100% Polyester
December 16, 2014
Good jacket for biking, much cheaper than other available products.
I havent really tested it in any really bad weather yet. but im confident from its apparent quality and features it will keep me dry and warm.
December 01, 2014
An apparently well specified jacket with adjusters, vents and reflectives. a more casual rather than sport specific fit. good blue colour - avoiding the current "fashion" of either hi vis or black. i cannot give 5 stars as i haven't worn it in action yet!
November 24, 2014
On the plus side it is a nice, well designed jacket, great fit and comfortable (i am 5' 7" and 10.5 stone and the medium is perfect) and the reflective print and piping are brilliant. however tried it for the first time this week on the bike and it was not particularly breathable, especially in the arms, even with the zipped vents open and little layering underneath. also this evening it was raining quite heavily (although not exactly pouring) and when i got home after cycling in it for just over half an hour the jacket was wet inside. this is the second time i rode in the rain and i was soaked both times. *update* took the jacket to my local store and it was acknowledged that the jacket was wet, hats off to the staff as a full refund was given due to my size not being available for a replacement. now, do i take a chance on ordering another one!?
November 17, 2014
Great jacket for the value and beyond, bought as a gift for a gentleman who is extremely hard on things, so far so good, he loves it, rain, wind etc has performed exceptional

Gear Review
Nice pack. Lots of room. Can fit a laptop and some books if your not on the mtn. Two complaints... 1.No pocket for your hydration bladder so it has to be in the main pocket, if you dont have a sleeve, your vinyl bladder WILL get poked and popped. 2.There is no fleece lined goggle/mp3 pocket. The pocket is there, but NO FLEECE, even though the ad says there is. (Liars!) Note: I got tiger stripe camo, the inside is orange.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Mary Taylor (previously Gibbs) is a fictional character from the British soap opera, Coronation Street played by Patti Clare, who made her first onscreen appearance on 26 November 2008 and departed on 15 May 2009 but returned in March 2010 and has appeared on the show ever since.[1] The character of Mary was originally a guest character who appeared in November 2008, as a love interest for Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden). The character proved popular and was brought back in 2009 for another short stint.[2] She was brought back full-time in 2010.
Mary was bullied at school by a girl named Tracy O'Connor. She was physically and mentally bullied, with Tracy chanting, "Hairy Mary, Fat and Scary" while holding Mary by her hair. This left Mary emotionally scarred for life, as she regularly explains to the residents of Coronation Street about her bullying days. Her mother, Maureen, brought Mary up unusually, telling her always to have fish suppers on the last Friday of every month.
In 2008, Mary begins to visit Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) regularly after initially being his rival in a series of competitions. Norris's fellow lodger, Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope), enjoys flirting with her, but Mary only has eyes for Norris. Norris invites her to his home for Christmas. Near the end of January 2009, Mary returns, telling Norris they have won a motor home. Norris is pleased, but begins to be concerned about how far she wants to take their relationship. On 13 February, in the Rovers, they say an awkward goodbye to each other, Mary is expecting a kiss or a hug from Norris, but gets nothing, leaving her devastated.
In March, she returns and she asks Norris if he would like to go travelling. This leaves his friends Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) and Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) unsure how they'd feel if he left. In April, Mary tells Norris that her mother has died but she admits that she feels a sense of relief as she had been a very domineering woman. On 15 May, she and Norris say goodbye, as she sets off to travel around the world. She drives off in the motor home, but not before promising to keep in touch with Norris via postcards.
