Date Reviewed: January 3, 2007
Strengths: Plush feeling, weight, price, adjustable travel
Weaknesses: Dives too much (linear travel) for my weight
Bottom Line:
The forks travel is very plush for a air based system, feels smooth and nice. Reasonably stiff for its low weight. Nice to be able to adjust travel between 100-130mm. The remote poploc is a "nice to have" feature but not really needed in my opinion, depends on what kind of trails you ride on I guess.
I agree with a previous reviewer that the travel feels very linear and dives too much on slower technical sections on the trail. Tried with different positive+negative air pressures but no improvement. Considering to swap to the coil version of the Revelation and hope it will handle better in this sense.
Can't say much about long term reliability but during these 3 months I haven't had any mechanical issues or problems.

Strengths: Well made, value for money, stiff, adjustable.
Weaknesses: Remote Poplock with dial, U turn jammed.
Bottom Line:
I have had two problems though:-
1) After a crash the remote poploc snapped off the handle bars into two pieces (awaiting a new one), but I will only get the lockout, didn't really notice the benifit of the dial thingy and all I really want is lockout for climbs.
2) After a 2 months the u turn dial got stuck, and I couldn't wind the fork out past 115mm. Nothing needed replacing just needed a quick service, I'm hoping this isn't going to be a long term reliabillity problem.
If it wasn't for the fact it needed a service so soon I'd give 5/5 chillis.

Date Reviewed: November 2, 2006
Strengths: Light! Extreamly adjustable, So many diffrent ways you can set this fork up to accomidate many diffrent conditions. U-turn is great albiet time consuming. Excellent build quality, have had no issues with service or warranty problems.
Weaknesses: Low speed damping is pretty much Bad. Mid to high speed its great. Unfortunatly for 90% of the riding I do in the Northeast US this fork simply does not work that well, mainly in low speed tecnical terrein; it has atendency to blow through the travel or dive abruptly in these situations, sending your weight to far forward.I guess it feels to linear. I do not find this fork to be as stiff as everyone is claiming.
Bottom Line:
(Revelatoin) just feels to linear for my taste.
Aside from this gripe, I think this fork is great. I was in CO for 2 months this summer riding fast single track and the fork was perfect over just about any type of terrrein I encountered. This fork is deserving of the great reviews it has recieved as it is a great value compared to Fox's offerings and it has excellent build quality. However for me Marzocchi makes the best handling fork out there.

Date Reviewed: October 19, 2006
Strengths: Adjustability, stiffness, plush travel, price, lockout, easy set-up, that solid "german car" feel etc etc etc
Weaknesses: I guess this is a generic rockshox dual air problem - the negative air valve is very close to the disc rotar. Let air out and you get a bit of oil squirted over your disc. As long as you're aware of it, this isn't really a problem though.
The infitesimally small travel gradations mean you have to spend approx 20s riding one handed turning the dial to go from 100mm to 130mm of travel and vice versa. This doesn't sound like much hassle, but it's enough to make me only adjust the travel if I know there's a really long climb coming up.
The solid german car feel doesn't extend as far as the poplock! It works fine though.
Bottom Line:
With the negative air set right you just glide over the tree roots & smaller rocks like you're floating on air, while the 130mm travel still allows it to take the big hits. Turn the travel down to 100mm and the front end of your bike is lowered making the riding position and travel perfect for x-country riding and long climbs.
Personally, I would rather sacrifice the fine travel adjustability and just have a 3 position switch to go instantly from 100-115-130 mm travel. The current internals would require this switch to have very high gearing though, so this maybe not be practical.

