Gortex under $200, not happening unless its a big sale. If your looking for pants to just "get the job done" then just stick with a well known brand, choose shell or insulated, and you'll be fine. Some to keep in mind:
Foursquare Special Blend Burton Quiksilver Billabong Volcom Ride Rome Vans All those companies make some nice stuff under $200. Last edited by Snowboarding101; 12-12-2009 at 04:45 PM. |

I just bought the Bonfire Particle pants in the Citron color for $99. They are like a combination of highlighter green and highlighter yellow. Almost like a safety jacket. They are 7k water proof and all I wore was some long underwear underneath and I was warm and dry on a wet day.

Australian recruiting firm, Sacs Consulting, has released the findings of a survey entitled "Dangerous Personalities making work unsafe". Such surveys are predominantly marketing exercises and usually, as in this case, there is a limited amount of data available but the results are often broadly distributed and add to the discussion about workplace safety.
The headline itself is a red flag to occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals who are old enough to remember the debate about "blaming the worker" for OHS breaches, injuries and illnesses. Most safety managers and corporate safety programs are applying a "no blame" philosophy to combat the worker focus but the reality is that workers are still being blamed and being dismissed for safety breaches. The Sacs Consulting survey confirms the growing worker focus by looking at the personal rather than the organisational.
The Sacs study found:
"…that some people still ignore OHS rules and act unsafely in the workplace, whereas others value their own safety and that of their colleagues so actively that they try to improve the safety of their workplace. Using personality and values testing, the study was able to predict whether an individual is more or less
likely to be safe at work." (page 1) More…

Indians to play next 3 in Milwaukee
By JOE MILICIA
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND (AP) — After snow wiped out Cleveland's series against Seattle for the fourth day in a row Monday, the Indians moved their next series against the Los Angeles Angels to Milwaukee's Miller Park.
The teams will play a three-game series beginning Tuesday in the ballpark, which unlike Jacobs Field, has a retractable roof. The opener and Wednesday's game will be played at 7:05 p.m. CDT, with Thursday's scheduled for 1:05 p.m.
The Indians, who had their home opener last Friday called after four innings, will try to get their first game at Jacobs Field in on Friday when they open a three-game set against the Chicago White Sox.
While snow stopped falling Monday, the grounds crew was unable to get the surface in shape after three days of snow. Faced with a forecast for sleeting rain, snow flurries and a projected high of 34 degrees, the Indians postponed their rescheduled doubleheader against the Mariners.
After spending Sunday considering moving the Angels' series to Anaheim., Calif., baseball officials decided to switch it to Milwaukee, and Indians players packed for the trip.
A storm left more than a foot of snow in some places in the Cleveland area, and the entire four-game series against Seattle will have to be played at later dates. It was the first time an entire series of more than two games was postponed by weather since Hurricane Frances put off the Chicago Cubs' at Florida Marlins set from Sept. 3-5, 2004, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Seattle plays Tuesday at Boston.
After Friday's game was called, the teams hoped to play a day-night doubleheader Saturday, but that was put off by the spring storm. They then scheduled a doubleheader for Sunday, which also was postponed. With time on their hands, Seattle players at Jacobs Field made snow angels.

Indians Situation Creates Betting Conundrum
by Robert Ferringo - 04/09/2007
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mother Nature can be a filthy whore when she wants to be. And now she has something in common with former president Andrew Jackson. They both hate Indians.
First, Mother Nature decided to ramp up the pollen count in Georgia, which has accelerated my development of allergies. Up to this point my body has been indestructible, save for the occasional bite of a vampire bat or a half-liter funnel of Absolut Vodka. As if that weren't bad enough, she decided to blanket the country with a spell of unseasonably cold weather last week, delivering one last wintry kick in the groin for the fine folks who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Collateral damage from Nature's spat of PMS was a scheduled series between Seattle and Cleveland at Jacobs Field, as well as the Indians' upcoming series with the Los Angeles Angels. The game was postponed, with no makeup date yet set. It was the first time an entire series has been lost since Hurricane Flo waltzed through South Florida and nixed a Cubs-Marlins get together.
Seattle heads on to Boston now where they get to bathe in Dice-K Mania as they face Daisuke Matsuzaka in his Fenway debut on Tuesday afternoon. And in case you're wondering how the Mariners are holding up following the weekend winter wonderland, one Internet report said that after Sunday's doubleheader was cancelled several Seattle players hung around and made snow angels on Jacobs Field. How cute.
But the weather woes make for an interesting situation for the Indians. Technically, Cleveland hasn't played a home game yet this year. They were one strike away from a victory on Friday over the Mariners when Mike Hargrove pulled out the stall tactics and held out until the game was cancelled. Not only did the Indians lose a four-game home stand but they also lost the momentum they had built up from a series victory over division rival Chicago.
And to make matters worse, Cleveland's next home series was supposed to be a Tuesday-Thursday set as hosts to the Angels. However, in Bud Selig's infinite wisdom the series was relocated from Cleveland to Milwaukee. Yes, you read that right - Milwaukee. I'm sure the choice of locale had nothing to do with Selig's personal ties to that area, and wasn't in any way an attempt to drum up a little extra dough for folks associated with his former club. But I do think the possibility exists for the first-ever Major League Game with an attendance in the low 200s.
The Indians were set to travel to Los Angeles for a three-game series in May and will also head west for four games in September. Apparently swapping out this series for one of those - honoring the tickets for the opposite events and maybe sprinkling in a doubleheader made less sense than playing in Milwaukee. I don't know.
The question now is how will this extended layoff and change of venue effect the hard-hitting Indians or the red-hot Angels? Damned if I know. But what I can tell you is that oddsmakers are certainly taking the odd situation into account.
"We'll probably just take a little bit off the home team and leave it at that," said Las Vegas Sports Consultants oddsmaker Pete Korner in published Internet reports. "Cleveland will still have a little bit of an advantage because it bats last, but that's really it."
The Angels (5-2) are just coming off a split against Oakland and had an off day for travel before Game 1. They'll be throwing Ervin Santana against Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia on Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST. Cleveland has been posted as a -142 favorite with Los Angeles fetching +129 as an underdog.
I don't know about you, but there's no way I'd be laying nearly -150 on a team that hasn't played in over four days and currently holds the league's third-worst ERA (5.54). Cleveland's sticks may have had enough time to cool off and its starters completely out of rhythm (and I'm sure Sabathia has been hitting the fridge HARD this weekend).
However, I will say that Cleveland does have the benefit of a very rested bullpen. Also, they've been able to reset their starting rotation so at least they get to throw their best arms at Vlad Guerrero and Co. Cleveland will trot out Jake Westbrook to face lefty Joe Saunders on Wednesday and then match lefty Jeremy Sowers against Angels righty Dustin Moseley on Thursday.
From a handicapper's perspective this one is tough to call. I think in Game 1 the play needs to be either to stay away altogether or take the Angels. I know that sounds odd, but they have value in a situation where we're unsure how either team is going to respond. After that, it's a crapshoot. I think that Cleveland has the edge with its No. 2 and No. 3 starters facing the back end of the Angels rotation. But I will likely be sitting this one out.