Norris begins doing competitions with Emily's niece Freda (Ali Briggs), and they both win £1,000. They get a picture taken before splitting the money and Freda leaves the street. However, Mary reads it and returns to Weatherfield and surprises Norris. After briefly meeting him, she goes up to Scotland, but returns a few days later. When Norris begins getting tired and needing a break, Mary suggests that she does some work in The Kabin so he can take a break. Mary enters a competition for them and if they win, they would win a week at a cottage in the countryside. She manages to win it and persuades Norris to attend, which he agrees to. Norris is delighted when Rita returns to Weatherfield and offers her a job at The Kabin. She volunteers to look after the shop when he goes away with Mary. During a night at the cottage, Norris thinks that she is trying to ensure that he cannot escape, like Paul in the Stephen King novel Misery. He even witnesses Mary saying that the two of them are married - a horrific thought for Norris. He becomes even more scared of Mary's antics when he hears her talking to her "dead" mother who it later transpires is alive. Norris then calls the police and Mary is taken to the station for holding Norris against his will. However, just when Norris thinks he has evaded Mary, she is released from the police station and returns to Weatherfield to try to make amends with Norris who wants nothing more to do with her. She also has made several attempts to try to talk to Norris since the event but he refuses to listen.
On 10 May 2010, she attends Blanche Hunt's (Maggie Jones) funeral and also tries to talk to Norris. However, he leaves to go to The Kabin. On 31 May, she turns up at Gail Platt's (Helen Worth) trial for the murder of Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale), and sits behind Norris in the court and again tries to talk to him. Mary and Norris quickly begin gossiping about the trial and are present for the duration, much to the annoyance of the Platts and Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan). On the day of the verdict she bets Norris £5 that Gail would be found guilty. She then forms a friendship with Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) and offers her assistance with the preparations for her forthcoming marriage to Roy Cropper (David Neilson). Mary quickly begins to hijack the situation - picking very expensive venues and dresses. Hayley tries to tell her to back down but finds it very difficult, much to Roy's annoyance. On 30 August, Mary, upset at not being invited to Roy and Hayley's wedding, unbuckles the bolt keeping Hayley's carriage on the steam train that they were travelling to the church in. Later, Mary's motor home was stolen, and she launches her own investigation, believing Gary Windass (Mikey North) is responsible. Kylie Turner (Paula Lane) turns out to be the one responsible for the theft but the motor home is returned the following morning to Mary's delight.
Realising there is no possible romance with Norris, in the summer of 2012, Mary begins playing chess with Roy but her feelings run deeper than the game. She develops feelings for him but he does not notice. Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) does and she warns Mary to stay away from Roy. However Mary later realises that Roy deeply and truly loves Hayley and so Mary decides to stop pursuing Roy. When Mary sends Roy and Hayley away on a holiday, she manages the café. Mary attempts to get more customers in by doing a Spanish-themed evening, which is a success. As Mary starts doing more themed nights, this angers Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), Gail Platt (Helen Worth), David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) as they lose customers at their Bistro. When Kylie calls Mary a 'greasy spoon', she decides to do her themed nights daily which angers Anna. When Mary decides to do seating upstairs in Roy and Hayley's flat, Anna walks out on her, so Mary employs Norris for 'French Night'. As Mary bosses Norris around, he mocks her and walks out on Mary, much to the delight of David and Kylie.
After Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati) dies suddenly, Mary helps out at the Alahan household by babysitting Sunita's children, Aadi (Zennon Ditchett) and Asha (Tanisha Gorey). Mary also helps Sunita's husband Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) through grief and the children take a shine to her. Mary also helps out when Norris' lodger Emily falls off a ladder and badly injures her leg. Mary catches Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) stealing from Dev's corner shop and stops her with the aid of Dev's colleague and friend, Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent). Mary cooks her some noodles and tries to get Faye to talk, but she leaves the shop quickly. In November 2013, Faye and her friend Grace Piper (Ella-Grace Gregoire) plot revenge on Mary after she lectures them about not eating enough fruit and vegetables. Faye and Grace then start throwing stones at Mary's motorhome, so she confides in Norris and Emily. The trio catch Grace and Faye graffiting on the motorhome, so Grace runs off, and Faye is caught. Faye's guardian Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) apologises to Mary, so she confides in him about the days when she enduring both physical and mental bullying from children at school. She then orders for an apology from Faye.