NAPA VALLEY, Calif., April 30 /PRNewswire/ — Sequoia Grove Winery is proud to announce a partnership with the Sequoia Parks Foundation (SPF) through the development of the Sequoia Grove Winery Save a Tree Campaign, continuing the winery's longtime commitment to preserving both its natural environment and the future of giant sequoias. The program begins today on National Arbor Day, Friday, April 30th, with an event at the winery and will continue through the end of the year. The Sequoia Grove Winery Save a Tree Campaign will help raise consumer awareness of the need to protect the world's largest trees. Sequoia Grove's dedication to the environment and sustainable practices is part of the winery's heritage, as it is named after one of the last remaining groves of Redwoods in Napa Valley. An official announcement of the partnership will take place at Sequoia Grove Winery today with executives from Sequoia Parks Foundation and Winemaker Molly Hill making a symbolic toast to signal the beginning of an important initiative.
The SPF protects giant sequoias and their limited habitat by funding important education, restoration, and research projects in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The Winery's support of the SPF helps to ensure the well-being of the mighty giant sequoias for future generations. In addition to an initial donation of $7,500, Sequoia Grove Winery will donate a percentage of sales through the "Try a Bottle, Save a Tree" on-premise wine promotion at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill (17 locations nationwide) and through "Buy a Case, Save a Tree" starting today and ending Sunday. These contributions will go towards SPF's preservation initiatives, while building consumer involvement and awareness.
"This partnership signals the beginning of an ongoing relationship with the Sequoia Parks Foundation to ensure that giant sequoias will be around and enjoyed for years to come," said Michael Trujillo, President and Director of Winemaking.
"In a changing world, the giant sequoias and the parks they call home represent one of the greatest gifts that we can preserve for future generations," said Sally Bolger, Sequoia Parks Foundation Executive Director. "Our partnership with Sequoia Grove Winery will help us continue our mission."

Las Vegas HVAC Contractor, Silverstate Heating and Air, Explains Why the Refrigerant Freon (R-22) Has Gotten So Expensive
Silverstate Heating and Air is one ot the top rated HVAC contractors serving the residential and commercial market in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City, NV. Clients have expressed justifiable concerns over rising Freon refrigerant costs, so they want all area residents to understand what has transpired to cause this increase.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) June 25, 2013
If a homeowner or commercial property manager in the Las Vegas area has recently had the air conditioning system serviced or called for an estimate for a repair, they may have been surprised by the sudden increase in the price of the refrigerant that is used to recharge the HVAC system. R-22 refrigerant, more commonly known as Freon, is being phased out as part of the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act.
The government considers the use of Freon is bad for the environment because it is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). When leaked into the air, the chlorine from the gas is released into the atmosphere and causes damage to the already fragile ozone layer. The ozone layer offers a line of defense from the sun's harmful rays, and once gone, it cannot be replaced.
One condition of the Clean Air Act is as of 2010, air conditioning manufacturers were required to stop producing equipment that used Freon. A more environmentally friendly replacement, R-410a, known as Puron is now used in new air conditioners. Puron does not contain chlorine and is much safer to the environment than Freon.
Residential and commercial property owners in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City are not required to stop using their current air conditioning systems. Freon will still available for existing air conditioning systems, but as the phase out continues, the supply will be limited.
This is because new Freon will no longer be manufactured, and the manufacturing of it has been severely reduced over the past several years. Instead, the only sources of this refrigerant will come Freon that is recaptured and recycled from existing systems as they are removed from service.
Under normal conditions, clients generally do not need to purchase Freon unless a service technician determines there is a loss of it in the air conditioner or heat pump system during a repair or preventive maintenance call.
The only way Freon can escape from the closed system is if there is a leak present. However, homeowners need to be aware that the price of Freon will continue to steadily increase as the supply decreases.
As the phase out of Freon continues, property owners can discuss options with Silverstate HVAC http://www.airconditioningrepairlasvegas.com/ or other A+ rated air conditioning repair contractor. Several options exist, including choosing to replace older air conditioning systems and avoiding future rising prices and shortages altogether. Today's newer systems are much more energy efficient and may save money on heating and cooling costs in the long run by upgrading now.

