Great stuff from you, I've read your stuff before and you're just too awesome. I love what you've got here, love what you're saying and the way you say it. http://youtu.be/GUcnC0SSWxo
I have the exact same problem as rain. Also an emachines E525 with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M.
There is a problem with the acpi controller. If you start the xubuntu 11.10 setup with the noacpi=off option, the backlight is turned of at the beginning of setup but you can turn it on by pressing Fn+right arrow. It will display everything correctly until you restart after finishing install. Then it's off again and there's nothing you can do about that.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit works perfectly in HD (cam, card reader, additional drivers for wlan) but you can't adjust the backlight.
I'll be sticking around 10.04 lts until there will be a fix for this… it suck because I can't install "the cool stuff". Anything newer than 10.04 just won't work.
This situation reminds me of the software modems that would only work with linux ages ago… :)
Help with Acer eMachines E525. When I start ubuntu linux turn off the light of the laptop and nothing is visible only with a focus
What do you mean by : linux turn off the light. Do you mean the screen ?
I cant understand what you do "with a focus", to get something visible on your laptop.
I enjoyed reading your post and found it to be informative and to the topic. Thank you for not rambling on and on just to fill the page. Thanks.
girlsdoporn
I try to install ubuntu but it turns out the light from the laptop to start installation
If i guess what you do :
- you insert an ubuntu install CD.
- the CD is recognized.
- At a moment the video screen is turned off, but can you tell me when ?
A second general question : does your laptop work properly under windows Vista ?
A third question : have-you tried with an other ubuntu install CD or install version ?
An advice : please, make an effort to explain clearly what happens.
I had windows 7 ran perfectly Now I try to install Ubuntu 11.04 * Insert the DVD runs perfectly * Displays a Rose With Two Figures * turns off screen brightness and light When all the letters of ubuntu * You see the picture But it has Help me light
just turn off the light, the image does not turn off .. It starts when installed, and the Ubuntu logo
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and check again here frequently. I'm quite certain I will learn many new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next! Thank you for share.

The post are professionally authored IN ADDITION TO i are generally just like the author provides extensive knowledge within your subject. Nice post.

If windows 7 is functioning well on your laptop, this means that its hardware is (could be) operating well. It can be a install software problem. You must check the DVD media quality and the Ubuntu version, that is try with an other DVD (for example an internet installation), and/or with an other oldest Ubuntu version.
Go and see if others people around you have the same analysis of the situation than me. Anyway, to try and test all theses possibilities will be very time consuming to you, so I wish you a good luck.
Hey. I had the same problem on my E525, but I solved it with a couple of acpi codes in grub. Here's the how-to:
(at least) If you have multiple OS's, there should be a point in the boot where you can choose what OS to run (grub). Place the marker over the Ubuntu-loader and press E. Now you are able to run this boot with custom programming. Where it says 'quiet splash', (instead of or after) enter 'acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux'. Then press F10. (the 'quiet splash' code tells the computer not to print the booting-procedure, witch is quite unnecessary to remove, but it will make you look more like a computer pro)
If the screen is still black, try Fn+←.
Now to make it last:
Open a terminal (default Ctrl+Alt+F2).
enter 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub' (your password will be required).
'GRUB_TIMEOUT=' changes how long it will take until grub chooses the marked OS for you. write seconds by numbers.
in 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=' write 'acpi_backlight=vendor' (again, instead of or after 'quiet splash')
in 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' write 'acpi_osi=Linux'
<!! Don't change anything else! You might be unable to boot if grub is messed up!>
exit (Ctrl+x), and save (y and then enter)
you are now back in terminal.
type 'sudo update-grub' (your password might be required)
Now Ubuntu will boot with backlight control. Still working on fixing absolute control (to set levels of brightness, and use commands of choice to set it)
Screen still black? Try Fn+←
tengo problemas con la camara web en ubuntu 10.10 y nose como hacerla funcionar en esete notbokk emachine acer e525 si pueden ayudar porfa
I can't help you, but I cans translate your question in english :
I have got problems with the web camera on ubuntu 10.10 and I ignore how get it functioning on this notebook emachine acer e525. If you can help, please.
Je ne peux pas vous aider, mais je peux traduire votre question en français :
J'ai des problèmes avec la caméra web sur ubuntu 10.10 et ne sais pas comment la faire fonctionner sur ce portable emachine avec e525. Si vous pouvez m'aider SVP.
I bought a Emachines E525 on a lark at bestbuy for $275. It's one of the best laptops I've ever used for running Ubuntu. I initially loaded Ubuntu 9.04 and then upgraded to 9.10 (starting with 9.10 was problematic.) Everything seems to work great!. 3D acceleration (for compvis), external monitor at 1900×1200, Wifi… My 525 has no web cam. Overall I've been thrilled with it.
how do you use the webcam?? i supposedly have one, and the guy at best buy told me i had one…………but………………….
Sorry but the webcam is not my concern. I am not interested in it. In fact I have not tested it.
Yes, in fact i bought ACER eMachine e525, one week ago, everithing is OK under Windows Vista, but i prefer Linux. So, first i tried with SUSE 10.0 but the DVD is not recognized when installing, Then i succeded to install Kubuntu 9.04 but i came across this ethernet connexion pb, and tried with ubuntu 8.10, which is ok too, without this same connexion pb.
By searching on the net i finally understood that it was a driver pb. I found different web sites explaining the same method, and first i tried yours, which appeared shorter. I followed your link
and everything worked propely, and i got my wired internet connection. Thank you very much.
To you who make it under eMachine e525 be carefull of not confusing :
sudo modprobe atl1e with a 1, which is correct
sudo modprobe atlle with a double ll, which is wrong.

