Is that Dido's dacha on the picture?
Anyways, same story here - the Americans blame Bush for Katrina, while Russians and Dido blame Putin for the flooding, business as usual, nothing to see here.
Russia and Putin wil have a chance only in case of an extremely close alliance with Germany
Germany is the rightless outlaw and underdog in the rest of Europe.
So Russia can get back its old strength only by German technics and German support.
Russia has honesty and the the resources.
Both countries are the most hated countries in the world.
So the alliance is nothing but clear.
Putin knows very well.
It is a matter of months or only weeks and Germany will leave the euro-Zone including the coffee-meeting institution called of Nato and join with its best ally Germany ever had in its history.
Europe must disband and get again divided in two spheres as it has been a natural and just result seine 1945.
The iron curtain as a wall of defence against the Western warmongers was a necessity and a mere case of self-defence.
The Red Army was a guarantee for humanity and human rights.
Meawhile, on a pretext of attending a working meeting with Yanukovych in Yalta (trying to convince Yanek that Ukraine should join the proposed Eurasian trade block under Moscow leadership) Vlad Putin was seen preoccupied with a friendly visit to an annual mass ritual of Russian bikers in Sevastopol where he is well known. Some media even reported that, at the conclusion of his meetings with Yanukovych, Vlad Putin challenged him to a joint bike excursion on the rocky Crimean coast. No dates have been set.
Russian media has shown photos of Vlad Putin shaking hands with some Russian bikers while admiring their girlfriends attending their annual mass 'jamboree' near Sevastopol. Why not ask ('order' ?) those Russian bikers to donate a percentage of their 'jamboree' expenses to the flood victims who lost members of their families, their homes, other properties ?
Now the nature has given a better chance to the Western Media to blast Putin!
The West will blast Putin as less as they were blasting anyone.
The Red Army stood in East Germany more than 40 years and nobody of you Western cowards ever dared to start only the most inferior attack against the invincible Red Army.
You in the West you are nothing but a bunch of losing cowards.
Perhaps Russia will give you that kind of a lesson each of you needs.
Mr. Putin is not a fool as each of your ridiculous inept and monolingual politicians:)
Your politicians are not even good enough playing in an extremely lousy and sad comedy.
"Empty vessel sounds much".
May the dead rest in piece. Sir, this is a very ill-informed article. Please look on the map and you'll find Krymsk 80km away from Black Sea coast. Youll also find Neberdzhayevskoye reservoir between Novorossiysk and Krymsk and Varnavinskoe reservoir just above Krymsk. Pardon me for my language but only the stupid will believe officials saying a rapid rainfall created 7metre high wave that levelled the town. In a normal country we would witness unrest and at least jailing of local officials. Me personally, I'd hang that son of b**ch Tkachev if I was affected. May God save Russia (and CIS), locals will tolerate just about everything, centuries of slavery + USSR have had its impact. God, it's 170 dead due to negligence.
Where did you see the "7 metre wave"?
I didn't, that's what officials said and local media.
Incompetent administration
So, why didn't Putin's government prevent a devastation which had previously hit the same area in 2002 with flooding, taking some 100 lives. Alexander Tkachyov, governor of the Krasnodar region ten years ago took no preventive measures and had no early warning systems put in place.
With hours of warning of a possible disaster in Krymsk either Emergency Situations Minister Puchkov or Putin himself should have ordered an evacuation. But in Russia nobody cared.
Of course no one cared! All systems are destroyed. When about 20 years ago my father worked in municipal services and there was a risk of flood, they checked the water level in our water storage several times per day and were ready to start evacuation in any moment, although there was no risk of any such serious flood. But now in all municipal and government structures there are only people without any understanding of their duties and any wish to understand them. So if some day the Kremlin crashed down, they would say only "sorry, but what could we do?"
What happened to the companies of PUTIN-JUGEND from Moscow, Volgograd, Stavropol, Sochi, and other cities that were supposed to be always ready to come and help their LEADER-for life ( aka Fuehrer !)
"What happened to the companies of PUTIN-JUGEND from Moscow, Volgograd, Stavropol, Sochi..."
Nothing happened -- collecting aid for victims of the flood:
Molodaya Guardiya has done nothing to save drawning children in Saratov region !
Putin blamed the flooding on W...that's how Obama handled it in the US
According to the article, "At a tense meeting with victims and their families, Mr Tkachyov said of the warnings that never came, 'What, were we supposed to go up to each person? ' "
Ordering fire engines to blow horns, while circling the city would probably be sufficient. Why didn't he order this?
Ludwik Kowalski, who remembers frequent WWII alarms--GRAZHDANE WOZDUSHNAJA TREWOGA-- in 1941, when German airplanes were approaching.
May the dead rest in peace.
World weather catastrophes can be seen as simple problems of distribution: Some areas get too much water, others too much sun and heat, others too much wind, others not enough cold.
Parched areas of Africa, India, Mid East and the American South would have loved to have the Russian rains.
Global Warming can be seen as mis-distribution of cloud cover and rain. In America, while the Midwest and South bake => The West Coast, Alaska and Pacific Northwest are having record rainfall and a cooler summer.
Alternative solution to Global Warming: Redistribute the clouds, precipitation and cold fronts to areas of heat waves and drought.
Moving a Cloud is easier than moving a Continent.
But it's only possible to move clouds several dozen kilometres away, not thousands of kilometres.
But I like the idea =)
If you have your head in the clouds, that solution should be very simple
Actually, this kind of (God forgive my callousness) small scale disaster is probably every dictator's wet dream. I bet he will once again ride (bare-chested) to the rescue of his little people, while "punishing those responsible!" (some poor powerless local bureaucrats)
It works for 'leaders' of all political persuasions, and aspirations for that matter. Obama and the Colorado fires spring immediately to mind. No surprise that I see a lot of 'leaders' here since I live in the West. We have four seasons here in California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot. Leaders are always trooping around 'doing something' about it! (God alone knows what, we sure don't).
s/Frying in Hell, California.
Putin, here begins your count down.
This looks like the kind of situation that is made for Putin...

