Why Is The FCC Even Giving The Time Of Day To RIAA's Bogus Radio Witchhunt?
from the waste-of-resources dept
So, apparently if a radio station does play these artists, it's piracy. If it doesn't play these artists, it requires an FCC investigation.
Beyond that, MusicFirst failed to note that many of the artists topping the charts (including the Black Eyed Peas, who topped the charts at the time) were some of the most outspoken artists in favor of this tax. If there was some big conspiracy to not play these artists on the radio, someone forgot to tell... well... pretty much every radio station around.
That highlighted the third problem: MusicFirst didn't happen to point to any radio station that actually did this. The only one that could be dug up was a small high school radio station that had publicly boycotted artists supporting such a tax (which would have shut down the radio station), but only did so for one month and that month happened two years ago, and was a clearly supported expression of free speech.
And that brings up the final point. The recording industry has no right to demand that radio stations play certain artists. A radio station is free to play whatever artists they wish and run whatever commercial they wish. This is a pure free speech issue, and it's quite troubling that the recording industry is targeting radio stations when they have no right over this.
Based on all of this, you would hope that the FCC would simply laugh off the petition... but tragically, it's opened up a consultation on the matter and is asking for public input (found via Michael Scott). The article linked here goes through all of the First Amendment questions raised by this, and notes (thankfully) that the FCC seems to recognize those issues as well. But, if that's the case, why even bother holding this investigation in the first place?

Recording Industry: Radio Is Piracy, But Not Playing Our Music Is A Federal Offense
from the logic-much? dept
So, wait, which is it? If it's a kind of piracy to play songs on the radio, shouldn't musicFIRST and the RIAA be thrilled that radio stations aren't playing their music? Or do they recognize the free promotional benefits radio provides for artists? They can't have it both ways, can they? First they're upset that the music is being "pirated" and now they're upset that it's not being "pirated"? Please explain!
Now, as for those nasty nasty radio stations "boycotting" certain artists, well who are they? Turns out one of the main culprits is a tiny 100-watt high school radio station who has explained, in great detail the reasons behind their political stance. They are making a political choice by purposely boycotting musicians who support the view that playing their songs on the radio is "a kind of piracy." You would think that would make musicFIRST, the RIAA and those musicians happy. But, more to the point, that music "boycott" was a temporary thing, and lasted for one month, from mid-June 2007 until mid-July of that same year. Yes. It lasted for one month, to make a political statement, and it happened two years ago. And suddenly the RIAA/musicFIRST wants an FCC investigation? Of a bunch of high schoolers making a political statement against a tax that would harm their educational radio station by not "pirating" materials that the lobbyists claim are pirated?

How The Recording Industry Changes Its Own Story
from the anything-for-the-money dept
So, the RIAA claims, this is unfair... after all, why should they get paid for all of those, but not radio?
Except, the RIAA conveniently wants us all to forget history. That's because it was the RIAA who argued that satellite radio, internet radio and other forms of broadcasting were different from terrestrial radio, and therefore required different royalty structures. In other words, the only reason why this "unfair" dichotomy exists in the first place is because the RIAA lobbied for it by claiming that satellite radio and internet radio were different.
Now it wants everyone to forget that and pretend that it's some weird "anomaly" that terrestrial radio doesn't include performance royalties? Don't buy it. This is the sort of thing the industry has pulled off for years -- pushing one country to extend copyright laws, and then moving to other countries and working up a lobbyist campaign about how that country isn't keeping up with other, more reasonable countries, concerning copyright laws. Have you noticed what's happening in Canada these days? That's a direct example of this sort of thing.
Walker also takes on other points to show how silly and dangerous the Performance Rights Act would be. It benefits no one but the record labels. It harms radio stations. It harms independent musicians. It harms big musicians as well (since most of the money doesn't go to them, but to the record labels). Who does it help? The RIAA, of course:
And for what? Imagine, as a thought experiment, that this bill were passed and, simultaneously, payola were made fully legal. Does anyone doubt that more money would flow toward the radio stations than away? Radio remains the primary means by which the music industry promotes its product. By pushing for this fee, the labels are essentially asking their advertisers to pay them for the service of selling their stuff.As we've seen time and time again, if the RIAA supports it, it's not good for consumers. It's not good for musicians. It's not good for anyone but a small selection of record labels. Hopefully, Congress recognizes this for the pure money grab it is and shuts it down.
Ah, you say, but what about the independent artists who don't get big promotional pushes from the major music labels? Surely they'd benefit from a new revenue stream? Actually, they'll be even worse off. The economic mission of most commercial radio stations is to deliver audiences to the sponsors whose spots are aired between tunes. So programmers have a built-in preference for music whose mass appeal has already been proven. If you increase the cost of playing a record, that just intensifies the incentive: The more you pay to play a song, the more conservative you'll be about which songs you play. The marginal cost of playing each track is the same, but the commercial payoff is greater for established artists.
Generally speaking, the more it costs to run a station, the more risk-averse it will be. That's one reason low-power and Web outlets are more experimental: They don't have as much money on the line. But those stations--the ones that go out of their way to play diverse and unfamiliar material--are precisely the ones that have the hardest time paying the song tax. The proposed law acknowledges the problem by introducing a sliding scale, with the least profitable outfits paying $500 a year. But while that may be chump change for a big broadcaster, it's a pretty big piece of the operating budget for a low-power, volunteer-run community or student station.
Nor is it the only cost the law will impose. "The record labels are completely out of touch as to how college radio stations operate," Warren Kozireski, president of College Broadcasters Inc., recently complained on his organization's website. "The extensive record keeping requirements that will be required by the Copyright Royalty Board alone will add hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to the true cost of a performance fee." It's relatively easy to do that book-keeping if you have a narrow playlist and rarely deviate from it, as is the case with most large commercial radio stations. But if you have a library of thousands of albums and 45s, many of which were never reissued on CD, and if you allow your DJs to choose which ones they play--or even to bring in still more music from their personal collections of rare soul or jazz or bluegrass or electronica obscurities--then tracking the data suddenly becomes a full-time job.
Worse yet: Though the rhetoric around the proposal focuses on the benefits to musicians, much of the money won't make it to the artists in the first place. In part that reflects the fact that the fees go not just to the performers but to the copyright owner, which frequently means the record company. But it also reflects the corruption in the industry, which legislation like this has probably abetted.

