chidago/ serves me right for not reading jeep's post carefully enough. He meant the intake On my steve-modded drive I have the stainless grill he supplies - actually made from pieces of stainless wire but it works like a charm. On my stock (Graupner impellered) ones I have used the grill from a cheap electric mosquito swatter as somebody mentioned on the thread a while ago.
Tiernan85/ glad you have found a cure. There must be a tolerance on these things and I'm just lucky my moulding just happened to be fine and it was only the fibre washer that needed modding. As everyone says, allen/cap screws are the only way to go for motor mounting. As I said before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1507373854...84.m1439.l2649 is a good place to go for rapid delivery of cheap screws for people in the British Isles. |

Mine was doing that too, so I've chucked a D cell battery near the motor hoping that will help. Won't know till I test it during my lunch break tomorrow.
Has any body tried these out? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160862278095?redirect=mobile I'm thinking of getting a couple, if you have tried, where did you mount it? |

Not used one myself as still haven't even got my boat in the water for the first time lol.
But seen this video not too long back of one of those in action. Seems handy. No clue where it was mounted though. http://youtu.be/Ms1JPbrBUuY?t=3m6s |

Rim, I tried heating it, the plastic softens to bad to let the joint go..it aint the glue they use inside, so I gave up..but, a GREAT idea..lemmie know if you find a way to get it loose, please.
I finished tuning mine, problem is, its a shortie, cant do anything about that, and to keep the pump hooked up better, it would need waaay more hull, or a different design..my problem with everything is I take stuff to a extreme, and eveything has a limit by nature.. Water, by its nature, doesnt compress, and, volume cannot be scaled down, the engineering degree my father paid for, so many years ago, still works.. In the mid 80's I raced, pro, full size jets, and in the 90's I owned part of a jet boat facility, Tahiti Caribbean, great boats, was part of the parent company that owned berkley jets, Hardin Marine, who did all the jet conversions from normal market jet boat builders.. Vic Hardin was a good guy..died in the early 90's, family didnt pursue boats anymore.. Geez, I got long winded.. Anyway, I changed my CG a little, its done..short vid for ya, and a few pics of one of my Caribbeans..

Manto's Photo Pattern pay tribute to the Gentle Art, featuring an arrangement of black-and-white photos that depict BJJ fighters in action. Each photo and logo is fully sublimated into the lightweight microfiber fabric, guaranteeing that even after repeated use and washing they still won't peel or fade.
Featuring a folding hook-and-loop closure with a convenient slim design. These shorts are made for grapplers, providing ample range of motion at the hips and legs. Equipped with an internal drawstring in case you need to cinch up the waist a bit. The nifty hidden interior pocket keeps your belongings such as mouthguard, ID, contact case, etc. safe when you're hanging on or off the mats.
Hey can you guys put up the Manto Altia rash guard again? I know you had it up in the recent past but I'd buy it if it goes up again!

While the Rule 5 draft doesn't take place until December, when Winter Meetings are being held in Nashville, Tennessee during the 3rd through the 6th, General Manager Neal Huntington and his front office staff have already begun their process of evaluating the talent.
That process, Huntington said, starts back in Spring Training and continues throughout the season. Those first time eligible and re-eligible's are evaluated throughout the season. And now that the regular season for Pittsburgh has ended, Huntington said they will be holding meetings this month on which players they will look to protect, and who they could possibly remove from the roster to open spots.
"We identify internally the guys that are Rule 5 eligible, the guys that are potential minor league free agents, the guys that we believe can help us not only short-term this year at the Major League level and what they need to be able to do to do that help guys take steps forward so that they are roster protected decisions for us," Huntington said. "We're in that process right now. We're evaluating everything we do. We're pouring through mountains of data. Whether it's everything we get from MLBAM on the play-by-play tracking, every minor league game, the sport vision data that we do that supplements the MLBAM data that's salvable for every game. It's all the data that we collect up here from the various statistically agencies. We're pooling through that data. We're pooling through our scouting reports."
"Identifying targets, identify our own Rule 5 protect guys. Combing the objective information and our elevation of it with the subjective information and our evaluation of it. October is meeting mania. We spend a lot of time with our scouts. Spend a lot of time with the front office. Spend a lot of time talking to other clubs and evaluating, putting our off-season plan in place…Some guys are obvious protects, even back in March. But then there are other gust that we want to make sure that we are identifying potential Rule 5, or potential minor league free agents. Guys that we think can come in and play a role for us."

