Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor
The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor is a protein found on the surface of human cells. It is a transmembrane receptor that is activated by a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and by a related hormone called IGF-2. It belongs to the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. This receptor mediates the effects of IGF-1, which is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. IGF-1 plays an important role in growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults - meaning that it can induce hypertrophy of skeletal muscle and other target tissues. Mice lacking the IGF-1 receptor die late in development, and show a dramatic reduction in body mass, testifying to the strong growth-promoting effect of this receptor. Mice carrying only one functional copy of IGF-1R are normal, but exhibit a ~15% decrease in body mass.
Two alpha subunits and two beta subunits make up the IGF-1 receptor. Both the α and β subunits are synthesized from a single mRNA precursor. The precursor is then glycosylated, proteolytically cleaved, and crosslinked by cysteine bonds to form a functional transmembrane αβ chain.[1] The α chains are located extracellularly, while the β subunit spans the membrane and is responsible for intracellular signal transduction upon ligand stimulation. The mature IGF-1R has a molecular weight of approximately 320 kDa. The receptor is a member of a family which consists of the insulin receptor and the IGF-2R (and their respective ligands IGF-1 and IGF-2), along with several IGF-binding proteins.
IGF-1R and the insulin receptor both have a binding site for ATP, which is used to provide the phosphates for autophosphorylation (see below). There is a 60% homology between IGF-1R and the insulin receptor.
In response to ligand binding, the α chains induce the tyrosine autophosphorylation of the β chains. This event triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling that, while cell type-specific, often promotes cell survival and cell proliferation.[2][3]
Family members[edit]
Tyrosine kinase receptors, including the IGF-1 receptor, mediate their activity by causing the addition of a phosphate groups to particular tyrosines on certain proteins within a cell. This addition of phosphate induces what are called "cell signaling" cascades - and the usual result of activation of the IGF-1 receptor is survival and proliferation in mitosis-competent cells, and growth (hypertrophy) in tissues such as skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
During embryonic development, the IGF-1R pathway is involved with the developing limb buds.
The IGFR signalling pathway is of critical importance during normal development of mammary gland tissue during pregnancy and lactation. During pregnancy, there is intense proliferation of epithelial cells which form the duct and gland tissue. Following weaning, the cells undergo apoptosis and all the tissue is destroyed. Several growth factors and hormones are involved in this overall process, and IGF-1R is believed to have roles in the differentiation of the cells and a key role in inhibiting apoptosis until weaning is complete.
Role in cancer[edit]
The IGF-1R is implicated in several cancers,[4][5] including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. In some instances its anti-apoptotic properties allow cancerous cells to resist the cytotoxic properties of chemotherapeutic drugs or radiotherapy. In breast cancer, where EGFR inhibitors such as erlotinib are being used to inhibit the EGFR signaling pathway, IGF-1R confers resistance by forming one half of a heterodimer (see the description of EGFR signal transduction in the erlotinib page), allowing EGFR signaling to resume in the presence of a suitable inhibitor. This process is referred to as crosstalk between EGFR and IGF-1R. It is further implicated in breast cancer by increasing the metastatic potential of the original tumour by inferring the ability to promote vascularisation.
Increased levels of the IGF-IR are expressed in the majority of primary and metastatic prostate cancer patient tumors.[6] Evidence suggests that IGF-IR signaling is required for survival and growth when prostate cancer cells progress to androgen independence.[7] In addition, when immortalized prostate cancer cells mimicking advanced disease are treated with the IGF-1R ligand, IGF-1, the cells become more motile.[8] Members of the IGF receptor family and their ligands also seem to be involved in the carcinogenesis of mammary tumors of dogs.[9][10] IGF1R is amplified in several cancer types based on analysis of TCGA data, and gene amplification could be one mechanism for overexpression of IGF1R in cancer.[11]
Role in insulin signaling[edit]
IGF-1 binds to at least two cell surface receptors: the IGF1 Receptor (IGFR), and the insulin receptor. The IGF-1 receptor seems to be the "physiologic" receptor - it binds IGF-1 at significantly higher affinity than it binds the insulin receptor. Like the insulin receptor, the IGF-1 receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase - meaning it signals by causing the addition of a phosphate molecule on particular tyrosines. IGF-1 activates the insulin receptor at approximately 0.1x the potency of insulin. Part of this signaling may be via IGF1R/insulin receptor heterodimers (the reason for the confusion is that binding studies show that IGF1 binds the insulin receptor 100-fold less well than insulin, yet that does not correlate with the actual potency of IGF1 in vivo at inducing phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, and hypoglycemia).
Effects of aging[edit]
Studies in female mice have shown that both supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) lose approximately one-third of IGF-1R immunoreactive cells with normal aging. Also, old calorically restricted (CR) mice lost higher numbers of IGF-1R non-immunoreactive cells while maintaining similar counts of IGF-1R immunoreactive cells in comparison to old-Al mice. Consequently, old-CR mice show a higher percentage of IGF-1R immunoreactive cells, reflecting increased hypothalamic sensitivity to IGF-1 in comparison to normally aging mice.[12][13]
Role in Craniosynostosis[edit]
Mutations in IGF1R have been associated with craniosynostosis.[14]
Due to the similarity of the structures of IGF-1R and the insulin receptor (IR), especially in the regions of the ATP binding site and tyrosine kinase regions, synthesising selective inhibitors of IGF-1R is difficult. Prominent in current research are three main classes of inhibitor:
- Tyrphostins such as AG538[15] and AG1024. These are in early pre-clinical testing. They are not thought to be ATP-competitive, although they are when used in EGFR as described in QSAR studies. These show some selectivity towards IGF-1R over IR.
- Pyrrolo(2,3-d)-pyrimidine derivatives such as NVP-AEW541, invented by Novartis, which show far greater (100 fold) selectivity towards IGF-1R over IR.[16]
- Monoclonal antibodies are probably the most specific and promising therapeutic compounds. Those currently undergoing trials include figitumumab.
Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor has been shown to interact with:
There is evidence to suggest that IGF1R is negatively regulated by the microRNA miR-7.[33]