(We all remember the scene with the new rocks on the beach) Not only was this displayed 4 months ago-but when interviewed, they said it took 3 weeks to do. So what's with the delay? I remember hearing the scene with the rocks and new effects was running at 25fps...maybe there's some truth to that....cause I dont see why else it would be held back. =/ I'd really like to see some of these effects displayed, to see the true potential of the nv40. C'mon crytek...move your sweet butt on this patch. =)

Jody Burfening
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. This is Jody Burfening of Lippert/Heilshorn & Associates. Thank you for joining us for the Ultralife Corporation earnings conference call for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The earnings press release was issued earlier this morning and if anyone has not yet received a copy, I invite you to visit the Ultralife website at www.ultralifebatteries.com, where you will find the release under Investor News in the Investor Relations section.
In a minute, I'll turn the call over to John Kavazanjian, Ultralife's President and CEO, who along with Bob Fishback, Ultralife's Chief Financial Officer, will provide their formal remarks. Management will then take questions until 11 o' clock Eastern Time.
Before turning the call over to John, I'd like to remind everyone that some statements made during this conference call contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations. Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of various risks and uncertainties. These include worsening global economic conditions, increased competitive environment and pricing pressures, and disruptions related to restructuring actions and delays.
The company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect the company's analysis only as of today's date. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. A more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties is contained in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission such as the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.
In addition, on today's call, management will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures that management considers to be useful metrics that differ from GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as supplemental to corresponding GAAP figures.
With that, I would now like to turn the call over to John. Good morning, John.
John Kavazanjian
Thank you, Jody. Good morning and welcome to the Ultralife Corporation conference call for the third quarter of 2008. Joining me today are Bob Fishback, our Chief Financial Officer; Julius Cirin, our Vice President of Corporate Marketing and Technology; and Bill Schmitz, our Chief Operating Officer.
Today we reported revenue of $68 million for the third quarter of 2008. These results put us on track to achieve our guidance of $130 million in revenue for the second half of 2008. Operating profit was $5.3 million with an adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, for which the reconciliation with GAAP financials is on our website and in our 10-K report.
The third quarter revenue includes $41 million in sales in our communication systems business. This represents the substantial completion of more than $120 million in orders that we received in the second half of 2007 for advanced communication systems, along with sales in other parts of the communications business. Gross margin in the segment was 28%, an increase over the second quarter margin of 27%. We expect similar margins in this segment for the remainder of the year and improvements next year as we enhance our sourcing agreements and start to reflect in our pricing the materials and logistics cost increases that have occurred since the beginning of the year.
Rechargeable product revenue was $8 million and gross margin grew slightly from the second quarter to 22%. The worldwide shortage in rechargeable cells has caused significant price increases from suppliers, an exerted pressure on margins before we were able to take pricing actions. We expect this segment to grow in revenue for the fourth quarter and next year and margins to grow toward a target range of 25% to 30% over that timeframe.
Non-rechargeable products revenue was down from the second quarter to $16 million and gross margin was down due to cost connected with the refocusing of activities in our UK operation and a product line transition in our China operation. In the UK, we are in the process of our changeover to an assembly distribution and service operation. Expect to see financial improvement from this in the first half of 2009.
In China, we're enhancing our product line and our production operations. While we will incur additional cost for this in the fourth quarter, this is factored into our guidance for the year. We will be introducing new versions of our ABLE thionyl chloride products – lithium-thionyl chloride products in the first half of 2009 with improved performance. Capital improvements in key areas of our process will also result in products that will be more robust with higher performance. These changes will enable significant increases in volume and profit in 2009.
Design and installation services accounted for $3.6 million in revenue. Gross margins ran at 19% as we made further investments to grow this business. Our defense and government business remained strong both domestically and internationally. During the quarter, we sold over $3 million in chargers, solar panels, and rechargeable batteries to the government of Mexico and over $1 million in smart rechargeable batteries to the UK MoD. Both of these are for second half of 2008 delivery. We sold over $2 million in communications power accessories to a major US prime defense contractor for delivery next year. And with CERDEC, the R&D arm of the Army Communications Command, we entered a $2.1 million contract to further develop in conjunction with Mississippi State University, an advanced soldier hybrid portable power system.