This is a slow year for the Pirates and the Rule 5 eligibles. The players who are eligible this year are the high school players from the 2008 draft and the college players from the 2009 draft. The Pirates went heavy on college players in the top rounds of the 2008 draft, with the notable high school picks in the top 20 being Robbie Grossman, Quinton Miller, Jarek Cunningham, and Wes Freeman. In 2009 the Pirates went heavy on high school talent in the middle rounds. First rounder Tony Sanchez will be eligible, as will first round compensation pick Victor Black. But the combination of a college heavy draft in 2008 and a high school heavy draft in 2009 leaves the list a little short this year.
The players I would consider protecting are as follows:
Gift Ngoepe - He's the best defensive infielder in the system, and might be the fastest in the system. It's been surprising how well he has developed, and that development should continue. He's shown some ability with the bat, although not in a consistent manner. He wouldn't be the first speedy, plus defense shortstop with a weak bat to be added to the 40-man roster.
Phil Irwin - Irwin really stepped up this year, putting up strong numbers in Double-A and Triple-A. He could be ready for the majors next year. He's more a depth option, with his upside being a back of the rotation starter. The Pirates would be better going with him than signing a free agent for the same role.
Ramon Cabrera - His hitting picked up in the second half, and he looked good defensively behind the plate this year. His upside is probably a backup catcher. The Pirates are thin at the position in the upper levels, and shouldn't risk losing a guy like Cabrera.
Tony Sanchez - His defense is strong, but his bat has limited his potential upside. He did see a power increase in Triple-A, which is encouraging, although it was a small sample size and came without hitting for average. He'll definitely be protected.
Victor Black - He's got the stuff to be a late inning reliever, touching 99 MPH with his fastball and complimenting that with a hard slider, which gets a lot of strikeouts.
Kyle Kaminska - The Pirates added him in the Gorkys Hernandez/Gaby Sanchez trade, and he showed some promise in his limited time in the rotation between high-A and Double-A.
Borderline Players:
Jarek Cunningham - A lot of pop for a middle infielder, but poor defense and poor plate patience could limit his upside. It would also make it less likely that he gets picked, since he doesn't play a premium defensive position.
Jeff Inman - He's got a great arm, touching 98 MPH in instructs last year. He didn't have success this year in Double-A from a numbers standpoint.
Nathan Baker - As a starter he struggled with control. As a reliever he looked dominant. A left-handed reliever might not have the upside to be selected in the Rule 5 draft.
Zack Dodson - He was suspended for 50 games for failing two substance of abuse tests. He also didn't have a good season in his second trip at low-A. There's still potential there, but Dodson is probably too low in the minors to be a risk to be selected. He's the only 2009 prep pitcher on this list, and he's here because he was a year older than everyone else.

(Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)A recent discovery in the brain scans of five living ex-NFL players could lead to early diagnoses of a neurodegenerative disease triggered by repeated head trauma according to results published online Tuesday by the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry via ESPN.com.The protein that causes chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in living patients was discovered in the scans. Researchers who conducted the study at UCLA said the findings will provide a link to diagnosing the disease in living players and patients. The disease linked to dementia, memory loss and depression, previously could only be confirmed by examining the brain after death and autopsy."I've been saying that identifying CTE in a living person is the holy grail for this disease and for us to be able make advances in treatment," said Dr. Julian Bailes, co-director of NorthShore Neurological Institute in Evanston, Ill., and one of the study's co-authors. "It's not definitive, and there's a lot we still need to discover to help these people, but it's very compelling. It's a new discovery."The UCLA researchers used a brain-imaging tool to examine the brains of former backup quarterbacks Wayne Clark, age 64; former Vikings linebacker Fred McNeill, age 59; and three unidentified players including a former center, age 45, who sustained 10 concussions. All five players' brains showed concentrations of tau, an abnormal protein that inhibits normal brain cells, especially in areas that control memory and emotions.Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau, who committed suicide in May, was diagnosed with CTE in January."The findings are preliminary -- we only had five players -- but if they hold up in future studies, this may be an opportunity to identify CTE before players have symptoms so we can develop preventative treatment," said Dr. Gary W. Small, the study's lead author and a professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at UCLA. Promoted Stories Comments

I hope I'm posting in proper section.
I realize any info given here isn't legal advice but i would like to hear what people think.
At what point is it excusable or justifiable self-defense to brandish a gun in Virginia. After watching a DVD called Deadly Force Firearms Self Defense & The Law I'm left to believe that if approached and am engaged in a physical confrontation by an individual at no point do I have the right to brandish a weapon unless he say pulls out a knife or grabs a cinder block and is in the process of dropping it on my head. Of course this video wasn't Virginia specific and the situation may relate to another states laws. I have read the Virginia gun owners guide and it says the same thing Virginia code says.
Virginia Code
It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearm or any air or gas operated weapon or any object similar in appearance, whether capable of being fired or not, in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another or hold a firearm or any air or gas operated weapon in a public place in such a manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another of being shot or injured. However, this section shall not apply to any person engaged in excusable or justifiable self-defense.
If I'm approached by an unknown person and have a feeling I need to take a defensive posture isn't brandishing justified if I at some point during his approach after I ask him to keep his distance he keeps coming.

