New NASA pics show Apollo astronauts' footpaths on the moon
A close-up of the Apollo 17 descent stage, as photographed by LROC
Article Summary
True story: when I was a little kid and was at an observatory looking at the Moon through a telescope, I loudly proclaimed "I think I can see one of the moon buggies!" Everyone laughed, and I felt stupid. Well, several decades later, I've been somewhat vindicated. Although it's not an earthbound telescope, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) did recently capture images of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. The Apollo 17 lunar rover is indeed visible, as are the descent stages of the three spacecraft, and foot paths made by the astronauts.

The Thunder wanted this game badly.
Did they want it AS BADLY? Of course not, that's why they lost.
actually I think they did want it AS BADLY. Think about this, OKC is tops in the West and in the end will probably finish #1 or #2 in the West. The Lakers, when playing well, are a top 4 team in the league who will now be fighting for a #6-8 spot in the playoffs. OKC does not want any part of LA, let alone a hot LA, team as the #8 seed in the playoffs. A win, especially a convincing one, would of kept all the rumblings and self-doubt in LA. Now, the talk is about how LA very well may have turned the corner. I really think they wanted to be the last slit of the knife on the Lakers throats but instead they stitched a lot of wounds on this LA team. Fear is seeping into the West right now.

We were in the city we gon scream HANH
door Marcus "GODD" Brewer
27 april 2006
9 more definitions
A term the Ying Yang Twins use in most of their songs, they even made a song called Hanh! on Me & My Brother. In the context it's used in the song 'Hanh!', it's used to mean 'no other' or 'a mother (see example 1)' also, in the chorus, it's used to mean 'wtf?!' I think, as far as I can tell, either that or it means 'nag' (see example 2)
1 "Nigga's stay crunk like HANH!" -Ying Yang Twins, Hanh!
2 "Think we ain't crunk, they think we playin, all around the world that's what they sayin' Hanh! (several different times)"
2 "Think we ain't crunk, they think we playin, all around the world that's what they sayin' Hanh! (several different times)"

Hanh! is an expression to display excitement. It is a crunk word created by the Ying Yang Twins D-roc and Kaine. You would use it like in the club to let every one know that you are ready to get crunk.
If you play football with some friends, when you score a touchdown, Hanh! might be a word you would use to let your adversaries know that you are really into the game.

The NF3 arrived on Monday. I barely had a chance to pull it out of the case - I gave it a quick look over and it looked like the PTC did a great job.
I finally got to play with it tonight. I changed the strings and tweaked the setup - felt great! I plugged it into my rig and this thing kills! The Floyd and other changes really brought this guitar to life. The neck pickup is about as Strat like as I could hope for. The middle position has this very unique tone - it's got the hollowness you'd expect from an in-between position but it still remains very full. The 5909 in the bridge is great - notes ring very clear even with higher gain settings. It really is a blast to play! So far I'm very happy!
Thanks Skitchy, Shawn, and the rest of the PTC crew!

19.10.2013 /
Three times Dakar Rally winner Marc Coma wrapped up his week's campaign in the OilLibya Rally of Morocco on Saturday, narrowly missing first place overall by 3:44 minutes to eventual winner Paulo Goncalves of Portugal. Coma also placed second in the 2013 World Cross Countries Rallies Championship.
But while Marc Coma had to concede overall victory after a hard fought battle, the event was still a very strong result overall for both the KTM Factory Team and its support riders. They all delivered impressive results, and above all, were extremely pleased with the performance of the newly rolled out KTM 450 Rally factory bike, which made its first competitive appearance in Morocco.
Factory Team Manager Alex Doringer was particularly upbeat at the end of the event: "The positive thing is that our new bike really proved the quality it is! I am super pumped and very proud of what we have built. Dakar is coming soon and we are on the right track to fight for another victory." Doringer added that in the Dakar 2014, KTM expected good performances from its factory team riders Marc Coma, Chaleco Lopez, Ruben Faria and Kurt Caselli and from support riders Ben Grabham of Australia and South African Riaan van Niekerk.
The week also ended on a high for Grabham (KTM Australia) when he won the final stage and jumped three places in the overall standings from ninth to sixth. Also for Caselli, the team's American rider who was third in Stage Six just 2:41 minutes behind the leader Grabham and seventh overall despite having picked up a 20 minute penalty on the opening day for missing a waypoint.
Coma had started strongly on the final day in what was perhaps the most difficult stage of this year's edition and had almost trimmed his time deficit completely when things went sour after CP1. Even Coma's rich experience was not enough to make up the time after he made a navigation error. By CP2 he had conceded 2:40 minutes to Gonclaves and by the end of the stage he trailed his rival by 3:44 minutes, still good enough to secure second place in both the rally and the World Championship.
After missing the Dakar 2013 through a shoulder injury from the Morocco Rally in 2012, Coma had started the World Championship series strongly by winning the first three rounds in United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Sardinia. With podiums in the South American rounds, he then went into the final round with a narrow three-point lead over Goncalves.
The Morocco Rally was also a strong event for factory rider Chaleco Lopez, who despite some difficulties on the final day finished fourth overall, and for both Caselli and Grabham. Caselli was drafted in at the last minute to race for the injured Coma in Dakar 2013 and has since been named as a full factory rider for KTM. Grabham also made his Dakar Rally debut in 2013, a remarkable feat as just one year before he had suffered serious back injuries when he hit a kangaroo at high speed in an offroad event in Australia. Grabham is one of the most highly decorated offroad riders in Australia and is a KTM Australia support rider. Support rider Riaan van Niekerk of South Africa was also promising, steadily moving up the overall standings after each stage to finally finish twelfth.
The unluckiest member of the team was factory rider Ruben Faria of Portugal who was still dealing with the consequences of a fractured hand from the Rally dos Sertoes in Brazil in August. He was experiencing a lot of pain and rider and team jointly decided after Stage Three that he should withdraw to concentrate on getting fit for the Dakar.