Mary is upset in January 2014 when she learns that Hayley has died. She tries to help Hayley's husband, Roy, through grief and attends Hayley's funeral. When Roy disappears, Mary helps Anna and Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) find him. On the day of Tina's funeral in June 2014, Mary decides to help Roy out at the café and they play a game of chess. She also helps Roy re-plant Tina's memorial flowers opposite the café. Tracy Barlow later starts making remarks at Norris and Mary then Norris tells Tracy how Rob kissed Tina. Tracy is later distraught with Rob. Mary begins to become jealous of Dev Alahan's and Julie Carp's growing relationship and tries every way to stop them getting closer. Mary is worried that she will not be in the children's lives if Julie and Dev form a relationship. Dev tells her that he doesn't like Julie and that she will always be part of the children's lives.
Creation and development[edit]
The character was introduced for a specific storyline as both herself and Norris have an obsession with entering competitions. Mary lives with and takes care of her disabled mother and uses the competitions as a way to enjoy life. Norris initially resents Mary, as she often beats him in competitions, but when they meet, they quickly become close, and Mary offers Norris one of the tickets she has won for a Cliff Richard concert.
In May 2009, it was reported that Mary had been axed form Coronation Street due to cost cuts but executives have denied reports that characters have been axed from the show in order to cut back on costs. Corrie producers this afternoon insisted that the departing characters were only ever intended to remain with the show for the duration of their ongoing storylines, which all happen to come to an end within the next few weeks. A show spokesperson said: "The affected actors were all involved in storylines that were due to run for a finite time. If every new character stayed in the show, the Street would be a little crowded to say the least."[3] In September 2009, it was announced Patti Clare was to reprise her role as Mary Taylor. A spokesperson confirmed: "Mary will be back to rekindle her relationship with Norris."[2]
Storyline development[edit]
Malcolm Hebden (Norris Cole) said in an interview with the soap's official website, the star claimed that his friendship with Clare makes it easier to create chemistry and humorous moments when they film scenes together. Hebden commented, "I think when Patti and I get together it's comedy all the way. We love working together which is a good start for comedy. Oddly enough, you can play a love relationship with someone you hate - I've done it - but comedy you can't do. So I love her to death and it helps with the comedy."[4]
Pattie Clare revealed that she was obsessed with joining the cast of Coronation Street. She said, "I used to write and write to the casting director asking for a job and he'd write back saying, 'Nothing doing at the moment'. I could really see myself in Corrie and was very persistent." She confessed that she had been so desperate to land a role that she had created a new character and written a scene for her. "So I wrote him a scene making up a character for myself called Cherise, who was to be Raquel's half-sister," she said. "She sat in the bar and didn't say anything and wore glasses and was quite dowdy and then Raquel gives her a make-over. I thought it was brilliant, but he wrote back and said, 'No, no, no, no, no, it's not going to happen'." "I had a lot of theatre experience, but I'd wanted to go into television for a while. I was told I had to take a gamble for a year and turn theatre work down and sit it out," she explained. "It was terrible. I didn't do any acting for nine months so I worked in an office and the job came in the September."[5]
For her portrayal of Mary, Clare was nominated for Funniest Performance at the 2010 and 2011 Inside Soap Awards.[6] She lost out to Tameka Empson who plays Kim Fox in EastEnders in 2011[7] Clare won Best Comedy Performance at the British Soap Awards in 2011.[8] Of Mary, the Daily Mail's Jaci Stephen stated "Every time she opens her mouth, a gem pours forth. The writers do a great job with this character, but it is also Patti Clare's exquisite delivery that induces side-splitting hilarity – and, brilliantly, hilarity laced with a sense of the sinister."[9]

