Joe Gibbs Driven high-viscosity lubricant (HVL) provides a tenacious, yet fluid film to protect reciprocating and rotating components during assembly and initial break-in. This non-foaming product mixes with the break-in oil and extends film thickness during the critical break-in process. It can be applied to engine bearings, piston skirts, gears, bushings, etc., and does not harden or cause parts to become "sticky." HVL can also be used as a chain lubricant to reduce friction and provides grease-like durability. Use HVL and consider it great insurance for your investment in time and parts.

HOME-BOUND: Marchesa will be absent from New York Fashion Week this September. That's because designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig will show their spring collection at London Fashion Week instead.
There is a reason for the onetime move — the English designers are marking their 10th year in business. "We had been speaking with the British Fashion Council," said Chapman. "We felt it was a good way to celebrate our anniversary." Added Craig: "It's a one-off celebration in London, and then we are back [in New York] in February."
The date and venue of the show are still being determined. "It will be a different experience," noted Chapman. "All our English friends and family can get an opportunity to celebrate with us."

Whether you're an expert photographer with a top quality camera, or just happy to snap away with your mobile, it doesn't take long to build up a big collection of digital photos. So why keep them to yourself? Install jAlbum and it'll help you build stunning web albums in just a few minutes, then you can share the results with friends and family just by sending them your album URL.
You'll need to create a Jalbum account first, but that only takes a moment, and there's nothing to pay. After that, simply drag and drop your favourite photos onto Jalbum. Choose your favourite skin in the "Skin and style" box, click Make jAlbum > Preview, and a browser window will open to show your album.
If you'd like to try another design, then close the window and select another skin. Otherwise, click Publish, and Jalbum will upload your photos to its web server. Again, it's very easy, no hassles over entering server names, passwords or anything else, you just sit back and watch the progress bar as it reports each file transferred.
Once your photos are online then Jalbum will give you a link that you can pass to friends, so they can also view your work. Web counters will show you which photos get the most attention, and visitors can even leave comments to let you know what they think of their favourite shots.
Note that since JAlbum 12, there's no ad-sponsered free version. It's now provided as a trial.
JAlbum 12.5 is a minor update, with these changes:
- Free update for all jAlbum 12 license holders
- Supports upcoming licenses with 12 months support & update plan
- Performance improvements to ftp uploader (less verbose communication)
- Deleting albums from ftp servers (not ours) is now faster due to use of multiple connections.
- Uploads to external ftp servers now kicks off faster. The initial delay when the UI was frozen has now been replaced by an instant dialogue with progress spinners and the ability to cancel.
- Built-in watchdog that triggers the generation of a "thread-dump.txt" file and attempts to unlock the UI if the UI ever hangs for more than 20 sec. (Disabled by default. Enable under Preferences->Advanced)
- Some improvements to the ftp4j ftp client library
- "Print selected" plugin improved to support multi line captions and also print videos and folders
- Developers: API change: AlbumObject.loadImage() now also loads images for videos (the representing image)
- Several languages updated. Thank you dear translators!

HTC Droid DNA
The Droid DNA is most known for its incredible screen. The device offers a 5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 (1080p) resolution, giving it a pixel density of 440ppi.

- Large, high-quality screen
- Breathtakingly-fast processor
- Reasonable price point
- Limited memory, and no expansion
- Slightly awkward ergonomics
- 1080P screen is overkill
- Puzzling lack of Office suite
Quick Take
The HTC Droid DNA is a sexy and high-powered device, but is inexplicably hamstrung by its limited memory.Read Our Full Review: HTC Droid DNA Review: Once and Future King?

A Hamilton woman has been indicted for the Valentine's Day shooting of a man she said turned violent minutes before he was shot in the face.
Pamela Dawson, 51, is now facing felonious assault and tampering with evidence charges for allegedly shooting Donald Knapp on Feb. 14 at her Campbell Avenue residence.
Assistant County Prosecutor Brad Burress said Dawson is charged with tampering for allegedly hiding the gun after the shooting.
Dawson remains free on bond. She is scheduled to be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. April 4 by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Keith Spaeth.
Dawson told the JournalNews shortly after the shooting that Knapp was a renter in her home and he turned violent minutes before the shooting by "manhandling" her during a trip to a pharmacy.
Knapp, 43, testified in Hamilton Municipal Court during a preliminary hearing that Dawson shot him for "no reason."
Knapp said at the hearing there was an argument in the vehicle and Dawson "got really upset. She told me to get out of the car."
He added Dawson grabbed his arm and pushed him, then he grabbed her arm to get the prescription back and "she (Dawson) rolled on the ground."
Dawson drove home and Knapp said it took him about 30 minutes to walk back to the Campbell Avenue residence.
Knapp said Dawson told him to get out of the house, so he went to the basement to retrieve a pair of overalls and his girlfriend's purse.
"She said I wasn't moving fast enough," Knapp said, adding he was more than willing to leave and would not have gone back into the house if he had known Dawson had a gun.
Dawson told the JournalNews she just meant to scare Knapp and she thought the first chamber of the gun was empty. She said she suffered injuries when Knapp locked her out of her vehicle, threw her to the ground and assaulted her.
Dawson faces two to eight years in prison if convicted of the charge against her.