Deloitte says award winners were selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2007 to 2011. For the 17th consecutive year, there are more software companies on the Technology Fast 500 than any other single sector.
Four Northeast Ohio companies made the list:
, a software company in Akron, with fiscal 2007-2011 revenue growth of 503%, good enough to rank No. 182 on the list
OverDrive Inc.
, a digital media software company in Valley View, with revenue growth of 382%, placing No. 221 on the list
Athersys Inc.
, a biotech/pharmaceutical company in Cleveland, with revenue growth of 217%, good for No. 351
Hyland Software
of Westlake, with revenue growth of 131%, putting it No. 495 on the Deloitte list.

Because of the additional production, he said, "Duvinage expects to add 50 more jobs in Hagerstown in the next five years — and possibly more, as the economy improves," the newspaper reports.
Duvinage had 47 employees in 2007, before the recession, but that count had fallen to 20 by last year. After hiring three of Sharon Stairs' workers, Duvinage now has 25 employees, according to the newspaper.
Sharon Stairs, also known as Worthington Metal Fabricators, makes egress stairs, which lead from floor to floor in office buildings, hotels and similar structures.
Mr. Maruszewski tells the newspaper that when Duvinage learned last April that Sharon Stairs' owners planned to close the company, he asked about buying the brand and the design.
Sharon Stairs had a backload of business orders to get through, the paper reports, "so Duvinage agreed to buy the business, the equipment and the inventory."
Remember us?
should not come as a surprise: Businessweek.com says that a new
commissioned by the Small Business Administration finds that "government bailouts for banks did little to relieve the credit crunch for Main Street companies."
Indeed, "banks that took taxpayer money during the financial crisis of 2008-09 cut their lending to small businesses more than other banks did," the website reports, based on research by Rebel Cole, a DePaul University economist.
Small business loans outstanding "dropped 18 percent, from a peak of $659 billion in 2008 to $543 billion in 2011, according to Cole's analysis," Businessweek.com reports. "TARP banks cut their lending to small businesses by 21 percent in that period, compared to a 14 percent drop at other banks."
In an interview, Prof. Cole said the bank bailout amounted to "a bait and switch." The U.S. government, he says, asked banks "to lend that money to small businesses and they didn't do it. They shored up their capital position."

ESPN Zone to Commence Search for 2010 'Ultimate Couch Potato' in New York, Chicago and Baltimore
BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 11 — Every die-hard sports fan has at one time or another gone on a sports-watching marathon, logging hours of non-stop sports viewing all for the sake of fandom. ESPN Zone wants to reward those that do it best with its ninth-annual "Ultimate Couch Potato" competition, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 1, 2010.
ESPN Zone's New York, Chicago, and Baltimore locations are seeking four Couch Potato hopefuls at each site to go head-to-head to see who can watch the most continuous hours of televised sports. The Guinness Book of World Records mark for most continuous hours of televised sports watching is 69 hours, 48 minutes, set by Suresh Joachim in 2005.
2009 UCP Champ Jessica Mosley sat for an unofficial Guinness record of 70 hours, 45 minutes in 2009.
To enter ESPN Zone's Ultimate Couch Potato competition, hopefuls must send an e-mail to [email protected], and in 200 words or less, describe why they have what it takes to become ESPN Zone's Ultimate Couch Potato. Entries will be judged on passion for sports, competitive spirit and overall creativity. Each entry must include the phone number and mailing address of the sender and be received no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on December 9, 2009. Eight finalists will be chosen at each site, who will then take part in an on-camera interview to see just how deeply their fandom runs, before four finalists are chosen to compete for the title of Ultimate Couch Potato.
"People see ESPN Zone as the ultimate sports bar and ESPN as the gold standard in sports broadcasting, which makes us perfect for hosting a search for the ultimate sports-loving couch potato," said Christine Baum, national director of marketing, sales and communications for ESPN Zone. "Everyone knows someone out there that fits the description of Couch Potato; we want to sift through the spuds to find the Ultimate Couch Potato."

Disney Precious Collections to Feature Exclusive Jewelry at New Orleans Museum of Art Disney Retrospective
Disney Precious Collections, Fine Disney Jewelry For Children, has been selected as the featured product during Dreams Come True: Art of the Classic Fairy Tales from the Walt Disney Studios, at The New Orleans Museum of Art in New Orleans from November 15, 2009 – March 14, 2010.
This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition, which cannot be seen anywhere else, is set to coincide with the premier of Disney's newest animated feature film, The Princess and the Frog. The exhibition will feature 600 original works instrumental in the development of animated features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. In addition, there will be artwork from The Princess and the Frog, an animated comedy from the creators of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. This current version of the princess and the Frog is set in New Orleans during the 1920s Jazz Age, and is due for release Christmas, 2009.
"We are delighted to present this magical exhibition in New Orleans," said "NOMA director E. John Bullard. "Children will love seeing their favorite Disney characters in a museum setting and adults will be taken by the technical skill and emotional depth reflected in these works. It was Disney animators who really led the way in the 20th century toward establishing animation as a serious art form." The exhibition will also feature a children's section celebrating Disney's connections with jazz music and the Crescent City. The artworks, on loan from the Walt Disney Studio Animation Research Library, will be accompanied by film clips to demonstrate how individual sketches and paintings lead to a finished celluloid masterpiece.