Beneteau USA celebrates recent successes
Posted onBeneteau USA marked recent production success and improving sales by holding a Family Fun Day over the weekend.
"It has been several years since we hosted an event like this," said Jennifer Reinman, Beneteau USA's human resources director, in a statement. "And as we are on an upward trend, we decided it was important that we illustrate our commitment to our employees-first-culture. Over 400 attended, and a very good time was had by all."
"We have gotten through some challenging times and we would not have been able to succeed without our incredible team's hard work," president Wayne Burdick added in a statement. "Their efforts continue to amaze us, such as with the complete transformation of this 25-year-old factory into a modern, world-class, continuous-flow, single-line, lean manufacturing facility."
Beneteau USA, the American division of the world's largest sailboat manufacturer, builds hundreds of 31- to 50-foot production sailboats in Marion, S.C., and imports sailing and power yachts up to 58 feet in length from its parent company in France.

When it comes to the firearms industry, SecureIt Tactical has been on the cutting edge for some time now. Only most of the time the company has been out of the limelight.
That has a tendency to happen when you produce weapons storage platforms and not the weapons themselves. But the New York-based company has made its share of waves with its products and armory designs, which are used by militaries and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Recently, however, SecureIt Tactical has moved into the civilian market offering inventive solutions to shooters of every stripe. And its latest gun lockup appears to have plenty going for it.
Superficially, the MILSPEC Safe doesn't appear to be much more than just another gun vault. But upon opening the door, shooters are met with a much different system for storing their firearms. A system that appears much more logical and organized than many presently available.
What makes the MILSPEC Safe ingenious is SecureIt Tactical's patented saddle system. The modular system allows the safe's interior to be modified to match the firearms it stores.
With the system, a shotgun with a 30-inch barrel can be snugly secured right next to an AR carbine with a 16-inch barrel. As a bonus, the safe comes with storage bins for ammunition or shooting accessories.
The flexibility of the system is only matched by the convenience the vault offers. The MILSPEC Safe is designed for straight-line access to the firearms. This means, even if the safe is filled to capacity – 12 firearms – each gun is accessible without having to move another.
This feature might be worth the price of admission alone, for anyone who's had to empty a traditional gun safe just to get to a firearm in the very back.
There is also an added layer of protection for optics with the way the safe is laid out. Scopes and optics never come in contact with each other, other guns or the walls of the safe, ensuring they retain their zeros.
Some of the safe's other features include: Two adjustable shelves, door panel for handgun/accessory storage, 45-minute fireproof rating, auto LED lights, 10,000-plus combination electronic lock.
The MILSPEC Safe is 55 ¾-inches high, 36 ½-inches wide and 18-inches deep. It weighs 935 pounds. It's MSRP is $2,600.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
For the record on the supertuck. You need to wear it every day for a week or two for the leather to mold. Once it does the feeling of it being like a "frypan" will disappear. It might be comfortable now, but just wait until the leather is worn in to both your firearm and figure/body shape. Pretty much all leather is this way. It feels real stiff and rigid. Kind of makes you want to shift it around etc. Once it's worn in though forget all that. I know that sometimes I almost feel naked without my holster because it's that comfy and familiar to me.
I prefer IWB, but I'm not female. I can definitely see OWB being a better option for female CCW holders (those who want a holster and not off body). However, my issue with OWB and it might just be me is that the holster itself can poke out below your clothing(t-shirt or whatever cover you're using during the spring and summer). I've noticed it when I've reached up to grab something. IWB that is impossible because the length of the barrel and holster covering that area is inside the pant line. It's something I'd have to be conscious of if I were to go OWB.
To the OP it seems that you've done your homework and I commend you on that. Most times people are afraid to search out information on their own and simply ask "what's best for me?" As you have no doubt seen, there is no answer for that.
One thing to note though is do not be afraid to check for a used holster on forums. I don't know if there would be one for your firearm, but it's worth a look around anyway. Sometimes you can find a $100 holster for half that, just someone with a drawer and some unused gear. Something else to think about, if your proposed carry gun is something somewhat common (Glock, 1911 of some sort, M&P, XD, Sig etc) you might be able to recoup your investment on the holster if it doesn't work for you. Many times there's someone out there looking for a holster and doesn't want to wait. If you can provide a holster that normally takes a few weeks or more to get they might just want in on it.

Yes I kinda figured as much. However, I don't have my plastic yet so I can't be carrying 24/7 just right now. It does look and feel good, so I'm not calling it a "failure" yet. I think it'll be nice once it's broken in. It will also help as my new belt breaks in a bit too. New leather smells nice, but it's kindof stiff for wearing.

Are there any ladies out there bigger than 150 lbs? I have a few more curves than these ladies in the pictures and still can't find a holster. The belt has so be snug on my galco or the grip sticks out, which makes for a 'muffin top'...
i'd like to know what worked for a not-so-petite woman.
Ritestuff-- you've probably already checked out Cornered Cat's site (I know I found lots of useful information there for ladies)--but if not, here's a link to topics about curvy ladies, different types of holster placement, etc. If you haven't read through this yet--it will give you a good starting place.
In youth we learn; in age we understand. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach
Check out the video on the Fist (lady fist holsters).. As stated in the video the maker would first like to talk over your individual needs and then make the rig for you. Good quality holsters with fair prices and acceptable turn around time.
I doubt that there's any law forbidding the wearing of an empty holster. That would allow the leather to break in while you await your permit. Plus, you can carry the gun in it strictly at home in the meantime.
But just for the record, I have a SuperTuck and it's not one of my favorites, either. I prefer the single-clip High Noons.
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
Cornered Cat was the first place i looked. It's informative (and i did learn a ton!), but there is little on advice out there other than 'try it'. I'd like to hear how other women carry. On my hip IWB, the gun still prints through my loose clothes. I have gone to layering, but other than completely new shirts I'd like a little advice. Most the gals i've seen posting picture are all size 6 or smaller. I just have different issues. And i've tried moving it from 2:00 all the way to 5:00 just to find a good spot. I like 4:00 best. I think my holster just doesn't keep it close enough.
I am waiting on a crossbread tho. we'll see how that goes.
I carry my P3at in a Desantis Nemisis holster in my back pocket. It prints a bit in the front. But looks like a wallet in the back pocket. Also works in cargo pockets. There are other good pocket holsters out there too. FWIW, my wife hates that gun and refuses to think about carrying it. lol