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
It's Dark In Here A married woman is having an affair. Whenever her lover comes over, she puts her 9-year-old son in the closet. One day the woman hears a car in the driveway and puts her lover in the closet as well. Inside the closet, the little boy says, "It's dark in here, isn't it?" "Yes it is," the man replies. "You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks. "No thanks," the man replies. "I think you do want to buy a baseball," the little extortionist continues. "Okay. How much?" the man asks after considering the position he is in. "25 dollars," the little boy replies. "25 DOLLARS?!" the man repeats incredulously, but complies to protect his hidden position. The following week, the lover is visiting the woman again when she hears a car in the driveway and, again, places her lover in the closet with her little boy. "It's dark in here, isn't it?" the boy starts off. "Yes it is," replies the man. "Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks. "Okay. How much?" the hiding lover responds, acknowledging his disadvantage. "50 dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is completed. The next weekend, the little boy's father says, "Hey, son. Go get your ball and glove and we'll play some catch." "I can't. I sold them," replies the little boy. "How much did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to hear the profit in terms of lizards and candy. "75 dollars," the little boy says. "75 DOLLARS?! That's thievery! I'm taking you to the church right now. You must confess your sin and ask for forgiveness, the father explains as he hauls the child away. At the church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws the curtain, sits down, and says "It's dark in here, isn't it?" "Don't you start that crap in here now," the priest replies.
The Wheelbarrow After hearing a couple's complaints that their intimate life wasn't what it used to be, the sex counselor suggested they vary their position. "For example," he suggested, "you might try the wheelbarrow. Lift her legs from behind and off you go." The eager husband was all for trying this new idea as soon as they got home. "Well, OK," the hesitant wife agreed, "but on two conditions. First, if it hurts you have to stop right away, and second..." she continued, "you have to promise we won't go past my parents' house."
Uncanny Resemblance One day in Ireland, two men were sitting in a pub, drinking some Guinness, when one turns to the other and says "You see that man over there? He looks just like me! I think I'm gonna go over there and talk to him." So, he goes over to the man and taps him on the shoulder: "Excuse me sir," he starts, "but I noticed you look just like me!" The second man turns around and says: "Yeah, I noticed the same thing, where you from?" "I'm from Dublin" he says. "Me too!" the second man says: "What street do you live on?" "McCarthy street" he says. "Me too!" the second man replies: "What number is it?" "162," he says. "Me too!" the second man exclaims: "What are your parents' names?" "Connor and Shannon", the man says. "Mine too!" the second man cries out: "This is unbelievable!" They buy some more Guinness and they're talking some more when the bartenders change shifts. The new bartender comes in and goes up to the other bartender and asks: "What's new today?" "Oh, nothing," the bartender replies: "The Murphy twins are drunk again."
Eternal Punishment A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment by the devil. As he passed raging fire pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer snuggling up to a beautiful woman. "That's unfair!" he cried: "I have to roast for all eternity, and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman." "Shut up," barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork: "Who are you to question that woman's punishment?"
Death Notice When her husband passed away, a wife put the usual death notice in the newspaper, but added that he had died of gonorrhea. Once the daily newspapers had been delivered, a good friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly: "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea." "Yes, I know that he died of diarrhea," the widow replied, "but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than as the big shit that he really was."
How Embarrassing The Queen was showing the Archbishop of Canterbury around the royal stable, when one of the stallions close by farted so loudly it couldn't be ignored. "Oh dear," said the Queen, "How embarrassing. I'm frightfully sorry about that." "It's quite understandable," said the Archbishop: "As a matter of fact, I thought it was the horse."

Kershaw set for final postseason tuneup vs. Rox
Dodgers ace looks to finish regular season with ERA under two
His second National League Cy Young Award seemingly a formality at this point, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw gets one more postseason tune up on Friday night against the Rockies -- his last start of the regular season.
With a 1.88 ERA entering Friday, Kershaw has a chance to become the first Dodgers pitcher to finish with an ERA below two since Sandy Koufax did so in his final season (1.73 ERA in 1966). Barring a significant meltdown, Kershaw is also a lock to become the first pitcher since Greg Maddux in 1993-95 to lead Major League Baseball in ERA three years in a row.
Kershaw will start Game 1 of the NL Division Series next Thursday, and his start against Colorado could go a long way toward determining just where he'll take the mound. By virtue of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Giants and Atlanta's win, the Dodgers would need to sweep the Rockies and have the Cardinals be swept by the Cubs in order to start the NL Division Series at home.
"It will be normal within reason," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Kershaw's pitch count for Friday's game. "Not 115 or 120 pitches."
Opposite Kershaw on Friday will be Rockies right-hander Collin McHugh (0-3, 8.59). He's coming off an outing in which the D-backs pounded him for six runs and 11 hits in five innings of work.
The 26-year-old McHugh has had a rough time as a starter throughout his career -- in eight starts, he's 0-6 with a 7.64 ERA.
Though McHugh has struggled a bit, Rockies manager Walt Weiss has been pleased with the improvement of his young arms this season.
"You turn on the TV in October, you're going to see a lot of good arms," Weiss said. "I think ultimately, you have to perform well on the mound. I think we've taken some strides, especially with the three starters, we've come a long way in that department. I feel like you can never have too many arms."
Rockies: Helton says goodbye
Todd Helton played his final game at Coors Field on Wednesday, as the first baseman who has spent his entire career with the Rockies is set to retire after the weekend series in Los Angeles.
"I'm at the point where I don't want to get my body to try to go through another season," Helton said. "Mentally, 17 years is enough. Physically, it's definitely enough. So I think I'm at peace with it."
Perhaps it's fitting that Helton's final games will come at Dodger Stadium. His 56 RBIs there are more than he has in any away ballpark, and his 107 hits and 13 home runs there are tied for first with Arizona's Chase Field.
Dodgers: Ethier resumes workouts
Cleared by doctors after Wednesday's MRI and CT scan, Andre Ethier resumed workouts on his injured left ankle on Thursday.
Ethier is able to hit, catch balls in the outfield and throw. Mattingly said the club will wait until next week to test Ethier on the bases, and determine his role, if any, in the first round of the playoffs.
"It doesn't mean we're not moving forward," Mattingly said. "I'm a little more encouraged today."
• Kershaw was named the winner of the eighth annual Roy Campanella Award, given to the Dodger who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame Brooklyn catcher.
Worth noting
• The Dodgers and Rockies have split their 16 meetings this season. Colorado hasn't taken a season series against L.A. since 2007.
• Rockies outfielder Dexter Fowler has hit Kershaw well, posting a .421 average in 38 at-bats.
• Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has 25 home runs this season, making him just the sixth shortstop in history with at least four 25-homer seasons.