Ballet Effectively Captures Anne Frank's Life |
News/Features - Dance | |
Written by Johanna Welzenbach-Hilliard | |
Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:00 | |
The Diary of Anne Frank is practically synonymous with the Holocaust. For this reason, Alan Ross, executive director of the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, asked Ballet Quad Cities to create a dance based on the book as part of the community project "Beyond the Holocaust: Lessons for Today.
" In response to his challenging request, Ballet Quad Cities and its artistic director, Johanne Jakheln, have succeeded brilliantly in bringing Anne's story to life through dance in the world premiere of From the Pages of a Young Girl's Life: The Anne Frank Ballet, performed at the Galvin Fine Arts Center on Tuesday, May 24. In the ballet's program notes, Executive Director Joedy Cook describes the lengths to which she, Jakheln, and ballet members went to ensure the realism of this production. The company did extensive research on the fashions of the period, and they even found vintage bicycles from the World War II era to use as props. For background music, the ballet used pieces by six composers who wrote in the Judaic tradition, and a piano concerto by Mozart that Anne mentioned in her diary. The ballet opens with a scene of 13-year-old Anne (played convincingly by Hannah Dorfmueller) and her childhood friends riding bikes on the streets of Amsterdam, enjoying the freedom they will soon lose. I liked the feeling of jubilant flight the girls conveyed as they glided across the floor alongside their bicycles. The girls' costumes were simple dresses with collared bodices, loose skirts, and cardigans displaying the yellow Star of David. This opening scene is important because viewers must understand how Anne and her friends lived normal lives despite the war raging around them. Soon thereafter, Anne's sister Margot (the peerless Courtney Walrath) receives notice that she must go away to a Nazi labor camp. She and her mother (expertly played by Jennifer Weber) perform a dance of unutterable sorrow. Their movements were heavy, often abrupt, with heads bowed down and shoulders hunched in despair. The family goes into hiding in a secret refuge above Otto Frank's business. The set for the hidden annex was effectively arranged with a table and chairs as the central props where all group activities took place. Jakheln made good use of this furniture, having the performers dance around, in front of, and on the table. Set apart from these props was a small writing desk, placed downstage right, where the other Anne, the diarist, is seated and writing through most of the performance. At the beginning of each scene, pages from her diary were read over a loudspeaker. What came through most effectively in this powerful performance was the emotional tension these people lived with every day. Jakheln chose modern dance movements, which use parallel and flexed feet rather than the ethereal, turned out, pointed toes of ballet. These earthy movements added greatly to the realism of the story. The performers could effectively show their very human anguish (as opposed to the lofty angst of lovelorn tragic heroes from classic ballets) in the sometimes contained, sometimes floppy motions. In one scene, tensions grow in the tight living quarters and arguments break out. The dancers each grab a chair and dance with it while ignoring everyone else in the room. The chairs symbolize each person's private space, an unassailable refuge from the prying of others. I thought this was extremely effective, since in reality the only privacy that existed in those cramped conditions was in each person's mind. There were two scenes that affected me profoundly. In one, the inhabitants of the secret annex must sit quietly all day because the Germans are in the offices below. Any sound would give them away. Again Jakheln used slight, spare movements to indicate the fear and boredom of sitting still for so long. The performers' faces were so expressive they truly did speak volumes. The other scene that left me chilled was when an air-raid siren abruptly shatters the silence and the flashing lights of explosions illuminate the stage, casting grotesque shadows. Suddenly, a solitary figure appears stage left. It is a vision of Hanneli (played by Britta Anderson), a friend of Anne's. Dressed in rags and trembling uncontrollably, she beseeches Anne to help her. Anne is horrified and guilt-ridden as she realizes that could one day be her. But there were happy moments in this self-imposed prison. Anne and her friend, Peter Van Pels (played by Jake Lyon), developed romantic feelings for one another. The scene in which they discover their mutual attraction is sweet. Their timid gestures and Anne's swooning poses effectively depict the shyness and excitement of first love. As the ballet ends, the audience is visually assailed with a numbing slide show of the concentration camps and gas chambers, and the sea of carnage that was once human. I was struck by the smiles on the faces of the skeletal prisoners as they posed for the camera. Amidst the horror, they found a spark of joy. Trackback(0)