MUFE Graphic Liner, Marcelle Double Precision Liner reviews, swatches, photos | High vs. Low: Two pen-tipped liners you need to know
Monday, January 26, 2015
When it comes to makeup, I sometimes find it helpful to think of things in context of "generations" — like, different generations of eye primers (pre-Urban Decay tone eveners vs post-Urban Decay longevity-improving creams), lip stains (thin liquids vs YSL-type gloss-stains), eyeliner pencils (hard kohls vs waxy gel-creams) and now, liquid eyeliner pens.
These, ladies and gents, are not your mother's pen liners. They apply like liquid liners rather than markers, they dry down to wonderfully glossy finishes, and–most importantly–they wear absolutely flawlessly all. day. long. with no staining.
PS: Neither of these liners contain silicones, so they're a great choice if you're trying to go 'cone-free but still want something with great opacity and wear time!
Marcelle Double Precision Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Intense Black ($14.95 CAD)
This dual-ended liner was the very first pen-style liner that I ever fell in love with, and I fell hard. The two tips moderate product flow so that you never end up with tons of liner on your lashes (as you might with a liquid liner), but it wears without smudging or budging for a good 12+ hours — maybe more, but I've never needed to test it for any longer.
Marcelle Double Precision Liner swatches
I like this one for its wear, which I find to be just the smallest bit better than the Make Up For Ever Liner, but I think that its dual-ended design has a pretty big pull, too. The felt tip is smaller than that on the Make Up For Ever, and is just firm enough to line the eyes with ease (yes, even for winged liner), while the brush tip is very fine and looks like a delicate paintbrush.
Of the two brush ends, I mainly use the felt end — the brush tip doesn't dispense quite enough product to deliver a really solid-looking wing, though it is excellent at getting the very point at the end of your liner and fading it into nothingness. Occasionally, I need to make two passes with this liner (either end) to achieve full opacity.
» See it worn here!
Marcelle Double Precision brush tip
MUFE Graphic Liner (thin/thick), Marcelle Double Precision felt tip (thick/thin), Marcelle Double Precision brush tip
Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner ($24 USD/29 CAD)
This liner has a significantly firmer felt tip than the Marcelle, which means that it delivers a much more consistent result: the line, no matter how fine, is always the same amount of pigmented and opaque.
On the flip side of that equation, however, is the fact that the Marcelle can achieve lines that are both thicker and thinner than those within the Graphic Liner's range (even with just its felt end), so you have to choose which is more important to you: width or opacity. (There is no wrong answer!)
Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner
I do think this liner is ever so slightly better than the Marcelle, but (and this is a big but) I have two problems with it. One, the cap doesn't click on; it just slides into place, and I constantly worry that it's drying out. And two: the formula smells really toxic. Which is dumb, right? Like, logically, I know that something smelling bad does NOT equal toxic, and vice-versa.
But it smells really bad, like a paint or a Sharpie or something, and I'm not gonna lie, it freaks me out a little.
» See it worn here!
Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner vs Marcelle Double Precision felt tips
The verdict?
I really love both these liners, so I'm going to leave the final verdict up to you (and possibly where you happen to live), but I think beginners and casual makeup wearers will appreciate the brush tip on the Marcelle, while makeup pros will prefer the Instagram-perfect opacity of the Make Up For Ever.
Whichever one you buy, remember that BOTH are very good — you really can't go wrong here! Instinctually, I think I like the Make Up For Ever more (for its opacity and firm tip), but the scent-free Marcelle liner freaks me out way less.
Availability: The Marcelle liner is available at drugstores & mass market retailers across Canada or online at marcelle.ca ($14.95 CAD); the Make Up For Ever liner is available at Sephora ($24 USD/$29 CAD) and Make Up For Ever boutiques.

Scolari reveals Kalou interest
01 Sep 2008 - 07:52:56
Chelsea head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed that Arsenal made an approach to sign Blues striker Salomon Kalou earlier this summer.
The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international has scored 20 goals in 108 appearances for the Blues, but almost half of his outings have come as a substitute.
Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Spurs, Scolari said: "If you ask Arsene Wenger, he wants Kalou as a centre-forward and Arsene is an intelligent man.
"He wanted Kalou two or three months ago when we started negotiations for some players. I said no.
"If he loves Kalou as a number nine, I try it sometimes, but I have Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba and Franco Di Santo."
Of his side's dropping of their first points of the new Premier League season, Scolari added: "For me we played well. I think we need to respect Tottenham and the quality they have. Sometimes it is impossible to win.
"It was an interesting derby and a draw for me is a normal result, because we had more chances but made mistakes in the final shot.
"Seven points, if we make this at the final, surely we are first. Follow the last two or three seasons. With 75 per cent of the points you win."

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: 'Lob City' handles Suns for 13th straight win
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 103-77 loss to the Clippers on December 23.
The Good:
Jared Dudley continues to enjoy his return to the starting lineup. He scored a team-high 19 points. It's the sixth time in eight games he's scored 15 or more points as a starter since December 8.
Markieff Morris scored 10 points off the bench. It's his second-straight double-digit scoring effort and his sixth in his last nine games.
The Bad:
A night after their season-high four-game winning streak was snapped, the Suns see their season-high four-game home winning streak come to an end.
The Suns were outscored 15-3 to end the first half, giving the Clippers a double-digit lead they would never relinquish.
"[Sunday] they took it to us, no excuses," Dudley said. "They were just the better team. Everything they wanted to do, they did it and everything we tried to take away, we didn't."
� Suns scored a season-low tying 77 points as they remain winless on the second night of a back-to-back this season (0-6).
� Clippers won for the first time at US Airways Center since April 17, 2007, ending a 10-game losing streak in Phoenix.
� Michael Beasley (illness) missed his first game of the season.
Up Next:
The Suns (11-17) play their final home game of 2012, hosting Amare Stoudemire and the New York Knicks on Wednesday, December 26.

Product #: CRU511PENDULUM |
As the pendulum swings back and forth, its energy changes from potential energy (the energy it has at the top of its swing, when it is raised up) into kinetic energy (the energy of motion). But the pendulum can be used as a device to explore other concepts as well. The time for one swing doesn't depend on the size of the swing or the mass at the end of the pendulum, only on the length. This is why the pendulum came to be used in the earliest accurate clocks!