Disney Parks Now Offers Mobile Editions of Its Theme Park Websites
The mobile version of the Walt Disney World website went live today, offering a compact version of the sort of information one might find on the official flash-required website. In addition to hours, basic entertainment schedules, attraction information, dining, shopping and other miscellaneous park-based information, the mobile site includes easy access to current weather conditions and forecasts. The site appears to be low on graphics use as well which means there is no map of the actual parks available to the device, nor is the full entertainment schedule listed, so the paper maps and times guides will still be a required staple to Disney Parks visitors.

How To Buy Freshwater Rods
Finding a good fishing rod starts with three basic considerations: your experience, your preferred way of fishing and the type of fish you are after. You then have a choice of several styles of rods to get the job done.
How to buy freshwater rods
There are two main types of rods--baitcasting and spinning. The type of rod you buy depends as much on the reel you buy as the type of fishing that you plan to do.

Weevil Pond: A Tradition at UAM |
Weevil Pond is over 100 years old. Its history stretches back to the time when the grounds now occupied by UAM served as plantation land owned by Judge William Turner Wells. Wells' family came to Monticello sometime between 1835 and 1846. In 1855, at the age of 20, he became a lawyer and set up a law office in Monticello. He married Miss Pattie Phenton Burks, a local resident, in 1858, and started a family. After he began practicing law, Wells purchased land for a farm about three miles south of Monticello. Around 1868 he moved his family to the property, and he remained at that residence until a few years before his death in 1906 (Ball, 16-19). According to the 1985 Boll Weevil, sometime during Judge Wells' residence at the plantation, a group of Irish immigrants worked on the construction of a railroad on his land. When the railroad construction company employing the immigrants went bankrupt, they were stranded in Arkansas without the means to move elsewhere. Judge Wells provided the immigrants with temporary employment until they could find other jobs. The men dug the pond as a sign of appreciation for Wells' kindness, and possibly as one of their temporary jobs on the plantation. Part of the pond is an earthen dam which helps to regulate the water levels. On May 24, 2006, after Weevil Pond had been drained, Dr. Marvin Jeter and his assistant Bob Scott, of the Arkansas Archeological Survey's UAM Research Station, cleaned off and "profiled" one side of the backhoe trench that had been dug through the earthen dam. They exposed a 1.8 meter (nearly 6 feet) vertical cross-section, from the present ground surface downward, but were unable to reach the base of the dam due to standing water at the bottom of the ditch. They found eight distinct "strata" of more or less flat-lying loads of soil, indicating that the group which constructed the pond had brought in separate loads of variously colored (tan, brown, dark reddish-brown) and textured (silt loam and clay) dirt from digging different depths of the pond, and built up the dam by spreading the loads nearly flat on top of each other (UAM Archives, Ready Reference Box 1, File Folder Weevil Lake or Pond). The pond was first called Sunnyside Lake. As we can see by the variety of trees gracing the campus in the early twenty-first century, the Wells plantation was covered with different types of trees including oak, magnolia, and cedar. In fact, a long driveway lined by cedars led up to the Wells' farm house (Ball, 17). Early yearbooks from the 1920s feature photos of the many trees casting shadows on the walkways through campus. The first catalog published in September of 1910 boasts that "the one-time home of the late Judge W. T. Wells, occupies an eminence from which one can view vast acres of virgin forests and alluvial fields, and among many other attractions, the beautiful Sunny Lake, whose waters abound in game fish, and whose surface affords excellent bathing and boating" (5). From these descriptions, one can imagine that the area cleared of trees immediately around the pond did afford a uniquely sunny place to spend the day. According to an article in the Advance Monticellonian from July 4, 1932, titled "W.T. Wells", after Judge Wells death in 1906, his sons established a real estate company in Monticello called Wells Brothers Realty company. This company managed the Wells plantation, along with other land in Drew county. On April 4, 1909, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 100 (also known as the Bellamy act) forming four district agricultural schools (Brewer, "Living History", 9). Three towns competed for the right to locate the Fourth District Agricultural School in their township. After Pine Bluff dropped out, the contest was between Fordyce and Monticello. The Wells Realty Company offered the Wells plantation as the land for the Monticello bid. Monticello outbid Fordyce, although the final deciding factor was thought to be the greater value of the Wells property (Holley, "Hail to the Chief! . . .", 7). With the establishment of the school, the pond took on a new role as a gathering place for students. They enjoyed the pond from the beginning. Photos in the yearbooks show students boating, wading, and fishing in the pond. According to the 1945 yearbook titled Log of the U.S.S. Arkam, during the 1940s, a Navy V-12 Unit conducted training on campus. While at ease during their "hitch" at the college, the trainees took "a trip to the lake" and some of the men received a dunking. During the 1950s, students celebrated Sadie Hawkins Day by dressing up as country hicks. The fun sometimes also included pitching someone into the pond (Holley, "The End of an Era . . .", 7). The Forestry Club developed a tradition called Forestry Field Day. It celebrated excellence in the mastery of forestry skills with contests, including chopping wood, sawing logs, and tug of war. As all of the students in the competition were men, one contest involved growing the best beard. Forestry Club students who had not grown a beard would be dunked in the pond as "punishment." Over the years, the students claimed the pond as their own. Although the first catalogs referred to the pond as Sunnyside Lake, it soon was referred to simply as "The Lake" or "The Pond." The 1954 yearbook is the first to dub the pond as "Weevil Lake." Students in the 1950s made efforts to beautify the pond. The Class of 1951 placed benches around the pond for the relaxation of visitors to the pond (Lampkin, 1B). The Class of 1952 decided to relocate the 80-year-old courthouse bell to the shore of the pond. With the aid of a 1940 green pickup borrowed from the college, several students helped move the bell from elsewhere on campus to the pond's shore. The class constructed a concrete base for the bell and placed a plaque under it inscribed with the words "Class of 1952" (Lampkin, 1B). The Campus Master Plan includes a project to continue the process of developing Weevil Pond. In May 2006 the pond was drained in order to dredge it out and create new walkways around the shore. (Brewer, "The Draining of Weevil Pond . . ., 1A). Private donations are continuing the tradition started by students from the beginning of the university's history to enjoy the pond during their stay and to leave it more beautiful and remarkable for generations to come.