"We'd like to continue to keep our powder dry," Jobs said yesterday when asked whether Cupertino, California-based Apple would use the cash for a stock buyback or dividend. "We strongly believe that one or more very strategic opportunities may come along."
Apple has $25.6 billion in cash and short-term investments. Including longer-term holdings, the amount climbs to about $51 billion, more than any other technology company, said Brian Marshall, an analyst at Gleacher & Co. in San Francisco. Apple may eventually make a large acquisition, possibly for a company such as Akamai Technologies Inc., which makes technology for distributing media content on the Web, he said.
"They are in a position to outbid everybody if they view the asset as valuable enough," said Marshall, who recommends buying Apple shares and doesn't own any himself.
Jeff Young, a spokesman for Akamai, didn't return an after- hours call seeking comment.
Jobs spoke after Apple reported that fourth-quarter profit rose 70 percent to $4.31 billion, or 4.64 a share, on sales of $20.3 billion. The stock fell in late trading yesterday after Apple forecast narrower gross margins in the current quarter as well as profit that will rise less than analysts projected. The company sold fewer iPad tablets than some analysts predicted.
'Closing In'
Profit will be about $4.80 a share this quarter, which includes the holiday shopping season. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had predicted profit of $5.03. Gross margin, the percentage of sales left after deducting production costs, will be about 36 percent, compared with 36.9 percent last quarter and 41.8 percent a year before that, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said on the call.
Apple slumped as much as 7.9 percent to $292.75 in extended trading. Earlier, it had climbed $3.26 to a record $318 in regular trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The shares, up 51 percent this year, surpassed $300 for the first time last week. Apple accounts for 21 percent of the Nasdaq 100 Index.
The rising popularity of devices using Google's Android software may hurt Apple in the long term, said Michael Obuchowski, chief investment officer of First Empire Asset Management, which holds Apple shares.
"Everyone is closing in and it's a huge question of how they are going to respond," said Obuchowski, whose firm oversees $4 billion. "I'm really worried about Apple; I'm not convinced that I'm going to hold Apple two years from now."
'Commodity' Experience
Jobs dismissed the threat of rivals. Apple's approach of designing the software and hardware for its devices results in a better user experience, he said. By contrast, Google gives Android free to handset makers including Motorola Inc. and HTC Corp., creating a "commodity" experience, he said.
"We are very committed to the integrated approach, no matter how many times Google tries to characterize it as closed," Jobs said. He said Apple is outselling BlackBerry-maker RIM and he doesn't "see them catching up with us in the foreseeable future."
Missing Expectations
Marisa Conway, a spokeswoman for Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM, declined to comment. Jane Penner, a spokeswoman for Google in Mountain View, California, didn't respond to requests for comment.
Apple sold 4.19 million iPad tablet computers last quarter, fewer than the 4.5 million predicted by Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos. in Minneapolis. Today's results also included the first full quarter of sales for iPhone 4, released in June. Apple sold 14.1 million iPhones and 3.89 million Macintosh computers.
Munster, who estimated Apple would sell 11 million iPhones, said last week that supply shortages likely held back sales of both the smartphone and iPad.
The cost of making the iPhone may be increasing, said Andy Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon. The device accounts for 43 percent of Apple's revenue.
''We saw what we think is a pretty remarkable increase in iPhone costs," and that's fueled concern over margins, Hargreaves said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Revenue this quarter will be about $23 billion, Apple said. Analysts had predicted sales of $22.3 billion.
Verizon Phone
Even so, competition is increasing. The Android operating system was the most popular smartphone software in the U.S. in the second quarter, according to Gartner Inc.
Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Dell Inc. are among the companies using Android in tablet computers to rival the iPad. Hewlett-Packard Co., the largest computer maker, is developing a tablet computer.
Apple may get a sales boost by expanding the availability of the iPhone in the U.S. Verizon Wireless may begin selling it in January, two people familiar with the matter said in June.
Jobs also said he's been surprised by iPad purchases by business customers.
"We haven't pushed it real hard in business and it's being grabbed out of our hands," Jobs said. "The more time that passes, the more I am convinced that we've got a tiger by the tail."