Bailing Out The RIAA?
from the there-we-go... dept
And, of course, the most damning argument against the recording industry's demand for money here is the fact that, for decades, the industry has (illegally) had the money go in the other direction. The system of payola has shown, quite clearly, how much the recording industry values airtime, in that it's willing to pay radio stations to play its music.
So, can anyone explain why it's illegal for record labels to pay radio stations to play music, but it's okay for Congress to force radio stations to pay the record labels for playing their music? It defies common sense.
Yet, with a nice push from the Copyright Office, the bill is moving forward, and will face a full House vote. During the Committee debate over the bill, Rep. Daniel Lungren made a perfectly reasonable suggestion: why not wait until the GAO had a chance to do an economic analysis of how the bill would impact radio stations. Considering that the bill is effectively a tax on those radio stations, this seems like a perfectly reasonable idea... but it resulted in Rep. Howard Berman (who represents Hollywood, always) accusing Lungren of trying to kill the bill. Isn't it great when simply waiting to find out what kind of impact the bill might have gets you accused of trying to kill it. Apparently in Congress, it's all about shooting first and asking questions later.
That said, Peter Kafka, over at AllThingsD, has made the best point: most people don't care about this bill because they don't realize that it's really a bill to bail out the RIAA by creating a radio station tax that goes straight into the recording industry's bank accounts. So, rather than call it the Performance Rights Act, it should more accurately be called the Britney Bailout Bill.

Lack Of Indie Music On The Radio Perhaps A Matter Of Economics More Than Payola
from the thinking-this-through dept
I'm sure that's true, but I'm not at all sure it has anything to do with payola. I'd bet it has a lot more to do with two things: basic economics and the rise of alternatives such as the internet and satellite radio. Based on these things, and the limited number of radio stations out there in a given region, it only makes sense that those stations would gravitate towards music and formats that bring in the largest, most mainstream audience. That's just basic economics. Playing just indie music attracts a smaller audience, and it's tough enough to survive as is.
That said, it's not clear this is really a problem. Those of us who tend to like indie music more had already moved away from terrestrial radio long ago -- and thanks to the internet, podcasts, MP3 players and other alternatives, have no problem hearing the music we like. Yes, there are still a lot of people who listen to terrestrial radio, and those stations do still have some influence on what's popular, but it's hardly the cultural juggernaut it was not so long ago.

PRS Threatens Woman For Playing Radio To Her Horses Without Paying A Licensing Fee
from the this-is-called-extortion dept
The latest (sent in by a few folks) is that PRS has now threatened a woman who plays classical music to her horses in her stable to keep them calm. She had been turning on the local classical music station, saying that it helped keep the horse calm -- but PRS is demanding £99 if she wants to keep providing such a "public performance." And it's not just a one-off. Apparently a bunch of stables have been receiving such calls.
Obviously, this is not a case of random excessive attempts by PRS to squeeze more money out of people. It's become systematic. The group seems to believe that playing music in almost any situation now constitutes a public performance and requires a licensing fee. You just know they're salivating over the opportunity to go after people playing music in their cars with the windows down.