Although I am a Male, This discussion & others like it, FOCUSED on Our Female members is GREAT.
I think that We should have a a SEPARATE SECTION for the LADIES.
I am a Firearm Instructor ( for over 45 years - Mil., LEO, NRA etc,) & during that time I have "discovered" many things when it comes to Females & Their requirements in respect to "packing".
1. Woman are the best "students" to work with.
2. They ARE NOT MEN. What works for us "guys", often does not work for the Ladies.
b. Position of carry
c, The guns
d. Grips
e. ETC, ETC
When ever I see a Good discussion, like this one, I read it with interest & TAKE NOTES. I can not say how often this has HELPED me be a better Instructor, but since I train other Instructors, I has assisted them.
WE NEED a "LADIES SECTION."
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but Monica Kuehn makes some nice custom leather, and considering that she's a female, she probably has some insight to the female form that may help you.
I've not purchased her products, but the feedback I've seen has been very positive.

I'm starting to think that the Supertuck isn't going to work for me. With the clips spaced the way they are, one ends up just to the right of my spine and it's a pain in the you know where when sitting, especially in the car. I'm getting this thing broken in and it's molding to me somewhat, but when I get home from a trip in the car my first thought is "lets get inside and get this thing OFF!" . . . . I know it's not supposed to be comfortable like your favorite PJ's but I don't think this is gonna work out.
And I just had to spend my extra $$ on a new truck battery. Ugh.

Hmm...have you tried moving it to a different position?
For what it's worth, no holster is particularly comfy in the car for me (it's tolerable though) except a shoulder rig. I will admit that my Pure Kustom is pretty good compared to some others, but it's still a bit annoying at times.

so, basically, the rewards r awesome, but we gotta take our previous top rating and take it to where sun doesnt shine?
Junior Member
this is for Lvl 30? like im at sliver right now n lvl 10 does that count? for takedowns n wins
Played in All Queues: achieved a tier in 5v5 solo, 5v5 team, and 3v3 team Special summoner icon based on the lowest tier achieved in the three queues does this mean whenever your solo elo is gold and team elo is bronze you get the bronze icon?
THB Beetle
Does anyone know if the elo reset to highest rating is only for solo queue or is it for solo queue, and team 3v3 and 5v5??
Also another point I want to bring up is giving kids rewards for 3's and 5's. If what I think is true, then I lost any competitive desire I felt for this game. Say I'm at best a silver rated player. I hop on a 3's or 5's team and they are all Diamond/Plat players. I play 5 games and then I get all the perks once they sub me out and just play with their "core" pro players and achieve Diamond or Plat rating. What kind of **** is that? It's great that you want to give every player something at every tier, but this is a ridiculously easy way to exploit the system and it irks me more than anything to see some **** player get the same reward as me when they have no place getting it. The kids who play this game casually and only get a bronze/silver rating at best shouldn't complain about receiving rewards as well. If you care that much about the game, you can spend more time learning how to improve (watch streams, practice cs'ing, map awareness, warding, etc.) If you watch or read anything that the pro's post, they all agree that the elo system is fine. Everyone eventually levels out into an elo range that they should be in.
between NOW and end of season? so the ratings I got up to before a few months ago dont count?
Sweet olready gold now i can be lazy... Yeah!!
If you have gold, gold bronze, you're still bronze?