There is an inherent problem with 'cutter rigged' boats: the headstay and forestay (where the little FOREstaysail flies) both share a single backstay.
backstay reacting with TWO forward stays.
The result of a sloppy headstay is that when windloaded the bigger of the two sails (the headsail) stretches the headstay disproportionately more than the staysail stretches out the forestay .... and as a result the forestay increases tension as the headstay simultaneously
. The sail shape result is that the headsail luff curve (luff hollow) no longer matches the expected 'sag' of the headstay.... and the headsail becomes draft aft, the leech hooks up to weather and the draft radically 'deepens'. All this increases the boats tendancy to SKID OFF TO LEEWARD (a common trait of cutters - they cant point unless set up 'differently' than a 'sloop') and aggressively 'heel over' while going SLOW. The skid to leeward adds undue side pressure to the rudder (and keel) .... and the helmsman usually erroneously blames 'weather helm'. So, the first thing to do in a cutter rigged boat when you 'think' you have 'weather helm' is to look at the stern wake to be SURE that its is coming off at NO MORE than 4-5° from the center line when close hauled. If so, there are two solutions:
1. release tension in the FORESTAY so the BACKSTAY reacts primarily with the HEADSTAY, ..... tensions 'mostly' the headstay and prevents undue 'sag to leeward' of the headstay AND the headsail.
2. Apply additional tension to the headstay/forestay combo via RUNNING BACKSTAYS .... or backstay tensioner (but dont 'bust' the rig by over-tension).
3. HOW MUCH TENSION IS NEEDED? .... go to:
and check the 'match' between the 'luff hollow' of the headsail and the SAG in the headstay.... and adjust backstay or running backstay tension so that the 'luff hollow' curve closely MATCHES the 'sagging headstay' geometry ... and adjust backstay/runner tension (and unload the forestay) so the two shapes/geometries of sagging headstay and the 'luff hollow curve' are EQUAL !!!!!
Note: depending on the mast position (true cutter will be with the mast at 40-50% back from the bow, sprit., etc.), when youre running correct headstay tension the boat will typically sail quite well at all points with just the headsail and staysail, & NO main and with just a slight 'helm change'. Most of Bob Perry's (true) cutter rigs can do this .... all depends on that headstay tension !!!!!!
Note2: All the applied force from a jibsheet winch, will equilibrate to the headstay ... if you have gorillas as winch grinders, then plan on increased backstay tension .... or the sag of the headstay will greatly increase due to the 'sheeting loads'. Dont 'overdo' the winch grinding !!!!!!!
is probably 99% of non-racing sailors (sloops, cutters, etc. etc. etc.) have no idea of how to properly raise/shape a woven dacron mainsail !!!!!!!!! go to:
How to properly RAISE a woven dacron mainsail - SailboatOwners.com
Once you have the luff shape correct for the headsail/forestay (I usually run my forestay as low as ~5% when 'beating', backstay @~20%, therefore headstay @15+%) .... and on a hard beat in 10-15kts: then apply ADDITIONAL mainsail halyard (or cunningham) strain/tension ...... to move the mainsails *position of maximum draft* FORWARD ... which also 'opens' the leech (leech exit should be parallel with the boat's centerline), ...... until the 'helm' goes 'dead fish' neutral, then back off until you get a 'slight' weather helm. ....
Weather Helm is usually a result of improper *position/location of maximum draft* in setting/shaping/raising the
(all boats!!!!!!!).
A cutter has the additional problem of usually a 'NON CONSTANT TENSIONED or loose headstay' that promotes leeward skids (erroneously 'felt' as 'weather helm').
If you do BOTH of these Suggestions, your cutter will point like a banshee (sometimes better than a sloop rig) and with an almost 'neutral' helm. However, the rig has to be properly tuned first, including the needed mast 'prebend'.
If this works and makes your cutter point like a banshee and with a 'light' helm, Id appreciate to know.