Economic Performance and Quality of Life
Working Longer
Americans are working later in life, delaying retirement for a variety of reasons. While some continue working by choice, others needto remain in the workforce for financial reasons. Regardless of their motivation, the result is that people in the United States are working beyond what conventionally is thought of as retirement age. While most studies related to this issue have focused on how individually based factors such as health status, pension plans, and financial incentives influence the decision to retire, relatively little is known about employment patterns, obstacles to employment, or the ensuing economic impact.
The Foundation's Working Longer program began grant making in 2010 to expand and deepen our understanding of aging Americans' work patterns. The goal is to understand a) employer practices by industry and sector; b) obstacles to continued employment of older Americans; and c) the economic consequences for both individuals and for the federal budget.

Baked, light, crunchy snack puffs of sweet brown rice mochi, black sesame seed, and green nori seaweed flakes in a traditional 800-year-old manner. The finest ingredients with a sweet and salty glaze. Fat free and wheat free. A healthy snack with excellent food value. Wheat free.
Arare (pronounced ah-rah'-ray) are one of the most popular snack foods in Japan. Eden Five Flavored Arare Rice Puffs are made from sweet brown rice Oryza glutinosa, a stickier and more glutinous variety than regular brown rice. The sweet brown rice is washed, soaked and steamed with sea salt. The steamed rice is then placed in a special machine that pounds it into a glutinous, sticky dough called mochi. While the sweet rice is being pounded, black sesame seeds are rinsed and lightly roasted to release their characteristic rich nutty flavor. When the pounding of the rice is finished, the sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum), green nori flakes (Enteromorpha sp. or Monostroma nitidum), and koji (Aspergillus oryzae) are added, producing mochi with different colors and flavors. The mochi is rolled into sheets, cut into small pieces and placed in a room for two to three days to cool and harden. The hardened mochi is then baked. As the mochi bakes it puffs up and hardens. When done the puffs are lightly sprayed with a solution of premium wheat free tamari soy sauce, barley malt syrup, kombu broth made by simmering kombu seaweed and water, and shiitake broth made by simmering shiitake mushrooms in water, giving the baked puffs a shiny brown, multi-flavored glaze. After glazing the puffs are baked a final time to dry and harden the glaze before packaging.
Eden Five Flavored Arare Rice Puffs provide great food value and delicious flavor. They contain no artificial colors, flavorings or preservatives. They are fat free and wheat free. Most snacks are made with highly refined and bleached flour, hydrogenated oil (trans fats), harsh salt, refined sugar and preservatives. Eden is the wise choice for delicious, healthy snacks that are real food.
Enjoy Eden Five Flavored Arare Rice Puffs as is or with a favorite dip, spread, salsa or pate; or with fruit and vegetable slices. They are ideal for parties, lunches, camping trips and picnics. Delicious in soup in place of croutons.