Recording Industry Lobbying Group Pushes Congress To Tax Radio Stations More
from the and-even-screws-that-up dept
However, these days, with the recording industry unable to adapt to the changing marketplace, they've taken to demanding that others (individuals, ISPs, video games, Apple, webcasters, etc...) simply give them money instead. Their latest target, of course, is radio stations. It started with that silly claim that radio is a form of piracy -- then advanced to a bill, being introduced by a Congressional Rep, John Conyers (whose last campaign was heavily funded by those connected to the labels and this lobbying group), to force radio stations to pay the record labels as well.
MusicFIRST's latest effort was to drag its dog and pony show to Congress, where it paraded a bunch of musicians in front of Congresscritters to whine about how unfair it was that radio stations helped promote their music without paying them. Of course, it looks like MusicFIRST should have talked to the musicians a bit more carefully first. One of the musicians they trotted out, Matt Maher, less than 24 hours before going before Congress, noted on his Twitter account how such royalties could hurt radio stations and worried that it would cause some stations to shut down. Apparently, someone went a bit off the reservation and made exactly the opposite point that MusicFIRST wanted him to make....

Other wise the bike is great.
I've been running the Heideneau K60s front and rear on my 03 Dakar for awhile now and really like them. I got over 6K miles from the rear and the front still looked almost new when I changed the rear for another. Now the newer K60 rear has around 3K on it and the front looks like it'll probably be good until that rear is worn out. So... about 2 rears and one front for 12K miles! When restoring my bike after a 2010 accident last year I had two Woody's Excel rims superlaced on the front and rear hubs and went from the stock 17" rear to an 18" rear, so this could affect wear somewhat compared to stock (tire has larger circumference). I'm running a 140/80-18 rear and a 90/90-21 front.
New K60 on my bike (currently at 82K miles and has seen lots of different tires - these, T63s, TKC80s, Mefos, IRC GP1s and GP110s, D606s and a couple of others). Of everything I've tried these are my favorite...
Overall shot of bike:
The Heideneau tires don't look as aggressive as the T63s (which I've run as well) but seem to grip about as well off road to me and the K60s are markedly better on pavement, wet or dry, IMO. The T63 rears I've had on my Dakar lasted about 2,500 miles and the front about twice that, but really cupped up badly in the last 1K miles or so. For me the K60s are a much better value since they go over twice as far with better overall performance. They also cost more - $150 for the rear vs. about $70 for the T63. $85 for the front vs. $70 for the Michelin.

I have two diecast models of this bus. One a Foothill Transit and the other a Los Angeles MTA Silver route one. It is a nice looking fururistic looking bus. My friends and I saw one at a Cummings Yard being serviced. The mechanics had a coronary when we took pictures of it. You would think it was some sort of "Top Secret" unveiled to the public sort of thing! For what it's worth we got our pictures! We even waited long enough for it to leave the yard and pass us down the street! Much to the chagrin of the mechanics!

My girlfriend and I recently went to Los Angeles and saw these New Flyer articulated buses. Very futuristic looking and sleek indeed.
In addition to the red and silver scheme, we saw green, blue and I believe orange with silver so I would imagine different lines have different colors.
Does anyone know if these New Flyers are run on any system in the East coast?
flyerboy | Jun 24, 2010 | 6:45 pm
Those MTA articulated buses are NABI's 60BRT model, they are not New Flyers. New Flyer only has the BRT DE60LFA's in Eugene, OR and in Cleveland, OH.

Hello all,
I came across this site while looking for classic bus information.
I saw the comments regarding the new articulated buses (with wheel covers). We have them here in San Diego operated by MTD.
But if you want to take a look at an articulated that looks like it came out of a Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon movie
search for the Wright "StreetCar" RTV.
I saw one about a year ago at a transportation convention. It is big, sleek and sexy. All wheels are covered.
It is 62 feet in length, it can carry
104 passengers with 44 seated, it weighs
thirty tons (British Weight), it has the largest windshild I've ever seen and
the driver is stashed away in a seperate
closed compartment with controls looking like they came out of a 747.
The one I saw had been ordered by the transit system over in Las Vegas.
For further details: www.the-wright-group.com I think at least you'll be facinated. I hope I get to see your reactions at this site.
Best to all,
PS: I believe the StreetCar RTV is produced in Ireland.

As the photographer of the pictures, I didn't originally notice the 7 in the second picture. Best guess is that it is an electronic version of a "run box" and that this driver was handling run # 7 on the 761 route.

