often get to meet the exhibiting artists. They have an opportunity to speak with them, to ask questions and, hopefully, to discover something about their own creative potential. That's huge." According to Farrell, coaxing her students out of their comfort zone is simply part of her role as a teacher. "For years, I've taken a group of students to New York City to visit the art museums and experience the diversity there. I've taken students to London, Montreal, Spain, Italy and Paris, too," she said. "And I tell them, go, explore, it's a huge and interesting world out there so soak it up, have at it." The John & Suanne Roueche Excellence Award is the most recent of several honors Farrell has earned throughout her MCC career. In 1996, she was awarded the prestigious State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service. In 2001 she received the NISOD Excellence Award for Teaching. In 2002, she was the recipient of the State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Scholarship and Creative Activities. When asked what makes her good at what she does, Farrell responded with a grin. "I love my job," she said. "There's no substitute for that."