Light Duty: Lighting the Way
Ever since man learned about light, the perception has been 'more light is better.' More light, more light, more light! But what we have found lately is that the correct amount of light with the correct spectral content of light is better light."
So says Mahendra Dassanayake, technical leader and lighting specialist with the Ford Motor Company. According to Dassanayake, the concept of "quality of light" is relatively new to the automotive lighting field, but it's becoming a bigger issue every day.
"It's just like sound," he explains. "You have sound with medium, low and high-band frequencies, or you can have a certain amount of compressed sound. And when you do that it's the perception that you need to address: you tune the visual perception based on how I see light in a more meaningful light—not just spilling a lot of light and saying you have good visibility.
"There's a lot coming up with light sources and using LED (light-emitting diode) light," he says, "so it's a broad brush discussion if you say 'LED light.' At the lowest common denominator, it is a diode, but how do you use that light out of the diode in a more energy-efficient, smarter, more intelligent way? There are 1,500 ways of going at it."
The good news is that fleet maintenance managers don't have to deal with 1,500 different approaches to vehicle lighting—yet. But the days of the simple plug-in, electric-filament halogen bulb are fading fast as LED and HID (high-intensity discharge) lighting technologies migrate from Cadillac and Lexus models to lower-priced, fleet-appropriate vehicles.
"We are moving towards different light sources for lamps," says Michael Larsen, bill of material family expert—in other words, a lighting expert—at General Motors.
"The LED is the new light source that's out there," Larsen says. "You see it in a lot of signal lamps. I know the heavy-duty industry has really adapted to these requirements where, depending on the state, if a bulb burns out, you can't drive the vehicle. You have to fix the bulb. So, the trucking companies have figured out that if they spend the extra money on these LEDs then they don't have to worry about whether a driver's going to be stuck somewhere for an hour or two while he's trying to get some stupid 10-cent bulb while he's trying to get his truck on the road!"
Larsen says that automakers are using more LED lighting for the same reason, but that light-duty vehicles also benefit from the longer life, lower power consumption, and, yes, enhanced styling opportunities afforded by LEDs.
Surprisingly, LED lighting also promises what Larsen describes as a "fairly significant" improvement in fuel efficiency, simply because it draws so little power.
"LEDs are such low-power consumption," he says. "Take a stop lamp: If you use a standard bulb, you're probably at 21 watts, and if you do it in LED you're at five watts. Most of the LED lamps on a vehicle, you can easily run them on a 9V battery. In a standard stop lamp, you would use a 150 milliamp LED, so if you use 10 of them that's one and a half amps at four volts."
According to Jayson Ryan, senior manager, OEM sales & product marketing for Philips Automotive Lighting North America, the watts used by headlights are directly proportional to fuel consumption.
"Typically if you look at a halogen bulb, it uses 55 to 60 watts per side. When you implement HID technology, HID runs at about 35 watts per side. So you can immediately see a dramatic improvement in power consumption from your lamps, which is directly translated into mileage. You don't have to spec' out as big an alternator, which affects weight, which will improve gas mileage."
There are other good reasons to consider switching from incandescent vehicle lighting, chief among them safety. We've already touched on the "quality of light" issue; as Dassanayake says, "...the correct amount of light with the correct spectral content of light is better light."
In the case of HID headlamps, that translates into a larger and deeper field of vision for the driver; the more you see ahead of you at night, the safer you'll be. It also reduces the driver's eye strain, hence reducing fatigue and keeping the driver more alert and aware.
"The sleep cycle of a human being is defined by the melatonin secretions in the brain," Dassanayake explains. "In literature, people have found that certain wavelengths of light help better secretion of melatonin, and it keeps (drivers) awake and alert... and helps keep their attention and reduce their fatigue.
"Fatigue comes from the amount of work you have to do to be in control and be aware; in other words, it's tied to the cognitive loading that someone has to go through," he says. "So, the visible input is one aspect of that cognitive loading. The visible aspect can be impacted by proper lighting with the correct spectral content."
Indeed, a study conducted on German drivers by TÜVRheinland®Group, a global compliance and testing company, finds that the number of new cars in Germany with HID lighting has been increasing dramatically, and suggests that there may have been up to 18 percent fewer fatalities on German roads as a result of the increased use of Xenon (HID) car lighting. The study also finds that up to 1,200 road fatalities in Germany could be avoided every year if all cars had Xenon lighting.
"You get a lot more light down the road in a wider beam pattern with HID, so he's able to see more area," says Ryan. "Then there's also color temperature: HID is perceived as a whiter light, and it more closely resembles daylight than its halogen counterparts. So, it's more natural for the eyes to see in this environment, there's less strain on the eyes, which can result in less fatigue for the driver."
The safety factor extends to the rear of the vehicle as well. Cars and trucks equipped with LED brake lights have a clear safety advantage over vehicles with incandescent brake lamps.
"Tail lamps with LEDs come on very fast, (in) twelve nanoseconds; for halogen or incandescent it's about 200 milliseconds," Dassanayake says. "So, with LED it comes on immediately... and that instantaneous change triggers your direct view and your peripheral view. If you're driving at about 60 mph, it's a good nine or 10-foot advantage."
So far, LED headlamps have barely registered in the marketplace, but that may soon be changing, according to GM's Larsen.
"Lexus now has an LED headlamp, and we've announced that we're going to have an LED headlamp on the Escalade by the end of this year," he explains.
"The LED headlights have a few things going for them," he says. "One is styling; our stylists always want to set our vehicles apart, and LEDs give you that opportunity. The second benefit is that very soon, within the next couple years, power consumption of LED headlamps is going to be the same as or lower than halogen (55 watts) or even HID (35 watts). LEDs could be down to 25, 20, maybe even 15 watts, and with fuel prices the way they are in America, that's becoming a big issue, as LEDs may be a big fuel-saver."
LED headlights also take the "quality of light" issue a quantum leap ahead of HID headlights, which are already pretty good.