Asia Coal-Australia thermal coal prices up over $127/tonne
PERTH Feb 2 (Reuters) - Australia's thermal coal prices, a benchmark for Asia, climbed to more than $127 a tonne week to date, supported by the ongoing impact of floods in Queensland state on coal supplies.
Thermal coal on the globalCOAL Newcastle index for the week to date was $127.88 per tonne on Tuesday, up from $124.44 a week earlier and up more than $5 from $122.98 on Friday.
"It's definitely very tight. The floods have had their impact, no doubt about it. It's tight on the ground and most people feel it," one trade source said.
"It seems to be tight everywhere - I don't think there are any coal-producing basins globally that are not tight and it's obviously reflected in the price," the source said.
With supplies scarce and the start of the Chinese New Year, however, traders said that actual deals done were few and far between.
"I'm not actually sure how much physical has been done out of there," a Sydney based trader said. "There aren't that many physical tonnes to be traded."
The market was also keeping a close eye on Cyclone Yasi, which was barreling toward Queensland's northern coast and expected to land on early Thursday.
Floods in Queensland have already caused about 5.5 million tonnes of Australian production to be lost, according to a Reuters poll conducted last week.
Although Queensland produces mostly coking coal used for steelmaking, it does produce some thermal coal and any more severe weather could cause further production losses and reduce supplies.
Xstrata has already shut its 6 million tonne per annum (mtpa) Collinsville mine, which produces both coking and thermal coal, ahead of the cyclone. The company is also considering shutting its Newlands mine, which produces 11 mtpa of thermal and coking coal for export.
Supplies from neighboring Indonesia are also expected to be restricted with some Indonesian coal traders have declared force majeure after a trade rule change, with around 60-70 vessels stuck in various ports and 3.5 million tonnes unable to be shipped.
The market will continue to monitor Cyclone Yasi and watch for impacts to both coal mines and infrastructure. Any further coal disruptions could spark another price rally in thermal coal.
In the wake of the Queensland floods, thermal coal prices climbed nearly 30 percent to over $140 per tonne in mid-January from about $110 per tonne at the beginning of the year.
With supplies tight, market players will be looking for Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese utilities to begin looking for supplies later on in the year.
Utilities in the three countries, all major importers of coal, have indicated that they are well supplied for the first quarter despite some disrupted supplies from Australia.
However, most have not been in the market for coal supplies for later on in the year.
"Utilities will get a bit of surprise when they come back into the market to procure coal for the second quarter because they will realize there is not a lot of coal left," another Sydney-based trader said. (Editing by Ed Lane)

An aviation official says a U.S. passenger airplane lost a medium-size access door over western Denmark last month.
A Danish civil accident investigation board official says no one was injured on the ground and the Boeing 757 plane landed safely at Copenhagen airport on November 19.
The New York to Copenhagen flight was descending when the pilots noticed something was wrong with the hydraulic systems. The official declined to identify the airline on Tuesday.
On the ground, technicians saw the 32-by-48-inch (80-120 centimeter) hydraulic bay access door was missing from the aircraft's body.
The 44-pound (20-kilogram) hatch was lost at an altitude of 11,000 feet (3,350 meters) above Holbaek, 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Copenhagen.