Do you go all out for a judging parade?
For big parades like Firemen conventions,anniversary parades etc...How much do you clean your apparatus? I know in my town for the Nj state firemens convention we strip our truck down all the tools and ladders off and clean them real good...Then we wax the truck. and the truck is spotless but its ALOT of work. I was just wondering what other Depts do for parades and stuff.

ENGINE58...Andrew....Being one of your biggest rivals/State Champions '95, '96, '97 and 1998 We at Stratford, NJ know and will have to agree with you it is Hard Work and Long Hours before convention time ...We have started already and the work is brutal !! We go right down to the wheel lug nuts on a truck and polish everything---Yes the Polishing, Stripping, Painting, repairing, and General Up-Keep is a pain---We'll be there again this year in full force looking to regain our title from Burlington City...Wish all you guys from South Amboy the best of Luck...Look for the Beech Ball at Convention Hall !!!

JEFFERSON CITY — A state judge has struck down a Missouri law that imposed new ethics and campaign finance requirements.
But the state attorney general's office said it will appeal Thursday's decision by Cole County Circuit Judge Dan Green and urged people to continue following the ethics law in the meantime.
At issue is a law that restricts the shuffling of money among political committees and requires quicker reporting of many campaign contributions during the legislative session. Other provisions create new crimes related to bribery, obstruction of ethics investigations and lobbyist reporting of expenses on behalf of public officials.
The judge said the law violates the state constitution's requirement to contain a single subject. He also said a ban on donations by state-chartered banks to political action committees violates free speech rights.

Criminal Justice Center Creating a footprint around an important and busy municipal building
PROJECT OWNER City of Philadelphia Philadelphia Municipal Authority c/o The Vitetta Group 642 N. Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19130 Mr. Francis Vitetta 215-235-3500
COMPLETED: 1994 Total Project Cost: $87M Synterra Responsibility:$1.2M
Creating a site design appropriate for a building's physical scale and stature within a community can often complete what would otherwise seem unfinished. And while the aesthetic value of a streetscape has value in itself, the careful planning of a building's entryways, approaches, exits and general pedestrian traffic is what ultimately proves a streetscape's success. For the Criminal Justice Center, site analysis showed that this particular building required wider sidewalks to accommodate large groups of people and impromptu meetings while allowing ample room for passersby. Planting trees near corner entrances created gathering spaces while providing a softened buffer to the building facade. Paving patterns were designed to direct pedestrians into the building and to elevate the grandeur of the building's entrance. Granite provides a coordinated transition between the building facade and the paver entryway. The result is a carefully executed extension of the building's footprint onto the sidewalk and out to the street. The completed streetscape addresses all public use needs delivering function in addition to aesthetics.

The description makes it sound as though the outlined flowers are only at the top of the comforter. However, it is the reverse as the colorful flowers make up less than 1/4 of the comforter and the rest is the outlined flowers. The photo is deceiving. They show the comforter folded back so you see mostly colorful flowers rather than the black and white that makes up most of this comforter. I will say, though, the colorful flower part is lovely and the colors are accurate. If you are looking for a mainly black and white comforter then this one is for you but if you want one that has beautiful colors you should look elsewhere as the colored-flower portion of this comforter is minimal.
Beautiful colors and fabric. Looks amazing in my daughters roo .
Colors are exact to picture but the top half is black and white with a few spots of color, like pictured. Underside is a nice solid blue. Material is very soft but not plush and is a very light comforter. My pre-teen likes it a lot .
colors are just like picture,. good quality, nice value
I bought this comforter for my daughter in college. It has great colors and is comfortable. She absolutely loves it !
The quality is great. Price is just worth it. It just fit perfectly in my queen bed. I love the color. I will definitely purchase another one to give as a gift to my family. The only thing that I didn't like was the cushion that came with it. It was kinda hard. It would be better if they included a more softer cushion.