2013 SRT Viper GTS Car Images
About This Car
- 2012 New York Auto Show
- 2013
- Coupe
- Sports car
- United States
The all-new 2013 SRT® Viper was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, marking its highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market.
The fifth generation of the iconic two-seat, American-built supercar has been deliberately evolved to incorporate superior craftsmanship, a host of new technologies and ergonomic improvements while respecting its visceral legacy of outright performance.
"After a gut-wrenching period of uncertainty, the Street and Racing Technology brand team is extremely proud that our hand-built in Detroit, flagship supercar is back and ready to take on the performance car world," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – Street and Racing Technology Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. "Beyond being the flagship for the new SRT brand, the launch of the 2013 Viper proves that we simply would not let the performance icon of the Chrysler Group die. Willed to live on by a very special group of performance enthusiasts inside the company and across Viper Nation, this SRT team under our new leadership was challenged to not just continue the legendary Viper, but to create a world-class supercar that would showcase the very best we have to offer."
For the 2013 model year, two new models of the iconic supercar will be hand built at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit – the home for Viper since 1995. Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials and new exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details that are beautifully integrated into the high-tech carbon fiber and aluminum skin. On the inside, designers and engineers strived to rethink all touch points; and upgrade all material appointments and technologies.
"The SRT Viper model is meant to offer a perfect blend of extreme performance and a deliberate preservation of what has become the iconic DNA of the Viper," Gilles added. "We strove to deliver a supercar that continues to bring the driver as close as possible to the machine."
The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of the SRT Viper model with more technologically advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this world-class GTS to find new limits on the track while also opening up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme performance formula. Designed and built with premium features and materials inside and out, the Viper GTS will compete with the best performance vehicles in the world with a wide range of creature comforts, advanced drivetrain and interior technologies.
"We've purposely evolved the iconic soul and raw performance formula that Viper has maintained over the years," Gilles said. "Our returning customers will see the world-class levels of pride, quality and hand craftsmanship built into the 2013 Viper. With two price classes of the SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS, we have offerings for both the traditional core Viper customer and for the new customer who wants the same performance in a package with more technology and premium creature comforts."
At the heart and soul of the 2013 SRT Viper is the venerable, hand-assembled 8.4-liter all-aluminum, V-10 overhead-valve engine.
Improvements for 2013 include a new, ultra-high flow and lightweight composite intake manifold, high-strength forged pistons, sodium-filled exhaust valves, new catalysts to reduce back pressure and an aluminum flywheel that reduces reciprocating losses. More than 25 pounds has been shaved from the fully dressed engine.
Preliminary performance ratings for the SRT-engineered V-10 Viper are 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated engine in the world.
The Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission has been improved with a shorter throw shifter, closer gear ratios and a final drive ratio that has been shortened to 3.55 from 3.07. The 2013 Viper models will be more engaging to drive and top speed is now achieved through 6th gear with maximum engine speed (redline) at 6,200 rpm.
Starting with a stiffer structure that provides 50 percent more torsional rigidity, the chassis of the 2013 SRT Viper benefits from numerous enhancements – many learned through racing efforts with Viper GTS-R and Competition Coupe models.
Major updates include the addition of a new aluminum "X" brace under the hood that ties the suspension pickup points to the magnesium cowl super casting and contributes to improved torsional rigidity and stiffness. A new aluminum impact beam at the front of the car contributes to overall mass savings and improved weight distribution while providing excellent crashworthiness.
Structurally, many areas of the chassis were reworked to take advantage of new materials, reduce thickness in some areas and reshape components for more structural rigidity in others. The result is an overall weight savings of approximately 100 pounds.
At the rear, the suspension has been re-engineered with the toe link moved forward of the axle for better tow control and dynamic stability.
A new, driver selectable two-mode suspension system, featuring Bilstein DampTronic Select shock absorbers with both street and track settings, is standard on GTS models.
For 2013, SRT Viper models ride on standard Pirelli P Zero, Z-rated tires with substantially improved overall performance, cold weather performance, enhanced overall grip and steering response on a variety of road surfaces while also broadening the performance envelope. An optional SRT Track Package features Pirelli P Zero Corsa, "soft"-tuned, "racing-type" compound tires that improve handling and precision further on the road or the race track.
For the first time, standard safety technologies such as electronic stability control and traction control help to maximize traction performance at virtually any speed and driving environment.
All 2013 Viper models will come with a steering-wheel-mounted launch control switch, allowing for optimal acceleration from standing starts.
Stopping performance for the 2013 SRT Viper is engineered to provide shorter stopping distances, better modulation, improved durability and balanced brake performance without fading under extreme conditions.
Four-piston Brembo brakes with fixed-aluminum calipers, and vented rotors with a diameter of 355 mm by 32 mm, are used at all four corners. Brake calipers are forged and weight optimized by fully machining all surfaces. The calipers are among the stiffest available with distortion from heat nearly eliminated even under the most demanding braking conditions.
The available SRT Track Package features lightweight and slotted two-piece rotors from StopTech.
The all-new, driver-oriented interior cabins of the SRT Viper models have been totally revamped for 2013 with superior craftsmanship, premium material appointments and performance-oriented technologies.
For the first time, all major interior surfaces are sewn and wrapped with additional padding applied in comfort areas. On the Viper GTS model, all surfaces are fully leather skinned, and standard accent colors are applied to the seats, doors, center console and stitching.
Quality fit and finish across the lineup is showcased by triple-paint-finished Gun Metal appliqués on the cluster bezel, HVAC outlets, window switch bezels, shifter base, park brake bezel and the integrated passenger grab handle on the center console.
Standard high-performance racing seats from Sabelt feature a lightweight Kevlar/fiberglass shell created by a state-of-the-art resin transfer molding technology for mass reduction and long-term durability. Both driver and passenger enjoy improved comfort from thigh support and deep side bolsters designed to match the extreme lateral acceleration capabilities of the SRT Viper.
Seating position in the 2013 SRT Viper models is 20 mm lower for more room and enhanced performance-driving ergonomics. Seat travel is extended by 90 mm overall, which enables expanded seating options from a more rearward positioned bulkhead. For the first time, seat height can be adjusted by up to 40 mm – manually on the SRT model and power controlled on the GTS.
The new 2013 Viper is the most spacious model in the history of the nameplate. The floor pan and bulkhead have been extended approximately 90 mm to provide improved legroom and more rearward seat track movement.
Designed specifically for the 2013 SRT Viper, the new 7-inch, full-color, customizable instrument cluster display uses a full-time analog tachometer readout in the center to confirm the performance driving feedback philosophy of the Viper. Drivers have a wide range of custom and personal options such as an additional digital speedometer readout just below the tachometer. The vehicle information is clearly communicated with easy-to-understand icons. Intuitively controlled through a simple four-way steering-wheel control, the driver can configure the screens to display the information they desire, easily mixing and matching information.
The 2013 SRT Viper lineup includes the new, next generation Uconnect® Access in-vehicle connectivity system that provides drivers with access to more information, emergency services, more entertainment and improved graphics.
Viper customers can choose between two Uconnect Media Centers, RA3 and RA4, which provide a range of new features and multiple ways to control media in the vehicle. The system includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen along with a set of hard keys for commonly used functions, including traditional knobs for tuning the radio bands and radio volume. Touchscreen buttons along the bottom of the screen allow drivers to easily access the radio, climate controls, navigation, phone, and new, select, certified applications. The new, highly sculpted steering wheel has a host of finger-tip mounted controls for audio, Uconnect, cruise control (first application) and launch control.
SiriusXM Travel Link also is available with Uconnect, providing premium data services and information to make every trip more efficient. SiriusXM Traffic works with the vehicle's navigation system to display traffic speed and traffic flow information along with accident information to assist drivers in routing around congested areas. An expanded SiriusXM channel lineup includes exclusive programming, including the new SiriusXM Latino channels, an auto industry first.
A range of Harman Kardon® surround-sound systems are available across the SRT Viper lineup that feature the latest in audio system technology. All Harman Kardon audio systems include a high-voltage class D amplifier with tracking power supply and up to 11 channels of amplification. The Harman Kardon system with exclusive Logic 7 surround-sound processing is available in the Viper GTS model with a total of 18-speakers, including four subwoofers located behind the seats. All Harman Kardon systems in the 2013 SRT Viper lineup include high-performance, high-efficiency GreenEdge technology loudspeakers that are extremely light and include rare earth magnets. The magnets inside each speaker ensure efficient speaker operation and enhanced performance. The audio systems operate on 32 volts – so the new and improved sound system achieves more than double the acoustic power of the current system.