It is bullshit.
He compares the performance of helloworld.php benchmarked on his server against a benchmark of a whole PHP framework compared by someone else on an entirely different machine with different configuration and settings. It says absolutely nothing!
Not the mention PHP support in G-WAN is useless. Just some basic core functionality works. It is not useful in the real world.
Plus, isn't G-WAN just stolen nginx code with some marketing behind?

Question: What if there are two really great special events in town for the same two days only? But one of those days is Monday, which is lovely for stay-at-home families, of which type we are not?
Answer: You have a very, very fun Sunday.
So, after the cake, before the theater, we went to the circus.
This one-ring circus troupe comes through town every year and sets up on the old hospital grounds, which is a big grassy field across the street from the new hospital grounds.
Has your front porch ever been 15 feet from an elephant and 25 feet from a portapotty, respectively?
We'd seen them set up every year but we'd never attended before.
We enjoyed ourselves so much that now I think it'll be an annual affair.
There were acrobats and tigers and the juggler and the balancing act and the ringmaster and cotton candy.
And there were horses and dogs and of course, elephants.
And clowns.
With really enviable eyelashes.

2012/2013 Bayern Munchen Season Long Thread - Treble Edition Posted by hendersonshands on 7/2 at 4:20 pm Tweezy, Polar Behr, etc. assemble! Additions: Xherdan Shaqiri, Claudio Pizarro, Mario Mandzukic, Dante, Tom Starke Departures: Nils Petersen (loan to Bremen), Olic (Wolfsburg), Danijel Pranjic (free agent, looks to be headed to Everton), Breno (crazy house or jail), Jorg Butt (retired). Other news: Christian Nerlinger was fired as Sporting Director and has been replaced with Matthias Sammer, who was the director of the German football federation for 6 years. LINK Some players were signed to professional contracts from the youth team, all are expected to spend most of their time with the reserves. Patrick Weihrauch 18 year old German striker. Mitchell Weiser 18 year old midfielder/wingback from Troisdorf, Germany. More of a winger playing defender but supposed to be a great talent. Lukas Raeder an 18 year old keeper signed from FC Schalke's setup. Very tall and looks to be a promising understudy. Emre Can, 18, signed a professional contract last year but is still very young and very promising. He should get some more first team chances with the injury situation with Bastian Schweinsteiger whose ankle hasn't healed properly. He's regarded as a very good midfielder who will be a longterm starter for Bayern. He was on the bench for a few games but Heynckes hates integrating new talent so he stayed on the bench. Should split his time between Bayern and Bayern II. Bayern begin training tomorrow, can't wait to hear how the new players are looking. The roster as it stands today: GK: 1 Manuel Neuer 22 Tom Starke 24 Maximilian Riedmüller 32 Lukas Raeder DEF: 4 Dante 5 Daniel van Buyten 13 Rafinha 17 Jérôme Boateng 21 Philipp Lahm 26 Diego Contento 28 Holger Badstuber MID: 7 Franck Ribéry 10 Arjen Robben 11 Xherdan Shaqiri 23 Mitchell Weiser 27 David Alaba (listed as a midfielder on the Bayern website, will probably be back at left back). 30 Luiz Gustavo 31 Bastian Schweinsteiger 36 Emre Can 39 Toni Kroos 44 Anatoliy Tymoshchuk FWD: 14 Claudio Pizarro 20 Patrick Weihrauch 25 Thomas Müller 33 Mario Gomez August 11 will be Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund in the Supercup at the Allianz Arena. I don't have the full schedule but it looks like the first half will be like this: Fürth(A) Stuttgart(H) Mainz(H) Schalke(A) Wolfsburg(H) Bremen(A) Hoffenheim(H) Düsseldorf(A) Leverkusen(H) Hamburg(A) Frankfurt(H) Nürnberg(A) Hannover(H) Freiburg(A) Dortmund(H) Augsburg(A) Gladbach(H).