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA - A substantial spike in natural gas prices this winter could prompt the General Assembly to take the state sales tax off of Georgians' gas bills, several lawmakers said Monday.
The temporary moratorium for the heating season would echo action the legislature took during a special session in September, when lawmakers removed the sales tax on motor fuels for nearly a month in response to price increases following Hurricane Katrina. "There's a lot of talk by members ... to bring some relief, particularly if these prices triple,'' said House Speaker Pro Tempore Mark Burkhalter, R-Alpharetta, co-chairman of a legislative study committee looking for ways to dampen expected increases in natural gas bills this winter. Industry analysts are predicting that Georgia businesses and homeowners will be hit with significantly higher home-heating bills in the next few months because of normal winter demand coupled with ongoing hurricane-related supply disruptions. As of two weeks ago, natural gas production capacity in the Gulf of Mexico still was down by about 40 percent from the levels generated before hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the region in August and September. Earlier this month, officials from Southern Natural Gas announced plans to temporarily boost the capacity of a pipeline that supplies liquefied natural gas shipped from the Caribbean to the company's terminal at Elba Island. But both that project and the temporary lifting of the sales tax on natural gas offer only short-term solutions to rising prices. On Monday, Rep. Harry Geisinger, R-Roswell, suggested that the General Assembly support opening up the Outer Continental Shelf off the Georgia coast to drilling for natural gas. A federal moratorium on drilling off the east coast has been in effect since the 1980s. But Geisinger, chairman of an advisory committee made up primarily of industry representatives, said an amendment to the energy bill passed by Congress last summer calling for offshore exploration for gas failed in the Senate by just one vote. "We are a consumer state, not a producer state,'' he said. "This would make us a producing state and put us in a self-sufficient position.'' Geisinger said technology has improved in the last two decades to the point that drilling for natural gas is no longer a threat to the environment. But Jill Johnson, environmental advocate for the Georgia Public Interest Research Group, said drilling remains "dirty business'' that could threaten the state's tourism industry and is a shortsighted approach to rising energy costs. "We really need to break our dependence on oil and gas,'' she said. "The best solution is energy efficiency.'' Some members of the study committee also questioned the wisdom of lifting the sales tax on natural gas. "I hesitate to make these short-term (tax) breaks that may be politically expedient but don't solve anything in the long term,'' said Sen. Steve Henson, D-Tucker, whose district includes portions of western Gwinnett County. Henson also warned lawmakers not to move too quickly to reduce tax revenues when the state is grappling with cuts to education and rising Medicaid costs. But Burkhalter said lifting the sales tax wouldn't affect Georgia's budget because it would occur only during a time when the state otherwise would be reaping a huge increase in collections because of higher gas prices. "When fuel spikes ... it's like a windfall,'' he said. "We'd cut into that excess windfall.''More like this story

Tags: Great Writing, futurists, Paleo-Future
I'm a faithful reader of Matt Novak's Paleo-Future blog. His "look into the future that never was" never disappoints, especially if you like laughing at foolish futurists (because you never lulled yourself into a prepubescent sleep with images of jet packs and flying cars, right?). I'm most fond of Novak's posts about children imagining the future. There's the 14-year-old from Milwaukee in 1901 who imagines a advertisement on the 199th floor of a 120-floor skyscraper in the year 2001 that reads: "Old People Restored to Youth by Electricity, While You Wait." And there's another 14-year-old from Milwaukee, also imagining 2001, who predicted that "The people of the Earth will be in close communication with Mars by being shot off in great cannons. The cannon ball will be hollow to contain food and drink."
My favorite might be Letters by 4th Graders to the Year 2000. "These kids really hit all the major futurism topics of the 20th century," Novak says in his setup, "robot maids, moving sidewalks, flying cars, meal pills, push button everything, education through television, socialism, and candy. Lots of candy." Here's the future these kids imagined:
In the year 2000 I think that cars can fly in the air as fast as they want to without using gas. You can get whatever you want, including candy. Houses will be way up in the sky. You can have robots to do the housework for the mothers. Instead of walking, the the sidewalks will move for you. Your friend, Laurie Smith
In the year 2000 I think thay kids will be taught at home on their TV. The army will be using lazor guns. Cars will be like spaceships and the strreetlights will be on long tall poles. Another means of transportation will be push buttons. Select where you want to go, push a button, step through a door, and you'll be where you wanted to be. Food will be in tablet form, put on water on the tablet and your food will be on your plate. Sincerely yours, R.C. Brown
I think in the year 2000 the earth will be much more polluted than it is. I also think that we will have no more school, and cars can go as fast as they want without getting a ticket. Sincerely, Yolanda Tejeda

I spilled coffee on my phone this morning and the volume buttons are acting screwy. My volume up button keeps pressing on its own and not responding to actual presses. Any ideas on fixing it? I have tried taking a q-tip with water on it and wiping the volume rocker down and then drying it out. That fixed it for about 15 minutes, but then volume up stopped responding to presses again and started going up on its own. Should I try rubbing alcohol (since I have successfully used it to fix drowned phones before)? I can't afford to pay the $100 for an insurance replacement right now, but I use the phone as an mp3 player while at work and cannot have the phone blasting me at full volume through my headphones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah I would power off the phone and try a little rubbing alcohol, try pressing the volume down so the volume up raises up a bit and try and clean under it.
Ok, so now the hdmi port is acting screwy, too. Same idea, or would it be better to try to have verizon sort it out?

I have a bad back and experienced a serious back spasm almost a year ago. I was given cortisone, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. I was also given a list of back exercises to do at home every day.
I'm now off the medications and the severe back pain is gone. But I still have symptoms in my leg -- pain that is on and off, as well as numbness and pins and needles.
I feel like my therapeutic treatment wasn't good enough. I should have gotten all better by now.


text: Visited Tequesta Brewery last week and enjoyed Terminally Ale (Brown Ale). I had their Gnarly Barley IPA and Chancellor Kolsch at a couple other local bars since they were served throughout the area. My friend had the Vanilla-Honey Weiss. TBC really has their water adjustments down pat, which is great because most Florida water tastes very sulfury. They achieve a smoothness for all of their beer styles, which is great because perfecting the water profile is often the first thing that is overlooked by other brewers. I still prefer Maduro Brown to Terminally Ale, but it's not far off in terms of overall quality. The latter is more about coffee whereas the former is mostly chocolate.