Apply now for a Business Interest Checking Account!
Apply now for a Business Loan!
Written by Jeff Thredgold, President, Thredgold Economic Associates
June 22
This is the companion piece to Domestic ABCs of May 26, 2010
Anxiety—we've been through a lot during the past 24 months, with corporate and individual anxiety levels remaining high. Many investors still take a "shoot first, ask questions later" approach to their investments (meaning sell on any sign of trouble)
Budget Deficits—unprecedented government spending around the world to offset financial chaos during the past two years has led budget deficits in too many countries to astronomical levels. Excessive government spending must be reduced…sooner rather than later
China—this nation's announcement of recent days to allow their currency to fluctuate further (and likely rise in value) in coming months should be a positive longer-term development
Dollar—remember a few supermodels and others who demanded their earnings be paid in euros during the past few years, trying to avoid the sagging U.S. dollar? The euro has fallen nearly 20% versus the dollar over the past six months. There is justice after all
Europe—ongoing moves toward more and more government of recent decades have come home to roost in Southern Europe. Stronger euro nations now get to spend a fortune to keep Europe (and the euro) intact. See "S" below
Fiscal Stimulus—unprecedented budget deficits are an end result of massive government spending, here and around the globe. However, what was "necessary" during the past 24 months to stabilize the economy and financial markets is NOT necessary later on
Global Economy—reasonably solid growth led by Asia, the U.S., Brazil, and Africa seems likely this year, while Europe will be sluggish at best
Hunger—a child starves to death every six seconds somewhere in the world. Can't we work together better?
India— the world's longest-standing democracy continues to record solid growth, tied in part to strong domestic demand
Japan—growing again, although recent growth pales versus the '60s, '70s, and '80s. The "lost decade" of the '90s could now be lengthened to include the decade just ended (whatever we call it)
Korea (North)—massive failure of this centrally planned economy is without question. Will potential new leadership (daddy's boy) ever right this ship?
Libor—(the London Interbank Offered Rate). A formerly nondescript global interest rate has become more newsworthy in the U.S. as trillions of dollars of adjustable rate loans are tied to it
Mexico—the troubled tourism sector, damaged in a big way during the past two years, could see more of its future tied to successes…and failures…in the government's struggle with drug cartels
Neighbor to the North—Canada? Solid economic growth…low inflation…declining unemployment…the strongest economy of the G7 nations
Oil—the oil spill in the Gulf is an environmental disaster…no question. The President's moratorium on deep-water drilling (and the loss of perhaps an additional 100,000 or more jobs in the Gulf) is also disgusting…here come de judge
Politics—some nations have moved to the political left, others moved to the right. U.S. Congressional elections on November 2 will be crucial as to which way this nation "leans" in coming years
Quagmires—as before, there never seems to be a shortage. Today's list still includes Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iran, Iraq, the Sudan, and the Middle East
Russia—life was great when oil exceeded $100 per barrel in this oil-rich nation. Lower prices have led to higher unemployment, declining living standards, and questions about who is "minding the store"
Socialism—Margaret Thatcher said it best…and it applies to Europe!..."The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money"
Taxes—likely to rise in the U.S., the U.K., and across Europe next year as nations try to pay for "B" and "F" above. Note: you cannot tax your way to prosperity. Spending restraint, including entitlement reform, must be part of the deal
Unemployment—job cuts have been extremely painful around the globe during the past two years, with more than 50 million people losing jobs. Better news is ahead
Volatility—pick any descriptor…financial market…economic…commodity price…political
WWW—the World Wide Web continues to be both amazing…and cluttered with junk. Still, estimates suggest we have tapped only about 10% of the potential of the Internet. Global companies using it are expected to save in excess of $1 trillion in operating costs during the next three years
eXports—God forbid you gather a room full of economists. The only thing we will largely agree on is that steps to build bridges to trade are positive…steps to build barriers to trade are not
Young People (around the world)—facing a rising tax burden in coming decades to finance the retirement years of Baby Boomers (and Boomers' parents) if minor changes are not soon made
Zero Sum Game (which global trade is not)—any trade restrictions (protectionism) we impose on another nation are soon matched or exceeded by that nation. The Congress must be very careful

Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
One of the advantages of using Photoshop CS5 is the new Refine Edge dialog. So, let's go ahead and take a look at how that works. First, I am going to press the W key in order to select the Quick Select tool. Next, I am going to simply click and drag across the image in order to make a pretty good selection of the leaf. Well, up in the Options bar, you'll notice that there is a button titled Refine Edge. Let's go ahead and click on that. Here, what we can see is that we have some options which can help us to improve the selection. I am going to zoom in on the image by pressing Command+Plus on a Mac or Ctrl+Plus on a PC.
Then I'll hold down the Spacebar key and click and drag in order to reposition. Well, in particular you can see that this edge right here is a little bit choppy. The edge is just a little bit too pixelated. It didn't do a very good job with the edge. What I can do is I can use this dialog in order to sweeten this up a little bit. If I go down to my Adjust Edge controls here, I can increase the Smooth amount. As I do that, you can see that it really smoothed things out in regards to the overall edge. I can bring back a little bit of contrast in order to build that up a little bit more.
Again, so I have a nice, strong line there, or I could soften the line just a bit, depending on what I was interested in doing with this image. I could do a few other things too. If I decrease the Edge, what it's going to do is bring that in, or I can increase, which would bring it out. Here, we are going to see more of the background. So, in this case what we want to do is probably just leave it as is. I'll take it back to zero. If ever you want to see your before and after, click on Show Original. Here is the Original, and then there is the after.
Now, the details may be a little bit tricky to see on the screen after this movie has been compressed. So, you have to do this on your own. But really, it can help out by leaps and bounds. I am going to zoom out a little bit, just to make sure that it looks good. Look at my before and after. Before and then after. The after looks so much better. Then the next step that I am going to take is go ahead and Output this to a simple Selection. If I click on the pop-up menu though, you'll notice there are a few other options. I am going to start off simply with Selection and click OK.
Well, now that I have a nice selection of this leaf, I can do so many different things. One thing that I could do would be to copy this content to a new layer. I can do this by way of a shortcut. This is one of the shortcuts that's really worth just learning the shortcut, not the long cut, and here it is. It's Command+J on a Mac, Ctrl+J on a PC. It allows us to jump this content to a new layer. Let's press that. Now, here you can see I have a new layer with this leaf on it. Click on the Eye icon of the Background layer.
There we have the leaf by itself. Now, at this juncture, I can begin to modify the leaf; for example, I could choose Edit and then select Free Transform. Or of course, there is a shortcut key: Command+D. Then I am going to click and drag to reposition this just to change the orientation. Then press Enter or Return. So, we are able to do all of this so quickly, really because of Refine Edge. That Refined Edge dialog is quite powerful because it helps us sweeten up and improve our selection edges.