Posted by Jumbeauxlaya on 7/2 at 4:56 pm to hendersonshands So since this is mostly an english board, this is where I show up to talk about my newly adopted Bundesliga club Dortmund right? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Tweezy on 7/2 at 4:59 pm to hendersonshands Mia San Mia. Harsh exit for Nerlinger, eh? I didn't mind him that much. The club is looking poised for a semi fresh start after last seasons lsu football esque ending Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Tweezy on 7/2 at 5:04 pm to Jumbeauxlaya You can talk about them but I can't assure you that anyone will care haha just kidding but I wouldn't mind this also being a semi bundesliga in general thread. I'm planning on diving head first this season. Past few years I've just watched bayern exclusively, but I'm going to try and follow the league as a whole and watch non bayern games this year. Wish me luck Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/2 at 5:08 pm to Jumbeauxlaya Yeah. We can make this a Bundesliga encompassing thread too. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by polarbehr on 7/2 at 5:10 pm to hendersonshands All aboard the pain train. It's time for retribution! triple threat time pokal bundesliga champions league that is one hell of a roster. GEAUX BAYERN! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Jumbeauxlaya on 7/2 at 5:13 pm to Tweezy Mostly messing with you all, but I am going to make an effort to watch a lot more of the league this year, and plan on picking up borussia Dortmund as my team based on my ancestors being from that area. Note: I lay no claim to the past championships, my fandom starts now.. As I know it probably looks bandwagoney to jump on them now.. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by polarbehr on 7/2 at 5:15 pm to Jumbeauxlaya quote: which is why you should ride with Bayern, its been a few years and this year will be magical Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Tweezy on 7/2 at 5:19 pm to Jumbeauxlaya Not that I'm really an expert or even very well informed about the bundesliga, I feel like there aren't any band wagon teams because of the way the clubs are run. Bayern has the most championships and Dortmund won the last two, but they are very anti man city type of clubs. Only 3 or 4 clubs are in debt and all but I think 2 are majority fan owned, the other two are owned by I think VW and maybe another car company. The league allows them to have a majority owner because they have always been run like than. Seems like a fun league, great fan attendance, decent parity. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/2 at 5:43 pm to Jumbeauxlaya Don't apologize for your choice. Borussia Dortmund will be great again this year. I hope it'll be another fun race to the finish line. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Jumbeauxlaya on 7/2 at 5:48 pm to hendersonshands Also they're the only current bundesliga team with any coaches or players in their history bearing the german spelling of my name What networks do I need to have in order to see more of these games? Or is it mostly streaming for the bundesliga. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Tweezy on 7/2 at 5:49 pm to Jumbeauxlaya Goltv and espn deportes will feature about 80% of bayern/dortmunds games. All else can be found on firstrowsports Eta espn3 has a decent amount of shite too that they opt not to show on deportes This post was edited on 7/2 at 5:50 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/2 at 5:51 pm to Jumbeauxlaya Like tweezy said, you'll need GolTv which is part of the latino package on cox I think. I think you get GolTV and ESPN Deportes for like $5/month. For the rest, you can use espn3.com or illegal streaming. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/3 at 12:45 pm to hendersonshands According to Bild, Bayern don't wanna pay more than 25 mil for Javi Martinez. Yann M'Vila has been referenced as a backup plan. I'd rather a player like Cabaye. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by acgeaux129 on 7/3 at 1:19 pm to hendersonshands I'm not German at all but I've started to follow Bayern and the national team a little bit because I love watching them play. I only really got to see Bayern play UCL games, may have caught one Bundesliga game. What's the best way to watch Bundesliga games in English since they aren't on FSC? Also, do y'all know of any upcoming plans or deals for broadcasting the league in the future? This post was edited on 7/3 at 1:20 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by GeauxColonels on 7/3 at 1:21 pm to hendersonshands Bayern got my hopes up and then crushed them violently as I watched helplessly. Cannot bring myself to support them. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/3 at 1:38 pm to acgeaux129 Check the replies in the thread, we went over it. You need Goltv, ESPN3 and illegal streamsReply Back to Top |
Posted by acgeaux129 on 7/3 at 1:47 pm to hendersonshands well shit, should have read through the whole way. my bad. I'm guessing there's nothing in the works for English speaking people to watch the league?Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hendersonshands on 7/3 at 1:52 pm to acgeaux129 GOLTV and ESPN3 are in English. You can find some english streams too. Reply Back to Top |