FIVE YEARS AGO Dallas County commissioner John Wiley Price got just about the worst news imaginable for a man who makes his living as a black activist: He was slowly but surely turning white.
Price had gone to his doctor after noticing that discolored blotches were spreading under his arms, in his groin, and around his ankles and wrists. He assumed they were a result of a temporary skin infection or perhaps a reaction to the sun, but they turned out to be something more serious: He had the symptoms of vitiligo, a common condition in which portions of the skin are progressively robbed of their pigment cells, leaving unsightly porcelain-white blotches all over the body. The condition is treatable but not curable, his doctor told him, and it might be fully progressive, meaning that at some point the man who recently called a Hispanic foe a "coconut" (brown on the outside, white on the inside) could be as fair skinned as any Hispanic—or any white, for that matter. "I thought I'd done everything right," the 45-year-old says today with a slightly nervous laugh. "I thought, 'God, please don't do this to me.'"
The disease that afflicts Price and an estimated 1 to 2 percent of the world's population has been around for centuries—long enough, at least, for the Hindus to have branded it a form of the dreaded leprosy and to regard its sufferers as social outcasts (it's difficult for Hindu women with vitiligo to get married). Only recently has it permeated the public consciousness, however, thanks to pop star Michael Jackson. It had long been believed that Jackson's milky skin tone was a cosmetic affectation, but in 1993 word leaked that he suffered from vitiligo, which was quickly rechristened "Michael Jackson's disease" and became the stuff of jokes on late-night TV. (Indeed, it was Jackson's vitiligo that furthered the Los Angeles Police Department's suspicions that he had been a child molester; a thirteen-year-old accuser allegedly had identified distinctive skin markings on Jackson's penis.)
Yet even with Jackson's name—and, less publicly, the names of other celebrities, ranging from actor Dudley Moore to Palestinian Authority and Council chairman Yasir Arafat—attached to it, vitiligo remains something of a mystery. It is known that the disease can strike at any age, though half of those affected see symptoms before age twenty. It tends to erupt and then remit in cycles. Left untreated, it can render its victim a de facto albino and, if the depigmented skin is not properly protected from sunlight, increase the risk of skin cancer. It has a hereditary linkage: 30 percent of vitiligo cases are inherited. It is generally classified as an autoimmune disorder, meaning that something triggers the immune system to identify normal skin pigment cells as dangerous invaders and gobble them up, though it has also been associated with stress and can appear or spread more quickly in areas of the skin that have been traumatized by a scratch or a burn. But beyond those scattered notions, a firm grasp of the condition's pathogenesis continues to escape dermatologists—even at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where Price and many other Texans with the condition are treated.
About the only thing that is certain about vitiligo is that its sufferers endure a great deal. Not physically—it isn't potentially fatal or even painful, and it isn't disabling in any significant way—but mentally: The disease creates disfiguring skin splotches that can be severely embarrassing, especially in a culture that tends to associate beauty and even good health with suntanned skin. "When I realized I really had it bad, I felt that my life was over," says 66-year-old Tyler oilman Allen Locklin, whose condition was diagnosed fifty years ago. "Everything I enjoyed was out of doors. The more tanned you get with this, the more it shows. I just became a recluse for two years."
Actually, vitiligo tends to look worse than it really is. Though to a layman it can resemble leprosy or some form of jungle rot, it is not infectious and has nothing to do with poor hygiene. Its most insidious aspect may be its tendency to sneak up surreptitiously on its victim, first in areas of the body that he may not inspect carefully on a daily basis: under the arms and in the groin area; around ankles, wrists, and elbows; on the flanks of the midsection. "I couldn't really even see how bad I looked until spring or summer, when I got a tan," says 39-year-old Dallas public relations agency owner Susan Carter. "Even then, it was usually in areas that are covered by clothing."
Carter's first encounter with vitiligo was in 1984, when she noticed an odd whitish blotch on the inside of her thigh. It appeared so benign that she thought it must be a stain from sun screen. After a while, though, it didn't go away, and her doctor told her she had vitiligo, a malady that sounded like some awful tropical virus. It wasn't nearly as bad as all that, but in time she discovered that it was far from good. Dermatologists at Dallas' Presbyterian Hospital told her the disease was of unknown origin and essentially incurable. Restoring the lost pigment would require taking the drug psoralen, which stirs repigmentation but has unpleasant side effects, including nausea and dizziness. She would then have to carefully tan the depigmented portions of her body for at least a year.
Despite the time and trouble involved, Carter gave the treatment a fair chance. But the side effects were as harsh as promised, and the so-called PUVA (psoralen ultraviolet A) treatment didn't seem to work all that well, so after a year she quit. "I'd noticed the vitiligo had stopped spreading," she says. "Since it was mostly in inconspicuous places, I decided I could live with it if it didn't come back and get any worse."
It took ten years, but it did come back, and it did get worse: It re-erupted not only in discreet regions of Carter's