With the defending Cup champion Los Angeles Kings giving up a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a blue-chip prospect to acquire solid Carolina Hurricanes defenceman Andrej Sekera, the gauntlet has been thrown down at the feet of their rival, the Anaheim Ducks. Can Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish squeeze a first-rounder out of the Ducks now for Jeff Petry? Maybe.
Several days have passed since TransLink rearranged the deck chairs in its executive offices, and I am still trying to get my head around the motivation for the manoeuvre. The Mayors' Council, fighting for a Yes in the plebiscite on a new tax for transportation funding, gave this reason for the CEO replacement: "to build public confidence". »

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Get Over Your Pessimism and Buy
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's always tons to fret about in the markets, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Monday, but when no one believes in the rally that might just be the perfect time to buy.
Cramer said hated rallies don't stay hated for long. Eventually even the most bearish investors are forced to capitulate and come in from the sidelines. It may be tough to stay bullish in times of high pessimism, but sometimes you just need to get over it and start buying.
There are tons of reasons to hate the markets, or so the bears tell us. They're worried about the light volumes, they fret about the "unsteady" banking system, and they've even devised a way to hate great earnings by citing "light revenue" numbers. But whether it's earnings or politics or the market mechanics, none of these are reasons to not embrace this rally, said Cramer.
While it may not seem like it to younger investors, we've been here before, recalled Cramer. Almost 24 years ago to the day, he said, there was palpable pessimism in the markets. Back then, even he was caught up in the hype, Cramer admitted. But after stern words from his soon-to-be wife and trading partner, Cramer said he started buying, taking full advantage of the 1,000-point rally in the Dow Jones industrials that followed. Cramer said it's easy to sound smart and prudent when you're a bear, but there will always be things about the stock market to make you worry. When everyone is a bear, that's the time to buy -- not the time to sell.Cramer's Obsession
Cramer said he's become obsessed with Mellanox Technologies (MLNX - Get Report), the little-known semiconductor company that's delivered an astonishing 248% gain so far this year. While he featured the company as part of his "Home Run Derby" series back in March, even he couldn't have imagined this company's phenomenal rise. Cramer said the reason for Mellanox' success is simple: The analysts have been continually underestimating the company. Back in April, when the analysts were looking for paltry revenue growth of just 2.4%, Mellanox delivered an impressive 44% sequential increase in revenue. Afterwards, the analysts dug in their heels, refusing to raise their targets only to get blindsided by the company's next two quarters as well.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

India names new army chief before poll result: report
Published on May 14, 2014 12:34 AM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - India's Congress-led government named a new army chief Tuesday, days before official election results were due in the world's largest democracy where exit polls show the Hindu nationalists headed for victory, a report said.
Lieutenant General Dalbir Singh Suhag, 59, will take over from chief of army staff General Bikram Singh after he retires on July 31, the Press Trust of India national news agency quoted sources as saying.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has questioned the Congress' rushed move to 'fill high-profile vacancies' and demanded that the next government be allowed to name the next chief.
Traditionally, the government names the next chief two months before the current one's tenure ends.

About this location
The Riviera Nayarit region
Nayarit & Jalisico,
When old meet new,only 15 minute away from the airport,north and south so you get to enjoy both old town and new town,
Old Town, Puerto Vallarta, and México
Voted the friendliest place on earth, Puerto Vallarta is surrounded by incredible beaches and jungles loaded with wildlife. The area, like much of Mexico, is both quaint and vibrant with cobblestone streets, charm, and local fiestas. We try it all, from people- to whale-watching, from local authentic Mexican to world renowned gourmet, from shopping to ziplines.
Riviera Nayarit
Located on Banderas Bay, just ten minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's airport, Riviera Nayarit stretches along nearly 200 miles of Pacific coastline. Riviera Nayarit offers top-notch hotels, world-class golf, white and golden sand beaches, and eco-tourism adventures. Punta de Mita, a mini-peninsula on the southwest point of Riviera Nayarit, has incredible beaches, lush jungles and a taste of rural Mexico. The picturesque town of Bucerias provides an insight of old Mexico. Golf is a must in this exclusive paradise. Just north of Nuevo Vallarta, Flamingos is known for its famous beach and is home to the first golf course in Banderas Bay. Nuevo Vallarta brings together luxury and nature to offer each visitor an enchanting escape with superb accommodations, comfort and entertainment. Near the airport, this region borders the states of Jalisco and Nayarit and has one of the longest walking beaches on the entire coast
Nuevo Vallarta
Introduction to Nuevo Vallarta.
Located just a few minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta was originally conceived by the Mexican government as a planned residential-resort with luxury villas that surround the area's estuary canals that evoke Florida. Other residences are lined up next to golf courses. Many deluxe hotels and resorts line up its three-mile long sandy beach, and several shopping centers with all sorts of amenities (supermarkets, health clubs, cyber cafés and banks among them) complement the Nuevo Vallarta experience, making of this community a destination of it's own.
In addition, with well-equipped marinas and a very social yacht club, Nuevo Vallarta strongly appeals to full-time and temporary Mexican and international residents that enjoy nautical activities, such as sailing, yachting and surfing. In contrast to bustling Puerto Vallarta, this area is super quiet and peaceful, offering luxurious privacy.
Neighborhoods & Neighboring Regions
Nuevo Vallarta is located just north of the Ameca River. Between the river and Nuevo Vallarta, the small town of Jarretaderas features a couple of Mexican-style seafood restaurants worth exploring. Just north of Nuevo Vallarta lies Flamingos, a similar planned community with its own golf course and resorts. Across from the highway, communities such as Valle Dorado and Mezcales are favored by locals who seek more affordable living and housing options.
The Gringo Gulch area of Puerto Vallarta became famous in 1963, when Richard Burton bought "Casa Kimberly" for Elizabeth Taylor while he was filming "Night of the Iguana" at Mismaloya Beach. Perhaps it was the paparazzi's photographs and reports of one of the 20th century's great love affairs that made Vallarta known as the most romantic spot in the world.
Today, Casa Kimberly is operated as a bed and breakfast where you can see personal photos and candid snapshots of the famous lovers. Gringo Gulch is also a great place to take pictures of the white stucco houses with bright red tile roofs that cling to the mountainside overlooking the Rio Cuale. Bougainvillea spilling from windows and balconies add colour to every photo taken in this charming neighborhood.