Here is an application that is truly off the shelf.
There are several cordless drill manufacturers that make a drill and transmission that can be used with subs that have a large prop of high pitch.
Makita and Dewalt,those 2 have models that the motor and transmission are mounted together instead of the outer casing holding them together.
Makita model number 6313D
Why would I use such a drive?
Well for one thing I wanted an efecient motor that would not consume a lot of juice and that would last a long time.Readaly avaialable parts.
Also safe for the radio ,on one sub no need to ser press the RIF.
These motors are made specifically for high efficiency and torque as well as speed and yet will not overheat.
Some have dual ball bearings ,replaceable carbon brushes and rare earth magnets.
They also are made to start rotation with a low voltage input.
Also virtually no maintenance just check the brushes once in a while.
Since there are so many types I have not measured the amps but in general its pretty low.
The next advantage is that the trany usually a planetary 2 or 3 speed unit with up to 5 planetary gears made form nylon or metal and greased sealed in.
Some have ball bearings and thrust bearings made for some serious service!
In my application I found that the high speed gear setting gave the speed and torque required for the 2 types of props I run ,one is a 5.5 inch monster ,7 bladed weed cutter.It has a moderate pitch.
Its used on the Robbe U-31 and I get at a normal walking speed a 2 hour run time with 2 8 amp hour batteries with ser facing and diving several times.
The other drive is in the 5 ft Alfa it has a Makita all bearingized unit,it cost more about 100.00$ for the hole drive but it will last for many years.
The one pictured is the Makita ,this one was in a pod that developed a leak,was wet for months and yet is still fully serviceable!
The Alfa also gets about the same run time.
If you want very slow ,smooth operation and the power to turn large diameter and high pitch props that will give you plenty of power and I mean a lot of thrust without overheating or straining the drive than drill motors and there drives are the ticket.
Selectable gear ranges,built in clutch,I did not mention that,the clutch is a great feature and has saved my drive many times,just set the adjuster to where you would feel is best and if your prop gets fouled in a branch or fishing line the clutch will make a clicking sound that will alert you and save the drive line or even prevent the ESC from damage.
Regular ESCs can be used but at least a 30 amp or above would be recommended.
To mount the drive I used a metal conduit clamp on a flat sheet of metal or equipment tray,bolted in place with a water cooling coil and rubber sheet to make the grip.
On the U-31 it was mounted inside of the frame where the motor is normally mounted ,just removed one of the cross beams and secured the unit with 4 screws at the points showed in the picture.
To attach the drive shaft ,the screw that holds the chuck in place is turned down or ground to remove the head and that leaves a 3/16 stud that can be used with a standard U joint or adapter then to any size shaft you might have .I use 3/16 in on mine.
Be sure to flatten the set screw points on the shaft as there is a lot of torque.
When you get the drive you will have to secure the gear shift lever in the 2nd gear position and insert a screw into the clutch adjuster ring if not the balls will fall out,I can give more details about this proceedure.It is not necessary to order the clutch adjuster knob,that is the bell shaped plastic part that has all the numbers on it.
I water cool all of my subs to insure that the motor will run cool and now with the Telemetry system I can see the benefits in real time.
I ran a regular can motor that I use 550 RH with water cooling for a normal run and prop on a Red Shark .The temp went up to 99 F .
I then ran the same unit without the water cooling system working ,the temp went up to 118 F.
A noticeable lesser run time of about 20 min.
Water cooling is a great benefit for my subs and is highly recommended and is easy to build into your system in most cases.
A gear pump is driven by the main shaft or motor shaft to circulate a water antifreeze mix in a sealed loop to the out side wet cooling coil then back again.
Virtually no maintenance and simple.
On the U-31 the motor temp gets to 99 F at normal cruise speed ,walking speed not bad for a sub that has such a blunt bow and weighs in at 40 lbs.
Also there are cheaper drill drives that are smaller but don't have the 2 speed trany and will not turn fast enough.
The RPM of the above drives is 1400 at 12 vdc and is plenty of power for any large sub.
If you like I can set one up for you,ready to be installed, water cooled or not,for a small fee.
Dave Amur Sub Yard
To get the drill drives go to your local power tool repair shop or online at
And the Dewalt

Hi steinberger forumers!
The question is in the topic, in fact i've recently got audiobus and jamup xt pro. Nice combination with Cubasis by the way!
But the guitar recorded on cubasis using jamup via audiobus is on stereo track. For most of my prupose I just need mono guitar event, so stereo is useless here. Of course i can change the pan track but keeping some sterero event for a mono purpose will take some memory for nothing and i'm using a lot of guitar tracks on my projects.
So I'm wondering if there a way to record only on mono via audiobus, or if I can convert the stereo event into a mono event on cubasis?

NBBJ released new renderings and plans of Amazon's downtown Seattle campus in August during a Design Review Board (DRB) meeting. Amazon has already purchased three blocks in the underdeveloped Denny Triangle area in between South Lake Union and the commercial core. The plans show three 37-story towers complimented with lower volumes, open space, parks, green roofs and art installations. Amazon is seeking variances from the city for some of the street alignments and in return will be expected to add back to the city in terms of community amenities – possibly public plazas, a playground or even a dog park.
As for sustainability, no word yet on the level of green building certifications the company is expected to reach for, but all we have to say is they better aim high. From the plans unveiled at the DRB meeting, we can tell there are plenty of green roof spaces as well as efficient glazing to provide natural daylighting. Underground parking will keep cars off the street and the company will provide bike parking and locker rooms to encourage pedal-powered transportation. Most importantly, Amazon's choice to build their huge new campus in downtown Seattle rather than a suburb encourages sustainable travel, will help invigorate the city and promote urban living. The project is expected to begin construction sometime in 2013 and could take up to 8 years to complete.

Interesting project, but no north arrows on the drawings or other indication of building orientation on the renderings. Since orientation is critical to sustainable design, knowing that would make it more possible to evaluate the design.

Even if you beat 'em, join 'em? Super Bowl XLVII hero Anquan Boldin, left, is now a San Francisco 49er. / Jack Gruber, USA TODAY Sports
Baltimore Ravens receiver Torrey Smith couldn't believe the shocking news Monday that fellow wideout Anquan Boldin had been traded to the San Francisco 49ers, the team Boldin helped the Ravens defeat in their 34-31 Super Bowl XLVII victory last month.
"Anquan Boldin traded to 49ers for a sixth-round pick ... WHAT!!!'' Smith wrote on his Twitter account.
"This business is BS at times.''
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco urged Boldin in a Saturday conversation with USA TODAY Sports' Robert Klemko to stick to his guns, and now he's the newest member of the 49ers for standing on principle.
Boldin was traded for a sixth-round pick, a person with knowledge of the transaction told USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because the trade is not official, pending a physical.
The trade ends the back-and-forth drama between Boldin and the Ravens. Boldin, who is scheduled to earn $6 million this season, balked at a pay cut, telling USA TODAY Sports he was unwilling to reduce his salary in order to stay with the team. He caught 22 postseason passes for 380 yards with four touchdowns, including six catches for 104 yards and a score in the Super Bowl.
"At no point, no matter how well I played would I come back to the table and say, 'I need more money,' '' Boldin told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday. "The contract that I signed was the contract that I intended to play out.''
At that time, Boldin also backpedaled from an earlier claim that he would retire if he couldn't return to the Ravens.
Now he will play out that contract in San Francisco.
Boldin led the Ravens in receiving yards the past three seasons since arriving in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals. Now Flacco, who urged Boldin to "stick to his guns" in the contract dispute, will have to find rapport with a new No. 1 target, something he'd hoped to avoid.
"Without him, we don't win the Super Bowl. He's a huge part of this team and someone I want to see back," Flacco told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday.
The deal also adds fuel to the NFC West rivalry between the Seattle Seahawks and 49ers. Only hours after the Seahawks pulled off a trade with the Minnesota Vikings for wide receiver Percy Harvin, the Niners countered with Boldin.
Boldin caught 22 postseason passes for 380 yards and four touchdowns, including six catches for 104 yards and a TD in the Super Bowl.
Boldin, 32, caught 65 passes for 921 yards last season, and was scheduled to count $7.531 million against the salary cap in 2013. The Ravens have been looking to create cap space to re-sign linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, a projected free agent, while also filling other needs.