HID headlights already put out more light, and a whiter light, than halogen bulbs, Larsen explains, "So you get that perceived benefit of a lot more light."
The step up from HID to LED headlights will offer that same perceived benefit, in spades. "LED headlights will offer performance equivalent to an HID, but the light from an LED headlamp is going to be a lot whiter, more like sunlight," Larsen says. "So, your perception of the light output when you go to LED is that it's even more light than an HID, even though it's the same."
Of course, as with any maturing technology, it's not all sunshine and roses; LED and HID lights have their own maintenance issues.
"The one drawback of an LED lamp is that if it does burn out, you've got to replace the whole thing," Larsen says. "They're not serviceable; there are actually legal requirements about serviceability of LEDs and what you can and can't do. So, if your LED stop lamp goes out, you have to replace the unit."
And here's something that could dull the shine of those HID headlights: "We typically see that HID bulbs are in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 times more expensive from a replacement standpoint than halogen bulbs," says Ryan. "But, when you look at how long you can run an HID bulb on a vehicle, you have to take into account how often you would have to change a halogen bulb."
Whether or not those are compelling issues for your fleet, there is another maintenance concern that affects any fleet technician working on newer light duty vehicles: how do you replace a light—either a lamp or an entire fixture—if you can't get at it?
Tighter underhood areas can make it all but impossible to replace a headlight, daytime running light (DRL), foglamp or front turn signal, says Larsen. "In the past, you'd pop the hood and there'd be a mile between the headlamp and the radiator; I mean, you could stick your leg in there and it wouldn't be a problem," he says. "Well, today, it's very difficult to see where to get access to the bulbs, and that's the thing that the maintenance person is going to have to deal with when the bulbs burn out."
Fortunately, relief from cramped engine compartments is coming from Europe. Larsen describes a new legal requirement in the EU says that any lighting unit on a vehicle that may need to be replaced by the consumer must be serviceable with the use of simple tools in a simple procedure that's detailed in the owner's manual.
"Because my company does global vehicles—the Malibu that sells here also sells in other countries—we have to meet that requirement," he explains. "So, for our vehicles, you will be able to get at those replaceable bulbs without having to do a major tear-up on the vehicle. Maybe you need a screwdriver to pop it open, but that would be the extent of it. So, American and Canadian consumers are going to benefit from the European regulations, at least on these global vehicles, which is what most of ours are. So we, and our competitors, are really focusing on designing in this serviceability."
Another maintenance improvement you can look forward to is PWM control, or pulse width modulation.
"Whereas on past vehicles, when the battery's charging, the alternator really kicks up the voltage to the battery; well, that voltage goes throughout the vehicle," Larsen says. "A bulb might see 14 volts, when it's designed for 12.8. That greatly reduces the life of the bulb.
"With our new electrical architectures, with pulse width modulation, we can control that; we can cap the voltage," he explains. "So a 12.8 volt bulb is only going to see 12.8 volts—no more than 12.8 volts—and that's a big help in life. That's available on future GM vehicles."
For the last word in lighting maintenance and serviceability, we turn to the folks who design and engineer the lighting systems on your light-duty vehicles. What do they see as the most pressing issues in vehicle lighting today?
"A regular halogen bulb has between 600 and 1,000 hours of life; an HID bulb would be around 2,000 hours, or even more," says Ingolf Sischka, product manager-aftermarket, Philips Automotive Lighting North America. "That already gives a very strong indication on how fleet managers could look into reduced costs for fleet maintenance.
"To get a taste of what these lifetimes really mean, an average consumer in North America drives his or her car about 200 to 250 hours a year with the lights on, or about 40 percent of the time," he says. "For commercial applications, the number of hours with lights on in a year is on average about 50 to 70 percent higher, so you would be looking at lights on during a year of 350 to 400 hours. So, a halogen bulb would last one-and-a-half, two-and-a-half years, but with an HID bulb, that time doubles. And of course, if there is a FedEx truck that is running at night only, this is a significant difference.
"We do recommend looking for solutions that require less maintenance, and HID definitely could be one option," Sischka says.
"If you're in an area where you're going to have a lot of obstacles to potentially knock off your lamps, if we can get a lower profile on a lamp that is also very rugged and dependable, then these products should last a lot longer," says Mark Paul, business development and marketing manager for Grote Industries, LLC.
But the fuel-saving issue is one that the company would rather downplay. Yes, LED lighting will save you fuel, says business development manager-forward and interior lighting Mike Grote, but the savings is difficult to quantify and depends on the application of the vehicle.
Mike Grote still sees some applications where incandescent lighting continues to make the most sense. A fleet that operates in tight spaces and is constantly having lights knocked off is not going to invest in LEDs, nor is a fleet that only operates its vehicles during the day and whose drivers never turn on the lights. "I'm going to have a hard time telling them they should be buying LEDs," he says with a chuckle.
Nonetheless, for most fleets LEDs are worth a serious look. "Actually, incandescents are going to be going up in price, as we make fewer of them," says Grote, underscoring the point. "You just don't get your economies of scale."
"If an individual is going to look at an incandescent light bulb because it's a cheaper product and I can get my vehicle back on the road faster, when you drill down behind the maintenance side, including all the shop time, LEDs are actually more practical over the longer term," Paul says. "The cost of LEDs has come down significantly, it's no longer a massive chasm between incandescent and LED pricing. So, I think we're going to see a lot more moves to LED technology, as long as we can get that message out that it's a longer-term strategy as opposed to an impulse buy."
In other words, think it through. Switching to newer lighting technology has a ripple effect throughout the maintenance operation, Paul explains.
"Regardless of what Grote does from an engineering or design point-of-view, if, in the field, people don't practice proper installation and care, then that's a problem that you can't blame on the LED," he says. "If you're going to invest in LED technology, don't forget to invest in training your maintenance guys."