text: 1.0 Harmonics in a Transformer Feeder: Harmonics will appear in a transformer at following events : a) Whenever a transformer is energised, there would be a high level of 2nd harmonics in the current drawn by the transformer - due to very high inrush current for magnetisation. This will create a differential current of the order of 15%. b) Whenever a transformer is over excited (very high V/F ratio), the proportion of 5th harmonics will reach highr levels than what it was at the time of energisation. This can be equivalent to a differential current of greater than 30% .. These harmonic currents will be on the primary side only -creating a condition as though there is a differential fault. A transformer differential relay should have a facility whereby it will ignore a fault condition created due to presence of harmonics under above conditions (ie) the relay should be restrained from tripping when the current wave form has harmonics due to either energisation or over excitation. Following paragraphs describe the features provided in a transformer differential relay MD32-T to manage the effects of harminics in a transformer feeder. 1.1 2nd Harmonic restraint level 2H( 10% to 30%): The relay will measure the 2nd harmonic content and compare with the set point 2H. As long as the 2nd harmonics level in the current is more than the set value 2H, it will be considered as an event related to trasformer switch on, and the operation of the relay is restrained. Consequently the relay will not trip during transformer switch on, even if harmonics are present. 1.2 5th Harmonic restraint level 5H (20 % to 40%): A transformer will reach an over excitation level under following conditions: a) when the load is thrown off suddenly (the primary voltage will rise resulting in a temporary over voltage condition) b) when the frequency goes down Under either of the above conditions, the 5th harmonic level will increase beyond 30% of total differential current. It should be noted that both above conditions are external to the transformer and the differential relay should not trip. The relay will measure the 5th harmonic content and compare with the set point 5H. As long as the 5th harmonics level in the current is more than the set value 5H, it will be considered as an event related to over excitation , and the operation of the relay is restrained. Consequently the relay will not trip during over excitation of transformer , even if harmonics are present. 2.0 For a differential relay protecting a normal transformer feeder, the above two features are adequate to prevent mal-operation of relay due to presence of harmonics during charging and over excitation. It should be noted that , while harmonic restraint is very important to avoid spurious tripping of transformer during energisation, it can not be always set at a very low value - say 8% . There can be cases where a high level of harmonics (20 % to 30%) can be present even during reagular operation of the transformer - like a thyrister load or a furnace transformer or when the transformer is exporting power etc. In such cases, it may be required to increse the restraint levels 2H and 5H to say 30%. Only then the relay would be restrained from tripping during normal operation even though the harmonics are high . At the same time the relay will trip on actual fault - since the differential current at actual fault will be predominantly of fundamental frequency and as a percentage , the harmonics will be less than 10%. On the other hand if 2H and 5H are set at 30%, there is a danger that the relay will trip whenever the transformer is energised - since the harmonic levels will be around 15%. MD32-T has following additional settings tH, R2H and R5H to take care of above complications (ie) a feeder where harmonis are very high under normal operating conditions. 2.1 Harmonic restraint level reduction time tH: We can set a time tH in MD32-T relay from 0.05 to 99 sec. We can connect an auxiliary contact of the breaker to terminals 1 & 3 of the relay. Time delay tH will start from the instant the contact closes at 1&3. During this time we can reduce the actual restarint levels 2H and 5H by a factor . This would mean that, for the duration tH from the contact closure, the levels of 2H and 5H will be automatically reduced. 2.2 2nd harmonic restraint level reduction during tH (R2H): This is a factor by which the restraint level 2H will be automatically reduced for a period tH. This factor can be set from (0.5 to 1)2H in MD32-T. 2.3 5th harmonic restraint level reduction during tH (R5H): This is a factor by which the restraint level 5H will be automatically reduced for a period tH. This factor can be set from (0.5 to 1)5H in MD32-T. By the above three additional settings following are achieved: a) a higher level can be set for harmonic restraint . This will ensure that there is no restraint and the relay will trip on actual fault in a transformer feeder with high harmonic levels under normal operating conditions. b) Once a high level of restraint is set for normal operation, the tripping of relay at the time of transformer energisation , due to 2nd harmonics and 5th harmonics can be avoided, by automatic reduction of restraint levels R2H and R5H for a period tH

Concepts Teases A Bloody Asics Collab by Patrick Johnson 1 Comments
March 20, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 2
It looks like CNCPTS is teaming up with Vans Syndicate for an upcoming release. The project has been teased out in a fashion consistent with their most recent work in the collab realm, as a nebulous image and a release date are all that there is to draw from at this point. However you'll notice that a neon sign style graphic is used once again, so we wouldn't be surprised if they are heading back to the Porky's theme from their recent Nike SB Dunk High release. Check out another image of teaser after the jump and stay tuned for more on the CNCPTS x Vans Syndicate project, which will release on March 30th, 2013.

Drive With Google Glass: Get a Ticket
Re:inb4 (638 comments)
But, it seems that a low of people are arguing that Glass should be illegal to wear while driving. Is it better to have to look down at your dash to view your navigation than to have it displayed in the corner of your vision? Or, is the argument that it CAN be used improperly (watching youtube, facebook, etc.) so it should be illegal? If that is the argument, then we should ban all guns because they can be used improperly (to kill innocent people).

Just WHAT is in this stuff?!
I've used many different makeup removers over the years with no issues, but this one, I don't even know what happened. On contact, my eye immediately stung like no tomorrow, turned bright red, and began to swell a little. It was so strange and disconcerting. I have never had an allergic reaction to pretty much anything---skincare product, makeup product, you name it, I'm usually totally fine.
This is marketed as being similar to the Neutrogena Oil-free, which I have used many times before, and although it may be a similar idea, the Neutrogena version NEVER gave me a bad reaction like this did. I thought I would save a couple bucks getting this version instead, but I instantly regretted it, because now I have to pour all of this down the drain. Major disappointment.
FYI: this review is for the remover with the lavender-coloured cap that is marketed as the "waterproof eye makeup remover." Retails for around $6 CAD at Target.