Whether you're looking to shoot product pics, or just want to learn more about photography, you will benefit from Caro's upbeat, irreverent and detailed instruction.
Meet Caro Sheridan, who will show you how to photograph your craft and art products to build your craft business.

It also made me more comfortable with using my photo editing software. Caro is a pleasant speaker and I enjoyed learning from her."

Chicago Fire
Miss Saturday night's 2-0 win over D.C. United?
Catch the highlights below:
Select shots from the Fire's 2-0 win over D.C.
Following last week's mic'd up session with Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire videographer Leo Flores decided to give Clint Mathis a chance on the mic Thursday in Bradenton.
While Fire Strength and Conditioning Coach Tony Jouaux took the team through their warmups during the afternoon session, Mathis, Flores and Yallop colluded to play a prank on myself and Fire Press Officer Eunice Kim.
If you would have told 15-year-old Jeff Crandall that one day Clint Mathis would be punking him on camera, he wouldn't have believed you...
Today's Numbers Game features a switch as second-year Fire midfielder Dilly Duka will now wear the #11. Acquired from Columbus this time last year in exchange for Dominic Oduro, the pair took each other's numbers when they got to their new clubs (Duka taking 8, Oduro taking 11 in Columbus).
This year, with the Crew's #8 shirt vacant, Oduro has switched back to his regular number while Duka completes the swap. Coincidentally, #11 became available at the Fire when the team traded Daniel Paladini to Columbus back in December.
"Number 11 is what I've worn going back to youth soccer," Duka said. "It's what I'm familiar with, it's part of me as a player."
Meanwhile, fresh off scoring the game-winner in Sunday's friendly vs. Florida Gulf Coast Univesity, Giuseppe Gentile becomes the first player in Fire history to wear #92.
The dual Swiss-American citizen, who also happens to speak four languages and also shares a name with an Olympic triple jumper, went the Kellen Gulley route in choosing his number according to the year he was born, 1992.
So with that, we have two trivia questions for today…

The Numbers Game rolls on Tuesday with the latest contestants being the center back duo of Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni, who were recently acquired from the Seattle Sounders in a trade that sent Jalil Anibaba the other way.
Let's start with the Hurtado. The 29-year-old center back will continue to don the same #34 he wore for five seasons in Cascadia. Asked why he's chosen a somewhat "off the beaten path" soccer number, Hurtado explained 34 was the number he was given when trialing with AC Milan in early 2009.
"The opportunity was a special one and it's stayed with me ever since," he told Chicago-Fire.com last week.
Though 34 isn't the most common soccer number, two Fire players have worn it before. Former Trinidad & Tobago international Osei Telesford was the club's #34 in 2007 while Austin Washington wore it from 2008-2009.
Meanwhile, Ianni has chosen to suit up wearing the #6 for the Fire this season. Interestingly, Ianni and Anibaba weren't just in part swapped for each other but they've also taken one another's number at their new club as the former Fire defender will suit up as Seattle's #4 this season.
Asked about the choice of #6, Ianni said, "I just wanted a lower, defender's number," but the only two digits that fit the criteria for the Fire were #2 and #6.
Althought the #2 is free for anyone to choose, Ianni says he took into account the legacy of assistant coach C.J. Brown's 13 years wearing #2 for the Men in Red and the fact that it's only been worn one other time for 27 minutes by another Fire player (Wells Thompson in 2012).
In the end, the choice was simple.
"I have a ton of respect for what C.J. did here wearing that number and what that means to Fire supporters. The six shirt suits me just fine."
QUESTION: Ianni becomes the ninth player in Fire history to wear #6 for the Men in Red. How many of the other eight can you name? (SCROLL BELOW FOR THE ANSWER).
ANSWER: Brian Bates (1998), Tom Soehn (1998-2000), Sergi Daniv (2001), Kelly Gray (2002-2005), Brandon Prideaux (2008-2009), Julio Martinez (2010), Peter Lowry (2010), Jalil Anibaba (2011-2013).
On the first day of full training in Ave Maria last week, we mic'd up head coach Frank Yallop for a forthcoming preseason documentary.
What he hadn't planned on was the Ave Maria groundskeeper doing us a solid by mis-timing the sprinklers...
Watch Frank's reaction below and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos throughout 2014 preseason
The final day of training in Ave Maria saw a spirited hour and a half session before the coaching staff held a Q&A with members of the Florida Fire Juniors club. See photos of the day's proceedings below:
After nearly a month of training camp and an early January trip to Brazil, Fire forward Mike Magee and goalkeeper Sean Johnson are set for Saturday afternoon's U.S. friendly vs. South Korea at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
For Johnson, January camp has become part of his preseason routine, while Magee's only been to one previous camp, way back in 2005. The 2013 MLS MVP spoke to ESPNFC's Doug McIntyre about his hopes of finally receiving his first U.S. cap at the age of 29 on Saturday and goal of making the U.S. team for this summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Catch the U.S. take on South Korea Saturday at 4:00pm CT on ESPN2, Watch ESPN and Unimas.
UPDATE: U.S. Soccer has announced Magee will not dress for today's friendly due to food poisoning. I don't even know what to say. We love you Mike, feel better.
New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
As Sunday's first preseason friendly vs. Florida Gulf Coast University approaches, more number choices are being made.
Today's "Numbers Game" features the club's two new Homegrown players Chris Ritter and Harry Shipp who have chosen #21 and #19 respectively. Asked if their was any significance behind their number choice, both said, "No, not really."
Thanks guys!
The #19 shirt has been worn by nine players previously and was actually worn by six different player's in the club's first five years. Those were Josh Keller, Jeff Zaun, Yuri Lavrinenko, Chad Prince and David Vaudreuil before Craig Capano donned the shirt from 2002-2004. Jim Curtin's little brother Jeff wore #19 in 2007 while Corben Bone was the most recent #19 from 2010-2013.
Most notably, Chad Barrett (pictured above) switched to the #19 shirt in 2008 when the club acquired Tomasz Frankowski who moved into the #9 shirt. Barrett wore #19 for half a season before being dealt to Toronto FC in the Brian McBride trade that August. So in closing, Harry has the chance to really make #19 his own.
Conversely, Ritter is just the fourth player in club history to wear the #21 shirt. Michael Videira most recently wore it the past three seasons but before him, two of the club's top offensive leaders wore #21.
They were...
Dema Kovalenko (1999-2002)
Justin Mapp (2003-2010)
Coincidentally, the Fire acquired Mapp from D.C. United for Dema Kovalenko prior to the start of the 2003 MLS campaign. Kovalenko sits fourth on the club's All Competitions goal scoring list with 26, while Mapp sits fourth on the All Competitions assists list with 35.