Can't forget a shit ton of stickers. I'll continue to do the $25 box.anyone know when/if they are doing the mystery boxes again? I missed out on it last time and wanna try it.Boxes were horrible this year in my opinion. Anyone that ordered anything above $25 just got leftover pairs of shoes.

We have a ge microwave oven one day it started exhibiting the following behavior: when opening the door the turntable would turn and the fan would run it was not actually producing microwaves David M. • Lima, OH • September 12, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Counter Top Microwave JE1640WA01 My Repair & Advice An Internet search revealed that problems like this are typically caused by one of the safety interlock switches operated by the door latches. In this particular model there is one on the top latch and two on the bottom latch. They were easy to get to by simply removing the cover. I checked the switches with an ohmmeter with the door both open and closed and found that the top switch was nearly shorted when it should have been open. The microswitches are all mounted in a plastic bracket that's mounted with just two easily accessible screws. Once the screws are removed the bracket can be pulled out into a position that makes it easy to get to the switches. I pulled off the electrical connectors (both connected to each other and come off together) and the switch comes out easily by just pushing a couple of lock tabs out of the way. Popped the new switch in, put the connectors back on, put the bracket back in place and put the cover back on. Voila! A $24.00 total cost and less than a half hour of labor.

Chōjūrō (長十郎, Chōjūrō) is a member of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and wields the twin sword: Hiramekarei.
Despite his membership in the elite Seven Swordsmen group, he is a shy individual and seems to lack confidence in his abilities. He also admires the Fifth Mizukage greatly, as he commented inwardly on wanting to protect her "beautiful smile". By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Mei has noted that he has become a lot more confident in himself as seen when he cut down Black Zetsu without reservation and then declares to the Fifth that as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he would guard the area with his life.[3]
Chōjūrō has short, tufty blue hair, and dark eyes. He also has pointed, shark-like teeth; a trait that all known members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as well as apprentices share. He wears square, black-rimmed glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants. Also, he wears his forehead protector on the front of his holster which he uses to carry Hiramekarei. The sword itself is wrapped in bandages leaving only the double hilt visible. He also has shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his legs. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he still wears the same outfit but changed his forehead protector to that of the alliance's.
Despite his meek demeanour, Chōjūrō is a capable ninja, whose skills made him a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a group made of Kirigakure's strongest swordsmen. The fact that he was also chosen as one of the bodyguards for the Fifth Mizukage during the Kage Summit implies that he is quite powerful.
As a sword user, Chōjūrō wields a dual-handled sword called Hiramekarei, that is linked together at the handles by a chain. When released from its bandages, it releases chakra that can be shaped into weapons. He was only shown to have created an enormous hammer,[4] and a massive sword in an instant after storing a large amount of chakra in the blade.[5]
Chōjūrō is shown to be strong enough to wield Hiramekarei in its hammer form and is capable of sending an opponent flying a considerable distance even if they have a strong defence, like Susanoo.
In the anime, he is strong enough to cut through solid wood with ease and is seen attacking with rotating movements, hitting every enemy around him.[6]
Part II
Five Kage Summit Arc
Chōjūrō and Ao were chosen to escort the Fifth Mizukage to the Kage Summit. During their trip to the Land of Iron, Chōjūrō was frequently embarrassed by the Mizukage's concern over him, which earned him scolding from Ao. Once they finally arrived and the meeting began, Ao and Chōjūrō rushed to her defence during the Fourth Raikage's outburst[7] and later White Zetsu's appearance at the Summit.[8]
When Sasuke Uchiha infiltrated the conference hall, Chōjūrō activated Hiramekarei and formed it into a hammer which he used to knock Sasuke into a sealed off, adjacent hall where the Mizukage could fight him alone. Although Sasuke was able to escape, his actions convinced the Kage to begin working together. When Tobi appeared and told the attendees of his Eye of the Moon Plan, Chōjūrō silently listened on and later after the masked man had left, as a sign of good faith, Chōjūrō told those in attendance about Kisame Hoshigaki and his Samehada but was cut off by Ōnoki who stated that they were already aware of this information.[9]
After leaving the Summit with Mei, they followed Ao, who was tracking Danzō and his delegation. When they finally caught up with Ao, the Mizukage was able to stop Ao from seemingly beheading himself. She realised that he was under enemy control, and requested to use Hiramekarei to force him out. Fū insulted her upon learning that she knew he wasn't really Ao, and she quickly punched Ao before realising that the opponent had already released the technique. Later, when they return to Kirigakure they are informed that the daimyō had approved the formation of the Shinobi Alliance.
Adventures at Sea Arc
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc Chōjūrō was sent by the Mizukage in a diplomatic mission to better Kirigakure's relationship with Iwagakure, having to stop Ganryū in the process.
Shinobi World War Arc
Chōjūrō attended the last meeting that was held by the Alliance in order to fully prepare for the upcoming war. The Mizukage told him to contact Ao in the Sensor Division and tell him that they needed to hurry. Chōjūrō later joined Mei in guarding the various daimyō during war. When Black Zetsu located the daimyō, he, Genma Shiranui, and Raidō Namiashi alongside the other members confronted the Akatsuki member.
As the battle between the two sides waged on throughout the night, one of Naruto Uzumaki's shadow clones arrived to help in the battle. During the fight one Black Zetsu's branches caught Naruto's foot, causing his Rasenshuriken attack to miss. Chōjūrō used that opportunity to attack from behind with his Hiramekarei. Forming it into a longsword, he cuts through Black Zetsu, and stated that the more confident he was, the stronger his strike. He then pinned Black Zetsu to the ground with the tip of his sword and told Mei — who was being called away — to deal with the reincarnated Madara Uchiha and that as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist he would defend that point with his life.
Creation and Conception
Wanting to create a younger character, Masashi Kishimoto gave Chōjūrō short hair and attire than was not that of the standard shinobi. Then wanting to give him an air of unreliability, he immediately gave him glasses. The jagged teeth, Kishimoto admits, was simply an indulgence on his part.

In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, Chōjūrō is a support-only character.
- Chōjūrō (長十郎) is a red-coloured cultivar of the "Asian pear"; like all members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, his name is derived from a type of produce.
- Chōjurō is the only current official member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
- In the anime, it is revealed that Chōjurō dislikes oily foods.
- (About the Fifth Mizukage) "She's so kind. I will do everything to protect that smile on our gentle Mizukage. I hope I can."[10]
- (About Kisame) "Put him and that blade together, and you have a human who is able to wield every bit as much power as a jinchūriki… effectively a tailed beast without a tail."[11]

- Fax: 402-437-8701
Welcome to Lincoln, where the Cornhuskers roam, not Buffalo or Hawkeyes or Buckeyes, or any other kind of "eyes"! Everyone can see that the most important things in the state of Nebraska are the Cornhuskers and our State Capitol with the State government, which are here in Lincoln. What else is important about Lincoln? Well, we are home to Runza's, Val's Pizza, and "drum roll" please, the only Roller Skating Museum in the USA! Don't think Runza's and Val's Pizza is important, well, tell that to all the Big Red faithfuls in other states that have BIG RED parties at local pubs and have the Runza's and Val's Pizza flown into the local pub for the Cornhusker patrons! How many other restaurants ship to other pubs in other states?
We know we don't have everything here in Lincoln, what we are missing is flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear power plants, high crime rates, big freeways, mafia, ghettos, dilapidated downtown, crazy cab dirvers, long commutes, and smog. You want those things, look somewhere else. But if you are looking for good schools, lots of parks, bike and walking trails, like small town living with most of the items in the city within easy distance, try Lincoln, a great town in Nebraska!