I don't dispute that tablet growth has slowed, but I'm not at all as concerned about the industry going forward, in fact I think tablet sales will accelerate again soon. Here's why.
We are at an inflection point with tablets. In many developed markets, PC penetration is high and smartphone penetration is high. The role of the tablet between these two screens is not yet clear in the minds of many consumers. For example, today in most US homes, the tablet is a communal device which members of a family access and share.
According to recent data we (Creative Strategies) gathered, over 50% of tablet owners indicate they share the device with at least one other person. This dynamic has added to the tablets sales slowdown, along with a refresh cycle closer to a PC than a smartphone.
Another interesting observation is that the bulk of tablet purchases in 2013 were in the 7-8" screen size. When you look at the growing size of smartphone screens ranging all the way from 4-6.5 – inches then it begs the question as to why a small screen tablet is larger than a big screen phone? My gut tells me the growing screen sizes of smartphone has also played a role in the slowing tablet sales.
But I don't believe this will be the case for long. In reality, it is hard to look at a one or two quarter slowdown and claim it as the new norm or a long term trend. There are many dynamics at play with regard to tablets that look to set them up for more prime growth.
Bigger is better
One is the trend of larger screen phones I mentioned above. We believe that larger tablets, meaning those closer to 10" or larger, are primed to be a growth area. Since a great deal of smaller screen tablets represent a large portion of the installed base, it seems reasonable that larger screen tablets become more attractive, especially if one has a large screen phone.
Look for this trend to play out on the business / enterprise side as well. From salespeople making impromptu and formal one-on–one presentations to managers working with documents and spreadsheets, bigger screens offer more value.
If this happens we believe more consumers will see the value of the tablet as a legitimate PC replacement. Tablets have been largely supplemental to PCs up to this point. Part of the reason is because smaller tablets are not viable PC replacements. However, data point after data point, suggest to us that once consumers get their hands on larger tablets they begin seeing its value as a primary computing device.
Great deals
The other dynamic that could bring tablet growth back is connectivity. To date, most tablets sold are wifi only. However, we believe this may all be about to change. Carriers are looking to make tablets a growth area for them and we hear of interest to either heavily subsidize tablets or even move to an installment plan model.
What this means is that for very little to no upfront cost, consumers will be able to get a connected tablet from their carrier and just pay a small fee per month for the hardware and the data plan. Carriers looking to do aggressive bundles with hardware tied to their services is a major trend we see coming.
For IT managers this could mean even more consumers wanting to bring their tablets to work. More importantly, it could mean more consumers wanting to bring their tablets to work which are now connected at all times and not just while on wifi.
If we are right and there is a trend to larger and connected tablets, then a new dynamic and opportunity for hardware companies and software companies may be shaping up as well as new use cases for enterprise users.
Tablet sales may be levelling off in the short term, but to say their growth has peaked is way off target.