Catholics looking for signs of Bishop-elect Joseph Bambera's readiness to lead the Diocese of Scranton could see it on the chain he wore drawn across his chest on Tuesday.
It was attached to a pectoral cross - an adornment in the Roman Catholic tradition that can be worn by bishops-elect but is generally worn only by ordained bishops. It was tucked into a pocket above his heart during his first public appearance as the future ordinary.
Observers and colleagues read it as a signal of the Vatican's confidence in the bishop-elect, who is expected to begin tackling the challenges facing the diocese even before his installation two months away.
Rocco Palmo, the blogger behind the online Catholic chronicle "Whispers in the Loggia," pointed out that Monsignor Bambera's appointment marks the first time in nearly 60 years that a priest was elevated to the position of bishop of the Scranton diocese before serving as an auxiliary or bishop elsewhere.
That, combined with Monsignor Bambera's unique knowledge of the diocese as a native and his rare appointment directly from an administrative role, demonstrates he "wasn't just the right man for the job, he's the only man for the job," Mr. Palmo said.
Many people used the word "crisis" on Tuesday when Monsignor Bambera's appointment was announced to describe the state of the diocese he will inherit.
Before the announcement, much of the speculation surrounding who would be picked concerned whether the Vatican would call in an outsider with a depth of administrative experience or a diocesan native who might more easily understand and quickly unify the diocese.
Monsignor Bambera's experience contains a bit of both. His six months as the local delegate to interim leader Cardinal Justin Rigali was "his job interview for the last several months," said Joseph K. Grieboski, a diocesan native who runs a religion and policy nonprofit in Washington, D.C.
He said a diocesan priest, especially Monsignor Bambera, can lead the diocese "through a time of healing" beginning now.
"Were they to bring in an outsider, the learning curve would have been too steep to fulfill the needs of the diocese at this point," he said.
Although Monsignor Bambera will not be able to execute the full power of the office until he is installed on April 26, Mr. Palmo said he has already been given tacit control of the diocese, a fact that only "enhances his mandate," he said.
"He can hit the ground running from today."

Not sure Paul what to add, checked out your map for Sud Amerika, looks like you didn't ride Ruta 40 in Patagonia. That's a rough road and much like Russia and Mongolia gravel highways.
Ruta 40 would have given you a better idea of what to prepare for mechanically, mentally and physically but the fact that SA highways didn't killyou say much good about your paved road riding.
Did youdo much dirt in Alaska?
I have ridden South Amerika down and back and it was challanging but Russia and Mongolia are life threatening in ways that mimic the worst of SA. Much of my ride was dirt and gravel-7 time zones.
So it's much longer and the only way out is by train or plane if you don't ride your machine out.
Suspension is critical in Russia because the dirt is rough(potholes)and fast but more on that after you start to wear in your new ride and get closer.
I'd love to see you make it across on your KTM and though my knowledge of Russia is getting dated, I'll help you any way I can.
I used Horizons to establish Russian contacts who met me in Vladivostok...that was very helpfull when they were sober.

The film transpires over day 24 of a contest between Calgary coworkers to see who can stay indoors the longest within the city's massive downtown walkway system. The competitorswhose actual occupations remain a mysteryare reaching their breaking points. Twentysomething Tom (Fabrizio Filippo), a snide trainee with a superhero fixation, keeps spotting a caped crusader out of the corner of his eye. (Surreal, spooky grace notes worthy of Chris Ware abound in waydowntown.) Go-getter Sandra (Marya Delver), light-headed from the recirculated air, obsessively clutches a tear-out perfume sampler to her nose. Tom's cubicle-mate, lifer schlub Bradley (Don McKellar), is left out of the bet but seems to be contemplating a final wager with himself.
Burns renders Calgary's glass-enclosed mall complex as a giant vacuum: vast, anonymous, and stifling. A dark edge of claustrophobic crisis marks even casual encountersTom's ambivalent flirtation with a vampy mallrat (Tammy Isbell) is punctuated by her abrupt retreat into a soundproof booth for a cleansing holler. With wit and empathy to spare, waydowntown acknowledges the silent screams of workaday inertia but stops short of indulging its characters' striving solipsism. Nothing here is the end of the world, just the close of another squandered day.
Hey, Happy!
Written and directed by
Noam Gonick
Opens January 25
The Count of Monte Cristo
Directed by Kevin Reynolds
Written by Jay Wolpert, from the novel by Alexandre Dumas
Opens January 25
Apocalypse is indeed now in Hey, Happy!Noam Gonick fondly renders his native Winnipeg as a barren industrial dump, where outdoor bazaars sparsely stocked with gay porn pass for commercial hubs and an impending flood of biblical proportions threatens to obliterate the town. Taciturn, Keanu-like DJ Sabu (Jeremie Yuen), who's planning an eve-of-destruction rave at the aptly named Garbage Hill, needs to act fast to complete his goal of shtupping 2000 guys before blackout. He sets his eye on dorky Happy (Craig Aftanas), an amateur UFO scientist, but the swoony couple is thwarted by screeching queen bitch Spanky (Clayton Godson). Backed up by his loyal coven of zaftig hairdressers, this short-shorted maenad kidnaps hapless Happy for his own amusement (entailing an ad hoc wedding ceremony eerily reminiscent of the Braveheart finale). Gonick's visceral impulses have drawn comparisons with John Waters, but the starry-eyed collision of gross-out gags and candy-sweet sentiment owes as much of a debt to the Farrellys as Bruce LaBruce. Hey, Happy! is many thingsstoner midnight flick, sci-fi deconstruction, gay fantasiabut above all it's a love story as sanguine as its title.
The week's guilty pleasure is The Count of Monte Cristo, a gorgeously photographed, sumptuously designed adaptation of the Dumas swashbuckler boasting the most ludicrous dialogue since director Kevin Reynolds's Waterworld. Guy Pearce's ruthless nobleman sets up wide-eyed commoner Jim Caviezel on treason charges and steals his woman, while Caviezel, cast away in a hellish prison, receives a crash course in fencing, literature, and economics from ancient cell-neighbor Richard Harris. (But where did all those books come from? And how does Jim maintain his muscle tone and lovely teeth?) Caviezel busts loose to seek his revenge, and once Luis Guzman shows up as the self-invented Count's aide-de-camp, the movie goes wildly contemporary and never winks an eye.