Major Gun Bans: Attention Colorado Residents This Week Is Our Last Chance!Submitted by enwo on Sun, 03/03/2013 - 14:57
The Colorado State Senate will consider and vote on six (6) major anti-gun bills this week. The bills under consideration will:
- BAN magazines over 15 rounds.
- BAN shotguns capable of 'readily' being converted to accept more than 8 rounds (this is virtually all pump-action and semi-auto shotguns).
- BAN all private sales
- BAN all weapons on college campuses by holders of concealed carry permits, yes not just students but also professors and staff.
- FORCE gun buyers to pay for their own background checks with no limit on the cost that could be charged.
- FORCE gun owners to receive more training for already unconstitutional concealed carry permits.
WE HAVE A CHANCE AT VICTORY THE VOTE IS EXPECTED TO BE EXTREMELY CLOSE, But you must act NOW! Call your State Senator express your opposition to these bill. Tell them you will not stand for criminalizing law-abiding citizen gun owners. If you do nothing these Unconstitutional bills will become law and we will lose are rights FOREVER!
Find your State Senator Here:
Encourage (D )Sen. Guzman to change here mind and support her gun manufacturing constituents.
THANK and SUPPORT (D)Sens Lois Tochtrop for opposing the magazine ban.
THANK and SUPPORT (D)Cheri Jahn for opposing the magazine ban.
The above two democrats must be made aware how much we appreciate them going against the tide, against their party to vote constitutionally. They are under enormous political pressure from above, even receiving calls from vice president Joe Biden. These two are our window to get the one additional democrat we need to defeat these bills.
CALL first thing Monday morning, don't wait until it's too late keep the pressure up all week. WE CAN WIN THIS FIGHT!! WE MUST WIN THIS FIGHT!

Three men were arrested Monday afternoon for an assault and robbery after a joint investigation between the Moore County and Richmond County sheriff's offices located the men in Ellerbe.
At about 12:30 p.m. Monday, Eagle Springs resident Juarez Sanchez called the Moore County Sheriff's Office to report that three Hispanic men had come to his home, held him at gun point and beat him with a pair of brass knuckles. Sanchez told police the suspects took $3,000 in cash and his Chevrolet pick-up after threatening his life.
Moore County Sheriff's Office investigators were able to identify the three suspects with evidence from the scene and information obtained during the investigation. It was determined that all three suspects had fled to Richmond County.
Captain Bill Mackey, with the criminal investigations division of the Moore County Sheriff's Office, said his office made contact with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office as Moore County law enforcement was on its way to a home in Ellerbe where the three men were believed to have recently relocated.
Mackey said officers from both agencies met at an area near 654 Clayton Carriker Road in Ellerbe for a briefing on the situation. A surveillance vehicle was sent to the address and it was verified that the vehicle police were looking for was at the address.
Richmond County sheriff's deputies, including a specialized K-9 unit and members of the Vice Narcotics Office, approached the home with Moore County investigators and arrested Ricardo Media Munos, 20, Samuel Martinez Merida, 23, and Santiago Martinez Merida, 18. Each suspect was charged with one count of felony robbery with a dangerous weapon, one count of felony second degree kidnapping, one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, one count of felony conspiracy and one count of felony larceny of a motor vehicle.
Mackey said police also recovered the stolen truck, cash and one of the firearms believed to have been used in the robbery in Eagle Springs.
All three suspects are confined at the Moore County Detention Center under a $200,000 secure bond. All three are due on March 11 in Moore County District Court in Carthage.
Mark Gulledge, chief deputy with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, highlighted the cooperation of the two law enforcement agencies that brought about the resolution of the incident in a safe manner.
"We've had numerous times to work together here in Richmond County and Moore County with them," Gulledge said of his Moore County colleagues.
He said this operation demonstrated that officers are able to work together to apprehend suspects "no matter where they are."

Masthead spinnaker bail, could this work?

Masthead spinnaker bail, could this work?
Currently, my masthead has a rather small padeye mounted at the front that was used as the spinnaker bail for the spin halyard and block to attach to.
See below pics:
The problem is that it points downward and is so short that by the time a block is added my asymmetric sock fouls on my furled headsail. I want to get a little more extension and separation between the forestay and spin halyard. So, I came up with this, a 5/16" u bolt that I installed and then bent upward in a vice. See below:
Could this work? My boat is SanJuan-28 and I only use the asym for light air work. However it didn't seem too hard to bent the u-bolt, so I'm worried it will either bend right back (downward) or will simply fail? What do you all think?
If this won't likely work, what recommendations might you have?
Thanks as always!

Actress Aditi Rao Hydari is totally against the term "item song". She says she won't mind being a part of a "dance number" as long as it is graceful.
"I hate the word item song. For me, an item song is when a girl wears small clothes and looks sexy...I don't want to look cheap. For me, grace is important. So I don't think I will do item number. But yes, if it's a dance number, I would love to do it," Aditi said here.
The actress is busy promoting her forthcoming film "Boss", in which she has even donned a bikini. She says she is happy with the positive response to her look in the movie which stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role.
"I was asked not to lose weight (for the movie), but I worked hard and toned my body. I wanted to go for a naturally feminine body. I did a lot of body exercise. I ate healthy, I am happy that people have liked it. I am happy that the feedback has been very positive," added the actress, earlier seen in movies like "Rockstar" and "London, Paris, New York".
"Boss", directed by Anthony D'Souza, releases Oct 16.