Gov't considers changes to mortgage program
WASHINGTON The government may let more borrowers qualify for a $300 billion program designed to let troubled homeowners swap risky loans for more affordable ones, a top Bush administration official said Wednesday.
The program, included in a housing bill passed by lawmakers over the summer, was launched Oct. 1. But there are concerns that lenders won't participate because they have to voluntarily reduce the value of a loan and take a loss.
"We're concerned that the program _ as constructed today _ is limiting people's availability," Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Steve Preston said in an interview with Associated Press writers and editors.
In the "Hope for Homeowners" plan's current design, lenders have to take a big loss. They must absorb the difference between the current mortgage's value and the new loan for 90 percent of the house's current appraised value. One potential change is to make the new loan around 97 percent of the current home value, thus requiring lenders to take a smaller loss, Preston said.
Making that change and others "would open up participation in the program," he said.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Wednesday that Bush administration officials "continue to discuss" a sweeping proposal by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Sheila Bair to provide government guarantees that would help 3 million American households avoid foreclosure.
While he called the proposal "an important idea," Paulson said it went beyond the intent for funding under the $700 billion financial rescue plan passed by Congress on Oct. 3 and would not be included in the program.
The Hope for Homeowners program was designed by Democratic lawmakers who were trying to respond to the mortgage crisis. The Congressional Budget Office had projected over the summer that the program would let 400,000 troubled homeowners swap risky loans for conventional 30-year fixed rate loans with lower rates.
But the early results are discouraging: the government received only 42 applications in the program's first two weeks, according to the Federal Housing Administration. And only 20,000 applications are expected by next fall, according to early projections.
To participate, homeowners can try to persuade their existing lender to join the program, but the decision is ultimately up to the lender. The banking industry appears likely to favor options that don't require an immediate reduction in principal, such as deferring payments, allowing partial payments and lowering the interest rate.
In addition, the program may be unattractive to some borrowers because those who sell their properties must agree to share some of their profits with the government.
Meanwhile, HUD also is revising the often-confusing disclosure forms that home buyers receive when they refinance a loan or buy a new house. HUD announced Wednesday that it completed an overhaul of the so-called "good faith estimate" of mortgage costs, including lenders' payments to mortgage brokers.
"It's a big step forward in restoring trust and transparency between the industry and homeowners," Preston said.
The government, which originally proposed revising these forms more than six years ago and released its latest proposal in March, says the new forms _ to be required starting in 2010 _ should save consumers around $700 in closing costs.

One Year Later, Little Progress
From staff and wire reports
A year after the worst U.S. bridge collapse in a generation brought calls for immediate repairs to other spans, two of every three of the busiest problem bridges in each state – carrying nearly 40 million vehicles a day – have had no work beyond regular maintenance.
An Associated Press review of repairs on each state's 20 most- traveled bridges with structural deficiencies found just 12 percent have been fixed. In most states, the most common approach was to plan for repairs later rather than fix problems now.
The bridges reviewed by the AP – 1,020 in all – are not in imminent danger of collapse, state engineers and highway officials say. But the officials acknowledge the structures need improvement, many sooner rather than later.
The collapse of the eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge into the Mississippi River on Aug. 1, 2007, killed 13 people and brought immediate calls for repairs to bridges across the nation.
The failure to follow through was not because of lack of effort, officials said. Soaring construction costs, budget shortages, election-year politics, a backlog of bridge projects, competing highway repairs and bureaucracy often held bridge work to incremental progress.
The AP gathered information on repair status from 48 states and Washington, D.C. In six states, data could not be obtained for some locally owned bridges. Louisiana and Nevada failed to respond.
The worst were Indiana, Oklahoma, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where work was conducted on only one of each state's 20 most heavily traveled structurally deficient bridges.
"At some point, relying on miracles is not going to be the best way to manage our system," said Pete Rahn, the transportation commissioner of Missouri. "I would pray we don't have to have another disaster to bring about the right attention to this. I see very little political will there."
A study released earlier this month by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission showed that more than one-fourth of the region's bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, some of the worst concentrated in Chesapeake and Southampton County. Of 1,237 bridges, 338 are either in need of repairs or don't meet modern standards.
The ratings do not necessarily mean the bridges are unsafe, transportation experts stressed. The study also says Hampton Roads fares better than the state and the nation in terms of percentage of deficient bridges.
This story was compiled from reports by The Associated Press and staff writer Debbie Messina.
An Associated Press review of repairs on each state's 20 most- traveled bridges with structural deficiencies found:
* Sixty-four percent of the bridges received no work beyond regular maintenance, though most were targeted for some kind of future work.
* Twelve percent had their structural defects fixed – usually through a major rehabilitation or outright replacement.
* An additional 24 percent have seen a partial improvement, either through a short-term repair to temporarily address the defect or an ongoing project that is not yet complete.