"The Justice Department did not provide the facts and the information we requested," House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on the House floor. In addition, Boehner said, the government "admitted to misleading Congress."
On Thursday, Republicans rejected the Democratic assertion that their fight is simply political in nature.
"I hear the stuff about witch hunt and about politics and it gets me sick," Florida Republican Rep. Rich Nugent said on the House floor. "As a former law enforcement officer, we should be more worried about what lousy policies that Attorney General Holder is covering up that caused the death of one of our own in protecting this country." Nugent invoked the name of border patrol agent Brian Terry, who was killed on Dec. 2010. Weapons related to Fast and Furious were found at his murder scene.
The National Rifle Association, which contends the government used the operation to promote stricter gun control laws, inserted itself into Thursday's vote by warning lawmakers last week that it will use the contempt vote to rate lawmakers. The organization's decision placed added pressure on House Democrats in gun-friendly districts. Hoyer conceded that some members would change their votes accordingly.
The vote had 17 Democrats joining with 238 Republicans to hold the attorney general in contempt.

Discoloration in Black molly We brought a black molly couple (male and female) home, two months back. They are housed in a 12 inch fish bowl. We do a 20% water change daily and around 80% water change once in a week after cleaning the bowl. We feed them fish food pellets around 6-8 pellets for both the fishes 3-4 times a day. And the bowl contains stones at the bottom and an aquatic plant in it. When we got the fishes, the female molly had silver patches under her face near the gills but we think that the patches are increasing in size now. In addition I see that her fins are beginning to become translucent towards the end. I am not sure if this discoloration is due to a disease or not, the male molly seems to be just fine. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uk...0/IMG_5652.jpg http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5u...0/IMG_5648.jpg Another thing I observed is that my fishes wiggle a lot, wanted to know if this is normal fish behaviour. Also wanted to know if the plant in background is safe for the fishes? The guy at the aquarium provided us with this plant. I live in India btw. Kindly advise what steps need to be taken; the fish seem to be healthy and enjoying themselves. Thanks in advance :) |
I think you might be overfeeding them also, adult fish only need to be fed once/twice a day in very small amounts. I would suggest you read the profile on the Molly and it's requirements...Common Molly (Poecilia sphenops) Profile |
Thank you for replying beaches. What I meant by wiggling was they move their bodies side to side staying at the same place, their tail will be in opposite direction to their head and they sway their bodies... umm... something like this.. and vigorously sometimes http://nicholsoncartoons.com.au/wp-c...wiggle-550.jpg And yeah we have observed them Shimmying as well, when we transfer them to another container during the bowl cleanup; they also shimmy during late night hours .. I am not sure if they are sleeping though. But as such throughout the day they keep on scaling the circumference of the Bowl. Currently we dont monitor the pH value of the water or temperature; we were told by the aquarium person that a day old tap water can be used for the fishes as it would be devoid of chlorine. Is there a way by which I can determine if the molly is suffering from a fin rot? And are there any medications out there that may help to stop the spread of the fungi in its tracks? And thanks for the suggestion we will cut their food supplies as over feeding might lead to bloating and the fish might settle at the bottom of the tank . Additionally can the male fish be the reason of stress in the female? I just read that you should not have a single male and female in the same tank else the male drives the female crazy http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...031/#post89206 Also I would like to know which vegetables can be fed to them, can I give them shredded cabbage, spinach or other green leafy vegetables? |
My question is; In India can you buy a proper tank, filter, heater and test kits for those fish? Because that is what they need! Fin rot (shredded/disappearing/frayed fins) if that is what they have is usually a result of poor water quality & stress, it can often be nipped in the bud if water quality is improved and stress factors removed as much as possible. Does the white area look fuzzy at all? could also be columnarus.... here is a link to the diseases http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/t...es-8179/page2/ My advice, is that you stop listening to the LFS employee, do your own research and buy the appropriate setup/equipment for the fish as soon as possible or return the fish if you can't house them proberly, because honestly it is doing them a disservice keeping them in that bowl. In the meantime, I would be doing at least minimum of 50% water changes every day to keep ammonia levels down, cutting back on the amount of food will also help. You really need test kits, if you don't have them the LFS may be able to test it for you. I don't know what the water is like in India, but if it has chloramines in it, you need a dechlorinator, also just letting the water sit overnight may not release all the chlorine, so the safest way is to use a dechlorinator. Yes! The male can cause a lot of stress to the female if he is harassing her constantly. The ratio is 1m to 2-3 females, so the harassment is distributed. Yes! You can feed those veggies (if feeding lettuce, normal lettuce has no nutritional value and isn't good for them, Romaine lettuce is best), blanched zucchine/cucumber is good and deshelled squished/cut up peas are very beneficial for fish and very good for constipation. Most veggies you should soften them in a bit of water in the microwave or 10-30 secs. first. |
Just to add Anurag...I know there are cultural differences between countries and in India it might be acceptable/common practice to keep fish in bowls, when I said you are doing them a disservice, I was looking at it purely with the welfare of the fish in mind and they will be a lot healthier/live longer if housed in the appropriate environment. |

Evaluation of Transmission Line Model Structures for Silicide-to-Silicon Specific Contact Resistance Extraction
Stavitski, Natalie and Dal, Mark J.H. van and Lauwers, Anne and Vrancken, Christa and Kovalgin, Alexey Y. and Wolters, Rob A.M. (2008) Evaluation of Transmission Line Model Structures for Silicide-to-Silicon Specific Contact Resistance Extraction. IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 55 (5). pp. 1170-1176. ISSN 0018-9383
435kB |
Abstract: | In order to measure silicide-to-silicon specific contact resistance ρc, transmission line model (TLM) structures were proposed as attractive candidates for embedding in CMOS processes.
We optimized TLM structures for nickel silicide and platinum silicide and evaluated them for various doping levels of n- and p-type Si. The measurement limitations and accuracy of the specific contact resistance extraction from the optimized TLM structures are discussed in this paper. |

Re: LEDs afloat
It's wonderful to live in an age where we have choices. I recall when I had a battery go down using the old 1157s. It was off the coast and with the navs down in a shipping lane I had reason to sweat. Saving current is very important on sailboats because if you love sailing you have a tendency to forget about the aux power (if you have any) and how it's needed to charge the system. I now carry independent AA battery powered back up LEDs as well as back up Gel batteries. No, maybe my back ups are not CG approved but in a pitch it is better to have something than nothing. Because in the end it's about safety -not the law.
Many feel my oil lamps, compass's and water tanks are redundant but I consider the new tech with the option of failure. In fact I still carry candles.