Howdy Clem Lane here. Here's tonight's note…….
HAITI-The numbers don't get better as the days unfold-the Haitian government said today that some 140 thousand people may have been killed in Tuesday's temblor. The desperation that we have seen on so many faces in the capital city of Port au Prince today has morphed into anger and lawlessness in some cases. Dan Harris, reporting for WORLD NEWS, notes that "today, in isolated but ominous pockets, the frustration is turning ugly." Harris continues: "we watch as this building is vigorously looted. People make off with boxes of tee shirts and even office furniture…only gunfire shuts it down." Day four and the frustration over a lack of relief supplies could be ready to boil over…as Harris says "there's growing fear that we're on the cusp of widespread civil unrest". Harris continues "Fueling the tinder box of resentment…a perception among some Haitians that foreign rescue teams are focusing an enormous amount of energy on saving people in places like the posh Montana Hotel while average Haitians, laboring in vast, post-apocalyptic blightscapes, try to rescue people with their bare hands." Harris adds though that "it must be said the vast majority of Haitians we've met say they don't see any reason for violence….they say they understand. It was an act of nature." So let's take a look at some of the elements we're facing…
–RELIEF SUPPLIES-Well the good news is, aid is getting in. The bad news?Martha Raddatz: "Most of the supplies are simply sitting at the airport." Raddatz explains the painful waiting process: "First the government of Haiti must choose the distribution points…the World Food program then works up a distribution plan…and then the UN forces in Haiti provides security with the help of the US military to get the food out. Bottom line…it is not going to happen until tomorrow".
–SEARCH AND RESCUE-At the aforementioned Montana Hotel, good news today. Kate Snow was there: "Two men-one Haitian, one American-trapped in separate elevators-kept each other company speaking English thru the walls for two and a half days…and then this morning, Carlos Carrillo, a firefighter in Fairfax, Virginia, pulled them out." Elsewhere in the city? Snow: "(The Montana rescue effort) is such a stark contrast with what's happening in most of Port-au-Prince. Tens of thousands are missing and most Haitians have no rescuers to help them dig for survivors." Snow offers up an example: "Yesterday this man stopped us to complain that no one was helping rescue more than 200 students trapped in a vocational school. When we found the school, they were using a dump truck and chain, all they had. By last night at that same school, Belgian search and rescue teams had moved in but they quit at dark. Today a mix of Mexican and Israeli rescuers worked alongside Jordanian security. They told us 20 students might still be alive." So international help is there now…in their own defense "U.S. agencies say they send teams where they think there's potential to save the most lives" Snow reports "and they need local help to find the worst-hit buildings. With every hour, the chances of finding survivors grows dimmer."
–MEDICAL CARE-As we noted last night, a paucity of medical supplies hasn't stopped caregivers from doing their best. Dr. Richard Besser visited the General Hospital in Port-au-Prince today and notes "they have little to offer but their doors are open." Dr. Besser examined some of the children housed inside…"so many children here are suffering…from dehydration, open wounds and fractures." And the danger to children extends beyond those hurt in the earthquake and its' aftermath. Besser: "After the earthquake, water, food, making sure they have a safe place to be, sanitation. (These things) will determine whether these children who were not injured in the quake become its' next victims.
–U.S. GOVERNMENT-President Obama spoke about Haiti again today, in part to reassure the Haitian public that despite the hiccups, relief aid and the United States will be there for them. "It will take time to establish distribution points so that we can ensure that resources are delivered safely and effectively and in an orderly fashion," Obama said at the White House. "But I want the people of Haiti to know that we will do what it takes to save lives and to help them get back on their feet." At the Pentagon, the top U.S. military officer said up to 10,000 U.S. troops will be in Haiti or off its shores by Monday to help distribute aid and prevent potential rioting among desperate survivors. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Dr. Rajiv Shah, the White House's designated coordinator of the U.S. relief effort in Haiti, will travel to Port-au-Prince tomorrow. Clinton talked with reporters in Washington today. Kirit Radia sent out a note: "Clinton said that she and Shah had several goals for the trip.
– bringing in some aid with her
– bringing some American citizen evacuees back with her
– meeting with US officials (Ambassador etc)
– dropping off some US officials who can help
– meeting with Preval face to face (how to stand up the government again, etc)
– meeting with aid organization leaders on the ground"
U.S. GOVERNMENT GRANTS TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION STATUS FOR HAITIANS IN AMERICA-The Obama administration said Friday it will allow Haitians who were already in the U.S. illegally to remain because of their country's catastrophic earthquake. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano granted the temporary protected status today and told reporters on a conference call that the protection is only available to Haitians already in the country as of last Tuesday, and allows them to stay and work for 18 months.
MASS SPECIAL ELECTION: The push for health care reform is nearing the finish line. However the cause Ted Kennedy championed could be derailed — because a Republican may capture Kennedy's senate seat. Republican Scott Brown has created huge buzz with the help of conservative groups and tea party activists. He's raised more than a million dollars every day this week. Brown has tapped into voter anger over the economy. And most importantly, vowed to vote against the president's health care plan. A Brown victory would give Republicans a magic number 41 seats – enough to kill the health care bill. The Democrats are scrambling to save the senate campaign of Martha Coakley. The President said he will campaign in Massachusetts this weekend — hoping to hang onto a seat that once seemed a sure thing for the Democrats. (thanks to Jason Volack for this entry)
TYLENOL RECALL EXPANDED-Johnson & Johnson expanded a recall of over-the-counter medications Friday, the second time it has done so in less than a month because of a moldy smell that has made users sick. The broadening recall numbers some 60 million bottles and includes some batches of regular and extra-strength Tylenol children's Tylenol, eight-hour Tylenol, Tylenol arthritis, Tylenol PM, children's Motrin, Motrin IB, Benadryl Rolaids, Simply Sleep, and St. Joseph's aspirin. Caplet and geltab products sold in the Americas, the United Arab Emirates, and Fiji were recalled. The FDA slammed the company saying it should have acted faster.
FT. HOOD REVIEW-From WORLD NEWS: "Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said today the military is not prepared to prevent another incident like the shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. A review, commissioned by Gates, found the Army committed quote: 'significant' failures during the career of Major Nidal Hassan, the accused gunman. As many as 8 Army officers may be disciplined."
HEALTH CARE REFORM-No agreement yet on a final health care bill. That's the word this evening from White House spokesman Reid Cherlin who said in part "We've worked through the gamut of issues in great depth, but there are no final agreements and no overall package. The next step in the process is to evaluate the costs and savings associated with the various proposals for each tenet of the legislation." Tapper reports that "President Obama is not expected to hold or attend any additional health care meetings this weekend."
U.S. LIST OF DETAINEES IN AFGHANISTAN-The U.S. has released a long-secret list of some 645 detainees held at a military base in Afghanistan, providing the information as part of a lawsuit seeking details of the government's treatment of terror suspects.
BANK CLOSURES- Regulators have shut down two small banks in Illinois and Minnesota, the second and third bank failures of 2010 following 140 closures last year amid the weak economy and mounting loan defaults. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over St. Stephen State Bank of St. Stephen, Minn., with $24.7 million in assets and $23.4 million in deposits, and Town Community Bank and Trust, based in Antioch, Ill., with $69.6 million in assets and $67.4 million in deposits. First State Bank of St. Joseph, Minn., agreed to assume the assets and deposits of St. Stephen State Bank. First American Bank, based in Elk Grove Village, Ill., is buying the deposits and $67.6 million of the assets of Town Community Bank and Trust. The FDIC will retain the rest for sale.