A Thread for those interested in PPSL enclosures
This is a new thread as suggested by Moray James.
For Moray James: What I did was to simulate the enclosure with two speakers in Horn Response. I simulated it as you would an Altec A7 type of speaker but with a front chamber on the horn. This front chamber would be the plenum if I am doing it right. The plenum opening was the horn throat. I rounded the opening a couple of centimetres and used this as the horn. I did do the combined sim to take into account the vents. As I said in the other thread, I don't know if this is anywhere near accurate. Any input from those who have done this type of design would be most welcome. jamikl |

PPSL in Hornresp
Hi jamikl,
I think your model places the speakers at the throat of the front horn (e.g.: CH driver arrangement), I may be better to have them entering the horn from the side @ S2 as in the OD arrangement. I posted in the Klipsch Horn Woofer designs.... thread, Post #30, that I would ask David McBean for help in his Hornresp thread: Hornresp , and he answered in Post #1464. I posted a sample PPSL Hornresp Input Screen in Post #1463, and feel relatively confident, that that is the correct way to model a PPSL in Hornresp. The OD driver arrangement allows you to position the drivers in a short horn of two sections, by keeping the areas S1-S4 the same you create the plenum, and by OD definition the driver is located @ S2. You then use Vrc/Lrc/Ap/Lpt to define you back-chamber BR. Be sure to use the Combined Response for the SPL and resulting Impulse Response. Hopefully someone has some practical dimensions and measurements to compare to the models. Regards,
Oliver |

Hi tb46. Yes I saw your question on the other thread and David's response. I thought I might be doing it wrong but it was quite awhile ago and I didn't know about the other facility in Horn Response so I tried what I tried!!!
Will do it David's way when I get a chance. I did try a la scala derivative with two 12 Inch speakers and posted the result somewhere awhile ago. Its on this forum somewhere!!! jamikl |

Shape of plenum chamber
Hi guys,
When looking at some models in Hornresp I found a pronounced peak in the PPSL frequency response that does not seem to be easy to tame. This may just be something I'm doing wrong, or it may be typical for this type enclosure. I then changed the plenum from its rectangular form to a triangular form and the peak becomes much easier to control in the model. Maybe somebody who knows something about PPSL enclosures (e.g.: djk :-)) can shine some light on this; or maybe we're on to something. Regards,

Your first graph looks like what it does when both drivers face into the plenum, a cavity resonance.
When you flip one of the drivers magnet structure into the plenum the cavity resonance seems to disappear.

Hi djk,
I spend the last week rebuilding my computer after a virus attack. It makes sense that the volume reduction inside the plenum would make a difference, especially if the plenum is kept to a minimum. Thanks for the additional information. Regards,

"Am I mistaken, or do these subwoofer cabinet designs lack the ports that DJK had on some of his enclosures?"
The basic idea behind PPSL is the plenum with the push-pull mounted drivers. The box could be sealed, vented, 6th order vented (most of my designs are 6th order vented), or even dipole (the Linkwitz sub). "What are the benefits of PPSL" Distortion reduction. When I built the first model PPSL over 20 years ago it sounded so different (compared to a 'normal' speaker) that I didn't realize what I was hearing (lack of distortion). It was only when I compared it with a large corner horn that I realized what was happening, that the PPSL was cleaner, less colored, and more musical. "Cant find too much on PPSL...

Small sub choices for rear deck
I drive an '02 Subaru WRX. The vibrations make the bass unlistenable and I am tired of trying to tame it with sound dapening material. I simply do not want to waste any more wattage shaking the trunk.
I would like to know of a good multiple array setup- say 2 eights in a wherein a baffle would be secured under the metal structure beneath the rear deck and cavities (w/ grills) would be cut so no sound gets wasted in trunk. I remember the old JL "micro sub" enclosures, a semi cylylinder with brackets. But they had rear ports. I don't mind ports but I would want it coming up into cabin and not trunk. help. . . |

How about some pictures of the rear of the vehicle? Do your seats fold down? Putting subs on a rear deck lid usually involves adding additional bracing due to the shear weight of the subs. It the seats fold down you may be able to make a baffle behind the seats to hold a couple of subs or make an enclosure that will fit behind the seat blocking off the trunk.Polo..