Consider this approach to draft out your company's online marketing strategy targeting the Chinese audience.
At the end of each year, it's normally the time to plan ahead for the following year's marketing plan. Every CMO (chief marketing officer) or online marketing manager, especially those that have newly joined a business with an e-commerce website or a B2B website would be required to draft out their brand's digital marketing strategy.
Step 1: Identify audience or potential customers for your brand
It's about connecting the brand (product or service) with the right customers. The CMO or online marketing manager may have been assigned a job to market a brand to the Chinese market, but it's important to identify the exact range of the brand's potential customers:
To achieve this:
Step 2: Identify traffic sources that are suitable for your brand
An e-commerce site or B2B site always need traffic (or visitors), and subsequently some of these visitors would eventually convert into customers. It's important to understand the traffic sources. Traffic source types may include:
To achieve this:
Step 3: Design your website for your potential customers
With a typical e-commerce site, your customers would engage with pages:
To achieve this, you may start with digging the appropriate data using Google Analytics (assume your site has Google Analytics set up) and focus on reports including:
Step 4: Design your customer relationship program (CRM) for your potential customers
Typically, you may have to spend 3-8 times more effort acquiring a new customer than simply keeping an existing customer satisfied. It's important to regularly communicate with your existing customers, find out what they need and sell them what they want (need).
Newsletters via emails: A way to communicate the status update of your company, products, services and brand.
Promotions via emails: For example, communicate with your Chinese customers when your products or services offer discounts.
Loyalty program: With a customer retention program, you can roll out cashback, coupons, gifts, etc.
Mobile: Communicate to your Chinese customers about their loyalty program status, new promotions, and post-purchase information.
Customer care call center / service center: When your Chinese customers aren't satisfied with your brand and may complain, you need a way for them to reach you (or for you to reach them), and solve their issues.

Cardiovascular adaptations driven by exposure to weightlessness cause some astronauts to experience orthostatic intolerance upon return to Earth. Maladaptations of spaceflight that lead to hemodynamic instability are temporary, and therefore astronauts provide for researchers a powerful model to study cardiovascular dysfunction in terrestrial patients. Orthostatic intolerance in astronauts is linked ...

Convertino Victor A - - 2005
There is little evidence obtained from space flight to support the notion that occurrence of cardiac dysrhythmias, impaired cardiac and vascular function, and manifestation of asymptomatic cardiovascular disease represent serious risks during space flight. Therefore, the development of orthostatic hypotension and instability immediately after return from spaceflight probably reflect the ...
Eiken Ola - - 2005
BACKGROUND: Motion sickness is a common aeromedical problem that may occur in pilots exposed to increased gravitoinertial load in the head-to-foot direction (+Gz). Since motion sickness may affect autonomic nervous functions including cardiovascular control, it was hypothesized that it might interfere with cardiovascular responses to high +Gz, thereby decreasing G ...

Lifeboat rescues yacht in difficulty off Norfolk
The lifeboat from Wells on the North Norfolk coast was launched yesterday evening (Saturday) to help a 28 foot yacht which had run into difficulties. The bilge keel Yacht "Amigo" with 2 persons on-board, was on its way towards Grimsby on a Northerly heading when it ran into mechanical difficulties and was not making any headway. The yacht then reversed its course and started to proceed toward the 'safe port' of Wells.
At 17:20 Humber Coastguard requested that the Wells all-weather Lifeboat be launched, as they were uncertain that the yacht would be able to make a safe landfall and navigate to the safety of the port. The crew were paged at 17:20 and the Lifeboat left the Boathouse at 17:30. The Lifeboat launched in Holkham Bay at 17:50 and proceeded toward the casualty which was about 40 mins to the Northward in the vicinity of the Docking Shoal. The Lifeboat arrived on scene at 19:25 and escorted the vessel toward Wells.
At 20:50 in the outer approaches to the harbour a crew member was placed on board the Amigo and a towline was attached. The lifeboat entered the harbour channel at 21:00 and towed the yacht to the safety of the outer harbour.
Overturned kayak spotted off Norfolk coast
Two people were feared to be in the water off the North Norfolk coast after a kayak was found overturned in the water.
The sighting of the kayak sparked a rescue operation when the alarm was raised a mile north of Burnham Overy Staithe.
It was thought two people had been inside the boat and so the Wells inshore lifeboat team were sent to investigate.
The all-weather lifefboat was then launched to help in the search for the missing crew, but was stood down after the missing persons were found safe on the shore.
Operations Manager Chris Hardy said. "From the land it looked as if there were two people on board and you can't take chances with situations like this. I am pleased that it all ended well in this case."

Cameron views tidal surge damage in Norfolk
David Cameron surveyed the extent of the flood damage in north Norfolk today as he visited a town hit by last week's tidal surge.
The Prime Minister met residents of Wells-next-the-Sea whose properties were damaged as the tide reached the highest level on record.
Mr Cameron paid tribute to the emergency services and flood wardens for their response, but said more could be done.
He said: "These were terrible floods and it was a very difficult event but the resilience of people here in Norfolk must be praised."