"Haru, what's this for?" Makoto asked holding up a necklace he had just received. Green eyes investigated the necklace, inspecting the dark, yet clear green marble that sparkled against the light. Small pieces of metal wrapped around the marble holding it in place in a beautiful and artistic way. It was a small and simple green marble necklace, nothing too fancy or complicated, but still elegant in its own way, just like Haruka.
"I was cleaning out a closet when I found it. You can have it. There was also this one." Haruka tugged at something underneath his shirt, revealing a necklace that he had also been wearing. Much like the one Makoto had, the marble was small and had a vibrant shine in the light and together with the green gem formed a mix of complementary colors that both boys could only smile at.
Pulling the necklace past his hair and around his neck, Makoto's eyes became fixated on the gift Haruka had just given him. It wasn't often that his friend gave him a gift of any type, but when he did, Makoto treasured them. They were usually small gifts, but their sentimental value couldn't be compared to anything else. Haruka could pick a common and simple flower to give to Makoto, and he would still treasure it as if it were the only flower in the world.
"Thank you, Haru-chan! I'll be sure to take care of it." Makoto's words flowed with a sense of excitement as he flashed his usual smile at Haruka, who turned his head away in response, his cheeks slightly tinted in the process.
"Don't worry about it." Haruka mentioned as he started walking towards his kitchen, it was getting close to dinner time, and the teen wanted to get ready to make mackerel in miso. "Also, stop adding the -chan, we're not kids anymore."
As Haruka stepped into the kitchen, the sunlight shining in through the windows illuminated the marble necklace, creating a prism effect within the gem. Shades of blue and green danced inside the glass sphere. The colors caught green eyes, which lit up nearly as much as Haruka's necklace. Walking over towards Haru, coming into the light himself, Makoto's marble necklace began to shine as brilliantly as Haruka's blue one, showing off small tints of blue in the glass sea of emerald.
"They're bright." Haruka pointed out, bringing the marble up from his chest towards his face, looking in at the colors that looked like an ocean. A smile worked its way onto Haruka's face, softening his usually stoic expression. Glancing over towards Makoto, Haruka noticed the other teen staring into his respective necklace.
"Haru, you know blue and green are complimentary colors, right? It's amazing how well they get along together..." Makoto's voice trailed off into nearly a whisper as his gaze met Haruka's, and they looked deep into each other's eyes.
Leaning towards Makoto, Haruka's hand reached for the taller teen's hand, and laced their fingers together. "Yeah…"
The content moment between teens felt like it could have lasted forever, and neither would have minded. In their eyes, blue and green truly are complimentary colors.

OK, I won't drop the package if you can test NCPFS-2.2.6 (or later) against the current instructions using gcc-4.0.3, binutils-2.16.1, and linux-184.108.40.206 (or later) and glibc-2.3.6. If you don't have those, I can send you a compiled version of ncpfs that you could install and test. If that doesn't work out, we'll just drop the package from the book and put an entry in the wiki that the procedures build OK, but we have not way to test for proper operation. -- Bruce

Re: TE Weslye Saunders to Return after Week 5
Weslye Saunders' return from suspension means a cut is coming
By Neal Coolong on Oct 8
Saunders is the team's second tight end, it's highly likely either Leonard Pope or David Paulson will be released.
The image I have is second-year tight end Weslye Saunders stalking around the entrance of the South Side facility like a caged animal. He's more than ready to break his league-imposed vow of silence with the team, and re-join his team in the short week of work before taking on the Titans in Week 6 Thursday.
Roughly around the same time the building opens, they are likely to announce the release of a player to make room for Saunders on their active roster. (Update: Post-Gazette reporter Ed Bouchette noted the Steelers are able to request a roster exception this week, meaning, Saunders can be activated and can play in Thursday night's game, but they will not have to release a player to do that. He doesn't explain why they're able to make the request, or if they even did, but if they're able to, they certainly would have.)
The decision seems far less dramatic than that, however. The fact rookie David Paulson, and not Leonard Pope, served as the team's No. 2 tight end in a 16-14 victory over Philadelphia in Week 5 speaks for the situation.
Pope's release four games into the 2012 season seems imminent, making Paulson - the fourth 7th round draft pick to make the Steelers active roster since 2009 - a permanent member of the team.
And he did it with grit. Cutting his teeth on special teams, Paulson got his first career catch in Week 5, an eight-yard completion on 1st-and-20, the first positive play on the Steelers' nine-play, 51 yard drive that resulted in Shaun Suisham's game-winning field goal.
It seems un-Steeler-like to back up veteran Heath Miller (who went his first game without a touchdown reception in Week 5) with a second-year player and a rookie, but Pope hadn't exactly shown the kind of solid play expected from a veteran. He wasn't wretched, but Paulson showed his athleticism - a category in which the rookie leads by a healthy margin - on his reception, and has continued to grow with each passing game.
If anything, maybe Saunders should be worried about Paulson's development. As for the here and now, expect the Steelers to announce Pope's release whenever they will need to trim the roster.

Soot or carbon that seems extra heavy in the tail pipe and on the bottom of the tail pipe. It's actually "bled" to the underside or outside of the pipe. No performance issues, smells, dash lights ect. I've never noticed this before on this truck or others but to be honest I can't say I've ever really checked...so this could have been here all along.
Normal? Issue? Still well under warranty but since there is no performance issues etc figured why bother.