I enjoy that you guys are dipping the toe into libertarianism, but why not do an episode where you jump into the deep end of Anarcho-Capitalism. Murrary Rothbard, David Friedman, etc. I think the idea of questioning the regional, non voluntary, monopolies on rights enforcement that are governments very interesting, and think it might be a provocative subject.
I'd be really curious to see how these ideas could be presented and explored in a pop-econ manner.
Great work on this episode!

There's only one piece of baby gear that's legally required …
A car seat. And it doesn't matter whether you own a car or not …
Most hospitals won't allow you take baby home without seeing the car seat first!
It's a critical purchase…
And we're here to help you make the best decision, step by step.
Car seats come in various sizes and styles designed to fit baby's current age, size and weight. Experts recommend those with a five-point safety harness for the snuggest fit and widest range of use.
Everything must go
Because safety technology is constantly improving—never use a hand-me-down. Instead, buy the most up-to-date model available.
The backseat is the safest place to install any car seat.
Exceptions are minivans—where the middle row is safest—and certain pickups, where the front is the only option.
In that case, air bags must be disabled—if you don't know how, ask a mechanic.
Newer cars and car seats are LATCH equipped—with built in anchors and tethers attaching directly into the car.
New or old, it's best to let the local fire or health department inspect your car seat and show you how to buckle baby properly. Studies show seven out of 10 children are not buckled in safely.
Infant seats are designed for the first six to nine months of baby's life. They are portable, with detachable bases – allowing you to move a sleeping baby without waking.
If you have a second car, you can buy an extra base. Prior to the purchase ;Make sure the seat is light enough to carry – with or without baby!
Newborns need extra padding to keep them safe and snug. But only use inserts made especially for the car seat you purchase.;
Look for adjustable recline options that allow baby to sleep more easily in the car.;
And consider an infant seat compatible with your stroller---just pop the car seat into the stroller base and off you go.
By law you must install infant seats facing the rear of the car—not toward you. That's difficult for new parents—who want simply to glance over their shoulders to check on baby.
Consider an accessory mirror to help keep you in contact. But the seat must stay rear facing until baby turns one AND weighs at least 20 pounds.
Convertible designs are built to expand for use from infancy into the toddler stage. They save you money – but are not equipped with carrying handles or detachable bases.
If baby goes directly from a standard infant seat to a larger, toddler-sized model, you may need to insert safe padding for a snug fit at first.
For both convertible and toddler options, look for these features: Wide, twist free straps--and Front harness adjustments ---you'll be surprised how much easier it is to get baby in and out …;
Two piece chest clips that snap—much more difficult for your child to detach; Tether straps that adjust easily for safety ;And don't forget a washable cover!

Great bowls!
posted 7 years ago
These crock bowls are great! They're heavy enough that they don't tip over easily and they're extremely durable. Easy to clean and disinfect, we use a combination of these and stainless at our shelter.
Pros: very durable, easy to clean
Cons: none found