Whale watching, Gulf Islands (Tom Ryan photo)
Whale watching in British Columbia is an extraordinary experience. Set out on a whale-watching tour to spot Orcas (killer whales), humpback whales, Pacific grey whales – all in their natural habitats.
Whale-watching opportunities abound May through October, and tours leave from major cities such as Vancouver and Victoria, along with more remote locations such as Northern BC and off the north and west coasts of Vancouver Island (named by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of North America's Best Whale Watching Spots in 2010).
Choose from a range of whale-watching tours, such as a few hours on an open-air high-speed Zodiac; a full day spent on a comfortable cruiser with indoor seating and spacious viewing deck; or even a historic sailboat for a week-long luxury adventure.
Read More
Victoria: Easy access to prime whale watching from the Inner Harbour, including Haro Strait, the San Juan Islands, and Race Rocks Ecological Reserve.
Vancouver: Excursions leaving from Granville Island Public Market and downtown, plus whale watching day trips connecting to Vancouver Island.
Vancouver Island: Four coastlines offering abundant whale viewing, including the Southern Gulf Islands, Tofino and Ucluelet, Campbell River, and the more remote north coast.
Northern British Columbia: Whale-watching adventures that incorporate Aboriginal culture and remote, wild scenery.
Vancouver Coast & Mountains: Whale-watching tours leave from the quaint fishing village of Steveston. Also trips to the marine-rich Gulf Islands.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: Wildlife tour operators and cruising companies offer expeditions to the Great Bear Rainforest that include whale watching.
BC's coasts are home to several whale species, including the distinct Orca, and humpback, minke and Pacific grey whales. Orcas and grey whales can be seen earlier in the season (beginning in early May) while minke and humpback whales are usually spotted during the fall. Waters here also teem with marine animals such as harbour porpoises, Dall's porpoises, seals and sea lions, while bald eagles and a variety of sea birds fill the air.
Whale watching in British Columbia takes place near both cities and remote yet accessible locations.
The isolated waters surrounding Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands are home to both spectacular whale sightings and scenery, while Victoria and Vancouver's bustling downtown cores provide access to whales just minutes from these major cities, along with shopping, museums and dining.
Head to the Gulf Islands (near Victoria) to meet resident pods of Orcas or combine whale watching with a visit to the Whale Interpretive Centre in Telegraph Cove near the lush Broughton Archipelago on Vancouver Island.
Whales and cold water surfing can both be found off the coast of Tofino and Ucluelet, or walk Steveston's quaint waterfront before embarking on a whale-watching tour from Richmond.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on March 6 Pacific! Slingshot, Facebook's second attempt to clone Snapchat, is now available worldwide — but the app's already sliding down the App Store charts in the U.S. After accidentally revealing Slingshot on June 9, and then formally lunching the app on June 17, it appears that Facebook's ephemeral messaging service is neither a flop nor a splash. Singshot follows Facebook's first ephemeral messaging app attempt, Poke, which was killed off in May. Facebook's Slingshot, backed by all that social networking might, is lagging behind Yo, a significantly less functional app that began as an April Fools' Day joke. For fun, let's compare the two, with data provided by app tracking site App Annie. Here's Facebook's Slingshot, which topped the charts at #46 overall in the U.S., and currently sits at the #32 spot among top photo and video apps. Next, here's Yo, which topped the charts at #4 overall in the U.S., and current sits at the #4 spot among the top social networking apps. As a bonus, here's Snapchat, which currently sits at the #10 spot overall in the U.S.: Of course, Yo's success is as confusing as it is temporary. But it's quite amusing to see Facebook, a social networking behemoth, lag far behind a joke app released over a similar time period. But most importantly, even on launch Facebook's Slingshot didn't manage to draw attention away from Snapchat. For Facebook, it looks like Slingshot is strike two.

DHG leverages significant industry experience to deliver competitive intelligence, insights and ideas to improve performance under your rooftops and across your business.
DHG offers a wide range of assurance services including the audit, review and compilation of financial statements and the examination and compilation of forecasts and projections.
We have developed a proprietary product called DHOR (Dixon Hughes Goodman Operating Report) for fast and seamless gathering of transactional and financial data to enable in-depth analysis in order to provide the maximum return of your investment in the audit process. Our trained professionals will review financial records and data and assess their validity. We understand that this historical information is essential as a basis for making important management decisions as well as relied upon by involved third parties.
Want to quickly evaluate dealership performance? Use Eye on Your Business, an electronic financial statement analysis tool that will easily isolate performance in the areas of profitability, asset management, expense control and personnel productivity,
In today's ever-changing regulatory environment, the rules governing employee benefit plan reporting are becoming increasingly stringent and complex. DHG audits hundreds of qualified benefit plans and our professionals are well versed in the maze of regulations. Utilizing DHG's employee benefit plan professionals to manage these complexities will allow you to concentrate on your core business of operating a dealership.
We check under the hood
Our internal audit services help ensure that you're operating in a secure and efficient manner. Our risk-based approach allows each visit to address the issues that present the greatest threats to your dealership in the financial, operating and compliance areas.
Outsourcing of Internal Audit
Allow your organization to concentrate on its core business and remain focused on selling and servicing vehicles by selectively outsourcing your internal audit function to the professionals in DHG's Dealerships.