Report: Terrence Williams arrested in domestic violence case involving threats with a gun
May 20, 2013, 7:58 AM EDT
Veteran NBA swingman Terrence Williams, who played last season with the Celtics, was arrested Sunday, according to multiple reports.
The charges stem from a domestic violence dispute in Kent, Washington (a city between Seattle and Tacoma that is part of the metropolitan area near where he grew up), according to the Kent Reporter.
The victim reported that the father of her 10-year-old son in common, identified as NBA basketball player Terrence D. Williams, arrived to her home for a scheduled visitation exchange of their son. She said during the exchange in the parking lot area an argument ensued. The victim reported that during the argument Williams brandished a firearm and made threats.
Williams left the area prior to police arrival, but was later located and taken into custody.
Williams was in police custody as of Sunday night, according to tweets from Chris Daniels of KING TV. The investigation is ongoing but police are booking him, Daniels reports.
Williams is currently under contract to the Boston Celtics for next season, however that is not guaranteed if he is waived before July 1, and only partially guaranteed if waived before Oct. 31. He joined the Celtics on a 10-day contract in February, stayed with them the rest of the season and actually caused some problems for the Knicks during their first round series against Boston.
Williams has played in four NBA seasons after the Nets took him with the No. 11 pick back in 2009 out of Louisville.

So here comes the trolls to hate on a guy based on one woman's account of the events, even though there is zero evidence outside of her claim he threatened her. Maybe he did threaten her, but we all know its "guilty until proven innocent" these days so judgement will be passed immediately by the ignorant.
- saint1997 - May 20, 2013 at 9:12 AM
Man it's sad when people throw away livelihoods like that. What kind of example is that setting for his kids?

And here I am sitting here thinking he learned something by having to grind it out in China. Turns out I am the sucker.
- cmehustle - May 20, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Good thing we picked him at 11. You know over scrubs like Drew Holiday, Gerald Henderson, Ty Lawson, Taj Gibson, and Jeff Teague. Another terrific pick by Rod Thorn…
- 13arod - May 20, 2013 at 2:56 PM
i fon't get why people have to be bad people just don't get it
- dacapt704 - May 20, 2013 at 4:49 PM
Its funny back when the Celtics signed him I posted on this very same blog and questioned the decision because T.Will had the reputation of a knucklehead…when I posted that, it received many more thumbs down than up! Guess I may have been right…Its not "hate" if its true

Newbie Looking for Tips
Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to all of this stuff. So far I've managed to put together 4 different Walstad-method bowls for bettas, snails and ghost shrimp. I've recently started experimenting with threading java moss to stones, wood, etc. Basically, I'm graduating college next week and don't have tons of cash, but love the hobby. I've set up all of my bowls for about less than $20 and all are doing well despite some negative comments from people on my pictures. I plan to eventually set up a nice big filtered tank when I can afford to, but sticking to the low-tech for now. My questions: What's the best place to find driftwood? My next bowl will be for RCS that I ordered through my LFS. I'm thinking of using pool filter sand instead of gravel for my cap. Besides java moss, what are some other plants that would do well in a Walstad bowl that aren't gonna hurt my pocket? Any other tips for a newbie? Please be nice haha. Thanks!! |

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
2010 Chevrolet HHR - SS
Pros: handling brakes speed
Cons: 18 in, tires are loud no dual exhaust
Advice: buy the ss
this is my second hhr ' first was a base 2007. this one now is a ss automatic. i just love this ss. lots of speed, great brakes,26 mpg all around driving,handles like a sports car, -
2009 Hyundai Santa Fe - Limited (A5) FWD
Pros: 2nd row reclining seat backs
Cons: No auto locking door feature when shifted into drive
Advice: Put this vehicle on your list when shopping for a SUV/CUV
Good looking and overall a nice vehicle. It's not perfect but for the price and the great warranty it is a very good value. I do wish it had a few more standard features such as automatic locking doors when shifted into Drive, back up sensor monitors and power passenger seat on Limited model. -
2010 Acura RDX - FWD
Pros: motor
Cons: colour
Advice: watch the colour