November 15, 2013
It's no secret that the veterinary profession can be rough on individuals. There's the stress of getting into veterinary school, performing well, and standing out among peers, followed by years or decades of long hours, demanding clients, and heavy workloads.
"I often hear from the older half of our membership that when they went through veterinary school, they didn't have such problems. But then, I was thinking of the list of things new veterinarians have to deal with: Their student debt is astronomical compared to when we went to school decades ago, there's excess capacity in the supply of veterinary medical services, liability claims are more prevalent, the standard of care has gone way up, and there's so much more competition for general practitioners from specialty practices, low-income spay/neuter clinics, and nonveterinary providers. Plus, there's the Internet and social media bullying. You can lose your reputation in a matter of minutes," she said. "The pressures are different, totally different."
Kathleen Ruby, PhD, director of counseling and wellness at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, recently met with fellow counselors and mental health professionals who work with veterinary students and reflected on what is different now from 25 years ago.
"I think we're helping them understand that business and professional skills are part of success, but now they have to learn those topics on top of everything they had to do before. Plus, they're looking to distinguish themselves somehow from everyone else, and, because they're all high-performing, it's tough to do."
Dr. Jerome B. Williams, director of the Alabama veterinary wellness program and a speaker at the International Veterinary Officers Coalition wellness summit, told JAVMA News that some of the better facilities will be cost-prohibitive for veterinarians, charging up to $50,000 for treatment. By the time most veterinarians get to the point where they need treatment, they have exhausted all resources, he said.
That goes hand in hand with another setback for troubled veterinarians.
Dr. King told JAVMA News, "Our concern was what we thought was potentially an increase in these kinds of issues around health and wellness (on our campuses). It's not a crisis, but it's concerning to us," he said. "We need to know more about it and delve into it more deeply."
"I'd like to highlight the fact that the AVMA, as part of IVOC, participated in promoting this topic on an international scale," she said. "All of us in our careers have similar stresses, no matter where we work. We're starting to recognize this as a health concern for our own profession."
"We'd like to have data available of the long-term outcome for people, like if they return to work and whether they remain abstinent. If we could generate some accurate data on that rather than speculation, we could get information to patients with addiction problems, and, hopefully, that would encourage them to see positive outcomes," he said, adding that the most frequently seen cases involved depression or anxiety followed by addiction.

Hosting my own videos a-la YouTube
Mar 20, 2013
I own my own domain with which I'd like to host some of the videos I've made. I've tried putting some video files of various formats and emailing people links to them, but somebody always complains that they can't view the file. YouTube doesn't seem to have this issue that I know of. I also like YouTube's ability to choose resolution and whether you view it full screen or not. Is it possible for me to roll my own? I'd use YouTube (and I have) except that I'm sometimes very unhappy with their re-compression of my work.