O.K. I will try to take some pics with my phone cam. The rear deck is small. Seats do not fold down. I would prefer some sort of an enclosure made of baltic birch ply, as I do not like the extra weight MDF
boxes and amp racks add. Baltic is easier to cut, lighter and IMO stronger-which is why it is the industry standard for pro sound anbd bass cabs. thanks. |

NY Daily News - April 25, 2011
by Patrice O'ShaughnessyFor their diligent and valiant efforts to preserve life in the March 13 blaze, Hogan and Dunn are the Daily News Heroes of the Month.
When he heard about Chen giving birth, Hogan said, "I thought that was terrific - it was a great feeling to pull someone out and because of that, another life was brought into the world.
"It worked out good, luckily nobody died."
Dunn added, "All the elements were there that people could have perished."
Forty people suffered injuries from the blowtorch-like fire that cops say Chiu Tsang set at the base of the staircase of the four-story tenement at 510 61st St. about 5 a.m. on that Sunday.
Tsang is due to be arraigned today in Brooklyn Supreme Court on an indictment charging him with 40 counts of assault, as well as reckless endangerment, burglary and arson.
The fire went to three alarms and drew 35 FDNY units and 160 firefighters.
Hogan, 45, and Dunn, 34, pulled up to the building with Ladder 114. Most of the tenants were Chinese who didn't speak English.
"The fire was on the front stairs all the way to the roof," said Hogan, a 16-year veteran. "There were people on the fire escapes."
He went to the third floor, where he found a boy about 10 years old and a woman on a bed.
"The room was completely smoked out. They were petrified," Hogan said.
He grabbed them and put them on the fire escape.
Dunn, with seven years on the job, was on his first day as "chauffeur" - the specially trained driver of the rig - and manned the tower ladder with the rescue bucket. He stopped at the third floor, where the woman and boy were.
"They looked like they would jump," said Dunn. "They were very timid, and I had to repeat, 'Let's go!' And finally I stuck my arms out and pulled them in, and took them to the street."
Hogan went back into the apartment. In another bedroom, he found two babies on the floor, unconscious, and their mother, Chen, also unconscious and bleeding from the mouth.
Hogan handed the twins to a firefighter on the fire escape, and went back in and dragged Chen to the fire escape and handed her off.
Again, Hogan went back in and found an elderly man crawling around, lost and incoherent. The man collapsed as Hogan led him to the fire escape, so the firefighter lifted him out the window.
"Firefighter Kevin Anderson yelled that a guy was hanging out a window on the top floor and was going to jump," said Dunn. "I brought the bucket to the top floor and got him. He said, 'My wife! My wife!' so I put my mask on and went in the apartment and found a mother, an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy on the bed unconscious."
Dunn carried each victim to the bucket and took the family to the ground.
Meanwhile, a Mayday was called because a firefighter fell through stairs between the third and fourth floors. Anderson told Hogan there was a woman trapped on the top floor, and Hogan and Dunn went up in the bucket to get her.
Hogan was among several firefighters injured fighting the blaze.
"It was hair-raising, yet total teamwork," Dunn said. "Everyone made it, thank God."
On April 2, Chen, 27, gave birth to a premature, 4-pound, 9-ounce boy. She is still in the burn unit, in critical but stable condition. Her son is in the neonatal intensive care unit, but they have been able to interact.
"They are doing remarkably well," said a hospital spokesman, Christian Preston. The newborn is named Kevin. Preston could not say for sure if the infant was named after his rescuer.
"Is it just a coincidence?" asked Hogan with a laugh. "If not, I think it's pretty amazing. It's a nice compliment."

Troy McKee was the fast guy in the 100cc class on a Hodaka. Can't remember who did his engines, but he had a reed valve setup on it and it Hauled A$$. Tom Berry had a fast YL1 Yamaha that had the rotary valve on the right side, but also had a second carb. Again, can't remember who built it, but It was fast when it ran...
I vaguely remember Mckee, the fastest Hodakas with the TT crowd in So Cal were built (IMHO) by Daryl Bazzani. Keith Miller raced a Bazzani built Hodaka at Parris and
sporting a 32mm carb, which for a standard piston ported 100cc, was outrageous. Bazzani now makes car exhaust systems for Rice Burners aka NOPI racers.
If you raced against Don at Trojan, it was before I met him. When I met Don he was riding a Rickman Zundap, sponsored by the Rickman importer John Steen. I think he rode a Van Tech framed Suzuki prior to that, but Im not sure. I also seem to remember an American Eagle (Zundap motor in a knock-off Rickman frame) sponsorship in the mix too. His last real race bike he campaigned was a Frankenbike he put together after leaving Precision Cycle he called the Pendap, a 125cc Zundap motor in a Penton frame.
Many of the early 2 stroke race bikes were built by someone who made frames and they used a motor from an outside supplier. From England Villers made motors that DOT (Devoid Of Trouble), Cotton, and Greeves used. From
, Sachs motors were found not only in the Sachs brand but also Monark, Penton, and several other brands. Companies like Rickman used motors from Hodaka, Zundap, Triumph, BSA, and Montessa. There were also companies who took bikes like Hodakas and made upgrades/modifications like pipe, forks, and air cleaners and then sold them as a Steens Hodaka or Eddie Crowl Hodaka, similar to say a Roush or Saleen Mustang car today.