NE= Not Established Section III - Physical Welding consumables applicable to this sheet as shipped consist of odorless, solid rods or wire, which have a metallic luster. As shipped, these products are nonflammable, non-explosive, non-reactive, and non-hazardous. Section IV – Fire and Explosion Hazard These items are not reactive, flammable, or explosive and essentially not hazardous at ambient temperatures. Welding arcs and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammable products. If involved in a fire, these products may generate irritating aluminum fumes and a variety of metal oxides. Emergency responders must wear personal protection equipment suitable for the situation. Use the extinguishing media recommended for the burning materials and fire situation. See ANSIZ49.1 "Safety in Welding and Cutting" and "Safe Practices" Code: SP, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL, 33135, and NFPA 51B "Cutting and Welding Processes," published by the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 for additional fire prevention and protection information. Section V – Health Hazard Data Welding fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Electric shock can kill you. Arc says can injure eyes and burn skin. Noise can damage hearing. Route of overexposure: The primary route of entry of the decomposition products is by inhalation. Skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion are possible. Effects of Acute (Short-Term) Overexposure: Short-term (acute) overexposure to the gases, fumes, and dusts may include irritation of the eyes, lungs, nose, and throat. Some toxic gases associated with welding may cause pulmonary edema, asphyxiation, and death. Acute overexposure may include sign and symptoms such as watery eyes, nose and throat irritation, headache, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, frequent coughing, or chest pain. The presence of chromium/chromate in fume can cause irritation of nasal membranes and skin. The presence of nickel compounds in fume can cause metallic taste, nausea, tightness of chest, fever, and allergic reaction. Excessive inhalation or ingestion of manganese can produce manganese poisoning. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervous system, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotional disturbances, and spastic gait resembling Parkinsonism. These symptoms can become progressive and permanent if not treated. Excessive inhalation of fumes may cause "Metal Fume Fever" with Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, vomiting, sweating, etc. Pre-existing Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Individuals with allergies or impaired respiratory function may have symptoms worsened by exposure to welding fumes. Effects of Chronic (Long-Term) Overexposure: Long-term (Chronic) overexposure to air contaminants may lead to their accumulation in the lungs, a condition which may be seen as dense areas on chest X-rays. The severity of the change is proportional to the length of exposure. The changes seen are not necessarily associated with symptoms or signs of reduced lung function or disease. In addition, the changes on X-rays may be caused by non-work factors such as smoking, etc. Nickel and chromium are considered carcinogenic. Long term overexposure to nickel fumes may also cause pulmonary fibrosis and edema. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervous system, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotional disturbances, and spastic gait. Excessive inhalation or ingestion of manganese can produce manganese poisoning. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervous system, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotional disturbances, and spastic gait resembling Parkinsonism. These symptoms can become progressive and permanent if not treated. Excessive inhalation of fumes may cause "Metal Fume Fever" with Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, vomiting, sweating, etc. CARCINOGENICITY: Certain hexavalent chromium compounds, nickel metal and compounds and respirable crystalline silica are listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Annual Report on Carcinogens, found to be a potential carcinogen in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC Monographs, or listed by OSHA/ACGIH as potential California proposition 65: This product contains or produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health and Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.) EU RoHS: Welding wire and electrodes contain Chromium. When welded Welding Products will produce Cr VI (hexavalent chrome), however, the weld deposit does not contain Cr VI as it will all be in the zero valent state or as Cr III as an oxide. Finished products manufactured using welding wire and electrodes will not contain Cr VI. VI – Reactivity Data Hazardous Decomposition Products: Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedure and welding consumables used. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coating on the metal being welded (i.e. paint, painting, galvanizing), the number of welders, the volume of the work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, the position of the welders head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from the cleaning and degreasing activities). When an electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section II. Fume and gas decomposition, and not the ingredients in the electrode, are important. The concentration of a given fume or gas component may decrease or increase by many times the original concentration. Also, new compounds not in the electrodes may form. Decomposition products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown in Section II, plus those from the base metal coating, etc., as noted above. Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product would include: Complex oxides of iron, manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, columbium, molybdenum, copper, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen oxides. Some products will also contain antimony, barium, molybdenum, aluminum, columbium, magnesium, strontium, tungsten, and or zirconium. Fume limit for chromium, nickel and or manganese may be reached before limit of 5 mg/m of general welding fumes is reached. Most welding, even with primitive ventilation, does not produce exposures within the welding helmet above 5mg/m. That which does should be controlled. Section VII – Spill or Leak Procedures This product is not hazardous per 49 CFR 172.101 by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Section VIII – Special Protection Information Ventilation: Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc (of flame), or both, to keep the fumes and gases below the PEL's, TLV's and STEL's in the workers breathing zone and general area. Train the employee to keep his head out of the fumes. See ANSI/ASC Z49.1 Section 5. Respiratory Protection: Use respirable fume respirator or air- supplied respirator when welding, brazing or soldering in a confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure within limits outlined in Section II. Eye Protection: Arc Rays can injure your eyes. Wear helmet or face shield with filter lens of appropriate shade number. See ANSI/ASC Z49.1 Section 4.2. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others. Protective Clothing: Wear head and body protection, which help to prevent injury form radiation, sparks, flame and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At minimum this includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the employee not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate him/herself from work and ground. Welders should not wear short sleeve shirts or short pants. Waste Disposal Method: Prevent waste for contamination surrounding environment. Discard any product or residue in a disposable container or liner in an environmentally approved manner under full compliance with federal, state and local regulations. Emergency First Aid: Remove from dust or fume exposure immediately and seek medical attention. If breathing has stopped perform artificial respiration and summon emergency medical aid For other precautions or additional safety information on welding and cutting, see American Standard Z49.1-1980, Safety in Welding and Cutting, and the Welding Handbook, Volume 1, Chapter 9, Safe Practices in Welding and Cutting.