I just wanted to say thank you thank you Dr Dube for always putting me at ease..im one of those high fear patients and he was wonderful..also the staff is extremely nice and understanding when it comes to whatever concerns you have and they catered to me :) Thanks for the wonderful experience and i will definitely be back!!
best dentist in town
I came into Dr. Dube' office today, for a cleaning and they were so accommodating and pleasant. They even took me back early! I have my follow up appointment set up! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
I'm very appreciative!
I found myself in acute pain and searching for a dentist. I am very grateful to all of the staff and Dr. Dube for working through lunch to fit me in. Emily put me at ease immediately. The assessment, taking care of the current issue and then coming up with a plan of care for the future was very much appreciated. Thanks so much to all of you for your patience and kindness:)
The staff & Doctor here at Dube Dental are amazing.
From the moment you enter their office to when it's time to leave they are friendly, charismatic, accommodating and most of all thorough.
Lori at the front desk always has a great attitude and smile. The assistants are all great people with a "let's help you the best way we can" attitude to Dr Dube, no nonsense approach to dentistry.
My smile has never been brighter!
Best Dentist Around!!!
I have been going to Dr. Dube for 10 years and can say I wouldn't go anywhere else. The work is of the highest quality and I have never been disappointed.
One of the things I value most is the staff...who always go to great lengths to accomodate an ever changing work schedule for me. That is one of the things I value most having a travel based career.
Lori, the effective COO of all things administrative is awesome, as are the rest of the folks who work for Dr. Dube.
If you are looking for an outstanding dentist and an awesome staff I would encourage you to go visit them.
I would highly recommend
Everyone at Dr. Dube's office is so pleasant and friendly. They are all very professional, My hygeniest (melissa i believe was her name) was great today with my cleaning. She was VERY thorough, and gentle! I would recommend Dr. Dube to anyone looking for a new dentist!
Dr. Dube Dube Do!
I believe that I am one of the original patients as I have been going to Dr. Dube since he opened his doors. Also, I am of "that generation" of women upon whom the fear of dentists was inflicted in my childhood years. Dr. Dube and staff understand and empathize with whatever fears you may have going in, but FEAR NOT in this office! They are quite fabulous as they are patient, they listen, and they truly do everything possible to make it a pleasurable experience for you. I can honestly say that I love Dr. Dube and his staff and have referred several friends over the past few months. All of them are as pleased as I am with the care that they have received. If I ever move out of Wilmington, I guess I'll have to drive back every few months for my check-ups because I can't imagine ever having another dentist's hands in my mouth. Great care, great staff, and just an all-round great guy. Go see him. You won't regret it.
Dr. Dube is the best!!!
I had a terrible experience 2 years ago with a Dentist in Charleston who did a root canal on the wrong tooth. It resulted in me losing the tooth that did need a root canal and a crown that hurt me 24/7. I had given up on Dentists and my Hair Dresser, Katy Jackson, told me about Dr. Dube. I got a new crown and for the first time in 2 years, my mouth is pain free! He is also going to do a bridge to give me a tooth where I lost mine. He and his staff are A+++++ in my opinion!!! I finally found a GREAT Dentist!!
Great dental experience
No one can possibly like to go to the dentist (!), but I had to have some fairly substantial work done, and Dr Dube and staff did a great job. He removed a cracked tooth, I did not feel a moment of pain once the anesthesia wore off. I was amazed.....We are new in town and were grateful for the recommendation that sent us his way.
No Other Chair For Me!
I made the mistake of using another dentist a few times because that office was closer to my work. I've never been so happy to be back in a dentist's office as I was to get back in Dr. Dube's chair. I regret the indiscretion of leaving Dube and will never do it again! Dr. Dube and his whole staff are beyond competent and caring and their level of service delivery simply cannot be equaled. Dube can fix teeth everyone else says are beyond repair - he's a magician but he's also a good human that actually cares about people.