Hazel's Northeast adds patio seating and bacon doughnuts
Brian Garrity |
It's the same inside, but Hazel's Northeast had managed to get a little bigger this summer |
Best Neighborhood Cafe (Minneapolis) - 2012 Top 10 Breakfasts in the Twin Cities
Earlier this year we voted Hazel's Northeast in Audobon Park one of our top 10 favorite breakfasts, and now they're giving us one more reason to love them.
courtesy Hazel's Facebook page |
Butterscotch bacon doughnuts are as good as they sound |
Another welcome addition to Hazel's is its ever-changing selection of doughnuts. Though Sarah Jane's Bakery, considered by many to have the very best old-fashioned doughnuts in the Twin Cities, is right next door, Hazel's introduced its sweet and salty butterscotch bacon doughnuts right around New Year's and has decided to keep them in regular rotation, due to popular demand. They also make an intriguing-sounding chocolate chipotle and spiced-apple glazed doughnuts.
Hazel's co-owners (and brothers) Adam and Andrew Sieve made the announcement of the patio seating approval earlier in June, but the sidewalk cafe is officially open for business on July 2nd.

The Burmese Harp (ビルマの竪琴 Biruma no tategoto , a.k.a. Harp of Burma) is a 1956 black-and-white Japanese film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It was based on a children's novel of the same name written by Michio Takeyama. It was Ichikawa's first film to be shown outside Japan,[1] and is "one of the first films to portray the decimating effects of World War II from the point of view of the Japanese army."[2] The film was nominated for the 1957 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, during the first year that such a category existed.[3]
In 1985, Ichikawa remade the film in color with different actors.
Private Mizushima (Shoji Yasui), a Japanese soldier, becomes the harp (or saung) player of Captain Inōye's (Rentaro Mikuni) group, composed of soldiers who fight and sing to raise morale in World War II Burma Campaign. When they are offered shelter in a village, they eventually realize they are being watched by British soldiers. They successfully retrieve their ammunition, then see the advancing force. Instead of firing at them, though, the enemy soldiers begin singing. They learn that the Japanese surrender has occurred and they surrender.
At a camp, a British captain asks Mizushima to talk down a group of soldiers who are still fighting on the mountain. He agrees to do so and is told by the British that he has 30 minutes to tell them to surrender. At the mountain he is almost shot down before they realize he is Japanese. He climbs up and asks to speak to whoever is in command. He informs their commander that the war has ended and they should surrender. The commander says he shall talk to the other soldiers, and they come out minutes later stating that unanimously they decided to fight to the end. Mizushima begs for them to surrender but they do nothing. He decides to ask for more time from the British. When he creates a surrender flag, the others take it the wrong way and believe he's surrendering for them. They beat him unconscious and leave him on the floor. The cave is bombarded, and he becomes the only survivor. He steals a monk's robe so that he will not be spotted as a soldier, and wanders around looking for the camp his group was in. Finding many unburied corpses of dead Japanese soldiers, he decides to bury them.
Meanwhile, Captain Inōye and his men are wondering what happened, and cling to a belief that he is still out there. Eventually they buy a parrot (saying "Mizushima, let's go back to Japan together" over and over again) and tell a villager to take it to a monk they suspect is Mizushima in hiding. But the parrot is returned with a long letter replying that he refuses to go back to Japan with them, because he must continue burying the dead while studying as a monk, and promoting the peaceful nature of mankind. Years later however, he allows for the prospect of returning to Japan.
In 1993, film scholar Audie Bock wrote:[5]
Screenwriter Natto Wada (Ichikawa's former wife) lets minimal dialogue carry the emotion of The Burmese Harp. Ichikawa allows the grandeur of the Burmese landscape and the eerie power of its Buddhist statuary and architecture to sustain the mood of Mizushima's conversion and the mystification of his Japanese comrades. Yet the gravity of the film lifts with the lyrical score, the light humor of a local bartering woman (Tanie Kitabayashi) with her parrots, and the genuine but uncomprehending affection of the soldiers for their missing mate.
In 2007, film critic Tony Rayns called it the "first real landmark in his career" and wrote:[1]
Ichikawa's film is sharper and more clearheaded than Takeyama's book, perhaps because it reflects an encounter with the reality of Burma and the Burmese. Most details in the film are taken directly from the book, although the overall structure has been changed....It's with the dropping of one of the book's episodes entirely and substituting ideas of his own that Ichikawa provides the measure of the film's achievement. After Mizushima is sent on the futile mission to persuade a belligerent captain to surrender, he's wounded in the leg by a British bullet and left to die....In the book, Mizushima is found and nursed back to health by a non-Burmese tribe of cannibals, who plan to eat him; ... Ichikawa instead has Mizushima brought back from near death by a Buddhist monk, who intones over his patient the line "Burma is Burma. Burma is the Buddha's country." After his recovery, Mizushima shamelessly steals the monk's robe (his only thought is self-preservation, and he needs a disguise) and makes his way south, intending to rejoin his company, which is where Ichikawa's story line rejoins Takeyama's.