2009 Jeep Patriot - Limited 4x4
Pros: Low price for a usable 4x4
Cons: Road noise
Advice: Make sure you test drive at high speed on a variety of roads
Just a quick bit of info if you are thinking of buying one of these. Most of what you need to know you can get from the staff reviews. I was thinking of buying a Patriot 4x4 to replace my 92 ford explorer and get the 4500 rebate. So I rented a patriot for a day. Here's a few things I think the 'average' person should keep in mind when reading the reviews of the Patriot. With the current rebates, which can add up to $9000, you will get a heck of a deal for this kind of vehicle. Here's the good news - pay little attention to complaints that the engine doesn't have enough power or that the CVT is a drawback. I found that the power is adequate for any sort of normal driving. You can easily zip away from stoplights and merge into traffic, just give it the gas and let the engine and transmission do their thing. The engine noise isn't all that bad even at redline during hard acceleration. Here's the bad - as almost all the reviews say, you get a lot of road noise. It was just too much for me and it gets tiring after a while, you really have to speak up to be heard over the noise. Keep in mind that different road surfaces create different amounts of noise and it's mostly noticable at speeds over 50 mph. My old explorer has a full frame that really isolates the body from the suspension and it's a very quite vehicle, these new unibody, lightweight vehicles just don't have that kind of isolation without the car maker working at it. Chrysler needs to work harder in the noise area. If most of your driving is around town it may not be a big issue for you. -
2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara - Luxury (A5) 4x2
Pros: Steering Wheel Audio Controls
Cons: Back swing door
Advice: BUY IT! You'll Love It!
I was very surprized with how well this SUV handles and drives! It surprizes me all the time! It is a great car! I love it! -
2009 Jeep Liberty - Limited Edition 4x2
Pros: all around capability and comfort
Cons: engine sounds like its straining on accerleration or load.
Advice: this is the best towing capacity you can get without going truck. (I searched a lot)
ride is a bit rolly on turns or washboard roads but totally secure. towing is amazing. i had to back up a soft, gravel road uphill backwards with a 5000lb boat/trailer and it did the job amazingly well. pulling the boat up a slippery ramp is easy with 4w-low. miserable winter conditions are handled easily, and with remote start, awd and high clearance, i didn't have to worry about getting started in the morning, or whether roads were plowed. i carry lots of cargo and it has great space. my last car was a grand cherokee ltd hemi and i like this one better. ( my 21 yr old daughter got one, too) -
2008 Hyundai Santa Fe - Limited (A5) FWD
Pros: Looks
Cons: Firm ride
Advice: Definitely test drive before buying another brand.
Very nice vehicle. The ride is a bit firm but not bad. Great vehicle for the price. Watch out Honda and Toyota, Hyundai is moving up fast.

The second in a series of video clips featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the new album from Italian power metallers KALEDON can be seen below. The CD was recorded at Outer Sound Studio in Rome, Italy by Giuseppe Orlando (NOVEMBRE). An early 2013 release is expected.
KALEDON's best-of album, "Mightiest Hits", was released in January via Scarlet Records. The band's most recent studio CD, "Legend Of The Fogotten Reign: Chapter VI - The Last Night On The Battlefield", came out in July 2010 via Scarlet. The sixth installment of the saga started in 2002 was previously described as a return to the band's power metal roots: powerful, melodic and extremely captivating. The artwork was created by renowned artist J.P. Fournier (EDGUY, AVANTASIA, IMMORTAL).KALEDON: Video Footage From The Studio

Reporting Dead Birds in South Carolina
Clemson University Livestock Poultry Health Department
South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
Updated 12/23/14
Normal Bird Mortality:
- An occasional dead bird is a normal, natural occurrence in either wild or domesticated flocks.
- Trauma is the most common cause of mortality in wild birds and some flocking birds can be killed in surprising numbers by certain types of trauma.
- Normally, the finding of fewer than 5 dead birds in one location that are not sentinel species (such as blue jays and crows) or raptors does not warrant an investigation.
- A single dead bird will be tested only if it is a species of special interest (such as Blue Jays, American or Fish Crows, eagles, raptors).
Collecting, Removing, and Storing Dead Birds:
- Dead birds should not be handled with bare hands. Maintain a physical barrier.
- To collect or remove dead birds from the environment:
- Pick up the bird with doubled plastic bags that have been turned inside out.
- Then, invert and seal the doubled plastic bag with the bird inside.
- To dispose of the bird:
- Place the bag in household garbage.
- As an alternative, bury the dead bird (without being bagged) by handling the bird with a shovel.
- To store a dead bird prior to delivery for testing:
- Bag and place the bird on ice or keep it cool until the bird can be refrigerated
- Use clear plastic bags if possible so that the bird can be seen through the bags.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
For questions about dead birds, SC citizens may contact the following agencies:
- Domesticated Poultry (chickens, turkeys, quail, pheasants, ducks, geese):
- Clemson University Livestock Poultry Health Division: 803-788-2260.
- Wild Waterfowl, Shorebirds, Songbirds: (5 or more dead in one place)
- South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SC DNR): 800-922-5431
- Eagles:
- SC DNR - Derrell Shipes: 803-734-3938
- Raptor Die-offs (hawks, falcons, vultures, owls, and osprey):
- SC DNR requests that raptors be submitted only if unusual die-offs occur. If an unusual number of dead raptors start appearing, call Derrell Shipes: 803-734-3938
- Local SC DHEC County Offices (http://www.scdhec.gov/health/countymap.htm).
- Birds may be submitted from March 15 to November 30.
- Further instructions for submitting dead birds or West Nile virus testing can be found at: www.scdhec.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/ReportIt/ReportDeadBirds/
- Poultry: The owner should contact their veterinarian.
- Wild Birds: Contact the SC DNR for information on local wildlife rehabilitators.

ok so about a 1 1/2 months ago I installed my toytec ultimate with TC UCA's. These UCA's were recommended by many people on the forum and the Uniball design made sense to me that it would be better for alignment. After my suspension settled I needed another alignment. The settings were maxed out and perfect alignment could not be acheived. The technician there, being an FJ owner and Toyota enthusiast himself said I needed the Light Racing UCA's because they are more adjustable where the UCA connects with the HUB. Up until then I had no idea that the LR's were even adjustable.
Luckily I found the TC's used for $400 rather than the $670 new so I'm not so dissapointed if I have to buy the LR's. I just want to make sure that the adjustment on the LR's will give me what I need for alignment before I buy them. Any input from you more experianced suspension guys is greatly apprecitated. TIA