Why I been gone...(Gross-don't read while eating)
Sorry, I haven't been active for a few weeks, and I've been gone completely for the last week or so. Here's why...maybe you'll learn a lesson from it...at this point, it will take me another two weeks or so to get back up to speed...
(I posted this on my other favorite forum two days ago...)
Almost bit the big one...again...
Over labor day (Sept 1-4) I had to attend an event for which I had to do some cooking at home. When this happens, I turn into a raving lunatic and get absolutely no sleep. Things get left behind. Things get forgotten. Like which bag of leftover mashed potatoes and onions was good and which was accidentally left out for 36 hours on the counter top...
Guessed wrong.
A week later, looking for something to eat, found the bag in the frig and fried it for a quick snack. Threw up four hours later, and the "runs" started about an hour after that. (This was Friday night)
Figured I was being taught my usual lesson for stupidity and settled into the bathroom with appropriately placed dust bin in front of me. This went on through Saturday and Sunday. Just when I thought the worst should be over, it went down hill and all hell broke loose. Sunday night through Monday, I passed pretty near a pint of blood, and my throat was so raw and ripped up that I couldn't talk. At this point, I hadn't slept in 4 days. 10 pm, called the horse lady at work and told her to come get me. At this point, I had lost 16 pounds ( a good thing!) in four days, couldn't eat or drink, and was passing out at random moments and crashing into the furniture...
Emergency room (11:30pm)
"What's the problem?
"Fairly sure it's acute infectious diarrhea. Four days, caused by spoiled potatoes."
"Well, why don't we let the Doctor determine that?"
"Why don't we let the doctor stand behind me and I'll give him a demonstration complete with samples?"
Ushered to little room, disrobed and hooked up. Explained everything. Everybody very competent and understanding.
Doctor: "How are you so sure it infectious diarrhea?"
"I'm old. I know every symptom for every disease on earth that I could get. It's what I said, or I was kidnapped by aliens on Friday and the fuckin' anal probe broke off and it's still in there."
"Hah! We've already had two of those this week, but not from your area, so I'm guessing you're right."
Lots of stuff stuck in me, lots of stuff taken out. Now 1 am, and Suzanne (wife) hasn't had any real sleep for two days (a minor miracle for her) so I sent her home.
Little girl in green comes in and says,
"I want you to drink these two pints of glowing gunk that tastes like a combination of plaster and moose piss delightfully flavored with some unknown citrus chemical...and hold it in for one hour."
"Say what?!? I have explosive whatsit and you want me to do what?"
Negotiations ensued. I lost. Drank the crap.
Was supposed to go to CT scan at 3:45. Now 3:46 and I'm alternating between curling into foetal position and jumping up and down in the corner.
3:47--grabbed the medical coat rack with my fluid inputs, started dash for WC 12 feet across hall. Lost shorts forever 2/3 of the way across hall. Made the potty...sort of. Spent 10 minutes cleaning up, opened door and nice girl with wheel chair standing there said,
"Cut it too close, didn't I?"
"I'm not doin' that again, and I hope you're not a prude 'cause I got no pants."
"Hop on. We'll make it work."
Went and had first CT scan I ever had. Interesting. She explained all the little diddles and pictures to me and showed me how it worked and stuff. Fell asleep for first time in four days inside the machine.
Hour later, downstairs, wearing a sheet like a toga...
Doctor: "Ive checked blood and samples. Everything OK. Scans show massive thickening along lower bowel section wall, about a foot long. Could be one of two things, since it doesn't seem to be cancer."
"Like what?"
"Have you been swimming nude while eating a sandwich in a stagnent pond in South America lately?"
"Then it's acute infectious diarrhea. It's eating your colon. Caught it just in time. It hasn't moved to lymphatic tissue yet."
Now 5 am. Got pills the size of house to take. Lethal shit. Can't ingest vitamins, calcium, bismuth, aluminum, iron supplements, small children, caffein, alcohol, walk in the sun, solid food, and anything else fit for human consumption.
Feel stronger. Voice sounds like sound effects from George Romero movie. As of today, bleeding has stopped, cramps almost gone, and actually slept 5 hours non-stop. Had some broth last night, stayed down.
Should be better in 6-7 days.
How was your weekend?

dear lord, I'm glad you're OK after all of that. Only you could somehow turn this whole ordeal into something that would make me choke on my lunchtime tea with laughter... rather than disgust.
Great to have you back ^_~

It's a good thing i came to CA first too, Cuz...i was this close (holds up thumb and index finger to computer monitor)to eating some right here on my kitchen counter.
Close call. whew.
I owe you one.
In all seriousness, though, good to see you're better now.

Gear Review
Ditched the BD harness, got the Petzl hotness.
I *love* this harness. I'm 5'9", 140 pounds, 30" waist, enjoy long walks on the beach and I wear a Medium in the Hirundos (and in the Petzl Sama.)
The Hirundos is basically the Petzl Sama on a diet. Take the Sama, chop down the waist and leg loops, skinny out the belay-loop (while still meeting standard climbing harness strength requirements), skinny out the waist-strap and the speed-buckle, ditch the haul loop (but keep the 4 gear loops) and finally, turn the orange up to 11 and make the silver almost sparkly. Yes, "sparkly."
With that said, I love the Hirundos for everything except hour-long hang-dog or belay session. Its light weight and vented means you really won't notice it on during the day. Standard disclaimer applies: If you have really whopping thighs, then the legloops will be tight for the appropriately sized waist. The solution to that? Get the Adjama. :)

Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw
Hey all
I'm in the market for a big Cruiser., Blue Water Boat. There is a Irwin Citation on the market for less then 60K which it fits into my budget but don't know much about this boat.
Anyone with any info on this would be greatly appriciated.
I woudl be interested in somenes opinion about how does she handle rough weather? Has anyone had this in rough seas.????
Re: Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw
No comments? Looks to be a beautiful boat....
Re: Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw
Where do u want to go and what is your top budget. Irwins are fine but never my first choice for long distance cruising. They are great carrib boats or coastal, but Many have blister issues and there could be better boats for long distance cruising. There is no suich thing as a bluewater boat. Tell me your budget and ideal itinerary, I will give u my opinions. Others will also.
Re: Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw
Hey Brian
I am looking for something long distance., maybe cross the atlantic in a few years. Ideally under 60K for a 40ft or bigger.
Re: Irwin Citation 40 (1980) Reveiw
Friend has an Irwin 39 of that vintage. Typical build quality for a production boat of that era. And he has had some success in longer PHRF races. But not my choice for crossing oceans.

Letters: "'Obama's 2016"
What do the book and the film imply about his father's dream? and about Obama's own dream? and about the dreams of Obama's friends and associates, like Bill Ayers and the Reverend Wright? And is not the apparent harmony (not much noticed by his supporters back in 2008) about the president's world view and the world view of mentors even farther to the left than the two just named?
In writings, speeches and actions, the president has made clear his goals and plans for the future of the country. They should be apparent to all – unless we make ourselves blind to them. – Donald Spear, El Cajon
I doubt that Donna Frye realized she was demonstrating her ignorance (not stupidity) and insularity by admitting that she did not know of Dinesh D'Souza. It reminds me of the NY Times correspondent who was shocked by the Nixon presidential election victory by proclaiming that he did not know anyone who voted for him. Liberals are so attached to their mistaken beliefs that they have to shelter themselves from conservative views because they have no intellectual arguments to refute them.
D'Souza has been a fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford and worked with leading conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation. He is also a multiple NY Times best-selling author and a leading conservative intellectual. How can [Frye] engage in political discussions and not know of him?
Conservatives are more than happy to listen to the emotional positions of liberals and engage in factual debate. Putting one's head in the sand to ignore conservative thought is the only way that liberals can maintain their precious self-esteem. – Rick Firman, San Diego
As a Democrat, Donna Frye cannot be expected to endorse the movie "2016: Obama's America," but she should have been able to review it carefully and thoughtfully from her perspective. Instead of this, her article was merely a superficial political polemic.
She made no attempt to discuss or analyze critically any of the data or view points of the movie. In terms of careful analysis and critical thinking, her article would have received an "F" in my class! Perhaps her attitude reflects her opinion of the intelligence of the readers of the U-T, but perhaps it reflects the general attitude of most of today's politicians toward voters. Perhaps it also helps explain why America is doing such a poor job solving the serious problems we are facing today. – Janice C. Heinzmann, instructor of History, MiraCosta College, Del Mar

Re: Tailights
Marty I just rode Sunny Coast to Brisbane with a few diversions - almost 5 hrs of Rear Tailight and it still shows Green on the front one
It must be that the front one draws so much more cos I barely used it to conserve the battery to make sure my rear shone out all the way
Very happy with the result again
Being 3 watt it is way more powerful than even the Radbot 1w and way more visible
As I commute so daily I'm very concerned about being rear ended, although the ever intentional close calls from the "Commodore" brigade never changes unfortunately

Re: Tailights
Fellow riders complain about the brightness of my 1 watt Tioga Big Eye tail-light being - so I'm wondering could a tail light be so bright as to distract rather than attract attention and become a negative.
If a driver looks away from you when passing because your tail light is too bright, and misjudges how close he is to you, you could get rear ended because of your light. I did a check driving behind my son riding with the Big Eye, and at least for me, it didn't become distracting like this.
Have you tried driving behind someone with your 3W light to see if this could be a problem ?