Love this! Not sure why people complain about the oiliness. I always wash my face right after, or wipe with a makeup remover wipe (I love up&up's sensitive skin wipes comparable to Simple), and the residue is gone. Removes makeup with minimal effort/rubbing. Will repurchase.

This review is for the Up & Up eye makeup remover with the lavender cap that is marketed as being comparable to Neutrogena. I bought this trying to save $1. It says on the bottle "OIL FREE" (I keep looking at it to see) but what is in the bottle is LIKE BABY OIL. It does remove eye makeup fairly well, but I cannot stand the feeling of oil on my eyelids! It's definitely oily--when I got some on my hands and tried to wash it off, the water just beaded up. I am at a loss whether I got a freak bottle that was mis-labeled, or what.
Anyway, if you buy oil-free expecting it to be oil-free, watch out.

I have been using this makeup remover for years now. It's affordable and takes off all my eye makeup. The only complaint is that with really waterproof mascaras, it doesn't take it off completely. But I just use a makeup wipe to wipe off any remainder, after I take off my face makeup. It doesn't leave too much of a greasy or oily residue. For $5+tax I don't have too many complaints

This makeup remover is cheap and pretty gentle on my eyes, which I like. As for actually removing makeup, though? It's just OK. In order to get all my makeup off, I have to really soak the cotton pad and rub it across my lid a few times. It's worth noting that I do not wear waterproof eye makeup for the most part, the only waterproof stuff I wear are UD 24/7 liners. I doubt this remover would do much against waterproof mascara. This remover is oil free, but it leaves a slight greasy residue right after I use it. That is gone within a few minutes, and my eyelids actually feel a bit dry afterwards. Even though it's cheap, I doubt I'll buy this one again.
Also, most removers I've used have a press-down-and-turn style cap which is really secure. This one just has a plain old screw cap that doesn't feel too secure, I would not want to travel with it as I wouldn't trust it not to come open.

I purchased this as I generally like Target Up & Up products.
I was not wearing waterproof mascara but this product did not seem to do anything to remove it... I tried this on several different kinds of mascara- same thing, though, it was just oily on my face.
I honestly feel that my normal facial cleanser works better than this.
Wondering if I got some from a defective batch or something?

I LOVE this stuff. I have generally sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it at all. Just ONE swipe and the waterproof eyeliner along my waterline is completely gone. No stinging, burning, itching, irritation at all. Great price and a great product that I feel is overlooked because it's not "name brand." I also find that I have to use a lot less than my previous eye makeup remover (just one or two blots on a cotton pad. I wear a ton of eyeliner) because it works so well and don't have to rub my eye at all...this bottle is going to last me for months. Definitely a hidden gem.

loverofmineralmakeup already gave a great description of this palette and I love it as much as she does. I just wanted to include my pictures of the palette, open and closed, for further info. I got mine to use for Chantecaille shadows and couldn't be happier. The only negative I can possibly come up with is that I'd prefer not to have any logo on the outside of the palette, but it's really not a big deal to me. Just click continued for the pictures.

This is a wonderful empty palette and I purchased mine to I house my Nixie Mineral Eyeshadows. This is a very sturdy and sleek palette in silver metal (with a mirror) which reminds me of the Stila 6-well metal palette. Actually, this palette's wells holds 36mm refills and can hold large MAC & depotted HIP eyeshadows, is slightly larger than Stila's pan eyeshadows/blushes, and is the same size as the La Femme, Japonesque, Nixie Cosmteics, Ben Nye, Chantecaille, and Mirenesse eyeshadow/blush palettes. I think the best thing about this palette is the price it's a steal for $11.95, and that it has pin-size holes at the bottom of the palette so you can "push" the pans out of the palette (without damaging the products) if you need to organize and/or remove the pans.
If you are looking for a smaller palette (which is very cute), I would highly recommend this palette.