Where can I find information on being a sponsor?
Early one morning I received an email from an AA member asking "Where can I find information on being a sponsor".
I'm often asked this question in person, but when I received the email, I thought it would be good to add the Sponsor Forum to our site, and use his question, and the reply, as the first topic here.
Below, I posted my answer to the question:
Hello (name removed),
Thanks for your question. The best information that I've ever found on being a sponsor, is the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Particularly, Chapter 7 Working With Others, and Chapter 11, A Vision For You. It gives pretty detailed instructions on being a sponsor, even though the word "sponsor" is not mentioned.
Perhaps you've noticed, that in the Big Book, in the first 164 pages, the word "sponsorâ€

Wow, great pics from the game. Top level front row are the best seats in the house, IMO. The super zoom makes us feel like we're right there with you. Also impressive wins for the Angels, as the Indians are proving they are the real deal in the Central.
Nice photos!!!! The one with the pitcher Jered, is incredible!!!.
—Mark Gauthier
Great pics! And what a kiss cam story! Nice! Did you happen to see Will Ferrell and John C Riley's kiss cam shenanigans at the Lakers game recently? That was a classic! Google it if you haven't seen it!
Congrats on 1000 for Scioscia, Kristen! That makes him the franchise manager for the Halos – well deserved, too!
As for the Kiss Cam, I went to a networking mixer last Thursday hosted by that bloody cultural lifestyle magazine I used to freelance for. The magazine is hosting another group (900-1000 seats) for a Twins game in July and the organizer of the event is plotting to get them to scan the Kiss Cam into the group's section. Oh, the mayhem in the stands!
Personally, I can't stand the Kiss Cam. Just sayin'.
– Randy
Reason #947 to love baseball. The bullpens. No sport has ever had as goofy a group of players as Major League bullpens. Even considering the current beard epidemic.
It was a great series, even though we lost Saturday's game. I was one of the 40k lucky enough to see Sosh's 1000th win, and the atmosphere was incredible. I haven't had that feeling at an Angels game since K-Rod broke the single-season saves record, and even that paled in comparison.
Loved that Chatwood was actually the best pitcher of the weekend, and loathed that Fernando Rodney nabbed two "wins"s. All-in-all, a great weekend to be an Angels Fan… I can't wait for the rest of 2011.
Mike – Thanks! Yeah, I am really starting to see the appeal of seats at this level beyond the affordability. I think the Indians are the real deal this season. Those guys were playing well. I am thrilled the Angels could compete and win.
Mark – Thank you!!
Jeff – Thanks! Yeah, it was pretty funny. I don't watch basketball much. They'll take my L.A. card away for saying it, but I think the Lakers are a bunch of spoiled brats and I can't bring myself to watch a team that doesn't feel it's necessary to put any effort into playing until just before the playoffs and will say as much to the press. But it sounds like I will have to google that. I can only imagine.
Randy – Thanks! Sosh is something else! My favorite Dodger and definitely my favorite manager. I understand hating the kiss cam. I think it's stupid, has nothing to do with the game and potentially discriminatory because I know they won't show every kiss. It's only funny when people do the unexpected, like the Indians bullpen did and like your lifestyle magazine group is planning on – I want to see YouTube footage of that, especially the mayhem in the stands.
Rob – Agreed, it takes a special and wonderful kind of warped personality to survive in a major league bullpen and I do enjoy the end results.
JT – Lucky!! I am so jealous. I was hoping they would get the 1,000th win on Saturday and then I couldn't go on Sunday. Rodney deserved the first win, I think, for really pulling out the clutch, but the way he nearly blew Sunday's game should almost count as a negative win against the first one. It's really nice to see Chatwood coming along though. What a great addition to the rotation!

Love the pics! Your camera has great zoom. I always try to take pics like that when I go to games, but my camera isn't the greatest and I always end up with blurry dots of the players.
Your KissCam story is the first amusing one of those things I've heard! Now instead of those thngs being annoying 100% of the time, I'll reduce it down to 98.67% of the time :)
Thanks Catherine! Part of it is a pretty good camera. Part of it is I have steady hands – I learned when I had to take my own event photos for my publications when I worked in nonprofits. And here I thought the kiss cam was so obnoxious and non-baseball that it was an only in California thing. I'm not entirely certain I'm happier knowing almost all stadiums use this annoying tactic, LOL!

You're not the only one who thinks about the Lakers that way (though perhaps the only one in L.A.). I like to say that Kobe has only two rings (the first three were Shaq's).
Congratulations to Scioscia on his 1K! I wish he was still a Dodger. sigh. One of many of Dodger mistakes in letting Scioscia get away.
your post and pics made us feel like we were at the game.
Aw, Kristen, looks like your guys snapped out of it last night? Ready for the rubber match?
Seems lilke your boys found their stride last night and it seems to be continuing. Also, we seem to have these magically appearing holes in the defense the last couple of days that weren't there before. Someone on twitter tonight said that he saw Christopher Lloyd hanging from the foul pole and Danny Glover sitting in the dugout. :) Maybe that's our problem.
But, hey, when things are whirly and not going our way, at least Ozzie will put in Omar Vizquel – which always makes me happy.
Also, in other news, night games are late when they happen in California and I keep having to stay up pst my bedtime. :)

Jeff – I completely agree.
Emma – Thanks! Yeah, Scioscia is something else. Definitely glad the Dodgers decided to look in other manager directions. :)
Catherine – Last night in a big way that's for sure. This rubber match is killing me…or maybe it's just the calls, but at least they're bad across the board I suppose.
Keleigh – No Angels in the Outfield, LOL. It's bad enough some fans have started doing that stupid arm flapping thing from the movie…that started late last season. Well, it looks like you're staying up even later tonight.