Re: Tailights
Retarded iphone peice of crap!
Re: Tailights
A car brake light is 20w, and most car tail lights are at least 5w -> and there are at least 2 of each.
A red 3w led (given leds are twice as good as traditional bulbs) might be slightly more powerful than 1 car tail light but still hopelessly outclassed by the brake light. Its not going to dazzle anyone into hitting a rider. My experience with the 8w headlight is the brighter the light, the more the car driver underestimates the distance (which is a good thing).
Re: Tailights
Unfortunately the watts you are talking about are the input power requirement of the bulb.
The efficiency with which electrical energy is converted into light is markedly different between an incandescent light bulb and a LED. So comparing watts which are input is not informative.
It would be more useful to compare the light output using something like the metric unit for reporting the perceived power of a light - which is the lumen. Unfortunately, few suppliers or retailers of lights (either LEDs or incandescents) seem to bother with publishing useful data like lumen output. The magicshine supplier gives absolutely no quantitative performance specs. So we can only make some rough comparisons.
The bicycle light is not a braking light. It should be rated approximately the same as the light intensity for the red clearance tail-light on a motor bike - which is typically a single 5W (input) incandescent.
LEDs produce 5 to 10 times more light per watt than an incandescent (depending on the type of LED). So a 3W LED could be equivalent to a tail light with a 25 to 50 W incandescent. That would make it much brighter than a typical car or motor cycle brake light, and very much brighter than a tail light.
What you need to consider is how much brighter than a car brake light could it be without bringing the risk that drivers will look away from you and not see you should you or they wander or have to suddenly deviate from the course they are expecting (e.g. to avoid a pothole).
This is something that the ADR regulation for motor vehicles probably need to be more specific about. Daytime running lights have strict lumen output limits - possibly in recognition that many will be manufactured using LED arrays and have a potential to dazzle in counter-productive ways. The same kind of consideration needs to be given to tail-lights given the cheap high-powered LEDs now appearing in the market.
Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia
Re: Tailights
Hi WombatK
This sounds like a good idea
After using several Good QUality Rear lights and even trying out the Radbot 1w rear - there is not doubt that these magicshines are significantly brighter
I will report back after getting someone to ride past for me...
You can select to intermittent flash the centre LED then the outer ring of LED's (My preferred setting)
I would doubt that is anywhere near as bright as constant ALL ON
Anyway, I will check it out
But, practically for reliability and for longevity of charge - I am delighted so far

Re: Tailights
Never mind. I just had to commit to opening it with a knife. I am not sure if this is the proper/recommended method but it worked
Re: Tailights
I don't have one of these lights, but on similar types there is a spot on one end to insert a coin (maybe $2 or 10c) and then twist the coin to lever the cover off.
Re: Tailights
For those looking at battery powered taillights it looks like the Bicycles Community Blog has a pretty comprehensive review of taillights.
Re: Tailights
For completeness, here is one i saw on another BNA thread Getting dark in the mornings..., looks pretty effective and approx $99.
Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Like the other Dinotte users have posted, once you have one you wouldn't have it any other way. Whereas most of the Dinotte posters seem to use the 140, I use the 300R. I chose that because it has a large surface area and has a self-contained rechargeable battery (uses standard USB charger). I have been using this for about eighteen months.
Like the other posters I find myself attracting comments from other road users about its brightness, and I know from their path of travel behind me that motorists are very aware of the light as they come up behind.
As one post said, it is best to point it slightly downwards so that it creates a pool of light on the road. There is still plenty of light shining backwards, and it is easier to stay friends with the others in your group ride.
As well as the light you get multiple brackets for almost any conceivable fitting situation.
As someone who enjoys riding at night, my enjoyment is enhanced by knowing just how visible I am.

I wanted to tip my cap to a reader named Michael Bartholomew, who lives in Irvine and works in Newport Beach and splits Lakers season tickets with some friends. Michael e-mailed me after reading my column on Kobe Bryant and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to offer up tickets to Newport's Brent Alcaraz, the Wish child who was mentioned in the story as having recently missed Bryant's 65-point home game because Brent's doctor ordered him back to the hospital.
We put Michael in touch with Brent so that Brent can at least make it to a game this season. Kudos to Michael for his generosity and for taking action regarding something he felt was a good thing to do. Here was the e-mail I just got from Make-A-Wish in Orange County:
Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to let you know, Brent received his Lakers tickets. He is going to the game on Easter and is VERY excited.
Thanks again for the story...many good things are coming out it.
Here are some other comments made on the Register's Web site by your fellow readers regarding the column ...
It is a wonderful story to read positive things about a superstar. Kobe is a great person to be able to take the time to meet kids that are sick. Thank's Kobe and Kevin for bringing such a great story!

It's great to see this article, Kevin any chance of this story airing on ESPN. WE always hear the negatives of peoples lives especially super stars lives and so what, that's not what everyone wants to hear, we all have that chance to change our lives and learn from our mistakes, too much hate in this world. It would be nice to see something about Kobe on ESPN that has nothing to do about basketball but that he is doing other things for others that can't help themselves. Thanks,LAKERZ FO LIFE.