I continue to read my way through this year's Notable Books List from the American Library Association.
Last night I finished "The Ten Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet" by David Mitchell. And I was sad to reach the last page. What an intriguing novel.
The story begins in 1799, on the island of Dejima, just off of Nagasaki, Japan. The island is where the Dutch are allowed, and just about the only place where they are allowed, to run the Dutch India Company. The closed-in society of just a few Europeans, their Japanese translators, and other officials, is the context for intense relationships. Many of the scenes happen aboard ship, another closed-in space. Must of the action happens in the first few years, but then Mitchell fast-forward to the end of Jacob's life, back in Europe.
Jacob is an honest man, which doesn't serve his career well. He falls in love with a fascinating woman, a midwife with a burned face. He secretly proposes to her, not realizing that the messenger he's chosen is in love with her too. She's kidnapped away. He endures. He becomes renowned for his courage when he stands firm in an observation tower while a British ship's cannons attack Nijima.
David Mitchell crafts this very powerfully--I've been trying to think of how to describe this. The plot is one thing, but the machinations of the people, the ways that they must operate when communication can't be direct, create all kinds of confusion and bewilderment. The cultures collide in countless ways. Into the mix come the distance from home, and fierce hopes for success.
Following up on my complaints about long books, I should note that I didn't sense any sagging in the middle of this book's 479 pages. It holds up well.
I salute David Mitchell for his ability to write such varied stories. I'd forgotten that he wrote "Black Swan Green," a lovely Notable Book from 2007, a book about a contemporary British boy. HIs "Cloud Atlas" was also "notabled" in 2005. Really, his books are quintessential Notables. They are one-of-a-kind stories, with almost nothing predictable, and with plenty that deeply resonates and resolves.
I'll recommend this to people who love literary fiction, who are interested in history or in Asia, and to readers who yearn for something uniquely good.

L'ÉTOILE (The Star)
Emmanuel Chabrier
1841 – 1894
Opéra-bouffe in three acts
Libretto by Eugène Leterrier and Albert Vanloo
First performed November 28th 1877, Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, Paris
Sung in French with German surtitles
Duration: c. 2 3/4 hrs. incl. one interval
About the piece
Every year King Ouf I celebrates his name day with a public execution. This year, struggling to find a victim, he comes across one more or less by chance: Lazuli, a peddlar, who has fallen in love with Princess Laoula, the King's intended bride. When the royal astrologer announces that Ouf's fate is closely linked with Lazuli's, and that the King must die 24 hours after Lazuli breathes his last, the plan is changed: the peddlar is brought to court and treated royaly and, in the end, is even allowed to marry the princess.
The world premiere of Emmanuel Chabrier's Opéra bouffe L'Étoile was a great success with public and press but it vanished from the repertoire after only 48 performances – either the singers were ill or, as is more likely, because after the 50th performance the composer and librettist would have earned the lion's share of the royalties instead of the theatre... L'Étoile, all but forgotten in the 19th century, was still only a secret tip for French operetta experts and rarely performed in the 20th century.