You could very well be correct on everything you said.
However, keep in mind, I've seen other people reference different pics--from those exact same tournaments--they came from, to illustrate how skinny and "fit" Petra was. So once again, it just shows you how different outfits, their fit, colors, and picture angles, can affect someones appearance.
And of course, none of this let's us know how well prepared, trained Petra's body and tennis is, along with her head, confidence and mental frame work.
They're all factors. Cause Petra, is not one of those top players (not at the moment, until proven otherwise), who can/will give you expected performances or effort in certain/set areas.

FreshRoast Plus 8 - This is the machine I learned to home roast on. Been using it for one year now and absolutely love it. It really shines when you factor in cost, performance, and quality.
I usually roast 2-3 times per week or just enough to keep a "degassed" reserve on hand to match consumption. If I had more mouths to feed (or keep caffeinated ), then I would move up to a larger capacity roaster, but for my wife and I, the FRP8 is perfect.

The President of the El Salvadoran Center for Appropriate Technologies (CESTA), Ricardo Navarro, has demanded that the U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, Mari Carmen Aponte, stops pressurizing the Government of El Salvador to buy Monsanto's GM seeds rather than non-GMO seeds from domestic suppliers.
"I would like to tell the U.S. Ambassador to stop pressuring the Government (of El Salvador) to buy 'improved' GM seeds," said Navarro, which is only of benefit to U.S. multinationals and is to the detriment of local seed production, Verdad Digital reported last week.
In recent weeks, the U.S. has been pushing the El Salvadoran Government to sign the second Millennium Challenge Compact. One of the main conditions on the agreement is allegedly for the purchasing of GM seeds from Monsanto.
At the end of 2013 it was announced that without 'specific' economic and environmental policy reforms, the U.S. government would not provide El Salvador with $277 million in aid money through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
It is now clear that by 'specific reforms' the MCC means reforms that allow GM crops and their associated pesticides to be forced on El Salvador's Government and citizens.

The 2014 US Open commences on Monday with 24 singles matches, featuring No. 1 seed and 2011 champion Novak Djokovic, third-seed Stan Wawrinka, fifth-seed Milos Raonic and 2012 titlist Andy Murray.
Rogers Cup champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Donald Young, who is one of two Americans in action on Day One (Klahn), feature on Grandstand court.
Djokovic, who has reached the US Open final the past four years (five overall), winning the title in 2011, faces Diego Schwartzman, a 22-year-old Argentine playing in his second career Grand Slam tournament and first career tour level hard court event. The World No. 1 is 36-6 lifetime against Argentines (4-0 in New York).
Wawrinka, who climbed to a career-high No. 3 in the Emirates ATP Rankings after capturing the Australian Open crown in January (d. Nadal), takes on 20-year-old left-hander Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic. The World No. 4 reached his first US Open semi-final last year, defeating Tomas Berdych and defending champion Murray.
On Armstrong stadium, Murray plays Dutch No. 1 Robin Haase for the fourth time. In their previous meeting here in the second round at Flushing Meadows in 2011, he rallied from a two-set deficit to advance. The Scot is making his 10th straight appearance at the US Open, entering with a 33-8 match record.
Raonic takes on 21-year-old Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel, who is making his major main draw debut. The Canadian is a top-five seed at a Grand Slam for the first time. One of two players age 23-under in the Top 10 (Dimitrov), Raonic won the Emirates Airline US Open Series, keyed by a title run at the Citi Open and semi-final result at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 stop in Cincinnati.
Other high-profile match-ups include Australian young gun Nick Kyrgios facing two-time semi-finalist Mikhail Youzhny on Court 17 and No. 16 seed Tommy Robredo taking on Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Kyrgios is one of five teenagers in the draw and is competing in his first Grand Slam since upsetting Rafael Nadal en route to the Wimbledon quarter-finals. Robredo, meanwhile, tries to become the third active player (Nadal, Ferrer) with 200 wins on both hard and clay courts.
On Court 7, No. 31 seed Fernando Verdasco attempts to win his 400th career match as he battles 2013 NCAA singles champion Blaz Rola. The Spaniard became just the sixth man in the Open Era to come back from two sets down at all four majors (Becker, Federer, Krickstein, Nalbandian, Noah) with a second-round victory at Roland Garros.