DHG provides an array of tax services to help you meet your goals including wealth management, tax compliance, state and local taxation, international taxation, real estate services and representation before taxing authorities. We have a team of tax professionals who are dedicated to the dealership industry. This team has extensive experience in federal, state and local tax compliance matters.

Accelerate Your Cash Flow
Our cost segregation studies identify shorter-lived assets, such as electrical and mechanical systems, furniture, fixtures and equipment, reclassifying them to qualify for faster write-offs.
Merger, acquisition and asset based lending are complicated transactions which require a trained staff to evaluate and determine the authenticity of numbers and values. For any pre-transaction review, you must be able to call on professionals who have handled hundreds of these transactions in the past and who have created the necessary infrastructure and processes to quickly ascertain the facts.
Whether you are purchasing or selling a dealership or franchise, having the right team of advisors is critical to obtain the best results. As experienced dealership CPAs, our first task is to place you in touch with the "economic reality" of the proposed transaction by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the deal. From that initial assessment, a strategy is devised to coordinate with your legal (and other) advisors to generate the best deal. The process of completing a deal requires a highly skilled team comprised of collaborative professionals working in tandem with one another. We have extensive experience in leading dealership transaction teams ranging from single-point, dealer-to-dealer transactions to deals with major dealership groups and consolidators involving multiple stores and franchises. Every deal is unique, and every deal involves emotion and stress. While dealers are savvy business people and clearly know how to buy and sell vehicles, most dealers are not in the business of buying and selling dealerships/franchises. These are important events requiring the best team possible, and our professionals have loads of experience and success to share with you.
Our services include:

In any litigation or dispute matter, much is on the line for the involved parties. Our highly experienced professionals have assisted dealer clients and attorneys by providing expert advice and testimony, analytical research and computations and other litigation services. As CPAs who are skilled in automotive matters, we use our unique capabilities to look beyond the numbers and provide useful advice to resolve issues. We focus on reducing complex topics to their essence and concisely communicating the facts in an understandable manner.
Our services to dealers and their advisors include:
Our valuation professionals are nationally recognized in the valuation profession, and they provide proficient opinions for dealerships, franchises and related entities. Our approach is to perform rigorous analyses, apply recognized valuation approaches and utilize proper empirical evidence to develop supportable and defensible valuation opinions to assist our clients and their advisors. The specific facts and circumstances of each dealership, as well as the standard of value purpose of the engagement, determine its ultimate value. Our professionals are skilled, credentialed valuation specialists who are highly experienced in serving the automobile industry. This combination of skills and talents produces reliable valuations to assist dealers and their advisors in making the best choices possible when accurate decisions are required. DHG can help you in:
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, your dealership and its reputations may be at risk. To handle risks throughout your dealership you must implement solid, ongoing processes designed to keep those risks in check. We can help.
By implementing best practices to reduce your risk exposure and establishing relationships with DHG solution providers, your organization could recognize cost savings through lower insurance premiums.
Over the past few years, a large number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts citing either Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) or Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act (UDTPA) violations or both. Many of these lawsuits sought class certification. Common complaints included:
Are you an easy target? Are you doing enough to protect your dealership? You need to know.

a bp/suppo 2208-17 would have been "your best bet" for 3d on 3s cells, but here are some numbers for your existing motor :
APC 8 X 3.8 SF draws about 11A on a 3S pack APC 10 X 4.7 draws about 9.5A on a 2S pack APC 11 X 4.7 draws about 10.5A on a 2S pack so if you are gonna use this motor with a gws 8x4sf then you can use your 730 3s 13, but only with bursts of full throttle according to the above numbers. i wouldnt ruin a good thunder power over a cheap motor, i like those featherlite batts!! i have a 2208-17 i fly a amos 3d foamy with it, i used a 10x3.8 apc sf cut down to 9" and pulled 13 amps, it was good 3d for sure but i ended up cutting the prop to basically a 8x3.8 (cut some of the cord of the prop as well) and now pull exactly 10 amps. these motors are really cool for as cheap as you can get them, if you do make the switch do yourself a favor and order from dave at this link http://www.lightflightrc.com/HTML/pr...8-17%2B18A.htm you will get an esc as well!! and dave is very responsive and helpfull ive order several things from his site |