text: The Real Girl's Guide To Wearing A Crop Top Trend Trial | 03.25.14 by Kat Collings share it Tweet comment 1 of 21 PHOTO: Pepe Leon The abbreviated number strikes fear into the hearts of many (including mine), but in the spirit of testing out every trend, I knew I couldn't sit this one out. My mission? Find two ways to wear a crop top so that you feel confident without a second thought about hitting the gym. Read on for my tips on how to execute the look with ease, sans any sucking in. 2 of 21 PHOTO: Pepe Leon 3 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Night Out, A.L.C., Nasty Gal PHOTO: Pepe Leon Unless you have the abs of a Tracy Anderson or the self-confidence of a Tracy Flick, you might balk at the idea of wearing a crop top. But when paired with a high-waisted skirt or pants, the look feels a lot more approachable. If the sliver of skin still feels like too much, add a blazer on top so the window of visible stomach is even smaller. This way, the effect is almost more like a subtle cut-out, rather than baring your entire mid-section. What I Wore: Nasty Gal Rapid Motion Bustier ($48); Loft Petite Matte Stretch Twill Open Blazer ($118) in Black; A.L.C. Striped Knit Campbell Skirt ($395, available in black and white); Guess Lamber Lucite Chunky Heel Slides ($110) in White Leather; Anya Hindmarch Duke Clutch ($1,995) in Shagreen In Clementine; Westward Leaning Wintermute N°10.5 Mirror Sunglasses ($210) in Shiny Black and Matte; Jennifer Fisher x Stop It Right Now Ring ($100) in Yellow Gold; Jennifer Fisher Oversized Curb Chain Cuff ($1,085); Jennifer Fisher Single Medium Safety Pin Earring ($400); Jennifer Fisher XL Double Nail Cuff ($1,230); Kathleeen Whitaker Small Dot Earring ($40). 4 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Night Out, A.L.C., Nasty Gal PHOTO: Pepe Leon When picking a bag, resist going for a matchy-matchy look, and try selecting a contrasting color to make your outfit feel more dynamic. Tip: to find the ideal shade, use a color wheel to locate the hue opposite one of the main colors in your outfit. For example, orange is across from blue and green, so I knew the tangerine clutch would pair well with my striped skirt. 5 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Night Out, Nasty Gal, A.L.C. PHOTO: Pepe Leon Lest the inherently edgy crop top feel too tame when paired with a pencil skirt and blazer, I added a hint of punk via safety pin earrings. 6 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Night Out, bustier, Black blazer PHOTO: Pepe Leon From behind, my outfit looks completely conservative, yet when I turn around, the peek of skin adds a bold touch. 7 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Night Out, bustier, Black blazer PHOTO: Pepe Leon A wooden heel feels in step with the spring season. 8 of 21 PHOTO: Pepe Leon 9 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, bra top, white t-shirt PHOTO: Pepe Leon For those who feel uncomfortable baring any part of their midsection, there's an easy solution: layer a t-shirt underneath the bustier. The '90s-inspired look is perfect for a more casual ensemble and feels like a fashion-forward interpretation of the trend. Case in point: street style darling, Taylor Tomasi-Hill, is a fan of the styling trick. What I Wore: Nasty Gal Rapid Motion Bustier ($48); Rag & Bone Genesis V-Neck ($125) in Bright White; Levi's 501 Jeans ($122) in Slash; IRO Ashville Leather Biker Jacket ($1,274); Cole Haan Bowdin Small Backpack ($278) in Black; Belle by Sigerson Morrison Eris Mules ($225) in Black; Westward Leaning Mercury Seven N°3.3 Sunglasses ($210) in Aluminum; The 2Bandits North Star Ring ($98) in Antique Silver; Valentina Kova Sasha Glauka Necklace ($372) in Sterling Silver; Rue Gembon Paige Necklace ($45) in Silver. 10 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, biker jacket, White Shirt PHOTO: Pepe Leon Whenever I'm accessorizing an edgier look, I usually opt for layering silver jewelry, as it lends a cool-girl quality to the outfit. 11 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, biker jacket, White Shirt PHOTO: Pepe Leon With any piece you're feeling unsure about, it helps to take along a cover-up, like my blush-colored biker jacket, that you can throw on to take the spotlight off the daring crop top. This way, the trend is just part of the overall look, not the main event. 12 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, biker jacket, White Shirt PHOTO: Pepe Leon After much trial and error, I found the ideal white t-shirt has a slightly looser fit, but is still tight enough that it skims the body. The neckline should also be a scoop or a v-neck—crew necks need not apply! Lastly, roll up the sleeves for a lived-in look. 13 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, bustier, White Shirt PHOTO: Pepe Leon If you haven't heard, mules are totally having a moment. The best part? They pair just as well with slouchy denim in an off-duty outfit like the one I'm wearing, as they do with a polished midi skirt for the office. 14 of 21 More crop top inspiration, right this way. 15 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, Balenciaga, black clutch PHOTO: Fashion Vibe A crop top plus a circle skirt make a particularly girly pairing. Finish the look with moto boots for a touch of edge. Photo courtesy of Fashion Vibe 16 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, Karla Deras, blue skirt PHOTO: Karla's Closet A halter-style top will lend a '90s vibe to your ensemble. Photo courtesy of Karla's Closet 17 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, Nicole Warne, bustier PHOTO: Gary Pepper Girl High-waisted pencil skirts and cropped bra tops are a match made in style heaven. Photo courtesy of Gary Pepper 18 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, Hanneli Mustaparta, cropped top PHOTO: Hanneli Go minimalist with a simple black crop top and high-waisted skirt. Image courtesy of Hanneli 19 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, Metallic, fuzzy sweater PHOTO: Kenzas A sweater with a curved hem (short in front and longer on the sides) is a genius way to limit the section of visible midsection. Photo courtesy of Kenzas 20 of 21 EXPLORE: Street Style, Casual, cropped top, platform heels PHOTO: Style Scrapbook For those who shy away from showing skin, opt for a crisp button-down underneath your top.