The variants detected by deCODE MI(TM), are two SNPs (single-letter variants in the genome) on chromosome 9p21. They were discovered by deCODE scientists earlier this year through genome-wide SNP analysis in Iceland and replicated in three cohorts of European descent from Philadelphia, Atlanta and Durham, North Carolina. Of the 17,000 patients and control subjects in the study, more than 20% of participants carried two copies of the variant, corresponding to a more than 60% increase in risk of heart attack, regardless of age of onset, compared to those without the variant. In early-onset cases -- men and women who suffered a heart attack before the ages of 50 and 60, respectively -- carrying two copies of the variant corresponds to an approximate doubling of risk compared to non-carriers. The variant is estimated to account for approximately one-fifth of the incidence of heart attack in populations of European origin, and nearly one third of early-onset cases, making it the one of the most significant genetic risk factors found to date for heart attack as a public health problem.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is on the roads protesting in the winter chill, but his medical condition could worsen as he is a diabetic patient which makes him more prone to cold and chest infections as compared to normal people, doctors said on Tuesday.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas do not produce enough insulin or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.
The chief minister, along with his ministers and volunteers, spent the entire Monday night on the road outside the Rail Bhavan in central Delhi raising slogans. And from all indications so far, he seems set to spend Tuesday night also in the open.
"A person who is diabetic will be more prone to infections with exposure to cold. Infections like pneumonia, cough or any other kind of chest infection are more common among diabetics," Anup Mishra, director, Fortis C-DOC hospital for diabetes, told IANS.
He said if a diabetic is also suffering from hypertension, then he or she becomes more prone to heart attacks as the blood pressure increases due to exposure to extreme weather putting pressure on the heart.
Suronjit Chatterjee, senior consultant, internal medicine, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, said: "A diabetic is also an immuno compromised person. That is why they are more prone to infections when their blood sugar is uncontrolled."
Immuno compromised individuals are less capable of battling infections because of an immune response that is not properly functioning.
"I would say that when such people catch infections, doctors should be more aggressive in treating them," he said.
Kejriwal, who spent the night in the open, had to undergo several medical checks-ups by his physician.
Randeep Guleria, head of the department of pulmonary medicine, All India Institute of Medical Science said diabetics form a high risk group for any kind of infection.
"Diabetics form a high risk group. They should protect themselves from exposure to extreme cold, especially during early morning and late night," he said.
Guleria added that vaccination against flu and pneumonia was a good option for patients suffering from diabetes.

One year ago, Cardinal Nation tasted the very definition of bittersweet as the team reveled in its 11th—and inarguably most dramatic and improbable—World Series Championship while also saying goodbye to Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan, the outgoing brain trust of so much on-the-field success over a decade and a half in St. Louis. Their departure set in motion a transfer of eras to new manager Mike Matheny, and on Friday another big chunk of that transfer disappeared from the Busch Stadium landscape and headed west. As reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals hitting coach Mark McGwire is expected to depart for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he will assume the same role under manager Don Mattingly. McGwire cited a desire to be closer to his family as the reason for the move. It's hard to know just what a hitting coach contributes to a major league team. He does not teach players to hit—they have to know how to do that before they get past Double-A. He can't provide a magic b...

I totally agree with Vardia there, awesome lighting... Super cool first post. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have to offer.

Claws, green skin, defined musculature... She's got some nice reptoid features. Keep posting.
April 28th, 2009 #5
Nice first picture! The shading is really nicely done and I like her expression. I think the pose is a little off you have her left hip and shoulder more shifted to the back but her left leg seeming to be infront of the other one. It makes the leg looks longer than the other.
May 2nd, 2009 #6
berf// yeah, the effect is not very clear. She is geting out a dimmensional portal and the left leg it´s supossed not to be out yet.
Thanks everyone, here is a new green eyed and haired evil girl.

You're absolutely right, Dahami, here is a second and (I think) better version of the character above. From now on I'll try to post earlier.
July 18th, 2009 #10
You're off to a great start, just keep in mind reflective light and color--and that skin tone has lots of colors to it. Most of your skin tones right now look very flat.
But lots of great sexy ladies!! keep it up!