General Banter / Re: Penn valley
« on: February 15, 2014, 11:11:56 am »There are never enough courses.
Not crucifying rob, but are there too many playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts in KC metro? Not all folks want to drive to have a fitness opportunity, nor want to spend the time driving, so am not sure when there are too many courses as long they being visited and utilized, then they are a worth while entity. Mowing costs become an issue, but if a town only has one course then mowing should never be an issue. If they have several courses, I believe that shorter courses and 9 holers are a great way to go to and grow the sport ie Penn Valley Park(why not a 9 holer here?). These smaller courses are easier to maintain, more beginner friendly, and often will fit into an established park with all of their preexisting amenities. More courses in my opinion means more opportunities(for growth of sport and club.) due to proximity and ease of finding a course.
Printing professional looking flyers and signs off in color is a drop in the bucket for the reach and scope in the present and future. The issue is lack of space or no access on some of kiosks in town. I agree with Tracy about marketing and we need to be more obnoxious with our marketing and really get it out there. I would still like to see "KCFDC League tonight" signs during league. On those signs you could list out
1 history of club
2 what we do
3 and how to get involved etc
Our problems of too many courses is better than many towns who wish they had more than a couple places to play.

We are shopping for a microwave to put in our pantry. It will sit on a shelf behind closed doors so we just need a countertop one, not one that is built into the range. Does anybody have experience with the following brands of microwaves? Wolf We are interested in durability, how long they last. We like that Summit is made in USA. We like that the other two don't seem to be plastic crap. We don't want to end up with a junker microwave and would rather spend the money on quality, but it is hard to know what quality is these days without getting some first hand accounts, so please let me know. |

Wolf and Dacor are rebadged Samsungs. So they're Samsung innards with a fancy Wolf or Dacor door. Since this MW will be in a pantry there is no reason to spend double just for the badge. Just buy a Samsung for $100-150 or so (depending on what features and size you want). Microwaves nowadays are not made to last. That's why you shouldn't spend a lot on one. Expect about 3-5 years. The Panasonic Genius Prestige MWs are good too. Between a Samsung or Panasonic it is more about what features and controls layout you like better. For example, the Panasonic has a dial control which some people really prefer, while other people like Samsung's buttons better. Personal taste. As to Summit MWs, I am unfamiliar. But I am sceptical that they are made in USA. |

Shannon, I have a Samsung countertop microwave that I love. It was very inexpensive (less than $200) and has lasted for years and is still going strong. I wanted to replace it with a stainless steel version, but as far as I know, Samsung only makes over-the-range microwaves now. When you go to their website, that is all they show. I also haven't found any stores that sell Samsung countertop microwaves. |

OMG, meant to type SHARP MWs, not Samsung! I'm sorry for the error. |
Yup, nearly all MWs are made by Sharp, Panasonic, and GE. |
Yes, for something hiding in a pantry, I'd go cheap, $200 max, probably less. My Panasonic lasted 23 years (actually still works fine) before I remodeled. It cost about $119, and similar ones haven't gone up much, if any. I put in the ridiculously priced Sharp drawer in my remodel, but it was what fit into the kitchen design. |

Very helpful. Thanks so much guys. We will look into Sharp, Panasonic, or GE. I have always been a fan of Panasonic as a company, not sure why. Perhaps just nostalgia from my first VCR and cordless phone! My husband came up the Summit after searching online for made in USA. Supposedly they are made in Brooklyn. But, it is really hard to find any info about them at all. |

Summit as a company is a re-badger, not a manufacturer. Their fridges are made by vestfrost (Danish) and other companies, for example, so I really doubt they actually manufacture their microwaves. Their appliances mostly do have a pretty good reputation, though. |

text: Media YouTube *finally* releases a Roku app in time for the holidays Image Credit: Via Roku December 17, 2013 11:12 AM Tom Cheredar YouTube just dropped a holiday gift in Roku's channel store today with the long overdue release of its own YouTube Roku app. While Roku set-top boxes might have the most third-party apps from streaming media services, one thing that's always been absent was an official YouTube channel until now. Pretty much every other major video service (Hulu, Netflix, Vevo, Vudu, Amazon Prime, etc.) has been available on the device for at least a year, including other, less popular user-generated video sites like Vimeo and Dailymotion. The app itself offers Roku owners HD video streaming, access to all YouTube channel subscriptions after logging into a YouTube account, and probably most importantly, the "Send to TV" feature that lets you push whatever you're watching on your smartphone or tablet to your television screen. This feature is pretty much the main selling point of Google's ultra-cheap Chromecast device, too. I can't help but wonder if Google-owned YouTube intentionally held off on releasing a Roku app because of its parent company's plan to launch Chromecast, which took the world pretty much by surprise when it was announced this past summer. Roku is ultra popular and probably the first streaming media set-top box I'd recommend for people who aren't really tech savvy (like parents, for instance). Now Chromecast is easily in the same category. Regardless, the world now has a Roku YouTube app, which you can download today by visiting the Roku channel store.