Oh MY Goodness..
These are SO good. Full of flavors, slightly spicy. Amazing.
The ONLY downside.. the serving is so small. Seriously, you have no idea how small that 1 1b of zucchini is going to get. And you are not going to want to share.. lol. Basically this recipes makes one nice sized serving for one person.. yep one. But I am marking it 1-2 servings.
Couple of notes.
1. These have a nice peppery taste. If you are a big fan of salt and pepper chips you could even add more. But be careful since they shrink down so much, a little goes a long way.
2. The olive oil is super yummy on them, but it's greasy. I did not actually try them with out the oil, but my guess is that they would be fine.
3. * You need to slice these VERY thin. The tried a second batch on my mandoline slicer on the thicker blade. I loved that it took less time to slice and took up less room in the dehydrator, meaning I could fit more in. But those suckers would not get crisp. They were in there about 10 hours and still were chewy. So that did not work.
4. You can do these in the oven instead of a dehydrator . Here are directions for that.
5. You can also check out my Crispy Cucumber Chips here.
My daughters LOVED them.. too bad I had to share..
- 1 lb (about 4 cups) thin sliced Zucchini*
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp olive oil (this can be omitted)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Note: I cut my zucchini on a mandoline slicer. I did both the thin and thick slices. The thin turned out much better and crispier.
- In a medium bowl whisk salt, pepper, olive oil (if used), and vinegar
- Add sliced zucchini
- Toss with the "dressing" to coat.
- Arrange slices on dehydrator trays
- Dehydrate at 135 degrees for 5-6 hours or until crispy

How to Look Cute in Front of Your Ex, Crush, or Boyfriend (Teen Girls Only)
Do you want to look cute for your crush so that maybe he'll make a move on you? Do you want to remind your boyfriend why he fell for you in the first place? Do you want to show your ex that you can do better than him? Here is the fool-proof guide to getting that guy attracted to you and wanting more.
Method 1 of 2: The Look
1Dress to impress. Dress in a way that is feminine and flattering. Men tend to gravitate towards hourglass figures. This means you should accentuate your waist by using a belt or fitted shirt to draw the eye to the waist. Wear flowing materials like lace overlays and feminine cuts like the sweat-heart neckline. Studies show that men also gravitate towards women who wear red.Ad
2Hair should be worn down or up in a simple way. That means no overly complicated twists or braids. Instead try a messy, casual up-do or long flowing curls.
- Maintain hair with a thick conditioner and a heat protector spray if you curl or straighten your hair often.
3Make up should always look natural. It should draw his focus to certain features.
- Lips: Full, plump lips are attractive to men. So try using a light to medium pink to carefully paint your pout.
- Eyes: Big, bright eyes are attractive to men. The goal is to line the eyes without drawing too much attention to the make up. So instead of overdoing the smokey eye, try using white shadow on the corners of the eye and just below the eyebrow, then put a thin layer of liquid liner on the top lash line and use a voluminous mascara.
4Smell nice. This is will a lasting impression. Literally. Spray enough perfume for him to smell if he leans in. Don't overdo it, if you do, use rubbing alcohol to remove some of your excess scent.
5Maintain the beauty "extras." This means put in an effort to always look your best.
Teeth: Get shiny, white teeth by using a whitening toothpaste. Every 5 months, try using bleaching strips to add a little extra whitening power to your mouth. Always use mouthwash after brushing your teeth to prevent any bad breath.
- It's a myth that you should chew gum in order to freshen your breath. This will actually cause your saliva glands to overact worsening your breath. Instead try a breath mint!
- Skin: Get bright, glowing skin by washing your face every night and by exfoliating once a week. This will cause your skin to look fresh and new. If you want to add a little color, add some bronzer to your routine instead of tanning which can cause damage.
- Body: Get smooth and soft legs by using a men's razor instead of a women's razor. Use a body scrub that prevents break outs or that has exfoliates in it.
Ad -
Teeth: Get shiny, white teeth by using a whitening toothpaste. Every 5 months, try using bleaching strips to add a little extra whitening power to your mouth. Always use mouthwash after brushing your teeth to prevent any bad breath.
Method 2 of 2: Attitude
1Be flirtatious. Always be approachable, look like you are having fun and be open to a conversation. If you want to appear 'cute,' don't try to play hard to get or ignore him. While this is supposed to work, men are more drawn towards women who seem to be having fun, who appear likeable and don't take things too seriously. So instead of pretending like you don't notice him, walk up and pay him a compliment. He will be impressed by your forwardness and will be drawn to continue talking to you.
2Be confident. While you want to be approachable, don't be desperate. Have fun and he will follow. Guys are attracted to women who seem to be having their own fun and who have their own lives. By showing him that you are happy on your own, he will want to join in.
3Smile genuinely. Your smile is your best attribute. Especially if you followed the tips from above, your smile can be a huge turn on. So smile like you mean it. Men are attracted to fun and happy women. Make that you!
4Make the right body language. Look directly at him when you are listening and speaking to him, it will make him think you are interested in what he is saying. Touching his arm with your hand is a nonsexual way to show interest in a guy. Also make sure to mirror his body language, it will subconsciously make you guys on the same wavelength.
5Stick to positive small talk topics. A huge turn off for men is listening to a girl who can't stop complaining. Stick to positive stories and lighthearted subjects and he will associate you with the great conversation he just had.Ad