The amount of information contained in databases available on the Web has grown explosively in the last years. This information, known as the Deep Web, is heterogeneous and dynamically generated by querying these back-end (relational) databases through Web Query Interfaces (WQIs) that are a special type of HTML forms. The problem of accessing to the information of Deep Web is a great challenge because the information existing usually is not indexed by general-purpose search engines. Therefore, it is necessary to create efficient mechanisms to access, extract and integrate information contained in the Deep Web. Since WQIs are the only means to access to the Deep Web, the automatic identification of WQIs plays an important role. It facilitates traditional search engines to increase the coverage and the access to interesting information not available on the indexable Web. The accurate identification of Deep Web data sources are key issues in the information retrieval process. In this paper we propose a new strategy for automatic discovery of WQIs. This novel proposal makes an adequate selection of HTML elements extracted from HTML forms, which are used in a set of heuristic rules that help to identify WQIs. The proposed strategy uses machine learning algorithms for classification of searchable (WQIs) and non-searchable (non-WQI) HTML forms using a prototypes selection algorithm that allows to remove irrelevant or redundant data in the training set. The internal content of Web Query Interfaces was analyzed with the objective of identifying only those HTML elements that are frequently appearing provide relevant information for the WQIs identification. For testing, we use three groups of datasets, two available at the UIUC repository and a new dataset that we created using a generic crawler supported by human experts that includes advanced and simple query interfaces. The experimental results show that the proposed strategy outperforms others previously reported works.

Armstrong's ex-boss Bruyneel leaves RadioShack
Published on Oct 13, 2012 6:22 AM
PARIS (AFP) - Johan Bruyneel, disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong's former manager during his drug-tainted seven Tour de France wins, has left his current team RadioShack, the Luxembourg outfit announced on Friday.
The decision comes just two days after the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) condemned Armstrong for being at the heart of the biggest doping conspiracy in sports history.
"I am surprised and extremely disappointed that USADA released information in the public domain relating to their pending case against me before I had been given any opportunity to review the evidence and provide my defence against it," said Mr Bruyneel.
"I still hope to be able to defend myself in a forum free from bias, although I now fear that USADA's calculated action may have irreversibly prejudiced my case.

Helix Reviews
Construction was good but taste mostly like smoking hay. I did not like the taste at all.
Taste is OK but construction is terrible. Packed way too tight. I tried a 5 pack and 3 had severe draw issues.
A mild cigar that has a good taste of tobacco. Nothing special but none the less not bad for an easy smoke. Draw, burn and construction was good and had no issues.
I was looking for a mild cigar to add to the humidor full of medium strength cigars. After the intial light up, the cigar burned a little harsh and peppery, but after a minute or two it smoothed out nicely with a smooth tasty easy draw. Good smoke, good draw, good ash, good burn. Held up nicely. I enjoyed it all the way to the end.A very good, smooth inexpensive cigar for a daily visit. I recommend it.
These cigars are very good for the price. I ordered a box for a fishing trip and they were worth every penny. Every cigar was perfect.
I smelled this Cigar thinking it would have a great taste. I was Very Wrong! The appearance was impressive but the taste was Positively horrible. I spent aprox 7 minutes working through it and its just a taste that I can't approve of. Titan Phillies have a far superior taste and they are throw away cigars. I couldn't even finish this Helix. Look somewhere else for your enjoyment!
This is a very mild smoke but it is great if that is what you are looking for. Its a great size, build, and smokes great. If your looking for a very mild smoke you can't beat this for the money.
This is a great quick smoke. It is mild and smooth.
A mediocre smoke, with modest flavor. Burn was average, draw and construction was good.
The Helix 652 is a good cigar.I am new to cigar smoking,but the taste kept me wanting more,natural and earthy.I thought the draw was a little tight,with not alot of smoke.The look is so,so,but all the other things about the Helix is good.Would like to try the maduros next time.Smoke on!

In this issue: FINRA Notice Regarding Complex Products; FINRA's Recent Consent Agreement: A Continued Focus on Adequate Supervisory Systems and Procedures in the Sale of Reverse Convertible Notes; FINRA Revises Proposal re Communications with the Public; and SEC Announces Second Extension of Comment Period for Conflict of Interest Rules.
Excerpt from 'FINRA Notice...':
FINRA recently released Regulatory Notice 12-03 titled "Complex Products: Heightened Supervision of Complex Products." The Notice identifies the types of products that may be considered "complex" and provides guidance to member firms regarding supervisory concerns associated with sales of complex products. Until now, in the United States we had avoided the debate ongoing for some time now in Europe regarding "complex" and non complex (simple?) products. It is interesting that FINRA is now headed in a direction similar to that taken by European regulators.
This Notice identifies as complex products those that include "complicated or intricate derivative like features", like structured notes, certain exchange-traded funds, hedge funds and asset-backed securities. The Notice references FINRA's prior Notices to Members and Regulatory Notices regarding particular types of structured products. The Notice reminds member firms that the firms should review and assess the adequacy of their controls with respect to products that may be deemed complex. In this regard, the Notice reminds members that they must discharge their suitability obligation, which entails diligence regarding the features of the product, including potential risks and rewards.