- If you are wearing jeans, make sure your zipper isn't down!
- Don't be too shy around him. However, a little shyness may seem cute to him.
- Try to look cute and stand out, but don't put yourself too far out or you may get a bad reputation.
- Try to talk to him a little bit more. You could try to make conversations with his friends; that will really catch his attention, and he would actually know that you exist.
- Try to act nice and flirty.
- If you don't have any cute clothes like previously mentioned, and don't have much money to spend, then try an outlet mall or a discount clothes store, or just wear the best clothes you have. Also, you can find awesome clothes at thrift stores and pay little to nothing for them. Stay true to your own style.
- Try using shampoo made for your hair type and update your hair to the latest styles.
- Make sure to slowly and gently apply your nail polish. You don't want to move to quickly and mess up!
- Read some fashion magazines if you don't know what the latest style is.
- Make sure you don't be mean. Be nice and cute!
- Don't go up to him if he's with girl. Just wait until he's done.
- Remeber, you don't have to laugh if they say something that isn't funny. Even if it makes things awkward, do you really want to be in a relationship or look cute to someone who thinks they're funny, when in all honestly they aren't?
- Bite your lip slightly.
- Get up early for school, so you can do your hair and make sure you have your clothes ready for the next day.
- As a guy, make sure you give enough hints so he knows you are interested! Most guys can't pick up on subtleties too well, and both people go home disappointed.
- Have a positive attitude.
- Don't try to impress them, or change yourself to be what they like, if they are actually a good boyfriend, they won't care what you wear. They should love you for you, and nothing else.
- If he liked you before, it was because you were you. If you were just friends, he still liked something about you. Beware, if you change yourself by trying to win him back and then go back to your old self when you are together, he will see right through you.
- When you are going for the kiss, do have chewing gum or mints, but remember to take them out before you start snogging!
- Dress the way you think is the best; copying other people's actions or how they dress is not what boys actually like. They like girls that are unique.
- If you're trying to get noticed by a crush or you're out on the first date with your crush don't be easy. Its not cute and, in the end, you'll give people the wrong impression and end up hurt.
- Don't try too hard to get him to notice you. If he likes you, he's going to notice you. On top of that, other people will also see you and may form critical opinions of you.
- If you are trying to win back an ex with this advice, don't make it obvious.

Day 1 New York City
If you can, spend a few days in the pulsating throng of New York City before the adventure begins. There are many iconic sights that are must-sees in this city, which is often referred to as the 'capital of the world'. Enter a neon jungle at pulsating Times Square, marvel at the incredible exhibits showing at the MET, find a quiet corner in Central Park to people-watch or watch the sun set over Manhattan from atop the Empire State Building.
Hotel - 1
Days 2-3 Washington DC
Leave New York's big city lights and enter the stomping ground of the government in cosmopolitan Washington DC. See all the big names in America's capital city - the White House, Washington Monument and Capitol Hill - on a sparkling night tour of this bigger-than-life city. Spend a free day seeing the sights - perhaps spend time at one of the incredible Smithsonian museums, see where Martin Luther King called for racial equality on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, stroll through the greenery of the National Mall, wander the historic streets of Georgetown or hang out in a groovy bar in Downtown.
Camping (with facilities) - 2
Day 4 Finger Lakes
Reach Finger Lakes, a pattern of seven long lakes all facing north to south, with two of the lakes being among the deepest in America. The area is a beautiful and popular holiday spot where there are plenty of opportunities to go swimming or hiking. Finger Lakes is also New York's biggest wine-producing region so perhaps try a local tipple in the evening over dinner.
Camping (with facilities) - 1
Day 5 Niagara Falls
The destination of choice for couples popping the question or sealing the deal, Niagara Falls is a favourite for lovers and lovers of nature alike. Niagara Falls is actually a combination of three falls - Horseshoe, American and Bride Veil - and has the highest flow rate of all the waterfalls in the world. After marvelling at the pure force of the rushing water, don raincoats and view the falls close-up on the enchanting 'Maid of the Mist' boat ride through Horseshoe Basin.
Camping (with facilities) - 1
Days 6-7 New York City
Drive through beguiling New York State and return to buzzing New York city, renowned for its unique atmosphere, iconic cityscapes and never-sleep attitude. Hang around after this adventure ends and take a day trip to Coney Island, admire art at the Guggenheim or see a Broadway show. Check out the myriad of fascinating neighbourhoods like the Bronx, Harlem, Hell's Kitchen, Soho and Greenwich Village, and indulge in arguably some of the best food in the United States at any hour of the day.

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Game Editions
Big Bumpin' looks like a traditional carnival bumper car ride and features familiar Burger King icons, including the Subservient Chicken and Brooke Burke. But, there's a catch – Big Bumpin' arenas come with some big hazards, like surprise saws, bottomless pits and power up items that let gamers dole out thundering bumps. With several different types of game play, gamers have a chance to hone their bumper car skills in a variety of challenging scenarios. The game features theme parks, including the Ice Box, Broiler, King's Court, The Deep and Monsoon of Doom, and three modes of play for each – intense four-player and Xbox Live-supported.
